"Can I come? I mean pa is also important na?", Asked Shehnaaz with hopes that Sidharth will say a yes but Sidharth did not uttered any word. He stayed silent when she asked him. She thought he didn't heard her sentence whereas Sidharth thought to ignore her question .
Sidharth walked towards Shehbaaz and sat in front of him

"Sorry for my behavior bhai. Are you fine now?", Asked Sidharth ignoring Shehnaaz question. Shehbaaz nodded and stand up. He want them to spend much time together not seperately because in this way they will not be able to live their Life happily if they choosed to divorce

"I am fine but what about you? Are you alright?",asked Shehbaaz and noticed that Sidharth eyed Shehnaaz before answering him which indirectly meant a no but his answer came totally opposite that too with a smile

"Yes I am fine", replied Sidharth with a smile. Shehnaaz understood that his smile is fake because he don't smile unnecessarily. And his real smile is very wide and beautiful not like this which is very low like someone forced him to smile

"Aacha I am going. Stay happy", said Shehbaaz and holded Sidharth hand. Sidharth looked towards him in confusion but he understood what's coming next when Shehbaaz dragged him towards Shehnaaz

"Sidharth... I am giving this hand to you once again to keep her safe. If you want I can go instead of you", asked Shehbaaz after placing Shehnaaz hand on Sidharth hand. He noticed that they didn't moved their hands a bit so he helped them to interwine their fingers together. Shehnaaz looked down in guilt again. If not her jealousy and revenge he would be her husband. He used to love her unconditionally but everything is changed now because of her one mistake

"No Shehbaaz thank you so much. But I will go there alone. I want to spend sometime alone. Personal assistant is not that much important. Moreover what she will do there? I am going there for work . I have to work there for 16 hours which she can't so it's better for her to stay here", replied Sidharth eyeing Shehnaaz. He indirectly gave answer of her question too as he thought he did wrong by ignoring her . She asked normal question which is her right as his wife

"Sidharth I can . I am ready to work with you. I want to stay with you please", Pleaded Shehnaaz and came in front of him. Sidharth looked aside as her fragrance is intoxicating him again. Shehbaaz left from there without saying anything and closed the door to give them space.

Sidharth don't want her to come with him as with him many male clients are going. He don't think that any girl is going with them so taking her there will mean that he is risking her safety which he will never. For him her safety comes first. Even in morning he noticed Shehnaaz coming that is the reason he lied about trip to make her belive that he don't want to stay with her

"I lied about trip. It is a buisness deal", Sidharth replied and took two steps back. Shehnaaz noticed that his eyes were closed when she came near him . To confirm that does her closeness affect him and stepped forward. Sidharth felt her closeness increasing so he turned to go but Shehnaaz holded his hand before he could go

"Sidharth I really want to give us a chance. I don't want divorce", whispered Shehnaaz in low voice. Tears made way in her eyes again. Sidharth closed his eyes to control his emotions, her tears are again hurting him, he is again regretting his actions but Didn't he tried his best to impress her before? Didn't he pampered her in a way like anyone will fall for him
. Sidharth want to take his hand back but he can't jerk her so he stayed there without turning.

"Sidharth I really love... ", Shehnaaz tried telling but he interrupted her and turned towards Shehnaaz

"Don't Shehnaaz. I don't believe this. This is just your regret. If you want I am okay with one condition that I will not divorce you till you don't cheat me.  But I don't believe in love. So stop talking about love. That Sidharth died a long back. I was that much in love with you that I could have gave you those papers myself. There was no need to cheat me. That deal didn't hurt me much but your words and especially that line *did I confessed ever* that line broke my heart Shehnaaz. Why you gave me hopes then?

Now you are confessing but how can I believe you? You insulted my feelings before but I know one thing I can't force someone to love me back when someone don't.

