Sidharth attended the call with a smile. He held it near his ear and kept quiet. He waited for the other person to speak. But no response came from the other side. His smile started to fade and he said-

"Bologi kuch?" Still no response. He took a deep breath and made himself calm.

"Kya hua baba?" He asked sweetly.

"Main naraaz hoon aapse". A cute female voice came from the other side which brought back his smile.

"Kyu baba? Mera baccha kyu naraaz hai mujhse?" He asked lovingly.

"Abhi time kya hua hai Sidharth?" She asked sternly. He quickly looked at his watch and hit his forehead. 'SHIT' he mumbled.

"Sorry baby... mai abhi aa rha hoon... Theek hai? Tu wahi rukna..." He said but didn't get any reply. "Tu sun rahi hai?" He asked to which she hummed. "Bas 10 min... mai pohonch rha hoon". He said before hanging up.

A girl was standing at the bus stop. She was wearing a pink kurti and her hair was opened. She kept looking to the left side of the road. It was going to be dark soon and she was getting more impatient by every passing minute. She looked at her watch in every two minutes.

"Kaha reh gaya ye? Abhi andhera bhi hone wala hai... mama ji to aaj meri class leke hi rahenge... Mujhe khud ghar jaane nhi deta aur time pe lene bhi nhi aata... Hadh hai!" She mumbled to herself.

That's when she saw a black BMW m8 coming her way. She sighed in relief. The car stopped in front of her but she stood looking at the other side. The person inside the car pressed the horn but she stood unaffected. Then the mirror of the driver's seat was pulled down revealing a smiling face of Sidharth Shukla. She sneaked at him and saw him winking at her. But she suddenly turned her face to the other side ignoring him.

"Sorry na darling... thoda late ho gaya... sorry. Ab chal.. aaja". He said with a puppy eyes. But she didn't gave any bhaav to him.

"Babbbyyyyy......" He whined for earning her attention and he succeed. She looked at him with an angry pout which he thought was adorable. "Aaja na yaar... sorry bola na maine..."

"Aap kon ho bhaisaab?" She asked with a poker face. That irked him.

"Kya? Kya boli? Bhaisaab?" He asked with disgust.

"Aur kya bulau aapko BHAISAAB?" She intentionally called that again to irritate him.

"Dekho... mujhe pata hai ki tu naraaz hai, par ye bhaisaab bhaisaab mere saath math karo aa... Chup chaap aake gaadi mein baitho..." He said sternly.

"Mai kyu baithu? Mai to aapko nhi jaanti... phir kyu aau aapke saath?" She asked in an angry tone.

"Ye kya bakwaas kar rhi hai tu? Kaise boldiya ke nayi jaanti ho mujhe?" He asked fuming in anger. She royally ignored him. "Aake gaadi mai baitho Shehnaaz..." He said in a dominating tone.

"Nhi... mujhe nhi aana tumhare saath..." She said without looking at him.

"Gussa mat dilao mujhe... aakhri baar bol rha hoon aake gaadi mai baitho!" He almost shouted. He controlled his anger as they were at the road side.

"Maine bola na nhi aana mujhe... aap jao" She stood stubbornly.

"Aise nhi maanegi..." He mumbled and got down from the car. He walked towards her in anger and held her wrist tightly. "Chalo..." He said with some authority.

"Maine bola na nhi... Abhi chodo mujhe". She said wriggling under his grip.

"Sana mera dimaag mat sada... Chal yaha se". He said as he pulled her harshly to the car. She tried to free herself but couldn't as she was just 1/3rd of him.

"Kya kar rhe ho? Chodo Sidharth...."

"Andhar baitho chup chap". He ordered opening the door to the passenger seat.

"Pehle chodo mujhe..." She said angrily.

"Zid mat kar...." He yelled pushing her inside before closing the door. She looked staight angrily. Her nose were flaring up. He let out a sigh and calmed himself and got into the driver's seat. He looked at her and saw her angry face. He found that cute and smiled at her. But she didn't looked at him. He held her chin and turned her face to him.

"Gussa hai baby?" He asked with a goofy smile. She removed his hand from her chin and continued looking straight. He chuckled and lean towards her.

He nuzzled his face in her shoulder and breathed her scent. She's smelling fresh even at this time. She tried to push his head from her shoulder but it didn't work. He quickly pecked the side of her neck making her more angry.

