Shaadi Yaa Barbaadi

28

Shehnaaz settled on her seat as they both were off for their road trip. It was unplanned for her but she would lie if she says she didn't wanted this. She had always manifested this moment with her husband. She has missed a lot of her life in five months and she did regret it. Although everyone behaved normal in front of her but still she knew that , her accident has left a scar on their heart. And specially in Sidharth's. He has been an awesome husband from the day they married , but now he has been the best. He has been a lot expressive than before taking care of the smallest things , from her comfort to her luxury. She remembers that he got her phone repaired even though there were nil chances for her to wake up. He prioritised her and her things so much.

She was lost in her own thoughts while Sidharth was driving. He glanced at her occasionally as he drove carefully.
They had a eye contact for a sec and shehnaaz looked away. Ofcourse she was still embarrassed from the morning incident and hence couldn't face him.

"Still shyy..come on biwi..I have planned much more than that", Sidharth spoke shamelessly making shehnaaz widen her eyes as she look away being all red

"Yaar shehnaaz...aise to I will it will take an eternity for us to become parents..", he spoke further while she just coughed. He is too much to handle.

"Acha chalo...speak something.. tell me something..I wanna listen to you" ,he spoke genuinely this time. He wants to listen her.

"Kya bolun..kuch hai hi nahi bolne layak.. It feels like my life is on hold. Subah utho.. Medicine khao.. fir so jao.. Everything just feels so blank.. I can't even do my own duties properly... I feel helpless sometimes... Even guilty for disturbing you", shehnaaz confessed. The first time she has opened up to him

"I know jaan... That's why I am taking you out... And don't worry..I am there with you at your every step.. Its my duty to help you in all your worries..", he spoke. He felt bad listening this. She too was suffering...She felt overwhelmed by his words. How can some person be so understanding.

"And I love you..", he mumbled enough for her to hear while she looked at his face which was focused on driving. She couldn't take off her eyes from his handsome face.
She didn't choose to say anything. Of course she loves him.  but still there is much more to clear between them.And she wants to start fresh.

After 3 hours of drive they stopped at a stop. It was basically a sunset point but the sun refused to come as it was all cloudy. Shehnaaz loved this season as much as she hated summers.

They got out of their car to have a break.
Getting near a dhaba , sidharth held Shehnaaz's hand in his hand in a tight grip as they approached the owner. They took tea and walked to their car , the view was better there. Sidharth made shehnaaz sit on the bonnet of the car forwarding her tea while he just stood with the support of the car..

They casually sipped on their tea when Shehnaaz cleared her throat. Sidharth shifted his attention from the hills to Shehnaaz who looked at him nervously.

"Sidharth...Is there anything else I should know about your ex..or past life", shehnaaz said nervously. Of course she feared his anger. And she did not want to ruin this moment where she felt much okay. But she needs to ask this. She can't control the urge now.
Sidharth smiled at her question. Ofcourse he wanted her to ask about this.
He stood between Shehnaaz's legs and looked in her eyes taking her hands in his.

"Agar main kisi bhi insaan ke liye feel karta hoon..to wo sirf tum ho shehnaaz. And I mean it when I say I love you. I am not expecting you to love me back suddenly.. but I just wanna tell you that only you have my heart... Whatever was there in my past , it has gone. And I don't have any relation to her. I know my outburst may have put you in a assumption that I still have something for her but.... The person I love , I wanna cherish , I wanna have kids with is only you Shehnaaz", he confessed as he kissed her hands. Shehnaaz couldn't find any better words to reply him. She could see the truthfulness. The line I wanna have kids with you Shehnaaz made her blush as well as overwhelmed.

She couldn't control herself and clinged herself to him making him chuckled as she literally jumped on him.

"I love you Sidharth.. I love you a lot.. Please don't leave me ever", she confessed as she couldn't find any better moment than this to express her feelings. He looked at her face and gave a big peck on her forehead crushing her with the hug...
After standing like that  for a while , the rain started to pour making them sit inside the car hurriedly.

Shehnaaz sneezed making Sidharth worried . He quickly took out a shawl from the back seat and made her wear it.
The drive was much more calm to them. Their hearts were now free. Sidharth could sense calmness on Shehnaaz's face , although still she didn't talk much , but atleast she is not stressed. He was relieved.

There was not much conversation between them expect for shehnaaz asking to Sidharth regarding his whereabouts when she was in coma.

After a while Sidharth looked at shehnaaz who was fast asleep on the car. He head shifted uncomfortably while he stopped the car and adjusted her seat much to her relief. She was now comfortable.

It was now afternoon when they finally reached their destination. Sidharth woke up Shehnaaz much to her dismay ,she whined and got up huffing. She was in  deep sleep....
Finally after lots of struggles , Shehnaaz got up. They checked in their hotel. It was a beautiful resort situated between the forest. Greenery everywhere , hills and a private pool.

Shehnaaz was fascinated by the view. The room also had a cozy balcony attached at one corner , and a pool on the other side. She jumped happily as she planned to swim in it , obviously she didn't know how to swim. But still she likes water.

Sidharth thumped on the bed as soon as he got rid of his shoes. He was freaking tired by the drive. He made his mind to call a jet to go back. Just for the sake of road trip he took it on himself to drive. This is the longest distance he has driven. Looking at Shehnaaz's happy face , it was all worth it for him. She jumped happily telling him that she saw a rabbit in the reception while he couldn't help but smile tiredly.

He called at the reception to ask for their lunch. It was arrived shortly in 10 minutes. He will appreciate his PA to suggest this place. It was for sure the best place to have short vacation...

After the lunch came , Sidharth asked the staff to arrange the lunch on the poolside as shehnaaz sat there admiring the view. Till then he came changed in his shorts and the same shirt. Shehnaaz made a plate for both of them and waited for him to join.

They had their lunch in a comfortable silence. After their lunch , Sidharth convinced shehnaaz to have a short nap as he was very tired. Shehnaaz being Shehnaaz agreed to do it since she can't let her husband get ill.

It was now evening and the sun had already set but the couple were still sleeping cozily. Shehnaaz had her face snuggled in Sidharth's chest while his hand rested on her waist and back as she slept over him slightly. He didn't mind the weight over him as his face looked calm while sleeping...

Shehnaaz opened her eyes and noticed all darkness except for the lights beside the pool on. She got up rubbing her eyes as she looked at Sidharth's face who was still sleeping.

"Sidharthhhh", shehnaaz called out to him. It was 8 p.m. and they slept for straight 4 hours.

"Hmm", he hummed still in sleep

"Uth jao..raat ho gayi hai", she nudged him on his shoulder but he just pulled her in his arms.

"Subah uthenge", he tried to tease her but she slapped on his chest making him chuckle lightly.

After lots of convincing Sidharth woke up finally and they called for their dinner. Shehnaaz had already ordered him to have fun in the pool after their dinner and sidharth couldn't do anything but just to agree to whatever she ordered.
He knew it will be a long night.
