HUMNAVA MERE ☑

Chapter 3

Every one looked at Shehnaaz to find out about the task. Shehnaaz gave a bright smile to everyone and walked up to the center of living room. All eyes in the room focussed on her.

'Hello everyone, sastriyakal sarya nu' Shehnaaz said folding her hands. The housemates responded in overlapping voices a hi, hello or sastriyakal. Shehnaaz gave a sweet smile.
'Mai Shehnaaz Kaur Gill, Punjab ki model, actor hu aur ab singer bhi with my debut song 'Veham' jo iss Monday ko release hua hai..... aur by God's grace kafi acha chl rha hai. To mai apne hit gaane ko super duper hit bnvane aayi hu' Shehnaaz said as cheerful as a child. Her eyes reflected innocence and purity. Her voice was sweet and she carried herself nicely yet not like those poised actresses. She let her soul be free.

As soon as she announced about her song everyone clapped, Paras whistled loudly making everyone in the house giggle. He was leaving no chance to let down his playboy character tag. He really cherished it. The only two housemates who couldn't even put up a plastic smile were Himanshi and Mahira. Well Shehnaaz hadn't even expected any nice gesture from Himanshi. She was just glad that she at least didn't open her mouth because as a guest on show it wouldn't have been pleasing to fight with a housemate. But Mahira? Shehnaaz scrunched her nose for just a millisecond on the whistle and then put forward a big fake smile for Paras. This went unnoticed by all other housemates leaving Sidharth making him chuckle. 'This girl is something else, like a mystery which looks simple but is very complicated' were his thoughts but he didn't ponder much on it.
Shehnaaz continued.

'To mere song ka promotion to mai beech beech mein krti rhungi pr uske alawa mai yahan ek bhut important task ke liye bhi aayi hu. Bigg boss ne socha ki mera svayamvar hona chahiye (giggles) asli wala nhi. Sidharth aur Paras do davedaar hai jo mujhe agle do dino tk impress krne ki puri koshish krenge, mujhe pamper krenge, mujhe convince krenge ki koshish krenge ki vo behtar kyu hai. Saath hi saath mai jb chahu yahan(spreading out her arms, indicating the living room) sabha bula skti hu aur uss sabha mein apko kuch bhi krne ko keh skti hu jo bilkul mere mn ka hoga aur apko vo karya krke mera Dil jeetna hoga (smiles). Pr........dulha akela ldki lene thodi aata hai, uske saath pura parivaar bhi hota hai. To Sidharth ke parivaar mein hai Asim, Aarti, Khesari, Himanshi aur Shefali Zariwala honge aur Paras ke parivaar mein hai Mahira, Devoleena, Vishal, Shefali Bagga aur Madhurima. Rashmi aur Bhau mere mummy daddy honge. Sidharth aur Paras mein se jo jeetega use milegi ek advantage..ek immunity. Saath hi saath jeetne wale ke parivaar mein se captaincy ke davedaar chune jaayenge. Issliye Mai parivaar se bhi kuch bhi karya krva skti hu. Rashmi aur Bhau mein se kisiko davedari milegi ya nhi vo mai decide krungi.' she tells about the task in one breath.

Dhanyavaad Shehnaaz sbkuch itna vistaar se smjhane k liye. Aapka iss ghar mein Bigg boss phirse swaagat krte hai.
Captain room filhaal ke liye Shehnaaz ka kamra hoga. Jisme Shehnaaz ki marzi k bina koi pravesh nhi kr skta.

Shehnaaz stands with the fingers of her both hands entwined with each other resting on her chin. Her lips curved into a slight smile and she nibbling on her lower lip listening as Bigg boss spoke. Sidharth notices how her eyes move looking nothing in particular but just restless. How her eyebrows forrow at some difficult hindi words used by Bigg boss. He didn't knew if he was the only one noticing her too much. He didn't knew why he did that but for some reason her serene face was making him forget the maddness of that house. He looked at her with utter curiosity. Shehnaaz could feel his eyes on her but they didn't seem to annoy her. He looked at her as if a new born baby would look at you with utter purity. His expressions didn't change much but she noticed even that slight little curves on his lips when she was speaking.
Good luck
Bigg boss'
And they realised that they didn't hear much after the first two sentences. Shehnaaz smiled at her silly self.
 