"Dur hato mujhse..." She said pushing his head.

"Naayi..." He said cutely placing his head back on her shoulder. No one would say it's The same Sidharth Shukla, who killed a man mercilessly an hour ago.

"Waise to yaad nhi aati... Aur abhi bada pyaar aa rha hai". She mumbled.

"Kisne bola baby ki yaad nhi aati?" He said in a baby voice. "Mujhe to humesha Teri hi yaad aati hai... Tere siwai mera hai hi kon..." He said in a sad tone. She sensed his smile fading and thought to change the topic.

"Bas bas.... Gaadi chalo... Already itna late ho gaya...". She said pushing him again. He gave a kiss on her cheek and went back to driving position.

He started driving the car. She kept looking out of the window silently. He wasn't used to her silence. "Tu kuch bol kyu nhi rhi hai? Baat kar na baby...." He said.

"Mujhe kuch baat nhi karni..." She said not looking at him.

"Baapre... Itna gussa..." He was looking at the road then at her. "Idhar dekh..." But she didn't looked at him. "Idhar dekhna meri jaan..." He repeated more sweetly this time and she did as he said.

"Kya hai...?" She asked annoyingly.

"Sorry bola na baba maine..."

"Kya sorry? Kitni der se wait kar rhi thi waha pe tera, pata hai tujhe? Agar mujhe koi pakad leta to?"

"Chance hi nhi hai... Tereko koi haath laga ke dikhaaye, Haath Tod donga mai saale ka". He said in a furious tone.

"Kal se mai khud chali jaaungi... Tujhe lene aane ki koi zarurat nhi". She said in a cold voice.

"Bilkul nhi... Tu akele nhi jaayegi... Mai hi lene aaunga tujhe... Khabardar agar akele chali gyi to". He warned her.

"3 ghanta wait Kiya hai aaj maine tera".

"Kuch kaam mein phass Gaya tha darling... Time ka pata hi nhi chala...".

"Mujhse bhi zyada zaroori tha kya?"

"Tujhse zyada zaroori kya kaam ho sakta hai meri life mein?" He said pinching her cheek.

"Mat kar..." She shouted. Just then she looked at the back seat and there was his shirt.
"Ye tumhari shirt haina?" She asked picking it up.

"Mat dekh usko..." Before he could warn she straightened it and saw the shirt covered in blood. He hit his forehead and stuck his eyes on the road as he know She was glaring at him. Then she opened the dashboard in front of her and saw his gun. He saw her taking the gun and placing it back.

"Ye kaam tha..." She said to herself. She sat numb. Soon her eyes become teary. That was the one thing Sidharth couldn't bear.

"Sweetheart... Tujhe nhi pata poori baat".

"Rehne de... Janna bhi nhi hai mujhe". She didn't let him complete. He ran his hand through his hair in frustration.
"Tere liye ye sab mujhse zyada zaroori haina... Meri to koi value hi nhi hai... Mai hi pagal hoon jo intezaar kar rhi thi Tera. Tu to mujhe bhool gya tha...". As she completed her statement. He pulled over on the road side. She looked at his angry face shockingly.

He held her face harshly and brought her closer Looking straight into her eyes. She flinched on his act.
"Abhi bol diya jo bol diya... Ab Dobaara mat bolna ki mai tumhe bhool sakta hoon...". He said terrifying her. "Aisa sochna bhi mat kabhi...". He left her face but she still looked at him without blinking. He realised she was scared. Her fear and tear was the last things he wanted to see. He cursed himself after seeing her fearing him. He calmed himself and caressed her cheek lovingly.

"Tu sab kuch hi meri... Sab kuch. Tujhe bhool kar ek pal bhi nhi reh sakta Mai... Saas bhi nhi le pata mai... I love you Shehnaaz ...much more that you can ever imagine". He said sweetly. Seeing his face, her eyes got teary and she hugged him tightly.
He felt a wave of relief running through his body upon her touch. He closed his eyes and felt her body against his. He caressed her hair when he heard her sobbing softly on his shoulder.

"Ro mat meri jaan... Mai nhi dekh sakta na tujhe aise... Please..." He said pleading. She backed off and wiped the tears. His hand was still in her hair. She smiled at him seeing to which his heart felt peace.

"I love you too Sidharth". She said and he smiled widely. "Ab chalo... Raat hone waali hai." She said as he chuckled before starting to drive.
