"Ohoo! Shehnaaz. Kar liya naa tumne gadho wali baat. Kya bola tha maine? TOUCH & FEEL. Use this method. You are an artist. You draw beautiful paintings. I have seen few of them. And brought one here." Sidharth was interrupted by her

"Chor!" Sana mocked him

"What chor? Meri patni ka hai. Main laa sakta hoon haq se. Yeh mom bhi naa chup nahi reh sakti." He chided on Anjali as she told her few days ago in flow

"Ek toh chori upar se mummy ji pe chid rahe hai ap. Accha kia unhone sach bol dia flow flow mei baat karte waqt. Kaise apne meri painting chori kia tha. Huh! Chor Sidharth ji." She mocked him again

"Ek din aisa kuch churaunga naa phir bolna. Chor Sidharth ji." He whispered in her ear in husky voice sending chills down her body.

"Ji!?!" She grasped softly but then her cheeks become reddish automatically thinking he is talking about consummating their marriage. Means she will lose her virginity to him.

"Gandi aurat! I was talking about your heart." He clarified seeing her reddish face which became more red due to embarrassment.

"Whatever! Listen Shehnaaz, I'll describe you every detail of the gifts. Tum bas imagine kar lena usko mind mei ek picture bana ke. Samjhi? Like you did of my perfume? The bad boy one." He said eyeing her painting which he stole from her balcony.

He hunged it in bedroom's wall. It's just behind their bed. Every morning he woke up seeing it then see her sleeping face and going to sleep seeing it. Thinking how to make her feel "normal" in her definition and an important part of his life. In short, he tried to motivate himself to do his best for her.

"Fine." She finally agreed making him smile

"Great. Now you keep doing it. I'll work now. After an hour we will have our dinner. Hmm?" Informing he got busy in work and she continued practicing Braille.

"Shehnaaz, chale dinner ke liye?" He asked after finishing his work.

"Yeh aap ke liye." She gave him a piece of paper where she wrote something in Braille for him.

"Yeh kya hai?" He asked in confusion not understanding what's written there. He is not good in it yet.

"Google kar lijiye ap. Waqt bachega apka." She suggests, which he liked.

"Haan. Idea accha hai." He googled it then looked at her in confusion. "THANK YOU? Thank you kyu bol rahi ho?" asked after seeing the result

"Thank you for everything. What you did for me and still doing for me and will do in future." She said feeling grateful to him for whatever he did for her to make her feel better and normal like others. But mostly for the way he puts efforts for her.

"Are you serious? Shehnaaz we are friends. Woh kya bolte hai? Haan... Dosti mei ek usul hai madam, no sorry no thank you. Aur hum husband wife bhi hai. Whatever I'm doing it's my duty to do for you. Samjhi? Abhi chale dinner karne?" He explained calmly

"Rukiye ap. (Holds his arm to stop) Duty toh mera bhi hai apka khayal rakhne ka. Jo main thik se nahi kar pa..rahi hoon." She was interrupted by him

"Aisa kisne kaha? Tum mere saath ho wahi kafi hai mere liye. Your presence is enough for me. Chalo ab." He pulled her up when Sana was in deep shock.

"Matlab?" She asked not understanding what he actually ment.

"Kuch nahi. Chalo." He tried to avoid but she was determined to listen.

"Boliye naa please. Main apka kaise khayal rakhti hoon? By just be with you?" She asked with force this time.

"Shehnaaz please khana..." He tried to avoid but she was determined to listen.

"Apko meri kasam. Please boliye naa. Mujhe janna hai?" She asked requesting him when Sidharth was in shock.

"Shehnaaz, tumne kasam!!" He grasped

"Please!!" She requests making a puppy face.

"Fine! I used to have nightmares. After that accident. In my nightmares, I see I killed you. Bloods was all over. On you. On road. On my clothes. Your yellow dress was red in colour. It was horrible and terrifying. I used to see every night. Couldn't sleep at night. Din mei hardy 2-3 ghante sota tha. End mei mom mujhe sulati thi. Jab unko pata chala. But jab se tum aie ho. Nightmares nahi ate hai pehle jaise. Agar ate bhi hai toh uth ke tumhe dekh leta hoon. Phir soh jata hoon paani peeke. I don't stay awake all night like before. Now I sleep 6-7 hour. That's how you're taking care of me." He explained what he realised in morning doing gym.

