N O T E

The response on my both book is very very poor. Don't feel like writing now. 🥺 Tum log response kyu nahi dete yaar! How rude of you? 😏 Because of you all I'll stop writing fan fiction one day. Kyu ki isse mera koie faida ho nahi raha hai technically. Apart from just trying to better my writing skill. To write an original. Mom puch rahi hai, "Tera book kab publish hoga?". She don't know I write fan fiction. Not original book which I can publish as a book. Kya musibat hai yaar!! 😂😭

Happy reading guys... enjoy... And please do comment, do vote and do follow me... Thank you... 😊❤

"Papa! Kya baat hai? Ap tension mein lag rahe hai? Is everything alright with her?" Sidharth asked getting restless

"Puttar ji, apko pata hai Shehnaaz ka matlab hai king's pride. Matlab ek raja ka garv, abhiman. Woh naam maine bohot soch ke aur pyaar se rakha tha. Jab main chota tha, tab meri maa mujhe Raja bulate the pyaar se. Shehnaaz bohot mushkil se pehda hui thi. Complication tha pregnancy mein, Preet ji ka. Laga tha nahi bachegi. Par woh fight kar ke pehda hui thi. Jab usko pehli baar haat mein lia, laga zindegi safal hogaya mera. Ab aur kuch nahi chahiye mujhe. Bas woh kafi hai. Itni choti si aur pyaari si nanhi si jaan mere haat mein tha. Mera haath kanp raha tha. But it was world's best feeling for me." Gurman said smiling reminiscing that moment

"Wow! Beautiful name having a beautiful back story." Sidharth smiled widely

"Haan. Par jab usko uss halat mein dekha. Rote huye. Dard mein chilla te huye. Help mange huye. Mera dil tut gaya tha uski halat dekh ke. Bar bar bolti thi marna hai usko. Bohot dard hota hai mujhe usko dard mein dekh ke. Puttar ji, I'm sorry. Jo maine apse itna galat tarike se baat kia tha. Apko blame kia iss sab ke liye. Baap ka dil hai. Iss liye hogaya galti." Gurman apologised feeling guilty

Sidharth himself was feeling guilty looking down that time. Gurman kept his left hand on his shoulder gaining his attention,"Puttar ji."

"Nahi sir, ap mafi mat mangiye please. Ap sahi the apki jagah. Mujhse galti toh.." Sidharth was interrupted by him

"Nahi puttar ji, galti dono se hui thi. Ap dono careless the. Bas hogaya jo hona tha. Ab hum kuch nahi kar sakte. Mujhe apse mafi magna tha. Jaise maine behave kia tha apke saath. Galat kia kahi naa kahi. Iss liye maine yeh topic uthaya. Ap mujhe hamesha se pasand the, meri bacchi ke liye." Gurman's words made him shocked

"Kya?" Sidharth asked

"Haan, puttar ji. Jab apko dekha tha meeting mein. Aur apka soch aurton ke liye. Mujhe ap acche lage the bohot. Socha tha apke mummy se baat karunga kuch mahine baad. Bhagya ka khel dekhiye. Baba ji, ke kripa se wahi horaha hai. Apki aur Shehnaaz ki shaadi. Ap dono EK DUJE KE VAASTE hi bane hai. Yeh kismat ka khel tha, ap dono ko milane ke liye." Gurman said making him more shocked

"Papa!!" Sidharth was confused what to say now

"Mujhe apse ek request karna tha. Mujhe pata hai ap karoge bina bole hi. Par phir bhi, baap hoon naa. Ap please meri bacchi ka khayal rakhna. Uska saath dena. Hamesha. Usko saari khushiya dena. Sirf 23 saal ki hai. Bohot innocent hai. Usko protection ki zarurat hai." Gurman was interrupted by Sidharth

"Sir, you don't need to request me. I'm getting married to her. She will be my wife. It's my duty to take care of her. Protect her and support her. I'll do my best. Ap china mat kariye." Sidharth said assuring him

"Mujhe pata hai puttar ji. Main kuch aur bol raha hoon. Protect matlab, gande logo se. Ab dekh nahi sakti woh kon kya kar raha hai uske peeth peeche. Usko harm karne ki koshish kar raha hai. Khud ko protect nahi kar sakti woh pehle jaise. Par mehsoos kar sakti hai logo ki uspe gandi nazare. Ap please uska khayal rakhna." Gurman requests folding hands, with moist eyes. Sidharth immediately holds his hand firmly.

"Papa, haat mat jodiye. Yeh toh mera farz hai. Uska khayal rakhna. Usko protect karna. After all, she will be my wife. Aur mujhe pata hai bohot log unke halat ka galat faida uthate hai. Galat tarike se chute hai. Try karte hai. Par, ap aise kyu bol rahe hai? Kisi ne kuch kia hai kya Shehnaaz ke saath? Did anyone tried to misbehave with her?" Sidharth got angry and voice got stern in end just with the thought of someone misbehaving with her.

