Guess who updated early? Mee!!!

Mai khush toh kasam se aise horahi hu jaise ek din mai do part daal diye ho...

Itni umeede mat rakho mujhse kyuki-

Mere liye ek update dene ke baad dusre hi din next update likhna chalu karna bohott badii baat hai... So yaa!💁‍♀

But the reason I have rushed this update is becauseee...
We completed 100K READS on this book!!

Its surreal! Cos I started writing this book like just 2 months ago!😭❤

Thankyou thankyou to everyone who is reading this right now.

Also, mera rona toh chalta rahega tun update padhlo!😂😂

So here it goes!!

It was weekend and as a ritual Sana was at Sid's place with his mom.

They sat on the dining for dinner, Sana serving them.

"Sana teri shoot kaise chal rahi hai baccha?" His mom asked.

"Filhaal bohot hectic chal raha hai. Break time bhi kam.kar diya hai aaj kal." she said tired.

"Baby break time kam kar diya matlab? Mai baat karu?" he asked as a reflex.

"Sidharth! Baby?" she whispered embarrassed eying at his mom.

"Kya? Usme kya hai? Ma ko konsa nahi pata?" he shrugged.

She eyed him something while he nonchalantly gestured her back.

"Kya, score kya hua tum dono ka?" Sid's mom asked breaking their trance.

"Score!?" both of them asked together.

"Nahi Dumbcharades chal rahi hai na dono ki? Toh socha score puchlu" she laughed.
(Shukla ji ko aise hi thodi one liners ka vardaan mila hai? Genes mai hai...)

"Isko chodo... Ma kal mujhe thodi der shoot jaana padega."

"Parr kal toh sunday hai na baccha?"

"Haa parr shoot bohot hi hectic chal raha hai, female oriented short film hai toh mere scenes kaafi jyada hai. Toh unhone schedule thoda tight rakha hai." she said tired.

"Toh tu rest kab karegi? Pura hafta kaam kar rahi hai tu." sidharth said concerned.

"But hardwork is the key, isnt it Mr. Shukla?" she said flicking her hair.

"Haa haa, mere hi line mere pe thop ke badi rani ban rahi hai." sid said annoyed.

Sana and his mother laughed at their antics.

Sidharth was eating when his phone buzzed.
Hey Sid, I am planning for a reunion of our BB gang. Lets meet tomorrow? Maybe lunch at souk?

"Shehnaaz, yeh dekh Shefali ka message..." he passed his phone to Shehnaaz.

"Bata kya keh rahi hai teri Shefali..." she said and he grunted at that tone.

"Kya hua? Kya keh rahi hai Shefali?" his mom asked noticing Shehnaaz.

"Shez inviting us for reunion... Souk mai invite kar rahi hai sabko but you know table milna and all is very difficult. " he said to his mom.

"Toh bahar kyu jaa rahe ho tum log? Yahi bula lo na sabko, we'll host them. Anyways teri jeet ki party hojayegi tere housemates ko, what say?" his mom suggested.

Shehnaaz went unusually quite, her face was visibly pale. No it was not that she was scared of them but those people gave her a headache.
(Me too! Sarr dard hai sab ke sab, well except one... Humari pyari Himanshi. Woh sarr dard kaise ho sakti hai? Woh toh ovaries mai dard hai. So sorry for this lame joke😂)

"Yeh kar sakte hai... What say Shehnaaz?" Sidharth asked her again.

"Ha? Haa... Haa ye karte hai." she gave a half hearted smile.

Sid's mom gestured him to call Shefali up to inform about it.

"Hey, Ya Shefali. Woh kal ke plan mai thoda change karte hai... Haa, woh mom anyway wanted to invite you all for a party toh you all come here na." he quickly told her the plan.

"Oh wow, nice plan Sid! But there's Asim also, So..." she hesistated.

"Doesnt matter yaar, what happened in biggboss stays there. Its a celebration. Aur kon kon hai?" he inquired.

"Arre bass vahi sab, Paras, Mahira, Asim, Arti, Vishal, etc." she just mentioned them.

"Oh okay, so see you all tomorrow?" he ended the call.

"Chalo Mom hogaya fix." he sighed.

Sana lifted her plate and walked to the sink.
"Mai room mai hu, thoda kaam hai... Kaushal ka message aane wala tha toh mai aati hu" she walked into the guest room which was practically now Shehnaaz's room.

"Isko kya hua beta?" Sid's mom asked.

