“TU NAHI SAMJHEGI…” Sidharth whispers, testing her patience level. While she simply asks, “KYU?”
He replied with a secret smile, “KYU KI TU GADHI HAI…” and he ended up laughing hard, making her angrier. But the next second, Shehnaaz pounces on him and pulls his hair with full authority, angrily, “TERI TOH!....”
He screams while his family laughs at him. “AAB AAYA NA KOI TERI TAKAR KA… PATA NAHI HUMPE KITNA ROB JHARTA THA.” Neetu di complains while laughing hard, seeing her brother screaming, and on the other side, her elder sister hoots for Shehnaaz.
Sidharth anyhow locked her hands with his one hand, and made her sit beside himself. “YEAH GAALI-WAALI MAT DIYA KAR, YAHA BACHE HAI.” He groaned, making her eyes narrow with accusation while she exclaimed, looking at his mother, “HAYE… KITNA PAAPI HAI YEAH.” and countered him, “MAINE KAB DI GAALI?”
“ABHI FUCK KISNE BOLA?” He asks with a smirk, making her realize that she did use that word a moment ago, but who will accept that, she won’t, and debates with a giggle. “TUNE!”
Others laugh, seeing Sidharth’s shocked face, while he is speechless again in front of his witty baby.
“TU KHUD ITNI GAALI DETA HAI TAB NAHI DHIKTA TUJHE KUCH, HAA?” Rita maa backed Shehnaaz, and hi-fied with her while she blew a kiss towards her.
“FADHDO MERE NAAM PAR BILL,” Sidharth grumbled and pushed Shehnaaz away, making her laugh and go aww on him. She cocooned him and pulled his cheeks, “HAYYE… MERA NONU BACHA…” This calms his irritation, and he smiles, genuinely. He loves it whenever she treats him like a baby. He is the youngest child of the Shuklas and always got love and pampering from everyone. That’s why he wants the same pampering and love from his better half, which he never got till Shehnaaz walks into his life. She brings out the child in him alive with her witty nature.
She brings out the best in him, and he meant it.
She rubs his arms and asks frustratingly, “BATA… NAA… KYU KARA TUNE AISA?” She is an impatient girl; she won’t keep quiet until she knows why he suspended her team. She pulls his hair again when he doesn't utter a word, but how can our Sid stay back? He too pulls her hair with double force and threatens her, “MOTI!... MERE BAAL CHODH DE NAHI TOH…”
“NAHI TOH!...... NAHI TOH KYA?... SHUKLI” She asks angrily while gritting her teeth, giving a wonderful show to the Shukla Family to watch without expenses.
“TUJHE PANI MAI FHEK DUGA MAI,” He countered with a smirk, knowing her fear of water, and as he expected, she left him in a second, making him laugh more at his victory.
She whines, faking her cry to soften her Kullu’s heart, and cribs cutely, “AMMA!... SIDHARTH, NAHI PLEASE MUJHE PANI MAI MAT FHEK BAKI KUCH BHI KARLE.”
Sidharth widens his eyes upon hearing her words, “KUCH BHI KARLE”. Mature thoughts automatically come to mind, giving him goosebumps.
What does she mean by “KUCH BHI KARLE”?
“SIDHARTH!... SIDHARTH, KYA HUA TUJHE?” She shakes him to gain his attention with a pout, whereas he glances at her and nods in nothing while she continues, “PLEASE, BATA DE TUNE MERI TEAM KO KYU AISA BOLA?”
He melts seeing her pleading, and takes a deep breath before starting. He doesn't know how she will take it, as he made the decision hastily without even asking her, but his intentions were good. He wished only good for her. “YOU ARE NOT GOING TO WORK WITH YOUR OLD TEAM, AS I CAN’T TRUST THEM. YOU NEED A NEW TEAM WHO WILL BE TRUSTWORTHY.” He said in a calm tone, trying to make her understand his point of view. “YOU NEED A PERFECT PERSON WHO WILL GUIDE YOU AND KEEP YOU AWAY FROM ANY KIND OF CONTROVERSIES WHICH YOUR OLD TEAM LACKED.”
Now, Shehnaaz understood why he took this step, to protect her from controversies. He wants her to reach new heights in her career, but with the right team. His family also understood his protectiveness for her, making them the happiest souls alive on earth.
