It was raining outside at late night. After returning from shoot, Shehnaaz sat on the bed and opened her Instagram on phone. She started reading comments on her latest reel with Guru Randhawa. But soon her hands started shivering and eyes became teary after reading those sh*tty comments.

The saddest part is yeh saare comments real hai)

Shehnaaz immediately kept her phone aside and started crying loudly. She always tried to ignore her haters but it was too much now. How can people stoop so low? Can't a girl and a boy be friends? Why people have to romanticize every fu*king relation and spread negativity? She couldn't tolerate this much hate. She wanted to be free from all this. She couldn't take it anymore.

Tears were continuously rolling down Shehnaaz's cheeks. She was missing Sidharth very much. She wanted a tight hug from him to get rid of all the pain.

"Tu kaha hai Sidharth? Teri Shehnaaz ko zaroorat hai teri. Aa jaa na please!" She screamed while crying loudly.

Suddenly she felt a hand on her cheeks who slowly wiped her tears. Shehnaaz immediately looked beside and found Sidharth staring at her with a smile.

"Tu aa gaya?" She asked softly looking at him with teary eyes.

"Iss earth mein sirf ek ladki hai jiske aansu pochne ke liye main heaven se bhi daud ke aa sakta hoon." he said while wiping her tears.

Shehnaaz hold Sidharth's hands tightly and said, "Kyu chhor ke chala gaya tu mujhe? Main bohut akeli padh gayi hoon Sidharth. Mujhse nahi ho raha aur."

"Accha? Teri family tere saath hai, teri puri team tere saath hai, itne acche acche dost hai tere. Tu kaise akeli padh sakti hai?"

"Mujhe koi aur nahi, sirf tu chahiye. Sirf tu." Said Shehnaaz sobbing.

"Main bhi toh hoon tere saath. Tu jaha jaha jaati hai, main tere saath chalta hoon. Tu roti hai toh heaven se earth tak ka faasla tay kar ke aa jaata hoon tere paas lekin tu phir bhi chup nahi hoti. Tujhe pasand hai aansuon se mera welcome karna?" Said Sidharth sternly to which Shehnaaz made a sad pout and nodded in no.

"Toh phir kyu ro rahi hai?"

"Comments dekh ke rona aa gaya. Log abhi mujhse pyaar nahi karte. Sab mujhse nafrat karte hai. Main jiske saath bhi kaam karti hoon uske saath link-up karna chalu kar dete hai. Kabhi Guru kabhi Raghav, nahi saha jaata yaar. Insaan hoon main, feelings hai mere andar. Mujhe bhi hurt hota hai, rona aata hai."

Sidharth was listening everything silently. He pressed his mouth with his palm and tried to control his laugh.

Shehnaaz frowned seeing him laughing and asked, "Tujhe haasi aa rahi hai?"

Sidharth stopped laughing and said, "Sorry. I know serious situation hai. Hasna nahi chahiye...... But I can't help."

Saying that he burst into laughter.

"Yaar koi Raghav ke saath kaise link-up kar sakta hai?" He asked while laughing. "Seriously matlab.... Tere saath khada hota hai toh Bhai jaisa lagta hai. Uske saath kaun link-up kar raha hai tujhe?"

"Humare pyaare SidNaazians."

"Lagta promotion ho gayi hai SidNaazians ki. Insaan se gadhe ban gaye hai saare ke saare. Main wapas jaa ke God se complaint karne wala hoon. Akal baat ne mein kanjoosi kar rahe hai woh aaj kaal."

Shehnaaz slightly slapped his biceps as he was making fun.

"Ok main aur nahi has raha." Said Sidharth stopping his laugh. Then he said, "Dekh, Raghav wali baat pe tujhe inn ko zyada attention dene ki zaroorat nahi hai. Rahi baat Guru Randhawa ki toh, I know woh tera kitna accha dost hai. Main dekh raha hoon sab. Tujhe kisi aur ko clarify kyu karna hai?"

Shehnaaz sighed and said, "Mujhe kisi aur se farak nahi padta. Lekin jab humare fans, humare SidNaazians aisa bolte hai, toh mujhe hurt hota hai. Keh rahe hai woh mujhse ab connect nahi kar paa rahe hai, mere ko unfollow kar rahe hai. Yaar woh log meri family jaise hai. Woh mujhe nahi samjhenge toh kaun samjhega?"

"Main tere ko samajh raha hoon yeh kaafi nahi hai tere liye?"

"Kaafi hai lekin main unn se bhi expect karti hoon....."

"Yaar tujhe sirf tere SidNaazians ki hi padhi hai. Main jaa raha hoon mujhe jealousy ho rahi hai." Said Sidharth making an angry pout.