In early morning, doing gym. He was continuously thinking about last night incident. How he woke up from his sleep seeing a nightmare. Where he saw blood everywhere. He was stuck in a room filled with blood and Shehnaaz was laying dead in that pool of blood. She was covered with blood, from her skin to dress. He remembered how he tried to calm drinking water which didn't helped. But he smiled amid all these just seeing her peaceful sleeping face. Then he tried to sleep but couldn't so thought to do smoke. He tried but couldn't thinking about her words. He was astonished how she stopped him doing it without being presence there. Her words was enough for him to stop him doing something wrong. And finally, how he fall asleep looking at her face. He realised she had taken care of him last night even doing nothing. Her mere presence is enough to keep his nightmares away from him. This is the reason why he was happy.

"What? Kya!?" She grasped

"Yes! Now let's go for dinner. Mom must be waiting for us." He pulled her out from bedroom trying to avoid the topic now.

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

"Shut up and walk Shehnaaz." He said sternly and she walked quietly along with him.

He made her sit on her chair then sits beside her. Anjali served them dinner and all had it quietly. But Sidharth noticed her stressed and gloomy face. He understood she must be upset about it. And was blaming herself again. After dinner, all went back to their bedroom. He made her sit on bed comfortably and gave her a hot water bag. She kept it on her lower tummy to get some relief. He gave her medicine and water which she consumed. Then gave her a chocolate to eat.

"Yeh?" Sana asked in confusion

"Have it. Mood accha hojayega. Khana hojaye toh brush kar lena. Hmm?" Sidharth instructed and went back to his couch to sleep.

"Ji?" She called him

"What Shehnaaz?" He asked acting normal knowing what she wanna say.

"Shehnaaz please don't blame yourself for all these. It's not your fault. Oh God! Why are you crying now? Yaar! Tum..." He quickly comes to her seeing her sobbing.

"Ap? Apko kitna takleef jhelna padhta hai mere wajah se." She blamed herself eventually

"Yaar! Tum..." He side hugged her which she reciprocated hiding her face in his chest.

"Roh mat tum. Isme rone wali kya baat hai? Kuch nahi. Yeh toh bohot normal si baat hai. I haven't seen such stuff before in real life. Sirf movie mei dekha hai. Woh sab accident, blood wagera. So, it left a bad impact on my brain. Tabhi nightmares ate hai. Aur main blood dekh ke panic hojata hoon. It's not your fault darling. Don't blame yourself for all these." He tried to console, rubbing her arms gently.

"Apke liye normal hoga. Mere liye nahi. Mere wajah se apko itna takleef hota hai. Mujhe laga shayed sirf meri life pe affect padha hai iss accident ke wajah se. Par main galat thi. Ap bhi dard mei hai. Mere wajah se. Jane anjane mei." She cried bitterly blaming herself again

"Shehnaaz, tum rona band karogi please? Bimar padh jaogi tum. Phir hamara kaal ka plan kharab hojayega. Maine socha hai, kaal hum ghumne jayenge. Kahi ghumne nahi gaye hum. Hmm! Abhi please rona band karo aur soh jao chup chap. Mujhe bhi sona hai. I'm feeling sleepy baba. Office kar ke aya hoon naa." He again requests her to stop crying

"Nahi." She mumbled softly making him confused

"Kya NAHI? Rona bandh nahi karogi? Sona nahi hai? Yah ghumne nahi jana?" He asked to clear his confusion.

"Ap couch pe nahi soyenge. Ap bed pe soyenge." She replied softly making him shocked

"What!?!" He grasped

"Haan." She replied and broke the hug.

For it Sidharth felt a sudden emptiness but he ignored his feeling. As for present he have to handle her.

"Shehnaaz, you don't have to do it. Just because of my nightmare. I'm fine now. And I know you're not comfortable with me. I mean, to share a bed with me now. I'm very comfortable on couch. So, please. Don't force yourself for it. Because of your guilt. Understand? It's not your fault. You sleep here. I'm going." He explained calmly and got up to go back to his couch.

"Nahi." She holds his hand firmly.

"Don't be stubborn Shehnaaz I'm going." He freed his hand and went back to his couch. He denied knowing she is doing it out of her guilt. Not with her will.

"Ap!?" She tried to speak but was shut by him again.

"I'm going to sleep now. Brush your teeth then sleep." Said sternly and closed his eyes to sleep

After 10mins..

"Sidharth ji! Bed bohot bada hai. We can share? Ap chahe toh pillow ka border bana sakte hai hum." She again tried to convince him

He opened his eyes and saw she was still sitting in same position.

"I'll come to you. Par uss din jab tum dil se chahogi main tumhare paas aun. Without any barrier between us. As your husband. Tab tak main nahi aunga tumhare pass. Abhi soh jao tum." He replied then again slept cuddling his pillow

"Phir toh apko kafi wait karna padega Sidharth ji." Thinking she also went to sleep after brushing her teeth.

***

"Mujhe nahi karna yeh. Ap khud dekh lena baad mein kabhi." Sana denied to see their wedding gifts together like a couple. Moreover, she wasn't interested at all.

