Can't let YOU go !!!

CHAPTER 25: CONSTRAINING

Shehnaaz's doubt got clear. The phone shows Sidharth's name. her new landlord was Sidharth. And she knows well why he might buy this building. Disappointed Shehnaaz asked-

"Aap ne ye ghar Dr. Sidharth ko becha hain?" she asked gripping her phone tight in her hand to her ear out of rage.

"Haan. Aap jaante hain Dr ko." He was surprised.

She sighed and wished if she didn't know him. But she got suspicious now.

"Aap ne achanak kyun bech diya ye ghar. Aap to saloon se yaha ho" she suspiciously ask as she now got something that was fishy

"kyun ki wohh mujhe iski asli kimaat se kayi jayada de rahe hain. Aab ap baat kar ke settle kar sako to karo nehi to ghar khali karo." He said and hung up the phone.

Shehnaaz screamed in anger. She dialed the number.

A very gentle voice came through it, of course fake. He behind all these.

"Hello, Shehnaaz." he spoke.

"Kyun karr rahe hain aap aisa? Maine apka kya bigara hain Dr. Sidharth." She questioned him, she remembered how she met him. How good their interactions were.

"Maine aisa kaab kahan ki tumne mera kuch bigara" he spopke with utmost calm which was causing more hate in her. How fake he was behaving doing all these with her.

"Toh phir kyun?" she screamed. She banged her fist on the table. Once she found him so good so attractive. This is what he is behind his gentle look.

"Tumhe pata hain." He replied sounding so cold.

She sat on the floor trying to calm herself and think but it was getting taught.

"Mujhe Saadi nehi karni Aapse. Aap kyun saadi karna chahete hain mujhse?" she asked this time a little calmly.

"Baas karni hain Shehnaaz." he said clearly.

She held her head in her hand. She was quite for sometimes when Sidharth waited for her.

"Aap jabardasti kyun kar rahe hain. Hamare bich main kuch nehi tha aisa ki Saadi ki baat aaye." She tried to reason with him. He didn't say anything when she continued "Aap ko koyi vi mil jayegi jo aap se pyaar kare, unse saadi kijiye."

"Koyi aur nehi chahiye, sirf tumse karni hain." He made it clear again. She thought for a second if the situation wasn't the same his words could be something that a girl eagers to hear one day. Words that can make one's heart flatter. After a pause

"iss liye Aap itna giroge ke mere ghar ka pani aur bijli katwa do ge. Bahar se kuch aane nehi do ge. Raat ke 10 baje ghar se nikal do ge. Aur aise ladki se haan bulwayo ge. Itna giroge?" she asked hating him from the core.

"Main abhi ke abhi tumhara paani aur bijli thik karwa dunga. Saab kuch thik ho jayega. Baas tum ha boldo." He said which made her heart shudder. This is the same Sidharth who made her heart skip a beat by one touch. This is the same Sidharth who rushed to her breaking her door just to help her. same Sidharth who took care of her so good. Who just looked at her and she felt that in her core. She thought him to be the human version of the word Perfect. A person who look that good has a black heart under his chest. She can't believe all these.

"Maine aapke bare me kya socha tha" she just said these words and felt silence from him also. She thought he might understand now. He might stop all these.

"Tum abhi mere ghar me ho Shehnaaz. maine kharid liya isse. Toh isme mere hone wali biwi reh sakti hain saab facilities ke sath. Haan boldo saab thik ho jayega. Abhi light a jayega" Heartless he said.

"Aapko lagta hain ki agar ap merese ghar chin lenge to main ha boldungi. Aap ki soch galat hain. Main chahu to legally yaha reh sakti hoon. Contract hain parr Aap ke ghar rehena nehi hain. Nikal rahi hoon." She said wiping the only tear that came from her eyes.

"Kahan jayogi?" he asked mockingly. She could hear the chuckle.

"Jahan pe aap ka saya vi na ho" she answered and cut the call.

Shehnaaz was in the road with just one bag in just 10 minutes. She couldn't stay there after him claiming the house as his and he would let her live there in his mercy. She was confused where she will go. The only place she could go is her NGO. this is the only place in Mumbai where she belongs. And Its open for any helpless child. It can help her too. But what will she answer them when they will ask what is the reason behind this.

She dialed a number. That was Asim. He was there in next 15 minutes. She was feeling so alone, nobody to share her problems.

She told him everything. Everything that was in her heart. Her burden.

"Tu NGO kyun nehi jana chahiti?" he asked after listening all.

"kyun main baccho ko ye nehi dikhana chahata ki NGO ke wall ke bahar ek aisi dunia hain jaha pe ladki Saadi ke liye mana kar de to usko aise majboor kiya ja sakta hain." She wanted her children to live with positivity. Without hatred, without negativity.

The very next moment Asim hugged her tight. Sana also hugged him. Children and their welfare was a sensitive topic for both Sana and Asim. they loved their children. Safe home was everything for them.

"mere ghar me to tujhe aana nehi, tune pehele hi mana kar diya.

To tu NGO pe baccho se aisa vi bol sakti hain ki kuch din ke liye tu sirf unke sath rehena chahiti hain issiliye waha ja rahi hain. Ham ko vi kuch time mil jayega soch ne ke liye is problem se kaise nikalna hain" He said breaking the hug and taking her hand is his.

Shehnaaz looked at him with hope. She nodded her head.

Asim was really a good friend. He helped her getting some necessary stuff she needed to live there. He helped her as much he could those days.

She came back from her flash back when her phone rang.

It was Rita ji. She really love Shehnaaz. Shehnaaz can feel that in her motherly warm arms, in her concern voice on phone, in her worried face when she skips a meal. Shehnaaz had a smile seeing her name. She picked up.

"Ji Maa, boliye" she said

"Beta kya kar rahi hain? Busy to nehi?" she asked.

"Nehi Ma bolo. I'm free" she said.

"Wohh Mujhe kuch kapre chahiye, Nisha ki Saadi hain. Suman aunty jo do hafte pehele ghar pe aayi thin a, unki beti. Teri choice to bohut acchi hain to teri help chahiye beta" she said sweetness filled in every word she utter.

"Ha, jaroor. Kuch der main nikal ti hoon. Phone kar dungi main apko"

"Thik hain beta" Rita ji said and hang up the call.

Shehnaaz hated every bit of her marriage. The only thing she got from it is Rita ji. A mother, She couldn't have all her life.

They had fun together. They watched tv, had gossips, laugh. Still Sidharth ignoring every contact, every interaction with Shehnaaz.
