NURTURING US

Chapter 57

Sidharth didn’t leave Shehnaaz but she was upset with him, or may be trying to be upset with him and was failing miserably…
“I am sorry na Baby, I promise ab se aise tera time kisi ko bhi nai dunga…” He whispered in her ear and kissed her cheeks…
She wrapped her arm around his neck and was about to say something when Asim came in with Baaz and Qiran…
Kabir pulled out of the hug and Naira blushed as she saw everyone around her…
“Ki haal chaal” asked Baaz and held her sister in his arms… Sidharth was lost in Shehnaaz and didn’t focus on anything said by the ones present.
“Sidharth! Bro wake up!” said Asim and Shehnaaz burst out saying, “Kabir ke bare me soch raha hoga… Yaad aa rahi hogi isko us bache ki jo mere se zyada time liya Sidharth ka… Asim chal tu bahar leke jaa mujhe… Dikha apna sheher mujhe…” said Shehnaaz waking Sidharth up and he glared at her, “Kya bol rahi hai Baby, abhi to maan gayi thi..”
Shehnaaz folded her arms and had an angry pout mode on looking absolutely cute… Sidharth looked around to see if the mothers were there or not and bent down, held her face softly with one palm and kissed her while the other arm snaked around her waist pulling her closer…
As he left her lips she hid her face in his chest and he protectively wrapped his arms around her, resting his head on hers…
“Awww! How cute you both are? You can’t stay away from each other and always fight as well… Damn I missed you guys, I am coming to Bombay with you all…” said Asim and SidNaaz pulled him in a group hug too…
They spent a great time together and then called both the mommies for Dinner…
“Hamare liye yehi kamre me bhijwa sakte ho? Thakan si ho rahi hai, Bombay me itni thand nai hoti aur Parminder Ji mere sath reh lengi..” asked Mommy Shukla and Sidharth quickly asked the waiter to get dinner for the mommies in their cottage and took the rest of the gang to have dinner…
“Shehnaaz, Baby, please tu jacket pehen le, aise mat ghum..”
“Bebu, mai Punjab se hu aur Dalhousie me padhi hu tu bhul jata hai kya? Aadat hai mujhe aise Mausam me rehne ki… Thand ni lagti mujhe…” said Shehnaaz and he imagined how Kabir might have felt when he was explaining the same to naira..
“Baby, kafi time se you haven’t been in such cold weather, ek Shawl hi rakh le.. Please..” He said softly and she agreed…
They all went to have dinner in the dining of the hotel and Asim had great fun with the gang as he was meeting them after a long time….
Kabir Agrawal and his parents came to have dinner too and Sidharth made them meet Asim as promised… The trio clicked pictures with them and then Asim left for his house and the rest walked to their respective cottages..
Sidharth was stuck to Shehnaaz as they slept waiting for the excitement of the further trip taking over their minds..
The morning was a little grumpy for Sidharth and Shehnaaz.. They were being super lazy as it was really cold and they didn’t feel like leaving the bed…
Their phones rang as everyone had woken up already and were making efforts to wake SidNaaz..
“Bas, yehi bacha tha ab…. Sala pura trip organize mai kiya aur sab mujhe hi nai sone de rahe hai..” He growled as he picked up the call..
“Ha boliye Mom..”
“Beta everyone is awake and we are waiting to have breakfast.. It is already 10am..” said Mom and Sidharth told her, “Aa rahe hai humlog. You guys start eating. Don’t wait.” Said Sidharth and disconnected the call..
He wrapped his arms around Shehnaaz and was sleeping again…. She tried coking out of his hold, “Bebu! Chal ab…. Jaag jaaa please…. Yaha ghumne aaye hai ya sone?”
Sidharth got irritated and left her and turned around…. Shehnaaz went to freshen up and turned on the geyser so that there is warm water to take a shower..
She was getting irritated because Sidharth was getting irritated without any reason.. She got a glass of water and filled it with cold water and went to Sidharth’s bed side and looked at him sleeping with a frown on his face..
“Sota hua bhi chidega.. Ruk ab..” said Shehnaaz and splashed icy cold water on his face!!
“What the fuck!” growled Sidharth trying to hold her but failed since she was fast to run away from him..
She quickly locked herself inside the bathroom and turned on the shower and enjoyed the warm water splashing over her…. She laughed thinking how will Sidharth punish her for this but was super satisfied for how she woke him up…
She dressed up inside the bathroom and was getting scared to come out..
