NURTURING US

Chapter 50

“Mera Bebu, bol na kya ho raha hai? kya soch raha hai?”
“Mai itna bura hu kya?”
“Nai Sidharth…”
“Mai hamesha galat hota hu?”
“Nahi Sidharth… Kya kehna chah raha hai?”
“Mai hamesha gussa hi karta hu?”
“Nai Sidharth, tera gussa hamesha ni rehta…. Ye sab kya puch raha hai?”
“Tu bas jawab de… Mere liye nai, aiwai nai na bol…. Jo sach hai wo bol….”
“Sidharth, jab tu galat hota hai mai bol deti hu, abhi tu nai hai galat isliye mai wahi bol rahi hu… Hua kya hai bata ab….” She said as she caressed his hair trying to calm him down….
“Kabir ke dad ne bole na ki Tu sath hai to thik hai, wo mere gusse se dare hue the….”
She hugged her keeping him close to her heart and held his hand along and kissed his knuckles, “Bebu, unhone aur bhi achi baate kare, tu wo ek baat ko hi leke baith gaya hai…. Wo masti kar rahe the, itna kyu soch raha hai….”
He held her tighter, “Ab kya karu, anger is a part of me… Kabir pe mai bhadakta nai hu, kabhi nai bhadka hu…. Bas I am protective towards Naira… Aaj maine usse phone pe araam se baat kiya na…. Champ bola, usko bola ki mujhe Mamu hi bol Sir mat bol…. Fir bhi mere gusse ko highlight kiye uske dad…. Aur tu aa rahi hai sath isliye unko tension nai hai…. Matlab mai akele Naira aur Kabir ko leke jata to wo tension lete?”
“Sidharth bas kar itna sab sochna…. Unhone shayad Bigg Boss dekhe hoenge aur usse judge kar rahe hoenge…. Kabir tujhse intimidate hota hai, darta nai hai…. Tu samjh bebu…. Tere bare me log assume kar lete hai kuch bhi…. Kyu baar baar logo ki baato se effect hota hai… Jaane de na meri jaan… Gauahar bhi to Bakwas kari hai BB13 ke time tere bare me, lekin ab thik ho gayi na…. Har kisi ki baat se low mat feel kar…. Tujhe samjhna har kisi ke bas ki baat nai hai…”
“Mai itna difficult hu samjhne ke liye?”
“Arey Baby, waisa nai bol rahi hu… Tu pyara sa hai na dil se aur tere dole shole, teri height teri body badi si hai, isliye log tujhe gusse me dekhte hai to unko aisa lagta hai tu aisa hi hai…. Tujhe samjhna mushkil hai aisa nai bol rahi… Tujhe samjhne ke liy eke pyara sa dil chahiye bas….”
Sidharth felt a little better once he heard what Shehnaaz said….
“Sidharth meri baat sun… Dekh tune Kabir ko test karne ke liye uske sath thoda harsh tha, tu dekhna chahta tha wo sahi hai ya nai, isliye wo tere bare me aisa sochta hai ki tu strict hai… ek baar sath aaega aur dekhega to samjh jaega tu kaisa hai…. Mat soch na please…. Tu hi samjhaya tha na ki koi ek insan bhi dil se pasand kare to bhi koi problem nai hai na….”
“Tu darti hai mujhse jab mai gussa hota hu?” He asked as he came out of her chest and looked at her, his arms still wrapped around her waist tightly….
She came out of his hold and turned on the dim lights of the balcony making the mood a bit better….
She got back to the same position and answered his question, “Meri Jaan, Tu meri baat samjh…. Mai tere gusse se darti bhi hu aur nai bhi darti hu….”
“Matlab?”
“Matlab ye, ki mai janti hu ki tu mujhe gusse me hurt nai karega… Mai darti hu kyu ke ye tere liye acha nai hai… Mai ye darti hu ki agar tu kaam wali jagah me gussa kiya to faltu ki headline chapegi, mai tab darti hu jab tu Mom ke sath bhadakta hai…. Maa ke hurt hone se darti hu… Mera baby, mai janti hu mujhe tu kabhi bhi us tarike se hurt nai karega chahe tu kitna bhi gusse me ho….” She finally made her statement clear….
“Sach?” he asked making her upset, “Ab itna detail me boli fir bhi doubt kar raha hai… Aur kya bolu ab?”
