15. KISS?

Sidharth is sleeping peacefully on his bed while dreaming about Shehnaaz. It would be a lie if I say that he is not attracted to her. He is in a situation where he is not able to think about anyone except her. She is always in her mind. He is falling in love with her without his consent. 

Unknown to him, Shehnaaz sneaked inside his room and smirked looking at his sleeping posture. With steady steps, she walks ahead and lies down behind him while encircling her arms around his shoulders and torso. 

Shehnaaz:- ( huskily ) Sidharth…

Sidharth felt ticklish but didn’t wake up making her pout. She bends down and again whispers in his ear while roaming her hands on his chest sensually. 

Shehnaaz:- Sidharth… wake up, Jaan. 

Hearing her tone and feeling her soft hands on his torso, he moans in delight. 

Sidharth:- Hmm…

Shehnaaz chuckled at his response and again called him. This time he turns around and faces her with his sleepy eyes. 

Sidharth:- What are you doing, Shehnaaz? Let me sleep. 

Shehnaaz:- ( stubbornly ) No… Rise and shine, Shy boy. 

Sidharth just hummed, making her angry. Without caring about anything she removes his quilt and twists his nipple giving a 440-volt shock to him. The sleep went into the drain with her single move whereas Sidharth’s eyes are opened like saucers. 

Sidharth:- ( in shock ) Shehnaaz, what have you done? 

Shehnaaz:- ( shrugged her shoulders ) What have I done? 

Sidharth:- You… You… just twisted my… my… nip…

He is shy while pronouncing that word because of his shy nature whereas Shehnaaz understood him. Soon he noticed their closeness which increased his blush. Not wanting to make her uncomfortable he moves back making her scoff in frustration. 

Shehnaaz:- Why did you move back? Am I some “touch me not plant”? 

Sidharth denied while looking down while Shehnaaz hovered over him with a not-so-innocent smirk and his hands automatically wrapped around her waist to make her steady on his chest. 

Sidharth:- ( gulped hard ) what… What are you… are you doing? 

Shehnaaz:- Just doing what my heart says. 

Hearing her statement Sidharth looks at her with soft and love-filled eyes. He asked a question while gathering all his courage and locking his shyness in a box. 

Sidharth:- Are… are you feeling the same as what I feel for you? 

Shehnaaz:- ( with a broad smile ) My feelings are much stronger than yours. I can’t name it right now but I love being near you. 

She puts her heart in front of him like an open book and her gaze is fixed on his face while her hands are caressing his little stubble. This time Sidharth didn’t tear his gaze away from her face but rather looked into her eyes to find only love and sincerity in them. 

Shehnaaz’s fingers moved a little up and she caressed his lower lip making him take a deep breath. Suddenly his lips and throat went dry under her spell. 

Shehnaaz:- Sidharth, I want to taste them. Should I? 

Sidharth nods positively under her spell and raises his head for her easy access. Shehnaaz smiles seeing his gesture and raises herself to devour what belongs to her. 

She placed her lips on his and sucked his lower lip ever so slowly and lovingly cupping his cheeks whereas Sidharth closed his eyes feeling bliss and tightened his hold around her waist. He moans in urgency and squishes her bum making her eyes widen. 

After separating their lips, Shehnaaz huffed and took deep breaths while Sidharth couldn’t wait for a second and said. 

Sidharth:- I… I LOVE….. 

Without hearing his complete sentence Shehnaaz pushed him hard making him fall from the bed while rolling. 

He opens his eyes and rubs his bum while looking for Shehnaaz but to his utter shock, she is not present in his room. He panics and calls hers in urgency. 

Sidharth:- Shehnaaz… Shehnaaz… Shehnaaz… 

Hearing his shout Ritu barged into his room with messy hands. 

Ritu:- What happened? Why are you shouting early in the morning, Sidharth? ( while gritting her teeth ) You and your father will never let me work in the kitchen peacefully, no? 

Not giving any heed to her words, Sidharth asked impatiently. 

Sidharth:- Maa, Where is Shehnaaz? 

Ritu:- Shehnaaz? She didn’t come yet but why are you asking about her? ( worriedly ) Everything alright? 

Sidharth’s face fell and his heart sank in deep sorrow when he realized that EVERYTHING WAS A DREAM. Her confession, her presence in his room, their closeness, and most importantly THEIR KISS were a bloody dream. This realization is enough to set his heart on fire. 

But soon he realized that he just saw a wet dream, his fucking first wet dream. And his lower part is hard like a rock which indicates that he needs a cold shower. He hides his hardness from his mom with embarrassment. 