"Arrey arrey mat jaa. I'm sorry." Said Shehnaaz stopping him. "Accha tu bol, main sun rahi hoon."

"Sana yeh jo log hai na jo bol rahe hai woh tere saath connect nahi kar paa rahe hai, tu samajh le unka network connection pehle se hi weak tha. Woh connection tut jaaye toh hi behtar hai. Jo log sach mein tujhse pyaar karte hai woh tujhe khush dekh kar sabse zyada khush honge. Aur koi tujhe unfollow karna chahta hai toh karne de. Ek do logo ke unfollow karne se tere followers kam ho jayenge kya?"

"Aisa nahi hai lekin......"

"Listen to me. Suppose agar tere abhi jitne bhi followers hai sab hi ne tujhe unfollow kar diya, toh bhi ek aisa account rahega jo tujhe kabhi unfollow nahi karega. Tu jaanti hai na woh account kaunsa hai?"

"realsidharthshukla." Replied Shehnaaz with a smile to which Sidharth also smiled.

"Aur yeh ek follower mere liye lakho followers ke barabar hai." She said further.

"Main yeh hi tujhe samjhana chahta tha. Jo jaa rahe hai unhe jaane de. Woh kabhi tere the hi nahi aur naa hi mere the. Tere saath tera Sid hai aur Sid ke saath uski Naaz hai. Jab SidNaaz saath hai toh duniya walo se kya lena dena? Bhad mein jaaye saare."

After thinking a while, Shehnaaz suddenly took her phone and said, "Bhad mein jaao saare. Mujhe kisi se fark nahi padta. Mujhe sirf apne Bebu se fark padta hai. Samjhe? Gadho!"

Then she again kept her phone aside. Sidharth chuckled at his cute munchkin.

"Ab tu promise kar yeh social media ke troll wagera se bilkool affect nahi hogi. Jis Shehnaaz Gill se Bigg Boss House mein mujhe pyaar hua tha woh itni weak nahi thi. Woh sherni thi meri. I want that Shehnaaz back. Kyu ki aage jaa ke aur bhi trolling aayegi, iss se zyada aayegi. Log bolenge, tu ek kaan se sunegi aur dusre kaan se bahar nikalegi."

"Matlab aage bhi trolling aayegi?"

"Aur nahi toh kya? Bade bade Bollywood celebrities ko trolling milte hai. Tu kaha ki Shehzaadi hai be jo sab teri puja karenge? Jitne log tujhse pyaar karenge, utne hi log teri burai bhi karenge. Tujhe woh jhelna hoga."

"Jhela hi toh nahi jaata. Kabhi kabhi lagta hai sab kuch chhor ke tere paas aa jaau." Said Shehnaaz sadly.

"Aa jaana. Main tujhe do thappad maar ke wapas yaaha bhej dunga." Said Sidharth to which Shehnaaz laughed.

After sometime she asked, "Accha Sidharth, ek baat puchu?"

"Puchh na meri Jaan."

"Agar main kabhi sach mein move on kar gayi, tab bhi tu aise aayega na mere paas? Mere saath ghanto tak baatein karega na? Yaa phir, tu bhi inn sab ki tarah mera saath chhor dega?"

"Tu pagal hai? Jab main apni akhri saansein le raha tha uss waqt yeh so called fans nahi the mere saath. Tu thi mere saath. Jo ladki end tak mere saath rahi hai, main uska saath chhor dunga? Arrey mujhe toh khushi hogi jab tujhe apni life mein woh special insaan milega. Teri baarat mein sabse zyada main naachunga. Haan kisi ko dikhunga nahi, magar mein rahunga. Tere saath, tere paas." Said Sidharth assuring her.

"Tu itna accha kyu hai?" Asked Shehnaaz being lost in him.

"Kyu ki tu itni pyaari hai." Said Sidharth cupping her face. He kissed her forehead and she closed her eyes. A lone tear escaped her eyes.

"Chal main chalta hoon." Said Sidharth after sometime.

Shehnaaz hugged him tightly and said, "Nahi. Main tujhe itni zaldi nahi jaane dungi."

"Yeh kya bachpana hai Shehnaaz? Tujhe paata hai main kitna risk le ke tere paas aata hoon? Ab tak udhar heaven mein sab mujhe dhund rahe honge. Udhar ke rules and regulations bigg boss house se bhi zyada tough hai. Upar se neeche aana jaana allowed nahi hai. Phir bhi main tere liye rules break kar raha hoon. Agar God ko paata chal gaya na, seedha punishment milegi mujhe. Agle janam mein kutta yaa billi bana denge."

"Nahi banayenge. Main unse request karungi. He listens to me. Tu thodi der aur ruk jaa please. Waise bhi tu kabhi kabhi hi aata hai. Tere birthday ke din kitna bula rahi thi tujhe phir bhi tu nahi aaya."

