Life is full of mysteries.Mysteries that have been unfolded and some that are yet to be unfolded.But trust me,all of these mysteries carry something important for us,that we need in our lives which we are unaware of.Ofcourse,there will be persons or situations stopping you from reaching that ultimate goal but it's you who will have to find a solution and reach that goal.There will be hurdles and sometimes life will guide you to the wrong person so that later when you will meet the right person, you will know it.It's the way of life. Mysterious and foreseen.

Samaira:Sidhansh,let's go out today.....see the weather is also nice today

Samaira asked Sidhansh who was currently sitting on his bed and fixing his guitar wires.He looked up at her listening to her question and pretended to be thinking for a moment.

Sidhansh:no thanks,I have work to do Sam

Samaira:you can do this later also.....pleaseee Ansh,please baby

Sidhansh:aab toh main aur nahi jaunga,I am not a baby

Samaira:zyada na pakand mat kar warna utha ke le jaungi

Sidhansh:I wanna see you try

Sidhansh said rolling his eyes and again concentrated on his work.Samaira glared at him and lazily dropped herself on his bed beside Sidhansh.

Meanwhile,Sidhansh's mind went back to that day when he had an accidental meet with that girl.He realized Samaira would definitely know about her as she was talking to her when he had came up.He wasn't going to apologize now because it was already too late but he was curious.

Sidhansh:Sam,listen

Samaira:no,I won't.......you are not listening to me(huff)

Sidhansh lagta hai tujhe sacrifice karna hi hoga!!

Hid mind said to him to which he nodded.He kept the guitar aside and laid down beside Samaira on the bed.

Sidhansh:fine,I will go with you but you have to answer my one question

Samaira smirked listening to him and did a happy dance in her mind on her victory.She fully turned towards Sidhansh and asked through her eyebrows "what".

Sidhansh:who was that girl who had came to our home that day when I had went for football practice?

Samaira:Kaun?

Sidhansh:Sam,this week only she had came........she was wearing a yellow top and had files in her hand

Sidhansh said recalling that day.It was as if printed in his mind making him remember every single detail.He was also confused that his mind hadn't forgotten that day but he blamed his curiosity for it.

Samaira made an O shaped mouth and then it strike her.She squealed and sat up immediately startling Sidhansh also.

Samaira:you are talking about Zoe,Rishi's sister?But when did you meet her?

Sidhansh:Rishi,your student?

Samaira:yup,my student cum friend.......actually that day was her practice day but since I was sad cuz of Aditya,Mohit and Ariel's departure,I invited him to our home.......His sister,Zoe had also came to drop him and had left 1 hour later as she had an important meeting.......you know the amazing fact,Zoe is also my friend now

Sidhansh smiled hearing her.He was happy that his sister was making new friends here also but at the sametime couldn't stop the feeling of little bit of jealousy.He was in the city since his birth but hardly could make such strong friendship bonds.His sister,on the other hand who had just came few months ago had adjusted so well and made new friends too.

But soon, he shrugged off these thoughts remembering that both their personalities are different. Trusting people not so easily was one of the traits of his personality.

Samaira:now tell me,where did you meet her?

Sidhansh:I may have accidentally collided with her

Sidhansh said scratching his neck, ready to make a run because he has now realized that how close they are to Samaira.

Everyone is close to her except me......God please save me today!!

Samaira:What? How?

Sidhansh:I was in a hurry Sam and I hadn't saw her in that hurry so-

Samaira:isliye dad aur naazu kehte hai harbari mein kaam nahi karna chahiye.........anyways,you have apologized to her,right?

Sidhansh:well,no

Sidhansh stood up to run towards the door but Samaira held his hand before he could run.She held his shoulders and made him understand in a soft yet stern voice.

Samaira:you will apologize to her when next time she comes here,okay Ansh?..........she is a sweet girl so didn't mind it neither told me but as a good boy,you should apologize na?

Sidhansh:I will apologize to her

Sidhansh said with a small smile and accepting his mistake. Samaira patted his shoulder and stood up so that they both could leave.

