In night, the trio enter in Shehnaaz's room without making noise because they know if she wake up they gone. She never like anyone enter in her room without permission. She is sleeping. First syra enter as it's a girl room then she give them green signal after that they enter.

"Bhaiyo wo raha phone" syra whispered to them. They look at the side table.

"Ja dekh lekar aa" ayan whispered to syra.

"Mein kiu jaau akeli taaki aap bhag jaao aur mein phas jau" she whispered angrily.

"Tum dono" sidharth said but they close his mouth "shhh" because she turn to other side in sleep.

"Bhai marwayega kya abhi uth gai na to hum log kal uthne layak nahi bachenge" ayan whispered.

"Sorry lekin tum dono ko ladna hai to bahar jakar lado".

"Acha ab tu ja syra".

"Mein kiu".

"Aapi ka haath tu pakdegi na isliye".

"Nahi mein risk nahi le rahi agar wo uth gai na to mera haath salamat nahi rahega".

"Yaar tu ja tu pakad sakti hai unka haath comfortably" sidharth said and push her. She glare him.

Syra went toward her first she take her phone then try to hold her finger but shehnaaz move little. They got alert and hide themselves. Syra hide herself under the bed while Sidharth hide behind sofa and ayan behind the curtains. When they saw she is in deep slumber syra again try to print her fingerprint but it seems impossible.

"Yaar rehne de na chod dekh kese sukoon ki neend so rahi hai rehne dete hai" Sidharth said while looking at her face.

"Haan bhai sahi keh rahe ho hitler uth gai na to hum nahi bachenge" ayan said.

"Hmm" syra placed the phone back on table but she notice some tablets on table.

"Bhaiyo ye dekho ye vomiting pills nahi lag rahi?" Syra said.

"Dikha mujhe" ayan snatch it from her "nahi pagal ye to shyd sar dard wali hai".

Sidharth snatch it from him "gadho google kar lo na naam" he type the name on Google. They got shocked. It show sleeping pills.

"Aapi sleeping pills lekar soi hai?" Ayan said.

"Lekin kiu?"

Sidharth saw her she is surely hiding something from family. She is not what she is actually showing.

"Chalo chalte hai" sidharth said and place the tablets on table, he saw her one last time than left with them.

"Bhai subha puchenge aapi se wo sleeping pills kiu le rahi hai aur wo pills ka packet aadha khali tha means wo pehle se le rahi hai" syra said.

"Nahi aese puchenge to wo kabhi nahi batayengi i think hume directly nahi puchna chahiye indirectly pata lagane ka try karenge" sidharth said. They nodded and left from there. Whole night he was only thinking about her and sleep late.

Next morning he wake up and saw the time. His eyes popped out.

"Shit 12 baj rahe hai office miss ho gaya, sidharth beta tu to gaya aaj jaldi bhag" he almost do his work in hurry. After getting ready he run downstairs.

"Ammi" he said when he saw her on dining table while cutting vegetables.

"Sidharth kya baat tabhiyat theek hai teri? Late utha hai aaj shehnaaz puch rahi thi tere baare me".

"Shit ammi wo raat ko der se soya tha mein nikalta hu" he run towards the main door.

"Are ruk meine usse jhut bol diya tha ki tere sar me dard hai bohot aur aaj tabhiyat bhi kharab hai wo maan gai thi" rita maa said.

He closed his eyes and take a deep breathe.

"Thank you ammi" he kissed her forehead and sat beside her.

"Thank you ke bacche ye aage se nahi hona chahiye aage nahi bachaungi".

"Pakka ammi aage se nahi hoga ab kuch khane ko do na bohot bhook lagi hai".

"Ha tu shehnaaz se baat kar le mein nashta lekar aati hu".

"Shehnaaz se kiu baat karni?" He asked in confusion.

"Are subha se 10 calls aa chuke hai tere liye ki teri tabhiyat kesi hai tu utha ke nahi isliye kar le call aur bata de apna haal chaal".

"Hmm mein karta hu baat" he said and dial her number. She pick in one ring like she was waiting for his call.

"Sidharth theek hai na aap? Kesi tabhiyat hai ab? Doctor ke bheje hum? Bataiye chup kiu hai?" She said in one go.

He feel guilty, she was taking so much stress because of him "She... Shehnaaz hum theek hai aap tension na le".

"Pakka na?"

"Ha baba aap bilkul fikar na kare hamari hum bilkul theek hai".

"Acha suniye agar zara bhi takleef ho to aap hume call kar dijiyega hum khudh aa jayenge aur doctor ko saath layenge samjhe aap Bilkul laparwahi nahi karenge" she said in strict voice.

"Itni fikar hai aapko hamari" he asked suddenly he didn't want to ask such question but his heart.....

She didn't said anything but smile and said "khudh se zyda fikar hai aapki hume".

His heart beat rise "kiu?" He whispered.

"Kuch baatein batai nahi jaati dil se samjhi jaati hai ek baar dil se sochiye khudh samjh jayenge".

"Matlab mein samjha nahi".

She chuckle "kuch nahi aap nahi samjhenge acha aap aram kijiye hume kaam hai phir call karenge aur haan bass itna samjh lijiye ki aap bohot azeez hai hume khyal rakha kariye allah hafiz" she said and cut the call, leaving a confused sidharth behind.

