Shehnaaz was left shocked when all of a sudden Sidharth started kissing her. But soon she realised what was happening was totally wrong.

She tried to break the kiss but Sidharth didn't let her. He held her waist more tightly and kissed her with much passion. He himself had no idea what happened to him but at that moment he couldn't stop himself. He was loving the touch of her soft lips on his rough ones.

But on the other hand, Shehnaaz was struggling to come out of his grip. She knew what was going to happen next and she couldn't repeat the same mistake again.

"Sidharth bas ki jiye!" Screamed Shehnaaz breaking the kiss and pushing Sidharth away from herself.

It took time for Sidharth to understand what he had done.

"Shehnaaz main....."

Before he could speak, Shehnaaz said, "Nahi Sidharth. Khud ko justify karne ki koshish bhi mat ki jiyega. Uss din aap hosh mein nahi the aur main bhi emotions mein beh gayi thi. Par aaj main aap ko woh same mistake repeat nahi karne dungi."

Sidharth was hurt hearing that and said, "It was not a mistake......"

"Oh of course it was!" Yelled Shehnaaz. "Abhi na sahi par kaal subah aap yeh hi kahoge. Aur iss baar bhi aap mujhe hi blame karoge iss mistake ke liye. Aap ne samajh kya rakha hai mujhe? Jab marzi kiss kar liya, intimate ho gaye aur phir jab marzi mujhe khud se dur kar diya. Meri khud ki koi feelings nahi hai kya?"

Shehnaaz was crying and Sidharth's eyes also became moist.

"Aisa nahi hai. Please listen to me......."

Shehnaaz stopped Sidharth showing her hand.

"Mujhe kuch der akele rehna hai." She said and left the room while tears rolled down Sidharth's cheeks.

He fell on the bed with a jerk and face-palmed himself. He couldn't decide what he had done was right or wrong. He was very much confused. The whole night he kept thinking about this until he fell asleep.

Next Morning...

Sidharth woke up and his hand automatically went to Shehnaaz's side which he found empty. He immediately got up from the bed and checked everywhere in the room.

"Shehnaaz kal puri raat room mein nahi aayi?" He thought and became worried.

He wore his jacket and came out of the room. He went to the lawn but Shehnaaz was not there as well.

He then called her but her phone was not reachable.

"Damn it!" He said being frustrated.

Then he thought something and went to the reception.

"Excuse me! Aap ne kaal raat meri wife ko dekha hai yaaha se jaate hue?" Asked Sidharth to the receptionist.

"Aap ki wife.... Accha woh Madam? Haan woh toh kaal raat ko bahar nikli thi. Uske baad wapas hi nahi aayi." Said the receptionist making Sidharth more worried.

"Yeh ladki bhi na hadh karti hai! Aisi anjaan jagah mein bina baataye paata nahi kaha chali gayi." Said Sidharth in his mind.

He was about to go to find Shehnaaz when the receptionist asked, "Sir aap kaha jaa rahe hai?"

"Apni wife ko dhund ne aur kaha? Woh zaroor raasta bhatak gayi hogi. I have to go."

"Dekhiye Sir bahar ka mahol thik nahi hai. Aap aise mahol mein bahar naa hi jaaye toh behtar hoga."

Sidharth got angry hearing that and said, "Bahar na jaau matlab? Meri wife puri raat ghar nahi lauti hai. Paata nahi iss waqt kaha hai, kis halat mein hai. Aur main usse dhund ne na jaau?"

The receptionist got little scared and said, "Sir aap galat samajh rahe hai. Main kehna chah raha tha ki....."

Before he could complete, the manager came there and asked, "What's happening here?"

"Actually meri wife kaal raat bahar gayi thi aur abhi tak wapas nahi lauti. Main usse hi dhund ne jaa raha ki inhone......"

Before Sidharth could complete, the manager said, "Kya? Abhi tak wapas nahi lauti? Oh God! Bahar abhi jo mahol hai..... I just hope she is safe."

"Kya matlab? Main kuch samjha nahi." Said Sidharth being confused.

"Sayad aap ne aaj ka news nahi dekha."

