After trying many times to talk to Naaz, Sidharth finally gave up and went to his room to change.

"Ab hogaya late. Kya karu? Kaam hai mera. Chhor toh nahi sakta na. Zyada nakhre dikha rahi hai. Aur mere dono Jiju, kitna footage le rahe the uske saamne. Huh! Jaisa kitna time dete hai apni apni biwion ko. Inn logo ko bas mujhe bura dikhana hai. Aur kuch nahi." Said Sidharth in his mind while wearing a t-shirt.

Suddenly Naaz came and kept a bottle of water on the table. Sidharth noticed her.

Naaz was about to leave when Sidharth called her, "Naaz!"

Naaz stopped but didn't look at him.

Sidharth went to Naaz and said, "Tum abhi bhi gussa ho mujhse?"

Naaz didn't reply.

"Naaz I'm really sorry. Main zaldi wapas aana chahta tha lekin ho nahi paaya. Kaam ka bohut pressure tha."

Naaz looked at him and said, "Nahi nahi. Aap kyu sorry bol rahe hai? Sorry toh mujhe bolna chahiye. Sorry for expecting that you will come early for me. Kyu ki aap ke paas iss duniya mein sab ke liye time hai except me. Meri toh koi importance hi nahi hai nah aap ki life mein."

"I hope mujhe yeh samjhane ki zaroorat nahi hai ki meri life mein tumhari kitni importance hai. Aur waise bhi itni chhoti si baat ke liye itna gussa kyu ho rahi ho?"

Naaz got more angry.

"Chhoti si baat? Saalon dur rahi hoon main aap se. Aur ab jab main aap se apne liye thoda time maang rahi hoon toh yeh aap ko chhoti si baat lagti hai?" She said angrily.

"Naaz I didn't mean that." Sidharth tried to explain.

Naaz turned her face showing anger.

"Accha tumhe mere saath time spend karna hai nah? Toh ab kar lete hai. Waise bhi apas mein ladne se humara time waste hi ho raha hai. Isliye baatao mujhe kya karna hai. I can do anything to make it up for you." Said Sidharth.

"Aap sach mein kuch bhi karenge?" Asked Naaz raising her one eyebrow.

"Kuch bhi. Tum bas kaho."  Said Sidharth.

Naaz smiled but again maintained a poker face.

"Phir chaliye mere saath." Said Naaz.

"Kaha?" Asked Sidharth.

"Chaliye nah!" Said Naaz and dragged Sidharth by his hand.

Naaz took him upstairs and they stopped near a room. Naaz opened the door and smiled seeing the piano still there.

"Yaaha kyu laayi ho?" Asked Sidharth.

"Piano bajayenge mere liye?" Asked Naaz.

"Abhi?"

"Hmm. Hostel mein main sochti thi ki main kab aap ko phir se Piano bajate hue sunungi. Toh baataiye, bajayenge mere liye?"

Sidharth smiled and said, "Ab Biwi ki khwahish toh puri karni padegi."

Naaz became happy.

Sidharth sat on the chair and prepared himself for playing. He was about to play but suddenly stopped.

Naaz went near him and said, "Kya hua? Bajaiye."

"I think kisi ne mujhse kaha tha jab woh gaana sikh jaayegi toh mere saath gayegi." Said Sidharth.

Naaz remembered that conversation.

"Aap chahte hai ki main gaau?" Asked Naaz.

"Of course. Mujhe dekhna hai ki tumhe singing school mein daal ke kahi maine apne paise waste toh nahi kar diye."

"Sidharthhhh!" Whined Naaz.

"Accha Baba, just kidding. Tum gaao." Said Sidharth laughing.

Naaz cleared her throat and started singing. Sidharth also started playing the piano.

(Main yeh part details mein nahi likh rahi. Iss gaane ko dekh ke Saif aur Vidya Balan ki jagah SidNaaz ko imagine kar lo)

While singing the song and playing the piano, they became so lost in each other that after finishing the song also they kept staring at each other.

Naaz's both hands were rested on Sidharth's shoulders and their faces were too close. Once again their lips were inches apart but before Sidharth could kiss her lips, Naaz ran from there blushing heavily. Sidharth hit his own head for missing the chance.

Naaz was standing at the door and looking down in shyness while playing with her dupatta.

Sidharth went near her and said, "Waise kehna padega, tumne kaafi accha gaaya hai, even mujhse bhi accha. Fan hogaya main tumhari awaz ka."

Naaz didn't reply. She just blushed hearing his compliment.

