"Congratulations! Ab ap dono legally married huye." Said the magistrate office man as Sidharth and Shehnaaz signed the marriage register papers.

"Thank you. Papers ap inko bhej dena." Sidharth said pointing Gurman.

"Ji. Thik hai." The man replied

"Sidharth tu bacchi ki maang mein sindoor aur gale mein mangalsutra dal de. Ritual ke hisab se bhi hojayega." Anjali said

He obliged and put vermilion into her hair partition and put black beaded neptual chain around her neck. He noticed some vermilion was on her nose which he cleaned with his thumb. All clapped and congratulated them. Raj and Happy was there being her friend.

"Congratulations! Hope you both have a wonderful life." Raj wished making Shehnaaz grasped but Sidharth smiled.

"Isko kya hogaya? Bada chilled out sound kar raha hai? Haldi ke waqt bhi chill tha." Sana thought in wonder

"Thanks Raj. And yes, you can come to meet her in Mumbai." Sidharth said genuinely

"Great! I'll come to meet her soon then. I can't live without her. I'm very depended on her. Bachpan se hi aisa hoon. Har chiz mein mujhe uski zarurat thi. She used to take care of me." Raj explained and Sidharth smiled.

"Like a girlfriend or wife." Raj said farther smriking and his smile got vanished.

"Bohot bakwas karta hai tu. Friends log aise hi ek dusre ka khayal rakhte hai. What's the big deal in it? Tera padhai aur exam mein maut ata tha. Iss liye apni kasam deke kawati thi. Huh!" Sana said trying to ease the moment.

"Friends log kafi depended hote hai ek dusre pe. It's normal. Mere friends bhi hote the exam ke waqt. I was good in study." Sidharth agreed

"Kasam deke toh tu aaj bhi bohot kuch karwati hai." Raj taunted, and her face fall.

"Kyu ki tu meri baat sunta nahi hai." Sana replied matching his tone

"Oye! Tum dono bas karo. Sidharth paaji ap kuch khilaoge yah nahi? Shaadi ka laddu hi sahi. Kuch toh khila do." Happy barged into their conversation to change the topic

"Of course. Shehnaaz come darling." Sidharth took her towards car holding her hand, making Raj frowned.

"Chal! She is married now. Hadh mein reh." Happy warned before following them.

"Married my foot! Argh!!!!" Raj groaned innerly and followed them.

After having lunch in a posh restaurant they went back Shehnaaz home. Where they had the "bidaai" ritual. Shehnaaz and her parents were crying nonstop, that Sidharth and Anjali had to console them. For Anjali's surprise, she noticed Sidharth's eyes were moist too seeing Shehnaaz crying hugging her parents. Raj and Happy's mood was off. They were about to leave for hotel when Raj called her from behind.

"Bandari mujhse nahi milegi?" Raj called her crying silently

"Raj." Sana looked back at him with moist eyes and opened her arms asking for a goodbye hug

He runs to her and hugged her tightly. Both cried their heart out in each other's arms. Giving a silent promise to each other.

"Abhi tu jaa rahi hai Sana. I'm letting you go now. Sirf tere kasam ke wajah se. But I promise, tu bohot zald yaha ayegi. Mere paas. Phir hum hamesha saath rahenge. Main nahi rehne dunga tujhe iss majburi wali shaadi mein. Ek bar tu ajayegi naa, toh dubara kabhi jane nahi dunga. Khud se kabhi alag nahi karunga tujhe. I promise, we will make our life beautiful." Raj thought

"Main jaa rahi hoon tere life se bohot dur. Hamara pyaar adhura reh gaya yaar. Tu pehle kyu nahi aya yaar Raj? Kyu nahi aya? But, jo bhi ho. Ab reality yahi hai main Sidharth ji ki patni hoon. I have to be loyal towards him. I.. mujhe tujhe bhulna hoga. Unko dil se accept karna padega. Himmat nahi hai mere andar uske liye. Par try karungi karne ki. Aur tujhe bhi life mein age badhna hai. Kisi aur ke saath. Khush rehna tu bhi. Shayed! Iss janam hamara pyaar adhura reh gaya. Agle janam pura ho. I promise, I will keep loving you always." Sana thought before breaking the hug.

