Reading the article for a moment Sidharth thought that it may be just a trick for the media trying to portray her bad  but his mind stopped working for a minute when he saw the picture ......

Turning off the phone he took and deep breathe and kept it inside his pocket before picking up a bottle of water and gulping down a few mouth full .......

He didn't want to create a scene here and destroy the day for the others......  Sidharth was sitting there while closing his eyes when his friend Ranjeet came and sat beside him ......

Ranjeet : Hey Dude ....... !

Sid : Hey man ..... ( he said changing his expression as fast as possible and acting enthusiastic..... )

Ranjeet : What do you think will the people like it ....?

Sid : I hope so ...... we really worked hard ......

Ranjeet : Yeah we all did after all Kamya made us do the hard work ......

Sid : Hmm....... ( he said nodding his head  )

Soon almost majority of the invited guest were already there ....... He met with some of his co-actors , producers , directors and some celebrities before coming back and taking his seat ......

Kamya : Sidharth what do you think of my look ....?

Sid : You are looking beautiful ( he complimented with a fake smile on his face )

Kamya : Don't do that ....... I'll become  a blushing mess ......

Kamya: By the way you are looking hot tonight ......

Sid : Thanks .....

Kamya: What about your fiancé didn't she accompany you here ......?

Sid: Nope she is busy .....

Kamya : Okay ...... By the way can I ask question if you don't mind .......?

Sid : Go ahead .....

Kamya : Is your engagement real or ......

Sid : You don't need to know anything about my personal life ......

Kamya : Oh .....

Sid : Thanks .....

Soon the screening of the trailer started on the big screen ....... Sidharth could actually see that they didn't even cut out his wedding scene from the movie after all it was so realistic ......

Soon the short 10 minute trailer ended and the Producers and Directors along with Him and Kamya were asked to come to the stage ......

Ranjeet the producer of the film gave a brief about the whole movie ...... He thanked the people present there to enjoy this evening with them ......

The director Mr Shaw shared his experience during the shoot with everyone ...... He even mentioned one such caos that took place in the movie set one of these days ........

Soon the microphone was passed on to Sidharth.....

He took a deep breathe before addressing the crown infront of him .....

Sid : Hey guys ......  ( he said with a genuine smile and small wave with his left hand )

Sid : Thank you all for your presence here tonight .....

Sid : I really hope that you would like the film after the enthusiasm you showed during the trailer of the movie ......

Sid : Well before I end my speech I would actually like to thank Ranjeet , Mr Shaw , all the crew members , sound engineers,  all my co -actors who has worked day and night to make this film come together ......

Sid : Well thank you for all the love and support you have showered on us .....

With a smile on his face he passed the microphone to Kamya .........

Finishing the speeches they were about to get down from the stage when some one from the group of paparazzi spoke ......

Paparazzi  : Sir we have few questions for all of you guys ......

Ranjeet : We'll have the press conference just after the screening of the movie .......

The movie ended about an hour and forty six minutes after it started playing on the screen ...... They could hear a  round of applause the moment the screen turned black and the poster appeared on the screen ......

About half an hour later after meeting all the renowned guests and taking their valuable feedback the press conference started ....... All the previously called people were once again asked to come to the stage ......

Sidharth too went up on the stage along with his friend but this time he had already removed his blazer ......

Paparazzi 1 : My question is for Mr Ranjeet .

Ranjeet : Please go ahead .....

Paparazzi 1 : Sir how was the experience of working with two fully different actors like one of them is experienced and well known and another is a complete newcomer...?

Ranjeet : Well the experience was certainly unique ...... I must say that this smoothness during the shots and scenes you have observed just a few moments ago were because of Sidharth ......

Paparazzi  2: But sir it's rumoured for the last few months that he is really a demanding and shot tempered guy then how come you are giving him the credit....?

Ranjeet : Well you certainly said that it's a rumour...... Well I don't know clearly what you think of him but he is actually the most calm and collected man I have ever met in this industry ...... But his hunger for perfection is something I really respect ......

