One Sided Love??? ~ SidNaaz FF (COMPLETED)

Part 7: Breakup or Patchup?

Sidharth ran a hand in his hair frustrated with lack of concentration he was having in the photoshoot.. Just as he walked inside the vanity Kaushal called him..
"Sidharth you better have a valid reason for that statement to be out" Kaushal questioned him again..
"Arre maine nahi bola aisa kuchh.. she came up with the statement, i had no idea about this.." Sidharth informed him
"Haan ab social media pe bavaal mach gaya hai.. kuch soch lo aage kya karna hai.. and inform me.."
As Sidharth cut the call his manager called him..
"Sidharth i am getting too many calls from the press.. kya karein?"
Sidharth rubbed his eyes tiredly... "Keep everyone on hold.. kuchh mat bolna i will inform something.."

2 hours later:
"Oyye Shehnaaz.. tere phone ko kya hua??" Shehbaaz questioned Sana walking inside her room
Sana avoided his look.. "kyun.. kya hua?"
"Sidharth ne mujhe abhi call kiya tha... usne bola 15 minutes mein tayyar rehna, woh tujhe pickup karne aane waala hai.." Shehbaaz informed her taking a seat on her bed..
"Nahi... tu usko bol de main bimaar hoon.." Sana tried to come up with an excuse..
"Nahi bolunga.. mujhe pata hai tu acting kar rahi hai.. jaldi se tayyaar ho ja.. waise bhi mere dost log yahaan aa rahe hain.." Shehbaaz got up from the bed excited..
Sana sighed and switched on her phone.. she kept aside her phone and got up to get ready before Sidharth comes to pick her up..

15 minutes later:
"Teri photoshoot kaisi thi?" Sana asked Sidharth nervously as he picked her up from her apartment.. Without much thinking in fun she had made a big statement without consulting him..
Sidharth stayed silent for a while.. His concentration was on driving.. "achhi thi.." he replied after a while..
Sana sighed realizing he isn't happy with her statement.. She looked outside knowing he wouldnt give a reply.. the atmosphere around them changed into very tensed one.. both of them wanting to say things but unable to say.. the silence was killing them inside..
Sana followed him quietly to his apartment.. She felt her heartbeart raise at every step they took inside..

Sidharth sat down on the sofa and looked up at Sana who slowly made her way to the sofa and sat in the far end corner..
"Haan toh uss comment ka matlab kya tha?" He asked her turning around to face her
"Serious mat ho.. mazaak mein bol diya tha" Sana rushed up her words avoiding his gaze..
"Yeh kaisa mazaak hai Shehnaaz.. do you even know iske kya repercurssions aayenge.. now every media portal will be after us!" Sidharth spoke out of frustration
"Sidharth tujhe nahi lagta tu kuchh zyadha hi overreact kar raha hai? Woh nahi react karenge maine toh bas...."
"I am not overeacting!" Sidharth interrupted her.. "Tune bol diya roommates banenge.. already 5 articles aa chuke hain.. Sidharth Shukla aur Shehnaaz gill in live-in relationship! Abhi humne media mein kuch disclose bhi nahi kiya socho ye statement ka kya asar hoga.. Yehi problem hai tumhari.. kuchh bhi bol deti ho.. bina soche samjhe kuch bhi keh deti ho!!"
Sana felt her heart grow heavy with his rant.. her eyes filled with hurt as she realized how unhappy he was.. but how long was she to hide her feelings.. why did she have to control her words as others wish.. Not this time.. not anymore..
"Ek baat bolun Sidharth.." Sana started her talk with hurt in her voice.. " Tum yeh bol rahe ho na.. kuchh disclose nahi kiya hai public mein.. maine toh bol diya sabke samne i love you! Ab aur kuchh bhi bolun farak nahi padegi..meri  already one sided image bahar popular hogayi hai.."
Sidharth calmed down once he realized hurt in her voice.. pain evident in her eyes.. "Shehnaaz..."
She stopped him before he could interrupt.. "Bas bohot hogaya tera.. aisa kya galat bol diya maine.. Tumne aur Kaushal ne jo kal bola na just friends narrative ko follow kar... wahi kiya maine.. I said close buddies hai hum!! Kya close friends saath mein nahi rehte? Maine kab bola mein rehne wali hoon tere saath.. Mazak mein bol diya that you have offered me to stay as a roommate.." Her voice cracked as she spoke further.. "Waise bhi mujhe pata hai tu nahi rahega mere saath.. yeh roz roz ki visiting hi hogi ek dusre ke ghar mein.. kuchh din ke baad kya pata yeh bhi band ho jaye"
"Shehnaaz tum mujhe galat samaj rahi ho.. mera woh matlab nahi tha jaan.." he tried to pacify her but she got up with tears in her eyes.. Sana tried to control her emotions.. She brushed away her tears in anger.. "Waise bhi tujhe kuchh problem nahi hogi.. sab toh mujhe hi bolenge.. main hoon one sided lover of Sidharth Shukla.. ek paagal si ladki uske peeche humesha padi rehti hai.. woh hoon main.. yeh tag jo mila hai na usse mujhe koi problem nahi hain.. pyaar karti hoon tujhse isiliye sabke saamne bol diya.. ab media koi bhi issue banale mujhe koi farak nahi padta.." Sana stopped crying and cleared her face.. "Tu tension mat le.. ek aur interview de dungi main.. clear kardungi mazaak mein boldiya tha.. nahi banna mujhe koi roommate"
"Haan toh yeh sab kehke Shehnaaz tum kya prove karne ki koshish kar rahi ho??? " Sidharth raised his voice..
"Ke main tumse pyaar nahi karta?? Sabke saamne bol ne se hi mera pyaar prove hoga? Haan sabke saamne nahi bolta kuch.. mein aisa hi hoon.. a guy who doesnt fu***ng know how to express his feelings!! Nahi aataa yeh sab mujhe.. Ek aur baat.. Mujhe agar tere yahan rehne se problem hoti toh kabhi nahi leke aata mere ghar pe.." He matched her hurt as he stated his own feelings through his frustration..
Sana rubbed her forehead tiredly..."Nahi bol rahi hoon aise.. mujhe pata hai tu mujhse pyaar karta hai.. main bhi karti hoon.."
Sidharth shook his head in denial.." Yeh jo baatein tum bol rahi ho.. usse toh yehi lag raha hai tujhe mujh par koi barosa hai hi nahi.."
Sana shook her head denying..
"Yeh blame game chalti rahegi Sidharth.. mujhe ek reason de do main kyun insecure na banun...we love eachother.. but dost banke rahenge media ke saamne.. kyunki career ka sochna hai humein.. to isme main insecure ho rahi hoon toh kya problem hai.." Sana ranted on her feelings nonstop.. all her hurt speaking out tonight..
"Shehnaaz yahan sirf main apne career ka nahin soch raha hoon. Tere liye bohot zayada soch raha hoon.. You have to trust me.." Sidharth calmed himself and walked towards her holding her hands as she cried silently.. It was as if he was himself clueless what to say or do.. He was confused with his own feelings.. He wanted to say so many stuff yet unable to.. he wanted to take away her pain but helpless on how to...
He rubbed her shoulder gently.. he tried to hug her but she pushed him away slowly and looked up at him..
"Ek kaam karte hain..." Sana spoke softly.. "Yeh jo story humne bana li hain about dear friend.. close buddies.. isko sach kardete hein.."
Sidharth frowned.. "Matlab..???" His heartbeat increased in fear of her next words..
