Shehnaaz woke up when sunlights fall on her face. She turn to other side but sat immediately as she feel pain. She took a deep breath and put her leg on floor but before she put her feet she hear his voice.

"Shehnaaz kya kar rahi ho?" He almost shout. She jump in fear and keep her hand on her heart.

"Are you mad?"

"What me no mad woman you're mad"

She glare him and try to get up from bed when she again feel herself in air.

"Sidharth leave me" she said angrily.

"Kiu do chaar haddiya aur tudwani hai?" He said and went towards the bathroom. "Fresh ho jaao jaldi se mein bahar hi hu okay". He make her stand on her feets and left. She closed her eyes and complete her morning chores. She try to put toothpaste on brush but it's difficult as she use her left hand. She huffed irritatingly and called him.

"Kya hua?"

"Ye toothpaste nahi lag raha" she pout sadly.

He Chuckle "laao do" he apply toothpaste on brush and put infront of her mouth she rised her eyebrows and asked what. "Muh kholo left hand se theek se brush nahi kar paogi mein karata hu"

"Nahi mein kar lungi adat hai mujhe".
She remembered her past when she accidentally burned her right hand still she do her work alone as no one was there to put ointment.

"Mein kar deta hu na" he start brushing her teeths, she look at through the mirror he doing his work like a professional. When she complete her brushing she asked him.

"Ek baat puchu?"

"Hmm" he was busy in cleaning the brush.

"Part time job karte the kya pehle?"

He look at her in confusion.

"Mera matlab itne concentration ke saath brush karwa rahe the aap jese expert ho" she said while controlling her laugh. He glare her.

"Wo isliye taaki tumhe lage na".

She look at him is he is the same guy who denied to accept her as his wife or he feel guilty for his act or he do it for just sympathy. Many questions are running in her mind. He told his mom to help her for changing her cloths. She did it lovingly.

"Shehnaaz neeche aa ja beta nashte ke liye" Rita maa said.

"Nahi aunty mein theek hu"

"Please" Sidharth said.

"Mom aap jao mein aata hu isko lekar".

She nodded and left.

"Shehnaaz Baal banau?"

She nodded without looking at him. He tie her hairs in a braid  they both went downstairs. Sanjana glare her. She ignore her and sat down there. Vidya serve her.

"Aunty mein le lungi"

"Beta kese legi tere haath me chot lagi hai na mein deti hu ruk" she serve her breakfast. Sidharth feed her. She eat silently. All day they try to make her feel comfortable around them.

At night Sidharth enter and saw her on couch, he frown looking at her.

"Shehnaaz yaha kiu so rahi ho?"

"I'm comfortable here" she said without looking at him.

"Shehnaaz aa jaao bed par"

"Kuch din ke shoq nahi palne mujhe".

"Yaar kya ho gaya hai chot lagi hai na tumhe"

She woke with jerk and look at him angrily.

"Kya problem hai haan yaad hai mujhe chot lagi hai baar baar yaad dilane ki zarurat nahi hai" she yelled at him. He look at her in shock.

"Shehnaaz baba kya ho gaya"

"Mera chodiye aap sab ko kya ho gaya hai Sidharth haan mera accident ho gaya to dar gaye sab ki kahi police complaint me aap sab ka naam na aa jaaye ya bahar walo ko dikhana hai ki kitna pyaar karte hai aap sab mujhse kal tak jo puri family mujhe ignore kar rahi thi aaj jab mera accident hua to sab ka pyaar bahar aa gaya kal tak jo husband mujhe accept nahi kar raha tha aaj achanak se mera itna khayal rakh rahe hai kiu janna hai mujhe kiu kar rahe hai aap sab mere saath aesa? Are natak hai na to band kar dijiye pls" she start taking high breath's because she is near to her panick attack she know this but she want her answers. She was fighting with her mind and heart since last night.

"Aesa sochti ho hamare baare me?" He asked calmly without showing her how much hurt he is with her word. He know it's his fault. He was the one who stop his family to talk with her.

