Sidharth threw Bluetooth on the ground angrily after declining Shehnaaz's call. He just came back home as Rita was tense. He went to a cafe after dropping Rita which made Rita think that he went to suicide, that's why he came back and got her call. He wanted to deny but her brother cut the call immediately. He is hurt because Shehnaaz assumed everything without talking with him. He was waiting for her to talk with him and at least tell him what happened to her but she just blamed him and called him a cheater. That word stabbed his heart. He sat on the bed placing his hand on his eyes to control himself from crying. He is not an emotional person but when someone from his family misunderstands him, then he feels so much worse. He rubbed his hand on his eyes forcing his eyes not to shed tears because he doesn't cry.

He was trying to distract himself but again Shehnaaz's words came into his mind and her red eyes accused him of cheating on her. A tear fell from his eyes remembering the moment which happened a while ago. He decided to marry her in hurry because of his anger and he don't regret it as he was going to marry her in future also.

He was dreaming future with her, a happily married life with her. Not only girls but boys also have a few dreams regarding thier marriage. He doesn't want to announce her as his wife because he knows many people will bash her. Even if a girl is flawless then also they will not stop bashing her. He likes her and respects her very much, that's why he is very hurt today. His lips trembled and he realised he might cry so he placed his hand on his mouth and sobbed thinking about thier beautiful moments and at last her phone call.

She called him, maybe to sort their matter but how she will take her words back? If she was insecure then why she didn't tell him yet? He was thinking that she don't mind all this otherwise he would have never said yes. He thought she knows that this is a part of his work as they talked initially on the same topic. He always tried his best to make her feel safe and secure with him, then how? Where did he fail?

"Sidharth tell me son what happened?", Asked Rita softly entering his room with a glass of water

"Ma please leave me alone. It's a request and I am going to meet Shehnaaz so don't worry now. Everything is fine between us", Sidharth requested and lied without looking into her eyes, Rita understood that Sidharth lied but didn't question because she don't want to force him. If they want to tell, then they will otherwise she is ready to wait and ignore the issue also.

"Ok", Rita said and left from there after kissing his forehead to assure him that she is with him. Rita trusts Sidharth, she knows her son will never take a wrong decision and will never ruin someone's life.

"Shehnaaz you hurt me a lot today. I was so happy with you. I want to show you my anger by not coming there but I want to sort out our problem. Why you made me so habitual of your presence? Anyways I can't let this issue affect our relationship because we need to solve many fights in future also", Sidharth thought and went to the bathroom to wash his face. After washing his face he went to Rita's room to tell her he is going and started driving towards the location which Shehnaaz sent him
_________

"I asked you to tell him about your past to Sidharth but no... You want to do everything as per your choice ", Jankee said angrily slapping Shehnaaz's arm lightly

"Ammaa it hurts", Shehnaaz shouted and looked down when she received a glare. She knows she is also wrong because she didn't tell Sidharth about her past and her insecurities. If she did then maybe Sidharth would have assured her.

"Sorry ", Shehnaaz apologized

"Not accepted. Save your relationship. He is coming so please, share your insecurities with him. Shehnaaz I know you don't want to open up with anyone but you have to do that now", Jankee said caressing Shehnaaz's back

"I'm scared. What if the same thing happened again? I know Sidharth is not like him but there is no guarantee of Sidharth saying "She opens up too easily and I know her every secret". What if he broke up with me? What if he misunderstood me as an insecure girl which I am. I want to look understanding like you both. I want to understand him", Shehnaaz said looking at her with hurt because she is still not over her past. Forgetting the past is not easy for her. People might say that she lives in past but what she can do when it keeps on haunting her?