So if you want anything else here is blank cheque with my sign write amount and you can live your life happily with your brother I promise I will never ask you to love me back", Sidharth said and signed on check book and placed it on table. He took his hand back slowly from her hand and left from there. He came inside washroom and remembered their past moments

*Flashback

"Sidharth are you tired ?", Asked Shehnaaz from Sidharth who just came from office at 11 pm. He already sent her back home but himself stayed in office for some work. He throwed his waist coat on sofa and pinned her to nearby wall

"No I have much energy left ", he replied in husky voice. Shehnaaz looked down and pushed him aside lightly. Sidharth smiled and pushed her on bed and came on top of her

"Sid..", Shehnaaz stopped in middle when Sidharth rubbed his cheek on her cheeks. His stubble tickled her so Shehnaaz giggled and holded his shoulders. He kissed her forehead and got up from her

"Stop blushing otherwise I may loose control don't blame me then", Sidharth said and left towards washroom

*Flashback end

"I can't believe all that was.... Just a part of her Revenge", whispered Sidharth and banged his hand on wall. He closed his eyes tightly to stop thinking about her but her face came in front of him again

*Flashback start

"What are you doing Shehnaaz?", Asked Sidharth holding his head as his head was bursting. He was having headache which he told to her and she started dancing in front of him

"Entertaining you", replied Shehnaaz with a pout and sat on ground as she was tired now. Just then she stand up and holded his hand and forced him to dance with her without any song. He was not getting how to dance so they were not able to match steps. Shehnaaz cried dramatically and stomped her foot on ground angrily

"Ahann aacha Sidharth... Why can't we understand language of monkeys when we were monkey's before?", Asked Shehnaaz and tapped her finger on her cheeks to show that she is thinking something very serious. Sidharth rolled his eyes at her and giggled

"Gadhi now we are humans not animal's. How can we understand them? Don't ask silly questions", said Sidharth and started laughing. Shehnaaz throwed pillow on his face in irritation

"Here I was trying to light your mood because your mood was off and you... Now I will not", shouted Shehnaaz angrily and left from there after throwing 2 more pillows on his face

*Flashback end

"How can I believe you again? You called all those beautiful moments.... Fake then how can I believe you now? How.... To believe you when you are totally opposite now like you were never like that? I really wish that... That day never existed then we... Would be living life together.

After doing that much I still love you but when you don't love me then how can I force you?

It is just your regret Shehnaaz nothing else you don't love me... You don't", whispered Sidharth with tears. How can he believe her now when his heart is still broken. She didn't told her point of view to hin till now that how she realised her mistakes. Rather than confession he need her love and care which will force him to forget past. He want to discover her love towards him himself not because of her words

He washed his face and looked towards mirror where he noticed that Shehnaaz is helping him to wear his watch. Sidharth washed his face again and came out after cleaning his face with towel

"Sidharth I don't want your cheque. Give it to someone else. You can check CCTV footage too I didn't..", Shehnaaz tried explaining him that she didn't misplaced anything but Sidharth interrupted her

"Ok I understood now complete your work",he said while going towards his seat but Shehnaaz came in front of him. She holded his shoulder from one hand and from another hand she wiped his tears

"Why can't you accept that you love me?", Asked Shehnaaz in husky voice but she stepped back when she heard knock sound of door. Both sat on their respective seats and Sidharth ordered "come in"

"Good afternoon Mr. Shukla . If you are free tomorrow evening I would like to invite you in my daughter's birthday party with your famiy", said someone who enrtered room with a card. Shehnaaz looked towards Sidharth and that man who looked same as his age

"Sure Mr. Singhania. I will come with my family", replied Sidharth with a smile. Shehnaaz started working again as she thought he will not take her there but Sidharth introduced her to Mr. Singhania when he asked about Sidharth marriage

"Meet my wife Shehnaaz", Sidharth said and gestured Shehnaaz to come there. Shehnaaz smiled and walked towards them. She is disappointed that he didn't attached his name with her but she is happy that atleast he is accepting her as his wife in front of others. Now she just need to win his heart again

Thanks for previous votes and comments ♥️✨

Regarding Sidharth so he don't trust her anymore. He thinks that Shehnaaz don't love him. Try to think from his pov that can you forgive a person who insulted your. Feelings by saying "did I confessed ever?". He is broken from inside so slowly slowly Shehnaaz will heal him and get his trust back (✿^‿^)(◍•ᴗ•◍)

To be honest I will never forgive a person in reality if someone will insult my feelings like that. I don't think I will be able to believe a person after any such incident.
