It was the day after the lohri celebrations. Nothing has still changed between them. After the Lohri celebration, Raunak was staying with them. Insecurities and misunderstanding were still covering up their minds. Shehnaz was suffering from severe mood swings nowadays, She was getting irritated on petty petty things. But never in these week, she has ever busted upon Raunak. She has always cradled Raunak with utmost love and care. While, on the other hand Sidharth was misinterpreting her and each and every actions. It was Morning, Sidharth was working on his laptop after taking a relaxing shower, but by mistake he kept the towel on the bed. Shehnaz came inside the room and saw the wet towel lying on the Bed making the bed soaking wet. It kind of irked her. She quickly went and picked it up. While Sidharth just looked at her confused.

Sa- Sidharth What is this?

Sid- What! Towel hain!

Sa- Sidharth am not Fuckin' Joking!!! Why is this on the bed? Bloody Idiot don't you know how to keep a Towel!(Scoffed and yelled)

Sid- Sana! Its just a Towel that is lying on the bed!

Sa- No Sidharth!

Saying so, She stormed out of the Room. Here Sidharth again Started taking all these in a Other way. Now, Her this attitude was irking Sidharth to no End. Since their Marriage, Sidharth has always tried to made her Comfortable but the more Sidharth was thinking to take this Relationship Ahead. The more She seemed to be backing off. The Hugs were supposed to be normal right? Even the Friends sleep hugging eachother, Even they hug eachother on their lowest point. Hugs are not the Sensuous step at all, Moreover Hugs are a way of conveying the other person is , 'Its Okay! Am With you'. But that night he didn't approached, It was her who slept sobbing on his chest. On the other hand, Shehnaz was hell Irritated as she was down this month. Well, It was just the Mood Swings! Which eventually every girl goes through during these days. Some faces severe Mood Swings where some maybe just a little bit.The cherry on the top was her Cramps, that was making her cry sometimes. Yet She chose to Handle Everything Alone. As When Puberty hit her for the First time, No one was there to teach her the Do's and Dont's. It was her Governer who taught her to tackle these situation. The Governer being a Lady of Old-school taught her to keep these matter to herself only. As for her , those seven lettered words were quite shameful. Shehnaz who was raised like that chose to follow what she has been taught and She didn't tell anybody of her being down.

Moreover the moment she scolded Sidharth for keeping the wet Towel on the bed, She expected Sidharth to come and hug her. Calming her down, well yes, She expected pretty much. Sidharth's coldness were enough to break all her expectations and to drop her on their harsh reality. These thoughts were making her hurt Also the Cramps were no less, Gropping her Belly She went to her Study and gave a loud sob and slept surviving the pain. While Sidharth who was puffing taking out his restlessness, he was fed up and drained out playing the Good Husband card all the fucking time and gaining nothing from his own wife. He didn't wanted those intimate moments right then but what he wanted was to have someone with whom he can share his emotional baggages. Who would assure him that He can out show his flaws too without any hesitation. He was fagging when a Servent entered his room and called him for the Dinner. He just nodded , crushing the cigarette butt. Shehnaz was sleeping when Meera ji entered and woke her up. Shehnaz yawned covering her mouth, The Unbearable Pain of the Cramps seemed to be normalised and was quite bearable. She asked Meera Ji.

Sa- Daadi! Raunak ne Dinner kiya? (concerned)

Meera- Nahi ! Maine Kitni Baar bola ki Dinner karne ko But He was way too Adamant about being fed by his Dearest Chachi!

Shehnaz smiled hearing about the little kid. Since the day of her Arrival in the Nagarkars, Raunak became so dear to Shehnaz. Raunak too always used to stay with his Chachi! Moreover he often said that 'Chachi is my Bestfriend' , which always bloomed Shehnaz's heart with love and Joy. He was Shehnaz's Happy Pill. Her Little bundle of Joy. Seeing both of them Sidharth too was Happy. As he has always wished for a girl who will Adapt his namesake family just the way he did. Also, After Gargee's Death, He was scared that what if his future wife doesn't care for the Nagarkars.