“AAB MAI NAYI TEAM KAISE DHUNDUGI? MAIN TOH YAHA KISI KO NAHI JANTI, SIVAYE TERE.” She put her worries in front of him with a cute, sad pout and slumped on the couch tiredly.
“AUR KISI KO JAANE KI ZAROORAT BHI NAHI HAI. MAINE ALREADY EK TEAM CHOSE KARLI HAI. KAL MEETING HAI UNSE……. USKE BAAD JO TUJHE THIK LAGE,” Sidharth said possessively, but her next words brought a smile to his lips.
“AGAR TUNE CHUNI HAI TOH ACHI HI HOGI….” She exclaimed and hugged him while placing a kiss on his heart in front of everyone who admired their understanding level and protectiveness for each other.
And, this hug and all was not a new thing for them. They watched them hugging, kissing (not on the lips, obviously), and sleeping in each other's arms in the show itself.
The family coughs with a teasing smirk, seeing the hug and kiss, making him blush, but Shehnaaz looks at them with a frown. “KYA HUA AAP SAB KO?” She asks confusedly, whereas everyone shakes their head, looking at Sidharth.
“CHAL AAB HAAT…… CHAI PEENE DE. ZYADA CHIPAK MAT.” He separates himself from HIS MOTI while hiding his blushing red cheeks from everyone. She rolls her eyes at his split personality, one second he showers love at her, and the other second he pushes her away as if her one touch would burn him down. He is too complicated for her to understand.
“CAMERA CONSCIOUSNESS SHUKLA…HUH!” She murmurs, accusingly.
Soon their tea time is finished, and everyone is dispersed here and there to complete their pending work while SIDNAAZ is in Sidharth’s luxurious bedroom, which is going to be their bedroom from now on.
He is sitting on his couch while reading some fan letters which he got after winning the show, and Shehnaaz is sitting very close to him, giving him a hard time controlling his hormones. She snatched the letter and said in a lovable tone, “HAYEE……. ITNA PYAAR KARTA HAI MUJHSE….. KI MERE LIYE PURI KI PURI TEAM DHUNDLI DO DINO MAI…” She kissed his cheeks while settling down on his lap, making him happy with their closeness. He felt like HE WAS BACK HOME AFTER SPENDING TWO LONELY DAYS IN A DESERT.
He, too, wraps his hands around her waist to prevent any mishap. He is enjoying her attention, but didn’t say a word regarding that. Spending some time and kissing his whole face two or three times, she stood up to unpack her bags, making him sigh.
“SIDHARTH, AAJA MERI HELP KARDE BAG UNPACK KARNE MAI…..” She asked for help from him; unknown to them, both were behaving like a typical husband and wife.
“CHAL BE CHAL…… PAKA MAT. MAI NAHI KARNE WALA KUCH BHI. MAINE TERA SAMAN PACK KARA WOHI BAHUT HAI…… AB APNA KAAM KHUD KAR.” He mocks her with a bad face as he is in a mood to rest and watch HIS MOTI working.
“KITNA KAMINA HAI TU…..HUH!” She murmurs while twisting her lips, giving him a hopeless look.
“KAMINA?... HAA, HU MAI KAMINA. AAB KAAM KAR, MERA SIR MAT KHA, MOTI.” He replied arrogantly and lay down on his soft-soft mattress. He grins, imagining themselves on his bed and her in his arms, which he missed the most after the bigg boss.
“AGAR ASIM HOTA TOH WOH MERI HELP ZAROOR KARTA…” She tries to tease him by showing fake disappointment. But this single statement is enough to awaken the beast in him.
“HAA…. JAA APNE SENSIBLE ASIMMM KE PASS JA. DIMAG KHA RAHI HAI KHA-MA-KHA…” Sidharth roared, with the possessiveness dripping from his words, making her happy. He lay down on his bed and closed his eyes to avoid her. He will sleep rather than look at her working because she pissed him off. But how can she stay away from her Kullu? “BAAT KARTI HAI, KAMINI…”
“AWW… KITNA CUTE HAI TU” She goes aww on his possessive self, making him annoyed. She climbs the bed and lies down beside him, keeping her head on his heart, and he pushes her hand that tries to wrap around his waist.