"I think ab meri biwi ka gussa shaant hogaya."

Naaz suddenly remembered that she was angry at him.

She made a poker face and said, "Nahi toh. Kisne kaha? Main aap se abhi bhi gussa hoon. Aap ko aur bhi kuch karna hoga mujhe maana ne ke liye."

Siddharth suddenly pulled her close to himself and looked at her with full of love in his eyes.

He sensually touched her face with his finger, removing the hair from her face and tucking it behind her ear.

"Tumhe paata hai gusse mein tum damn cute dikhti ho. Isliye agar tum zyada der gussa rahi toh main khud ko aur control nahi kar paaunga. So please maan jaao na Jaan." He said huskily.

Naaz knew what he was doing. Though her heart was racing at that time, she didn't fall for his trick. Moreover she decided to play along.

Naaz slowly locked her hands around his neck. Sidharth became totally lost in her.

"Sidharth...." She said softly.

"Haan...." He replied looking at her like a drunk person.

"Aap ko..."

"Mujhe..."

"Mere saath...."

"Tumhare saath...."

Naaz immediately changed her expression and said, "Aap ko mere saath ghar ghar khelna hoga."

"Ghar...... What?" Asked Sidharth with disbelief.

Naaz pushed him away and said, "Jab tak aap mere saath ghar ghar nahi khelte, mera gussa shaant nahi hoga."

"Yeh kaisa bachpana hai Naaz? Ab tum chahti ho ki main tumhare saath ghar ghar khelu? Yeh nahi hoga." Said Sidharth making an annoyed face.

"Yaa toh aap mere saath ghar ghar khelo yaa phir mujhse zindagi mein kabhi baat mat karo. Choice is yours." Said Naaz showing attitude.

She was about to leave when Sidharth said, "Okay fine. You win I lose. Khel raha hoon main tumhare saath ghar ghar."

A mischievous smile came to Naaz's face but she hid it from Sidharth.

They again went to their room and started playing house house sitting on the bed.

After sometime...

"Yeh li jiye Sidharth. Aap ki coffee." Said Naaz holding false cup and plate.

Sidharth laughed seeing her cute antics.

Then he took the false cup plate and said, "Thank you Wifey."

"You're welcome Hubby." Said Naaz.

They both started acting as they were drinking coffee.

"Aap ko paata hai Sidharth, Delhi mein maine apne saare doston ko aise ghar ghar khelna sikha diya tha. Aur main jab bhi kehti thi, unhe mere saath ghar ghar khelna padta tha." Said Naaz suddenly.

"Accha jab tum Delhi mein thi, main tumhare baare mein kuch jaan nahi paaya. Lekin ab mujhe sab kuch jaan na hai. Tum kya karti thi, tumhare dost kaise the, sab kuch." Said Sidharth.

"Delhi mein toh main bas ek hi kaam karti thi. Aap ko yaad, har lamha, har pal." Said Naaz with full of love.

Sidharth smiled hearing that.

"Aur dost toh mere bohut saare the. School mein, Drama school mein, Singing school mein. Woh mujhe kabhi akelapan mehsoos nahi hone dete the."

Sidharth was happy knowing that Naaz had a good company of friends.

"Aur aap ko paata hai, unn mein se ek toh mera bohut hi khas dost ban gaya tha." She added further.

Suddenly Sidharth's face turned pale.

"Ladka?" He asked.

"Haan. Mere Drama school mein tha." Replied Naaz.

"Ladka khas dost kaise ban gaya?.... Matlab mujhe koi fark nahi padta... Main toh bas aise hi puch raha tha. Tum chaho toh mat baatao." He said trying to give a don't care attitude.

Naaz became confused and asked, "Aap ko achanak kya hogaya?"

"Kuch bhi toh nahi. Mujhe kya hoga?"

Suddenly the window opened because of heavy wind.

"Lagta hai barish hone wali hai. Main khidki band kar ke aaya."

Saying that Sidharth went to close the window.

At first Naaz couldn't make out anything but later she understood the matter and smiled in her mind thinking that her husband was being jealous.

She stood up and went to Sidharth while saying, "Waise... Abhi aap hi ne kaha na ki mera ladka dost hone se aap ko koi fark nahi padhta?"

"Haan bilkool. Mujhe koi fark nahi padhta." Said Sidharth while burning in jealousy from inside.

"Aap ka toh paata nahi, lekin agar aap ki ladkiya dost bhi hoti nah toh mujhe koi farak nahi padhta." Said Naaz.

