Solly solly my dear readers for making you all wait so long🥺🤧......but the part is finally hereeeee💃💃

P.s. do read the note at the end
*******************
Sana dad:Soumya trust me,I am taking the right decision,hmm?

Sana mom:no you are not

She knew that Shehnaaz would hate her more now and maybe her husband would also not understand her.But she knew she was right at her place.Though Shehnaaz is mature,she is not so much mature also that she would be able take care of two children at the sametime. As a mother, she knew the hardships she had to go through to nurture and see that her children are getting the right upbringing but she truly failed while giving one this.Marrying a 10 year old elder man was not disturbing her so much because she and her husband also had a huge age gap.

But Rajesh didn't had any children!!

She knew Shehnaaz would be hating her for talking those things but that was her concern that she vented out in the form of those painful, hard words.

Sana dad:aab chalo bhi Soumya bahar sab tumhara intezar kar rahe hai

Sana mom:chalo

Smitha who was talking to Sidharth looked at the door from where she could see Shehnaaz's parents coming out.She smiled and moved towards Soumya.She gently held her shoulders and smiled before giving her the last assurance.

Smitha:aur maine jo bola waisa hi hoga Soumya ji,dono bache jab bhi shaadi karenge Shehnaaz ke wishes ke according hi karenge

Smitha said and gave a smile to both of them,understanding them.She said this because she knew that they both needed time and  wanted to discover more about their relationship before taking the big step.

Soumya:hmm

Soumya didn't wanted to let this happen but somehow she felt convinced by Smitha.Maybe because somewhere in her mind,she believed that being such an understanding mother to three children she wouldn't let other's child get hurt especially Shehnaaz.

Smitha:now we will take your leave

Sana dad:Sana,bache ek hafta toh ruk jati itne dino badh aayi thi

Sana:ruk jati dad but parso mere bohot important shoots hai so uske kuch last minute cheeze finalize karni hai but I promise I will visit you,soon........now smile

Shehnaaz grinned and also made her dad smile.He ruffled her hair and then hugged her for the last time.He didn't liked this distance between him and his daughter but understood that her work was important as well.

Sana dad:take care of everyone but don't forget to take care of yourself also

Sana:I will dad

Shehnaaz broke the hug and moved forward but stopped infront of her mom.Her mom looked at her thinking that maybe Shehnaaz would hug her also but Shehnaaz quickly turned around.She started moving towards Sidharth and Smitha totally ignoring her mom.

I can still hear those words ringing in my ears,I can't forgive you so soon,mom

Sid:mom ,let's go

Smitha:Sidharth, you and Shehnaaz go,I have some work in the NGO so I have to stay here for today

Sana:then we will also stay here only,aunty.......we won't leave you

Smitha:Shehnaaz, it's just a little work.....I will finish and meet you both at home,I have called up Prachi also she is even sending the driver......you both should leave

Sidharth:mom,you got well few days ago only.......is it so important?

Sidharth asked with concern lingering in his eyes.He couldn't afford his mom getting ill again.He only knows how he calms himself down whenever that day flashes infront of his eyes.The image of her,lying in the hospital with a pale face and almost with an inaudible voice.

Smitha:Sidharth, bacha that day had gone.......don't remember it and take unnecessary tension,I am absolutely fine

Sana:aunty-

Before she could say anything more,they were interrupted by a loud horn of the car.They all looked towards the car and a head peeped out of the car's window.

Sid/Smitha:di/Prachi

Prachi:hello,my sweet family

Shehnaaz looked at her confusingly. It was the first time she was meeting his sister.She observed how the cheerful woman came out of the car dressed in a simple yellow top and black pants.Prachi first hugged Smitha and then moved towards Sidharth, ruffling his hair making him scowl at her.Then,she stood infront of Shehnaaz. A nervous chuckle left her mouth and then she shook her head.

All the while,Shehnaaz was looking at her with confusion and with a slight smile now.

Prachi:Shehnaaz?

Sana:yeah and you are?