"Haan sochti hu ye sab pata hai kiu kiuki aap aur aapki family hi thi jisne mujhe shadi ke din se unwanted feel karwaya kabhi accept nahi kiya khana tak nahi diya meine kuch nahi kaha tha kisi se lekin ab kiu sab achanak meri care karne lage hai kya chal kya raha hai aap sab ke dimag me aur wo aap hi the na jisne bola tha ki mujhe divorce denge i will always be unwanted for you to ab kiu ye sab?" She is crying mess and somehow control herself to not breakdown infront of him.

"Shehnaaz please listen to me" he try to touch her. But she step back.

"Pass mat aaiye mere Mr. Shukla aur ye natak band kariye pls nahi le sakti me ye sab" she wipe her tears harshly and went towards the balcony. He sat on the bed and cover his face with his palms and think how to fix everything he's messed up.

They both sleep again on their spots. Sidharth on bed and Shehnaaz on sofa.
Next morning she try to did her work alone but failed as doing things with left hand is not easy at all. He help her, they both didn't talk with eachother still he help her and she take his help helplessly she don't have any other option. He hold her hand and take her to the dining table. She try to protest but he didn't listen to her.

"Mom dad daadu shehnaaz ko ye puchna hai ki aap sab achanak iske saath acha kese behave karne lage jabki aap log usko ignore kar rahe the?" He asked directly to them. She widened her eyes and look at him.

They all smile looking at her. Rita maa make her sit on the sofa and held her hand.

"Dekh beta hume tujhse kabhi koi problem nahi thi haan shadi wale din gussa the actually bohot gussa the lekin hamara gussa najayaz to nahi tha na shadi koi mazak to nahi hai aur jab dono families me baat hui thi tab bhi tumhari behen shreya bhaag gai you know wo ek baar bolti na aakar hume to hum shadi tod dete lekin usne galat rasta chuna us waqt hume kuch samjh nahi aaya tha phir papa ji ko tere baare me pata tha unhone hi tere papa se bola tha ki wo teri shadi Sidharth se kara de sach bole to na Sidharth is situation ke liye ready tha na hum aur na tum phir bhi hum sabko ye karna padha majboori me hi sahi lekin jab tumhari shadi hui thi Sidharth se tabhi se tumhe is ghar ki bahu maan liya tha humne lekin maan me ek shaq tha ki tum shreya jesi na ho isliye Sidharth ne hume tumhe ignore krne bola aur hum sabne bhi bewakofo jese uski baat maan li man taiyaar nahi tha lekin dimag havi ho gaya bhul gaye the tu bhi ek insaan hai tu bhi sab chod chaad kar aai hai hamare liye hume maaf kar de beta" they all join their hands infront of her.

She stood up "ye kya kar rahe hai aap sab please mat kariye".

"Sach me shehnaaz beta humne tujhe bahu ke roop ke swikar kar liya tha lekin man me ek dar beth gaya tha kya karte, hume ek moka de de sab theek karne ke liye" dadu said.

She smile sadly "i understand dadu aap bhi ek stranger pr kese barosa karte but ek baar aap log mujhse keh dete mein kabhi is ghar me nahi aati aap logo ke saath aur sidharth ko divorce bhi de deti bina kuch kahe lekin mein bhi insaan hu na dadu mera bhi dil dhuka tha tuta tha jab aap sab ne mujhe ignore kara tha jab koi mujhse baat tak karna chodo mujhe dekh kar rasta mod leta tha sacchi bolu to is ghar se jaana ka socha tha lekin shreya jesi harkat nahi karni thi, aap logo ne second chance maanga mein de bhi du to bhi sab pehle jesa to nahi hoga na wo waqt nikal gaya hai aur kabhi wapas nahi aayega na, aur i need some time, mere liye aasan nahi hai dadu ye sab"

"Beta hum samjhte hai teri baat tujhe jitna time lena hai le lekin ho sake to hume maaf kar dena" ashok ji said.

She nodded and left for their room. She was sitting in balcony thinking about them when she feel someone by her side. She saw Sidharth sitting there. She was about to leave when he hold her hand.

"Sabko baat rakhne ka moka diya mujhe nahi dogi?"

