Next morning, Sidharth woke up when sunrays touched his face. He suddenly remembered last night's incident. He couldn't understand if everything he saw was a dream then how he went to the garden. He didn't have the habit of walking in sleep. Then how was it possible?

Sidharth didn't give much pressure to his brain and stood up from the bed. While making the bed, he again remembered something. He remembered how badly he behaved with Shehnaaz when she tried to stop him. It was not her fault. He felt guilty for his own behaviour but soon he shrugged it off.

After getting freshen, he came out of his room and saw Shehnaaz in the kitchen. She was just standing there and looking at everything.

As soon as she noticed Sidharth, she said, "Sidharth. Accha hua aap uth gaye. Mujhe samajh nahi aa raha breakfast mein kya banau. Waise mujhe cooking aati nahi hai par aap baata di jiye kya khayenge. Main bana ne ki koshish karungi."

Sidharth didn't reply as some flashbacks came in front of his eyes.

Flashback...

Sana was making something in the kitchen when Sidharth came there and hugged her tightly from behind and started nuzzling in the crook of her neck.

"Sidharth kya kar rahe ho? Can't you see I'm cooking? Hato yaaha se." Said Sana pushing him slightly.

Sidharth rolled his eyes and left her. Then he looked at the food she was making and took its smell.

"Acchi khusboo hai. It's strange! Main jab khana pakata hoon tab toh aisi khusboo nahi aati." He said.

Sana turned to him and said, "Kyu ki ladko aur ladkiyon ke haath ke khane mein fark hota hai. Ladke chahe kitni bhi koshish kar le, ladkiyon jitna tasty khana nahi bana sakta."

"That's not true." Said Sidharth. "Bade bade five star hotels mein ladke hi chef hote hai. Unke haath ka khana toh sabko tasty lagta hai."

"Tum kisi five start hotel ke chef nahi ho."

"Par cooking ka talent toh hai mujh mein."

While talking, Sana finished cooking and washed her hands. Then she locked her hands around Sidharth's neck and said, "Tum apne iss talent ko apne paas hi rakho. Kyu ki aaj se iss ghar mein khana sirf tumhari biwi pakayegi."

Sidharth grabbed her waist with his one hand and said pulling her closer, "Roz tasty khana khilaogi toh adat lag jayegi."

"Lagne do adat. Waise bhi main toh humesha tumhare saath hi rehne wali hoon. Tumhara saaya ban ke."

Sidharth smiled hearing that as well as Sana. Then his gaze fell on her lips. Before he could kiss her, Sana moved away and said, "Abhi nahi. Yeh karne lag gaye toh office ke liye late ho jaaoge."

Sidharth made a crying face while Sana laughed seeing him.

Flashback Ends...

"Sidharth! Sidharth!"

Sidharth's thoughts broke by Shehnaaz's voice.

"Baataiye kya khayenge?" She again asked.

Sidharth entered the kitchen and said, "Tum rehne do. Main apna breakfast khud bana lunga. Aur tum apna....."

Sidharth suddenly stopped and asked, "Tumhe toh cooking nahi aati?"

Shehnaaz nodded her head negatively.

"No problem. Main hum dono ka breakfast bana deta hoon. Tum baatao kya khaogi."

"Kuch bhi chalega." She replied.

Sidharth didn't say anything else and started cooking.

"Waise aap ko cooking aati hai?" She asked.

"Haan. Shaadi se pehle akele hi idhar rehta tha. Itna kaam toh aata hai."

Shehnaaz smiled and said, "Yeh toh acchi baat hai. Aap ko paata hai? Main toh humesha se chahti thi ki mere future husband ko kuch aur aaye na aaye, cooking aani chahiye. Aur dekhiye, meri chahat puri......"

Shehnaaz suddenly stopped realising that she was saying too much.

Sidharth stayed silent for sometime and then said sarcastically, "Kamal hai na! Kuch log apni chahat puri karne ke liye dusre ki zindagi barbaad kar dete hai."

Once again Sidharth's words broke Shehnaaz's heart but she didn't say anything. She knew that he hated her and she couldn't change it.

After making breakfast, they both sat at the table and started having it together.

As soon as Shehnaaz took the first bite, she became surprised.

"Wow! It's so yummy! Aap toh sacchi mein bohut accha khana bana lete ho. Mmmmmmm!!!!"

Shehnaaz kept eating while making sounds. Seeing her, Sidharth couldn't help chuckling. She was eating like a baby. That time Sidharth was finding her very adorable. But after realising what he was doing, he took his eyes off her.

While eating, they both felt thirsty and hold the jug together. Their fingers touched and they looked at each other. Sidharth immediately removed his hand and let Shehnaaz take the jug.

After sometime, he noticed ketchup at the corner of lips. He indicated her to wipe it. When Shehnaaz couldn't understand, he went little closer and pointed his finger towards the corner of her lips. Shehnaaz immediately wiped the ketchup and looked down feeling shy. Like this, they finished breakfast without knowing that someone was watching them.

After breakfast, Sidharth was leaving for office. Suddenly he started looking for his shoes.

"Kya hua?" Asked Shehnaaz noticing that he was finding something.

