The reception get over, now they are in their room. Sidharth is still angry with her why don't she take stand for herself.

Shehnaaz is going to chance but sidharth held her wrist on pulled her toward him. She get shocked with his action.

"Why did you not take stand for yourself haan jaanti ho tum mom ko kiu pasand aai thi isliye pasand aai thi kiuki unhone dekha tha tumhe apne liye stand lete hue to aaj kiu nahi liya?" He said angrily.

She take a deep breath then said "Kiuki jab baat meri thi ab hamari hai aur hamare saath do families bhi judi hai mein kuch bolti to wo log pehle to meri upbringing par bolte phir aapki family par bolte ki kesi bahu laaye hai isliye mein chup rahi" she pout and look down.

"Sana ye sochne ki bilkul zarurat nahi hai ki log kya sochte hai kya nahi wo chaar log koi matter nahi rakhte hamare liye wo kal bhi bura bolte the aaj bhi bolte hai aur aage bhi bolenge lekin tum chup mat rehna kabhi bhi self respect sabse upar hai samjhi".

Shehnaaz smile and hug him "thank you so much".

"Shehnaaz ye mat sochna kabhi bhi ke wo mere rishtedaar hai to mein gussa karunga balki mein ab zayda gussa hu tumse because tumne apne liye stand nahi liya".

"Sorry sidharth aage se aesa nahi hoga pakka" she hold her ears.

He kissed her forehead in assurance and again hug her.
..............

Next day they both have to leave for mumbai as sidharth take few leaves for his wedding now only two days left for his leave to get over.

"Sana saara saman rakh liya na?" Rita maa asked her. They both are standing outside the house as sidnaaz are ready to leave for mumbai. Shehnaaz parents also come to met her.

"Ji maa sab rakh liya aur aap aur papa kab aa rahe hai?" Shehnaaz asked to her father in law.

"Bass agle mahine hi aa jayenge waise to hamara man nahi hai waha shift hone ka lekin tum logo ne itna insist kara to aa rahe hai but jab tak dhyaan rakhna okay" his dad said.

"Puttar shehnaaz pareshan kare to batana" his mother in law said to him. Sidharth Chuckle while shehnaaz roll her eyes.

"Ji mummy" he said while smiling.

They hug them one last time, take their blessings and bid to bye to them.

They sat on their car and move toward airport. Sidharth notice her face which show sadness. Sidharth held her hand.

"Don't worry shehnaaz hum aayenge na unse milne aur next month to mom dad bhi shift ho jayenge aur tum jab chaho apne mummy papa se mil sakti ho aur tum bolo to mein papa se baat karta hu wo log bhi waha shift ho jayenge" he try to make her feel better.

She went into his arms and keep her head on his shoulder, he drop a kiss on her head.

"Aesa nahi hai sidharth it's just mein bachpan se yaha rahi hu kabhi gai nahi aese aur achanak se isliye just thoda ajeeb lag raha hai".

"Don't worry sweetheart everything will be alright thoda time lagega adjust hone me but sab ho jayenge I'm with you".

"Isliye to fikar nahi hai kisi cheez ki" she kissed his forearm.

Marriage changes the life of not only a girl but also a boy. She leave her comfort, he try to comfort her.  She leaves her house on his trust and he try to make her trust on him. That's how marriage work. Both have to put equal efforts.

They reached Mumbai in night. There was one day left for his vacation to end. He decided to give her a tour of mumbai so that she remembers the routes and don't feel odd there. He show her his work place so that she can come anytime easily.

They both are on his bike he give her tour of not whole Mumbai but few routes which are important for her. He show her nearest markets. After that they come home.

"To kesa laga Mumbai" he asked while sitting on sofa. The live in 2 bhk flat as he live alone there. They have two bedrooms, one kitchen, two balconies and living room.

"Bohot acha" she give him water.

"Aur ghar i mean i know chota hai bohot but i promise agle ek saal mein isse bada le lunga" he thought she is not comfortable there as her house is much bigger than this.

"Sidharth ghar bohot acha hai mujhe koi problem nahi hai idhar aur akele aap kiu lenge ghar hum milkar lenge na".

He smile and thought she is not like other girls who like lavished lifestyle she always prefer to live a simple yet beautiful life. She is happy in that small home also.

"Chalo aaj bahar se khana order kar lete hai"

"Are bahar se kiu mein bana dungi"

"Sana kal aaye the aur aaj bahar ghumne gaye ab tum bhi thak gai hongi na aur kal se to jaana hai kaam par abhi aaram karo" he make her understand and order their food online.
....................

The next day was monday which means work day. Sidharth is getting ready in his room while she make breakfast and lunch for them.

"Sidharth breakfast ready hai aa jaiye" she shout from kitchen. Sidharth hear her and come outside.

They start their breakfast.

"Sana mein soch raha hu ek cook rakh lete hai".

"Kiu aapko mere haath ka khana pasand nahi aaya" she thought he don't like her food that's why he said.

"Are nahi baba khana bohot acha hai but tum khud hi socho na hum dono job par jayenge aur phir thake hue aayenge phir dinner banana bohot load ho jayega isliye".

"But i will manage i love cooking and specially for my loved onces" she said absent mindedly.

"Oh so I'm your loved onces" he tease her.

"Wo nahi wo bss" she blush and look down.

"Matlab nahi hu" he show that he got hurt by this.

"Nahi mera matlab wo nahi tha aap hai" she said but realised that he just tease her when she saw him controlling his laugh. "Haww kitne gande ho aap"

He laugh "meine kya kara yaar khudh ko dekho itni cute lag rahi ho" he pulled her cheeks. She blush hard.

"Aap... aapko office nahi jaana?".

"Jaana hai na lekin aapko drop karne ke baad".

"Are but mein chali jaungi aapne dikhaya tha na kal route"

"Shehnaaz mein tumhari safety ke saath compromise nahi kar sakta abhi do din nahi hue tumhe aaye aese akele nahi jaane de sakta mein tumhe it's not safe".

"Lekin Delhi me mein akele hi jaati thi".

"Try to understand na baba i can't take risk delhi me tum comfortable thi waha ke routes tumhe yaad honge aur waha ka mahool tum jaanti thi yaha new ho na abhi mein kar deta hu baad mein khudh kar lena okay but no more discussion".

She smile on his protective nature. She feel blessed to have him. Same goes with him now he also have a partner with whom he can share his problems and happiness.

"Acha but cook rehne de na aap mein kar lungi manage pakka"

"Fine but mein bhi help karunga and mujhe na nahi sunni".

"Huh ziddi" she mummers but he hear her. He chuckle on her cuteness.

Later he drop her on her office and strictly told her to call him after she done with her work.

"Bye dhyaan rakhna aur agar mujhe late ho to waha us cafe me wait karna akele mat jaana".

"Okay sidharth aap ye baat subha se bol rahe hai".

"Meri jaan tum zimmedari ho meri tumhe mehfuz rakhna mera kaam hai aur tumpar ek kharoch mujhe bardhast nahi hogi try to understand".

She smile and nodded.

"Chalo mein chalta hu dhyan rakhna aur kuch bhi problem ho just call me" he kissed on her forehead. He is hell protective and possessive for his family.

He sit on bike and to go when he felt something soft on his cheek. He look at her retreating figure. After few seconds he realised she kissed him, he blush little as they were on road but smile widely while touching his cheek.

Shehnaaz enter in her new office and blush hard realising what she had done.

Both are happy together. They also forget that they have a skin tone difference between them they just enjoy the new phrase of their life and feel blessed to have eachother.