"Mom, you know na... Shefali, arti, paras, mahira in sab se uski nahi banti and she is at not fault too. Unhone ki hai aisi harkate." he sighed.

He walked to her room quitely,
"Baby, yaha aa."

"Kya hua Sidharth? Kaam hai mujhe..." she askes irritated.

"Baby sunn, woh log yaha sirf ek din ke liye aayenge woh bhi just for sometime." he pulled her closer.

She so wanted to not show that it affected her but who was she kidding? It was Sidharth and that man could read her like a  freaking open book.
"Ughh Sidharth, I just hate them. Woh na kisiko neeche girane ke liye khud itna neeche girr jaate hai ki ghinn aati hai unse."

"Tujhe abhi bhi lagta hai unke kuch kehne sunne se hum dono mai koi farak aayega?"

"Teri baat kon kar raha hai? Nonsense aadmi. Mai Maa ke baare mai soch rahi hu. Jitna hum dono unko jante hai ye tujhe bhi pata hai aur mujhe bhi woh kal Maa ke samne pakka kuch ulta sidha bolenge mere baare mai... Soch unko kaisa lagega aisa sunke? Mai bohot close hogayi hu unke Sidharth, mai nahi chahti woh mere baare mai bura soche..." she cried a bit.

What was this woman? She was crying for his mother?

Most of the ladies he has dated were of opinion that parents are not important in a couple and now look at her. No wonder his mom loved her so much.

"Tujhe na maar padegi Shehnaaz ab mujhse... Hakk se pyar kar sakti hu toh hakk se maar bhi sakti hu." his trance was broken as his mom entered the room.

Thank heaven for their distance, he wouldnt want to face his mom if they sat how they usually did.

"Maa? Woh mai..." she wiped her tears roughly.

"Yaha aa, baith yaha pe." she made her sit closer to her wiping her tears.

"Mujhe koi bhi aake mere bacchi ke baare mai kuch bhi kahega toh mai maan jaungi? Aur itna time saath spend karne ke baad tune socha kaise ki mai unki baat sunungi?" she asked faking stern tone.

Shehnaaz hugged her by her waist keeping head in her lap.
"Woh kuch bhi bole mai janti hu na tu kya hai? Mujhe kabhi nahi laga tha ki iss janam mai mujhe ye bolne ka mauka milega parr..." she looked at Sidharth who was in aww of both the women.

"Good choice Sidharth. Your first good choice and the last one." she patted her cheek as they both went red with the sudden declaration.

"Oh hello, Ma beti? Hato... Sala maa meri hai, ye dost meri hai firr bhi mujhe hi nikal diya frame se?" he squeezed himself between them as both the ladies hugged him from either sides.
(Dost kyu bola? Maa baithi hai yaar saath. Ab aur kya hi bole bichara!😂)

They had a little chit chat session which turned inti gossips session between the saas and hone wali bahu.

Next Morning

"Sidharth jaldi bol kya pehnu aaj ke lunch ke liye?" she looked through her clothes.

"Kuch bhi pehen le na baby, achi hi dikhegi..." he said not even looking at it once.

"Yeh pehen lu? Acha hai, off shoulder aur pretty bhi hai.." she showed him a lemon yellow bright deep neck off shoulder top that would end just by her belly area.

"Naa, nahi... Ye nahi. Bohot hojayega..." he declined.

"Hmm vaise lemon yellow thoda bright toh ho hi jayega lunch ke liye. Toh ye pehen lu? Yeh bhi acha hai... Netted bhi hai aur cool bhi hai colour." she showed him a baby pink colour netted crop top.

"Yeh? Yeh top hai? Itna sa koi top hota hai? Aur kapda hai kaha isme? Sirf net hi net hai... Macchar daani lagegi... Nahi, yeh nhi pehen sakti tu..." he denied yet another top.
(Shukla ji ki aakhein bahar aagayi😂)

"Toh tu hi nikal de! Yeh nahi woh nahi... Top ki model se jyada tante toh iske hai. Nakhre noor jahan ke..." she cursed him.

"Nakhre kiske? Anyways... Ye pehen le na. Dekh, sahi toh hai. Mast hai." he pulled out a loose t shirt.

It was a loose baggy tshirt she carried for night, it literally said Nothing to Regret in bold. How the hell was she supposed to wear it to a freaking get together? 

"Mr Shukla mai yeh pehnungi? To a party? Mai sleepover nahi jaa rahi... Party hai party! Tu na chahta hi nahi hai mai achi lagu... Teri woh kanta laga aur arti aayengi ban than ke aur tu chahta hai mai aisi lagu..." she was damn angry at him.

