After 2 months...

"Eksaath bolo, Ganpati Bappa...." Said Shehnaaz holding the coconut in her hand.

"Morya!" Said Shukla and Gill family together and Shehnaaz broke the coconut in the ground, in front of their new car.

Then Rita Ji performed a small puja for the car.

"Waise car toh badi acchi hai but first hand lena zaroori tha?" Asked Santokh Ji looking at Sidharth. "Second hand le lete, kharcha thoda kam hota."

"Papa Ji pehle toh sabne yeh hi kaha tha ki second hand loon. But phir socha pehli baar car kharid raha hoon apni family ke liye, chahe kitna bhi kharcha ho first hand hi lunga. Aur ab hum har mahine kharcha thoda kam karenge taa ki EMI pay karne mein koi problem na ho." Replied Sidharth while Santokh Ji smiled at his words.

"Chalo sab photo ke liye ready hai?" Asked Shehbaaz and they all immediately stood in front of the car.

Shehbaaz asked a neighbour to click their photo and then himself also stood in front of the car. Soon their photo was clicked.

"Abhi sirf tum dono car ke saath photo kheechwao."

Saying that, the family members left the frame and Shehbaaz clicked only SidNaaz's photo with their car.

"Dikha zara kaisa aaya hai." Said Shehnaaz taking Shehbaaz's phone.

"Yaar meri aankhein band aayi hai." Said Shehnaaz making a sad pout.

"Aap humesha photo lete time so jaati ho toh iss mein main kya karu?" Said Shehbaaz getting irritated.

"Ek aur kheech de na please." She said making puppy eyes to which both Sidharth and Shehbaaz nodded their heads in disbelief.

"Jiju aap ne ek mahine isse jhel kaise liya?" Asked Shehbaaz. "Maine toh socha tha shaadi ke agle din hi aap isko return kar doge."

"Talent hai saale sahab." Said Sidharth with attitude lifting up his collar.

"Bakwas ho gayi ho toh ek aur photo kheechwa le?"

Saying that, Shehnaaz took Sidharth near the car and they gave pose while Shehbaaz clicked their photo.

(I know wahiyat edit but please bear with it. First time try kiya hai 🥲)

"Waise apni gadi hone ka alag hi fayda hai. Jab chaho chhote mote tour pe nikal sakte hai." Said Parminder Ji further.

"Toh hum kab jaa rahe hai tour pe?" Asked Shehbaaz excitedly.

"Pehle apna semester khatam kar uske baad. Waise bhi tu padhta toh hai nahi. Din raat PC mein time waste karta rehta hai. Abhi exams se pehle tour pe gaya na toh pass hona muskil ho jayega tera." Said Shehnaaz.

"Main na coding karta hoon, okay? Jis din khud ka app launch karunga na aap sabki bolti band ho jaayegi. Uske baad jab lakhon crore mein kamaunga, tab mat aa jaana paise maangne."

"Aur jab tujhe kahi pe job nahi milegi aur tu kangal ho jayega tab tu bhi mere paas mat aana chillar maangne."

"Mummy dekho na Di kya bol rahi hai." Said Shehbaaz whining.

"Phir se nahi. Aur Shehnaaz, teri shaadi ho gayi hai, ab toh sudhar jaa." Said Parminder Ji getting annoyed.

"Nahi nahi. Sudharne ki bilkool zaroorat nahi hai. Meri Bahu aisi hi thik hai." Said Rita Ji making Shehnaaz smile.

"Waise tour vour baad mein. Pehle toh Sidharth car le ke office jaayega woh bhi pure shaan se." Said Ashok Ji somewhere feeling proud that his son bought a car.

"Haan Baba. Aur main na aaj Anjali ke saath shopping pe jaa rahi hoon. Sidharth ke liye nayi shirt kharid ne. Kaal woh pehen ke Sidharth office jaayega." Said Shehnaaz.

"Arrey iski kya zaroorat hai?" Asked Sidharth. "I have enough shirts."

