Social media can really be a boon at some point when there are no other options left ...... It's not always the platform which people use to compare themselves and get disappointed in their life .......

May be at certain times this particular social media can give someone a perspective , a determination to make the person's life better than the previous one .......

Well although each and everything has its consequences at the same time like these social media can be really time consuming and competitive......

Well keeping that aside just after both Sidharth and Shehnaaz has posted individual clarification posts from their account Shehnaaz took away the cell phone from his hand and kept it aside ...... Both of them were sitting on the bed facing eachother , one of them observing how photogenic the other one is .......

Shehnaaz was someone who can change her aura within minutes or seconds , may be it was her aura or nature as she really believed..... The girl who was confidently and maturely handling the situation just a moment ago was sitting there on the bed fiddling with her pallu the very next moment because of her shyness ......

Sidharth although most of the times didn't support this nature of Shehnaaz where she loves to take pictures for her memory but it has proved to be the best thing possible just few moments earlier......

Although he is an actor but camera isn't really his first love ...... He loves the audience and the feedback they give after they get entertained from his work and this is what his real motivation comes from ......

Knowing about her crazy ideas and how much she loves to capture every essence of life is what he finds really amazing......

He looked at the way she was sitting on the bed just a little away from him , wearing a cotton saree that's accentuating her curves making her look devilishly sexy at the same time cute when her facial features are considered......

She was playing with the excess fabric of the saree , her bangles jingling due to her continuously hand movement , her hair locks covering a part of her face , the medium sized jhumka all in all was making her the perfect definition of aesthetic........

Sidharth slowly picked up his phone from the night stand , within a minute Shehnaaz turned her head when she heard the click of the camera ......

He showed her the picture with a huge grin on his face showing how proud he is because of his photography skills .....

Sid : Isn't it amazing ......

Sana : It is ..... ( she said looking at the picture )

Sana : After all you clicked it .....

Shaking her head with a slight giggle ,Shehnaaz got up from her place and picked up her phone ......

Sid : Where are you going?

Sana : It's going to be four soon ..... I need to go to the hospital.....

Sid : Isn't today your day off ......

Sana : I took a leave tomorrow......

Sid : Excited?

Sana : Very much ! ( she exclaimed beaming like a child )

Sidharth got up from his position and stood infront of her before wrapping his arm around her bare waist ......

Sid : You are looking gorgeous in this saree .....

Sana : Thanks ( she said shyly )

Sid : And Thank you.....

Sana : For what ?

Sid : Taking care of me ......

Sana : I just do it because I want to ......

He kissed on her forehead slightly before letting her go away from him ....... Shehnaaz on the other hand walked out of the room with a giddy feeling sprouting inside her heart ......

Her million dollar smile is all a person needs inorder to understand her condition ...... Anybody looking at her can immediately tell the girl is falling for her partner deeply .....

As soon as she entered the parking area wearing her go to Salwar suit along with the everyday braid , she found him standing there leaning on the bonnet of his car ....... He looked up the moment he heard the jingling sound of her anklets .......

Shehnaaz looked straight into his dark brown expressive orbs while slowly moving towards him ..... She felt as if the world around them has vanished into the thin air while a faint sound of those old Bollywood melody could be heard floating in the air .....

Shehnaaz felt as if she is a part of the bollywood movie where her hero was waiting for her ....... The moment she came near him she could see his lips curving to a smile before he raised her hand towards her .......

Although he was an actor but the moment he saw her coming towards him while he heard the old melody in the background he felt like this was the real essence of bollywood....... As soon as she came near him , he tried to bite back his smile looking at her confused face.....

Sidharth raised his hand and removed the stray locks on her face with his finger's and tucking it behind her ear before holding her hand and guiding her towards the passenger seat ....

The drive to the hospital was a quite , peaceful one where both the party sat there feeling the presence of the other person while listening to the soothing voice of Arijit Singh......

Shehnaaz got out of the car and waited at the entrace till the moment he disappeared from her eyesight.......

Going on rounds , checking the reports and checking out the patients was all she needed to do for the night ...... Although her duty hours were majorly taken away by the opd during the other days she could understand less chaotic atmosphere of the night .......

Today for the first time she was given the charge of the neonatal care unit ....... She could see the little bundle of joy in the small incubators......Though her heart ached seeing them in that condition , away from their parents , that was what they actually needed the most in order to live a healthy life in future .........

