47. LITTLE MOMENTS…

In India, Arjun is happy as he is going to meet his sister but at the same time, he is scared and nervous too. He is nervous because Shehnaaz doesn’t know anything that happened to her in childhood and above all, he fears that she will accept him as her brother or not. After concluding everything, he comes to the conclusion that no one will tell her about the past and the truth that she is Dixit’s daughter. This has two reasons. First, Shehnaaz is a quiet introvert. She didn’t gel up with anyone soon that’s why he wants to give her enough time to gel with others. 

And the second one is, that he wants to develop a strong bond between her and himself without telling her about her blood relations. In short, he didn’t want to burden her with all these relations. 

Arjun’s idea comes like a blessing for Innaya as she has enough time to execute her plan to separate Shehnaaz from Dixits and to win Sidharth back with the help of Varsha. 

Yes, Malhotra’s are also going with them to California to meet Sidharth and Shehnaaz. They all were excited to meet their new daughter-in-law except Varsha who is totally controlled by Innaya.  

Vishember is guilty of what he did with Sidharth and he wants to apologize for the same. He wants to bring him and Shehnaaz back. He knows that this is not going to be easy to win Sidharth back again as he is somewhere like him, with a stubborn head. He is also concerned for Sidharth and Shehnaaz as Innaya is also coming with them. Now, he is aware of Innaya’s true colors but still, he chose to stay quiet because he didn’t want to ruin this happy moment of Arjun’s. 

Dixit’s and Malhotra’s boarded the flight to California and they all will land at their destination tomorrow afternoon. Arjun already called Cabir who informed him that Sidharth gifted a new house to Shehnaaz as her wedding gift. He took the address from him with a promise that he would not tell anyone about this to anyone, not even Navya. 

Arjun is so happy seeing her sister getting so much love and respect from her husband. He knows that Sidharth is a gem of a person and today he proved that. He proved that no one can love Shehnaaz the way he does. He is relaxed and wishes for a happy married life. 

On the other hand, Innaya boiled in the pool of jealousy hearing that Sidharth gifted a new house to his dear wife. 

Innaya:- ( to Varsha ) See maa, I told you right that….. Shehnaaz is behind Sidharth’s money. Now you see yourself, she asks for a house as a wedding gift from him. I know her type of girl, soon she will throw him out of her life after getting his everything from the house to the company. 

She is trying to instigate Varsha against Shehnaaz who is undoubtedly getting influenced by her. Varsha is so much into her that she is not ready to witness Innaya’s negative character. 

On the other side of the world, the two love birds are disturbed by Cabir who happens to be their friend. 

Sidharth:- ( groaned ) CABIR………..  

Cabir:- ( politely ) yes….. My brother. 

Hearing Cabir’s voice Shehnaaz immediately pushed Sidharth back whose head banged with the car’s roof. 

Sidharth:- ( wince in pain ) ahh…… Shehnaaz, are you mad? 

Shehnaaz apologizes and rubs his head to soothe his pain, making him happy. Seeing his smile, Shehnaaz scolds him. 

Shehnaaz:- Sidharth….. Stop smiling and go out. What will Cabir think of us?

Sidharth:- What will he think is not the question Shehnaaz….. He already made a judgment about us and unfortunately, that was true. 

Not giving him a chance to continue, she pushed him out, making him annoyed. Outside, Cabir smirks seeing Sidharth’s disheveled and open shirt. 

Cabir:- oh…oh… Desperate? 

Sidharth:- ( frustratingly ) yes!….. I am desperate. So, what? She is my wife, I am her husband. We both are madly in love and want to get intimate…… so, what? Why are you getting jealous? 

Inside the car, Shehnaaz heard everything and palmed her face murmuring “I send him to tackle Cabir so that he won’t tease us. But look at him….. What is he doing?”. But her eyes widened more upon hearing Sidharth’s further comment. 

Sidharth:- you had Kaira…… so, let us make one for ourselves too, peacefully. 

Shehnaaz heard him and blushed to the next extent. She is getting shy with the mere thought of their baby. Her blush is getting darker and darker, imagining herself carrying Sidharth’s blood in her womb. 

Outside, Cabir looks at him while making a bad face because his chance to tease them is lost as Sidharth confesses everything boldly. 

Cabir:- Sidharth, you are such a spoilsport. 

Sidharth is already irritated and his words are adding fuel to it. Above all his wife threw him out only because of him or else he would be in heaven till now. He shoots daggers at him making him scared. 

Cabir:- Bhai, look down your eyes are scaring me. 

Sidharth:- really? 

Now, it’s Sidharth’s turn to smirk, and after that, he punches him with enough force that makes him wince. Cabir immediately ran inside to save himself from more punches. 

As soon as Cabir ran inside, Shehnaaz came out and took the passenger seat while Sidharth settled down in the driver’s seat. 

Shehnaaz:- Are you angry? 

She asked, seeing Sidharth’s balloon-like face, who didn’t reply and started driving. 

Shehnaaz:- are you going to be angry when we are riding to our office for the first time in our new car on the first day of our marriage? 

Sidharth:- ( with a poker face hiding his smile ) Yes, I am angry but you can make it up for me. 

Shehnaaz pouts and places her head on his left shoulder kissing his cheek.

Shehnaaz:- Is this work? 

Sidharth:- ( with a smile ) You can do better than this. 

With a cute pout, Shehnaaz smiled and snuggled in his neck making him lose his senses because of her breath which was falling on his neck. Sidharth releases his breath feeling content having her this close to himself. Out of nowhere, he says. 

Sidharth:- you are my everything, Shehnaaz……….. Don’t ever leave me no matter what the situation is. I may get impulsive sometimes but be with me to make me realize where I went wrong. I may not show but I don’t…t……. ( gulping his emotions ) I don’t know how to breathe without you. 

Seeing the seriousness in his tone, Shehnaaz moves back to have a clear look at his face and intertwines their hands. She can read the insecurities in his eyes. 

Shehnaaz:- I am not going anywhere, Sidharth. I don’t have anyone except you who can love me as you do. I can do anything for you but I am selfish when it comes to you. I can’t share you with anyone. ( trying to change the atmosphere ) If you ask me to leave you…. Then, I am sorry because I will not leave you as I am hell-selfish in your matter. 

Hearing her words, Sidharth immediately looks at her and replies without a second thought. 

Sidharth:- I will never ask you to leave me…… remember that. 

Saying that he kissed her hand which was intertwined with his and throughout the journey, no one pulled their hand back.