"Ye kya tha hume to kuch smajh hi nahi aaya" he rub his forehead and start thinking "kuch baatein batai nahi jaati dil se samjhi jaati hai" her words are ringing in his mind but he didn't understand it.

"Ho gai baat?" Rita maa asked while serving him breakfast.

"Ji ammi".

"Kya hua uljhe uljhe lag rahe hai?"

"Ammi aesi konsi baatein hai jo dil se samjhi jaati hai?".

"Matlab tu ye kiu puch raha hai?".

"Are wo meine ek movie dekhi thi to usme ye dialogue tha bataye na".

She smile "beta pyaar ki baatein dil se samjhi jaati hai".

"Pya... pyaar?" His heartbeat rise with each second.

"Hmm jab pyaar hota hai to dil ki baatein hi samjh aati hai abhi tu nahi samjhega lekin jab kisise sacchi mohabbat hogi to khudh ba Khudh samjh aa jayega"

"Nahi nahi ammi shayd galat hai shehnaaz ne us way me nahi bola hoga haan wo hume thodi... pagal ho gaya mein kya kya soch raha hu" he thought and complete his meal.
_____________________________

In whole day Shehnaaz call him 20+ times, she asked about his health after every hour. He was confused with her behavior but decided to ignore it. He think he overthink everything.

At night everyone gathered in dining table for dinner.

"Ammi hum soch rahe the sidharth ke liye rishte dekhna shuru kar de" azam ji said. Hearing him shehnaaz food stuck in her throats she cough badly. Noor give her water and rub her back. She signal everyone that she is okay.

"Haan to kya keh rahe aap?" Dadi asked.

"Yahi ki ammi shehnaaz ka to abhi irada hai nahi shadi ka to Sidharth ke kiye rishte dekhna shuru kar dete hai".

"Haan ammi aur sidharth ki shadi ki umar bhi ho gai hai wese" rita maa said.

Sidharth smile shyly hearing about his wedding unknown with the fact that he was breaking someone heart with his smile.

"Baat to sahi hai aap dono ki, Sidharth beta aapko to koi takleef nahi hai na" dadi asked him.

"Nahi dadi jesa aap logo ko theek lage kare hum taiyaar hai".

"Theek hai phir aap log rishte dekhe koi ladki achi lage to hume bataye" dadi said. Everyone become except two persons. One is obviously Shehnaaz. And second is Noor, she is happy for her brother but sad for her sister yet bestfriend. She know she loves him more than anything.

"Shehnaaz aap bhi apne bhai ke liye dekhe koi ladki" azam ji said with a smile.

She nodded without looking at anyone "hamara ho gaya hum chalte hai" she left hurriedly.

Noor didn't go behind her because she know shehnaaz need alone time.

Shehnaaz behavior didn't go well with Sidharth, he decided to talk with her.

Shehnaaz was on terrace starring stars and moon without any expression. She was lost when someone tap her shoulder. She turn and saw sidharth standing there with a smile. She cursed her destiny because this time she didn't want to talk with him.

"Beth jaau?" He asked. She nodded silently. "Kya baat hai kuch bujhi bujhi lag rahi hai aap?".

"Aesa kuch nahi hai" she look other side controlling her feelings.

"Aesa hai shehnaaz jitna aapko bachpan se jaante hai kuch to hua hai aapko, aap share kar sakti hai humse".

She chuckle sadly "aap hume jaante hi to nahi".

"Matlab?".

"Matlab kuch nahi chodo aap aur mubarak ho aapko".

"Mubarak baad kis baat ki?".

"Nikah ke liye ab aapne haan kar di hai to zahir si baat hai pura khandan aapke liye ladki dekhne me lag jayega"

"Hmm ye to hai wese aap khush hai?" he smile and asked.

"Hamare khush hone na hone se kya hoga aap khush hai na wahi kaafi hai aur wese bhi nikah aapko karna hai hume nahi".

"Shehnaaz" he said lovingly.

She look at him and lost in him. Cold breeze touch their faces and make the moment more romantic but sometimes destiny have it's own plans. Sidharth phone ring and break their moment. He pick the call.

"Pagal ho gai hai shehnaaz ye galat hai wo kuch dino me kisi aur.... aur ke ho jayenge ye sab galat hai bohot galat lekin kiu Sidharth aap hamare piche padhe hai hume hi Pata hai hum apne dil par kese kaabu kar rahe hai aap mat aaiye ab hamare pass nahi rok payenge hum khudh ko phir, shyd hamara milna kismat me tha hi nahi, hume dur jaana hoga is sab se isse pehle kuch galat ho jaaye" she thought looking at him and smile sadly. He was talking while smiling. He come back after cut the call.

"Sorry wo ayesha ka call tha".

"Ayesha? Wo aapki dost? Itni raat gaye phone sab kheriyat to hai?".

"Ji ji sab theek hai bass wo unke bhai ki shadi hai to kal wo invitation dene aayengi".

"Oh acha". They both got silent."chaliye bohot late ho gaya hai".

He laugh "aapko konsa kabhi late hoga the punctual shehnaaz life me kabhi late ho sakti hai"

She smile "hmm kai baar hum bohot late ho jaate hai".

"Matlab?".

"Ek to aap har baat ka matlab zarur puchte hai har baat ka matlab nahi hota hai, allah hafiz". She said and left.

"Bohot hi confusing baatein karti hai aap shehnaaz" he said looking at her retreating figure.
