“HELLO, BHABHI JI…” Adith greets Shehnaaz with a charming smile, making Sidharth jealous.
Shehnaaz looks at him and frowns. She looks around to find any Bhabhi to whom he is calling, but to her dismay, there is no one except these three. Adith giggles, seeing her looking around, confused like a goofball. He just goes all Aww on her, and seeing his admiring session, Sidharth immediately starts hating him.
Not wanting to stress her more, Adith points at her and murmurs BHABHI, giving a little heart attack to that innocent soul.
“HAYEEE… KASAM LAGE! MERA TOH YAHA KOI BHAI HI NAHI HAI TOH MAI BHABHI KAISE HO GAYI?” Shehnaaz asks innocently, not knowing the meaning of her words. Whereas Adith understood the fact that HIS BHABHI is very bad in Hindi.
On the other side, Sidharth is burning with jealousy and looks at Adith’s smile, which he is giving to Shehnaaz, making him annoyed.
“SABHI KO FLIRT KARNA HAI MERI MOTI SE… HUH! BAKI LADKIA MAR GAYI HAI KYA?” Sidharth murmured, but couldn’t stop himself from remarking on Adith. “OYE… APNI BIWI KO HELLO KARIYO GHAR JAKAR YAHA DUSRO KI BANDIYO PAR DORE MAT DAAL”
In his jealousy, he forgets that Adith called his moti “BHABHI”.
Instead of feeling bad, Adith smirks and asks innocently, “KYA MAINE AAP KI BANDI SE FLIRT KIYA?”
“NAHI PADOS KI BANDI SE… AAB GADI CHALA DIMAG NAHI.” Sidharth spoke while flaring his nose in anger. Whereas Shehnaaz is enjoying the free show. Ignoring teasing smirks of Adith, he opens the back door for Shehnaaz and locks it properly after she settles. He settled down beside Adith on the passenger seat, which is the worst decision he ever took because Adith is acting like his crazy fangirl who is giving him a sheepish grin, and why not, HE FINALLY GOT HIS SIDNAAZ DELULU.
“OH…OH… BACK DOOR KHOLA BHABHI KE LIYE. AISA TOH KABHI NAHI KARA MERE LIYE…” Adith whispers to Sidharth.
Sidharth rolls his eyes and hissed timidly, “KYU, TU MERI AURAT HAI? JO MAI TERE LIYE GATE KHOLU GA…”
On his remark and seeing his expressions, Adith laughs, and continues, “BHAI, AURAT TOH SHEHNAAZ BHI NAHI HAI AAPKI…”.
Sidharth looks at him with narrowed eyes because he has somehow triggered his possessiveness. What did he mean by SHE IS NOT HIS? Damn! SHEHNAAZ KAUR GILL IS ONLY HIS! He runs his hand in his hair to calm his raging nerves and says aloud and clearly, emphasizing each word, “YEAH MERI HI AURAT HAI!”
Adith looks at him with a gasp as he never claimed his rights on any of the girls whom he dated. But now he is claiming his rights on Shehnaaz without even confessing his feelings for her. The possession, love, desire, and possessiveness he felt today in his behavior, he never felt before. With this, he got a clear view of what she meant to him!
“TOH AAPNE YEAH SHEHNAAZ KO BATAYA KI AAP USSE KITNA PYAAR KARTE HAI?” Adith asks the most important question, making sure that Shehnaaz didn’t hear them.
“ISMAI BATANE KI KYA ZAROORAT HAI? MERE ACTIONS SE KYA USKO DHIKHTA NAHI HAI…” Sidharth spoke casually while looking at Shehnaaz from the rearview mirror, whereas Adith palmed his face.
“HAYE BHAGWAAN, INHE THODI BHUDDHI ( Brain ) DO… BHAI, AAPKO PYAAR KI TUITION LENI CHACHIYE BECAUSE YOU ARE VERY BAD IN THIS SUBJECT.” Adith said while making a sour face, and noted to find a good teacher who will teach him how to be expressive in love.