Suddenly a plan crossed Sidharth's mind.

"Tumhe sach mein koi fark nahi padhta? Bura nahi lagta?" He asked to confirm.

"Ladkiya toh dost ho hi sakti hai. Iss mein bura lagne wali kaunsi baat hai?"

"Accha hua Naaz tumne baata diya. Ab main soch raha hoon apne ladki doston ke baare mein bhi tumhe baata hi doon." Said Sidharth intentionally.

Naaz immediately looked at him.

"Matlab pehle socha tha chhupa na padega. Lekin ab koi problem nahi hai, ab sab baata dunga. Dheere dheere."

Naaz couldn't believe her ears. She gave an very angry but cute expression and asked, "Kya? Aap ki ladkiya dost thi?"

"Hain. Bohut saari hain. Ek ek kar ke sab ke baare mein baataunga. Abhi bohut time hai humare paas."

"Aap ki ladkiya dost... Matlab kaise....Arghhhh!"

She got irritated and sat on the bed making an angry pout.

Sidharth went to Naaz and she looked at him with that angry pout on her face. Sidharth felt like pulling her chubby cheeks.

He was so lost in her that when he was trying to sit, he suddenly slipped and fell on the bed.

"Arrey! Coffee gir gayi." He said.

Naaz got more angry and turned her face.

"Main saaf kar deta hoon." He said and started wiping the fake coffee.

"Waise Naaz, tumne toh kaha tha tumhe koi fark nahi padhta." Said Sidharth after sometime.

Naaz looked at him and said, "Jhut kaha tha maine. Mujhe fark padhta hai. Bohut bohut bohut zyada fark padhta hai."

Sidharth smiled and said, "Mujhe bhi."

Naaz also smiled and hold his hands.

"Aap ko paata hai Sidharth, meri na bachpan se yeh hi problem hai. Main aap ko kisi ke saath share nahi kar sakti."

"Main bhi nahi."

They kept looking at each other for some time while holding hands.

Suddenly Naaz said, "Lekin ek baat toh maan ni padegi. Jab maine aap ko apne ladke dost ke baare mein baataya toh aap ek pal ke liye jale the na."

Sidharth immediately removed his hands and said making a poker face, "Bilkool nahi. Main kyu jalunga bhala?"

"Jhut mat boliye Sidharth. Aap itta sa toh jale the."

"Nahi jala tha."

"Itta sa bhi nahi?"

Sidharth nodded in no.

"Aap mujhse nahi chhupa sakte. Main jab chhoti thi tab mujhe aap ka yeh jealousy wala expression samajh mein nahi aata tha. Lekin ab mujhe sab samajh mein aata hai. Aur saalon baad aap ke chehre pe woh same jealousy dekh ke mujhe toh bohut maza aaya. Sacchi!"

Sidharth tried to maintain a poker face but failed.

He sighed and said, "Haan sacchi main thoda sa jala tha. Lekin bas thoda sa hi."

He paused for a while and said, "Lekin dosti ke baare mein mera maan na yeh hai ki humein dosti ladka yaa ladki dekh ke nahi karni chahiye. Humein dosti yeh dekh ke karni chahiye ki kya humari mentality unse  milti hai, kya woh humare sukh dukh ka saathi ban sakta hai. Aur mujhe humesha se lagta tha ki tumhara khas dost sirf main hoon. The one and only Sidharth Shukla. Hai naa?"

"Ummm... Nahi!" Said Naaz.

Sidharth's face grew serious.

"Dekho Naaz, mazak mat karo. Mujhe tension ho rahi hai." He said being scared.

Naaz laughed and said, "Haan haan Sidharth aap hi mere sabse acche aur khas dost ho. Maine kaha tha na aap ki jagah koi nahi le sakta. Naa Bareilly mein, aur naa hi Delhi mein."

Sidharth smiled and said, "Aur tum meri sabse acchi aur pyaari dost. Tumhari jagah bhi koi nahi le sakta, kabhi bhi nahi."

Naaz wrapped her hands around his arm and rested her head on his shoulder. Sidharth adored her for some time and then rested his head on her head.

After sometime he said, "Waise Madam, agar aap ka gussa shaant hogaya ho toh dinner karne chale? Pet mein chuhe daud rahe hai."

"Haan haan chaliye. Bohut pareshan kar liya aap ko." Replied Naaz.

"Iss hi pareshani ko toh miss kiya itne saal."

Naaz smiled hearing that.
