Chapter 67 NURTURING US

Sidharth was in a grumpy mood all of a sudden, leaving Mommies and Shehnaaz in shock. Riyaz parents didn’t notice the grumpiness but the other three knew him well enough to understand his behavior… The rest of the gang came in while these people were in mid of their lunch…
“Aap log kha lo, fir humlog baith jaenge..” said Umar and they agreed…. Once done with lunch, Shehnaaz smiled at everyone politely and then pulled Sidharth’s arm taking him into Asim’s room…
“Kya hua hai Bebu? Kyu aisa chid chidha raha hai?” She asked in a soft voice, while caressing his arm… He gave her a look and then looked away…. She understood that he was upset because the trip would be ending soon….
“Meri Jaan, mera Putthu.. Aise mayus Mat ho ja na.. Hamare pass Little Space hai, hum kabhi bhi holiday mana sakte hai na waha pe. Itna acha time gaya hai, aise muh chota kar lega to kaise chalega…” she cooed and he looked at her, he got lost in her eyes and her fingers brushed in his hair, massaging his scalp to relax his mind a bit and she succeeded..
“Sab acha hoga na wapas Jaake? Hum door nai hoenge na? Tu mere pass aise hi aaegi na hamesha..” He asked her as he wrapped his arms around her waist, pulling her closer to himself and she caressed his face softly, pressed her lips on his nose and smiled at him, “Mai tere pass hi to rahungi Bebu. Kaha jaungi. Mera dil tere pass hi ache se dhak dhak karta hai, tera chehra dekh ke ki meri subha achi hoti hai, tujhe sula ke hi mujhe sukoon wali neend aati hai.. To kya hua agar hum kaam me busy rahenge, ye ek moment subhe wala aur ek shaam wala mil jaega to hum din nikal lenge na Mera Baby.” He was stunned at her answer. No matter how low he would feel, she was the one who knew what to say and when to say and how to lift his mood up again… she was his driving force of love and positivity and everything that he ever needed or wanted..
“I love you, Shehnaaz!” he said and took her lips in his for a warm kiss.. She happily kissed him back, assuring him that no matter what, she will be with him always..
They walked out of the bedroom and sat with everyone while the rest of the ones finished their lunch…
“It was great living with you guys, thank you for giving us your sons and taking care of both our mom’s. It really means a lot and please, visit Bombay whenever you feel like taking a vacation from the mountains.. We will be happy to have you guys at our place..” said Sidharth to Riyaz Mommy and Daddy.
“Asim is with us, we will take care of him, you guys please don’t worry about him.. He is my little brother..” continued Sidharth and Riyaz parents couldn’t ask for more..
Everyone hugged each other and Mommies gave Riyaz Parents a gift as a Thank You and everyone left..
Umar came along to drop them at the Airport.. He was staying back with his parents and Everyone else were headed to Bombay…
“Chalo bhai, you take care of mom and dad. Let me know if you need anything from Bombay, okay?” said Asim as he hugged his brother before leaving..
Sidharth hugged him tight too, “Thank You for supporting my gadhi in your pranks.. It is good to know that she connected with you both so much.”
This man is a different kind of person, he was madly jealous with Umar when he didn’t know about the prank, but now he was being thankful for supporting his wife.. Well, that’s what Sidharth Shukla is.. For him, his girl’s happiness means way too much and he can go to any extent to make her happy..
Shehnaaz hugged Umar too and they all left.. Sidharth was observing Kabir all through the way and in the airport, ye didn’t let Naira or Rita Maa hold any of their bags.. He quickly got a trolley and put his and Naira’s bag in one and Rita Maa’s in another and dragged both together..
Sidharth had already asked for the airport faculty for the help with early check in and the authority to provide them with staff for carrying their stuff.. So, he went forward and held his hand, “Bache, it’s okay. The airport staff will carry our stuff.. I am proud of you and I am sorry for troubling you always.” Said Sidharth to Kabir making him extremely happy..
“oh Mamu! I am so happy today. I can’t tell you how much your words mean to me. I always wanted to impress you and tell you that I really love Naira and today I did it. Thank you for this Mamu.” Said an emotional Kabir and Sidharth pulled him in a hug.. “Bas bas, you did a great job and I had to compliment you for all your efforts.”
Shehnaaz, Rita Maa and Naira saw all this and the trio hugged each other.. Sidharth and Kabir saw that and they walked to them and they all group hugged each other..
“Abhi kyu emotional ho rahe ho aap sab. Relax na.” Said Sidharth as he rubbed Shehnaaz’s and Mom’s arm.. And then he hugged Naira…
Baaz, Quran and Mom were with each other while Asim and Roohi were also into each other…
They walked in and the airport faculty handed their bags and they completed the check in formalities and were waiting for their flight to board..
Mommy Gill and Mommy Shukla were with each other during this time, as Mommy Gill, Shehbaaz and Qiran were with them for a few hours only. Shehnaaz was with Baaz and Qiran while Sidharth was with Asim and Roohi..
They had a flight from Jammu to Delhi, then the Gills had a flight from Delhi to Chandigarh in a span of two hours and Shukla’s and Asim had to wait for four hours and then they had a flight from Delhi to Bombay…
“Amma ka dhyan rakhna.. Abhi itne time hum sab ke sath they to unko Yaad aaegi.. Kuch bhi lage to mujhe call kar lena. Laggi samjh? Aur tum dono ladna kam.. Aur ha, Bombay ruk ke aana.. Amma ko settle hone dena kuch din fir aana..” Said Shehnaaz who was fidgeting her fingers too much…
Sidharth looked at her from the corner of his eye and excused himself and walked to her.. He held her arms and made her stand.. “kya hua baby? Tu thik hai?” He asked and she looked at him with teary eyes..
“Mera bacha, kya hua? Ro kyu rahi hai darling?” he asked as he wiped her tears..
“Amma ka soch ke ro rahi hai..” said Baaz.. Sidharth thanked him for telling him and he dragged Shehnaaz to a corner..
“Baby, listen to me. First look at me.” He said as he lifted her chin up and she looked at him..
“Meri Jaan, maine aaj tak tujhe roka hai ghar walo se Baat karne ke liye? Ya unse milne ke liye?” he asked and she nodded.. She bent forward and hid her face in his chest.. He rubbed her back and kissed her forehead, “Meri Jaan, mom won’t be happy looking at you like this.. Agar tu aise mayus hoegi to wo Punjab wapas kaise jaenge? Tu unko tension dena chahti hai?” he asked and she nodded in disagreement again..
“To fir, please smile karte reh baby…” He said and wiped her tears again and she stopped crying.. He cleaned her face with a wet wipe and kissed her forehead. He took her to the seating area where both the mothers were sitting and he made Shehnaaz sit with her mom and he hugged his mom…
“Amma, dhyan rakhna apna aur sab ka.. Tension nai lena zara bhi.. Mai jald aaungi milne sab se..” said Shehnaaz with a small smile and hugged her mother.. Sidharth hugged his mom tighter knowing that his baby girl was sad and Mom rubbed Sidharth’s back to calm her son down…