“SIDHARTH, YEAH KAUN HAI?” Shehnaaz asks, pointing at Adith, who is in the mood to tease Sidharth again, breaking their trance.
Both gentlemen sat straight and focused on her, “BHAI, BATAIYE BABY JI KO, KI MAI KOUN HU.” Adith said while looking at them from the corner of his eye. The teasing smirk is still plastered on his lips.
“HE IS ADITH SHEKHAWAT, MY YOUNGER BROTHER AND A MANAGER WHO IS A PAIN IN MY AS* SOMETIMES,” Sidharth said while digging a hole in Adith’s body with his piercing gaze.
“WHAT IS A PAIN IN MY AS* MEAN?” Shehnaaz asks chirpily, making both the boys shocked.
Sidharth is finding the correct explanation to give without corrupting her mind, while Adith is enjoying his miseries.
“AH… IT MEANS… I MEAN, WE SAY THIS WHEN SOMEONE IS VERY ANNOYING AND IRRITATING….. UMM… YES…” Sidharth stammers but somehow handles the situation, and Adith also announces giving relaxation to him.
“WE ARE HOME!”
He parked the car, and everyone got out with different emotions. Shehnaaz is nervous as well as excited to meet Sidharth’s family, whereas Sidharth feels like today he is actually at his true home with a girl who is meant to be his.
“INDEED!... WE ARE AT HOME.” Sidharth murmurs while looking at his moti, who is busy talking with Adith. Within an hour, she gelled up with Adith and had a funny conversation with him, unintentionally ignoring Sidharth.
“OH MATTE, CHALNA HAI YA MAI UTHA KE LEKE JAU?” Sidharth asks Shehnaaz with a flared nose, seeing her ignorance.
“BHAI, BHABHI MUST BE TIRED. SO, WHY DON’T YOU TAKE HER IN YOUR ARMS?” Adith suggests while keeping his head on the knife. He is aware that Sidharth would murder him after hearing his statement, but still, he chooses to tease him.
“YEAH MUJHE KABHI GODH MAI NA BITHAYE TOH GODH MAI UTHANE KI TOH DUR KI BAAT HAI…” Shehnaaz said while rolling her eyes, making Adith giggle, and Sidharth felt offended.
“JHUT NA CUM BOLA KAR, SAMJHI? KITNI BAARI TOH TU MERI GODH MAI BHAITH THI HAI… BAKWAS KAR RAHI HAI.” Sidharth said angrily and irritably.
“SIDHARTHHH……..” Shehnaaz cribs like a kid seeing his foul mood and hugs him, wrapping her hands around his waist, while, as usual, Sidharth is resisting half-heartedly. She snuggles her nose in his chest, giving him goosebumps, and he feels like all his anger and irritation drained out into thin air. He, too, wraps his arms around her waist, tightening the hug while placing his lips on her temple, not caring about the place.
Adith watched the whole scene like a movie scene and prepared himself to witness such scenes daily. Two lovers are madly and irrevocably in love with each other, but still don’t confess. He coughs to gain their attention, and Sidharth comes out of the hug with a heavy heart.
Sidharth looks around with a blush to hide it from everyone and again makes a poker face, as usual, THE TYPICAL SIDHARTH SHUKLA.
“AAB CHALEGI YA TERA TENT YAHI PAR LAGWA DO?” Sidharth asked Shehnaaz with a lip-tight smile, and hearing him, she ran inside the building like an obedient kid.
“BHABHI BHI PURI ITEM HAI,” Adith chuckled and earned a glare from his brother, who is damn possessive of his loved ones.
“WOH MERI ITEM HAI… ( Pointing at Shehnaaz ) AAP NIKALIYE APNI ITEM KE PASS.” Sidharth hissed, keeping his possessiveness and jealousy aside.
