The gate was opened by Riya....

Riya : Finally you are here !

Shehnaaz didn't know what to say she just stood there with a slight awkward smile ...

While Sidharth who understood her awkwardnees.... decided to reduce it

SS : so yeah ...Fit....I mean Shehnaaz...meet Riya..my neice....and Riya she is.....(before he could complete his sentence ...he was interrupted by Riya)

Riya : You don't need to mamu ...inke charche toh humare pure khaandan main chal rahe hai!

While Shehnaaz coughed listening this ...
And Sidharth glared Riya...

SS : Hum andar chale ...

The trio moved inside....

Shehnaaz slowly whispered to sidharth "I don't think I'm ready for this Professor....can we please go back!"🥺

Sidharth held hand and said ...."Believe me Fitoor agar tumne ye baat lift main boli hoti toh main pakka le jata...but tumhe nahi lagta it's too late now ..🥺"

SG : I hate you forever Professor!

SS : I love you forever Fitoor!

She just took a deep breath and held Sidharth's pinky finger with hers ....

They both moved towards the hall...

Rita Ma and Neetu Di were sitting their discussing something....

Just when Riya entered and said "Look who's here...!"

Both of their faces moved towards SidNaaz...

Shehnaaz folded her hand and said "namaste"

Both of them didn't say anything.....But Rita Maa got up from her place...and stood in front of shehnaaz ...

Shehnaaz was going to touch her feet....but Rita Maa held her hand and stopped her.... side hugged her and said "Humare yahan betiyan pair nahi chuti"

This one sentence was enough for shehnaaz to think back that how in their family, relative....even a 5 year old kid is supposed to touch the feet and if they don't then theirs gonna be a big fuss about it! The Family Drama in her family is never ending!

As Shehnaaz and Rita Maa broke the hug.......

Rita Maa : Aao betho ...

Shehnaaz looked a Sidharth once and he blinked his eyes.....

She sat with Rita Maa..... while Sidharth sat opposite of her....

Neetu Di : don't worry Shehnaaz relax ...hum yahan tumhara koi interview thodi lenge ....just be comfortable...

Shehnaaz gave a sweet smile...to her...
Being an introvert.... it's really hard for her to mingle with people since Childhood....

And right now coming to your boyfriend's place who is also you Professor,to meet his family ...was making her anxious and nervous!

Rita Maa : Toh Shehnaaz....family main kon kon hai tumhari. .

SG : ji aunty main , mummy papa aur ek badi behen...

Rita : a small little family.... nice

Neetu Di : Aap log baat karo main coffee , chai banwati hoon...

SG : Di.. Actually main na chai peeti hoon na Coffee....

Neetu Di : Arey Aisa kyu ...

SG : vo bas aese hi ...

Rita Ma : aacha toh ek kaam karte hai..sidhe dinner karte hai... vaise bhi time hogya hai....
Tumlog betho dining table par main dinner lagati hoon ...

SG : Aunty main bhi help karti hoon aapki....

Neetu Di : arey Shehnaaz don't worry main hoon na mom ki help karne ke liye...

SG : Lekin...

Neetu Di : Shehnaaz bass...ek aur shabd nahi....hum dinner lagate hai tab tak tum aur Riya baatein Karo....

Saying this Rita Ma and Neetu Di went towards the kitchen..

Now only Sidharth and Riya were sitting in the hall along with Shehnaaz...!

As soon as Sidharth saw that his mother and sister entered the kitchen...he wasted no time in jumping from his seat to Shehnaaz's....

He jumped and Sat beside Shehnaaz...while keeping his hand on her shoulder and pulled her in himself...and said "You all right?"

Shehnaaz whispered and said "I am fine Professor but can you just... like not  ...stick ...you know"

Sidharth squinted his eyes and asked "Are you like..feeling uncomfortable with me?"

SG : no....no...it's just that your...your neice ...she is seating here too ...

Riya : Atleast someone remembers me ....

Sidharth just gave a sarcastic smile to Riya..and said to Shehnaaz "You don't have to worry about her...we have a friendly bond besides she is my NIECE"

Riya : his favourite one ....
(she looked at Sidharth and said "you forgot to mention that"!)

SS : Yes...and my most favourite one...

Shehnaaz giggled lightly...

While a smile came on Sidharth's face listening her giggle....

Suddenly Riya said "waise shehnaaz di--

SG : only Shehnaaz ....will work ...

Riya : okay ...so shehnaaz aapko lays pasand hai!? (She said while eyeing sidharth)

SG : hnn i mean , sabko pasand hote hai ...lays kisko nahi pasand

Riya : right....you know humare ghar main bohut main ....aapko chaiye ho toh bolna ....(she said while side eyeing Sidharth)

While Shehnaaz was not understanding anything....she just smiled ..

Riya : waise aapki pata hai ...mamu ko lays nahi pasand....like ekdum nahi ..

Shehnaaz looked at Sidharth and said "seriously,Pro ..i Mean Sidharth"

Sidharth cleared his throat and said "I mean....like..."

SG : you don't like Lays ! Then what in the world you like , BROCOLLI!?

SS : Yeah i mean those are good for health you know....

SG : Oh My God Sidharth...You know what just Don't speak a Word now!Just don't! Just Shhh🤐

Before they could speak further.... neetu Di called them in the dinning table ...

Three of them moved towards the dinning table...

All three of them sat....

Sidharth sat beside Shehnaaz opportunity to them Riya and Neetu Di..and Rita Maa on the head chair...

Riya : Mamu atleast be a gentleman,pull a chair for your GIRLFRIEND...(she said in a teasing manner)

While Shehnaaz choked on her water listening GIRLFRIEND

SS : Riya , my sweet sweet niece...i believe that my lady is strong enough to pull a chair for herself! (He said with an extra sweet smile)

Riya : My Lady,I see (she said smirking)

The dinner was served and all of them were eating...

When Neetu Di said "Shehnaaz what are doing day after tomorrow...i mean mera aur mummy ka plan tha Mumbai ghumne ka...so.. why don't you join!?"

After that none of them said anything... sidharth tried holding her hand under the table but shehnaaz jerked it everytime ....

All of them finished their dinner ...and sat in the hall...

SG : ab main chalti hoon aunty.. .kaafi late ho raha hai

Rita Ma : thik hai beta...

She got up and hugged Shehnaaz.....

Shehnaaz hugged neetu Di and Riya too...

They dropped her till the gate....

While sidharth walked with her ...as he was the one who's gonna drop her ....

Ad they reached the parking lot....he opened the door for her ....she also hopped inn... without sparing him a glance....

Sidharth sat in the driver seat and left towards her home...
