Shehnaaz reached home and straight away went to Pammi Ji's room

Pammi Ji was surprised seeing Shehnaaz home so early.

But Shehnaaz went straight and hugged her tightly
Pammi Ji could feel the intensity of the hug
it was like she was trying to hide herself in her motherly embrace.. and Pammi Ji wasn't complaining
She embraced her with her motherly vibes.

After few minutes Shehnaaz broke the hug.
Pammi Ji did not let her speak anything

She made her sit on the floor near the bed and went inside the bathroom to get her special oil

She sat on the bed above Shehnaaz and started doing her champi
(#SidNaazKiChampi)

Shehnaaz relaxed under the massage.. it worked like magic

After a good champi session Pammi Ji asked her

Pammi Ji: ab bata kya hua hai?
Kyu itni tension mai hai?

Shehnaaz just looked at her in surprise

Shehnaaz: aapko kaise pata?

Pammi Ji: bass pata hai.. ab bata kya hua hai?

Shehnaaz did not want to give her tension by telling her about the notes she received

Shehnaaz: Shefu ki shaadi hai 15 days mai.. kaise hoga sab manage..wahi soch rahi thi

Pammi Ji: pata hai mujhe.. uska call aya tha batane..
And kaise hoga manage matlab?
Tumhari company yahi kaam toh karti hai..
Aur Shefali ki shaadi tum logo se better koi nahi arrange kar sakta..
Yaad rakh yeh baat

Shehnaaz just nodded

Shehnaaz: aapko pata hai na ke uski shaadi Kushal se ho rahi hai?
And shaadi mai Siddharth bhi ayega?

Pammi Ji sighed.. she cannot forget what those people did to her daughter
Even though she was on the side wherein she asked Shehnaaz to let the kids meet him but he coming back to Shehnaaz's life is not something she will be okay with.

Pammi Ji: jaanti hu.. tujhe yaad ho toh maine hi tujhe usse baccho se milane kaha tha..
Par uska matlab yeh nahi ke maine usse maaf kar dia hai
Yeh baat tu bhi samajhle..
Shefali ke liye mai bahut zyada khush hu..
Par agar tune bhi yeh failsa lia sab bhulake usse apnaneka toh mujhe nahi pata mai khush houngi ya nahi.

Shehnaaz was taken aback by her thoughts.
Her beeji is the most soft hearted person in the world.. and she being so hard on someone shows how much she is hurt.

Shehnaaz lay on her lap and hugged her waist

Shehnaaz: aap ki tarah mai bhi nahi bhuli woh sab beeji
Maine pehle hi bola tha usko ke hum sirf Zoro and Zara ke maa baap hai
Meri zindagi mai uske liye koi jagah nahi hai.

Pammi Ji kept patting her head and soon sleep took over her and she went into a deep deep slumber.

Work..responsibility of growing Zoro and Zara.. Shefali's wedding and now this stalker.. everything was taking a toll on her..
She needed to sleep it off.

Pammi Ji laid her head on the pillow..she tucked her to bed and went out
She felt something was off about her today.. work pressure is not something for which Shehnaaz can come home early.
There was definitely something which is bothering her.
But she also knew that Shehnaaz would not tell her by herself..
She decided to wait for the correct time.

It was 5 in the evening when Shehnaaz felt kisses on her entire face.
She giggled softly and hugged her munchkins tightly.

Zara: mumma saas nai aa rahi

Shehnaaz lossened the grip but still kept them in her embrace and slept again hugging them.
After a few more minutes she finally opened her eyes and saw the most relieving sight
Both her munchkins smiling at her.
She kissed their foreheads

Zara: aap kab aaye mumma? Hume toh beeji ne abhi bola ke aap aaye ho ghar aur aapko chai ke liye bulake laaye
Aap hume milne bhi nahi aaye.

Shehnaaz: mumma aap dono ke good news dene aai thi
Par beeji ne mujhe sula hi dia

Zoro: aise kaise sula dia?

Shehnaaz: jaise mumma aapko sulati hai waise beeji bhi mumma ki mumma hai na..