Prachi:Prachi,this idiot's sister........Sidharth this is so not done,you didn't tell Shehnaaz about me nor me about her.....I got to know about her from mom,you traitor

Sid:I was going to

Sidharth said while nervously scratching his nape while Prachi rolled her eyes.She again turned towards Shehnaaz and smiled at her properly before hugging her.

Prachi:it's a pleasure to meet you,Shehnaaz......I completely adore you after hearing so much about you from mom and Sidhansh......you really are so cute and beautiful,how did Sidharth even got you?

Sid:heyyyy

Sana:you are also beautiful, di......I can call you di?

Shehnaaz said with a chuckle after hearing Prachi's words.Prachi broke the hug and nodded at her.

Prachi:ofcourse and now hurry up ,you both are going to my house now

Sid:but di we were going back to Mumbai.......Samaira and Ansh are alone

Smitha:not alone,Samaira's friends are also with them

Sid:I don't trust that boy,mom

Sana:Sidharth

Shehnaaz said and then shook her head in disbelief .She really had thought that after being with Aditya for five days he would be comfortable now but no.

This man would never change!!

Prachi:did you really thought that you would come to Delhi and leave WITHOUT MEETING ME?

Prachi said putting more emphasis on "without meeting me". She glared at Sidharth and crossed her arms on her chest.Sidharth looked here and there to avoid her glare making Shehnaaz chuckle.

"Calm down Prachi and don't scare your brother so much"

They all looked behind as they heard a man's voice and saw a man sitting in the driver's seat and peeping his head out from the window now.Prachi sighed and gave him a tight-lipped smile.

Smitha:okay enough now......no more fighting, Sidharth go with Prachi,it's just a matter of one day and Prachi I told you to send the driver,where is he?

Man:mom,when your son is here then why would you need a driver?

Smitha:Akash,I told Prachi to not disturb you and it's okay,you could have just sent the driver

Prachi:mom,it's not my fault......like a sneaky person,he heard our conversation and came here saying "her son is alive and he will be there with her and for her".........and by the way,it's his holiday today

Smitha:Prachi

Akash:she is right,mom(chuckle)

Sana:hi jiju,I am Shehnaaz

Akash:oh finally I got to meet Sidharth's girl......hi Shehnaaz, I am Akash,Prachi's husband

Sidharth blushed hearing his jiju who also winked at him.Shehnaaz gave a shy smile and shook hands with him.

Prachi:okay,enough now let's get in......I will go with Sidharth and Shehnaaz in their car and mom will go with Akash.....hurry up,we have to go fast.....God knows what those two devils would be doing to my house

Akash:I think you made a mistake.....it's "children"

Akash said while innerly suppressing his laughter. He knew her sarcasm but didn't wanted to lose any chance to tease her.He only knows how much she had irritated him throughout their cardrive.He is not taking his revenge but he really do love to see her angrybird face when someone doesn't understand her sarcasm.

Prachi:hahaha, very funny.......no,they are not children....they are devils to me

Smitha:uff,kya karu main iss larki ka?.......apni hi bacho ko shaitaan bol rahi hai

Sid:I think we should leave now kyunki di ki baatein toh kabhi khatam nahi hogi

Smitha/Akash:true

Prachi:mummaaaa

Sidharth chuckled hearing Prachi whining and moved towards the driver seat to start the car.Akash and Prachi also went to their respective cars leaving just Smitha and Shehnaaz.

Sana:aunty take care and do call me when you reach the NGO

Smitha:okay,I will my bacha

Smitha embraced Shehnaaz in a warm hug while Shehnaaz also reciprocated it as she needed it a lot.

Smitha:She is your mother,Shehnaaz.......she is concerned for you,don't take her words to heart

Sana:but aunty,she said a lot of things about.....about....Samaira and kiddo

Smitha:I am not telling you to forgive her.....just don't give her a cold shoulder, hmm?

Sana:I will try

Shehnaaz broke the hug and gave a faint smile to Smitha who patted her head lovingly.Smitha went towards Akash's car while Shehnaaz sat on the passenger seat,beside Sidharth. She waved at her parents and proceeded with her journey.

I have to think about aunty's words but how can I forget mom's words?!!
*************
Prachi:Kabi,Trishu

Prachi yelled as soon as she entered her home only to hear two annoying voices of her children.

