It was his number. He again check it. His heart beat rise with every second.

"Bohot azeez hai aap hume khayal rakha kariye"

"Kuch baatein batai nahi jaati dil se samjhi jaati hai"

Her words start ringing in his mind. He thought to check her gallery. With shriving hands he type his birthday date 1212 and gallery opened. He gulped his saliva. Sweat form on his forehead. He check the folder name - Sukoon ♥️.

It was filled with his random pictures. He never know about this. "She love me" he whispered.

Shehnaaz come out from bathroom and saw his back. "Sidharth aap kya kar rahe hai" he turn toward her. She saw her phone in his hands. She hurriedly snatch her phone. "Ky... kya kar rahe the aap haan bina permission ke phone kiu liya aapne" she shout on him.

"Ye kya hai shehnaaz" he asked her. She closed her eyes.

"Kuch... kuch nahi aap jaaye".

"Lekin shehnaaz wo" he was about to say something but syra disturb them.

"Bhai aapko bade papa bula rahe hai" she said and left.

"Terrace par wait karnege hum aapka dinner ke baad" he said and left.

She throw her phone on bed in anger. "How can i be so stupid" she pulled her hairs.

"Ammi abbu aapne bulaya?" He said after entering in room. He closed the door, noor was already present there.

"Sidharth aapne suna na khala ne kya kaha" azam ji said.

He nodded.

"To kya socha aapne?" Rita maa asked.

"Ammi wo hum".

"Sidharth koi bhi faisla lene se pehle ye mat sochiye ga ki hum kya kahenge ya khandan me aur koi kya kahega kiuki ye aapki zindagi hai iska faisla bhi aapka hoga" azam ji said.

Sidharth smile slightly and honesty said "abbu hum ye nikah nahi kar sakte".

They all smile because they already know his answer.

"Kiu?" Rita maa asked.

"Bass aese hi humne nikah ko haan zarur bola tha lekin samreen ke saath hamari wo understanding nahi hai jo hume hamare life partner me chahiye" he don't know from where he start thinking about shehnaaz. First he badly want to clear everything between them. He had a idea that she love him but he is not clear.

"Theek hai hum khala ko bata denge".

They had their dinner silently. Sheena khala want answer but she didn't asked them now.

After dinner everyone went in their room except sidnaaz. Shehnaaz didn't want to face him but she know now she can't hide anything from him. She decided to tell him everything.

She is waiting for him in terrace, after 15 minutes he reached the terrace with full preparation to asked everything.

They had an eye contact which was broken by her. She know if she continuously looking into his eye she definitely break down infront of him which she didn't want.

"Boliye kiu bulaya hai aapne?" She asked him.

"Hume sab janna hai, sach sach" he said with same rang.

"Kya janna hai aapko"

"Aap jaanti hai sab shehnaaz wo....wo jo aapke phone me hai ki... kiu hai"

"Itne bhole to nahi hai aap ki samjh na paaye".

He don't have words to say "hu... hume aapse janna hai".

"Bata de sunne ki himmat rakhte hai aap?" She smirks because she know it's their last time when they talk like this. After this everything will surely change.

He nodded with nervousness. He know what is coming next.

"Mohabbat karte hai aapse, beinteha mohabbat" she said with cracking voice, her eyes filled up with tears infact they turn red because she control herself from break down.

"Me... mein wo" he don't know how to handle this situation. He lick his dry lips. He didn't want to break her heart. Because this is the first time when he saw her like this.

"Pata nahi kabse... kese... kiu... bas ho gai aapse mohabbat sirf aapse shyd mohabbat ka matlab jaante bhi nahi the tabse".

"Hum... humne aapko kabhi us nazar se nahi dekha sheh...shehnaaz".

"Jaante hai hum isliye kabhi bataya bhi nahi hamesha is mohabbat ke raaz ko dafan kar ke rakha hai apne andar... Ammi kasam sidharth hum kabhi nahi chahate the ye raaz aapke saamne aaye" her eyes continuously drop tears.

"Le... lekin ab".

"Aap mat soche itna jo ho raha hai hone de sirf kuch din ki baat hai phir hum hamesha ke liye chale jayenge yaha se sirf kuch din ki baat hai" she chuckle sadly, she turn and hold the railing tightly to control her damn tears.

