Opposites Attract ✅

Chapter 14

As Shehnaaz goes to Sid's room, she notices the girl walking out of the room accompanied by Mahesh. She stares at Shehnaaz from top to bottom as she walk past her. Shehnaaz quietly enters Sid's room. Sid is sitting on the sofa.

Shehnaaz: Hi Sidharth. I have come to collect the list of suitress you shortlisted.(with a straight face)

Sid: Hey Chashmish. I will give you the list but looks like out of 3 we will have to strike out 1 names.

Shehnaaz: Huhh..?

Sid: Did you see the girl who just exited the room? (Shehnaaz nods) She is Shefali Verma, my paternal aunt's daughter, one of the suitress. Mahesh escorted her to her room.

Shehnaaz: Okay, she seemed to have already impressed you!

Sid: What? Why would you say that?

Shehnaaz: I had came ealier to your room, you seemed to be very comfortable with her.

Sid: (Nervously starts explaining) She scared a hell out of me. I took hot shower, lied on my bed and took a short nap.

Suddenly I realized someone sitting on my back. I got scared! When I turned, I saw Shefali. I asked her what was she upto and she said Mahesh informed her that I was tired and was resting in my room so she thought of giving me a massage.

Shehnaaz: So did you enjoy the massage Sidharth?

Sid: Hell No!! I mean I didn't get massage from her. Though I needed one! Can I ask you for the massage?

Shehnaaz: Sure Sidharth, I'll book a massuse for you.

Sid: Massuse? You know I can't afford one since my salary is very less. That's why asked you for it.

Shehnaaz: Oh!! In that case you could have enjoyed the free massage offered to you earlier.

Sid: Chuck it! Just take the list and leave (Hands the list lying on the table infront of him)

Shehnaaz: Sidharth, as you said that you would have to strike a name from here. Would you please tell me which one should I strike out?

Sid: How does it make any difference? You can strike out any one.

Shehnaaz: But you are the one who would be marrying so it should be your choice. How can I decide for you?

Sid: Chashmish! If my choice mattered so much I would have been married to you by now. But you aren't agreeing.

Shehnaaz: Okay, I'll strike out one. Thank you. (Turns and exits the room)

Sid smiles at her escape and no response. His thoughts - what if one day she really agrees to my proposal? Wow!! That's sounds quite good though! The way she was enquiring about Shefali's act, she already gave me wife vibes. I am already skeptical about how the two ladies Mahira and Shefali are getting so touchy. I shouldn't judge them too soon though. Maa, I just hope the other two can be little bit sober.

Shehnaaz looks at the list, she decides to invite first two ladies. She rings up their parents and set up call with Mrs. Singhania to talk further to get them invited. Mrs. Singhania asks Shehnaaz to get the rooms ready for the two ladies who would arrive the next day.

Next day, when Sid and Shehnaaz return from office. They are informed by Mahesh to be present in lawn at 6:30pm for high tea as instructed by Mrs. Singhania.

Sid puts on a casual clothes and goes to the lawn a little early and he looks at a girl wearing a green dress who is helping Mahesh with table arrangement. When see turns Sid is taken aback it's Shehnaaz and she looked gorgeous and dressed according to the occasion.