Samaira:let's go nowwwww

Sidhansh chuckled hearing her cute baby voice and saw her leaving his room..But before he could leave,his sight fell on his study table.He rushed towards it and carefully tugged it in.He was thankful that nobody had saw it.

Some things are better kept hidden!!
*********************
Sana:I see the siblings are bonding too well today,no fights also

Samaira:hum kyu larenge,naazu

Samaira asked shrugging her shoulders while Shehnaaz just rolled her eyes.She stopped typing in her laptop and kept it aside.Now,paying complete attention to them only.Sidharth was busy in the kitchen making coffee for himself also came out.

Sidhansh:naazu,we are going out......we will come back-

Sidhansh looked at Samaira as if gesturing her to say the time.Samaira grinned and then replied.

Samaira:soon,byeeeee

Samaira was all ready to rush from there as she feared her plan will get ruined now.She held Sidhansh's hand and started leaving with him but they heard Sidharth's shout.

Sid:SAMAIRA STOP

Samaira:gayi bhes pani mein(murmur)

Sidhansh:bhes?

Samaira:bhes,ye kya bol raha hai Ansh.......I know tu uloo jaisa dekhta hai but bro,bhes kuch zyada nahi ho jayega.....anyways she is female also

Sidhansh:main kyu kudh ko bhes bolunga? I mean aapne bola na

Samaira:why will I say?

Samaira ignored his words and went towards Sidharth to stop him from ruining her plans.

Samaira:we are just going to the nearby park for an evening walk,pakka jaldi aa jayenge

Sid:no,you both won't go-

Sidhansh:but dad,why?

Sidharth huffed and gave a stern look to Sidhansh for not letting him complete his sentence.But from the other side,he received a smack and glare for doing so.

Sid:Shehnaaz, sun toh bey phele meri baat......phele hi maar rahi hai tu mujhe

Samaira giggled hearing him but one look from Sidharth, she stopped immediately.

Sid:So I was saying ki tum dono akele nahi ja rahe ho,me and Shehnaaz will also join you.......what say Shehnaaz?

Sana:I would love to,just let me complete this real quick

Shehnaaz said excitedly as she was also happy that they could spend some quality family time after a hectic week of work.Sidharth also decided to finish his coffee till then.Sidhansh lazily dropped himself on the sofa waiting for them.Only one person was not happy with this because she had planned something else.

Samaira(murmurs): yaha maine socha tha ki agar main aur Ansh bahar jate hai toh finally they both will get some alone time,their private time.........yaha main hastag sidnaaz moments banane chali thi aur inhone hastag family moments bana diya........Samaira tere plan pe toh tere hi papa ne pani fer diya,itne unromantic kyu hai ye yaarrr

Yes,it was Samaira's plan to go out with Sidhansh leaving Sidnaaz alone in the home so that they could have some time just for themselves. Nobody disturbing them,nobody for whom they had to think ,it would have been them.Just them.Alas!her plan didn't work out.

But do you really think Samaira would give up so easily?

Samaira:Naazu,why don't you complete your work?..........your work is important baba,we will go out as a family some other day

Sana:but Samaira it's almost complete........I will-

Samaira:no,no I will not hear any excuses.......do your work nicely

Samaira said acting like a mother who is ordering her child to complete her homework.On the other hand,she also started thinking something to stop them from going with them.

Shehnaaz gave her a look of disbelief not understanding Samaira's changed behavior.She felt something fishy but didn't give much attention to it as her work was more important to be completed.As soon as she would be done with her work she would be able to go with them so picked up a fast pace.

Samaira:dad have you completed proofreading my project which I had emailed you?

Sid:You need to submit it after two days Samaira, I will read it today surely

Samaira's lips pulled up in an unnoticeable evil smirk as she finally got something that might stop her plan from ruining. She made a sad pout and looked at Sidharth with her puppy eyes.

Samaira:dad why don't you complete it now?

