Next morning, Shehnaaz's sleep broke by the sunrays coming inside the room. She woke up and looked towards the window. The weather was sunny and birds were chirping. After a long time, she was feeling this much good. Even in her own house she didn't feel like this. She felt that all her fear went away all of a sudden. She was now prepared to face everything.

Getting freshen, Shehnaaz came to her wardrobe. She looked at the dresses, Sidharth sent for her.

"Uss Devil khud toh kaise ajeeb kaale kaale kapre pehen ta hai. Par mere liye acche colourful dresses bheje hai. Kamal hai!"

Saying that, Shehnaaz picked one dress and got ready in it. Then she came in front of the mirror and took a deep breath.

"Bohut ho gaya Shehnaaz. Ab apne andar ke darr ko khatam karna hoga. Jab yeh hi teri kismat hai toh iss hi mein jeena shikh le. Aur ho sake toh khush rehna bhi."

Saying that, she put a beautiful smile on her face and left her room.

Sidharth, Kushal and Nawaz Bhai were having breakfast while others were waiting for them to finish as they would have breakfast after them.

Soon Shehnaaz came downstairs and everyone's eyes fell on her.

Shehnaaz's look 👇🏻 👇🏻

Sidharth's mouth was left open seeing her in that dress as she was looking too pretty in it. She came to towards their table and said smiling, "Good morning!"

They looked at each other being confused as their was no fear on her face. She was looking happy and confident.

"Madam, aap yaaha? Hum bas aap ka nasta leke hi jaa rahe the." Said a servant coming to her with a plate of food.

"Kyu? Main yaaha sabke saath khana nahi khaa sakti? Aisa koi rule hai kya Sidharth?" Asked Shehnaaz looking at Sidharth to which he slightly nodded in no.

"Phir toh sahi hai. Main yaheen baith ke breakfast kar leti hoon."

Saying that, Shehnaaz took the plate from the servant's hands and sat on a chair. She grabbed an apple and took a bite while others kept looking at her being puzzled.

"Accha suniye, main jab yaaha permanently rehne hi wali hoon toh behtar hai ki main aap sab ko thoda bohut jaan loon. Mr. Devil, agar tumhe koi problem nahi hai toh hum apna introduction kar le?"

Sidharth just hummed and continued having his breakfast.

"Hello everyone, mera naam Shehnaaz hai jo ki sab ko already paata hai. Yeh hua mera introduction, ab aap ki baari." Saying that, Shehnaaz looked at Sidharth's four men and asked, "Oo Devil ke bewakoof changu manguon, naam kya hai aap sabka?"

They looked at Sidharth.

"Udhar kya dekh rahe ho? Maine pucha hai, mujhse baat karo." She said loudly dragging their attention.

They nodded and started telling their names.

"Viren."

"Salim."

"Ashish."

"Rizwan."

Shehnaaz recalled their names in her mind and then said, "Ok yaad kar liya. Ab aap baatao, dukhihari bhaiya."

Shehnaaz looked at Kushal making him frown.

"Dukhihari Bhaiya?" He asked with disbelief.

"Sahi toh kaha. Humesha iske saath saath rehte ho aur iske saare orders follow karte ho, chahe mann ho yaa naa ho. Chehra dekh ke hi paata chalta hai andar kitna dukh bhara hua hai."

"Zindagi mein pehli baar koi mere dukh ko samjha hai." Said Kushal making an emotional face while Sidharth nodded in disbelief seeing his drama.

"By the way, mera naam Kushal hai." He said further.

"Kushal Bhai! Yeh sahi hai." Said Shehnaaz smiling. "Aur Muqambo Uncle, aap ka naam?"

Shehnaaz looked at Nawaz Bhai to which Sidharth started coughing while his men laughed silently hearing that.

"Muqambo?" Asked Nawaz Bhai controlling himself.

"Muqambo jach nahi raha na? Kyu ki woh bhi kabhi kabhi khush ho jaate the. Par aap toh kabhi bhi khush nahi hote. Lagta hai saalon ka khunnas jama hai aap ke andar. Aap ke liye koi aur naam dhund na padega jaise ki....."