Meera ji- Bohut Pyaara Baccha hain! Mujhe toh Yekin Nahi Hota ki Kaise Koi Insaan Aise Phool jaise Bacche ko Chod ke Jaa Sakti hain...

Sa- Hmm...Bohut Pyaara Baccha hain!

Meera- Hayee Tujhse Kitna Pyaar karta hain...Kabhi bhi nahi dekha ki Koi Chachi ko Itna Pyaar karta hain...

Sa- Haan toh Daadi Woh bhi toh mere Bete jaisa hi hain! Aur Mujhe Pata hain ki Maa ki Kami Kya hoti hain...Toh Main Kabhi nahi Chahungi ki Raunak ko Kabhi Woh Kami Lage... Haan yeh bhi hain ki Kabhi koi ek Maa ki Jagah fulfill nahi kar pata! But Try toh kar sakte hain na?Aur Log Kehte hain Chachi Mother figure hote hain... Toh kya ek Chachi, Ek Maa Jaisa Pyaar nahi de Sakti?

Meera- De Sakti hain Baccha! (Pecked her forehead)

Sa- Accha chaliye Main Raunak ko Khana Khila doon!

Saying this Both of them descended to the Hallways. A genuine grin appeared on her face, Seeing her bundle of joy laughing and playing with Raveen ji. Raunak who was playing saw Shehnaz standing there and adoring him. He quickly ran to Shehnaz and hugged her stomach and kissed her stomach. Shehnaz was baffled with his this action. She just took him in her arms and made him sit on the dining table, She was about to move for bringing the dinner when Raunak held her finger with his little ones and asked her to sit down. Seeing his stern yet cute face she sat down on the chair.

Sa- Kya huwa Baccha? Why you stopped me?

Rau- Chachi! Aap toh meri Bestfriend hain na? ( Cute voice)

Sa- Haan!

Rau- Toh...Aap..Aapne Mujhe kyu ni Bola ki You are unwell! Ki Aapke Tummy mein Pain hain! Main toh ek scratch pe hi aap ke paas rote rote aati hoon! (cute voice)

Shehnaz was taken aback, how could this little child got to know about her pain, when she managed to hid it from the elders. a thick layer of tears formed in her eyes, she pressed her lips and held back her tears. But a lone tear rolled of her eyes when Raunak noticed that wiped her eyes. Raunak slapped his own Forehead and said in an adorable way making all of them laugh.

Rau- Ohooo! Chachiii! Aap hi meko bolti ho ki If you always cry then your friends will call you a Rotlu!

Shehnaz nodded and smiled kissing that little palm of Raunak's.

Rau- Haan then! Aap Chahte ho ki Rukhsar Aunt, Bua and Mohit Mamu aapko rotlu bulaye!

Shehnaz nodded in no laughing. She kissed his cheeks and Forehead. That's when, his food arrived and she fed him. All of this was noticed by Sidharth, who was smiling, seeing the Duo. After Feeding him, Raunak went to Play. It was the time when the Elders were having their Dinner. One Servent was about to place Shehnaz's plate Infront of her, that's when she denied. This made Sidharth, Irritated to the power of Infinity yet he chose to keep quiet Infront of the Elders.

Sid- Shehnaz Please Thora sa Khaa Lo!

Sa- Umm...Am ...Am not Hungry!

Sid- Still ! Eat Something. Atleast one Chapati!

Hearing Sidharth's stern tone, Shehnaz didn't say anything and nodded her head. Raveen smiled Seeing Sidharth's concern. He could finally take a relief that he has handed over his daughter to a responsible and Sensible Guy. After the Dinner, Shehnaz was in the Kitchen filling up the Water bottle for their Room. Everyone has gone to their room, except Sidharth. He knew that where Shehnaz could be so he just went to the Kitchen and called her, while she was not at all looking at him.

Sid- Shehnaz!

Sa- Hmm?

Sid- WE NEED TO TALK!!

He was stern enough, to make Shehnaz think. A fear was building up Within her, Her Heartbeat was increasing. Her Adam's Apple was throbbing out of nervousness and fear. She was Scared! But For What!?