Sid:I will do it later Samaira,I promise to give it to you by tomorrow

Samaira:NO

All eyes snapped at her direction hearing her loud shout to which she awkwardly chuckled. Samaira sighed and then looked at Sidharth with a smile.

Samaira, you don't have to make them suspicious!!

Samaira:dad please complete it now na till then me and Ansh will be back

Sidhansh:now where are we going?

Samaira:the park,Ansh

Sidhansh:but didn't dad say that he and naazu will join us?

Please God,can I slap him?

Samaira clenched her hands,gritting her teeth she gave Sidhansh a forced smile while her eyes glared at him.She was so close in succeeding in her plan but Sidhansh was being a raaste ka kata for her now.

Samaira:Sidhansh they will join us later,baro ko unka kaam karne do phele.......chalo sabbash,utho

Sidhansh looked at her confusingly and just followed her outside with a blank look.Now,he was also sure his not so innocent sister was planning something big.Her devil mind can't be quiet for so long.

Sana:something is fishy

Shehnaaz said after Samaira had left.She closed her laptop and leaned on Sidharth's shoulder as her work was finally finished now.Her hand intertwined with Sidharth's free hand.

Sid:I know right

Sana:then why didn't you stop her?

Sid:maybe because she doesn't want me to go with her and I was selfish to hear it from her mouth

Sidharth said without looking at Shehnaaz for a minute also.He wanted to deny to his own words but innerly, he knew a part of him still thought that Samaira is not comfortable with him and doesn't want to live with him.His eyes still carried the fear of losing her again.

Little did he know about Samaira's actual evil mind and plans!!

Sana:Sidharth muh tor dungi aab.......shut up esa kuch nahi hai,it is something else,saare ache mood ka khachra kar diya

Shehnaaz said annoyed by Sidharth's overthinking mind .She knew Samaira had completely accepted Sidharth but didn't knew when Sidharth will realize it. She can't see any of her family members in pain now.They all had a rough past and it's over. It was enough. She wished she could remove all his insecurities but knew for that matter ,Sidharth would have to first stop thinking so low of himself,,he is loveable and everyone loves him.

She turned away from him as her sweet mood turned into a sour one.

And all credits goes to him!

Sid:acha baba,I am sorry.......I am solly baby,apne bebu ko maaf nahi karegi?

Sidharth said in his baby voice and wrapped his arms around her from back.A ghost smile appeared on Shehnaaz's face but she quickly hid it before he could see it.

Sana:aab no negative thoughts

Sid:fine aab uth

Sana:kaha?

Sid:Shehnaaz uth na yaar

Shehnaaz whined and huffed before getting up.She gestured him to walk so that she could follow him but to her astonishment, he shook his head.She looked at him baffled and before she could react,Sidharth covered her eyes with his hands.

Sana:Sidharthhhhh

Sid:do you trust me?

Sana:Sidharth, kya kar raha hai tu?

Sid:you do or not?

Sana:I do baba

Sid:then just walk slowly and trust me

Sidharth tapped her shoulder to start walking.She slowly started walking with her hand on Sidharth's hand.He carefully guided her to her room protecting her from colliding with any other thing.Shehnaaz was nervous as she wasn't able to see anything but her heart also warmed thinking about her man. As she crossed the hall,she felt herself not colliding with any wall making her realize that he could never intentionally or unintentionally hurt her.A feeling of pride crossed her heart making her believe her choice was right.

My choice is the perfect choice I could ever make for myself!!

Sana:aab kholu?

Sid:yes,slowly

She shivered as Sidharth's raspy voice entered her ears and his lips almost touching her earlobe.His hands now on her waist making her collide with his chest.She shrugged all the butterflies and opened her eyes,slowly.

Yellow light of the beautiful fairy lights filled her eyesight completely. Her eyes roamed around the whole room as she carefully registered everything in her mind.Moving out of his embrace,she touched the shining, yellow stars,her eyes filled with fascination.Her whole room illuminating with those lights making it more beautiful and shiny.Like a kid,she jumped around and excitedly looked towards Sidharth.