Kabir/Trisha:Mom,not again

Prachi:Shehnaaz and Sid please enter,inka toh chalta rahega

Sid:di why do you always talk about them like this?.......they are sweet

Prachi:Sweet?.....just go and see what they are doing

Prachi said while keeping her hands on her hips with an annoyed expression. Sidharth shook his head and after removing his shoes,he went towards their room.Shehnaaz also chuckled and went behind him.

Kabir:move aside girl,MOVE ASIDE

Trisha:stop distracting me as if by doing this you will win this round,loser

Kabir:oh yeah,let's see sista

Trisha:eww,sounds like pista

Shehnaaz and Sidharth stood at the doorstep seeing the two in amusement. Those two sixteen,nineteen year old teens were so engrossed in playing video games that they didn't even notice them.

Sana:they are sweet,huh?

Sid:they are

Sana:I can totally understand Prachi

Sidharth rolled his eyes hearing her and moved inside the room.

Sid:hello buddies

Trisha/Kabir:Mamuuuuu

Both dropped their devices on the floor and moved towards Sidharth.They hugged him with such a force that made him stumble but he composed himself. By seeing them,Shehnaaz knew one thing that they are really close to Sidharth.

They look so cute right now!!

Kabir:who is this beautiful lady,mamu?

Kabir asked on seeing Shehnaaz behind them with a small smile on her face.

Prachi:you will get to know about her when you close this stupid video game and come out for lunch

Prachi said on entering the room and glaring at the duo who made a whining face

Kabir/Trisha:Mom it's not stupid

Prachi:whatever......Sidharth go to your room and change before they stop you also to play with them

Sid:okay (chuckles).......bye buddies

Sidharth said ruffling Kabir's hair and moving out of the room.Shehnaaz stood by the door as she watched Prachi scolding the duo who in turn tried their best to persuade her to let them play one last game.

Kabir:mom please,one last time.....let me defeat her atleast once so that she won't taunt me

Trisha:you wish

Prachi:fine,one last time

They both yelled "thank you"in happiness and continued their game.Prachi huffed and smiled a bit seeing Shehnaaz on the doorstep.

Sana:it's tough,right?

Prachi:yeah

Shehnaaz once again looked at the teenagers and then something strike.She remembered Prachi telling her during the drive that Kabir is nineteen years old and Trisha is sixteen years old.So that means that Kabir is just two years elder to Samaira but how?

Prachi is elder to Sidharth by three years and then her marriage also happened quite earlier!!

Prachi:what are you thinking?

Prachi asked as if sensing her deep thoughts.Shehnaaz snapped out of her thoughts and looked at her.She hesitated as she thought that how she would ask this.

Sana:Kabir is just two years older to Samaira,how?......I don't mean any offense, just curious di

Prachi:No offense taken....waise bhi aab toh tum family ho so tumse kya chipana......after two years of marriage I came to knew I had complications in my pregnancy,phele do saal socha nahi cuz we both were so focused in our respective careers........there were quite chances of miscarriage so I didn't wanted to take risk,dil tuta tha when I used to see kids of my friends but Akash helped me a lot at that time........at a time,Akash even said "ki let's just do it once,I have trust in you.....kuch nahi hoga" But mujhse nahi hua,after our marriage five years we waited,I had gave up but one day,mom advised me to atleast try once,there were chances of miscarriage but there were chances of successfully giving birth also.......I took her advice and gave a chance with a lot of fright.......first few appointments went well and then everything started getting smooth even the doctor told me that nothing is bad now,my pregnancy will go nicely without any complications.......I can't say how happy I was at that time,after giving birth to Kabir we decided to wait for sometime then I had Trisha as Akash really wanted a daughter whom he could pamper and spoil.......he was so obsessed with Samaira that he even asked Sidharth if he could take her with him(chuckles)

Sana:I don't know what to say....I.....I

Speechless.

That was what Shehnaaz's condition now.She didn't knew what to say there.She was someone who hadn't even experienced pregnancy, miscarriage was another whole different thing for her.She didn't knew what to do,everything felt so foreign to her.

