Jeete Hai Chal

Chapter 16

Shehnaaz looked at Sidharth with welled up eyes..
Sidharth closed his eyes in disappointment..
He couldn't look at her in her eyes so he moved his face in other direction.

Shehnaaz cupped his face with her small palms and tried making him look at her.. but Sidharth did not budge.. he kept looking at the other side.

Shehnaaz sighed and pleaded

Shehnaaz: bebu?

She called him with all her love.. the love which couldn't let Sidharth keep his eyes away from her.
He looked at her.. and all his attitude melted and he sighed.
Shehnaaz joined their foreheads and whispered

Shehnaaz: kaise hua yeh?

Sidharth: you know my work Naaz..

Shehnaaz straightened and spoke

Shehnaaz: I asked kaise hua yeh Sidharth?

Sidharth understood what she wanted to know.. she wanted to know what exactly happened there.. and he cannot hide it from her anymore

Sidharth: had a mole in my gang.. unexpected attack.. counter attack.. and all..

Shehnaaz sighed.. she kept tracing the scars on his torso with her fingers.

Shehnaaz: is that all Sidharth?

Sidharth nodded in no.. she nodded her head and urged him to continue

Sidharth: they want something which I have

Shehnaaz raised a brow

Shehnaaz: and that is?

Sidharth's jaw clenched.. his hold on her tightened.

Sidharth: You!

He said with gritted teeth.. Shehnaaz gasped.

Shehnaaz: why me?

She asked in surprise.. till date no one had the audacity to come till her.. she was his Queen and the entire mafia world knows that.
This is the first time that someone has tried to go against Sidharth Shukla.
And seeing the scars on his body it was clear that that someone is not a nobody..

Sidharth looked at her and spoke

Sidharth: they want to target you to get to me.. sabko King banna hai..

He scoffed.

Shehnaaz: no one can be you.. and mujhe kuch nahi hone dega tu.. I know that.

Sidharth's heart swelled seeing the trust she has on him.

He cupped her face and kissed her forehead.

Shehnaaz: why didn't you tell me waha kya hua?

Sidharth smiled at her sheepishly and spoke

Sidharth: I have so many scars on my body.. I thought tu notice nahi karegi

Shehnaaz gave him a look which screamed "really?"!!!!!!

Shehnaaz: seriously Sidharth? Mai notice nahi karungi? I can even point out konse naye hai.. you wanna do that? Jaise you know all the scars on my body even I know which are there on yours!

Listening to this Sidharth smirked

Sidharth: you only have 3 scars on your entire body my love..

Shehnaaz's eyes widened on it.. of course he knew!

Sidharth: I even know the stories behind them..

Saying he chuckled and took her left hand in his.
Then he held the index finger and kept rubbing it with his thumb pad
It had a small stitch mark on it.
