Only If She Knew✔️

chapter : 24

At 1: 00 am Sidharth came back and opened door of thier room slowly because he don't want to disturb Shehnaaz. He is hurt that she gave her surrogacy photos to him a her belongings are with him before marriage. He noticed bed she was not there, he then checked bathroom in fear that she is awake but she was not there too.

"Hope she didn't left me", Sidharth thought and went to terrace with slow steps without making and noticed his father standing there

"Dad you are awake?",he asked to which Ashok nodded

"Sheh... Shehnaaz. Where is she? She is not in room... Did you saw her going out or anywhere else?",he asked from Ashok who chuckled hearing him. He didn't thought his son will panick this much

"Why are you quiet? Is she safe? Tell me dad", Sidharth asked. His heart started beating fast because of fear. Ashok came and hugged him to calm his son who was going to loose his control over himself

"She is with your mother son. Don't worry. But tell me do you behave like this everytime? I mean you used to come home late when you were not in India?", asked Ashok. Sidharth took a long breath to calm himself and broke the hug. He was thinking to search Shehnaaz in her house is Ashok kept quiet for long. He sighed in relief after hearing about Shehnaaz

"Yes as initially I hated being alone dad but with time I started loving it. There I used to stay alone most of the time", Sidharth replied genuinely. He don't want to talk about his side with him but he hated staying alone there. His parents used to stay in India which affected him as he craved for love that time.

"Change this habit son . You have your wife now", Ashok said

"Sure dad. I was just busy today otherwise I promise I will never come late if not important", Sidharth said and looked down with slight tears

"But dad don't take me wrong", Sidharth requested. He is hurt that everytime whenever he try doing good, people put blame on him. He always tried his best to prove himself best in front of Shehnaaz father but her father never liked him. He tried his best to prove his love to Shehnaaz but she didn't believed him that he was right.

"I am not blaming you putt. If I wanted to blame you then I would have slapped you for coming late . And I would not have given you a chance to speak. I was just telling you if you both are having any problem or if you are busy, just inform her or work from home. Shehnaaz was tensed today, I felt like she is very sad today", Ashok told the reason why he asked Sidharth about his timing

"I feel so happy to see you both loving her. Regarding her mood so... It's upto her if she want to tell but she is really hurt dad. In morning I have to leave early but don't let her come in office", Sidharth informed. The meeting which was going to be held 2 days later is preponed in morning. Reason is him himself because he worked without any break to divert himself and result was this. He completed 2 days work within few hours. He can't even deny because he worked hard for it

"Ok but inform her from your side too son. It's your duty", said Ashok

"Sure. I will after charging this dead phone", Sidharth said and walked towards his parent's room with Ashok. He noticed Shehnaaz sleeping while hugging his mother

"I will sleep with you so I am going. Come soon", Ashok said and left from there. Sidharth was about to write a chit but one thought about his parent's reading that chit stopped him. He know she has went through a lot and will definitely try his best to give her happiness but he is not yet happy. He kissed her forehead and left from there. He put his mobile phone on charging and slept with his father after checking if his phone is charging or not?

In morning

Shehnaaz woke up and found bed empty. She sat on bed with jerk and realised that she was sleeping on Rita's room and she is married now. Her eyes started getting watery remembering everything which happened yesterday, she is in pool of regret for hurting Sidharth. She picked her mobile phone and ran from there in thier room but found none. She noticed Ashok outside and asked him if he know where is Sidharth to which he denied

"Huff he is avoiding me", Shehnaaz thought and walked towards kitchen to help Rita as already she is late

"Go and freshen up", said Rita and kissed Shehnaaz forehead. Shehnaaz smiled and left from there nodding. She noticed her mobile phone ringing with Sidharth's number, she picked it up but Sidharth declined call immediately and messaged pooped in her screen

Shehnaaz read his message and smiled dropped from her face. She thought she will manofy in morning but he is not here. She replied with thik hai and came downstairs after changing

"A.. are you going somewhere?", Asked Ashok

"Ji papa ji. In office", Shehnaaz replied

"Stay here today with us. We can enjoy", said Ashok trying to ask Shehnaaz to stay here indirectly

"Not without him", Shehnaaz said and passed a smile towards him because of his concern

"Moreover I have one other important work too dad. I need to meet someone", Shehnaaz said and stand up after having breakfast.

"That work Is more important than anything papa. Ask your son to come home then I will too", Shehnaaz said and ran from there hurriedly. Ashok tried asking her to stay by getting emotional but Shehnaaz didn't heard anything. He understood maybe she is having another important work. Moreover he don't want her to stay away from him.

Shehnaaz was going to meet Veer when she noticed chocolate shop and stopped her car . She purchased Sidharth's favourite chocolate for him as it will help her to manofy him. She asked shopkeeper to pack those chocolates and parked her car near Veer house. She knocked on door , Veer opened door after a minute and asked Shehnaaz to come inside

"These are your belongings which are not my right now", said Veer and gave her one album as well as few photos of her surrogacy. He was having her watch and bangles which Rita gifted.

Shehnaaz smiled because her father asked her to destroy everything related with Sidharth but she couldn't destroy his memories. Yes she destroyed few but those which were most special, she gave them to Veer to keep them safe. She could not keep them in her house because Parminder used to get angry. He forced her to end everything with Sidharth but her heart never allowed her to

"I'm sorry Veer. Please forgive me for marrying Sidharth. I'm really sorry", Shehnaaz apologized while looking down.

"Don't worry Shehnaaz. I understand.. I was never your choice. Keep these with you know. I am sure he will be happy to see you saved these", Veer said looking in her eyes with tears. Yes , he saved Sidharth memories with him but that time he was not that hurt like he is now. He loved Shehnaaz so much and was excited for their future which is ruined now. He felt himself used but couldn't ask Shehnaaz as he know even Shehnaaz is innocent

"Thank you. You are best. Don't break our friendship okay?", Shehnaaz asked to which he said never. Shehnaaz hugged him and noticed Sidharth coming inside angrily

"What are you doing here Shehnaaz? And why you hugged him?", Asked Sidharth angrily clenching his hand in a fist to control his anger. He don't want to do something which he will regret later but he hated Shehnaaz hugging him. He thought to follow follow Shehnaaz when he noticed her going out.