"Nahi"

"Please ek baar shehnaaz"

"I'm not interested"

"Please"

"Ziddi" she mummer and sat down there. "Boliye jaldi"

"Samjh nahi aa raha kaha se shuru karu" he took a deep breath "meri family dekhi tumne?"

"Nahi andhi hu abhi tak dikhi nahi" she said sarcastically.

"Not now pls".

"Okay continue"

"Shehnaaz bachpan se apne maa baap ke bich apne dada dadi ke bich, chacha chachi ke bich meine hamesha pyaar dekha hai beintehaa pyaar, jhagda bhi dekha hai lekin jaha pyaar hota waha jhagda bhi hota hi hai na tumhe pata hai jab dadi ki death hui thi na dadu tut gaye the bohot buri tarha do saal lag gaye unko wapas normal hone me humne bohot try kara lekin kuch fayda nahi hua tha hamare cool dadu to dadi apne saath le gai thi lekin unhone dadi ke liye apne depression se overcome kiya hamare liye kiya lekin unki jagha kisi dusre ko nhi di aur yahi pyaar meine apni family ke har ek person me dekha hai uske partner ke liye vidyut bhai ki shadi hui thi bhabhi se arranged marriage thi wo bhi, neil mujhse chota hai lekin family ko avni pasand aa gai uski bhi shadi ho gai aur dono shadi ne work bhi kiya aaj bhi ek dusre par jaan chidakte hai saare".

"Aapki family history ho gai to mudde par aaye?"

He glare her but she ignored him, he continue "Mein bhi aesi hi wife chahata tha jo meri family ko pyaar kare mujhe kare hum sabke saath ghul mil jaye jesi baaki sab ladies hai isliye kabhi girlfriend nahi banai kiuki mein apna pyaar baatna nahi chahata tha kabhi meine apne aap ko sirf apni wife ke liye bacha ke rakha tha ek din ek rishte wali aai aur shreya ka photo dikhaya maa ko aur baaki sab ko wo pasand aa gai thi sach kahu to kahi na kahi mujhe bhi, apna pura future decide kar liya tha meine uske saath aur jab wo achanak gai to blank ho gaya tha sab, mera sapna jese tut gaya tha apne bure se bure sapne me bhi meine ye sab nahi socha tha normal life jeene wala banda hu aesa kuch hoga to yahi reaction aayega na?" He look at her who was already looking at him.

She nodded "meri life bhi to normal hi thi na Sidharth apni behen ki shadi attend karne gai thi aur apni kar ke aa gai i think ye normal to nahi hai jitna bura aapke saath hua utna mere saath bhi hua na aapki to fir bhi family thi aapke saath lekin mujhe to mera ghar chod ke aana padha na, lekin uske badle kya mila sasural walo ki ignorance,pati ka gussa" she chuckle sadly.

"Shehnaaz mein ye nahi kahunga ki tum sab bhul jaao ya mujhe maaf kar do because kehna aasan hai lekin krna mushkil, mein bass ye chahata hu ki hum life ki ek nai shurwat kare saath me?"

"Wah matlab sab aapki marzi se chalta hai na shadi wale din mujhe car me akela chod aaye, aate hi bol diya i don't considered you as my wife you're just and unwanted burden aur ab aap chahate hai ki mein wo sab piche chod du aur aapke saath nai shurwat karu socha bhi kese aapne" she yelled at the
End.

"Shehnaaz i know I'm wrong lekin mein bhi kya karta tumhe dekhta tha to shreya ki yaad aati thi not in a good way lekin uska betrayed yaad aata tha mujhe lagta tha ki kahi wo sab dubara na ho" he said helplessly.

"Aur isliye aapne mujhe itna sunaya itna kuch bola, ignore kiya, zalil kiya, lekin isme zara si bhi meri galti nahi thi ek baar ko meri galti hoti to mein chup chaap sab seh leti lekin meri galti ke na hote ye sab hua kese bhulu sab?"

"I'm sorry shehnaaz pls ek chance de do i know mein bohot bada bewakuf hu, gadha hu lekin pls one last chance sab thik krne ka try karunga".

She left without saying anything. He look at her retreating figure.