"Nawaz Bhai." Said Sidharth suddenly handling the situation. "Hum sab inko Nawaz Bhai bulate hai. Tum bhi woh hi bulana. Ab introduction khatam hogayi ho toh khana kha lo."

"Khaati hoon....Akdu."

Shehnaaz said the last word in a low voice and started having breakfast.

"Waise maan na padega Bhai. Kya sahi pechana Shehnaaz ne sabko." Whispered Kushal to Sidharth.

"Shut up!" Whispered Sidharth glaring him.

After having breakfast, Sidharth went to his room and came out after sometime getting ready in his as usual black clothes.

Sidharth's look 👇🏻 👇🏻

He came downstairs when Kushal joined him.

"Kushal let's go. We don't have much time." Said Sidharth while leaving.

"Tum log kahi jaa rahe ho?" Asked Shehnaaz coming to them.

"Haan ek business trip hai, teen din ka. Main, Kushal aur Nawaz Bhai jaa rahe hai. Tujhe koi zaroorat ho toh unn chaaron ko baata dena, they will take care."

Shehnaaz frowned hearing that and said, "Phir se buisness trip? Abhi kaal hi toh bahar gaye the? Accha tum ghar pe rehte bhi ho yaa nahi?"

"Kyu? Tu chahti hai main na jaau?" Asked Sidharth smirking.

"Maine aisa kab kaha? Main toh.... Kushal Bhai ke liye bol rahi thi. Tum unka chehra dekho. Aankhon ke neeche kaale kaale gaddhe aa gaye hai. Kitna kaam karwate ho tum bechare se."

Kushal was nodding his head dramatically agreeing with her but stopped when Sidharth looked at him.

He then turned to Shehnaaz and said, "Humein abhi jaana hai, thik hai? Jab tak hum nahi aate, tu acche se rehna aur bhagne ki koshish bilkool mat karna."

"Woh toh main kar hi sakti hoon. Aur tumhare inn bewakoofon ki toli ko chakma dena koi badi baat nahi hai. Agar tum chahte ho ki main na bhagu toh tumhe yaaha reh ke mere upar nazar......"

"Bye Shehnaaz, take care!" Said Sidharth not letting her finish and left the mansion with Kushal and Nawaz Bhai.

"Sach mein chala gaya? Ab pure 3 din mujhe iss qaid khane mein akele rehna hoga? Sidharth hota toh usko irritate karke time pass kar leti. Ab akele akele kya karu? Kaha fas gayi yaar!" Thought Shehnaaz making a sad pout.

Later that day...

Shehnaaz came to the living area and saw Sidharth's men playing cards. They were much free as Sidharth was not there. Suddenly an idea came to Shehnaaz's mind.

"Wah, apne boss ke jaate hi patte khelna chalu? Like aur koi kaam hi nahi hai. Mujhe toh laga tha tum log sirf bewakoofon ki toli ho, par tum toh alsi bhi ho. Sidharth ko baatana padega yeh sab." She said and they immediately stood up hearing that.

"A..aisa nahi hai Madam. Aap ko koi kaam hai? Aap boliye hum abhi kar denge." Said Viren to which others nodded.

"Kaam toh main baataungi. Pehle aap log yeh baatao, main kaun hoon?"

They became confused hearing Shehnaaz's question.

"Aap.... Shehnaaz Madam ho." Replied Rizwan.

"Haan lekin main aap sab ki kya lagti hoon? Kuch toh lagti hungi jis wajah se mujhe yaaha utha ke laaya gaya hai."

"Ummm... Aap humare Boss ki hone wali biwi ho." Said Ashish.

"Hone wali biwi? Nice. Aap logo ki shaadi hui hai?"

They nodded in no.

Shehnaaz sighed and said, "Phir toh aap ko nahi paata hoga Pati patni mein se ghar mein kiski zyada chalti hai."

"Yeh kya keh rahi hai Madam? Hum bhale hi shaadi suda nahi par humein paata hai, ghar mein biwiyon ki zyada chalti hai." Said Salim.

"Arrey wah! Phir iss ghar mein kis ki zyada chalni chahiye?"