Kamya : Well I would like to add a point to this ....

Ranjeet : Please ....

Kamya : Being a newcomer in the industry is really terrifying when you need to work with such an experienced person but that was really easy for me ......

Kamya : Mr Sukla has guided me during the whole process more than you can actually think off .....

Sid : Thank you so much for the kind words Kamya .....

Paparazzi 2 : Then what about the rumours sir ?

Sid : Well they are rumours , they were started by a person about whom I don't want to talk about and certainly this is the press conference regarding the film ......

Sid : If you have any movie related question then please go ahead ......

Paparazzi 3 : Sir share us about your experience with Kamya  Ma'am...?

Sid : Well she is one of the hardworking newcomers I have ever seen in thus industry ....... I think the most unique thing about her is her attitude when she wants to learn something .... She would fulfill her wish any how .....

Paparazzi 3 : You visited Amritsar for the first time during the shoot ..... Did you like punjab ...?

Sid : I actually did...... I visited the golden temple few times during my stay other than the shooting purpose and it actually made me feel at peace ..... And what do you want me to say about the food it's always mouth watering .....

Paparazzi 4 : Do you visit Grurdwara often ....?

Sid : If you talk about past then I would say may be for occasional purpose I did visit once or twice but now it's an integral part of the life after getting engaged to a pure Punjabi Girl ....

Paparazzi 1 :  Which scene of the movie was most troublesome while shooting ?

Kamya : I guess I would like to take this question after all it was just because of me .....

Mr Shaw  : Don't be so hard on yourself Kamya ....

Kamya : It was the rain sequence shown just before the Gurudwara marriage ........ It took us about 40 takes to complete that single scene ......

The press conference prolonged much more than Sidharth would have anticipated , giving the answers for the said questions were a little tricky when they related it to the rumours and his personal life but Sidharth did handle it better than he though he could .......

As soon as the interview ended Ranjeet announced about the celebration party on the weekend before Sidharth quietly slipped out of the venue .......

He called Adit  and asked him to bring the car near the back entrance so that he could just leave unnoticed ......

The moment he reached his apartment building , he somehow got out of the car and entered the elevator before bidding Adit off for the night .......

As soon as the elevator closed it's door he took out his phone and turned on the internet connection .....

Thousand of messages started accumulating in his inbox ..... Not just the massages but the articles too showed up .....

Sid : So they have a  doubt on her .....

All though the movie premiere and screening made the Controversy to tone down a couple of notches but that doesn't mean he was any less angry on Shehnaaz .....

As soon as he entered the apartment he could hear the laughter of the people present in the living area .....

He moved towards the room and stood leaning on the door frame looking at the people envolved in the  funny banter both Neetu Di and Shehnaaz were having .......

Although he was not in the mood to destroy the peace but he could just sit idle and do nothing......

He can take anything except when people try to criticize his family and Shehnaaz is an essential part of it ......

Sid : Where were you in the evening?

Hearing the voice Shehnaaz look towards the doorway with a million dollar smile the moment she realised that her husband was back from the movie screening ......

Sana : Me ...?

Sid : Yeah .....

Sana : I was in the hospital and then came back home ......

Sid : Then what is this Controversy about ....?

Sana : What are you talking about?

Sid : You hugging a man in the parking lot .....

Sana : What ...?

Sid : You don't even know about it and here nearly the whole media has made you look like a cheater .....

Sana : Bebu ..... you know that I would never do such a thing ......

Sid : It really doesn't matter what I think about you right now Shehnaaz ......

Sana : It does Sidharth after all you are my husband ...

Sid : I don't care but if this Controversy plays an impact on my film then I won't leave you .....

Sana : What are you saying Sidharth ...? How can you even think that I'll cheat on you  ...?

Sana : You know how much .....

Before she could actually complete her sentence he held her arm and dragged her to his bedroom before shutting the door ......

Sid : Don't create a scene infront of my family Shehnaaz ....

Sana : I'm creating a scene ...... then why did you ask me the question ......?