The both nodded like they understood everything

Zara: arey par good news toh bataoooo !!!

Shehnaaz chuckled

Shehnaaz: Shefu massi ki shaadi hai 15 days mai.

Zara: ohh wow.. shaadi.. hum khub maza karenge mumma
Shefu massi bhi woh red kapde pehnegi?

Shehnaaz: haan

Zoro: toh aapne bhi pehne they woh red kapde?

Shehnaaz: nahi.. mai kyu pehnu?

Zoro: toh woh red kapde pehne bina hi mai aur Zara aa gaye?

Zoro asked innocently
But little did that baby know which deep wounds he has just re opened
Shehnaaz had heard a lot of taunts and comments related to this.
Being a single mother is not easy in this kind of society

Shehnaaz: mumma ko aap dono ke liye koi red kapde pehene ki zarurat nahi padi
Aap dono mujhe blessing mai mile ho.

Zara: wooooow...

Saying she giggled.

Both the kids dragged Shehnaaz down for tea

The entire family after a lot of time spent the evening together
Pammi Ji had fried paneer and potato bhajjis to go with tea.
All of them relished the snacks with Zara's constant blabbering.

Zoro was sleeping laying his head on Shehnaaz's lap.
She was moving her fingers in his hair.

How much similar his habits were with his father.
Even Siddharth loved when she ran her fingers in his hair.

This is what calmed Shehnaaz.. her family.. their smiles and their vibes
Her restless heart instantly calms down when she sees them smiling.

She always prays to her Babaji that the smiles never leave their faces.
------------------------------------
At Night:

Shehnaaz was patting the kids foreheads
They were almost asleep.

After few more pats and 2 more lullabies both of them slept.
She tucked them to their beds properly.. kissed their foreheads
She then switched off the side lamps and left their room.

She then came back to her room..she switched on the lights and went to her walk in closet to change.

She came out wearing her night clothes and was about to switch of the lights she heard the breaking sound of the window

It scared the shit out of her.
With shakey legs and sweaty palms she moved towards the window.
What catches her attention is the paper wrapped stone.. which was thrown and caused the window to break.

Calming her restless heart she takes the stone and unwraps it.

The paper had a note on it

Tumhe apna banane ki kasam khai hai..
And I am a man of my words
Be prepared.. you are soon gonna come back to where you belong
My Arms

~love you <3

Shehnaaz thumped on her bed..what was happening with her.
Who is this man?
And why is her after her?
How does he know where is she?

She groaned in frustration.. how can someone know her every move?

She decided that she is not gonna live scared.

She tore the note.. went to the window.. opened it..
She threw the pieces outside the window and closed it
She even closed the curtains.. switched off the lights and went to sleep.

She was done worrying about him.. if he did not have guts to face her then he is no threat
-----------------------------‐------
At Siddharth's house

Rana has sent him video of the things which  happened after he threw the stone.

He knew that his baby will be scared and maybe will not be able to sleep the entire night.
But if she is understanding that she belongs to him then he was ready to sacrifice her 1 nights sleep.

He was watching the video

She had just come to the window..she was looking so cute in her white night suit.
The moonlight making her look so beautiful
He was just admiring her face

But the next thing what she did annoyed him

He saw how she tore the note and threw it out of her window
She also closed the curtains.

He closed the video and and threw the phone on his bed

He went towards the wall which he had gotten painted witn Shehnaaz's picture

Siddharth: Shehnaaz... jaan... kab tak inkaar karogi?
Aaj nahi toh kal tumhe manna hi hoga na ke tum meri ho.. jaise mai tumhara hu
Toh kyu aise react kar rahi ho
Pyaar se samjha raha hu toh samaj jaao na baby.. kyu mujhe haddh paar karne majboor kar rahi ho ha?

He said caressing her picture with his fingers.

Siddharth: yeh sab se meri jaan manne wali nahi hai.. mujhe personally usse ehsaas karana hoga ke woh meri thi.. meri hai aur meri rahegi.

He kissed her picture and went to sleep.
He had planned something for the next day and he was sure that after that the message will be very clear to her.