Hearing him, Adith also runs out, keeping Shehnaaz’s luggage there. Seeing his movements, Sidharth had a great laugh.
Otherside Shehnaaz reached Sidharth’s flat following his instructions and pressed the bell of his flat while waiting for someone to open the door. After a minute, Sidharth comes from her back and rolls his eyes.
“KYA ITEM HAI BE TU?.......... TUJHE BAHAR LOCK NAHI DHIKH RAHA KYA?...... BELL BAJAYE JA RAHI HAI.” Sidharth said with a bored tone, seeing Shehnaaz ringing the bell when the door was locked from the outside.
“OH!... MAINE DEKHA NAHI. MUJHE LAGA KI AUNTY JI HOGI ANDAR TOH ISILIYE BAJA RAHI THI.” Shehnaaz justifies herself with a pout, making him lose his battle with his hormones. “CHAL CHABI (keys) DE….” She asked while forwarding her right hand to take the keys, making him come out of his dirty land.
“CHABI NAHI HAI MERE PASS.” Sidharth shrugged his shoulders, making her confused.
“TERE PAAS NAHI HAI TOH KISKE PASS HAI?” Shehnaaz asks with a confused face, but soon smirks devilishly and asks with an innocent face. “KAHI…… TUNE CHABI RASHMI KO TOH NAHI DE DI?”
Sidharth flared his nose, hearing Rashmi’s name from her mouth. He pulled her ear, making her hiss, and asked. “BOL….. AAB LEGI USKA NAAM?.....”
Shehnaaz just yelled, “KUTTE… CHODH!” ( Leave me! ) But before she could do anything or say something more, both heard a woman’s voice behind their back.
“SIDHARTH!!!”
“MAA….” Sidharth recognizes his mother’s tone and immediately leaves Shehnaaz’s ear, seeing Rita Ji’s red eyes.
Shehnaaz too turns around and looks at everyone whom she doesn’t know, except his mother.
“YEAH KYA KAR RAHA THA TU?” Rita maa asked, seeing Shehnaaz’s ear, which turned red because of his pull.
“MAI NAHI YEAH KAR RAHI THI….. ( pointing at Shehnaaz ) MUJHE PARESHAN KAR RAHI THI YEAH,” Sidharth complained to save himself from his mother’s scolding like an innocent kid.
“PAR LAG TOH KUCH AUR HI RAHA THA….. SIDHARTH.” Preeti, his elder sister, chirped with a teasing look, making him annoyed, and continued, “TUJHE SHARAM NAHI AATI EK CHOTI SI BACHI KO PARESHAN KAR RAHA HAI…”
“CHOTI BACHI?.... TUJHE KAHA SE YEAH BACHI LAG RAHI HAI?” Sidharth asked, annoyingly pointing at Shehnaaz, whose attention was on his mother.
On the other side, seeing Rita maa, Shehnaaz becomes excited and bends down to take her blessing, impressing Rita maa with her manners and values. Before she could touch her feet, Rita Maa pulled her into her embrace, making her giggle, whereas he witnessed the whole scene with a broad smile, and the burden just slipped from his head.
He was nervous from the morning while thinking about whether his family would accept Shehnaaz or not, but he forgot that Shehnaaz has a different charm that works every time and on everyone.
“BETIYA PAIR NAHI CHUTI GALE MILTI HAI…” Rita maa said lovingly with her usual warm smile, taking her in her motherly embrace. The rest of the people just admired their moment with their broad smiles.
“NAMASTE AUNTY JI,” Shehnaaz greets Rita maa with a giggle after coming out of her embrace.
“NAMASTE!…… KAISI HO SHEHNAAZ?” Rita maa replied to her greeting with a huge smile and asked a question while caressing her chubby cheeks, giving her motherly vibes.
“BAHUT KHOOB-SURAT HOO, AAP BATAO?” The ever-so-bold and chirpy Shehnaaz replied, winning everyone’s heart and making them laugh out loud.
