Vaish- this is a mess, complete fucking mess!

Vaish groaned pacing back and forth. Abhi was also having jittery expressions. But on the contrary, Sid was looking completely chill and was busy in swilling his soft drink.

Abhi- I think she still don't know about their marriage

Abhi avowed, he was continuously tapping his foot on the ground.

Sid- mujhe bhi aisa hi lagta hai nahi to wo mujhe andar aane se pahle hi bahar fekwa deti
(I feel the same way otherwise she would have thrown me out before coming in.)

He joked with the intention to light up their mood but it backfired and AbhiNavi shot a glare at him.

AbhiNavi- shut up

Both bawled in monotone and it made Sid gulp in fear.

Sid- wohh! Couple goals.

He adduced in endeavour to divert the topic with a nervous chuckle.

AbhiNavi- we said S-H-U-T U-P

They again flared on Sid while separating their every word and Sid literally jumped on his seat. Abhinavi passed a contagious look at Sid and he motioned to zip his mouth. The couple again got themselves busy in contemplating about what to do next. Sid took it as a cue and discreetly sneaked from there.

Sid- shukra hai bhagwan ka! Jaan chhooti.
(thank god! I got saved.)

He muttered and released a breath of sigh and made himself comfortable on the chair.

Sid- this place is perfect

He stated while scanning the surrounding. It was at corner side of the party hall where almost no guest was around. He clicked his neck and again took a sip of his cold drink.

'How many more glasses are you planning to drink ?' a familiar voice approached and his head snapped in the direction of that voice.
He wiggled his eyebrows on that comment and said

Sid- can't Mrs. Ahuja even afford to serve few glasses of cold drinks to her guests ?

His lips was decorated with a fake sugar coated smile and grudge was dripping from his accent of speaking.

Avu- idiot, tumhara gala kharab ho jaega.
(idiot, you will get sore throat.)

She squinted her eyes in annoyance but her words were laced with concern. He got silent for a second and stared at her petite figure, his heart felt a sudden relief seeing her concern for him. She patted on the table when she noticed him lost in trance.

Sid- ohh! Umm!! you can sit dear wifey or don't tell me you're scared of Mrs. Ahuja.

He retorted with a dramatic expressions and she somehow stifle her urge to roll her eyes.

Avu- wo meri Nani hai and I respect her, iska matlab ye nahi hai ki mai unse darti hoon. Wo koi bhoot ya raakshas thode n hai.
(she is my grandmother and I respect her, that doesnt mean I am scared of her. She isn't any ghost or any fiend.)

She said and shooked her head.

Sid- but I doubt

Sid mumbled to himself which went unheard by her.

Sid- par ek minute ruko jara, wo achanak se tumhari Nani kaise ban gai ?
(but wait a minute, how suddenly she became to be your grandmother ?)

He yelped pouring out the dilemma of his brain.

Avu- mujhe khud aaj hi pata chala hai.
(I just found out today.)

She sighed heavily and sat on the opposite chair of his.

Avu- I came on the given address by Ashi then I got to know the whole thing that she is my Nani(grandmother).

Sid's lips curved into O shape after listening all this. But all of a sudden something clicked in his mind and he turned towards Avu with a rush.

Sid- that means she knew that Mrs. Ahuja is your grandmother ?

He questioned with a snap and Avu nodded.

Sid- that girl.

He slightly groaned and Avu was getting confused by his reaction.

Sid- when I was talking to dada about Mrs. Ahuja, she was also there. She could have told me all this.

He pulled his hairs in his imagination as he couldn't afford to ruin his hairstyle.

Avu pov
Ashi did not even tell me about this even after knowing his side. Ugh! She did it so that she could tease me next day. What shall I do of this little sister of mine ?

Avu- umm she wanted to surprise me.

She defended and Sid cursed his fate. What else can he even do ?

Sid- but I am still confused about the thing that Mrs. Ahuja, she.. she is your Nani(grandmother), I mean how ?

His mind was so messed up from confusion and also from the sudden insecurity he started feeling. He never cared to be in good terms with Sheetal. Earlier he was really an insolent guy but still he knew his limits. Later, he never tried to fix his terms with Sheetal as he never thought it to be important.

Avu- look, you know everything about my past right ?

Sid just nodded and signalled her to continue.

Avu- so when Nanu(grandfather) and Nani(grandmother) get to know about mumma's pregnancy they were worried for her like every parent and moreover she was just a teenager of eighteen but still they were supporting her. But later when mumma told them about her idea of marrying papa, they strictly denied as..

