CHAPTER 31 NURTURING US
“Sidhaaartthh! Ab bas na.. Tujhe aankhein kholne hongi Bebu.. Dekh tu jaag jaega to hamare Little Space bhi jana hai na.. Bebu! Mera Bacha.. Jaag Jaa meri Jaan.. Dekh, Maa Aa rahe hai.. Aise milega unse.. Kyu nai manta meri baat.. Bas na ab.. Bas hua Sidharth ab.. Dekh, mai count karti hu to tu Baat karna chalu kar deta hai na.. (The episode where they did role reversal in the bathroom’s bed and he counted and she spoke)
Shehbaaz met Shukla family in the entrance of the hospital and guided them to Sidharth’s room.. Mom was speechless.. She was blaming herself because Sidharth broke down after Mom’s call..
“Maaa!” Shehnaaz cooed as she saw Mom and hugged her..
“Shehnaaz! I am sorry. Ye sab meri wajah se hua hai.. Agar maine Sidharth se gusse me Baat nai kari hoti to aaj ye hota hi nai.”
Shehnaaz got a little strong for mom.. She knew the mother son duo.. The way they think.. “Maa, Hume himmat rakhna hai na.. Aise nai haar sakte.. Aap shant ho jao.. Hamara Sidharth strong hai..”
Preeti Di and Naira were shaken by Sidharth’s situation.. Naira came to console Shehnaaz and Preeti Di came to Mom..
“Maa, aap ghar jao.. Aapko araam ki zarurat hai.. Please aap tabiyat na kharab karo apni..”
Didi agreed, “Sidharth ke pass baitho thodi der.. Fir chalte hai.. Aap fikar na karo, thankfully there is less injury.. He will wake up soon.. Mera bhai sher hai.. Relax..”
Didi had to be strong, for mom and Shehnaaz and that’s why she was motivating them and making sure that they don’t lose hope.. She had been to the doctor while Mom was with Shehnaaz and she knew nothing major had happened.. She told the doctor about his conversation with his mom.. The doctor told her, “This could be related to stress also.. So don’t worry.. I know this won’t be much of an issue.. He might get up in a few hours..”
Didi told this to Shehnaaz and she felt comparatively better and she had good hopes and positive vibes.. She knew her baby was strong and he will get up soon and listen to her non stop banter with full attention…
Mom, Didi and Jiju left in sometime and Kushal (T) was in another guilt zone.. Shehnaaz asked Naira and Shehbaaz to sit with Sidharth while she went out and spoke with Kushal..
“Kushal, thoda relax kar.. Dekh usko gehri chot nai aayi hai.. Doctor ne bole hai wo uth jaega. Please apne aap ko doshi mat maano.. Wo jald uthega. Dekha.. Mera Sher hai wo.” Said Shehnaaz getting the guilt away of Kushal….
He hugged her and cried, “Mera Bhai hai aur meri car se hi accident ho gaya.” Shehnaaz rubbed his back, “Bas bass..” she pulled out of the hug and took him inside to see Sidharth..
“Maine aisi halat kar di uski.. Kaise dekhu” Kushal decided to stay back with Shehnaaz, Naira and Shehbaaz… Everyone left leaving Naira and Shehnaaz inside Sidharth’s room..
Shehnaaz sat with Sidharth yet again and held his hand, “Dekh Bebu, Sab tujhe kitna bharosa karte hai. Tu jagega na.. Acha chal, Raat ko soya reh subhe uth jana okay? Promise bebu.? Deal kar na.. Naira bol na teri sachi sun lega. Tujhe kabhi mana nai karta na..”
“Mami, come here. Lay down for sometime.. Aao yaha..”
“Mai nai chor rahi.. Sidharth ko aise pakad ke sone ki aadat hai.”
“Mami, You need to be strong, please Maan jao.. Aa jao chalo..”
Shehnaaz somehow agreed but she asked for sometime, “Mai aati hu, thodi der..”
Shehnaaz caressed his hair again and kissed his eyes, his nose and his cheeks.. She pecked his lips and rubbed her palm on his chest.. “Mai na pass me hi hu Bebu. Mai leti hu yaha. Jagega to mai hu yaha.”
She rubbed his arm! Ah! She was finding it so so difficult to get herself away from him but she knew she had to rest too..
“Naira, tu baith na uske pass.. Mai leti hu thodi der bas..”
“Mami, relax mai yehi baithi hu.. Aapka rest karna zaruri hai.. Come on you lay down..”
Shehnaaz kept her face towards Sidharth as she lay down.. She had to rest. It had been a long day for both of them and he wasn’t getting up..
She somehow rested for an hour and a half.. She got up and asked Naira to rest while she sat with Sidharth..
She held his hand and rubbed it, kissed it and hugged it.. “Sidharth, tujhe na mai bulaungi nai agar aise meri sunega nai to.. Chal na ab aadhi raat ho chuki hai.. Dekh tera gym ka time ho raha hai na.. Chal uth ja Please.”
She didn’t leave his hand and she waited for him to get up.. Time passed, Morning came.. It was around 5pm and Shehnaaz broke down again..
“Tu hi hai mera baby, tu to hamesha sunta hai na meri baat.. Bebu, please.. Sataega bola tha mai yaad rakhi hu.. Lekin ab mai hurt ho jaungi tu nai utha to..” She bent down, touching his forehead with hers and tears rolled down her eyes, falling on his face..
She got up, wiping her tears, “Mai nai roungi.. Mai strong hu na mere Bebu jaise.. Maine nai rona..”
She held his hand and she felt his hand gripping to hers..
“Sidharth, Bebu.. Uth gaya tu..”
Sidharth opened his eyes slowly and his eyes met hers.. A smile appeared into his face as he looked at her after waking up..
“Shehnaaz!” He called her in a weak low voice.. Her broken pieces of heart were joining up as she heard her name from him..