'To Sidharth Paras all the best. aap dono mujhse aakr ek ek krke baat kr skte hai. Pr usse pehle......mujhe koi ghar to dikha do!' Aarti got up immediately with a wide excited smile, 'Mai dikhati hu' and hurriedly walked up to her. 'Hi mai Aarti' Shehnaaz neither liked her nor quite disliked her, she sometimes according to her was so clingy and a bit irritating on screen. Shehnaaz smiled warmly at her and took her hand to shake. 'Hello,  Mai Shehnaaz'
'Chalo ghar dikhati hu' Aarti said in an overexcited tone. Sana simply smiled and walked behind her. Then suddenly she turned. 'Koi ek chai bnakr pila do please' she requested smiling sweetly. Paras quickly grabbed the chance. 'Mahira chai bna de' he said in an ordering tone. Mahira gave him a hard stare and then huffed before getting up to make tea. While going into the kitchen she smiled at Shehnaaz with her gritted teeth. Oh! what was this girl's problem who was getting annoyed of her without even once talking to her. Shehnaaz shrugged and moved behind Aarti who kept ranting about herself. Shehnaaz was least interested.

After getting fresh Shehnaaz told Aarti to ask Paras to come to the captain room to talk first. She left her dupatta hanging from one shoulder and sat on the sofa waiting for him. He came in walking with a wicked crooky smile holding the cup of tea in his hand. He walked as if he was a prince. He came and sat almost too close to her on sofa handing her the cup of tea, 'Aapki chai'.
His left hand rested on the back of sofa slightly touching her skin making her shift a little away. She took the cup of tea and plastered a smile on her face. She was getting irritated of him already. His cologne was too strong for her to bear. It would surely make her faint she thought.

'Thankyou, so Paras tell me about yourself, apne baare mein btao that why...'
'oh ho, apne baare mein btau? Sachi shaadi krne ka plan hai Kya?' Paras said followed by a wicked laughter. Shehnaaz's eyes twitched with annoyance but she immediately wore back her smile. His eyes were making her damn uncomfortable and that smile made her want to punch his face. She wrapped her dupatta around almost covering herself and she didn't like feeling that uncomfortable.
'Pura sentence sun lo Paras. Mai bol rhi thi ki apne baare mein btao ki aap mein aisa kya hai ki apko ye task jeetna chahiye?' she completed what she wanted to say.

'Uh... ab power ka to nhi pata ki kya milni hai pr kyunki ye svayamvar wala task hai to meri personality hi aisi hai. I am a boy who attracts girls. Pehle padav mein bhi I had the most connections in this house. Mai ghar mein sbse jyada entertaining hun aur strong bhi. Saath hi saath shaatir bhi hu to ye task to mai hi jeetna deserve krta hu' he said, filled with overconfidence. Shehnaaz so wanted to burst his bubble but as a guest she needs to listen to him fairly. She couldn't bare those eyes looking at her for any longer.
'It was nice talking to you Paras' she said faking a smile.
'Ho gya? Mujhe to apse abhi kafi baatein krni hai.' he said with that same cunning smile.
'Abhi k liye itna hi we'll talk later.' Paras got up and held her hand to her surprise and kissed it. She pulled it back immediately.
'You are really very pretty' he said in a sultury tone. Shehnaaz could not even manage to smile which Paras took as her shyness. He walked out of the room with a tilted smile. Shehnaaz let out a sigh and rolled her eyes. She scrunched her nose irritated.

After five minutes Sidharth entered with a soft smile. He came and sat on the other corner of the sofa. His eyes and demeanor showed that he was a gentleman. Shehnaaz smile immediately brightened. Not only on screen but also in person he was making her his fan all over again. He carried himself as a man, with an attitude in his walk and respect brimming in his eyes. She got up and walked a bit closer to him.
'Can I have a hug please'  she requested and he more than obliged stood up with a bright smile. They shared a warm hug. Pulling back from hug.
'Ye hug aapke Sidhearts ki taraf se jo aapse baishumar pyaar krte hai' she said smiling widely.
'I am honored' he said with a bright smile  'Aur aapki taraf se?'  ughhhh why did you say that, what will she think... his brain scolded. Those words slipped out so unconsciously. Shehnaaz chuckled, 'I'll be more than honored' she said with her right hand on her heart. Sidharth sighed in relief. They both shared another hug and then took their seats. She wanted to about talk so many nonsensical things with him but couldn't.

'To Sidharth btaiye ki aapko yeh kyu jeetna chahiye?'
' ughh....Can't rant about myself. But I am here to win. This task as well as the show. I am passionate about it. Mai shayad baaton se impress na kr sku but mai try krunga ki jo aap baaki task doge usse dhang se kru and then if I'll deserve I'll win.'
Sana was quite impressed with his answer she continued to talk and in a while they shifted from formal talk to informal one. She told a little about herself and he told somethings about himselves. To there own shock they got comfortable with each other quite soon.

As they continued to talk Paras saw them from the bedroom area, seething mad. She hardly talked to him for 8-10 minutes and it had been now approximately half an hour that she had been talking to Sidharth. His manly ego got pinched. But this was just the start.....

So this was the third chapter...I hope you liked it. And the story is getting some good response. I am thankful to you for it. Please comment and tell how was it.
