A knock on the door took sidharth's attention. Sidharth asked the person to come in shifting his attention back to the file on his desk.

"Sir, Mr. Shergill ne bulaya hai aapko conference room mai. Iss project ko discuss karne k liye meeting rakhi hai" manveer informed him standing by the door.

Nodding at him sidharth closed the file and got up from his seat. Keeping the file in the drawer sidharth walked towards the door where manveer was standing waiting to lead him to the conference room.

"Sir, I hope aapne project ki saari details padh li" manveer asked talking completely formal. He talked only about work and that too in utmost professional tone.

"Yeah, I have read all the details and i understood everything. Btw Manveer don't call me sir. You can call me by my name" sidharth told him politely and he could see how manveer's shoulders slumped down in relaxation.

"Okay Sir, i mean Sidharth" Manveer passed him a smile. He led sidharth towards the elevator who walked keeping his one hand in his pant pocket.

Entering inside the elevator manveer pressed the button 7 as they waited for the door to get closed. Silence prevailed as none uttered a word.

"This way, sidharth" manveer led him through the corridor. Sidharth was observing everything in his surroundings. The interiors of every floor spoke power and royalty which impressed him pretty much.

"This is our conference room. Mostly saari meetings issi room mai hoti hain" manveer told him familirising him with the necessary information.

"Mr. Shergill aa gye hain andar?" asked sidharth as they walked closer to the door. He didn't want to reveal about their relationship like this so he chose to talk professionally about rajbir ji.

"Haan, sir andar hi hain. Come" he pushed the door open and stood aside giving him way to enter first.

Sidharth nodded at him acknowledging his respect though he hasn't achieved anything yet to be respected the way he was being. He himself didn't know how much he deserved and he would get everything he deserves.

"Sidharth, come here" Rajbir ji called him with a smile as sidharth entered inside the room. It was a huge room with a big round table in the center with chairs. A big projector could be seen on one of the walls.

Walking towards Rajbir ji sidharth stood beside him. Scanning the area once sidharth found 6 men and 5 women sitting on the chairs around the table.

"Sidharth ko maine aap sab se morning mai hi introduce karwa diya tha. Abhi aap sab apni apni presentations present kar sakte hain and sidharth will decide which idea shall be selected. Then you can start with the project and sidharth will take all the necessary decisions regarding this project. I am not a part of this project but if needed i will help you guys. So shall we start?" rajbir ji received a yes sir from all the people sitting there.

"Come sidharth" rajbir ji led him towards the conference table. Rajbir ji took the head seat while sidharth set on his right side.

One of the employees stood up from his seat and walked towards the projector. The meeting continued as everyone presented their ideas one by one. The project was about the construction of a mall.

"Sidharth kiska idea tumhe best lga. Ussi idea ko implement kiya jayega. If you want, go through the presentations again" rajbir ji told him while everyone waited for his answer.

"Sir, All the ideas presented here are pretty interesting but I liked the idea presented by Mr. Chaudhari.  I believe unke idea par kaam karna chahiye...." sidharth kept on telling his point of view and how that idea could come up in the best way.

The way he talked with confidence and how he understood everything pretty well proved Rajbir ji right. A sense of proud was what rajbir ji felt seeing sidharth taking the lead of the project so effortlessly.

The points he put across impressed everyone present in the room while Mr. Chaudhari got a different perspective of his idea and was pretty impressed the way sidharth decorated some points of his presentation with his own understanding and knowledge.

"Very well sidharth. I agree to the every point you presented. So this is decided that the project will be started with Mr. Chaudhari's idea. The project shall be started by today itself" the meeting ended soon.

"Sidharth, mai Mr. Chaudhari ki presentation aapke cabin mai bhejta hun. After lunch fir dubara meeting hogi, usme Shergill sir nhi honge. Aap project ko lead karoge aur saari discussions ka end decision aap ki taraf se hoga" manveer informed him as they walked back to his cabin.

"Okay manveer, file mere cabin mai bhijwa dena aur lunch break kitne baje hoti hai?" asked sidharth as they entered the elevator.

