Can't let YOU go !!!

CHAPTER 16: JEALOUSY

"Yeah, I know her from some days. She is a very sweet girl you know. If you once meet her you cant ever forget her." Rita ji said.

"Yeah, I know" he said.

His Mom turned to him in shock..

"What? How do you know?"

***** 

'Oh shit Sidharth, what did you blabbered' he thought

"I mean if you are saying then she must be unforgettable." He said as if he didn't face this kind of situation.

He knew his mother is right. People can't forget her once they meet her. Like he couldn't forget her for a single moment from the day they meet.

"Yes beta. It's her smile that catch people." She said

Sidharth chuckled inwardly. 'Not only her smile that catch people. She has more catchy things. Her shiny eyes, her luscious lips, her chubby cheeks, her curvaceous figure, her long legs, her milky skin.' His thought broke with another tug in his shirt.

"Sidharth kya soch raha hain beta? Kahan kho jata hain. Hospital ke bare me soch raha hain?" she complained

"No, Mom. It's just that" he didn't complete the sentence.

"You're impossible. Enjoy the function." She suggested.

They watched the show children performing on different songs. Some were singing, some were dancing. There was a constant smile on both Sidharth and his mom's face.

Sidharth laughed loud when a kid came on the stage, performed and then said he has to go pee on mike. Kids!!!!!! They are innocent. Sidharth was in a happy mood till he saw Shehnaaz came on the stage holding Asim's hand.

His eyes got stuck at their hands. They stood in the middle and then music started. They started dancing. Shehnaaz was dancing so well. Her moves was so sexy and pretty. But then they came closer and danced with hand in hand. She twirled around Asim. they danced on a peppy number. Audience were rooting for them but Sidharth was hell pissed of now. But why? Why should he feel that. She is dancing. And the boy next to her works with her. she must be comfortable with her. but that logic wasn't working on Mr. logical Shukla today.

'Why they are dancing so close!' he wasn't liking it. He couldn't even tolerate the sight of Shehnaaz having a Boy so close. his hand formed into a fist. Those 3 minutes of performance felt like a lifetime. Sidharth lost it when Asim held her waist and made her fall in his hand ending their performance.

Sidharth stood up with a jerk. His nostril flared.

"Mom, I'm leaving. Aap driver ke sath a jana" he said in a cold tone.

Shehnaaz noticed him standing up as he was in the first row. He was so tall that everybody can see him even from distance.

Audience gave a huge round of applause.

Shehnaaz took the mike.

"Thank you everyone. Thanks a lot. Please take your seat everyone." She said exactly looking at Sidharth.

Sidharth was back facing her, but her words, he somehow felt it was only for him. And it was for him.

Sidharth exhaled loudly. He was about to leave but her words didn't let him. He again took the seat.

That seemed a little surprising to his mother. After all, A mother is a mother. They knows everything. Even if they don't know, they get the vibes. Why he said he would leave and now he took the seat after Shehnaaz.

Her hopes got a new rise. His son might like this girl. Of course, why not! How can anyone not like this girl. She has the purest heart, Golden heart, in a beautiful body. She is intelligent enough also. She smile broadly.

The function took a break for give the audience some snacks.

Shehnaaz along with some others from her team personally gave snacks to the audience. Seema, a girl who works with Shehnaaz was going to the row where Sidharth and his Mom sat. Suddenly Shehnaaz stopped her,

"Sun, please tu iss row me ja." Shehnaaz requested.

"kyun?" seema asked.

"kyunki mujhe yaha jana hain.. Please ab ye matt puchna ki kyun!!! Time kam hain.. Please yaar." She said please like a baby which seema couldn't refuse,

"thik hain.. dramebazz" she said and left.. shehnaaz smirked at her own behave.

Shehnaaz gave everyone Packets of snacks till she reached towards Sidharth. He was doing something in his phone,

She stood exactly in front of him and paused for a second. Sidharth recognized her fragrance. It smelt like rose. His heart knew it was her. He looked up at her. She smiled at him. The same smile that we give people we know, people we like.

Shehnaaz was about to say something, when Rita ji called her from the seat beside Sidharth.

"Arre Shehnaaz beta." Shehnaaz turned to her and gave a broad smile this time. Rita ji stood up approaching her for a hug. She gave in willingly.. Sidharth's heart felt an unusual peace watching that. And a little jealousy seeing Shehnaaz holding his mother so tight, so warningly. He can see her smiling face from his mother's shoulder.

They parted.

"Hello aunty. Kaisi hain aap?" Shehnaaz asked holding her hand in her own.

"Acchi hoon beta. Tu kaisi hain?" Rita ji asked.

"Main to mast hoon, hamesha ki tarha. Or itni acchi banke aayi. Bura kaise rahungi batao!!" she giggled.

"Acchi banke aayi matlab?" Rita ji asked being confused what she said. Even Sidharth who was watching them from side was confusesd.

Shehnaaz pouted her lips and said like a baby

"Kyuuunn!!! Main acchi nehi dikhrahi?" she almost complained to Rita ji like a 5 year old complain to her mother. Sidharth had smile on his face seeing that. They both now got what Shehnaaz

Meant.

"Arreh, Tu sirf acchi hi nehi, Pari lagrahi hain baccha. Tu waise vi meri Pari baccha hain." Saying this she kissed Shehnaaz on her cheeks.

"Wohh to main hu" Shehnaaz again giggled like a baby.

Sidharth was shocked watching his mother and Shehnaaz being this comfortable with each other. His heart pounded. He doesn't know why.

Exactly then a guy came to her.

"Oh, Shehnaaz, Sarita ji puch rahi hain, kab tak firse function start hoga or unki files kahan pe hain funds ke?"

"We will restart the program exactly at 4. Or wohh files unke desk ke niche drawer me hain. Aur suno, bacchoko dekhne ke kisiko bhejo, sare hi yaha pe mat raho." She said with such professionalism.

Sidharth watched her in awe. Two seconds before she was a childlike girl and the next moment she is so mature, so responsible.

Shehnaaz again turned to Rita ji, the very moment that guy left.

"aap betho na. Aur batao. Mere bacche kaise lage?" she asked what made Sidharth confused. 'uske bacche!! Matlab!!'