Saying that the manager gestured the receptionist to turn on the TV and he did. Meanwhile Sidharth was very much worried and constantly hoping everything to be fine.

"Tourists died in Srinagar Bomb Blast!"

As soon as Sidharth saw the news, he felt as if his whole world collapsed.

He looked at the manager who said, "Sir abhi kuch ghante pehle Srinagar Marketplace mein terrorist attack hua hai. Kayi tourists ki death hui hai iss bomb blast mein. Kayi aisa na ho ki aap ki wife bhi......."

Before he could complete the sentence, Sidharth held the manager's collars angrily. His eyes were bloodshot red.

"How dare you! Himmat kaise hui meri wife ke baare mein aisa bolne ki? Listen, she is absolutely fine, okay? Kuch nahi ho sakta hai usse." He said gritting his teeth.

"Sir please calm down." Said the manager removing his hands forcefully. "Hum police mein inform karte hai. They will definitely find your wife. Aap tab tak shaanti se baith jaaiye."

"Baith jaau?" Asked Sidharth with disbelief. "Aisi situation mein Shehnaaz bahar hai aur main.... No way. Main khud jaa ke usse dhunduga."

"But Sir pure seher mein curfew jari kiyi gayi hai. Woh terrorists abhi tak pakde nahi gaye. Isliye logo se kaha jaa raha hai woh apne apne gharo se bahar na nikle. Isliye please aap idhar wait kar li jiye, you might be in danger if you go outside." Said the manager trying hard to make Sidharth understand. But he was not ready to hear anything.

"I don't care!" Shouted Sidharth. "Mujhe bas itna paata hai ki meri Shehnaaz khatre mein hai. Aur agar usse kuch bhi ho gaya toh..... Toh main marr jaaunga. Isliye main jaa raha hoon usse dhund ne."

Saying that Sidharth started leaving from there. He remembered the old man's words which he said at that night which was making him more scared.

"Nahi....Shehnaaz ke saath aisa nahi hoga.... Woh mujhe chhor ke nahi jaa sakti....I'll find her at any cost...." He thought.

At first he called their driver who denied to go along with him to find. But after so many requests, he agreed to give his car.

Sidharth took the car keys and was about to go to find Shehnaaz when his eyes fell on a police van which stopped near their homestay.

Sidharth stopped seeing the van. His heartbeat became faster than as usual. Suddenly the van's gate was opened and Shehnaaz came out of the van.

Sidharth's eyes became teary seeing Shehnaaz. Also he felt relieved. He felt that he was breathing again.

Shehnaaz thanked the police officers and they left with their van. Then she noticed Sidharth who was standing there numb and slowly walked towards him.

"Sidharth woh main....."

Sidharth didn't let her say anything and hugged her tightly being emotional. He could not control himself anymore burst into tears.

Shehnaaz couldn't understand why he was crying. She just hugged him and asked, "Kya hua Sidharth?"

"Shehnaaz tum.... Tum thik toh ho na?....kahi chot toh nahi lagi tumhe?"

He broke the hug and kissed her whole face while crying.

"I swear..... Main.... Main bohut darr gaya tha.... Agar tumhe kuch.... Kuch ho jaata toh..... Main marr jaata.... Tum dobara.....kabhi aisa nahi karogi....Samjhi?" Said Sidharth sobbing.

Shehnaaz's heart ached seeing him in that state. She wiped his tears while saying, "Sidharth aap ro kyu rahe hai? Zara dekhiye meri taraf. Mujhe kuch nahi hua hai. Main bilkool thik hoon. Jab paata chala ki Srinagar Marketplace mein terrorist attack hua hai, main bohut darr gayi. Main raat ko chalte chalte homestay se bohut dur aa gayi thi aur wapas aane ka raasta tak malum nahi tha. Bohut logo se madat maangi par sab dare hue the. Kisi ne meri madat nahi kiyi. Phir raaste mein kuch police officers mile aur woh mujhe yaaha pe chhor ke gaye. Haan, sayad mere saath bohut kuch ho sakta tha par hua toh nahi na? Phir aap abhi kyu ro rahe hai?"