Sidharth washed his face in the extra basin in his cottage.. He laughed as he thought about his morning incident.. “Pagal Hai ye ladki.. Ab pakka dar rahi hogi bahar aane ke liye..” he thought to herself and walked to the bathroom and knocked the door..
He said in stern voice, “Shehnaaz, bahar aao.. Mujhe nahana hai.. Tumhare thande pani dalne ki wajah se mujhe cheekh Aa rahi hai..” and fake sneezed making Shehnaaz scared….
She started feeling guilty and Sidharth fake sneezed again…. She quickly opened the door and Sidharth saw she had tears in her eyes…. He played along..
“Kitna time laga rahi ho tum. Hato jagah do..” He said again in straight tone…
“Sidhaaartthh.. Sorry na.. Mai garam pani rakhi hu tere liye..” said Shehnaaz and Sidharth cut her off in middle and walked inside the bathroom…
He laughed as he closed the door and here Shehnaaz got really tensed and was walking back and forth waiting for Sidharth to come and thankfully he came out soon…
He was looking madly hot with a towel wrapped around his waist and his wet hair falling on his forehead.. He had another towel in his hand.. He was drying his hair in front of the mirror and he fake sneezed again..
“Sidhaaartthh! Mai kar deti hu, tu rest kar.. Please Bebu!” She said as she tried to hold the Towel but he jerked her hand away softly..
He quickly dressed up and looked at Shehnaaz all tensed and couldn’t see her like that… He didn’t know she was really upset and started laughing..
“Has kyu raha hai?”
“Mai mazak kar raha tha!”
Shehnaaz lost it and growled in anger but he held her in his arms hugging her tight…
“Acha sorry na Baby…. Tu bhi mujhe thande pani se uthai na.. Mai bas masti kar raha tha Jaan..”
She didn’t stay angry more but she was really pissed.. She thought of taking a proper revenge…
“Chal baby, breakfast karte hai.. I am hungry..” said Sidharth and she agreed but she wasn’t smiling..
He decided to give her a little time because he realised he went really over the board with his joke and he didn’t force her to be fine just at once…
They walked together to the dining area and everyone looked at them but didn’t notice the Frowned face of Shehnaaz…
They had a silent breakfast and Asim had sent his two cars for them to come to Kashmir..
Shehnaaz walked in the car where the mommies were sitting and settled next to Adith in the front seat..
“Ye kya kar rahi hai..” Sidharth thought, “Itna kyu stretch kar rahi hai ye..”
He sat in the car in which Kabir and Naira were sitting.. He narrated everything to Naira and she laughed holding her stomach…
“Mamu! You are so so gone! I am waiting to reach Asim Bhai’s House… really!”
“Asim bhai kab se hua?” asked Sidharth….
“Ab he is hot, uncle nai bol sakti, sirf Asim bolungi to ye Kabir sadh jaega.. So Asim Bhai hi sahi hai..” said Naira…
“Ha kar le tu bhi side change.. Kabir you tell me.. I didn’t do anything major.. Itna kya upset jai.. Adith ke sath baith gayi..”
“Mamu, you know how Mami is.. She really might have got scared thinking she was the reason behind your illness.. And specially it’s cold here..”
“Haa, kal mai samjhaya Isliye aaj tu samjha rhaa hai.. Acha hai Acha hai.. Sahi hai..” said Sidharth in frustration knowing Kabir was actually right..
Shehnaaz told the mommies everything too and they laughed too.. But supported her..
She called Asim and asked him to give the call to Umar..
“Hi Shehnaaz! Kaisi ho.” Asked Umar..
“Mai achi hu.. Aapki help chahiye..” said Shehnaaz…
“Ha bolo na..” Said Umar and Shehnaaz told him everything and Umar agreed to help her with making Sidharth jealous..
“Ab Maza aaega.. Maa aap dono Sidharth ko kuch bolna nai.. Aur Adith tu agar kuch bola to tu soch fir mai tere sath kya karungi..”
Adith had no option but to agree..
Shehnaaz reached before Sidharth and hugged Umar, “Thaank You!”
Sidharth saw her hugging Umar and started losing already…
He walked to the door inside and Asim hugged him.. Sidharth didn’t even notice Asim first and was taken aback when Asim hugged him..
“Welcome home Man!” said Asim and Sidharth smiled meekly..
Asim’s parents came and welcomed the mommies and Baaz, Qiran, Kabir and Naira..
“Wow Shehnaaz, you have become leaner and hotter!” said Umar when Sidharth had reached there and forwarded his hand to shake..
“Hey Man!” said Sidharth…
Umar and Shehnaaz looked at each other and smirked.. Sidharth started getting furious!
