Chapter 5 - Homecoming

O sudh-budh khoyi hai khoyi maine
Haan jaan gawaayi, gawaayi maine
Haan tujhko basaya hai dhadkan mein
Saanware... Saanware...
Tose naina jab se mile
Tose naina jab se mile
Ban gaye silsile...

"Sana, tum sach mein bahut achi gaati ho," Neetu said as all clapped for her.

"Really Sana Aunty, you should sing more originals," Siddhart's niece Piya chipped in.

"Main ne kitni baar kaha hai iss moti ko, ke 2 chaar gaane record kar ke release kar do, lekin iss ki toh focus pata nahi kahan hai," Siddhart said, tapping her head playfully.

"Abe kyun maaraa? Aur waise bhi mera yeh hai ke jab koyi bhi naaya gaana release karoon toh super duper hit hona chahiye. Peechle waale se bhi zyaada. Aur teko tension lene ki koyi zaroorat nahi hai. Cast toh main teko hi karoongi," Shehnaaz replied.

"Oye, yeh kitni badi flipper hai. Yaar bachpan se kehti aayi hai bhai Shabaaz meri videos mein tu hi male lead play karega. Siddhart kya aaya usne toh party hi badal di," Shabaaz complained cutely which earned a round of laughter from everyone present in the living room.

Siddhart had returned home that morning itself to be greeted by his two sisters Neetu and Preeti and niece Piya. His brothers in law couldn't make it in such short notice because of work. They were all seated in the living room area of Siddhart's apartment. He was lying on his mother's lap while she gently caressed his head in circular motions. Shehnaaz and Piya were seated just in front of him on the floor while the others occupied a sofa each. Being a fan of Shehnaaz's singing, Piya had been insisting for her to sing few lines, which she couldn't refuse. Bachi ka dil tor nahi sakti thi.

She purposedly chose that song. How can some songs, conveniently, convey one's feelings, she used to think often, especially as she would watch fan made videos of Siddhart and herself. This song also was one such song. Whenever Siddhart is around her, she loses her senses. Such is his effect on her.  At times, she simply doesn't understand what to do. He is the only person around whom she fumbles. Pyaar toh woh mujhe karta hai kaddu. She knew he loved her. Lekin pata nahi kab khulke kahega. Kuch bolta hi nahi. Pata nahi kyun, she often pondered. Maybe that's his way of loving her, she always reassured herself.

"Waise, Shehnaaz gaana kis ke liye gaa rahi thi?," Preeti teased her. They were all aware of her feelings for him. She had always been open and vocal about her feelings. Be it in Bigg Boss House or outside. Usko na haters ki pari thi, na media ki. Wasn't it few weeks back only on the sets of Dance Deewane where she told Madhuri about her likes? Ladka? Mere liye ? Mujhe acha lagta hai yeh, she had proclaimed gesturing towards him which earned her a slight blush from him. She could feel the heat from his cheeks. Did she care? Obviously not, sach hi toh kahi thi maine. Ladka toh Siddhart Shukla jaisa hi chahiye. Siddhart Shukla jaisa kya, Siddhart Shukla hi chahiye. That's it. Baat khatam.

"Apne Sensible Asim ke liye gaayi hogi," Siddhart was quick to reply earning a deadly glare from Shehnaaz.

"Oh sorry sorry, main bhool gaya, apni Maasi ya Abra ka Dabra Paras Chabra ke liye gayi hogi," he added faking an apology.

"Siddhart, shukar mana tu theek nahi hai, warna aaj teko peet-ti zaroor main," she said irritatingly.

"Beta, kyun chedta rehta hai usko bina wajah?" Rita Aunty came to her rescue.

"Aunty, aap na samjhaiye apne bete ko. Jaan boojh ke aisa karta jaan boojh ke. Usko pata hai main hurt ho jaati hoon iss ki aisi bakwaas baaton se, phir bhi karta rehta hai apni bakwaas," she complained.

"Mama, kyun karte ho aap aisa," Piya brought her support to her as his sisters glared at him.

"Yeh acha hai. Sab ki favorite yeh bani huwi hai." Siddhart said. "Kya baat hai Kya baat hai kya baat hai, sahi hai."

Shehnaaz just shrugged at him. Kitna kamina hai yeh.

"Aunty, main jaa rahi hoon upar, apni apartment mein. Goodnight. Shahbaaz chalega ki nahi."

"Haan haan. Ok goodnight sab log," Shahbaaz said quickly and followed Shehnaaz not wanting to bear her wrath. He knew she was in a bad mood.

"Oye moti rukh," Siddhart threw a cushion at her. "Kahan ja raahi hi. Tu ne kaha tha aaj yehi rahegi na, mera khayal rakhne ke liye" he further teased her.

"Galti se kahi thi. Aarti ko phone kar le. Der nahi lagegi usko yahan aane mein. Poori raat teri seva karegi. Aunty ko shikayat karne ka ek bhi mauka nahi degi," she retorted and stomped out bidding goodnight to all.

"Chalo, ab donon ki daily routine shuru," Rita Aunty said with a laugh. Her daughters joined her as well while Siddhart rolled his eyes. They knew well what was about to come. Shehnaaz ruth gayi hai toh Siddhart ko manana toh parega. After all, Siddhart ko toh Shehnaaz ke hurt hone se darr lagta hai. Bigg Boss days were enough proofs of this. After a while, they all bid him goodnight before moving to the lower floor, to Rita Aunty's apartment.

*******

Shehnaaz decided it was better to switch off her phone after receiving nearly 20 missed calls from Siddhart. Iss baar toh nahi manoongi, she decided firmly although she was fully aware, one word form him and she would be all flat again. Aisa kya hain usme, she groaned inwardly. Sana tu gussa hai usse. Kamina, kutta, selfish, she cursed him.

"Oye Sana, yeh le baat kar," Shabaaz barged in her room. She knew he was talking to their mother some time back, so without thinking twice, she grabbed the phone from him. "Haan Amma"

"Amma ki bachi, phone kyun ban kardi apni," Siddhart barked from the other side. Shehbaaz ki toh main, she turned around to curse him but realised he was long gone.

"Oye Shehnaaz, tumse baat kar raha hoon. Parth par rahi ho kya ??? Chup kyun ho ?"

"Siddhart mat kar, meko nahi baat karni terese, tu hurt karta hai," she said and he knew he was on the verge of sobbing.

"Yaar Sana, drama band kar aur yahan aa," he ordered.

"Yaar nahi aana hai mujhe, phone rakh,"

"Sana, ya toh tu chup chap kar ke yahan chali aa ya main aajoonga upar," he made an attempt at threatening and knew he succeeded when he heard her reply.

"Tu theek nahi hai. Upar aane ki zaroorat nahi, main khud aati hoon," she conceded.

"Spare key abhi bhi tere paas hai na?"
"hmmm"
"5 min mein nahi aayi na yahan, main sach mein aajaaoonga upar. Chal ab phone rakh," he said before hanging up.

Ammmmaaa!!! Kaisa insaan hain yeh, she complained while she got off her bed and made her way downstairs to his apartment.