"Ji, ab kya bolu. Ap Shehnaaz se direct puch lijiye. Woh, bolegi toh better hoga." Gurman's words made him more angry

"Papa! Ap hi bol dijiye naa. Kon hai woh? Yaha hai kya woh? Aur Shehnaaz ne mana kyu kia? Yeh koie baat hai chupane wali." Sidharth asked seething in anger

"Usne mujhe naam nahi bola hai aur naa uske mummy ko. Bas bola tha, kisi ne usko galat tarike se touch kia hai. Kon yeh nahi bola. Ap please pata lagaiye naa?" Gurman requested folding hands to him again

"Papa! Please stop folding hands. Papa, hum dost bane hai abhi abhi. Apko lagta hai woh bolegi mujhe? Apko aur mummy ko nahi bola toh mujhe kya bolegi? Should I ask her friend Raj to talk? Shayed! Usko bol de?" Sidharth said in doubt

"Raj ko iss sab se dur rakhiye. Ap mein aur Raj mein bohot fark hai. Woh dost hai uski. Aur ap honewala pati hai. Ap haq se aur pyaar se puchiye bol degi. Woh! Hum parents hai naa. Shayed! Uncomfortable hogi bolne mein kon hai. Agar family mein se koie hua. Toh gaya woh. Ap please baat kariye usse." Gurman again requests him

"Yeh kab hua tha?" Sidharth asked

"Kariban 3 mahine pehle." Gurman replied

"Hmm! Ghar pe koie aya tha kya? Yaad kariye." Sidharth asked farther

"Puttar ji, ghar pe aya toh thode bohot log hai. Kuch rishtedar. Mere aur Preet ji ke. Aur Shehnaaz ka dost Happy aur.. Haan! Bas itna hi. Usko dekhne aye the sab." Gurman's words left him in deep thought who it can be.

"Thik hai papa. I'll talk to her after this function." Sidharth agreed making him nods.

***

"Main upar kaise jaun?" Sana asked in confusion standing infront of stairs to go up upstairs to show him her original bedroom

They didn't went yesterday. The function ended late at night. So, they shifted their plan for today. Taking this as an opportunity, Sidharth thought to talk with her alone now. Even guests are gone now. They can freely talk alone.

"Kaise matlab? Jaise jate hai. Chal ke. Yah tum bolo toh godi mein utha loon tumhe. Only if you want to. Zyada weight nahi hai tumhari. I can easily carry you." Sidharth said casually

"Haye! Baba ji. Ap kya bol rahe hai?" She grasped

"Toh aur kya bolu? Tum stupid si question puch rahi ho." He chuckled seeing her cute shocked face

"Nahi. Mere kehne ka matlab tha. Main hospital se wapas ake ek bar bhi upar nahi gayi. Toh kaise jaun? Mera practice nahi hai naa." She explained her real problem

"Oh! Tum gayi nahi. Toh.. abhi.." He got tensed now

"Ji, ap ek kaam kariye. Ap khud jake dekh lijiye naa. Mujhe isse dur rakhiye. Yeh accha idea hai. Nahi?" She suggested with a faint smile hiding her pain.

"No. I won't go alone. You have to come with me. It's your bedroom not mine. Aur main waisa ladka nahi hoon jo aise hi kisi ke bhi bedroom mein chala jaye. You have to come. Aur haan, jab tum hamare ghar chalogi, toh aise hi sidhi chadni padegi. Mera bedroom bhi upar hai. I'm not gonna shift for you for sure. I love my bedroom. Toh abhi se practice shuru karo tum." He said adamantly making her shocked

"I know you're not happy that your parents shifted you in their bedroom. Socha hoga, ab dikh nahi sakti kaise karegi akele upar niche. They were not wrong at their place too. Protective hai. But now I'm here. I'll try to make your life as normal as I can. I promise." His thoughts broke with her voice

"Ap itna ziddi kyu hai?" She frowned

"Bachpan se darling. Ek kaam karo mera haat pakad lo. SAATH mein chalte hai. Sahara nahi de raha hoon. You're guiding me remember? I don't know where's your bedroom." He suggested forwarding his hand to her

"Ap!?" She grasped listening his words, especially the way he called her "darling" for the first time. Her cheeks automatically become red like tomatoes.

Sidharth noticed her blush and reaction, and realized what he called her unknowingly. And smiled himself like a fool.

"Ahh! Shehnaaz, haat pakdo naa yaar. Yah main haat pakdu?" He asked like a gentleman making her amazed

"Ap!? Ajeeb hai. Aur ziddi bhi." She finally give up and holds his hand

"That's like a good girl." He smiled happily and holds her hand firmly

Both felt some sensation as their hands met. For it, both were confused. But ignoring it, Sidharth holds her from back for support. She grasped with his sudden gesture, as his hand was on her naked back. Her green lehenga's blouse was backless. Seeing her little uncomfortable, he removed his hand, covered her back with dupatta properly then again holds her.

"Ap bohot acche hai, Sidharth ji. Koie aur hota toh shayed galat faida uthata mera." Sana thought smiling. Her smile didn't go unnoticed by him. And a smile comes on his face automatically.