"Haa toh sabke samne tu aisi jaali wale kapde pehenke sexy lagegi toh.. " he stolled as he realised his blunder.

Her anger melted at that instance,
"Toh?"

"Toh kya? Tu aise itni achi lafegi toh log tujhe hi dekhenge na pagal aur tujhe iss netted... Whatever macchar daani mai dekhne ka exclusive hakk sirf mujhe hai..."  he pulled her closer.
(by all he means Vishal and Asim just if you dont already know!😂)

"Hatt Sidharth! Kapde lene hai..." she laughed as she pulled out a blue frilly top which was decent enough to get Shukla ji's permission.

After some time,
Sana was hurriedly packing her handbag to leave for shoot.

"Shehnaaz kuch khale?" Sidharth shouted.

"Set pe kha lungi... Abhi late ho rahi hu. Byee baby." she wore her shoes.

"Oyee rukk, ye le. Mujhe pata hai tu nahi karegi set pe breakfast. Aur dhyan se jaana..." Sid's mom gave her a paratha's rolled in aluminium foil to eat.

"You are the best!" she kissed her cheek as she left running.

"Pagal hai ye ladki, itna late horaha tha toh khana banane mai help karne kyu rukk gayi?" Sid laughed at his little lady.

"Kyuki tere jaisi nalayak nahi hai, idhar aa kuch kaam kar mere" she pulled him in the kitchen.

In a few hours, the bell rang. They were already expectibg them any minute.

Sidharth opened the door to see  Paras, Mahira, Arti, Vishal, Shefali Zariwala, Asim and Himanshi standing there.

He called them all in and made them comfortable.

"Hey aunty! You are looking so beautiful" Shefali hugged Sid's mom.

"Namaste Aunty, I am himanshi." Himanshi moved forward while Sid's mom just gave her a smile.

Asim.came forward to hug him and Sidharth hugged him back,
"Long time man! I actually thought you wont invite ne here..." Asim said genuinely.

"Nah nah, what happened in BB stays there buddy. We're good." Sidharth assured him.

Paras looked here and there in the house before he spoke,
"Yeh hum itne hi jan hone wale hai na?" he asked hopefully.

"Haa, tum logo ne bulaya hai na sabko. Obviously." Sidharth sajd absentmindedly.

Sidharth's mom walked inside to get them some water. Sidharth definity noticed her annoyed face and he wondered what went wrong?

"Baitho baitho... Mai maa ko paani laane mai madat karta hu. Dekhlo achese, mai karta hu kaam." he said making everyone laugh.

He walked behind his mom to find her still frowning,
"Kya hua maa? Itna annoyed kyu hogaye?" he whispered.

"Yeh bhi aayi hai? Yeh kabse itna close hogayi tumhare group mai?" she pointed quitely towards Himanshi.

"Asim ki girlfriend hai Maa, toh woh bhi aayegi na uske saath... Parr aapko kya hogaya?" he said clearly confused as to who his mom was bothered by Himnshi.

"Mujhe nahi pasand woh, usne nere bacche ko kitna bura bhala bola hai, kitna pareshan kiya hai..." she put all glasses un the tray ready to leave.

"Maa I think you are mistaken, woh Himanshi ne mujhe kabhi kuch nahi bola hai, sirf woh ek frame wala task chodke."

"Teri baat kon kar raha hai? Mai Shehnaaz ki baat kar rahi hu... Bichari bacchi ko kitna pareshan kar diya tha iss ladki ne." he huffed in annoyance.

Sid was shocjed and yet so happy. A chuckle left his mouth as soon as he heard that.

"Aapko Asim se toh koi problem nahi hai jisse mai itna lada hu... Ye joh aap dono ne mujhe sideline kiya hai na, mujhe bilkul pasand nahi aaraha..." he teased her.

"Asim tera dost tha pehle aur firr dushmani hui tum dono ki... Himanshi uss ghar mai aayi hi Sana ko neecha dikhane thi. Aur kal dekha na usko kitni fikar hogayi thi iss sab ki." she smacked his head

"Maa kuch nahi hoga... Shehnaaz is over Himanshi now, dekhna agar kuch kiya toh Shehnaaz bhi suna degi... Chalo aap aap khana check karke mai jaata hu." he took the tray out with her.

Meanwhile,

As soon as both of them went in,
"Oye ek baat dekhi? Shehnaaz nahi aayi hai aaj..." Paras said.