“HAATH MAT LAGA MUJHE, SAMJHI?” He rants while pushing her, “SAB MERE GUSSE SE DARTE HAI PAR IS GADHI KO TOH MAI CUTE LAG RAHA HOO…” He murmured with a bad face, and Shehnaaz laughed at hearing him.
“MAI NAHI DARTI TUJHSE… PUCH KYU?” She raised her head from his chest to look at him, but he shooed her away, irritatingly, making her giggle. “PUCH NA…” She repeats.
“KYU?” He asks mockingly and unknowingly wraps his hand around her shoulder.
“KYUKI MUJHE PATA HAI KI TU MUJHE KABHI HURT NAHI KAREGA…” She answered with a giggle and kissed his chest over his shirt, making him happier, who pecked her forehead in return. His anger vanishes in a second, seeing the broad smile on her face.
He sinks into their memories where he said the same words to her in the BIGG BOSS house, “MAI KARUNGA TUJHE KABHI HURT?... NAHI NA…”
“ITNA VISHWAAS HAI TUJHE MUJH PAR?” He asked, not believing his destiny. He can never imagine his life with any girl after falling out of numerous relationships.
“AUR NAHI TOH KYA!... AGAR TUJH PAR VISHWAS NAHI KARUGI TOH KIS PAR KARUGI, USS PARAS PAR?” She took Paras’s name, and it was enough to awaken the beast again.
“K@MINI, USKA NAAM BHI MAT LE MERE SAMNE OR AGAR ITNI HI YAAD AARAHI HAI NA TOH JA… USKI KE PASS.” He said furiously and slightly pushed her back, making her whine like a kid. He separates himself from her and turns around in rage.
“HAYEE… SIDHARTH TU KITNA WOH HAI!...” She pouts cutely, not getting the proper word to name him. She hugs him from the back while encircling her hand around his waist, keeping her face above his. “MAT KIYA KAR NA AISE…”
“ABEY, MAINE KYA KIYA?” He blasted, still not turning back to face her.
“TU GUSSA HO JATA HAI MUJHSE HAMESHA, TOH MAT HUA KAR GUSSA,” She complained cutely, flattering his heart unknowingly. “MUJHE BILKUL ACHA NAHI LAGTA.”
“TOH TU MAT LIYA KAR UN SENSIBLE LOGO KE NAAM.” He retorted, but didn’t hide his possessiveness from her.
“THIK HAI NAHI LUGI. SORRY!...” She apologizes with her pure heart while Sidharth goes all “‘Aww” on her. He lifted her hand and planted a kiss on her palm while putting it back on his waist.
“TU GUSSA TOH NAHI HAI NA AAB?” After a moment, Shehnaaz asks again, making him palm his face, seeing her nature.
Sidharth says irritably while closing his eyes to engulf the sleep, “NAHI HU, MOTI. CHAL AAB SONE DE…”
But how can His Moti let him sleep in peace? She pouts cutely and tightens her arms around his waist, and blabbed, “NAHI, TU GUSSA HAI MERE SE… MUJHE PATA HAI.”
Hearing her, he turns to face her while making a bad face, “AAB MUJHSE ZYADA TUJHE PATA HAI KI MAI GUSSA HU YA NAHI… GADHI HAI TU PURI KI PURI.”
“SIDHARTH!... AGAR TU GUSSA NAHI HAI TOH KISS KAR GANDI WALI.” She cries while shifting towards him, decreasing the gap between them, giving him goosebumps.
Suddenly, something happened to Shukla Ji. His body stiffens when her breath falls directly on his chest, raising the room temperature. His eyes turned dark brown, finding her so close to him on his bed. He cupped and stroked her cheeks with his thumb pad and murmured with a chuckle, “KITNI GANDI?”
“BAHUT GANDI WALI…” She replies with a giggle and leans her forehead for a kiss, not knowing the dirty thoughts of Shukla Ji. But when she didn’t get a kiss for a minute, she stated, “JALDI KAR NAHI TOH MAI HURT HO JAYUGI…” She closed her eyes, waiting for his lips to make contact with her forehead.