"Take care Sana. I'll come to meet you soon." Raj said kissing her forehead softly

"Tu apna khayal rakhna. Aur aunty ka bhi. Sulah karlena unse. Mujhe pata hai tu khush nahi hai." Sana said making him frown

"Uss aurat.." Raj was interrupted by her

"Mummy hai tera. Izzat se baat kar. Tu Raj hai. Sana nahi jo chudel bulaye unko." Sana said giggling making him smile

"Chudel hi hai woh. Meri khushiya kha gaye woh." Raj thought sadly

"Yeh SIRF apke liye. Wedding gift from me. Sana tujhe nahi de raha hoon. Tu toh apna hai. And thanks for the perfume." Raj said giving Sidharth a bag.

"It wasn't needed. But thanks. Shehnaaz chale?" Sidharth said accepting the bag and holds her hand.

"Haan. Chaliye." Sana replied

They went in hotel. There they collected their bags and check out from hotel and left for airport. Reaching there, they saw her parents were also present there for see off. After saying the final goodbye they got in plane.

"Mujhe dar lagta hai." Sana said holding Sidharth's hand tightly in fear before take off

"Kuch nahi hoga Shehnaaz. Realx. Okay! Close your eyes and take deep breaths. Chahe toh mantra wagera padh lo." Sidharth said genuinely but she took it as mockery

"Apko mazak sujh raha hai? Mujhe sach mein dar lagta hai." She frowned making them shocked.

"Main.. Arey! Maine seriously bola tumhe. Hanuman chalisa padho dar nahi lagega tumhe." Sidharth said laughing.

"Ap bohot mean hai. Abhi bhi mazak uda rahe hai ap mera. Huh!" She said making a pout hearing him laughing

Sidharth smiled seeing her cute pouty frown face. He felt like pulling her chubby cheeks lovingly. But stopped himself from doing it.

"Okay! I won't laugh. Including mom." As he said Anjali stopped laughing immediately

"Tum bohot cute ho Shehnaaz." Anjali said pulling her cheeks lovingly

Shehnaaz was sitting inbetween the mother-son duo.

"Kash! Main kar pata." He thought sadly but then smiled widely as her grip became tight on his hand as plane started to take off from land.

"No! That's better." He smiled widely but immediately made his face straight and looked in the front seeing his mother's teasing smirk to him.

"Lagta hai pyaar ka aag lag gaya hai iske taraf se. Ab bas Shehnaaz baki hai. Bas dono khush rahe saath mein. Mujhe aur kuch nahi chahiye bhagwan ji." Anjali silently prayed for them, looking up with fold hands.

"Waah! Mom, apne bhi puja path shuru kar dia. Sahi hai." He said taunting her

"Chup kar tu." Anjali chided making Shehnaaz giggle, which Sidharth admired.

Sidharth noticed Anjali has fallen asleep due to tiredness. Only he and Shehnaaz was awake. He saw her getting bored sitting quietly, so thought to talk a little.

"Shehnaaz?" He whisper in her ear making her flinch

"Amm..!?" She almost screamed but her mouth was covered by him immediately.

"Chillao mat. Mom is sleeping. Aur baki log bhi hai yaar." He informed

Shehnaaz became silent with his words. Moreover feeling his rough big palm against her soft lips pressing tightly. Both felt some sensation. Realising their position Sidharth immediately removed his hand. She took a deep breath holding her chest to catch up with her breath.

"Main dar gayi naa." She said holding her chest looking adorable

"Sorry! Baba. Tum bore horahi thi naa toh socha thoda baat karu. Entertainment hojaogi tumhari thodi." He paused seeing her lost somewhere

"Yeh kya hai baba ji? Inko sab kuch kaise pata chal jata hai? Mere bade mein? Aur Raj ko kyu nahi? Iss liye, kyu ki Raj ne kabhi mujhpe dhiyan hi nahi dia. Mujhe kya chahiye? Kya nahi? Shayed! Iss liye kabhi mera pyaar samajh hi nahi paya woh, aur dosti samjha." She thought getting sad.