"1 baje se 2:30 baje tak hoti hai. 6th floor par canteen hai agar aapko lunch wahan karna hai toh mai aapko le chalunga 1 baje nhi toh aap chaho toh aapke cabin mai lunch bhijwa dunga" sidharth nodded at him taking all the information about how things work there.

"Mai lunch ka tumhe baad mai inform kar dunga" sidharth ended the discussions as he received an okay from manveer.

"Aapne bilkul sahi suna, Maharashtra ka CM, sidharth raichand ko honour karna chahte hain. CM sahab ki statement sun sakte hain aap iss video mai jisme unhone saaf saaf kaha hai k vo Sidharth Raichand ko iss Friday yani 2 din baad unko sammanit karenge..." the reporter kept on talking about the details.

"I am so proud of you sidharth" standing beside him rajbir ji patted his back making him thank his father.

The news was playing on the big screen in the reception area as all the staff on the first floor stood there listening to the news. The respect for sidharth was increasing in the office on the first day itself.

"Okay everyone, now get to your work. come on" rajbir ji dismissed everyone as he realised that all the staff was busy in news leaving their work. He never appreciates neglegience towards work.

A while later sidharth was in his cabin along with manveer as they were working on the idea presented by Mr. Chaudhari.

"Yrr manveer, ye jo point hai na isme dikkat hai" sidharth interrupted manveer as he was reading some points from the presentation.

"bhai, mai samjh gya vo aapki baat. abhi iska solution batao kya ho sakta hai" manveer nodded his head in understanding as he put a mark on that point with a pencil.

Sidharth and manveer has bonded well in the few hours only. They have been working together since morning and have established a good understanding with each other.

The hesitation manveer had felt before about working with sidharth was all gone now. He has seen a completely different sidharth from what he had heard till now.

The formality was vanished from between them and now they were working in a more chill and friendly environment. Manveer was younger than sidharth and has started calling him brother.

Sidharth himself felt brotherly vibes from him and everyone manveer called him bhai, sidharth absolutely liked it.

"dekh iska solution ek hi hai..hum yahan par...." a knock on the door interrupted them making them turn their heads towards the door.

"come in" sidharth answered the call. The door opened and entered inside rajbir ji with a smile on his face.

"Pa...i mean Sir, please come in" sidharth stood up from his seat inviting rajbir ji inside. Closing the door behind rajbir ji went towards him.

"Good noon sir" manveer stood up from his seat in his respect. Rajbir ji nodded at him with a smile and took a seat in front of sidharth's seat.

"baith jao manveer. Sidharth mai batane aaya tha k hum lunch sath mai karenge. Manveer hum dono ka lunch mere cabin mai bhijwa dena aur tum bhi apna lunch karlo. time ho gya hai, baaki kaam baad mai kar lena" rajbir ji instructed him politely.

"Sure sir, abhi bhijwata hun"  manveer took his mobile from the desk and left nodding at sidharth.

"papa, mujhe aap se kuchh discuss karna tha. mai nhi chahta abhi kisi ko bhi pta chle mere aur shehnaaz k baare. Mujhe pehle khud ko prove karna hai. Apna ek naam banana hai aur iss baar achha naam. aap samjh rahe hain na meri baat?" asked sidharth as he set back on his seat.

"I know sidharth. mujhe sari duniya k samne tumhe apna beta maanne mai koi itraaz nhi hai par ye faisla maine completely tum par chhod diya hai. jab tum chahoge tabhi duniya ko tumhare aur shehnaaz k baare mai pta chalega. chinta mat karo, ye decision tum dono ka hoga" rajbir ji smiled putting him at ease.

"Thank you papa" this was all sidharth managed to say hearing rajbir ji's words. The way he has shown immense trust in sidharth, it always makes him emotional.

"chalo abhi lunch karte hain, aajao mere cabin mai" rajbir ji got up from his seat to go out.

"Hanji papa. bass 5 minute mai aata hun" sidharth too stood up from his seat. Nodding at him rajbir ji left the room closing the door behind.

Once sidharth was alone, he took out his mobile and dialed shehnaaz's number. He didn't get time to talk to her since morning.

"hanji sidharth" he heard her sweet voice from the other side as she received his call. A soft smile made its way on his lips listening to her voice.

