Only If She Knew✔️

chapter: 17

"Wait dumb? Do you think I am dumb ? I am boss in my office Shehnaaz",he shouted in shock. Shehnaaz rolled her eyes at his drama. He himself behaves like a dumb man and now thinking that she will praise him.

"For me you are", Shehnaaz rebuked. Sidharth sighed and surrendered himself

"I think yes as I have lost most of things. I miss old days. Like how we used to enjoy without any responsibility. But see now , we have everything but not enjoyment", Sidharth said. Shehnaaz nodded and sat beside him. She herself miss old days as those were pure bliss, studing without anyone judging her was best part wheras now she thinks that everyone will judge her and her character if she will study

"If you need any help ping me. Shehnaaz I am really honest I really loved you from start till now. I have nobody in my life please give me a chance to prove myself. Please one last chance to prove myself innocent. I don't want you to act in office that was trick to keep you there. But now my mind changed and I want us to stay in this bond forever. Can't you see that in my eyes?", Sidharth asked and tucked her hair strand aside. Shehnaaz nodded and kissed his forehead softly. His eyes were showing pure love and honesty. How can she reject him? She knew him and is want to give him chance with her heart

But she is scared of result. What if in end he turned to be wrong? If her father is wrong then how she will react? What if whatever Sidharth said if right? She is in dilemma one side it's her father who loved her from childhood and one side that person who turned her life upside-down. That guy who showed her true meaning of love. To whom she lost her heart.  Watching him her heart skips it's beat.

"Sidharth...  Papa can't be wrong.  I think there is a big misunderstanding then... Whom to trust ? Tell me", Shehnaaz asked him softly. Sidharth smiled at her innocence and her question. Her reaction is totally normal as she have blind trust on her father. He need to break it but is scared as it will break her

"If you are wrong I will hurt and will be more hurt if you will make fun of this marriage by leaving me alone again... You don't know how much I waited for you. I thought you will come for our child but you didn't. A women need her husband support during pregnancy and you were not present for even a day. Whenever I think of giving you a chance I.. remember those days when I tried calling you and contacting you but you never picked any... I was behaved like I was a criminal because I was pregnant before marriage and heard taunts that a good guy will never marry such a girl", Shehnaaz told and wiped her fresh tears which came when she remembered those memories again. Those memories haunt her everyday and especially her lost child. Sidharth rubbed her back softly and tightened his hold on her to assure her he is with her

"I was forced but now I will never leave you . not even in buisness trips because you will come with me. I will make sure to be present everyday next time", Sidharth said in soft voice

" When you get to know about my pregnancy?", Shehnaaz asked

"Few days ago. I was really unaware that I lost my child. If I knew then I would have cancelled tickets.. I lost right to be a father.. I lost my first baby",he said. Shehnaaz looked at him and his eyes which showed guilt. She started to believe him and want to believe him till end but don't know if she will be able to or not. Whenever she think about past her mind ask her to stay away fro him, her mind ask her to give him same pain which she went through

"But... I heard that you said you can't accept illegitimate child that is the reason you...", Shehnaaz said when Sidharth interrupted her in middle

"I never did I swear upon my mom Shehnaaz I never. I can never run from my responsibilities. We were going to marry already right then how can you think like that? We were engaged", Sidharth said

"Fine", said Shehnaaz

"I really want to see you as mother of my child. I was a fool who thought he will let me marry you happily. I was Idiot", shouted Sidharth

"Who?", asked Shehnaaz

"Your father",he said

"Don't blame him Sidharth. Even he is innocent. Even he is being trapped I think", Shehnaaz said

"I leave that decision upon you but I can guarantee you will regret badly Shehnaaz",he said and layed on bed. Shehnaaz sighed and turned lights off. She thought he will belive her that her father is innocent but he didn't which hurt her. She can never doubt her father who was with her from childhood. She layed beside Sidharth and started thinking about result

What if her father is real culprit? What if Sidharth was actually innocent?

"No there is some misunderstanding... I will find out who is real mastermind but... His eyes speak innocence, everytime whenever he is in front of me he is nice.. he is changed but not totally", Shehnaaz thought. Her mind is having second thoughts about Sidharth and her father as well but she is more scared to think of her father as culprit than Sidharth

"Take rest Shehnaaz", Sidharth said

"I am not sleepy. I can't get peace till I inform my father about our marriage. I want to go there", Shehnaaz said. Sidharth nodded and sat near her as she was lying

"We will but as life partners okay? Tomorrow we will announce our marriage as well", Sidharth said with a smile

"Announce? What is the need to announce when you married secretly?", Shehnaaz asked

"I never said I want to keep our marriage as a secret. I want people to know that you are married now and even I am", Sidharth said hiding his hurt . He is hurt from her as she blindly trust her father, he can understand anyone will belive thier parents but he is scared more now to prove himself right. He can clearly guess the outcome because of her conversation, neither can't let her break but nor he can show her half truth

"After tomorrow you are going to continue studies by managing job and college both . As you aren't allowed to leave job", Sidharth said. Shehnaaz glared him knowing why he is asking her not to leave job. It is for his benifit only otherwise how can someone continue 8 hour job with college?

"Sidharth I can't continue college I can't face people again. Especially that insult. I will learn everything from books", Shehnaaz said to which he shooked his head

"Don't worry no-one will say anything. Just continue chasing your dream", Sidharth said. Shehnaaz looked aside as she don't want to deny. She want to study but she is not ready to face crowd yet. She have lost confidence. She can't believe now that she is same girl who used to give speach in college without fumbling even for once.

"There you will enjoy. Make new friends and show your dedication if not for yourself then for me please", Sidharth asked in low voice thinking that Shehnaaz will agree

"Give me sometime Sidharth. I feel so awkward when I have to meet you in office then just think you are talking about college..  tomorrow I will answer you now sleep", Shehnaaz said and turned her face aside. Sidharth nodded knowing her answer which gave him hopes that someday she will stand beside him because of her hardwork.

In morning

They both were sleep snuggling with eachother when they heard shouting sling from outside

"Papa" Shehnaaz said getting up from sleep and looked at Sidharth with shocked face. She started getting nervous as she was sleeping with that man whom her father rejected