Ritu walks out while nodding her head in disbelief after seeing his expression which changes like a T.V channel. She frowned seeing the changes but chose to ignore them as she has a task to prepare Shehnaaz’s favorite food before she comes home. 

In all this mess Sidharth forgot the fact that he just confessed his love for her. Although it was just a dream, the feelings were true for him. 

On the other hand, Shehnaaz sprung up like a spring from her sleep with just a mere aroma of her favorite Aloo paratha. Her eyes glitter knowing the fact that today her Bhabhi cooked her favorite parathas exclusively for her. She got down from her bed and walked inside the washroom to get ready fast so that her Aloo paratha would not get upset after not finding her at the dining table on time. 

Today there is some extra excitement in her eyes unknown to the fact that she snatched someone’s sleep. Her lips are automatically moving while murmuring a melody. 

Shehnaaz:- Aaj main upar aasman neeche

Aaj main aage zamana hai peechhe

Tell me o khuda ab main kya karoon

Chaloon seedhi ke ulti chaloon

Aaj main upar aasman neeche……….

Her excitement is witnessed by the father and daughter who come to wake her up but end up with another heart stroke. 

Pihu:- ( while rubbing her eyes ) Am I still dreaming that my Bui is dancing and singing? 

Vihan:- ( in a daze ) If this is a dream then I should go and have a check-up because these types of dreams didn’t suit my heart. Shehnaaz is always behind my neck and this excited Shehnaaz is no less than any sword. 

Pihu:- ( suspiciously ) But why is Bui singing and dancing so early in the morning? ( after a pause ) Is she in love? 

Vihan is trying to calm his raging heart but all of a sudden he gets paralyzed hearing his daughter’s question. “Is Shehnaaz in love?” 

Vihan:- ( confidently ) No… love-shove is not her cup of tea. And who will love this Crock-pot? 

Pihu:- Maybe someone who lacks chirpiness in his life and wants some spiciness in his life. Then, he will think of marrying Bui. 

Somewhere Vihan found this true but soon changed his thoughts and focused on his daughter who is turning into a little spy after watching CID on repeat. 

Vihan:- Pihu, stop watching crime-thriller shows. Watch some cartoons which suit your age. 

Pihu:- ( innocently ) But Bui said that don’t need to watch cartoons because I had a cartoon father who is no less than any Doraemon. 

Vihan:- ( horrified expressions ) Did she just call me Doraemon? 

Pihu:- ( hiding her giggles ) I think so… 

Vihan:- ( tiredly ) Thank god! Doraemon is better than Eyeshadow Palette. 

Pihu:- Aww… Bui gave you a new name “EYESHADOW PALETTE”. So cute!…

Vihan shoots daggers at his daughter and walks down for his breakfast. Soon Shehnaaz joined everyone making the environment joyful. 

Navya:- Shehnaaz, come and sit. Today I prepared your favorite Aloo paratha. 

Shehnaaz:- ( grinned ) I know! 

Navya:- How? 

Pihu:- ( innocently ) Mom, don’t you know that Bui was a dog at her previous birth? That’s why her nose can smell food from kilometers away. 

Vihan:- And in this birth, she is not less than any bitch. 

Navya:- ( with a lip-tight smile ) Vihan, I think you don’t want to live on the streets, right? 

Shehnaaz:- ( showing her teeth ) Bhai, and you don’t want any bitch to bite you, right? 

Vihan nods with horror-filled eyes making the ladies smirk in victory. 

Vihan:- ( murmurs ) I am alone in this house that’s why these girls are dominating me. Poor me!!! 

Navya:- Shehnaaz, leave everything and have your breakfast. 

Shehnaaz nods happily, but before her first bite, they are disturbed by a watchman who comes inside running. 

Watchman:- ( to Vihan ) Sir… sir… Shanti Aunty is coming. 

Hearing her name, the morsel from Shehnaaz’s hand slipped whereas Pihu looked at her Bui with wide eyes while Vihan froze in his previous position. 

Pihu:- ( scaredly ) Please god!… save me… I don’t want to face her early in the morning. 

Vihan:- ( hissed angrily ) Shehnaaz… Aab kya kar diya tumne? ( Now what have you done? ) 

Shehnaaz:- ( biting her nails nervously ) I am also thinking the same. 

Pihu:- Bui, now, what should we do? 

Shehnaaz:- ( gulps hard ) Follow plan no. 180. 

Pihu:- Ok! Plan no. 180…….. ( confusingly ) But what is that? 

Shehnaaz:- Uff… stupid! That means……Run and save your ears from noise pollution. 

Next second Shehnaaz and Pihu both are on their toes to run. 

Vihan:- ( yelled ) You guys can’t run like that. I am not going to hear her lecture alone.