"Tumhe nahi paata Shehnaaz main kitna darr gaya tha. Ek pal ke liye aisa lag raha tha jaise maine tumhe humesha ke liye kho diya. Tum mujhse bohut dur chali gayi. Shehnaaz, zindagi mein main already bohut kuch kho chuka hoon. Isliye ab chahe kuch bhi ho jaaye main tumhe kho nahi sakta. Waada karo, tum mere saath rahogi.... Humesha."

Shehnaaz was going to say yes but then she stopped herself.

"Nahi Sidharth. Yeh nahi ho sakta. Main humesha aap ke saath nahi reh sakti. Aap ko toh paata hi hai humein ek na ek din alag hona padega." She said sadly.

Sidharth nodded his head negatively and said, "Aisa bilkool nahi hoga, kabhi nahi. I know that main hi chahta tha ki tum mujhe divorce de ke mujhse dur chali jao. Kyu ki shaadi ke baad se le kar aaj tak maine tumhe sirf rulaya hai. Socha tha mujhse dur jaa ke tum apni zindagi mein khush rahogi. Par aaj jab aisa laga ki tum sach mein mujhse dur ho rahi ho, mera dam ghutne laga. Mujhe ehsaas hua ki main reh hi nahi sakta tumhare bina. I need you Shehnaaz."

Shehnaaz couldn't believe Sidharth's words. She kept looking at him while teardrops fell from her eyes.

Sidharth held Shehnaaz's both hands and said, "Shehnaaz sach kahu toh main aaj bhi nahi jaanta ki main tumse pyaar karta hoon yaa nahi. Par itna zaroor jaanta hoon ki tum important ho mere liye. Mere dil mein Sana aaj bhi hai par kahi na kahi waha tum bhi ho. Isliye main humare iss rishte ko ek dusra mauka dena chahta hoon. Kyu na hum sab kuch bhula ke ek normal Pati Patni ki tarah rahe?"

"Aap sach mein yeh chahte ho?" Asked Shehnaaz still not being able to believe him.

Sidharth cupped her face and said, "Main tumhara saath chahta hoon Shehnaaz. Sirf kuch waqt ke liye nahi, puri zindagi ke liye. Kya tum dogi mera saath? Meri galtiyon ko maaf kar ke ek nayi suruwaad karogi mere saath?"

"Aap sure ho na? Phir se chhor ne ki baat toh nahi karoge?" She asked like an small kid.

Sidharth chuckled seeing her face and said, "Kabhi nahi meri Jaan."

Shehnaaz also smiled with tears hearing that.

They both closed their eyes and joined foreheads feeling happiness and peace after a long time. After a lot of ups and downs, love finally found its way, from her heart to his heart.

Chhalak gaye naina
Tune man bhar diya
Mere khali se dil ko yoon
Tune ghar kar diya

They looked at each other with smiles on their faces. Sidharth kept staring at her for sometime and then gave long kiss on her forehead to give her the assurance that he would never leave her.

Chhalak gaye naina
Tune mann bhar diya
Mere khali se dil ko yoon
Tune ghar kar diya

"Srinagar Bomb Blast mein shaamil do atankvadiyon ko police ne pakad liya aur woh yakeen ke saath keh sakte hai ki Kashmir ab bilkool safe hai. Yaaha ke tourists ko ab koi bhi khatra nahi hai. Isliye seher se curfew bhi ab hata di gayi hai."

Sidharth turned off the TV and looked at Shehnaaz who was also happy hearing the news.

"Iska matlab ab hum bahar jaa sakte hai?" She asked excitedly.

Sidharth wrapped his hand around her body and said pulling her closer, "Agar tum chaho toh. Warna yaaha pe rehna bhi itna bura nahi hai."

Saying that he closed his eyes and tried to kiss Shehnaaz who became shy and pushed him.

She was about to leave when he held her hand.

Adhoori si raahein milayi
Adhoori hawayein chalayi
Adhoori si baatein banayi

He kissed her hand and left her making her smile shyly.

Ishq ke silsile ban gaye re

Later that day she came out wearing a dress with the scarf which Sidharth gave her. Sidharth became happy seeing her in that scarf. He felt special as she wore it for him and couldn't take his eyes off her.