They thought for a while and said together, "Aap ki."

"Matlab ab se iss ghar ki malkin kaun hui?"

"Aap."

"Toh aap log kiski baat zyada maanoge?"

"Aap k...."

They suddenly stopped while Shehnaaz gave a victorious smile.

"Then it's decided. Aaj se aap log Sidharth ki baat kam aur meri baat zyada maanoge." She said.

They thought that now Shehnaaz would order them to let her leave.

"Hum aap ki baat maanenge lekin sirf iss ghar ke andar. Aap ne bhagne ki koshish kiyi toh humein aap ko pakadna hi hoga." Said Viren and others smiled seeing his intelligence.

Shehnaaz gave a fake smile and said, "Jitna bewakoof samajhti thi uss se thode kam bewakoof nikle aap log. Fikar mat ki jiye, main bhag nahi rahi. Lekin ab se main jo bhi orders dungi woh aap log follow karoge. Filhaal kuch kaam hai jo aap logo ko karna hoga, woh bhi Sidharth ke aane se pehle."

"Kya kaam hai?" They asked together.

Shehnaaz told and made them understand their work. At first they were scared to do it but they couldn't disobey their boss's to be wife. So they finally agreed.

"Ab waqt aa gaya hai, iss qaid khane ko sahi maine mein ghar bana ne ka." Thought Shehnaaz and smiled.

Three days later...

Sidharth, Kushal and Nawaz Bhai came back from their business trip. As soon as they stepped into the mansion, they became shocked. The mansion was looking more bright and shiny. It was not the same place where they used to live.

"Hum galti se kisi aur ke ghar mein aa gaye. We should leave." Said Kushal.

"Kaha jaa raha hai? Yeh apna hi ghar hai." Said Nawaz Bhai stopping him.

"Yeh? Apna ghar? Kaise? Woh toh thoda haunted house type hua karta tha." Said Kushal making a confused face.

But Sidharth knew very well who was behind this.

"Woh awaz suna tum logo ne?" Asked Sidharth suddenly and they all heard the sound coming from a corner.

They started following the direction of the sound and stopped after sometime. And they couldn't believe, what they saw.

There was a small temple of Shri Ram in the mansion where Shehnaaz was doing morning prayer and his men and other servants were praying. Their clothes were also changed and they were looking different.

"Yeh sab kya ho raha hai?" Asked Sidharth being shocked.

Shehnaaz looked at him and said, "Aap sab aa gaye? Rukiye main Prasad deti hoon sab ko."

Saying that, Shehnaaz finished her morning prayer and gave prasad to everyone.

"What is this Shehnaaz?" Asked Sidharth sternly.

"Mandir hai. Maine inn se kaha Raghuveer ka ek Mandir banwa do ghar mein aur inhone banwa diya." Said Shehnaaz pointing towards his men.

Sidharth looked at them angrily when they said, "Malkin ka order tha, hum kya karte?"

"Malkin?" Asked Sidharth raising his eyebrows.

"Waise tumhe toh khush hona chahiye. Woh ghar hi kya jaha ek Mandir na ho?" Said Shehnaaz further.

"Mujhe Mandir se koi problem nahi hai." Said Sidharth calmly. "Baki jo kuch badal gaya hai, uss se problem hai."

"Kya badal gaya hai? Sirf paint hi toh karwaya hai. Sundar lag raha hai dekho. Pehle sab kuch kitna kaala kaala tha. Banda ekdin rahe na toh yaa toh darr se marr jaaye yaa phir depression mein chala jaaye. Ab mujhe yaaha rehna hai isliye maine isko apne hisaab se change karwa liya. Aur saare rooms ko bhi paint karwa ke sundar banwa diya hai, including mine."

"Rooms?" Asked Sidharth and immediately widened his eyes. "Oh shit!"

Sidharth ran towards his room while Shehnaaz and others followed him.

As soon as Sidharth entered his room, he got another shock. The dark aesthetic of his room was not there anymore. The walls were painted white and also it was looking brighter.

"What the hell!" He shouted and Shehnaaz giggled seeing his reaction.