"Mere shoes nahi mil rahe. Yaheen pe toh rehte hai." He said making Shehnaaz confused. Suddenly she remembered the words said by Sana.

"Jab teri shaadi hogi na, main khud tere Pati ke joote chhupaungi."

Shehnaaz couldn't understand why she was thinking it. She ignored her thoughts and said to Sidharth, "Aap rukiye. Main kahi aur dekhti hoon."

"It's ok." Said Sidharth stopping her. "Main dusre shoes pehen ke chala jaaunga."

Saying that he wore another pair of shoes and left the house.

"Dhyan se ja......"

She couldn't complete as Sidharth already left. She sadly closed the door. Now she was alone in the whole house.

"Ab pura din akele iss ghar mein kya karungi?" She thought. But only if she knew that there was someone else who was keeping eyes on her every step.

She was going towards her room when she felt someone's presence around her. She looked around but found none. Then she went to her room.

Later That Day...

Shehnaaz was taking shower in her washroom when suddenly she heard some sounds coming from her room. It was strange as she was alone in the house.

"Kaun hai?" She asked but no reply came. After sometime again another sound was heard by her.

"Sidharth.... aap ho kya?" She asked but this time also no reply came.

Suddenly she got scared when she heard a loud sound.

Shehnaaz immediately wore her bathrobe and came out of the washroom. Suddenly she froze at her place seeing something on the floor. She pressed her mouth with her both hands to control her sobs. It was her and Sidharth's wedding photo frames which were falling on the floor broken.

Shehnaaz slowly went towards the photo frames and bent down. She picked one photo frame on which there was crack between her and Sidharth's photo. Tears rolled down her cheeks seeing it.

Suddenly few drops of blood fell on the photo frame which made Shehnaaz shocked. She looked upward to know from where the drops of blood were coming but she found nothing. In no time the photo frame became red because of the blood.

Shehnaaz looked at other photo frames. There were blood on them as well. She got hell scared. She left the photo frame and immediately moved behind. Then her eyes fell on the mirror on which there was something written with blood.

"Go away."

Breath got stuck at her throat reading it. There was someone who wanted her to go away. But who was it?

Suddenly Shehnaaz felt wetness on her skin. Some drops were falling on her face. She wiped off her face and then looked at her own hand. She saw blood.

"Aaaaaaaaaaa....."

She screamed at the top of her lungs and started running away. She was running towards the door of the house when suddenly the door got opened. She stopped seeing the person standing in front of her.

"Shehnaaz!" Uttered Sidharth.

Shehnaaz ran to him and wrapped her hands tightly around his body and started crying burying her face in his chest.

"Shehnaaz what are you doing? Shehnaaz leave." Said Sidharth calmly as she was crying. He was not liking her hugging him. Also she was in her bathrobe which made him feel uncomfortable. He didn't want to lose his control at any cost.

"Shehnaaz what happened?" Asked Sidharth loudly finally pushing her away.

"Woh.... Sidharth.... Udhar...... Udhar kuch hai...." She said sobbing, pointing her finger towards her room.

"Kya hai udhar?" He asked making a confused face.

"Aap.... Aap chalo mere saath."

Saying that she took Sidharth with her to the room.

"Yeh dekhiye humare shaadi ke photo frames...."

Shehnaaz suddenly stopped noticing that the floor was completely clean. There was nothing on it.

"Kya dekhu?" Asked Sidharth.

"Idhar khoon tha.... Aur udhar mirror pe bhi....."

Shehnaaz again stopped seeing that the mirror was also clean and so was her face. It seemed like nothing happened few minutes ago.

"Yeh kaise ho sakta hai? Idhar khoon tha. Idhar har jagah khoon tha. Humare shaadi ke photo frames pe, mirror pe, mere face pe.... Trust me Sidharth. Idhar kuch toh hai...."

Shehnaaz was trying to explain when Sidharth yelled, "Just shut the f*ck up Shehnaaz!"

Shehnaaz got startled at his voice.

"Tumhe kya lagta hai? Mujhe kuch samajh nahi aa raha? Yeh toh mera bad luck hai ki main apni ek file ghar pe bhul gaya aur usse lene ke liye mujhe wapas aana padha. Tumhe mauka mil gaya apne gande haathon se mujhe touch karne ka. Meri car ki awaz sun liyi hogi. Isliye bathrobe pehen ke mujhse chipak gayi. Mujhe seduce karne ki ek aur ghatiya koshish kiyi."

Shehnaaz kept looking at him with disbelief.

"Paata hai ek pal ke liye mujhe lag raha tha yesterday night I overreacted. But no. Tum jaisi ladkiya iss hi layak ho. Jo apni hi behen ke Pati ko paana chahe uss se aur kya hi umeed rakh sakte hai? But Shehnaaz, let me warn you. Aage se aisi cheap tricks mujh pe use mat karna. Warna mujhse bura koi nahi hoga."

Giving the threat, he left from there angrily.

Shehnaaz kept standing there numb. The person whom she loved all her life, thinks so low of her. She was okay with the fact that he didn't love him back. But she couldn't tolerate his hatred anymore which was increasing day by day. It was giving her pain, only pain.

Suddenly some hot breath fell near Shehnaaz's ears and she heard somebody whispering, "Go Away."