Sidharth I just asked you about your where abouts and then told you about the new Controversy you created .......

Sana : But was that actually my intension ...... ?

Sana : No ..... it wasn't......

Sana : I didn't even meet anyone .....I just came back from the hospital with bhai that's it ......

Sid : Well thats not my concern .....

Sana : Why is that......? I'm your wife and you should be concerned about me .....

Sid : A wife that shares half information with her husband .......

Sana : What half information did I give you ......

Sid : Did you say if you have hugged anyone before coming back or not .... .

Sana : But that's really a common sense after I said that I didn't meet anyone accept bhai so it must be him that I hugged ......

Sid : And why would you hug Abhinav jiju .....?

Sana : Why can't I ....?

Sid : Why will you .....?

Sana : I'm his sister ......

Sid : By name ..... not a real one .....

Sana : But that doesn't mean that you'll react like this .......

Sid : How did I react ....?

Sana : The way you are doing just right now ......

Sid : I just want to know why are you providing me with half information and most of the time I have to know it from others .......

Sana : What did I do now .....?

Sid : Did you tell me that,  that day Di had accused of so many things and one of them was infidelity......

Sana : Yeah but that doesn't matter because I don't care what she thinks...... All I care about is what ma thinks of me after what she said and the moment I realised that she didn't believe it I'm cool with it
.......

Sid : Oh just like the time you didn't care to tell that the rascal Abhishek actually more or less raped you and then left you to fend for yourself.......

Sana : Bebu..... who told you that ...?

Sid : Nikita ....

Sid : Why didn't you tell me about that ?

Sana : It's really hard Bebu ..... it's really hard to share such a thing with anyone ......

Sid : I'm anyone ......

Sana : That's not the think Sidharth .... Don't drag this further ......

Sid : So now I'm dragging the topic wow ......

Sana : It's really hard when you know that it was the reason you actually wanted to kill yourself and commitment suicide for that ......

Sid : What ...!

Sana : Yeah .... and was saved by my roommate ......

Sid : Didn't you complain about him ?

Sana : I did but was asked to drop it by my father.....

Seeing the tears rolling down her cheeks Sidharth came forward and wrapped her in his embrace ......

Sana : I really love you a lot Sidharth .....

Sana : I would actually rather die than think of cheating on you .....

Sid : Stop .....

Sana : I promise that I'll take care of the Controversy......

Sid : Don't worry I'll post something and it would be gone faster than you expect it .......

Sana : Are you angry on me .......?

Sid : No darling but it really hurt me after reading the text from Nikita about you ....... It felt and that I have to know about these things from her rather than you ......

Sana : I'm sorry......

Sid : It's okay..... its not your fault ........

He placed a kiss on her forehead and moved towards the washroom to freshen up .....

…

…

…

It was just the day after the premiere and the wave of articles and urge to find a new controversy on her disappeared the moment Sidharth released a photo from the engagement party about his family and mentioned that the man in the pictures on the articles was just his brother in law and both his fiancé and him are more like brother and sister .......

He even made Mehul threaten the media houses for trying to sabotage her name ......

They finished their breakfast earlier than usual and was just sitting in the livingroom ......

Rita Ma : I'm missing Riya ......

Sid : me too mom but what can we do .....

Sana : Why's that ?

Rita Ma : Today is her birthday......

Sana : Oh .....

Sid : You know each year we used to throw a party on her and akshu's birthday but this year .......

Sana : I'm sorry love .....

Sid : It's Okay ...... After all I'm no one to them so how come I can meet the kids ...... ?

Sana : You can .....

Rita Ma  : How  ?

Sana : Di took away your right but Raghav bhai didn't......

Sana : I know you have brought a gift for her.....

Sana : So just go and give it to her and if someone asked you then tell that you are Raghav bhai's friend ......

Rita Ma : That's a good idea .....

Sid : But what about mom .....

Rita Ma : Don't worry I have already talked to her on phone...... by the way take my gift with you .........

Sana : Mine too ......

Saying she ran towards the main entrance holding her phone on one had and her purse on the other ......