Sid:SHEHNAAZ

It was then they heard Sidharth's voice. Prachi wiped the few tears that had rolled down her cheeks remembering those dark five years but then when she looked at her two anmol ratan,a smile came on her lips.

Thank you God for blessing me with these two......no matter how annoying they are,I love them!!

Prachi:Shehnaaz go,Sidharth is feeling lonely without you(teasing)

Sana:diiii

Shehnaaz playfully glared at her and quickly went out of the room.She entered the third room as Prachi had informed her.She entered his room and saw him sitting on the bed with his changed clothes.

Sana:Sidharth, I was talking to di.....why did you call me?

Sid:because we have to TALK

Sidharth said stressing upon the word talk.Shehnaaz's eyebrows furrowed as she read the serious expressions on Sidharth's face.

He was good a moment ago......what happened?!!

Sana:what happened?

Sid:no you tell me,what happened?......did I fail to make you believe when I said that I would be there for you,with you......even in fulfilling your every dream, then why didn't you tell me about this dream?

Shehnaaz knew which dream he was talking about.She was purposely avoiding this topic and didn't told him because she knew they both were not ready for marriage.So why to talk about it even?

Sana:because I didn't wanted to make you uncomfortable

Sid:uncomfortable, seriously Shehnaaz?

Sana:yeah,ask yourself......are you ready for marriage or even better for a "lavish,big fat wedding"?

Sidharth stopped for once hearing her words.He repeated her words in his mind again and again.Was he ready? No.His heart replied his question.Even the word "marriage" reminded him of his past marriage.

People think they have moved on but does moving on actually means moving on? Hell no.
The fact is that they have accepted the truth and it pains less now but that doesn't mean that they have totally forgot it.Believe me or not,but the past,the people in your past still reside in a small,maybe a very very small part of your heart but they do.No one completely forgets anything.

Even Shehnaaz till today has not forgotten about her past relationships. That doesn't stop her or resist her from doing anything, just maybe makes her think twice before taking a big step.

And Marriage is indeed a big step for both of them.

Sana:and also priorities change with time and with person.......when I was a teenager or a young adult ,I thought fame,name was everything.......you will be only happy when you are famous so at that time,I thought if I will marry I will get love in the form of a loving husband and fame by marrying him in a lavish way,you know a marriage about which people will talk about.......a marriage where I could click hundreds of pictures of mine and post while writing "Bride to be" "My haldi function" "My wedding dance where I entered like a diva"........also at that time,I didn't knew what true love and happiness meant but I know it now......because of you

Sidharth heard her silently not interrupting nor laughing at her childishness.Shehnaaz paused for a while before fully keeping her heart infront of him.

Sana:Real happiness means being with your loved ones,the people who love you and genuinely care for you........doesn't matter if the marriage is simple or lavishly planned,a loyal, loving and caring husband matters at the end of the day........and I can truly say that I have found all those qualities in you Sidharth, I love you and I mean it......every bit of it

Sid:so you see me as your husband?

Sidharth asked in a playful manner ,just to ease the tension of the room.He felt somewhat relieved heating her or else he would keep thinking that he wouldn't be able to fulfill her most importantly wish.Every girl has her owns dreams for her marriage and he understands it.

So he would do anything to fulfill her  wish,her dreams.

Sana:you heard only that part not the other things,I said?(glaring)

Sid:I heard baba,so we are good?

Sana:we are......only you were not good,I was chilled earlier also cuz I was clear in my mind

Sid:how could I see your "clear mind"?......I am not a magician

Sana:whatever

Gadhi!!

Sid:now go and change,di has given me some of her clothes for you to wear

Sana:I love di

Shehnaaz shouted in happiness and instantly took those clothes.She was going towards the washroom but her phone ringing caught her attention. She moved towards the side table and picked it up.

Sana:Sidhansh?

Her eyebrows furrowed as she looked at the screen,Sidhansh was calling her.

Sana:hello Si-

Sidhansh:NAAZU PLEASE COME BACK HOME.....PLEASE

"No,I am not going to talk to you"

"Atleast listen to me o-

Sidhansh:GUYS NOT MY PHON-

These were the last words Shehnaaz heard before the line went silent.