The way she says hanji gives him vibes of typical wife and he absolutely loves it whenever she answers saying hanji.

"haan naaz, tum theek ho ? lunch kar liya ? free ho abhi ?" inquired sidharth making her chuckle on the other side.

"hanji sidharth. mai bilkul theek hun. lunch kar liya hai maine aur abhi bass 5 minute tak next shot hai. tum batao, pehla din kaisa jaa raha hai.   koi problem toh ni hui sidharth?" asked shehnaaz and with the last line he could hear how her tone changed from happy to worried.

"Don't worry baby. mujhe koi problem nhi hui yahan. sab achha jaa raha hai. tum bass apna khayal rakho aur next break mai juice pi lena. hum log aaj 6 baje tak free ho jayenge toh tumhe le k jayenge tabhi" they talked for a while more.

After ending the call sidharth put his mobile in his pant pocket. Closing the file he kept it in the drawer and moved towards the door.

"haan bhai samjh gya mai. morning tak aapke table par hoga sab" manveer said as they both stood in the elevator.

Rajbir ji has already reached in the parking lot as he had some work on the first floor so he went down earlier.

"thanks manveer. tu boht help kar raha hai meri" sidharth patted his back in appreciation making him smile.

"bhai, ye kaam hai mera aur aapko meri zyadan help ki zroorat padti hi nhi hai. aap sab kuchh khud hi samjh lete ho" manveer said already impressed with sidharth's sharp mind and his ability to make fast and wise decisions.

The elevator door opened and they both stepped out busy in chatting like long lost brothers. Their bond was adorable.

"chalo bhai, kal milte hain. bye take care" they did a quick brotherly hug and manveer went towards his car while sidharth walked towards his own where rajbir ji was already standing waiting for him.

"Sorry papa, aapko wait karna pada. mai late ho gya" apologized sidharth unlocking the car quickly.

"nhi puttar, tu late nhi hai. mai pehle aa gya tha. sorry wali koi baat ni hai" rajbir ji passed him a warm smile. Nodding sidharth set on the driver seat as rajbir ji took the passenger seat.

"kaisa lga aaj office mai sidharth?" asked his father as he took the highway.

"boht achha lga papa. Aapke employees boht hard working hain aur kaam karna bhi easy hai sab k sath. baaki aap ne khud hi mujhe koi problem aane nhi di" sidharth smiled.

"haan toh mera farz banta hai k mai dhayan rakhun k mere bete ko koi problem na aaye" rajbir ji's words made sidharth's grip tightened on the steering wheel.

His emotions could be seen in his wet eyes which he quickly pushed back getting a grip on himself.

They drove to shehnaaz's shooting location while discussing about the office and the project which sidharth would be managing. He took necessary advices from rajbir ji understanding things from his perspective too.

Sidharth pulled the breaks in front of her location. Taking out his mobile he called her and within two rings she answered his call.

"hanji sidharth, aagye tum bahr?" asked shehnaaz as she packed her things in hurry.

"haan naaz. hum bahr wait kar rahe hain. aajao aur aaram se pack karo saaman. tumhe chhod k nhi chale jayenge hum. yahin khade hain" sidharth said making rajbir ji chuckle and shehnaaz huff.

A while later shehnaaz came out along with arjun. Arjun opened the back door for her making her thank him as she set inside. Greeting sidharth and rajbir ji arjun went towards his own car.

"Sidharth news dekhi tumne ? am so happy for you. maine abhi thodi der pehle hi dekhi" her excitement could be felt in her voice and with that big smile on her face though her face looked tired.

"Thanks naaz" sidharth smiled seeing her happiness. She was happy for him and he was happy seeing her happy.

"kaisa gya din puttar?" rajbir ji asked lovingly to his daughter who now layed back on the seat.

"achha gya papa. bass mai na thak gyi boht" she sighed closing her eyes. Sidharth looked at her from rear view wanting to confirm that she was alright.

Making the eye contact with him from the mirror she passed him a big smile not wanting him to worry making him shift his gaze back to the road.

____________________________________

The washroom door opened and shehnaaz walked out in her silk sleeveless top and shorts. Walking tiredly towards the bed she layed on her back and closed her eyes.