Sana:Sidharth,kitna sundar hai sab

Sid:pasand aaya tujhe?

Sidharth was standing there seeing his sweet munchkin with a smile.Her excited face,her eyes filled with fascination and her lips curved into a beautiful heartwarming smile was worth watching.The best reward he could get! He snapped out of his staring session when he heard her call his name.

Teri smile ke liye kuch bhi karunga,Shehnaaz!!

Sana:bohot.......I love you

Shehnaaz hugged him tightly and wrapped her hands around his neck.Sidharth held her protectively in his arms while her legs remained wrapped around his torso.A wide smile came on both their faces.

Sid:thori dher balcony mein baithe?

Sana:hmm

She mumbled softly,her head remained in his neck.He inhaled a deep breath controlling himself.He felt herself not wanting to climb down so he held her securely and went towards the balcony.There,Shehnaaz slowly unwrapped her hands and sat on the comfortable mattress which she had kept there because during some nights when she wasn't able to sleep ,she used to come there.Sidharth also sat beside her but then quickly changed his position, keeping his head on her lap.Shehnaaz sighed softly and giggled while caressing his hairs softly.

The whole balcony was also shining because of the lights making their faces also glow with them.The sky had grown dark now but the light didn't allow the darkness to touch them.Their laugh and talks echoed in the balcony and the silent evening was no more silent.

Sana:kuch ga

Sid:no

Sana:gana please

Sid:nahi

Shehnaaz huffed but then smirked evilly as a thought came in her mind.She took few strands of his hair and pulled them making Sidharth let out a scream.

Sid:abbey gadhi,baal chorh mere

Sana:no phele tu ga

Sid:baby please

Sana:no bebu,first sing

Sid:Samaira and Ansh ko bhi toh lene jana haina,dekh kitna adhera ho gaya hai?

Sana:Samaira ne kaha tha wo call kar degi and it's just 5:00 pm now

Sid:tu nahi manegi?

Sidharth asked her for the last time to which Shehnaaz shook her head vigorously.

Sid:fine,aab baal chorh

Shehnaaz giggled and left his hairs but her hands remained in his hairs caressing them yet again.

Ehsaas ki jo jubaan ban gaye
Ehsaas ki jo jubaan ban gaye
Dil mein mere mehmaan ban gaye
Aap ki tareef mein kya kahe
Aap humari jaan ban gaye
Aap humari jaan ban gaye

Aap hi rab aap imaan ban gaye
Aap humari jaan ban gaye

As his soft tunes reached her ears,she also started humming with him.Her heart filled with love yet again.She smiled at him for choosing this song.Really,he has become her jaan now.She couldn't imagine her life without him.He is her love,her biggest supporter,her heart,her partner and a person whose face she first wants to see every morning after she wakes up.

Qismat se humein aap humdam mil gaye
Jaise ki dua ko alfaaz mil gaye
Socha jo nahin woh hasil ho gaya
Chahun aur kya ke khuda de ab mujhe

They indeed have came a long way.From forgetting love to having their life filled with love,from crying over first love to experiencing love again and in a more beautiful way.From losing hopes to find love to holding hands of their love,their soulmate. Soulmate,someone whom they had thought already meet and lost also.But how wrong were they in this!!Their destiny was just testing them and making them more strong and now finally,it has brought them close to their soulmate.

Rab se mila ek ayaan ban gaye
Khwabo ka mere muqaam ban gaye
Aap ki tareef mein kya kahe
Aap humari jaan ban gaye
Aap humari jaan ban gaye

Sidharth smiled while singing the next lines.His dreams of finding his true soulmate has become true and he couldn't be more grateful for it.Shehnaaz is everything he could ask for in his soulmate and about her flaws? He is gonna happily accept her with them.Because,a person's flaws completes him/her,no one is born perfect.

Aap hi rab aap imaan ban gaye
Aap humari jaan ban gaye

Deen hai ilaahi mera maan hai maahi
Main to sajda karun unko
Arz rubaani meri farz gawahi
Meri ishq hua mujhko

She lowered her head and rubbed both their noses together.Pepping soft kisses on his cheek,a moment later.Their love blooming every second and every day without their own knowledge.