IS QADAR TU MUJHE PYAAR KAR.. JISEY KABHI NA SUKOON.. PHIR BHULA..

“Mera Baby.. Mai doctor ko bulati hu..”
Sidharth closed his eyes again and the doctor checked him up.. The doctor asked him a few general questions and asked him to rest for sometime.
“He is absolutely fine, bas breakfast se pehle dressing change karwa lena.. I am surprised to see him get up so soon.. He is strong definitely.. Take care both of you..” said the doctor blessing the couple.. Shehnaaz thanked the doctor  folded her hands, thanking Babaji for waking his Sidharth up..

ZINDAGI LAYI HUMEIN YAHA.. KOI IRADA TO HOGA BHALA..

Sidharth gestured her to come close to him.. He wasn’t talking much, he was just gesturing.. She understood and came close to him.. He pecked her lips and she smiled as she felt his lips on hers..
“Tu thik hai?” He again asked her in a low voice..
“Mera chor Sidharth..” He nodded in a no and raised his eye brows asking her again..
“Mai thik hu Sidharth, nai thi, lekin ab tu jaag gaya hai na, mai thik hu ab.. Tu araam kar..”
He smiled and gestured her to lay beside him.. She thought for a while and in the meanwhile, he held her wrist pulling her close to him..

KI DARKHAAST HAI YE.. JO AAYI RAAT HAI YA.. TU MERI BAAHO ME DUNIYA BHULA DEY..

“Sidharth, tu araam kar na please..”
“Shushhhh.. Tu so ja, mai abhi thik hu.. Tujhe sone ki zarurat hai..”

JO AB LAMHAAT HAI YE. BADE HI KHAS HAI YE. TU MERI BAAHO ME DUNIYA BHULA DEY..
She slept as he wrapped his arm around her and looked at her as she slept.. He was again thinking..
“I know I was wrong, I know.. but that’s how I am.. Mom was right… I am a disappointment but she loves me, I love her and that’s all what’s more important.. I misbehaved with Shehnaaz, asked for forgiveness and She took a little time but forgave me.. That’s it for now.. I will have to talk to mom but Ahh! My head is aching..”
With such thoughts, he slept again, not unconscious this time.. This was needed for both of them, a sound peaceful sleep in each other’s embrace!
The multiple nights of struggling, fighting, staying away from each other and finally patching up but then this accident came up, Sidharth got unconscious and now he was awake! Finally.. They were in each other’s arms, happy and together..
The long painful days and even more painful nights turned into happiness.. Finally! They were together, happy and very much in love..
The upcoming days will get them more closer and stronger and better with each other.. To know what will happen, pen down your views below and wait for the next day to come!