"Lekin sab purane hai. Nayi car ke saath shirt bhi toh nayi honi chahiye na?"

"Par hum kharcha kam karne wale the...."

"Yeh last kharcha hai. Uske baad pakka kam kar denge." Said Shehnaaz making Sidharth quiet while others laughed seeing her excitement and childishness.

Later that day...

Shehnaaz went to the shopping mall with Anjali and they were chatting while selecting clothes.

"Paata hai meri saas toh din bhar tumhare gun gaati rehti hai. Kehti hai Shukla parivaar mein toh bahu nahi laxmi aayi hai. Ghar pe kadam rakhte hi nayi gadi bhi aa gayi. Kaash humare parivaar mein bhi aisi bahu aati. Indirectly woh meri hi burai kar rahi thi." Said Anjali.

"Tumhari saas toh typical tv serials ke saas jaisi hai." Said Shehnaaz laughing.

"Arrey woh waisi hi hai. Har waqt hukum chalati rehti hai. Yeh kyu nahi kiya, woh kyu nahi kiya. Aur khud ek kaam nahi karti. Main toh tang aa chuki hoon. Waise main ek baar apni saas ki burai karna suru karti hoon na toh points hi khatam nahi hote. Tum apni saas ka baatao."

"Main kya baatau? Meri Aai toh bohut pyaari hai. Woh saas kam aur meri dost zyada hai. Upar se mere khaane ke aur make-up ke saare experiments main unn pe hi karti hoon. Aise mein unki burai kiyi na toh paap lagega."

"Yaar tum lucky ho. Kaash meri saas aisi hoti. Accha hum dono saas exchange karle?"

"Nahi nahi mujhe meri saas bohut pyaari hai. Tv serial wali saas ko leke sasural Shehnaaz ka nahi bana na mujhe. Jo hai thik hai." Said Shehnaaz making Anjali laugh.

After buying shirts from the men's section, they went to the women's section as Anjali had something to buy for herself.

"Tumhe kharidna kya hai waise?" Asked Shehnaaz to Anjali.

Anjali brought her face near Shehnaaz's ear and whispered shyly, "Woh mere Pati ghar aa rahe hai na, toh unke liye ek surprise gift."

Shehnaaz became confused and said, "Unke liye surprise gift women's section mein? Main samjhi nahi."

Anjali chuckled seeing her innocence and took her with herself towards some dresses. Then she picked up a nightie and showed it to Shehnaaz to which she widened her eyes.

"Ab samjhi? Mere Pati toh bahar kaam karte hai jis wajah se hum zyada time saath reh nahi paate. Toh jab bhi woh aate hai main unko aise surprise deti hoon. Iss se married life ke 5 saal baad bhi romance barkarar rehta hai. Aur husband logo ko yeh sab bohut pasand hai. Ek kaam karo, tum bhi apne liye ek kharid lo. Sidharth ke toh hosh hi udd jaayenge."

Shehnaaz's cheeks heated up due to extreme shyness.

"Nahi nahi. Mujhe bohut sharam aati hai." She said closing her eyes.

"Arrey Pati se kaisi sharam? Waise bhi tum dono ki shaadi ko sirf do hi mahine hue hai. Iss time pe toh Pati Patni ka romance alag hi level pe rehta hai. Abhi khul ke romance nahi kiya na toh aage jaa ke bohut regret hoga baata rahi hoon."

"Accha? Phir...."

Shehnaaz started thinking deeply. It had been two months of their marriage yet they didn't take any step further in their relationship. She knew Sidharth very well. He would never say it even if he wanted to. So here she had to take the initiative but it was really difficult for her.

"Accha tumhe kharidne ki zaroorat nahi hai. Yeh meri taraf se gift hai."

Saying that, Anjali took two nighties. Shehnaaz refused many times but she didn't listen to her and gifted her the nightie.

Next Day...

Sidharth went to the office by his car, wearing the new shirt gifted by Shehnaaz. As soon as he entered, his colleagues congratulated him for the new car and also praised his shirt.