Deen hai ilaahi mera maan hai maahi
Mai to sajda karun unko
Arz rubaani meri farz gawahi
Meri ishq hua mujhko

As his words stopped,her lips clashed with his taking him in a deep,passionate kiss with their hands interlocked.............
************************
Sana:Samaira,kaha ho tumlog?

Shehnaaz asked in a tensed voice as she walked on the path inside the park holding Sidharth's hand.It was quite late so when Samaira and Sidhansh didn't reach home,they both only moved out to search for them.

Samaira:have you seen the park's pond?

Sana:yes and what the hell are you both doing there in the dark?

Samaira:just come there naazu

Samaira said and disconnected the call.Sidhansh who was confused and unsure about her plan again shook his head disagreeing with her.Samaira huffed and just dragged him with her.

Samaira:Ansh bas kuch dher ki baat hai aur main toh hu yaha.....kuch gadbad nahi hoga

Sidhansh:aap ho isliye toh tension hai(murmurs)

Samaira:kya?

Sidhansh:kuch nahi

Samaira:ok then,let's be quiet I think wo log aa rahe hai

Kya six sense hai bhai?

Sidhansh thought in his mind and shook his head looking at her.God only knew what will happen to them now.

*

Sana:usne kaha tha wo yahi hogi?

Sid:itne adheere mein?

Sidharth asked looking around the pond now filled with darkness.He believed it would look more beautiful if they had come a bit early.But still it was looking beautiful and had a calm atmosphere. It was towards the end of the park and thought how did Samaira and Shehnaaz got to know about it.

Sid:btw how did you both found this pond?

Sana:one evening we were just randomly walking here and found this pond......I don't know if anybody knows about this pond also or not?

Sid:I don't think so anybody does

Sana:Sidharth kaha hai ye dono,mujhe nahi dekh rahe

Sid:itni jaldi tang aa gayi mere bacho se?

Now registering everything thoroughly in his mind,Sidharth knew Samaira was planning something. He was aware of his daughter's behavior.And before coming to the park,he had received her text asking him to trust her.This cleared the rest of his doubts.So that's why now he was behaving as a chill dad.

Sana:Sidharth, tang mat kar

She again opened her phone in order to dial Samaira's number.Her anxiety and fear of losing them only increasing as the darkness was increasing. She knew her heart won't be at rest until she saw them infront of her eyes.But before she could call her up,Sidharth snatched her phone.

Sana:Sidharth,kya kar raha hai?

Sid:tu shant ho phele......Samaira ne message kiya tha mujhe,they are coming here in 5 minutes,wo Samaira ne skateboard bench pe chorh diya tha,wahi lene gaye the wo log

Sidharth lied innerly hoping Samaira and Sidhansh would come soon.

Sana:toh phele bolna chahiye tha.....tujhe pata hai main kitna dar gayi thi

Shehnaaz said finally sighing in relief and wrapped her hands around his body,keeping her head on his chest.Sidharth chuckled hearing her and patted her head .

Sid:tu abhi se tang aa gayi,poori zindagi kaise jhelegi baby?

Shehnaaz looked at him being startled by his sudden question.She was now sure some bug had bit the Shukla family.

Sid:dekh abhi bhi time hai,tu chahe toh peeche hat sakti hai warna puri life tujhe bacho ko jhelna parega plus ek short tempered,kharoos aur ziddi insaan ko bhi jhelna parega.....bol,are you ready for the task? Agar tera decision phir bhi humare sath rehne ka hua toh I promise I will always be by your side......soch le Shehnaaz shaadi ke badh I won't let you back out,I will be yours and you will be mine,completely mine

Sana:bohot gandi timing hai teri but are you seriously proposing me?

Shehnaaz asked hopefully,her fingers crossed behind her back.Sidharth looked into her eyes and saw her nervousness and fear inside it.He held her both hands infront of him and squeezed them.His fingers drawing circles on them,his lips stretched upwards in a beautiful smile.