"Mujhe toh pehle se hi pata tha Sid ka timepass hai woh. Usko pata nahi kya ummeede thi, bahar aake bhi dost rahenge and all. Abh dekho!" Arti said.

"Maine toh pehle hi kaha tha, she is not his type! Matlab even we didnt end up together then Shehnaaz toh uske type ki bhi nahi thi." Shefali flipped her hair.

"Shefu mai batati hu woh na bilkul aisi hi hai... Aap usse aur kya expect kar rahe the Aaru? Woh Sidharth ji ko use hi kar rahi thi. Mai janti hu na usko..." Himanshi said.

"Arre parr shayad woh aaj busy bhi hosakti hai na? Ya usko aaj aana na ho... Tum logo ke beech" Vishal said the last part inaudible.

"Mujhe toh lagta hai unka breakup hogaya, acha hi hai. Vaise bhi woh loyal nahi thi." Mahira peeped in.

Almost everyone hummed in agreement.

Sidharth came out at that moment giving them water and he had a seat with them.

"Aur batao guys, kya chal raha hai sabka after biggboss?" he asked settling down.

"Bhai woh... Tera aur Shehnaaz ka tut gaya na sab? I mean acha hi hua... Woh aisi hi thi bro, mai toh pehle hafte mai hi samajh gaya tha." he tried to synpathise.

"Haa Sidharth ji woh fame ke liye thi aapke saath, mujhse acha ab aur kisko pata hoga ye..." Himanshi faked her sadness.

Sidharth was about to blast at then when the bell rang and he already knew who it was. He sprang up to open the door.

Shehnaaz entered the house smiling with two bags in hands.
"Oh sab aagaye? Hey guys!" she smiled at them.

Sidharth hugged her tight showing the people what they missed,
"Sidharth hum hardly 4 ghante baad mile hai... Chal hatt." she laughed.

"Tujhe late kyu hogaya Sana?" Sidharth's mom asked.

"Mera khadoos director maa! Dimaag kharab kar diya hai usne... Woh chodo, ye lo mai sabjiya le aayi." she handed the vegetables to his mom.

The audience there was shocked to see the family atmosphere prevailing between them. Shehnaaz calling Sid's mom as Maa was something they werebt able to digest.

"Tu abhi yeh mat keh dena ki usne tujhe kal bhi shoot pe bulaya hai, mai chittar maar dungi usko... Hafte bhar se kaam kar rahi hai, aaram se baithi bhi nahi hai gharpe." Sidharth's mom asked Shehnaaz.

"Woh dene nahi wala tha parr aapke chittaro ke darr se de di chutti." she laughed as she washed her hands and came back.

"Humse bhi mil le Sana.." Vishal laughed.

"Maasi..." she hugged Vishal happily.

Asim hugged her too and she smiled at the rest of them.

She settled with all of them beside Sidharth, looked at Sidharth's stiff body she already knew that he was not in the best mood. And the reason was pretty clear too looking at their color drained faces.

Everyone sat and chit chatted about work after BB

"Maine toh break liya hai from work you know, mai abhi kuch jyada karna nahi chahti. I'll wait for good opportunities." Shefali Zariwala said.

"You have been waiting for that since 18 years now, after your kanta laga song. You should get back to work now." Sidharth said bluntly.

"Mujhe ek negetive role ka offer toh mila tha parr mujhe negetive karna nahi tha, I wanted to stay positive." Mahira said.

"Haa baaki kuch nahi toh atleast role toh positive ho..." Asim smiled at them.

"Aur Himanshi tum? Back to punjabi industry?" Sidharth's mom asked her.

"Uhh haa, woh humari apni industry hai toh waha toh rehna hi hai... Yaha bhi try kar rahi hu... Humari toh vahi industry hai na Shehnaaz, badi honest industry hai woh, audience unhi ko pasand karti hai joh layak ho." she smiled.

"Haa woh toh hai... Audience ussi ko pasand karti hai joh layak ho, Sana ko hi dekhlo... Biggboss mai itni baar nominations mai bhi aake humesha votes se bach hi jaati thi kyuki popularity thi na,  End tak votes pe gayi thi... Top 5 mai bhi Sidharth ne Paras ko daala tha. Apni mehnat se abhi Hindi industry mai bhi aagayi." his mom said casually knowing very well she had hit the rught spot.

Shehnaaz wanted to laugh but she bit her cheeks,
"Punjab ka, bahar ka, biggboss ka sabka badla legi maa." Sidharth whispered in her ears making her chuckle softly.

