Inseparable - Sidnaaz Story

Part 2

Sidharth slept for almost the whole day the exhaustion taking over him completely. He was woken up in the middle of the day by his mom for lunch, but he went back to sleep right again. When he finally felt like waking up, it was almost evening.. He laid there for few more minutes.. taking in just him and his space and the silence in room.. it felt like luxury after spending 4 and half months in that mad house.. It was sill difficult for him to believe that there is no one watching him anymore.. there were no strangers around.. he could do whatever he wanted.. eat whatever he wanted, sleep how much ever he wanted.. say whatever he wanted.. not that he cared about the last one much but still. It was such a liberating feeling. All the memories from that house and the last night's events went through his mind again.. the anticipation for the result, the realization, the winning high, media, reporters, fans.. everything and a huge smile broke out on his face realizing how he got the best out of all those gruesome 4 months..

And Shehnaaz..! How could he forget Shehnaaz...

He looked at the watch, and sat up quickly, "shit shit shit.. isne pakka 100 baar call kiya hoga ab tak.. "

He picked up his phone and sure enough there were 100 and 100s of notifications.. of people he knew, he did not know, so many messages, missed calls. Luckily he never had social media notifications on, on his phone, he could only imagine how crazy that would have been now.

He scrolled through the names quickly and saw she indeed had called couple of times.. and there were couple of message as well..

'Sidharthhhh.. phone kyu nahi utha raha.. mujhe yaad aa rahi hai teri..', 'tu kaha hai.. call kar kutte.. ', and the last one just said 'Sidharth.....'

He smiled at her messages and dialed her number..

"hello... "

"Shehnaaz..?? oyy tu ro rahi hai??"

"tune subah se call kyu ni uthaya.. "

"arre mein soya tha yaar. Itna thak gaya tha.. tu pagal hai kya.. usme rone lag gayi.. "

He just heard he sniffle without any response..

"Oyy moti.. bas kar abhi kiya na call.. bol abhi.. "

"tu sachh mein soya tha itni itni der??"

"haan bey.. last 2-3 din se nind kaha hui thi puri.. aur upar se mera bedroom.. aur pura ka pura bed mil gaya.. kya nind aayi kasam se kya batau tuze.. " He teased her for getting the whole bed to himself for sleeping referring to their conversation a week back in the BB house..

"okay.. " she said still sounding sad..

"abbe kya hua..??"

"mujhe laga abhi bahar aa gaye tu mere se baat hi ni karega jaise sab bol rahe the.. "

"soya tha darling, bas isliye phone nahi uthaya.. " he did not like the helplessness in her voice..

"pakka?? Tu uthayega na mera phone??? "

"of course uthaunga darling.. aur nahi bhi uthaya kisi baat pe to gadhi hai kya tu royegi itni chhoti baat pe? "

"mujhe laga tu mujhe sach mein ignore kar raha hai baki sab ke jaise.. "

"baki sab ke jaisa matlab?? Aur kaun ignore kar raha hai tuze... " he asked confused by her words..