"Shehnaaz sad kyu hogayi? Mummy papa aur tumhare friends ki yaad araha hai? Don't worry. Ghar jake fresh hoke call karna sabko. Baat kar lena. Mood accha hojayega." His voice brings her back on earth

"Hmm!" She just hummed.

"Did I praised your beauty today? That how beautiful you were looking in that maroon lehenga?" He asked making her smile shyly

"Nahi. But abhi kar dia apne." She replied softly

"Did I praised you how beautiful you're looking now? In this yellow salwar suit?" He again asked

"Nahi." She replied shyly

"Toh abhi kar dia naa darling. Pari lag rahi ho tum. Yellow fairy." He flirted making her smile shyly

"Did I told you you're looking like a tomato now? Ekdam red red." He teased making her giggle shyly

"Ap bhi naa." She said feeling extremely shy

"Beautiful smile." He said, and she smiled shyly.

"Why do I react like this? On his words? On his flirts? Mujhe toh gussa ana chahiye? Yah phir yeh smile fake honi chahiye? Par real reaction kyu deti hoon? Offend feel kyu nahi hoti hoon main? I love Raj. Toh?" She thought in wonder

"Shayed! Kabhi kisi ne aisa kia nahi. Aise special treatment? Maybe! Iss liye. Par yeh galat hai naa? Main toh Raj se pyaar karti hoon. Abhi bhi. Inse nahi. I shouldn't react like this. Ki mujhe accha lagta hai. Phir yeh flirt karna bandh kar denge. Hmm!" She thought making a decision to not giving a positive reaction to his cheesy flirty talks.

"Kuch poigi? Vodka? Rum? Beer?" He again teased making her shocked

"Nahi. Ap pagal hogaye ho? I don't drink alcohol." She said angrily making him shocked

"Okay! Relax. I'm sorry! I was just kidding." He apologised seeing her angry

"Yeh galat hai Sana. You can't behave like this to him. Sidharth ji tera pati hai. You have to accept him. This marriage. Dil se karna parega tujhe. Nibhana parega tujhe. Aur.. you have to for..forget Raj. Tujhe bhulna hoga Raj ko. He is your past. Sidharth ji tera future hai. Aur waise bhi, Raj tera kabhi tha hi nahi. Agar hota toh Sidharth ji ke badle woh hota yaha. Mujhe mafi mangi chahiye Sidharth ji se. Haan." She thought feeling guilty for talking with him rudely.

"No. I'm sorry." She apologised

"It's okay. Chill. You must be tired. I understand why you got angry. Now close your eyes and rest." He said thinking she must be tired with the exhaustion of wedding and now journey.

"Ap pite ho? Alcohol?" She asked softly

"Haan. Matlab business party mein pina padhta hai kabhi kabhi. Bohot kam pita hoon. Not more than one pack. Mostly juice hi pita hoon." He explained seeing her frown face

"Accha! Jhoote admi. Kabhi kabhi nahi. I think roz peete honge" She said thinking last few lines.

"Sach mein. Kabhi kabhi. Jhoot nahi bol raha. Roz thodi party hota hai." He said making her shocked that how did he reads her mind

"Sidharth ji ap...??" She grasped

"Kya?" He asked.

"Kuch nahi." She replied then closed her eyes to rest a little.

***

"Welcome home Shehnaaz." Anjali said as they entered inside their home after performing all the ritual of "greah pravesh".

Shehnaaz just smiled slightly with a nod.

"Sidharth, bahu ko room mein leke jaa. Abhi dono rest karo. Hum direct dinner pe milenge. Thik hai?" Anjali instructed them.

"Ji mom. Come Shehnaaz." Sidharth said forwarding a hand to her, which she holds immediately.

"Yaha 8 steps hai. We will count and go. I know tumhe thoda waqt lagega iss place ko janne aur samajhne ke liye. But main hoon naa. I'll let you know everything. Okay?" He said when they were going upstairs, hand in hand.

"I know." She replied

"We reached the top. Now we will walk 18 steps to our right. Waha mera.. I mean hamara bedroom hai." He informed then took her in their bedroom counting 18 steps.

"Ap toh professional lag rahe ho. Trainee type." She giggled hiding her pain thinking the efforts he had put for her. Where she expected it from Raj.