But before she could proceed Sid interrupted in between.

Sid- unhone mana kyun kiya ?
(why did they refuse ?)

Avu- as he was already married with Ashi's mom, Ayesha Singh.

She said in a low tone, she felt lump forming in between her throat. Sid understood the situation and squeezed her hands which was above the table.

Avu- but mumma trusted papa as they were bestfriends and that's why she eloped with him.

Tears filled in her eyes and she would have broke down he wasn't there. He was continuously rubbing his thumb over her knuckles and that really calmed her.

Avu- that's how she lost contact with her family. Later when our lives took a turn, she didn't had the courage to return back. Nanu(grandfather) Nani(grandmother) didn't had another child and they were left alone after mumma leave.

Finally tears rolled out of her eyes making their ways down from her cheek. She lifted her eyelashes which were drampen and heavy due to tears. He smiled in assurance and this wasn't just a normal one, it made her feel assure that he is there to be with her.

Avu- Nanu(grandfather) couldn't bear all this for longer and he started stressing himself and later he passed away. Nani(grandmother) was left in loneliness and all the weight of business was now on her shoulders. As it was build by the hard work of Nanu(grandfather), she worked hard to take it on higher levels.

She lifted her hands to wipe the tears away but before that another hand did it. His palms were rough but the touch was gentle as feather. It blossomed a small smile on her lips.

Avu- as years passed, the bitterness and hatred for Papa kept on increasing in Nani's heart. When she was telling me all this I felt so bad for her, I so wish I could be there with her to support her on her worst.

She slightly sobbed and covered her mouth to stifle it. He again squeezed her hand slightly and said

Sid- it's okay Nakchadi, you were also fighting with your own miseries that time.

Avu- I tried to explain her that Papa never wanted to do all this but she have tied her eyes with the batten of hate.

He couldn't see her like this so he quickly shifted his chair closer to her and the next moment she was captured in his embrace.

Avu- she do..n't wa.nt to un.derst..and an..yt.hing over her h.atr..ed. She thin..ks that Papa was not..hing but a man with low cha..ra..cter. It'..s it's not tr..ue Siddharth.
(she don't want to understand anything over her hatred. She thinks that Papa was nothing but a man with low character. It's not true Siddharth.)

She sobbed melting in his arms and wrapped her arms around his robust body. Her cries were low but it directly reverberated in his heart. After few minutes, he languidly separated from the hug. He gently cupped her face and rubbed out the tears with his thumb.

Sid- ahm ahm your Nani will hang me if she will see me with you and specially when your whole face is layered with tear marks

He gasped dramatically and unlike AbhiNavi she chuckled on his joke and shook her head playfully. He smiled looking at her smiling face. He then took out his handkerchief from his pocket and soaked it with water from the bottle kept on the table.

Her breath hitched when he suddenly moved closer to her. He gently began to wipe the speckled mascara from under her eyes. He was focused on his work but she was ogling at him with wide eyes. His queasy touches were forming goosebumps over her body.

Sid- I know gawking at your personal property isn't illegal but you can do this later, baby

He whispered in his husky voice making the scarlet shade linger over her cheeks. His breaths fanned on her face while he spoke. Chill shivers ran through her body arousing the intimacy inside her.

Avu- do.nn't ca..ll me t..hat.t (don't call me that)

She banged her head on the table in her imagination for shuttering so badly. He smirked seeing his effect on her and continued doing his work.

Sid- I think I should go somewhere else before your Nani (grandmother) or media makes any issue

He said and was about to get up when her question interrupted him in between.

Avu- but media isn't allowed inside.

She said cocking her eyebrows.

Sid- I know, but to get amazing news they even barge inside in different get ups

She made an O face and nodded her head in understanding. But before she could reply anything a waiter approaches them.

Waiter- Sir.. Mam

He politely extend the tray towards them. Sid was about to pick a glass of cold drink but quickly pulled his hand back when she shot a glare at him.

Sid- I am fine

He denied politely and gestured the waiter to leave.

Sid- wild cat won't change ever

He mocked and she rolled her eyes.

Avu- I guess No, as long as I am with an idiot bandar(monkey)

She narked with a shoulder shrug.

Sid- then I guess you will remain same till your whole life. Forever.

He said in wiry tone directly gazing into her eyes. Her lips automatically curled into a grin and to hide it from him kept her head up on the table. She slightly hummed in response hiding her huge smile under her forearms. He chuckled on her behaviour as he already caught her grinning. Then he also laid his head over his crossed arms on the table.