A while later sidharth entered in the room and closed the door behind. He was with rajbir ji discussing something about office.

Coming closer to the bed with a glass of milk sidharth could see that she slept. Keeping the glass on the drawer he covered it with the lid and climbed on the bed on his side.

Laying beside her sidharth slowly slid into the blanket. Wrapping his arm around her from behind sidharth pulled her closer.

Keeping his one leg on both of hers he placed a kiss on her shoulder. Smiling in her sleep she turned towards him and snuggled into his chest.

With a soft smile on his lips sidharth admired her in silence. Pressing a kiss on her forehead he closed his eyes.

"shit, naaz ko dhudh dena tha" sidharth opened his eyes just within a minute. Getting up he set beside her debating in his mind if he should wake her up or not.

Seeing her sleeping so peacefully he didn't feel like waking her up. Sighing he laid back and took her in his arms again.

"Sidharthhhh...utho na... sidharth.." stirring in his sleep sidharth opened his eyes. He could hear his naaz's voice in his sleep.

Sitting beside him on the bed with the lights on, shehnaaz was sobbing like a kid. His sleep vanishes the moment he saw tears in her eyes.

"naaz what happened ? ro kyun rahi ho?" getting up sidharth set beside her pulling her in his arms. Her tears caused him instant worry.

"sidharthhh...gol gappe..." she sobbed clinging onto him as he made her sit in his lap. His hand rubbed her back up and down while a frown etched on his forehead listening to her words. Gol gappe ?

"naaz saaf saaf bolo kya baat hai aur pehle rona band karo baby. hmm" cupping her face sidharth wiped her tears giving feathery kisses on both her eyes.

"vo na...gol gappe khane hain mujhe. kab se utha rahi hun, tum uth hi ni rahe the toh meko rona aa gya" she looked at him with her wet eyes.

Her nose has turned red while her lips formed a cute pout. Sidharth chuckled listening to her and pecked her lips before taking her in his embrace again.

"naaz isme rone ki kya baat hai. gol gappe khane hain tumhe? khayenge par bahr se nhi. mai khud banaunga ghar mai hi" sidharth didn't want her to fall sick eating unhealthy food outside.

He would rather make everything himself for her at home than letting her eat outside. The health of both his babies was his responsibility.

"nhi bahr se hi khane hai mujhe, ek damm spicy wale. tumhe aate hain waise banane?" she asked him innocently making him want to eat this adorable baby sitting in his arms.

"haan baby, jaise tumhe pasand hain waise hi banaunga. abhi rona nhi hai dubara" kissing her forehead sidharth made her sit on the bed and himself got down the bed.

"mujhe bhi jana hai sath" she stood on her knees on the bed while raising her arms as sidharth wore his slippers. The way she was making puppy face to make him obey to her every demand was looking too cute.

"theek hai naaz, tum bhi chalo sath" sidharth extended his arms making shehnaaz jump into his embrace.

Holding her tight against his hip sidharth walked towards the wardrobe. Getting a shawl he made her wrap it around herself and then moved outside.

Climbing down the stairs in the middle of the night, sidharth made sure not to make any noise as he didn't want to disturb dadi or rajbir ji's sleep.

Passing through the living room sidharth went towards the kitchen. Entering inside he made her sit on the kitchen counter and took out his mobile.

"mobile ka kya karna hai sidharth, gol gappe khane hain...kab banenge" whined shehnaaz unable to control her craving.

"baby banaunga, thoda sa sabr karlo. recipe dekh lun mai ek baar fir sabse spicy wale bananuga tumhare liye baby" he coed her lovingly as he searched for the recipe.

Her every wish was his responsibility. He would complete her every wish.

"sidharthhhh idhr aao mere paas" shehnaaz opened her arms while a big smile was adorning her lips.

Chuckling sidharth moved closer to her standing in between her legs as she was sitting on the counter. Her shawl was now kept beside her and she has spoiled her clothes while eating gol gappas.

Sidharth let her eat the way she wanted. He just admired his baby standing in front of her capturing these moments with his eyes and storing them in his heart.