It was going to be dawn soon when she got off from her duty and got back to her apartment in the car sent by her husband ...... Her heart dance with joy seeing his care for her ......

...

...

...

The very next morning Shehnaaz woke up from the short nap she took after she came back ..... Finishing her everyday morning routine , she picked her already decided outfit for the day before going inside the washroom ......

Standing below the shower her mind slipped back to the day when she was wearing a saree , she was trying to pin the pallu by standing infront of the vanity mirror ......

FLASHBACK......

Today was just another ordinary day .... It has been a week after Shehnaaz had placed her foot into this huge city .......

Just like the other day she got up early in the morning and finished doing all the house hold chores in her apartment before taking a shower .......

It wasn't really the first time Shehnaaz was wearing a saree but still sometimes she faces the most common problems like any other girl ......

Tucking her pleats in the front she was about to fix and pin the pallu when a pair of hands wrapped around her waist ...... She wasn't sure if she was expected to finish her work or not .......

Sidharth placed his chin on her shoulder looking at her through the mirror....... It was just like those filmy sequence where the hero back Hugs the heroine.......

Practically he was actually back hugging her ..... Shehnaaz placed her hand on top of his before caressing the back of his palm with her fingers .....

She tilted her head to the side the moment she felt him nuzzling his face into her neck ....... She practically forced herself to inhale a staggering breath ......

His touch on her bare waist along with the extra sensitive area of her neck made her feel like a humanoid pudding in his arms ......

Those small feather like kisses he placed on the exposed portion of her shoulder , the smooth touches of his rough hands on her waist made her feel millions of senses and emotions within that short period of time ...... The toe curling sensation in her body when he sucked on her earlobe made her hot and bothered at the same time .......

She moved away from him shyly the very moment his grip got loose around her waist .... Her thumping heart , heaving chest and her lust filled eyes was making her look as if it was a perfect scene from an erotic drama ......

FLASHBACK END........

She shook her head trying to remove the memories she had of that morning ...... Turning off the shower she patted her body dry before wearing her clothes .....

She drapped a beautiful orange coloured Gadwal saree around her .... Wearing a big statement earing paired along with the beautiful bangles , she placed a small bindi on her forehead completing her look with her minimalistic makeup and a small diamond nose pin .......

Styling her hair with loose curls she picked up her purse before leaving her apartment.......

All the ladies along with Adit got into one of Sidharth's vehicle before leaving for the temple .... Shehnaz along with Rita Ma and Neetu Di sat on the back seat of the car while Preeti Di was on the front along with Adit........

The Streets of Mumbai in the morning with a little congestion here and there made the city a whole less amount of chaotic like the other times she has been travelling.......

The vegetable vendors along with the small dairy shop owners were the only people out there leaving the occasional morning walkers and the workers from the municipality.......

It didn't take them more than forty minutes reaching the doors of Bappa ...... She got out of the car and wore her mask mask as fast as humanly possible ........ Both Shehnaaz and Rita Ma walked hand in hand towards the shops for buying the sweets they were going to offer to the almighty........

As they entered inside the Sidhi Vinayak Temple the whole atmosphere made her feel like it was soothing and calming her inner soul ...... She noted down in her mind to often visit this Temple along with the Gurudwara.......

They moved towards the stage before handing over the plates full of sweets and other stuffs required for the Puja to the Priest ........

Rita Ma looked at her children standing beside her before moving towards Shehnaaz and covering her head with her pallu ......

She gave her a small hug before all of them stood there joining their hands infront of the idol ......

Priest : Is this a special visit my child ?

Rita Ma : Yes sir .....

Priest : May I know the names for whom the Puja is going to be offered to the lord .....

Rita Ma : Yes .... It's Shehnaaz Gill and Sidharth Shukla...

Priest : May I know the occasion ?

Rita Ma : My son Sidharth is going to get engaged to this lovely girl Shehnaaz in just a week ......

Rita Ma : We just wanted to take the blessing of Bappa before we started the preparations.....

Priest : If both the kids met each other without a causative agent behind them under the supervision of almighty then I'm sure the lord wants them to be a part of one another's life ......

Priest : I'll pray for them to the lord so that my child here can have a happy and prosperous life ahead with her husband and her whole family .....

Soon all of them came out of the temple , Shehnaaz once again wore her mask before following other's to their destination ......

...

...

...

It was around noon when the ladies reached at the shopping centre ....... They went inside the stores one by one untill they reached the place they wanted for her outfit .......

Rita Ma : So what do you really want to wear on the engagement day ?