"Shefali! How is Parag? Kaisa hai woh?" Mahira asked.

"Paras and Simmba both are good, itna time mujhe miss kiya hai so right now I am just spending time with both of them" Shefali smiled.

"Aur maasi, tune aur madhurima ne kuch nayi tod fod ki ya nahi? Iss baar kya tuta? Sarr, haath, per ya firse bum?" she asked making everyone laugh.

"Nahii ab hum thoda durr se hi baat karte hai... Na haath use karte hai, naa chappal aur na hi frying pan." he laughed with her.

"Chalo abhi khana khale?" Sidharth asked everyone.

They were about to move to the dinner, Sana got up about to set the food.

"Sana, sabse pehle jaake apne baal bandhke aa... Pata nhi itni garmi mai ye ladki baal khule rakhke ghum kaise leti hai? Woh tere set wale hazaar product aur laga dete hai, toh baal kharab toh honge hi! Yaha aa, baith idhar abhi." Sid's mom ordered her authoritoverly.

Sana quietly walked to her and sat down near her legs. She quickly took her hair and tied it into a loose plate.

Everyone in the room had theur mouth hung open at this bond. They had never expected such a bond.

Another fun fact was all the other girls also had theur hair let loose and his mom obviously did not say anything to anyone of them other than Shehnaaz of course.

"Yeh Shehnaaz ne kiya kya hai yaha pe? I mean I have dated him and tab bhi honestly I could feel that aunty did not like me. I was never even close to her and now look at them!" Shefali whispered to Himanshi in disbelief

"Mai uski bohot purani dost hu, I mean hum dono pehle se jante the tab bhi itna closeness nahi raha kabhi. Mai toh uske ghar bhi ek do baar hi aayi hu..." Arti whispered too.

They finally headed to the table in silence. They ate their lunch laughing and enjoying their old memories.

"Aunty aap manoge nahi ye dono jab bhi ladte the dono pareshan kar dete the dusro ko... Sidharth kisipe bhi gussa hojata tha aur Shehnaaz ruth ke baith jaati thi." Vishal joked.

"Mai toh kabhi kabhi darr jaata tha kahi in dono ke jhagdo mai dono kisi aur ko naa maar de..." Asim joined Vishal.

"Kuch bhi..." Sidharth laughed along.

They finished their dinner as they were about to leave.

"Abhi hum nikalte ha aunty, itne time baad aapko milke bohot acha laga..." Shefali said.

"Haa aur Sidharth tum bhi contact mai raho humare, gayab hi hojate ho..." Mahira nudged Sidharth.

"Shehnaaz tum bhi aao kabhi back to Punjab. Mai toh jaa rahi hu, ek bade song ka offer mila hai na mujhe. Controversy ke baad toh tum aayi hi nahi..." she smiled cunningly.

"Uh, haa. Koshish karungi." Shehnaaz just let it be.

"Ye bass bolti hai, kaise karegi koshish. Yaha khudko kitne kaam pade hai tere. Abhi abhi short film mai lead kar rahi hai aur pata nahi kitne projects baaki hai. Ghumne jayegi madam..." he showed it like it was a taunt to Shehnaaz but everybody knew what he meant to say.

"Sana tujhe drop kardu?" Paras asked.

"Nahi nahi, usse toh kal chutti hai... Woh yahi rahegi aaj, bye!" His mom bid them bye.

Sana and Sidharth's mother walked back in laughing a bit while Sidharth walked them outside.

He pulled Paras back before they left,
"Paras aaj keh diya, vapis kabhi mat keh dena. Woh mere saath thi aur woh mere saath rahegi. Usko tum logo ke character certificate ki koi zarurat nahi hai." he said sternly, his eyes speaking for himself.

"Aur Himanshi ji, get a life probably. Aapki controversy toh khatam hogayi parr aapki baatein khatam nahi hui... Ho sake toh move on." he smiled.

He walked back to the house where Sana and his mom were laughing.
"Maate aap dhanya ho!" he laughed.

"Tum dono ne aaj mujhe bolne hi nahi diya... Mere bolne se pehle unko khud hi chup kara diya" she laughed.

"Aur nahi toh kya... Top ki actress hoti toh vapis train pakad ke punjab nahi jaa rahi hoti." Sidharth shrugged.

"No wonder Himanshi and Shefali get along well. Matlab dononek jaisi hi hai." Sidharth's mom said.

"Dono zehrili hai." Sana said making them laugh.

And they continued their evening in that fun