"Aur bhai, car toh badhiya hai. Ab Bhabhi ko mast long drive pe le jaa sakega tu." Said one of his friend teasingly making him smile and blush as well.

"Waise ek khabar suni hai tune? Kisi project mein bohut bada loss hua hai company ka. Workers ko kayi mahino se salary nahi de paa rahe hai. Sayad woh log strike pe bhi baith sakte hai." He said further hearing which Sidharth's face grew serious.

"Yeh toh bohut badi problem hai yaar. Ab kya hoga?"

"Kuch bhi ho, apne ko kya lena dena? Company aur workers ke bich ki baat hai. Hum engineers apna kaam karenge aur salary lenge. Zyada se zyada salary thodi kam ho sakti. Par woh hone ke chances bhi bohut kam hai. Isliye tu tension mat le. Chal humein kuch der mein construction site pe jaana hai."

Sidharth nodded but couldn't stop worrying about it.

At Night...

"Shehnaaz maine bahar hi khana kha liya. Tumne bhi dinner kar liya na?" Asked Sidharth on phone.

"Haan maine bhi dinner kar liya par tum ghar kab aa rahe ho?" Asked Shehnaaz.

"Sorry aaj kaam ki wajah se thoda late hogaya. Main bas nikal hi raha hoon. Adhe ghante mein pohuchta hoon."

"Ok zaldi aa jaao."

Saying that, Shehnaaz hanged up and sighed.

"Aaj Sidharth ki awaz sunke hi paata chal raha hai ki woh low feel kar raha hai. Sayad kaam ka stress hai. Mujhe kuch karna chahiye uska mood thik karne ke liye."

Thinking that, she took out the nightie and went to the washroom.

She wore it and looked at herself through the mirror.

"Chhi chhi, kitna ghatiya lag rahi hai yeh mujhpe." She said and started stretching the nightie. "Upar se mera figure bhi utna accha nahi hai jo yeh sab mujhpe suit karega. Paata nahi, Sidharth ko kaisa lagega."

She spent 30 minutes overthinking about whether Sidharth would like it or not. After that, Sidharth also returned and didn't find Shehnaaz in the room.

"Shehnaaz! Kaha ho tum?"

Hearing his voice, Shehnaaz became more nervous. 

"Main washroom mein hoon." She replied.

Then she again looked at herself and thought, "Ok. Risk le hi leti hoon."

Sidharth was removing his tie sitting on the bed when the door of the washroom opened and Shehnaaz came out wearing the nightie. As soon as, Sidharth's eyes fell on her, his jaw dropped.

Shehnaaz stepped towards him, stretching her nightie continuously while he stood up being awestruck seeing her. He couldn't take his eyes off her. His eyes filled with desire seeing her in that nightie.

"Kaisi lag rahi hoon?" She asked hesitantly.

Sidharth couldn't reply as he was speechless.

"Acchi nahi lag rahi hoon na?" She asked again.

Yet no word came out of his mouth.

"Kuch toh bolo." She said little loudly.

"Huh...umm.... Sexy!" He uttered looking at her.

She immediately looked down in shyness.

"No I mean... Acchi lag rahi ho." Said Sidharth and cursed himself in his mind.

Shehnaaz kept looking down with closed eyes. Seeing her situation, Sidharth took a deep breath and went closer.

"Look at me sweetheart." He said huskily pulling her face up holding her chin.

Shehnaaz looked up and her eyes met with Sidharth's. Today they both had desires in their eyes as if they were waiting for this moment. They wanted to remove all the barriers between them and become one in every way.

Sidharth slowly cupped Shehnaaz's face and was about to kiss her when they heard Ashok Ji's voice.

Before Ashok Ji could enter the room, Sidharth turned towards the door and Shehnaaz hid herself behind him.

"K..k...kya hua B..B..baba? A...a...ap itni raat ko.... Yaaha.... K..k..kuch chahiye tha aap ko?" Asked Sidharth stammering.

"Haan woh lagta hai mujhe acidity ho gayi thi. ENO hai kya tere paas?"