Avu- this dress is little uncomfortable.

She growled in irritation and pouted.

Sid- then who said you to wear it ?

He said with a tone of disgrace.

Avu- it was the only suitable dress in the collection of Nani's designer. I had to choose one as I don't wanted to offend her.

She said with sigh and peeked to look at him. He too peeked in her direction and interjected

Sid- you look ravishing, like the beautiful Cindrella you are

Avu's outfit 👆🏻

Integrity was visible in his voice and his eyes were filled with adoration. She was dumbfounded to even reply something. Blood rushed to her cheeks giving it a roseate shade. Their direct eye contact made the butterflies dance in her stomach.

Avu- ah.. um.. thanks

She replied after a good silence and her heart was feeling overwhelmed. She took a quick glance of his and he was as always slaying in his looks.

Sid's outfit 👆🏻

He sat straight and start singing and she also straightened herself.

Sid- Main agar kahoon tumsa haseen
Kainaat mein nahi hai kahin
Tareef yeh bhi toh
Sach hai kuch bhi nahi
(If I say that no one is more beautiful
Than you in this universe
Then even this praise
Is nothing but the truth)

He motioned to play his imaginary guitar. Her eyes were glued on him, he was looking so cute while doing these antics. She felt losing her mind in his hypnotising voice.

Sid- Tumko paya hai toh jaise khoya hoon
Kehna chahoon bhi toh tumse kya kahoon
Kisi zabaan mein bhi
Woh labz hi nahi
Ki jin mein tum ho
Kya tumhe bata sakoon
(I feel lost since I've found you
Even if I want to say something, then what should I say to you
There is no language in which
There are those words
In which you're there
So that I can tell you)

He released a breath after finished singing, his eyes never left her. Both were smiling whole-heartedly and his gaze was making her shiver.

That moment was a bliss for them, they wished to it be like this forever. They and the world be far away from each other and it should be just 'them'. Talking like this, bickering in between and enjoying this glorious feeling.

Silence filled in the atmosphere but their eyes never stopped talking. Their faces were again buried in their forearms but eyes never leave each other. They were hiding their uncontrollable smiles but they couldn't hide the glint of their eyes. Whenever their eyelids blinked it seemed like as if it was giving replies.

But their beautiful moment get deranged by a familiar voice. They immediately stood up in panic.

Avu- Nani(grandmother)

Avu mumbled under her breath in dismay and Sid heard it.

Sheet- I was searching for you all the time. What are you doing here ?

Sheetal asked with concern and the last line while eyeing at Sid. And it was sure that Sid's presence with Avu was obnoxius for her. Avu fiddle her fingers and she was in indecisive about what to answer. Sid sensed her situation and lied

Sid- I found her sitting here with her head down so I thought she isn't feeling well, so I came here just to ask.

He said with a forced smile. Sheetal's expression softened towards him, but only a little as she was still not satisfied with his answer.

Sheet- Muskan I wanted to introduce you to someone so let's go.

She said exaggerating 'someone' and SidNeet's eyebrows knitted together in confusion.

Avu slightly nodded and glanced at Sid for one more time before following Sheetal. But suddenly Sheetal's steps stopped in the middle and she turned towards him again.

Sheet- why don't you join us, Mr. Nigam ?

Sid and Avu were startled by Sheetal's words as they didn't expected her to say this. Sid furrowed his eyebrows and looked at Sheetal with suspiciously.

Sid pov
What is this woman up to do now ?

Avu bit her inner cheeks as she could see that even though Sid and Sheetal are looking at each other with a smile but their eyes are conflicting.

I can sense by her smile that her intentions aren't healthy, at least not for me.

Sid- Mrs. Ahuja, how can I deny your words and even when you are asking me so lovingly ?

Lovingly! I know very well that venom is mixed in her sugar coated words.

He said being dramatic trying to cover up the loath behind it. Avu glared at him from corner of her eyes but he just ignored her murderous looks.

Come on Nakchadi, when your dear Nani(grandmother) is trying to act extra sweet then at least I can act as an annoying ass.

The corner of his lips were twitched into a smirk. Sheetal flashed a sugar coated grin to him.

Sheet- so let's go now

She said with a fake chuckle and again turned and started walking. Sid glanced at Avu with a look 'What she wants now ?' and she shrugged her shoulders with a look 'How would I know ?' and both sighed while shooking their heads.