“MAI BHI SUNDAR HOO PAR TUMSE THODA KAM…..” Rita maa too played along while caressing her soft, soft, fluffy cheeks. Seeing them like that, Sidharth is the happiest person on earth.
“AREY….. NAHI-NAHI AAP TOH MUJHSE BHI BHUT ZYADA PREETY HO. AUR APKE BAAL TOH MERE FAVORITE HAI. AAP MUJHE APNE HAIR KA SECRET BATANA PLEASE…….” Shehnaaz kisses her cheek, making her smile broaden with the love she is showering on her in the first meeting itself. Although they met in the Bigg Boss house, this is practically their first interaction where both are talking freely and without cameras.
“ABEY……AEE MOTI!!! MERI MAA KO NAZAR MAT LAGA.” Sidharth exclaimed and acted by placing a black kohl behind his mother’s ear to keep the evil eye away from her.
“NAHI SIDHARTH, APNO KI NAZAR NAHI LAGTI.” Rita maa murmurs, making Shehnaaz happy, who shows her tongue to Sidharth, teasing him. Whereas he is happy knowing that his family accepted Shehnaaz wholeheartedly. But Shukla Ji is unaware of the fact that his family is going to be hers’ super soon, leaving the poor Shukla Ji at the god’s mercy.
“AAB ANDAR CHALE?” Neetu, Sidharth’s second-oldest sister, asked and unlocked the door for them to walk inside.
Sidharth nods and intertwines Shehnaaz’s fingers with his while stepping inside the house together, making his family admire them from the back.
“MAA, MUJHE AISA KYU LAG RAHA HAI KI AAPKI BAHU AAGAYI HAI…” Neetu di whispers, seeing the way Sidharth took Shehnaaz inside the home.
“BAHU NAHI TEESRI BETI AAYI HAI JO ISS NALAYAK KO SEEDHA KARNA JANTI HAI…” Preeti di says while admiring the lovely couple in front of them. For the first time, she noticed their cute height difference and their closeness, which can be felt by any blind person.
“CHUP!... NAZAR MAT LAGAO MERE BACHO KO. YEAH NAZAR BHUT GANDI HOTI HAI…” Rita maa scolds her daughters and silently prays to keep evil eyes away from them and bless them with a happy, loving life. She is seeing her son so happy and careless, after so many years. And now, she can’t let anyone snatch this happiness from him.
“YEAH KIS ANGLE SE BACHE LAGTE HAI? KUDH KE BACHE KARNE KI UMAR HAI INKI.” Neetu di again chirped, while making a bad face, seeing the slow growth of Sidharth’s love life.
Before anyone could comment more on the couple, Sidharth called his sisters and Jijus ( Brothers-in-law ) inside with his famous sarcasm, “O… JUNGLE WASIYO, TUMHE NAHI AANA ANDAR? WAHI PAR KHADE RAHENA HAI KYA?”
“AGAR TUJHE PRIVACY CHAHIYE TOH THIK HAI HUM YAHI PAR KHADE HAI…” Neetu di said with a naughty grin, annoying her brother.
Sidharth ignored her comment as usual and ordered both his Jijus, “JIJU…… SHEHNAAZ KA LUGGAGE LE AANA.”
Both the Jijus look at him with wide eyes, hearing his order. Ashish, Neetu di’s husband, murmurs while shooting daggers at Sidharth, “LOGO KE PATI DEV TOH SHAADI KE BAAD BADALTE HAI PAR HAMARA SAALA ( Brother-in-law ) TOH BINA SHAADI KE HI BADAL GAYA HAI…”
“SIDHARTH….. WOH KAISE LAYE GAI? RUK MAI LEKE AATI HOO.” Shehnaaz said and tried to take her hand back from his strong grip, whose hold got even tighter. She is feeling bad that others will do her work when she is capable of doing it.