Sidhansh:Sam, I feel something crawling on my leg

Sidhansh whispered in Samaira's ears and moved uncomfortably.

Samaira:Sidhansh,you are hallucinating.......sanp wamp yaha nahi hai,chill

Sidhansh:agar hua tha?

Sidhansh whisper yelled hearing her.How lightly she was taking all this while on the other hand,he was freaking out.

What if it's an actual snake?!!

Sid:wahi samaj le aur abhi toh bola ye family bohot ajeeb hai so soch le.......will you,Shehnaaz gill move in with me officially as Shehnaaz Sidharth Shukla?

Shehnaaz looked at him flabbergasted.Her lips wanted to stretch upwards in a smile but her mind remained confused,not completely understanding what happened at that moment. Her heart was in a daze thinking if it was a dream because she remembered, they both had decided to give more time to each other.Indeed,she was happy but didn't knew how to react.She wanted to scream standing on top of a hill's cliff but felt as her voice was stuck somewhere.She had dreamt of this day and when it actually was happening, she didn't knew how to react.How ironic!!

Sidhansh:Sam,Sam

Samaira:Ansh shhhh,can't you see how important scene is happening infront of us?

Samaira who was sitting close to them with Sidhansh hiding in a bush was highly engrossed in the scene. Her mind was just concentrating at that moment on Shehnaaz's answer.She was also surprised hearing Sidharth's question but also excited at the same time.

Dad ne toh sixer mar diya.......he is smart just like me!!

Sidhansh:it's a snake,surely it's a snake

Samaira:snake wnake nahi milte yaha,ansh

Sidhansh:but

Shehnaaz eyes blinked as she took a deep breath and opened her mouth to say something.

Sana:I-

Sidhansh:SAM IT'S REALLY A SNAKE

Sidhansh yelled and ran towards Sidnaaz leaving Samaira behind.She huffed at this drama king and looked around her carefully examining the place.She was annoyed at him for ruining the romantic moment.

Little brat!!

Sid:Samaira get out of there

Sidharth and Shehnaaz also got scared hearing his scream.Shehnaaz quickly left everything and comforted Sidhansh who was shivering.Sidharth looked with disbelief at the girl who was still hiding behind the bush.

Samaira:wait dad,I am finding the snake

Sana:has she gone mad?

Sidhansh:do you have a doubt in that,naazu?.........ofcourse, she has

Sidhansh replied to her question almost immediately. He had enough of Samaira today and promised himself to not be a part of her plan next time.He was really horrified thinking what if the snake actually bit him.He didn't feel the thing biting him but there was fear inside of him.

Sid:SAMAIRA I SAID GET OUT OF THERE

Samaira:fine waise bhi there is no snake

Samaira sighed in annoyance and moved out of the bush.She also walked towards Sidnaaz and glared at her plan spoiler.

Thori dher badh nahi chilla sakta tha ye?!!

Sid:we are going home now

Samaira:but naazu's ans-

Sana:Samaira,it's decided we are going home......no more questions

Shehnaaz heard her huff and they all started walking towards their home. Samaira and Sidhansh walking infront of them,quarreling with each other.Shehnaaz shook her head in disbelief and looked her other side.She raised an eyebrow seeing Sidharth staring intensely at her.

Sid:my answer

Sidharth leaned closer to her ears and whispered making Shehnaaz blush immediately at his words.She looked the other side to stop her cheeks from getting more red.

Sana:soch ke bataungi

A sly smile appeared on her lips while he chuckled shaking his head.

No words exchanged yet they knew what was in other person's mind.

It was their way!! Their way of proposal!! Their way of accepting each other!!........a silent yet unique one!!

Samaj ke bhi na samaj main saku
Saveero ka mere tu suraj lage
Tu mera koi na,hoke bhi kuch lage
Tu mera koi na,hoke bhi kuch lage

Apna bana le piya,apna bana le piya
Apna bana le piya
Dil ke nagar mein shehar tu basa le piya..................