"Haan. Hai na? Aap jaao main laata hoon."

"Accha. Waise Shehnaaz tum iske piche kyu khadi ho? Saamne aao."

"Nahi!" Screamed Shehnaaz making Ashok Ji scared.

"Asal mein kamre mein ek chuha ghus aaya hai isliye darr ke maare yeh mere piche chhup gayi hai. Main chuhe ko bhaga ke phir ENO leke aap ke kamre mein aata hoon. Thik hai?"

"Thik hai." Said Ashok Ji being little confused at their behaviour and left from the room.

As soon as he left, Sidharth and Shehnaaz gave a sigh of relief.

Then Sidharth looked at Shehnaaz and said, "Tum ruko... Main unhe ENO deke aaya..."

Shehnaaz just nodded. After he left, she immediately closed the door and hit her own head angrily.

Later Sidharth came back to his room and saw that Shehnaaz had changed her dress and she was making the bed with a sad face.

"Tumne change kar liya?" He asked.

"Haan." Replied Shehnaaz sadly. "And I'm sorry. Meri wajah se aaj situation itna embarassing ho gaya. Mujhe na woh pehen na hi nahi chahiye tha. Main koi bollywood ki heroine thodi hoon jo aisi dresses mein acchi dikhungi? Aise dresses carry karne ke liye figure accha hona padhta hai aur main toh hoon hi haathi....."

"Are you done? Yaa aur bhi kuch bolna baki hai?" Asked Sidharth sternly. "Bohut bakwas kar liya meri biwi ke baare mein ab main bolunga."

Saying that, Sidharth pulled Shehnaaz closer and wrapped his arms tightly around her waist. Then he looked at her intensely.

"Meri biwi iss duniya ki sabse khubsurat aurat hai. Uske saamne bollywood toh kya hollywood ki heroines bhi feeki lagti hai. Aur woh chahe koi bhi dress pehne, woh humesha best hi dikhegi. Uske baare mein bura bolne ka haq kisi ko nahi hai, tumhe bhi nahi."

Shehnaaz smiled blissfully hearing his words and he gave a long kiss on her forehead.

"Aaj main tumhe baatana chahta hoon ki tum mere liye kitni precious ho. Lekin pehle main tumse puchunga. Kya tum humare iss rishte ko aage badhane ke liye taiyar ho?"

Shehnaaz nodded in yes and said, "Haan Sidharth. Main taiyar hoon."

Sidharth smiled and picked Shehnaaz in a bridal style. He placed her on the bed and hovered over her. He started giving wet kisses on her neck to which she clutched his shirt tightly and moaned his name. Soon their clothes were apart from their bodies and they started making passionate love. While making love, Sidharth worshipped her body in every way possible taking away her insecurities and making her feel much special. That night, they loved each other to no end and consummated their marriage.

Months passed. They were spending their life very beautifully. Sidharth and Shehnaaz's love had now became more stronger. Romance, fun, cute nok jhok everything was there in their relationship. Also their was trust and understanding in their relationship which was the most important thing between husband and wife. They couldn't ask for anything else and kept thanking God for making their life so much beautiful.

But one thing that was not solved yet was the problem in Sidharth's company.

One day he went to office and saw few workers putting strike outside their office. He became confused and asked his colleagues about it.

"Yeh sab kya ho raha hai? Inko abhi tak salary nahi mili?" Asked Sidharth frowning.

"Company ki halat bohut kharab hai. Aur saare workers abhi strike pe chale gaye hai. Inke bina koi kaam nahi hoga. Suna hai iss wajah se company kuch workers and engineers ko job se nikalne wali hai. Because they are unable to give them salary." Said one of his colleagues.

"What? Aise kaise woh log humein job se nikal sakte hai?" Asked Sidharth being shocked.

"Bro, be optimistic. Aisa sirf sun ne mein aaya hai. It won't happen. So relax!"

Said his colleague patting his back but from inside they themselves were scared too.