“REHNE DO SHEHNAAZ WOH LE AAYEGAI. TUM CHALO ANDAR.” Preeti di said with a giggle, seeing her husband, who scoffed in irritation, but they had to bring Shehnaaz’s luggage inside.
“SIDHARTH, SHEHNAAZ KO GHAR TOH DHIKA DE.” Neetu di suggests seeing Shehnaaz, who is admiring the living area with her big eyes. The excitement is dripping from her face, making them chuckle at this goofball.
“HAA…… SHEHNAAZ WOH KITCHEN HAI. TU JAA AUR MERE LIYE EK CUP CHAI BANADE JAB TAK MAI FRESH HOKE AATA HOO,” Sidharth said while pointing in the kitchen’s direction and ordering her to make tea for him as his usual nature. He didn’t like the formality of showing her…….HER OWN HOUSE.
“KUTTE!....... KAM SE KAM PANI KA TOH PUCHLE MUJH SE.” Shehnaaz palmed her face after hearing him. She is not shocked by his behavior because she loves his carefree and informal nature with her. This proves that he is his real self with her.
“NAHI MUJHE NAHI PEENA PANI. AUR TU PANI PEE KE KYA KAREGI? CHAI PEE LE AUR TU MERE LIYE BHI CHAI HI BANADE” Sidharth states with attitude. Whereas his family is like, “When will he show his loverboy side?”
They are waiting to see his loverboy's side, which they have never witnessed till now.
“HUM ISKE SUDHARNE KI BAAT KAR RAHE THAI? PAR YAHA TOH MUJHE LAGTA HAI YEAH BECHARI SHEHNAAZ KO BHI BIGAD KE RAHEGA.” Preeti di said with an awful face while glaring at Sidharth.
“SHEHNAAZ……. TUM BHI FRESH HO JAO…… JAB TAK MAI CHAI BANA DETI HO.” Rita maa said with a disbelieving look, seeing her son’s behavior.
“HAA SHEHNAAZ, TUM JAO MAI BANA DETI HOO CHAI, YOU MUST BE TIRED.” Preeti di joined her mother.
“DI, MAI KAISE THAKUGI? MAI CAR MAI BAITH KAR AAYI HOO CAR UTHA KE THORI NA LAAYI HOO…” Shehnaaz chuckled. She is not tired at all. And above all, she has no problem preparing tea for HER SIDHARTH or the family.
“SHEHNAAZ, TUM JAO MAI BANATI HO CHAI.” Rita Maa tries to convince her but fails miserably in front of her down-to-earth nature.
“NAHI….. NAHI….. AUNTY JI KOI PROBLEM NAHI HAI. MAI BANA LUGI CHAI BUS AAP MUJHE BATA DIJIYE KI SAMAN KAHA HAI.” Shehnaaz denied Rita maa’s offer as she doesn’t have any problem doing such kinds of stuff, and that too for Sidharth. She loves doing such work for her family. All this gives her homely vibes.
This is the quality that Sidharth loves about Shehnaaz. She never says no to any work. No matter what the job is, she is ready to do anything.
“AUR CHAI EKDUM KADAK BANAEYO…” Sidharth instructed Shehnaaz when she walked towards the kitchen with his mother.
“OK!..... PAR EK SHART PAR” hearing his demand, Shehnaaz stops in mid and puts her condition, making him annoyed.
“BHOKO…….” Sidharth said annoyingly, giving a heart attack to his sisters because Sidharth is the person who never accepts anyone’s conditions except their mother's, but here he is doing the opposite of his nature. He gets ready to hear her condition without showing any tantrums, which is breaking news.
“PATTHAR ( Stone ) PIGHAL RAHA HAI…” Neetu di whispered in her sister’s ear with a shocked expression.
“UH...HUH!” Preeti di denied it with a bright smile and continued, “SID PIGHAl CHUKA HAI APNI NAAZ KE LIYE.” Both ladies shared a knowing look and winked at each other.
To be continued…