"Kyu? Kyu nahi dekhogi? Zyada nahi hai darling. Hardly! 15-20 hai. Sirf mere relatives, tumhare friends and neighbours ke hai." Sidharth said getting the gift bags. It was just a way of him to spend time with her. Otherwise, he have no interest in it. And for her to use the touch and feel method which she don't use at all.

"Sidharth ji!!!" She chided on him.

"Please! Hum abhi touch and feel wala method use karenge." He kept the bags on bed and sit beside her

"Yeh karna zaruri hai?" She again chided

"Haan hai." He replied then got busy unpacking a gift.

"Oh! Wow! Golden temple ka showpiece. Yeh tumhare neighbour ne dia hai. Dolly aunty ne. How thoughtful. Now feel it" He handed her the showpiece to feel it.

"Hmm! Golden temple hai. Glass frame ke andar. Apne mujhe yeh glass feel karne dia hai?" She chided on him feeling a glass frame.

"Ab main kya karu? Yeh glass ka frame tod doon tumhare liye? Taki tum golden temple feel kar sako?" He said laughing.

"Pagal! Abhi dusra kholiye. Apke family ke side se." She smirked

"Ji." He opened the gift bag given by Meenu maasi & family.

"Wah! Dekho yeh khas tumhare liye hai. Kanjivaram saree. It's in greyish silver and bright pink. Matlab border bright pink ka hai. But ek gold ka touch hai isme." He handed her the saree.

"Hmm? Silk ke hai." She said feeling the saree

"Abey! Ek aur saree! Haad hai. Mera clothing business hai iska matlab mere family wale yahi denge kya? Waise yeh Jaya bua ne dia hai. Paithani saree. Matlab Marathi log pehente hai woh. It's in green with red border. Ispe gold ka work hai. It's beautiful. Tumpe bohot accha lagega." He informed handling her the saree

"Hmm! Apne bola hai accha hi hoga." She mumbled softly running her fingers on the saree.

"Accha yeh lo. Isko feel karo. It's from.... Kanika aunty. Your neighbour." He handed her another gift

She holds the gift and understood it's a book. She runs her finger tip for few seconds and a bright smile came on her face automatically reading "ਗੁਰੂ ਗ੍ਰੰਥ ਸਾਹਿਬ". But then she freaked out.

"Yeh toh Guru Granth Sahib hai Sidharth ji. Apko iski description dene ki zarurat nahi hai. Yeh naam hi kafi hai. Par ap apne paas rakhiye. Mera period chal raha hai. Hayee! Baba ji tussi maf kar do mainu. Meinu nahi pata si yeh hai. Tussi maf kardo iss galti ke liye." She immediately seek forgiveness and gave him back the book

"Oh! Mujhe Punjabi padhna nahi ata naa. Iss liye. Sorry." He apologised for it

"It's okay. Apki galti nahi hai. Ap iss book ko cupboard mei rakh dijiye abhi." She suggests, which he liked. He quickly got up and kept it in her side of cupboard and come back to her.

"Chalo next one. Yeh Happy ke taraf se." He pass her a gift box. Which she unbox quickly.

"Waah! Meri star sunglass. Yeh naa hum party karne ke liye kharide the kuch saal pehle. Maine black aur usne blue. Woh Raj ne bohot force kia tha club mei party karenge hum sab. Jab main gaya toh.... wahi gir gaya tha. I lost it. But shayed usko mil gaya hoga. Abhi wapas de raha hai. Kamina! Itna cheap wedding gift dia usne. Kanjoos." She giggled hiding her pain. As it's the same party where she saw Raj kissing Kiara then she realised her love for him.

"Gift cheap hai yah expensive that doesn't matter. Matter karta hai iske piche ka emotion. You guys brought this together to do party. It was a memorable moment I guess. Atleast for him with you. Shayed iss liye dia ho. Hmm?" He said, she nods positively.

"Gold earnings from Ankita maasi. Aur pearl necklace from Deepak mama. I'm wondering Komal mami ne yeh kaise kia. Pearl ki necklace!? Itni kanjoos hai naa woh." He chuckled giving her the jewellery boxes

"Wow! Pretty. Aur mami ji ko kuch mat boliye. Bohot acchi hai woh. Mujhe roz call karti hai meri haal chal puchne ke liye." She said in defence

"Haan!? Roz! Shayed tumse kuch gossip mil jaye baat karne ke liye. Iss liye call karti hai." He laughed seeing her shocked face.

"Aisa kuch nahi hai." She said firmly

"I know her better than you. So don't argue with me. Atleast, on my family members." He said in between his laugh and she made a sad pout.