He smiled and kissed her pouted lips but she didn’t kiss him back… He sucked onto her lips thinking she would kiss him back but she didn’t… she neither stopped him nor kissed him back….
He pinched her waist and bit her lower lip and she had no option to open her mouth and kiss him….
“Kuttey!” she murmured as he left her lips and he smirked with satisfaction….
“Sona hai?” he asked and she nodded her head in disagreement….
“Kyu?”
“Khana ni khaya hai tu thik se… Baitha reh yaha…. Mai daal chawal leke aati hu….”
“Tu mat ja, tere sir me dard tha na?”
“Tu dawai diya na dinner ke baad.. nai hai ab dard… Khana lati hu kha ke so jaenge… Mujhe thodi thodi aa rahi hai neend painkiller ki wajah se..”
“Mai sath aata hu…”
“Bebu, tu tab tak kapde change karle… Mai aati hu na…” He agreed and changed his clothes and she heated dinner for him… He couldn’t stay in and followed her once he changed and She smiled as he opened the fridge and stood in front of it, seeing what was inside….
“Ye kya hai?” he asked as he picked up a bowl of mashed potatoes….
“ye aloo paratha banane ke liye filling ready hai, kal ka breakfast..”
“Yayyy!” he cooed like a baby and kept it back….
“Chal ab khana garam ho gaya hai…” She said and he settled on the floor below the couch and she fed him…. He kissed her hand as he was done eating and they went to their bedroom….
“Chal so ja tu…. Mai thodi der se sounga….” Said Sidharth….
She had to option but to sleep and give him his space so that he can think about all what she said and turn his negativity into positivity….
He wasn’t that sleepy… Shehnaaz had to sleep because of the medications effect….
“Mujhe sula de.. Fir baitha rehna akele….” She requested cutely and he couldn’t deny….
He sat next to her head and patted it softly and she drifted off in just five minutes…. He brushed his fingers in her hair, massaging her scalp as she slept….
He walked out of the room once she was fully asleep and saw Mommy Gill in the kitchen grabbing a bottle of water….
“Aap abhi tak jaage ho? Sab thik? Qiran aayi?” asked Sidharth and Mommy Gill just looked down in disappointment…
Sidharth held her hand and asked her again, “Sab thik hai? Kuch hua hai kya? Aap aise sad kyu ho?”
“Aap pareshan na ho puttar.. Mai sone jati hu.. Subhe Shehnaaz ke favourite parathe banane hai.. Aap so jao..” she said and was about to leave but Sidharth didn’t leave her hand, “Maa, beta bolte ho na, to please batao aapko kya cheez pareshan kar rahi hai?”
Mommy Gill looked at him with welled up eyes and he took her to the couch and sat with her…
He wiped her tears and raised his eye brows at her and gave her a smile…. She finally said, “Shehbaaz aur Qiran ko nazar lag gayi hai…. Bhot ladne lage hai…. Samjh nai aata kaise sambhalu!”
“Ye Baat Hai? Aap iski tension na lo…. Kal mujhe aur Shehnaaz se Keh raha tha Baat karna hain…. Mai usse kal lunch ke baad Baat karunga…. Breakfast ke baad Shehnaaz ko doctor ke pass leke jana hai….”
“Kya hua usko? Sab thik hai?” mom started panicking….
“Arey Mom, relax… wo thik hai…. Bas checkup karwane jana hai…. Aap araam karo…. Tension mat lo…. Hum dono dekh lenge….” Assured Sidharth and Hugged Mom…. She cried a little and thanked God for blessing her with such amazing Son in Law….
“Ab ni rona… chalo so jao aap” said Sidharth and walked to his room…. He saw Shehnaaz curled up in bed hugging his worn shirt and chuckled….
“20 min hue hai bas aur ye mere shirt ko jhappi daal ke so gayi….” He thought to himself and settled on the bed and took her in his arms…. She happily rested her head on his chest and his arm wrapped around him as a habit and he fell asleep with her too….
The way she handled him made him understand that he wasn’t wrong seemed so beautiful and effortless to Sidharth…. That’s what he loved the most about her…. She never says anything just for the sake of it… She knows Sidharth and understands him too…. She has accepted him like he is and that’s what makes her love him more each day!
