Yet Another Strange Marriage 2 ✅

Chapter 25

Sidharth places unconcious Shehnaaz in his back seat and closes the door when Rudhra puts his arms around his neck and captures him. Sidharth was feeling strangulated, he tries to pull his hands with all his strength but Rudhra was a trained officer who was as huge as Sidharth. It wasn't easy to escape his grip.

Sidharth remembers Shehnaaz's elbow strike that he received when she mistook his sudden back embrace to threat. He gives him an elbow strike on his stomach and Rudhra leaves him. Sidharth turns around to look at him when Rudhra punches him on his nose which causes him to bleed. Sidharth holds his hurting nose.

Sidharth: Rudhra bhaiyya, hold on, it's me. Sidharth! (Shows palm)

Rudhra who was ready to punch him, stops midway as Sidharth pulls out the beard.

Rudhra: Jijaji?

Sidharth: Ji!! Your Jijaji!!

Rudhra pulls out a hanky and gives him to stop the blood flow.

Rudhra: I am sorry but what are you doing here? What's with this disguise?

Sidharth: (wipes the blood with hanky) Taking my wife home. If I hadn't entered the operation theatre then that fellow would have harmed her. Is this the way you protect your sister? What if that fellow had to take out her organ?

Rudhra: They started the procedure suddenly, we expected them to wait until we approached him with money. Wait a minute, how do you know about all this? Are you spying us?

Sidharth: Aaa... Aaaa..
Oh God! I made a blunder. He will fire Shehnaaz now. She will be mad on me. What do I tell him now?

Sidharth: Yes, I was spying on her. I followed her and.. and disguised to find out what was she upto? What is all this? Who are you? Are you a cop? Why did she risk her life?

Rudhra: Hmm... Aaaa...
He knows only half the story. I can't let out the whole secret to him. But what do I answer him now?

Rudhra: Aaa.. That Dhansukh is my friend. He is a cop. I met him when I was in jail and he asked me to become his aide and do good deed towards our nation. He needed a lady for his mission. Someone who is trustworthy, brave and who could take risk to help him catch the culprit behind this scandal. I could only think of Shehnaaz since she is the bravest girl I ever know.

Sidharth: She isn't just your sister now. She is my wife and Mathur house's daughter in law. How could you decide to risk my wife's life?

Saala, he is still acting not knowing that I already know everything. I am so happy that I fooled him today. Though he made a bigger fool out of me but I have to accept that I'm blessed to be fooled by him. I wouldn't have got to marry her and would have married that Ginni instead!    

Rudhra: Aaa.. Hmmmm.. sorry Jijaji..

Shehnaaz gains consciousness and finds herself in a car. She looks outside and finds Sidharth talking to Rudhra. She panics looking at the blood stain on Sidharth's nose. She opens the door and goes near him.

Shehnaaz: Sidharth, what happened? How did you get this blood stain?

Sidharth and Rudhra both got scared looking at her.

Sidharth - Oh God! What if she blurts out that I know everything about their secret mission and identities?

Rudhra - Oh no! She doesn't know the story I cooked up to save our identities and mission. She might give him the clue of our identity.

Shehnaaz - Bhaiyya must have punched him and by now Sidharth might have told him that I told him everything about our mission and our real identity. Bhaiyya will fire me now. Sidharth, what was the need of coming in front?

Sidharth: Forget it Shehnaaz. Your bhaiyya thought that I was kidnapping you. And what's all this? You are helping cops by risking your life just because your bhaiyya asked you to help them?

Rudhra: I already said sorry to Jijaji. Shehnaaz, I told him that I am Officer Dhanshuk's friend and his secret aide and that I was helping them in their mission to expose the organ racketeering. It isn't a secret anymore. He knows that you got ready to help the cops on my insistence.

Shehnaaz was confused
Does it mean that Sidharth hasn't disclosed him about everything? I think I better not open my mouth without knowing the background.

They all change back to their normal get up. By now the media arrived and starts interviewing to know what exactly happened. The trio escapes and go to their respective home. On the way Sidharth narrates the whole incident and Shehnaaz informs him how Akhilesh is helping the criminals to escape.

When Sidharth and Shehnaaz reach home, they find Akhilesh strolling to and fro in the veranda. They stop and exchange a look.

Akhilesh: You both went out separately citing different reasons. What we're y'all doing at JK hospital? I saw your image behind the news reporter on a news channel.

Shehnaaz: Huh?

Sidharth: Actually, Babuji we went to get her check-up done. We are expecting a baby.

Akhilesh and Shehnaaz: What? Baby? (Shocked)

Sidharth presses Shehnaaz's hand to keep quiet.

Akhilesh: When did this happen? Aa.. I mean Congratulations. Aa.. but why didn't you inform us first?

Sidharth: Congratulations to you too Babuji. We got it confirmed today itself.

Akhilesh: Okay. Go inside and sleep, it's very late.

Sidharth: Okay Babuji. Come slowly Shehnaaz. Be careful of the stairs and hold my hands.

Shehnaaz stares at him with a frown and he smiles. They both go to their room. Akhilesh's sleep was gone for a toss.

Shehnaaz: What the hell was that? I am not pregnant.

Sidharth: Ssshhh.. (whispers) this isn't the place to discuss it so loudly. Didn't you see how I destroyed Babuji's doubt and questioning spree?

Shehnaaz: (low tone) But you just declared that I am pregnant infront of him. How do we hide this when I am not?

Sidharth: See, firstly, from now on, he won't ask us to stay away because it's of no use. Next is, we won't have to try to hide it, if we implement it now, then you can still say it's premature birth. How would they know?

Shehnaaz: What? Are you gone nuts? Is it so easy like ordering lingerie from online? That also you did a blunder the other day by getting it mixed up.

Sidharth: Shehnaaz, it's okay! I know you will not drag it for so long. He will be behind the bars before he learns that you aren't pregnant.

Shehnaaz looks at him with pity. She knew how difficult it is for a son to say that his own father needs to be behind the bars. She hugged him.

Shehnaaz: I am sorry!

Sidharth: Don't be. I came to know how painful it would be to lose someone you love today at the hospital. You lost your parents because of him and I felt disgusted when I learnt that my father supported those criminals from JK hospital in their ill deeds. How many people must have suffered by losing their organs, babies, money etc. I am with you in this. I will support you to get him punished.

Shehnaaz: Why are you so good? You've trusted me and I will not break it. I will prove him guilty with all the evidences.

There was an absolute silence between the two when Sidharth thinks of lightening the mood.

Sidharth: Hmmmm.. how about keeping a backup plan in place though? I mean, if you don't get him arrested so quickly then you still need to show you are carrying right? Come on let's get on to implement plan B.

Shehnaaz: Shut up!! (She hits him on his chest playfully and they both laugh)