"Arrey main kya karta? Angels ne birthday party rakhi thi."

"Chal uske liye maaf kiya tujhe. Christmas pe aa raha hai na tu?"

"Angels ki Christmas party hai. I'm invited"

Shehnaaz broke the hug and asked, "New Year Eve pe?"

"New year party hai..."

"Angles ki?" Asked Shehnaaz glaring him to which Sidharth gulped his saliva and nodded in yes.

"Ek baat baata, tera chakkar vakkar chal raha hai kya kisi Angel ke saath?"

"No no I swear. Sirf healthy flirting chalti hai aur kuch nahi." Said Sidharth pinching his own throat.

"Accha? Kar le jitni flirting karni hai. Ek baar main aa jaau upar, phir dekh lungi sab ko."

"Haan lekin uss mein abhi der hai. Tujhe abhi sau saal jeena hai. Mehnat karni hai, Bollywood star ban na hai aur mujhe bhi toh proud feel karana hai. You better focus on that other than focusing on these stupid fans jinke lagne pe duniya chal rahi hai."

"Meri tarah?" Asked Shehnaaz laughing.

"Haan. Teri hi tarah bante jaa rahe hai apne kuch SidNaazians. Unhe laga tu Raghav ko date kar rahi hai, unhe laga tu Guru ko date kar rahi hai, unhe laga tu mujhe bhul gayi hai, unhe laga tu change ho gayi hai, unhe laga yeh, unhe laga woh...... Iss unhe laga ne na teri mental health ki puri laga dali, sach keh raha hoon main."

"Tu hai na meri mental health ka khayal rakhne ke liye?"

"Haan. Main hi hoon." Said Sidharth sighing. "Akela hoon aur akele ko hi sab kuch sambhal na padhta hai. Sahi hai!"

"Tu heaven mein jaa ke bhi bilkool nahi badla." Said Shehnaaz looking at him.

"Main nahi badla, tu bhi kisi aur ki wajah se khud ko mat badal na. Jis Bubbly, jhalli Shehnaaz se main pyaar karta hoon woh mujhe humesha dikhni chahiye."

"Humesha dikhegi." Replied Shehnaaz showing her bunny teeth.

Sidharth smiled and kissed her nose.

"Accha main thodi der yaaha ruk raha hoon. Tu so jaa. Kaam karte karte thak gayi hai tu." He said.

"Main nahi soungi. Agar main so gayi toh tu phir se gayab ho jayega." She said making a sad pout.

"Jaana toh hoga na."

"Toh phir waada kar jab bhi main tujhe bulaungi tu aa jaayega."

"Tu jab bulayegi tab main nahi aaunga. Lekin tere liye main kabhi bhi aaunga. Yeh mera waada hai."

Shehnaaz smiled looking at her man who loves her so much.

After that he said, "Accha ek kaam kar. Phone pe ek gaana laga aur apni aankhein band kar. Tujhe accha lagega aur neend bhi aa jaayegi."

Shehnaaz nodded in yes. She took her phone and played the song Sidharth told. Then she hugged Sidharth and closed her eyes. A song started playing.

Kuch to log kahenge

Logon ka kaam hai kehna

Chhodo bekaar ki baaton mein

kahin Beet na jaaye raina

Kuch to log kahenge

Logon ka kaam hai kehna

"Zaroorat nahi hai har koi aap se pyaar kare. Koi ek bhi karta hai na woh kaafi hai." Said Sidharth while rubbing her back to which Shehnaaz hummed.

"I love you." Whispered Shehnaaz.

Sidharth smiled and said kissing her hair, "Baby tell me something I don't know."

Soon Shehnaaz fell asleep with a beautiful smile on her face.

Next Day...

Shehnaaz woke up with the same smile. She was feeling much better now.

"Good morning Sana!" She said to herself.

Suddenly she realised that she left her phone on whole night. She took her phone. Suddenly a comment notification appeared on her screen. She opened her Instragram to see the comment.

Shehnaaz smiled seeing the comment. She really has a lot of genuine fans. They were enough for her. Now she wouldn't let those people affect her mental health who troll her or speak bad about her. Her heart knew how much her Sidharth mattered to her and her Sidharth knew it too. She didn't need to give explanation to anybody.

Shehnaaz kept her phone in charge and opened the curtains of her windows.

Sunrays touched her face. Now the sky was clear. All the clouds went away.

Suddenly Shehnaaz saw a beautiful rainbow in the sky.

She understood that it was a sign. Her Bebu actually came last night, only for her.

"Sidhaaarth! Thank you for coming!" Said Shehnaaz loudly with a smile, looking at the rainbow.