“MAI TUJHE KABHI HURT NAHI KARUGA.” He murmurs while pulling her closer, placing his lips on her for a slow and tempting kiss. For a second, Shehnaaz widens her eyes, not expecting him to kiss her lips. When the realization is drawn upon her, she closes her eyes to feel the moment. Both are sucking each other's lips with love. There was not a single second of lust between them and no rush. She tangles her hands in his hair, pulling it, unknowingly.
After a minute or two, they parted with broad smiles on their lips. He leans back on the pillow and laughs, seeing her red cheeks, whereas she hides in his chest, feeling shy because of the kiss.
“ITNI GANDI KISS SAHI HAI? AAB HURT TOH NAHI HOGI?” He questions, teasingly, because she rarely shies away from him.
“SIDHARTHHH…. MUJHE SHARAM AARAHI HAI TERESE.” She sang, hiding in his arms, not even daring to look at his face. Her cheeks feel warmer than her lips, which were touched by her Kullu.
He squealed, pulling her up to face him, “AREY, MUJHSE KYA SHARMANA… MAI TOH TERA APNA HU NA.”
She pouts and looks at his face, making him chuckle. “PAR PHIR BHI MUJHE SHARAM AARAHI HAI TERE SE TOH MAI KYA KARU, MARJAU?”
He giggles and pushes her away slightly, coming back to his raw self. “CHAL AAB JA AUR MUJHE THODA SONE DE… MAI BAHUT THAK GAYA HU TUJHE YAHA JO LEKAR AAYA ITNI SUBAH.”
The romantic environment turns into a mocking one in a second, “TU KOUNSA MUJHE APNE HAATHO MAI UTHA KAR LAYA HAI. MAI KHUD APNE IN PAIRO KE SAHARE CHAL KAR AAYI HO.” She retorted, pointing at her legs.
“ABE CHAL NA… JA, JAKAR KAAM KAR APNA.” He pushed her out of the bed, making her wince annoyingly. Still, she gets up to arrange her clothes in his cupboard while noting to take her revenge when he wakes up from a nap.
He chuckles, seeing her angry eyes and accusing face, but knows she will forget this soon and will come back to him for attention. He closed his eyes to take a nap while she opened his cupboard and pouted sadly, seeing no space for her clothes. Although she has no extra clothes, she still needs some space to keep her personal things.
“Yāra sidhāratha, maiṁ āpaṇē kapaṛē kithē rakhāṅgā? Ithē kō'ī thāṁ nahīṁ hai.” Shehnnaz said in her Punjabi, grabbing his attention.
At the same time, his sisters and mother entered THEIR ROOM after a knock and heard her. “HUH?” The trio asked at the same time.
“ABEY GADHI, SEEDHA-SEEDHA HINDI MAI BOL MUJHE TERI PUNJABI SAMAJH NAHI AATI,” Sidharth said irritably as he tried a lot to understand the language she spoke, but his attempts failed miserably.
“SIRF MERI PUNJABI YA SAB KI PUNJABI SAMAJH NAHI AATI TUJHE?” She responded with narrowed eyes, making the Shukla sisters giggle at her funny comebacks.
SHEHNAAZ, ISE CHORH YEAH TOH PAGAL HAI. TU MUJHE BATA KYA PROBLEM HO GAI HAI?” Rita Maa comes ahead to solve Shehnaaz’s problem as she is bonding with her, unknown to anyone. She loved her innocence and chirpy nature during the Bigg Boss, but now her manners and caring nature are winning her heart again.
At the same time, Sidharth looks at his mother with wide eyes when she calls him “PAGAL”. He heard that when a daughter-in-law comes home, the husband starts changing, but here his mother is changing and always taking Sana’s side. She is calling her only son “stupid” and giving love to that GADHI.
“MAAJI, ISKI ( pointing at Sidharth ) CUPBOARD MAI TOH JAGAH HI NAHI HAI MERA SAMAN RAKHNE KE LIYE. TOH, MAI APNA SAMAN KIDHER RAKHU?” Shehnaaz cribbed like an innocent kid, making everyone smile.
“BUS ITNI SI CHEEZ KE LIYE RO RAHI THI TU, GADHI. RIGHT WALI CUPBOARD KHOL…” Hiding his smile, Sidharth remarked irritably, making her scoff at his rude nature.