Preeti Di : Mom what type of question is it ......

Neetu Di : Ofcourse she would like to have a lehanga ....... It's what the trend is all about......

Rita Ma : Well that's okay ...... I just wanted to know her choice .......

Sana : But Ma ..... honestly I wanted to wear a saree if it's possible.......

Rita Ma : You want to wear a saree ? ( she asked going forward towards Shehnaaz )

Sana : Yes Ma ....... I want to ...... it's actually something I thought about a lot and I certainly prefer saree over any other outfit ......

Preeti Di : Okay then let's go and buy something ...... we really don't have the whole day......

Nodding her head acknowledging what the his elder sister said she followed his mother's towards the saree section ......

His sisters started pick out sarees and other stuffs for them while here Rita Ma and Shehnaaz was busy finding hers ......

It took them more than three complete hours before they could cut down their options to three ..... Being confused she took out her phone from her purse.....

Rita Ma : Calling him huh ? ( she asked in a teasingmanner)

Sana : Umm..... yeah ......

Rita Ma : want to take his opinion ...?

Sana : Want him to select ......

Rita Ma : That's something new ......

Shehnaaz took the picture of the sarees and send it to him ......

Within a minute or two her phone chimed alerting her of the new inbox text......

She opened the phone and saw his message .....

Rita Ma : What did he say ...?

Sana : Take both the second and the third one ....

Rita Ma: Then we are following that only ......

Finally they came out of the store when Shehnaaz looked at Rita Ma asking.......

Sana : Ma what about his clothes ?

Rita Ma : Darling he has already asked his stylist about it the very next day ........

Sana : That's why he asked me about my opinion .....

Rita Ma : Why did you come to shopping with me when you could have clearly got a designer dress .....

Sana : I didn't want that ...... I wanted to experience this ....... He has already asked me hundreds of times during the whole week but I wanted to come with you ......

...

...

...

It was around 4pm when Shehnaaz got a call from her manager ......

Phone Call 📲

Nikita : Hello Sana ....

Sana : Yeah ..... when are you going to come ?

Nikita : I'm already downstairs ...... just tell me which floor ..?

Sana : Fifth floor....

Nikita : I'll be there soon ..... just open the door for me ....

Sana : Okay ......

Call End 📱

She got up from her place and walked towards the front door before opening it ......

Nikita : This place is really good ...... ( she said while entering the apartment )

Sana : Thank you.....

Nikita : So here is your outfit .....

She said handing over the bag to Shehnaaz before both of them sat down on the couch ....

Sana : What is it ?

Nikita : A westernized Sharara set .....

Sana : Okay ......

Nikita : Well then keep it aside and now tell

Sana : What ?

Nikita : Why did you run away from the wedding ...... ?

Sana : The man was a life sized red flag .....

Nikita : That's the reason I told you to meet him once before agreeing ......

Sana : Well the idea of not meeting the groom came from my parents ......

Nikita : Well your grandparents were helping you right.....

Sana : Yeah but at the end he would have informed my father......

Nikita : What was his occupation ?

Sana : Politics ......

Nikita : I'm so sorry darling......

Sana : It's okay .....

Nikita : What triggered you into taking the drastic steps....... I don't think it's just him being a politician......

Sana : The lies my father told them .....

Nikita : What were they?

Sana : I am a 12th pass out and working in a call centre in Delhi .....

Nikita : That's nasty .....

Sana : I know .....

Nikita : So what now...?

Sana : Nothing much .....

Nikita : What about that liking someone statement you said earlier .....?

Sana : Umm .... It's like I like ..... no ... no.... My feelings are like more than like and a little less than love for someone......

Nikita : Okay .....

There was a long cause before she started ....

Nikita : What does he do .?

Sana : He's an actor .....

Nikita : Do I know him ?

Sana : Technically yes .... Personally no .....

Nikita : He is elder than you.....?

Sana : Ummm .... Yeah .....

Nikita : Does he know about your feelings ...?

Sana : A little bit .... Not fully .....

Nikita : Okay ......

Sana: The thing is......

Before she could finish her statement the front door opened once again before Shehnaaz heard the voice she was longing for the entire day .....

Sid : Darling ..... I'm back .....

Sid : See what I have here for you ....

Hearing his voice Shehnaaz jumped out of her place before making a dash towards the door .....

As soon as Shehnaaz left from there the curious soul Nikita followed her.....

