NURTURING US

Chapter 19

Sidharth walked in Vikas’s vanity and told him everything. His restlessness was visible.
“Bas abhi aisa scene shoot hone wala hai. Like jo misunderstanding tum dono ke beech hogi that will be sorted in the shoot. So, let’s see what will happen.”
Sidharth sighed and agreed. The next shot was ready and they had to change their outfits. Shehnaaz wore a suit with multiple Doris in her back and Sidharth was clad up in a Kurta looking absolutely Handsome.
As they stepped out of their vanities, their gaze was stuck at each other. Shehnaaz had melted completely now and after seeing his efforts she had decided to forgive him by lunch break and asked VG to give them a half day off to which he agreed… VG didn’t tell this to Sidharth as he wanted him to be happy when his wife forgives him at the moment.
They came back to reality when Badesha came with Juice as Shehnaaz was feeling weak.
“Kya hua Shehnaaz? Tu thik hai Baby? Ye juice to tu jab weak feel karti hai tab peeti hai na.” He cupped her face with love and she felt the warmth of his love as his palm touched her face. She closed her eyes in response instead of replying back to him. He loved seeing his effect on her. Nothing was more satisfying than feeling her close to him.
“Mai thik hu, bas thoda weak feel ho raha hai. Kyu pata nahi.”
She replied in her normal tone. He felt as if he was getting his world back listening to her not so cold tone.
“Kaha Kho gaya? Shoot karna hai. Chale?” She asked bringing him back to reality. He couldn’t help but held her face and pressed his lips on her forehead!
How much did she miss his forehead kisses, a tiny tear left her eyes as she felt his lips on her forehead? She kept her hand on his chest and his heart started beating normally again.
He knew she was about to forgive him; he just knew it… He grinned at Vikas and he just chuckled at Sidharth.
The patch up scene that they were about to shoot was cute and romantic. They had to be really close to each other and he had protectively wrapped his arms around her waist. The Doris at her back was making him lose his control. His hand caressed the exposed skin at her back sending shivers down her spine. She closed her eyes and bit her lips trying not to chant his name.
That’s when Shehnaaz heard cut she came back to reality and looked at Sidharth who was clearly enjoying how she melted under his touch and she cursed herself for it.
She got away from his embrace but he pulled her close. “Please sath khana kha le, I miss you Baby. I promise to be decent with you. I am so sorry for being such an a**hole. I am a b**tard I know.”
She kept her finger on his lips, “Khabardar mere Sidharth ko gali di to. Jaan le lungi.”
Ah! How much did he love her and how much more did she love him? There’s no way they could measure who loves more. They just couldn’t.
“Be professional sidharth… Co-star ke sath itna free hone ki zarurat nahi hai.”
She said trying to keep a poker face but couldn’t control for long and he picked her up in his arms and took her inside his vanity. He kept her on the bed and ran out to close the door from inside and walked back to the bed and crushed her in his arms. Both broke down.
“I love you so much. I am so sorry for behaving like that. Mujhe khud nahi samjh aaya…”
She shushed him again and kissed him… Her soft lips brushed through his rough ones and he tasted of smoke…. She knew he smoked too much during their fight... She left his lips and he groaned pulling her closer wanting to kiss her again…
“Shant ho jaa. Please. Mai maan gi hu na. Ab tu restless hona band kar.”
“Baby, mujhe chor ke nahi jaegi na kabhi. Tune pehle bhi wada kiya tha ki ghar chor ke nahi jaegi, lekin tu chali gayi thi.”
“Mai aa gayi na kuch ghanta me. Aur chor ke thodi gayi thi, Mere bhai ke pass bas 2 din ka samaan leke gayi thi, to Shukla Ji maine koi promise nai toda. lekin tu samjh. Gussa ek ache rishte ko bigad sakta hai Sidharth. Mera dil bho dukha, lekin tere bina bhi dil dukh raha tha. Aur please, agli baar aise mere pair pakad ke so nai jana. Acha nai lagta aise. Please Sidharth.”
She was blabbering continuously and Sidharth was lost in her voice, in her eyes, in her altogether. He had got her back. She was with him and now he needed nothing more.
“Madam, Aap hamare sath date pe chalengi aaj raat?”
She blushed as the way his gaze was at her; her back was teasing him to no end. He went close to her and opened each Dori and his hands wandered around her bare back. She closed his eyes as his long cold fingers touched her. She was melting under his touch and after a while, she was craving for him.
He bent forward and dug his face in the crook of her neck, his lips touching the skin of her chest, making her weak in her knees.
“Oh! Sidharth!” She moaned and rubbed his back.
He came out of her neck and kissed her forehead. He handed her his worn shirt and she quickly wore it over her suit.
“Mera shoot hai ek do important. Wo khatam karna hai.” He sulked in a corner playing with her dupatta and she couldn’t help but kiss his cheeks and nose. How much did she miss him? when he was right in front of him.
“Mat jaa na please.” He requested holding her closer and she couldn’t deny. She wrapped her arms around him and felt his warmth, his heartbeats were high and she rubbed his chest to calm him down.
“I am so so so sorry Meri Jaan. Ye shoot ke wajah se thoda mach mach hua tha dimag me. Tu janti hai na. I am sorry ke maine tujhse baat nai ki, teri baat nai suna. I am really sorry for shouting at you, my baby. and I am sorry for making you cry so much, when you have always loved me… I am sorry for everything. Also, about that statement, sham me ye chahiye din me koi aur… I am absolutely sorry for this”
“Sidharth, ye kabhi mat bolna wapas… Abhi bola, bola. Lekin abhi sunne me bhi meri jaan nikal rahi hai. Please.”
He hugged her and caressed her cheeks, “Never ever baby. I am so sorry again!”
“Bas Bebu. Mai thik hu ab.”
“Taras gaya tha tere muh se ye Bebu sunne ke liye, Mera naam sunne ke liye. I missed you so fucking much my Love! I promise to never ever behave in such a way.”
Shehnaaz just kissed his forehead and his frown turned into a small smile.
“Hurt ni na karega ab?”
“Nai karunga, bas sataunga, hurt nai karunga sachi!”
“Kaminna!”
“Wo to mai hu, acha baby listen, Wear the dress Baaz will give you… I have bought it for you specially yesterday...!”
She smiled in assurance and they heard a knock on his vanity… It was one of the spot boys asking for Shehnaaz.
Sidharth finally let go of her, “Take care baby, okay. Wait in your vanity, I will pick you up from there only.”
“Sidharth, maine ek Bura Sapna dekha hai, tu please akele kahi nai jaana. Mera Mann ghabraya sa hai.”
“Relax! Kuch nai hoga… Tu hai na mere sath, bas mai sahi rahunga.” He said kissing her forehead and she walked to her vanity and had a couple of shoots with Mahhi.
Sidharth was on cloud nine… She forgave him and he wanted to make it memorable…
His phone rang and it was his Mom.
He picked it up and as he disconnected the call, tears rolled down his eyes… He felt so bad of himself… He went into a guilt trip, not realising where was he going… He walked down the busiest street and didn’t realise when he started walking in the middle of the road and a car passing by him hit him!
Adith looked for him in his vanity as Sidharth had asked him to do something done but he couldn’t find him. He walked out and found about his accident.
Meanwhile, Shehnaaz finished her shoot, wore the clothes given by sidharth and looked around for him but couldn’t find him. Adith came to her, “Bhabhi, Sidharth ka accident ho gaya hai.” What happened in the phone call? What made Sidharth feel so bad? How will Shehnaaz react? TBC!