He was standing there confuses he don't know what he has to do. He can't let her go but he didn't love her.

"Leki... lekin hum... wo..."

"Aap hume kabhi pasand kar paayenge? Kabhi humse mohabbat kar payenge? Kya hamari age reason banegi aapki humse mohabbat na karne ka" She asked while turning toward him.

He look down, honestly he don't have answer. She smile sadly.

"Koi baat nahi jaante the hum behtar yahi hoga aap ye baat bhul jaaye ki aesa kuch hua tha" she start moving out.

"Lekin aap" he said, he know she was beyond broken.

She Chuckle sadly "don't worry hum reh lenge kuch dino ki baat hai" she said and left.

He was looking at her retiring figure, he never imagine this day in their life. He know he hurt her beyond everything but what can he do. A long escape his eye because he always saw her strong in every situation but today he saw her broken side, he saw her broken soul in her eyes.

She lock herself in her room and cry her heart out. She feel rejected, she feel like she lost everything she had. Today she lost herself, today her soul just broke down.

Tu jo nazron ke saamne kal hoga nahi.

He remember when she said "sirf kuch dino ki baat hai". Will she leave him? Forever?

Tujhko dekhe bin main marna jaun kahi

Whole night they didn't sleep for a second. He was thinking about her. She was thinking about him. She already know his answer but she was expecting something and expectation hurt the most. He know now the things getting more difficult for them.

Tujhko bhool jaun kaise

Next morning, they sat infront of eachother on dining table like everyday. Sidharth notice her. She act normal in front of everyone.

Maane na manaun kaise
Tu bata..

"Shehnaaz" he said.

"Ji boliye" she act like nothing happened between them.

"Wo office saath chale?" He asked in nervousness.

"Un cheezo ki aadat mat dalwaiye jo kabhi puri nahi ho sakti" she said and left

Roke na ruke naina
Teri aur hai inhe toh rehna
Roke na ruke naina...

He look at her. He was right, she was broken beyond everything. She is not she was before that. The sparked was lost.

Kaat tha hoon lakhon lamhe
Katte nahi hain

She try hard to make her understand that he is not her's but her heart. Her heart was not ready to forget him.

Saaye teri yaadon ke
Hatte nahi hain

She saw his photos in her phone and smile sadly. He saw her and his eyes filled with tears. He thought to talk with her.

"Shehnaaz suniye" he said when he saw her going toward meeting room.

Sukh gaye hain ansu teri judai ke

"Hmm" she just hummed, he try to find emotions in her eyes but they are just blank.

"Kuch.... kuch nahi" he said she nodded and left.

Palkon se phir bhi badal
Chhatte nahi hain

They went home together but didn't talk with eachother because their fathers was there.

Noor decided to spend time with them because it's her last day. Her husband was returned from trip. They spend time with her in garden.

Khud ko main hasaun kaise

She act like sheena khala. Everyone laugh except Shehnaaz and sidharth.

Maane na manaun kaise
Tu bata..

Roke na ruke naina

One week passed like this. Shehnaaz make distance with him. She act happy infront of everyone but cry on her faith alone

Teri aor hai inhe toh rehna
Roke na ruke naina...

Haathon ki lakeere do milti jahan hai

Sidharth hate himself for hurting her. He try his best to talk with her but she always end their conversation on short note. She wanted to foget him but it seems impossible.

Jisko pata hai bata de
Jagah wo kahan hai

She always pray for her strength she fall weak infront of other which she didn't want. Sidharth pray for her. He want her happy,little bit he know her happiness lies in him

Ishq mein jaane kaisi ye bebasi hai
Dhadkano se mil kar bhi dil tanha hai.

She Ignore him as much as possible. One day they are working on project together. He asked for pen. "Shehnaaz wo pen dijiyega". She pass him silently without looking at him. He feel hurt.

Doori main mitaun kaise
Maane na manaun kaise
Tu bata..

He badly want to erase these difference from them. He try his best but didn't get success. He know something change inside him after that night but he didn't know what was that. He just want smile on her face. She smile infront of everyone but he know it was a fake one, he want a genuine one. He cursed him self every time for hurting her.

Roke na ruke naina
Teri aor hai inhe toh rehna
Roke na ruke naina...