"sidharth tumne itne tasty gol gappe banaye. Itne spicy, yummy. tumhe meri taraf se India k...nhi world k best cook ka award milta hai" she clapped her hands like a kid on her own speech making him laugh.

He felt happy that he could satisfy her cravings. The smile on her lips as she ate those water bolls, that brought a constant smile on his lips too.

"abhi chalein room mai?" leaning his face in her neck sidharth pressed soft kisses on her skin. His hand snaked around her waist as he pulled the strap of her nighty down giving wet kisses on her shoulder.

"sidharth hum kitchen mai hain" she breathed slowly feeling his touch. The food was already forgotten and now all she could think and feel was his touch.

"hmmm" he just hummed in response while sucking the soft skin of her neck. Seconds before he himself had asked to go back to room and now he didn't want to move away from her even for a second.

"morning mai kya hua tha yaad hai na ? papa aa gye yahan toh?" she tried to make him understand and it worked. Her words made him realise how embarassing it could be if their father walked onto them in such compromising position.

"naaz, i feel like eating you out right now" the huskiness in his voice made her shiver in his hold as sidharth held her in his arms and walked out of the kitchen holding her shawl in one hand.

"sidharth, mujhe sharam aa rahi hai tumse" she whispered as they climbed up the stairs. Sidharth looked down at her face and her red cheeks made him chuckle.

"sharam aa rahi hai ? morning bhul gyi baby? haan? yaad dilaun ?" sidharth teased her as they entered their room.

Closing the door sidharth moved inside with her hiding her face in his neck. The naaz in the morning and this naaz, they were totally different which made him realise how fast her mood changes in pregnancy.

Pushing her softly on the bed sidharth climbed on the bed. She layed on the mattress on her back while sidharth parted her legs and made space for him.

Laying between her legs he slid her shirt up revealing the bare skin of her stomach. Her gaze was fixed on him as she observed his every move.

"hi baby" sidharth whispered placing a soft kiss on her stomach. A smile made its way on her face while her eyes felt getting moist.

This was the first time sidharth talked to the baby. He would often give kisses on her stomach and caress her belly in nights but never ever he talked to the baby.

"I am your dad. I don't know if you are a boy or a girl but i wish that you are my little princess there" he spoke giving another kiss on her stomach.

"Sidharth" her hand moved in his hair as she looked at him. His eyes shifted from her stomach to her face making them have a strong eye contact.

Again this was the first time that he expressed his wish to have a daughter. All this was making her emotional thinking how far they have come together.

From him kidnapping her to them having a baby together, they seriously have come a long way. This journey was not easy though but their togetherness made it beautiful.

"naaz, I can't wait to hold our baby in my arms. Humara baby naaz. I so wish k vo meri princess ho" expressed sidharth with a big smile on jis face while she could see how his eyes brimmed with tears as he said "humara baby".

"sidharth, mere paas aao" she opened her arms for him calling him as if he was a little baby. Sidharth obayed her instantly and dragged himself a little up keeping his chin on her curves as he looked into her eyes with his vision getting blur.

"mera chhotu baby ro raha hai..hmm? ye toh mera kaam hai" cupping his face she wiped his tears and pulled her head a little up kissing his both eyes one by one.

"naaz ye jo feeling hai na, i can't express. kuchh months baad humare hathon mai ek chhota sa baby hoga naaz, humara baby" he sobbed like a kid while his voice cracked as his emotions overwhelmed him.

"haan sidharth, humara baby aayega. hum dono mil k usse boht pyaar karenge. haina ?" her own tears fell down her eyes as she attached her forehead with his shedding happy tears.

"boht sara, boht zyadan pyaar denge hum. Naaz,    mujhe duniya ka best father banna hai mere bache k liye. mai banunga sabse achha dad?" the inner with which he asked her made her feel choked on her breathe.

How much he has craved love all his life that he wanted to give all the love to his child. Her heart warmed thinking how much he has in his heart despite all the things he had to face in his childhood.

"pkka, tum duniya k best father banoge. I know, I know sidharth" wiping his tears she pulled his face closer and took his lips in her own sucking them together.

She poured all her love for her man in that kiss wanting to take away his insecurities, all his pain and just shower him with love.
