Forever Yours

Chapter Sixty Eight

"Oi.. What's happening there?" Sidharth tapped her shoulder, causing her to look back at him with a small pout. Sidharth pecked her lips, causing her to giggle.

"Hey.."

"We're in Kashmir.."

Shehnaaz shook her head, fondly. "The place oozes romance. I know.. I might never want to leave."

Sidharth smiled. "We'll come back. I'll plan another vacation. Promise."

"You're too adorable." Shehnaaz said softly, kissing his lower jaw.

"What was troubling you?"

Shehnaaz sighed. "I can't get the head or tail of this saree. I started fine, but then I kind of lost track of what I was doing only five minutes later."

Sidharth laughed softly. "Give that to me, I'll help you."

"You know how to drape a saree?" Shehnaaz asked, surprised.

Sidharth shrugged. "I've worked as a model, long long enough. I had to help some models, once in a while."

"You helped.. okay. That's brand new information." She said, her voice shaky with the unexpected surprise.

Sidharth bent to his knees, tucking the folds of the saree in. "Is that a problem?"

"Does it still happen?"

"No. I'm only your dress assistant now. No one else's." Sidharth grinned. Shehnaaz pouted. "I hate you!"

Sidharth sighed. "No you don't."

"Yes I do."

Sidharth shook his head. "No you don't."

"Yes I do." Shehnaaz stated, stubbornly.

Sidharth laughed softly, jumping back on his feet. He pressed his forehead against hers, "No.. No you don't."

Shehnaaz sighed. "Tu kitna perfect hai baby."

"You deserve nothing less." Sidharth said quietly.

"That. Was. Exhausting."

Sidharth smiled, opened his arms for her and Shehnaaz snuggled into him as they drove back from the hotel. "Tu theek hai?"

Shehnaaz nodded. Sidharth kissed her head.

"The reception told the team that they have gifts from our fans." Sidharth said softly. "The hotel will arrange to send it tomorrow, to our residence."

Shehnaaz hmm-ed. "Tu yeh interactions pehle bhi karta tha?" Shehnaaz asked curiously.

Sidharth shrugged. "Kabhi-kabhi. The fans are blessings sometimes, but sometimes it gets out of hand. They begin to expect a lot from their idols."

"What do you mean?"

"We're already expected to act a certain way, always be okay with interacting with complete strangers, because they're our fans. It's a gift. It is, but we're human and we can't please everyone all the time. We make mistakes, do things that may offend someone and it's okay. Everyone doesn't think quite like that." Sidharth explained.