"I won't do anything against your will. I won't touch you or get close to you, without your permission. Even after our marriage. Using my right on you being your husband. I won't force myself on you ever. You will be my wife, not my possession." His words made her stunt

"Sidharth ji..!" She was interrupted by him

"Accha! Yeh sab chodo. Suno abhi hum steps count kar ke uthenge. I have already counted. There's 9 steps. Jaise hi ek step uthenge, we will count. Done." His words made her shock again

"Shehnaaz, don't give me this look. Focus on the steps. Chadhne mein agar 5-10min bhi lage doesn't matter. Uthna important hai. Understand? Chalo ab. Right pair upar karo aur flat surface pe rakho. Phir left. Aram se karna. Zaldi karne ki zarurat nahi hai. Thik hai. Chalo, hum saath mein karenge." He instructed and she followed it without a word.

As both stand on the first step. Shehnaaz smiled happily. As if it's a big achievement for her. Indeed it is. She didn't dare to do it herself, with the fear of falling down. Even her parents didn't ask her to do, with their help. For being extra protective for her. But now she's doing with Sidharth. She understood his unsaid words, why he said he won't shift downstairs for her. He won't give up his bedroom. It was for her. He must have noticed her sad face and understood she is not happy being shifted downstairs.

"Ap bohot acche hai." Sana thought smiling

"Chale? 2nd step pe?" He asked smiling seeing her happy.

Shehnaaz nods excitedly and both started to cross nine steps slowly, together. All this was seen by their parents who shared a smile to each other.

"Dono ek duje ke vaaste hi bane hai ji." Preet said, and other two nods in unison with a smile.

"Main bohot khush hoon dono ke liye. Bhabi ji ap mujhe maf kar dijiye. Jo mere wajah se Sidharth puttar ko takleef hua hai. Jab ki mujhe pata tha meri bacchi ke liye wahi sahi ladka hai." Gurman apologised feeling guilty

"Arey! Mafi mat mangiye bhai sahab. Ap sahi the apki jagah. Ap papa hai Shehnaaz bacchi ki. Apka gussa aur narazgi natural tha. Ab khud ko kosiye mat. Balki apki baba ji se pray kariye hamare bacche saath mein khush rahe hamesha." Anjali requested and her parents agreed with her

They looked back at them and saw both reached near the top almost.

"We reached the top!!" Sana exclaimed happily making him smile

"Hmm! Abhi hum kaha jaye? There's two way. Right yah left? Yaha terrace hai kya?" Sidharth asked checking both sides, standing in middle holding her hand firmly.

"Haan. Main naa raat ko chad pe chali jati thi taare dekhne. Mujhe accha lagta hai Stars." She said happily but her face fall thinking she can't see stars again.

His mood also gets off seeing her sad face. And blamed himself again for her condition again.

"Sidharth ji, right chaliye." She instructed him.

"Hmm! Chalo." He said, then both went towards her room.

Entering inside her bedroom, first he made her sit on bed comfortably. Then got busy checking her simple but beautiful room. Room's wall was in white, so was the ceiling. Rather than light yellow which is her current bedroom's colour, her parents one. There's two big glass windows, like her current one. Light wooden furnitures.

"Wow! It's so pretty and so peaceful. You like white colour?" He asked as her room was of white.

"Haan. My favourite. Aur isse room mein lights nahi lagti uthna. Bahar suraj ka jo roshni hai woh room mein ata hai, windows se. Bade bade glass windows hai." She replied cheerfully

"Hmm! Smart ho tum." He praised making her smile shyly

He notice in her room there's a double bed having a side table beside it. A three door cupboard. A dressing table with a big mirror having some bindi on it. Many makeup products, lipsticks, perfumes and other necessary items were on display. He understood she loves makeup, but mostly lipstick. There's a collection of it having different shades. From nude, pink to red and brown.

"Looks like you love make up. But mostly lipstick. Huh?" He asked seeing her from mirror holding a lipstick

"Haan. Bohot." She replied

His eyes travelled to his right and saw a rocking chair, near a window. He walked close to it and removed the curtains and saw the beautiful view of black starry sky on top and a clear water pond on ground having the reflection of the beautiful sky. Just beside it's little right, there's a book shelf having many poem, short stories, drama and novel books. In both Hindi and English. Of different genres. Like in Romantic, The Fifty shades series and few others. Then drama, sci-fi, tragedy and fantasy. Harry Potter series books was there. He got an idea she loves to read books.

"Yeh bahar ka nazara bohot beautiful hai. Black starry sky on top and clear water pond on ground. Tumhe toh maza ata hoga books padhne mein. Hmm?" He asked running his hands through her books

"Haan. Bohot. Winter mein zyada. Cold weather, dark night, hot coffee yah tea, books and some soft music. Perfect combination. Nahi?" She replied cheerfully, hiding her pain from him thinking he will again blame himself, if he got to know she is sad with a fact she won't be able to read those books again like before.

For a second she felt, she is missing so much of him and will miss in future too. She won't be able to read his expression and his eyes which he will hide by his happy cheerful voice in future. If he gets hurt by her or get angry on her. He will hide his pain like an expert. She knows he can do it. Act normal, hiding his pain from her. This thought broke her somewhere that she won't be a good wife for him. Who will understand his unsaid words and pain. Her eyes automatically become moist with the thought.