Following his order, Shehnaaz opens the right-side cupboard only to hear a few gasps from her back while her eyes shine brightly seeing the empty cupboard.
Rita Maa and Shukla sisters are rubbing their eyes, seeing Sidharth’s smartness. He already emptied one of his cupboards for Shehnaaz, which means he is confident that she won’t deny staying here. But they don’t know the extent of Possessive Sidharth Shukla, who could do anything to bring HIS MOTI to his home.
Shehnaaz is on cloud nine knowing that Sidharth took so much effort for her. She exclaimed with giggles, “I LOVE YOU, BEBU. TU KITNA ACHA HAI…”
Hearing her, Sidharth tries hard to hide that red tint from his cheeks, but damn… his cheeks are turning redder by the passing second, which earns teasing smirks from his sisters.
He is not good with words when it comes to this feeling, and she always expresses her feelings boldly, while he shies away from saying that aloud. He can’t say those words to her as he is scared, but he will make sure that she knows his feelings through his actions.
He won’t say, but show his love for her in his actions.
“OH…OH…OH… TOH MR. SHUKLA PURI TAIYARI KARKE BAITHE THAI APNI SHEHNAAZ KE LIYE, KYA BAAT! KYA BAAT! KYA BAAT!” Neetu Di teased who is always on her toes to tease her little brother.
“HAI NA?... MUJHE BHI YAKIN NAHI HO RAHA KI…….. IS CHANT SHUKLA NE MERE LIYE ITNI MEHNAT KI.” Shehnaaz cheered. If there were some other girl than her, she would have blushed after hearing Neetu di’s teasing, but she is Shehnaaz, who lightens up a little late, much to Sidharth’s relief.
“AGAR YEAH TOPIC KHATAM HO GAYA HO TOH… THODA KAAM BHI KARLO.” Sidharth sneered and lay down on his royal-size bed with a clear intention that he wouldn’t help anyone in setting Shehnaaz’s cupboard.
“TU KITNA PAPPI HAI, SIDHARTH? MERI HELP BHI NAHI KARWAYEGA…” Shehnaaz cribbed with a bad face, seeing him lying peacefully. Although she expected nothing else from him.
“CHAL BE PAKA MAT… MAI THAK GAYA HO. MUJHE SONA HAI…” He dismissed any kind of emotional drama and decreased the AC’s temperature to get his beauty sleep. The ladies give him nasty looks.
“KOI NA SHEHNAAZ, ISE CHODH MAI TERI HELP KARTI HOO.” Rita maa comes forward to help her with both Neetu and Preeti di, who are also ready to help this little chirpy bird.
Neetu di picks up her suitcase and opens it while placing it on the bed in front of Sidharth. Seeing the messed-up condition of her clothes in the bag, Shehnaaz grits her teeth in anger. Not a single cloth is placed neatly, while her accessories are floating here and there.
“AISE KAUN PACK KARTA HAI SUITCASE, SIDHARTH?” Shehnaaz roared, giving another heart attack to the ladies.
“YEAH PACKING SIDHARTH NE KI HAI?” Preeti di asks with horror and waits for Shehnaaz’s answer. Other ladies were waiting anxiously for her answer, too.
Without knowing anything, Shehnaaz nods, hitching their breath while Sidharth tries his level best to hide his face from his ladies and murmurs, “AAJ YEAH MOTI MERA JULOOS NIKAL KAR HI RAHEGI”.
“SIDHARTH KABSE PACKING KARNE LAG GAYA?” Rita Maa asked, not believing what she heard from Shehnaaz. Her lazy-lad son packed Shehnaaz’s bag while he never packs his own bags.
“BIWI KA KHOOF HAI, MAA…….. BIWI KA KHOUF ACCHE-ACCHE KO SUDHAR DETA HAI, TOH YEAH KIS MITTI KI MURAT HAI.” Neetu di whispers, which were heard by Rita maa and Preeti di both.
But Preeti di corrects her statement, “HONE WALI BIWI KA KHOUF.” While Rita maa gushed over the changes her son is showing them, “MERA BETA SUDHARA HUA KITNA ACHA LAGTA HAI.”
Murmuring harmless curses at Sidharth, Shehnaaz picks up her dresses from her bag and gasps while the Shukla ladies laugh.
To be continued…