She hugged Sidhath tightly as if her life was depending on it ...... Feeling her excitement after seeing him made Sidhath feel giddy ...... He was happy that there's a person other than his mother waiting for him ...... With a soft smile on his handsome face he hugged her back ......

The connection they had , the feeling they felt in their heart , the warmth the felt in the presence of each other along with the comfort was all they needed for the time being....... No words or actions were required to convey their emotions .....

Breaking away from the hug she looked at him .....

Sana : You came back so early. ...?

Sid : I didn't want to do overtime ...... My mind was playing tricks imagining you the moment you send me those pictures .......

Sana : Oh....ho .... And here I was thinking that you are working delegently....

Sid : I was .... But .... Ummm...

Sana : It's okay....... I am happy that you came back soon .....

Sid : I know right ?

Sana : Hmmm......

Sana : What did you bring for me ...... ?

Sid : Your recent obsession......

Sana : Dhokla ......

Sidharth nodded his head with the positive reply ......

Sana: Thank you bebu .... ( She said kissing on his cheeks in overexcitement )

Seeing her getting happy in these small small things made him feel so lucky to have such a person in his life ...... He kissed on her forehead before hugging her once again ......

Nikita : Ahem .... Ahem.......

She cleared her throat to make them realise of her presence...... Swallowing down the fear Shehnaaz turned around looking at Nikita was was standing there with a shocked yet curious face .......

Sana : Umm ..... Nikita this is Sidharth and Sidharth this is Nikita my manager.......

Sid : Hello .... Nice to meet you ....

Nikita : Although I'm shocked but ..... Nice to meet you as well sir ......

They shook their hands before Shehnaaz dragged both of them to the livingroom ....

Nikita : Although I had already prepared myself but this is really shocking ......

Nikita : When and where did this happen ?

Sid : Go ahead baby .... It's your time to shine .....

Sana : Well ... ( she started speaking with a giggle )

Sana : Well let me tell you the story from the beginning .....

As she narrated the whole incident from them getting married to how they decided to give each other a chance Nikita face went pale from horror to extreme shock and smiling after hearing the cute details......

She told her about her Shifting to Mumbai and them trying to know each other , spending time along with some romantic date nights.......

Nikita : I don't know if I should say this but please make a film out of your life ......

Nikita : It's gonna be a super hit blockbuster......

Sid : Hahaha......

With a laugh he kissed on the side of her head before getting up .....

Sid : Both of you continue with your conversations while I just go and freshen up ......

Nikita : Sure Go ahead sir .....

Nodding his head he left from there towards the bedroom but not before turning around and giving her a wink accompanied with a flying kiss ...... She blushed due to his PDA .... Before clearing her throat and looking back at Nikita .....

Nikita : He's romantic huh .......

Sana : Yup ...... more than you can imagine ......

Nikita : Well I'll here about these romantic details later ..... let's come back to the main point.....

Sana : Well it's just that you know about the controversy that's going on .....

Nikita : Hmm...... And he needs to be engaged . .....

Sana : Well yeah ..... he does ..... and as we are already married so it shouldn't be a problem .....

Nikita : It shouldn't....

Sana : That's why we are getting engaged next week ......

Nikita : Oh..... okay....

Sana : And you know about my family condition......

Nikita : Yeah ..... I do .....

Sana : I really want you there on my special day with Rituraj bhai and the kids .....

Nikita : Are you sure ......

Sana : Although I don't call you Di but you already know that you are my sister ......

Nikita : I know that baby .....

Sana : I really want someone from my near and dear one's to attend the ceremony on that day......

Nikita : Baby ..... we are going to be there ...... Don't be upset......

Sana : Thank you so much......

Soon after Nikita left leaving the couple alone in the apartment when Sidharth came out of the bedroom wearing his famous t-shirt and shorts ......

Sana : Wanna have some coffee ?

Sid : Sure......

Both of them sat down on the chairs in the semi-recessed balcony of her apartment......

Sid : How was your day.....?

Sana : It was fun ..... We went to the temple , had our breakfast in a local cafe then drove to the shopping centre ......

Sana : Bought the dresses then had lunch ......

Sid : My sister's didn't say anything to you right ?

Sana : Mhmm..... they ignored my existence most of the time ......

Sid : That's insulting ......

Sana : That's actually better than the harsh words they speak sometimes .....

Sid : I'm sorry darling...... I'm sorry on their behalf .....

Sana : Bebu ..... each and every person is different and they just have a different point of view than us .....