Sidharth became very much stressed because of this. At this point, he couldn't lose his job. He had a family to take care of. He started convincing himself that everything would be fine but the stress started affecting his both physical and mental health. He couldn't eat and sleep properly making his family worried as well.

One night, Sidharth was awake and looking at the celling blankly. Shehnaaz turned to him and noticed it.

"Sidharth." She called him softly breaking his thoughts.

"Haan?" He asked looking at her.

"Tum thik toh ho na?"

Hearing the question, Sidharth smiled forcefully and replied, "Of course. Mujhe kya hoga?"

"Paata nahi. Kuch din se tum kaafi pareshan lag rahe ho. Agar koi baat hai toh tum mujhe baata sakte ho."

Sidharth paused for a while and then said, "Kuch nahi bas office mein kuch problems chal rahe hai. Tum fikar mat karo."

Shehnaaz moved closer to him and said cupping his face, "Tum bhi fikar mat karo. Tumhare Bappa aur mere Babaji hai na? Woh sab thik kar denge."

"Mujhe paata hai. Aur jab tum mere saath ho, sab thik hi hoga."

Saying that, Sidharth kissed Shehnaaz's lips softly and then they slept cuddling with each other.

Though Sidharth had hope that after sometime everything would be sorted but it didn't come to reality. And one day something happened which broke him completely.

That evening, Shehnaaz, Rita Ji and Ashok Ji were discussing about making a short tour.

"Gadi aaye hue toh bohut din ho gaye. Mere khayal se ab hum sabko kahi ghumne jaana chahiye." Said Ashok Ji.

"Aas paas hi kahi chalte hai. Sidharth ko bhi accha lagega. Kuch dino se bohut pareshan hai bechara." Said Rita Ji.

"Aap ne sahi kaha Aai. Office se kuch din chhutti le lega toh mind bhi refresh ho jayega. Woh ek baar ghar aa jaaye phir milke baat karte hai." Said Shehnaaz.

After sometime, Sidharth returned home and Shehnaaz immediately went to him.

"Sidharth tumhe paata hai, hum sab na abhi tour plan kar rahe the. Kuch dino ke liye gadi le ke kahi paas mein hi chalte hai na?" She said excitedly.

"Nahi." Replied Sidharth sternly while being lost in his own thoughts.

"Kyu? Chalo na please! Sabka bohut mann hai. Main, tum, Aai-Baba, Mummy-Papa, Shehbaaz, sab eksaath chalenge. Tum na do-teen nahi nahi char-paanch din ke liye office se chhutti le lena....."

"MAINE KAHA NA NAHI!!!" Shouted Sidharth making Shehnaaz shiver in fear while his parents became shocked.

"Kab se ek hi baat bolti hi jaa rahi ho, bolti hi jaa rahi ho. Ek baar mein samajh nahi aata? Aur abhi kuch mahine pehle hi hum honeymoon pe gaye the na? Phir bhi mann nahi bhara tumhara? Listen hum kahi nahi jaa rahe hai and IT'S FINAL!" Said Sidharth being angry and frustrated while Shehnaaz couldn't understand the reason behind it.

"Tu uss se itni unchi awaz mein kyu baat kar raha hai Sidharth? Kya galat kaha usne?" Asked Ashok Ji sternly.

"Ghumne jaane ki baat humne suru kiyi thi, woh bhi tere liye. Uss pe kyu bhadak raha hai tu?" Asked Rita Ji.

"Dekhiye, mujhe kahi nahi jaana, thik hai? Now please leave me alone!"

Saying that, Sidharth went inside his room while Shehnaaz kept looking at him with teary eyes. She never saw his this side before and she knew there must be something which was bothering him.

Sitting on the bed, Sidharth face-palmed himself. He was in a situation where he didn't know what to do next. He was feeling very much helpless.

Suddenly he felt a soft hand on his shoulder. He looked beside and found Shehnaaz who was looking at him sadly.

"Kya hua hai tumhe Sidharth? Please mujhe baatao." She said with teary eyes.

Sidharth couldn't control his emotions anymore. He hugged her tightly and broke into tears.