"But you are not allowed to say it today. Don't fake as an understanding girl when you are insecure. Tell him and see how he reacts. If he understands then tell your past also and if not then... I don't know what to suggest because it is his right to know about your first love", Jankee said

"Ok fine", Shehnaaz said, Jankee stayed with her till they heard the doorbell ring sound. Shehnaaz's heartbeat started to raise thinking about how to face Sidharth. She is very ashamed of her words and she can't even take them back now. Nakuul left for some work and asked Jankee to stay with her till Sidharth comes, that's why Jankee didn't leave her even for a second.

"Hello ", Jankee waved her hand towards Sidharth and gestured for him to come inside

"We were waiting for you ", she said and closed the door after letting Sidharth in.

"Hii. Where is Shehnaaz?", Sidharth asked with a smile. From inside he is hell nervous and his heart is beating rapidly because of the fear of her reaction. He married her and he knows somewhere it's his mistake also but he doesn't know how to apologise now. With every step, his nervousness is increasing thinking about her reaction and how he will talk. He doesn't know if her doubt is removed or not and her doubt is scaring him because he doesn't want her to say that she wants to break her relationship with him. He knows he will not be able to bear that.

"No Sidharth, now you both are married so she can't", Sidharth assured himself and placed his hand on his chest assuming that someone else is assuming him. He felt his raised heartbeat and removed his hand. Just then he noticed Shehnaaz as Jankee pointed her hand towards Shehnaaz's direction.

"Come Sidharth", Jankee said softly and gestured for him to sit beside Sidharth. Sidharth nodded and sat on the chair which was on Shehnaaz's left side to maintain distance. Jankee went to the kitchen and came with a glass of water which he gulped in a go and thanked her.

"You're welcome. So do you need tea or coffee?", Jankee asked to which Sidharth replied with a no

"Ok so talk I have important work", said Jankee and left from there leaving them after gesturing to Shehnaaz to speak about her insecurities with him.

As she left both Sidharth and Shehnaaz looked down feeling ashamed of their mistakes. One felt guilty for lashing out without thinking twice and another one for marrying in hurry. Both want to talk a lot regarding their feelings, their heart is screaming to talk with each other but both are hesitant to start a conversation with each other now. They kept glancing at each other waiting for one to start a conversation and hence both kept quiet. Only their eyes were depicting many emotions. At last, Sidharth decided to start a conversation after long 10 minutes as those looked very long to him. He didn't come here to stay silent.

"Did you call me here?", he asked

"Yes... I want to talk with you", Shehnaaz stammered when she looked into his eyes and again she looked down as she is guilty of accusing him

"First of all, I'm sorry for my words Sidharth. I should have understood that... That you were acting but I behaved as a fool. I'm really sorry", Shehnaaz apologized

"I don't need your apology Shehnaaz. Tell me how that thought came into your mind. If you were having a problem then why you never told me?", Sidharth asked angrily and then when he noticed that she flinched in fear hearing his loud and angry voice, he regretted his tone immediately.

"Trust me Shehnaaz. I'm not cheating on you. I swear it's just you who my eyes always search for. Every other girl is normal for me but you are special. I don't care if any other girl stays angry with me and misunderstands me but I can't bear your silence Shehnaaz. I can't handle you misunderstanding me like this. It hurts, deep inside my heart I'm feeling pain. Why don't you trust me? I always tried my best to gain your trust. I tried my best to keep myself away from touching you thinking you might feel uncomfortable then how can you think a guy like me will...", Sidharth said and stopped in the middle as his voice cracked in middle. Before he used to act as a male protagonist felt difficult to talk with the female lead and now felt that somewhere serials are linked with reality also.

"Sidharth. Have water", Shehnaaz said and filled a glass of water for him as she noticed his eyes were glistening but he stopped himself from crying. How she will stop herself? If he can confess his feelings then she also can.  And she has to today because it's enough now.

"I'm fine. Just tell me how you thought me that I can cheat on you?", Sidharth asked accusing Shehnaaz from his eyes for her words and her thinking. He is hurt and he will not let go of this matter so easily. Today she has to tell him, why she felt so.