Tere dil se dil tak mere mere
Tere dil se dil tak mere
Tere dil se dil tak mere mere
Tere dil se dil tak mere

"Uss din keh nahi paayi. Iss scarf ke liye thank you." Said Shehnaaz.

"Isse pehen ne ke liye thank you." Said Sidharth and Shehnaaz blushed.

Ho ankhiyan na roye te
Jaage na soye te
Taan umra jeete rahe

Ho ishq de haale se
Ishq de pyale se
Taan umra peete rahe

Later Sidharth and Shehnaaz visited the dal lake.

While walking near the lake Shehnaaz suddenly felt a touch on her hand. Then she looked at her hand and noticed that Sidharth was holding her hand tightly to which she felt butterfly in her stomach.

Haan main taan haari re
Haari re haari re
Duniya vaari re
Vaari re vaari re

Shehnaaz turned her face while blushing. Here Sidharth was also blushing a little turning his face to the other side. They both kept walking like this.

Tere dil se dil tak mere mere
Tere dil se dil tak mere
Tere dil se dil tak mere mere
Tere dil se dil tak mere

After sometime they did the Shikara ride. While sitting on the Shikara, Shehnaaz was enjoying the view and clicking photos while Sidharth was only lost in her. For him, there was nothing more beautiful than her.

Kaamil hua jo dil tune chhua
Jo kuch bhi tha mera tera hua
Tujhse hui shuru yeh dastaan
Tujhpe khatam hui meri dua

Soon they watched the sunset sitting on the Shikara.

"Sab kuch kitna khubsurat hai na Sidharth?" Asked Shehnaaz suddenly looking at the sun. "Main, aap, yeh dubta hua Suraj aur Kashmir ki yeh wadiyan.... Kaash sab kuch humesha itna hi khubsurat rahe."

Sidharth kept his hand on hers and said giving her assurance, "Rahega. Waada hai mera."

Adhoori si raatein milayi
Adhoori subah sajayi
Adhoori si baatein banayi
Ishq ke silsile bann gaye re

Shehnaaz moved close to Sidharth and wrapped her hands around his arm keeping her head on his shoulder, making him smile.

Tere dil se dil tak mere mere
Tere dil se dil tak mere
Tere dil se dil tak mere mere
Tere dil se dil tak mere

Main maanu tera kehna tu jaane re
Tu maane mera kehna main jaanu re
Tere dil se dil tak mere mere
Tere dil se dil tak mere

At Night...

"So...may I?" Asked Sidharth looking at Shehnaaz's lips. She shyly blinked her eyes and Sidharth sealed her lips for a passionate kiss.

Ho ankhiyan na roye te
Jaage na soye te
Taan umra jeete rahe

Ho ishq de haale se
Ishq de pyale se
Taan umra peete rahe

That night they actually made love. For the first time Shehnaaz felt that she was being loved by him. That night was special for both of them as their hearts got united.

Haan main taan haari re
Haari re haari re
Duniya vaari re
Vaari re vaari re

It was morning. Sidharth and Shehnaaz were still lying in each others' arms.

"Yeh kya hai Shehnaaz?" Asked Sidharth suddenly caressing Shehnaaz's amulet.

"Woh...... Mummy ne diya tha..... Keh rahi thi kisi Baba ne unhe diya hai aur yeh meri raksha karega. Unhone itne viswas ke saath pehnaya toh maana nahi kar paayi." Said Shehnaaz.

"Waise main inn sab pe yakeen nahi karta. Par Mummy ka viswas juda hai iske saath, isliye koi baat nahi." Said Sidharth to which Shehnaaz gave a slight smile.

She didn't want to lie but he wouldn't believe her if she told him the truth.

Soon she shrugged off her thoughts and kept her head on his chest with closed eyes.

Tere dil se dil tak mere mere
Tere dil se dil tak mere
Tere dil se dil tak mere mere
Tere dil se dil tak mere

Their Kashmir Trip went like this. It changed a lot of things between them. They let the thought of separation go from their mind and decided to start a new life with each other and fill each other's entire life with only love and happiness.

After the trip was over, they were returning to Mumbai. But both of them didn't know what was waiting for them back in Mumbai.