"It's nothing. Tum meri patni ho aur friend bhi. Itna toh karunga hi main. Baki ka hum baad mein karenge. Practice. Abhi fresh hojao tum. Main kapre nikal doon tumhare?" He asked after making her sit on bed comfortably

"Ap pagal hai?" She said in horror and covered herself properly with her dress dupatta taking his words wrongly.

"Bag se yaar. Not.. this dress." He clarified and laughed on her innocence

Shehnaaz bites her tongue inside her mouth feeling highly embarrassed. Seeing her reaction he stopped laughing.

"Accha. Let it be. Ab bag se kapde nikal doon? Yah usme bhi problem hai? Yah, toh mom ko bulau? She will help you out." He suggested, which she liked.

"Haan! Aunty ko bulaiye. Main ladki hoon. Hamari personal chize bhi hoti hai usme. Apko zara sa bhi sharam nahi hai naa." She smirked

"Hello! I'm not besharam okay. Maine acche way mein bola. I'm not interested to see your under garments. I'm sending mom. Main dusre room ke bathroom mein jaa raha hoon. Thik hai?" He said in his defence making her grasped

"Ap itna casually bol gaye under garments?" She asked feeling extremely shy

Sidharth smiled on her cuteness.

"Isme kaisi sharam? Yeh toh normal hai. Mujhe toh yeh bhi pata hai ladkiyon ko har mahine periods hote hai. Bohot painful hote hai. Mood swings bhi hote hai." His words left her in shock and her face became more red

"Okay. Relax. Main mom ko bhejta hoon. Okay." He said seeing her red face.

"Please." She begged hidding her face with her dress dupatta. Seeing it Sidharth chuckled innerly.

He took his clothes from cupboard and walked out from bedroom. On his way he asked Anjali to come for help. Once she is done getting freshen up herself.

"Kya pehnoge?" Anjali asked opening her big trolley bag.

"Saree? Par mujhe pehena nahi ata." Sana expressed sadly, and Anjali giggled.

"Saree kyu pehnogi tum? Abhi raat hai kuch comfortable pehno. Salwar suit doon? Yeh t-shirt wagera pehnogi?" Anjali asked going through her bag what clothes her mother packed for her.

"Main t-shirt pehen sakti hoon?" She asked in disbelief that she can wear t-shirt at her in-laws house.

"Haan. Kyu nahi? Tum kuch bhi pehen sakti ho. Main waisi saas nahi hoon, jo apni bahu pe atyachar karu. Yah usko roke kuch karene se. Sidharth bhi nahi karega. Hamare liye tumhara comfort zyada important hai. If you're comfortable to wear it then you can. Abhi kya doon? T-shirt yah salwar suit?" Anjali asked again holding a pair of salwar suit and t-shirt and palazzo.

"Salwar suit chalega. Mujhe sharam ayegi t-shirt pehen ke. Khas kar unke samne." She replied feeling shy

"Pagal ho tum. Yeh lo kapde. Kaal hum sab cupboard mein rakhenge saath mein. Thik hai?" Anjali said giving her the pink salwar suit which she already picked for her.

"Thik hai." She replied

"Kitna farak hai naa? Dimple aunty aur mummy ji ke beech. Ek bar main unke ghar t-shirt mein kya gayi thi raat ko. Unhone kitna kuch sunaya tha mujhe. Mere character pe question kia. Unko laga main Raj ko rijhana chahti hoon. Apna body dikha ke. Aur yaha mummy ji." She thought sadly

"Kya hua? Sad kyu hogayi? Pink colour ka hai. Tumhe gulabi rang pasand nahi hai? Toh yeh blue wali doon?" Anjali asked grabbing the blue one.

"Nahi mummy ji. Pink thik hai." She said getting emotional seeing her love and care for her.

"Roh kyu rahi ho tum?" Anjali asked and hugged her to comfort her.

"Kuch nahi. Ap bohot acchi hai. Main chalti hoon bathroom. Par kaha hai bathroom? Sidharth ji ne bola hi nahi." She said changing the topic

"Waah! Yahi nahi bola. Chalo main leke chalti hoon tumhe." Anjali closed her bag, kept it in a corner and took her in bathroom.