"Hell toh pehle lagta tha. Abhi heaven lag raha hai." She said.

"Are you crazy?" He asked angrily. "Room ka dark aesthetic mera favourite tha."

"Tabhi toh itni daravni vibes aati thi. Tumhare room se bhi aur tumse bhi. Abhi acche room mein rahoge na toh dheere dheere tumse bhi acchi vibes aane lagegi."

"Iss mein bhi tum logo ne iski madad kiyi?" Asked Sidharth looking at his men.

"Malkin ne bola." They again said to which he sighed. He couldn't understand how to react.

"Mujhe toh sab kuch bada accha lag raha hai." Said Kushal looking at the room.

"Abhi khatam nahi hua hai. Aur bhi kuch baki hai. Viren Bhai, woh bags laana zara."

Viren nodded and left from there. After sometime he came back with few bags of clothes.

Shehnaaz gave the bags to Sidharth, Kushal and Nawaz Bhai.

"Iss mein hai aap logo ke naye kapde. Bohut pehen liya yeh don jaise kapde. Aaj se aap log yeh pehnoge." Said Shehnaaz.

Sidharth looked at the clothes and said sternly, "Listen Shehnaaz main kya pehnunga yeh tum nahi decide kar sakti. I'm not going wear this."

Shehnaaz frowned and said, "Kyu nahi decide kar sakti? Tum decide kar sakte ho ki main kya pehnungi toh tumhara main kyu nahi decide kar sakti? Meri choice kharab nahi hai."

"Kharab nahi mind blowing hai." Said Kushal seeing his shirts. "Mujhe toh yaad hi nahi maine last kab aise colourful shirts pehne the. Black and white pehen ne ki itni buri adat ho gayi thi. Sach mein Shehnaaz, you are the great. Love you yaar!"

As soon as Kushal said this, he got a death glare from Sidharth and gulped his saliva.

"I mean love you as a sister, obviously." He said further correcting himself.

Shehnaaz smiled cutely hearing 'sister' from him.

Then she looked at Nawaz Bhai and asked, "Aap ko kaisa laga Nawaz Bhai?"

"Accha hai." Replied Nawaz Bhai maintaining his poker face.

"All right. Jab majority ko yeh pasand hai toh ab se sab yeh hi pehenenge." Said Shehnaaz. "Aur kyu ki mujhe yaaha pe rehna padh raha hai isliye maine apne kuch naye rules bhi banaye hai. Pehla, aaj se roj subah uth ke sab pehle Mandir mein aayenge aur prayer karenge. Uske baad sab saath mein breakfast karenge. Koi pehle, koi baad mein aisa nahi hoga. Koi kisi se dara dhamka ke baat nahi karega. Agar kuch karwana hai toh pyaar se karwana hoga, pressure daalna allowed nahi hai. Aur........"

"ENOUGH!" Shouted Sidharth making everyone scared including Shehnaaz.

"Bohut bana liye naye rules. Ab ek rule main bhi baata ta hoon..... Nahi..... Dikha deta hoon. Chalo!"

Saying that, Sidharth held Shehnaaz's wrist and dragged her making everyone shocked and worried. They started going behind them.

"Kaha le jaa rahe ho mujhe? Chhoro!" Said Shehnaaz trying to free her hand but failed.

"Sidharth aisa mat kar, jaane de na." Said Kushal trying to stop him.

Sidharth didn't listen to anyone and took Shehnaaz towards a closed room. Her eyes widened seeing it.

"Yeh torture room hai na? Tum mujhe torture karne wale ho?" She asked getting scared. "Sidharth main toh bas thodi masti kar rahi thi, tumhe irritate karne ke liye. Mandir ko chhor ke tum baki sab kuch pehle jaisa kar sakte ho koi problem nahi hai. Aur tumhe koi rules follow karne ki bhi zaroorat nahi hai. Meri baaton ko kya hi seriously lena? Mujhe chhor do please."

Still Sidharth remained indifferent and made Shehnaaz stand in front of a scanner which scanned her face and the door of the room immediately opened.

Sidharth entered the room with Shehnaaz and the door got closed again while others kept standing behind having no idea of what was inside the room.
