There was an unknown happiness in Sidharth's heart as Shehnaaz returned home. The one who found it difficult to sleep few minutes back now slept well.

Shehnaaz woke up early and cleaned up the entire house before entered his room to clean. His room was all disoriented as she had not cleaned it earlier.

He opened his eyes and saw her face. He didn't utter a word as she had already told him the reason for entering his life, his house and his room. He sat down and watched at her picking up his clothes. He got down from the bed and held the cloth in her hand.

Sidharth: You can instruct me, I will do it myself.

She looked at him in his eyes and he left the cloth immediately.

Why do I feel weak when I look into her eyes? What strange effect does it have on me? Her almond shaped eyes are sharper than the sword and I have to admit that I fear to look into it. Fear of losing myself to it.

He slowly walked out of the room to freshen up. When he came back he found her trying to remove the cobweb in the corner of the ceiling but her hands were not reaching it. He went behind her and pulled out the broom from her hand. She kept gazing at him. Though he was aware of it but he glued his eyes at the ceiling.

Once done she moped and dusted his room and it was now clean and presentable. She arranged his bed properly and went out and got her belongings.

Shehnaaz: Can you open your wardrobe and make some space for me? Until then I will freshen up.

He nodded and opened up his wardrobe to arrange his clothes properly into one side. She came back, her hair was tied in a towel and she smelt great whenever she passed besides him, her fragrance drove him crazy. She arranged her clothes beside his clothes.

He sat on the bed and observed her. The wet towel slipped through her silky hair and travelled down making it heavier to carry. She pulled it off and stroked her wet hair and left them open to dry. Those wet hair could alone drive anyone nuts. He was melting in her presence, just like a wax under the influence of fire.

Is it okay to get attracted to your own wife? I never observed her earlier and now I simply can't ignore her.

Wait a minute! Did you just call her your wife?

Yeah, if I don't call my wife as my wife then should I be calling my neighbour's wife as my wife? I married her.

But, you never accepted it! Besides she will go away again after 4 days.

His face became dull automatically when he thought that she will go back. He decides to be nicer to her now atleast for 4 days because of the guilt he had of being rude to her earlier.

There was a knock on the door. She ran to the door in excitement just like a little kid who runs to greet her father who returned from office. Sidharth smiled and followed her. She opens the door and hugs Rudhra.

Rudhra hugs her with a big smile. Sidharth lips curled up looking at their smiling faces.

Shehnaaz: Bhaiya, I missed you so much!

Rudhra: I missed you too. Happy Diwali Doll.

Shehnaaz: Happy Diwali to you too Bhaiya

Rudhra: Now can I come inside the house?

Shehnaaz: (facepalms) Sorry bhaiyya. Come in.

Rudhra: Happy Diwali Jijaji

Sidharth: Happy Diwali

Rudhra hands over sweets and gifts to Sidharth.

Rudhra: Please wear these clothes for today's evening pooja.

Shehnaaz: Bhaiyya, you can stay with your Jijaji in the room and I will occupy this Diwan.

Rudhra: No way, I am fine with Diwan. I don't want to third wheel between a couple.

Sidharth: Our house is too small. Sorry you have to adjust in hall.

Shehnaaz stared at Sidharth, as he was agreeing to Rudhra when they knew the fact that the bed wasn't big enough for them to lie comfortably and maintaining the distance.

Rudhra: Nothing to worry, I have been to places where you don't even get a proper bed. (Winks and Laughs)

Shehnaaz looks at Sidharth because Rudhra meant to say he stayed in police lockup. Sidharth passed a faint smile. Shehnaaz goes to get breakfast for everyone.

Rudhra: Jijaji, though Sana told me good things about you, yet I hope you are treating her well.

Sidharth: Sana? Which Sana?

Rudhra: How many Sana do you know? I am talking about Shehnaaz, Sana is her pet name. Didn't she tell you?

Sidharth nods no.
What a coincidence? Her pet name is Sana!

Sidharth: So, how is life?

Rudhra: What is there in my life? We were orphaned when Sana was 7 and I was 12. Since then she had been my only source of happiness, and now after her marriage, I am left alone.

Sidharth: You can always reach out to her on her phone. By the way, how did you manage alone after your parents left you?

Sidharth was curious to know about his occupation since Shehnaaz told him that he was a goon.

Rudhra: I did all odd jobs like washing soiled plates and glasses, cleaning cars, coolie, distributed newspapers etc. I never kept my sister hungry even for a day's single meal. I made sure she studied though I couldn't afford to study myself. I was a brilliant student when my parents left me.

One day, a loafer teased Sana on her way back home from school. I hit him black and blue and I was locked up behind bars but a big shot guy gave a bail and I started working as his bodyguard. However, I still have created my reputation as a goon infront of society just to scare people away from teasing my sister again.

Even Sana doesn't know this secret. I can now disclose it just because she is married and you are there as her armour. She still thinks I am a goon and that I spend time behind lockup. (He winks) She will feel bad if she hears that I took bad name to protect her. So don't tell her this secret.

Sidharth was awestruck listening to his sacrifices to raise his sister.

Shehnaaz: What's the secret you are telling him bhaiyya?

Rudhra: Aaa.. mmm.. doll, that's between me and my Jijaji.

Shehnaaz frowned as she passed the breakfast to both of them.

Shehnaaz: Now, I am unwanted to you!

Rudhra: (pulled her) Come here! (Sits beside him on Diwan) Secret that I can do anything for my sister's happiness.

He gives her a first bite of his food. She smiles and hugs him.

Shehnaaz: That's not a secret, I already know it since the first time I saw you beating a hell out of an eve-teaser on the road for teasing me. From that day onward, not only the entire town but even I started getting scared of your wrath. Not for me but for people who could get caught for doing bad to me.

Though Shehnaaz's words were towards other's but Sidharth felt guilty.

He never kept her hungry for a single meal and she fainted due to fasting and dehydration because of me. Those harsh and mean words I spoke against her. If he comes to know then he will beat me blue and black as well. Dangerous Duo!! While brother can punish someone for his sister, sister can kill anyone with with those eyes.
