SidNaaz - Soulmates in the journey of self-discovery?

#27

'To fir Shuklaji, kaise hai app?'

'Bolna to mujhe aap ko bohot kuch hai, par kya karein, aapko kuch bhi zyada bol diya to jiske khusi key liye aaye hai woh dukhi ho jayegi..'

Sidharth smirks, 'Aapko mujhe jo bhi bolna hai, aap bol sakte hai...mujhe fadak parta nahi hai zyada waise....'

Rohan: 'Aree aap to gussa hone lagein...I come in peace.'

Shehnaaz not liking the direction the discussion is going quickly steps in and says, 'Aree Rohan tu kitnaa bolta hai? Mere sey bhi baatein kar ley yaar, chal tujhe ghar dikhata hoon...'

She drags Rohanpreet with her away from where the rest of the housemates are sitting, in the pretext of showing him the house. Rohan before leaving raises one eyebrow at Sidharth giving him a meaningful smile. An undercurrent passes through them and subtle warnings are conveyed.

As soon as they are out of earshot Mahira starts cribbing, 'Kitna bakwaas hai yaar yeh, kya bol raha tha aakar hi. Yeh to cheating hai Bigg Boss, aap kisi ek ko kaise eise preference dey sakte ho,...'

Vishal chirps in, 'Mahira ji agar aap bhul gayi ho to yaad dila doon, live voting hua tha, jisme Sana ney aap ko buri tarike sey haraya...aab to aangur khatte hai, nahi?'

Paras comes to Mahira's defense and says, "Vishal tu zyada bol mat, Rohanpreet ney aakar tum logo ki thora tarrif kya kardi, ki chadne aagaye hum par jhund banake. Mahira ka performance best tha, Sana rone lagi isiliye log emotional hokar usko votes diya...'

Asim not wanting to let go of this opportunity to get back at Paras says, 'Aree, agar eisi hi baat hai to fir Mahira ko to second aana chahiye tha who last kyun aayi? Aur tu hi bhonk raha tha na ki janta ko rona pasand nahi, entertainment chahiye, Sana kabhi nahi jiteegi...falana dhimka...aur tu hamari tarif chor, teri to beizzati abhi kiya na usney, uske upar soch...'

Arti trying to act matured says, 'Guys, abhi ek banda bahar sey aaya hai, uske samne to mat ladho. Aur woh kal ka bachcha hai.. Bekar mein badi badi baatein kar raha hai, usko importance kyun dey rahe ho...?'

Paras turns the topic towards Sidharth and says, ' Aur bhai, tujhe kya bol raha thaa...Itna kya badi badi chod raha hai...aate hi?'

Sidharth  lost in deep thoughts meekly says, 'Chal jaane dey na ...Tu kyun par raha hai humare beech..'

Paras says, 'Bhai, mein to tere support mein bol raha hoon....'

Sidharth: 'Mein khudka dekh lunga Paras, tu tension mat ley...'

********************************************************************************************

That night Sidharth comes out of the bedroom areas and sees, Rohan and Sana making tea in the kitchen. He overhears them laughing and having a good time...

Shehnaaz gets a new lease on life and is filled with a renewed vigor. She feels extremely happy having Rohanpreet with her.

Sana: Hayee, Preeto. Maine kitni teri chai miss ki yeha pey. Waise yeha par ration bhi kam aata hai. Abse tu hi mere liye chai banaiga...

Rohan: Haanji, Madamji. Aur kuch karu aapke liye?

Sana laughs and says, 'Chal gaana suna dey...'

Rohan seeing Sidharth headed their ways, breaks into a song, knowingly,

'Aisaa Dekhaa Nahi Khubsoorat Koi
Jism Jaise Hai Ajanta Kee Moorat Koi'

Sidharth pauses for a fraction of a second, his blood boils and he can see the smirk on Rohan's face. Sana whose back is turned towards Sidharth is unaware of the situation unfolding behind her.

Sidharth keeps a poker face not letting Rohan fathom if his deliberate attempt at annoying him is working and goes towards the smoking room in the corner of the garden areas leaving them behind.

While smoking Sidharth tries to analyze Rohan's intention. He knows that Rohan is simply Sana's friend as she never brought him up in their discussions. And, knowing Sana, she would have openly advertised Rohan had she been in a relationship with him. Slowly, it strikes him.....

Rohan is Sana's friends so it must have made him angry seeing Sana in anguish over the last few days. Also, it is but obvious that he will try giving it back to people who have hurt Sana in any way. With Sana and Sidharth fighting for the last few days, Rohan is justified to be mad at him as Sidharth has realized that in his anger he was rude with Sana and did cross a line somewhere.

A slow smile forms on his face and he says, 'Game on Rohanpreet Singh. Tujhe agar lagta hai ki tu hum dono key beech aa sakta hai to tu jee bharke try kar ley, mein phaad key rakh dunga agar koi hum dono key beech aane ki koshish kare...'

As he walks out of the smoking room, he sees Rohan and Sana siting in the corner sofa, drinking tea late at night, laughing and smiling. While a certain pang of jealousy strikes him, he also feels good that Sana is smiling, again, even if it is not because of him.

He goes to bed and waits for Shehnaaz to come to sleep. Even when they have been fighting, Sana has shared the same bed as his and it has always gave him peace thinking Sana is beside him every night.

Hours pass and finally Sana and Rohan come to the sleeping room. Sidharth quickly shuts his eyes pretending to be asleep.

Shehnaaz tells Rohan, "Preeto dekh uss side mein, Sidharth Dey ka bed khali hai, tu udhar so jaa.'

Rohan, 'Tu kidhar soyegi? Idhar Shuklaji key saath?'

Shehnaaz, " Haan, mein to yehi pey soti hoon?'

Rohan, 'Madamji aap sayed bhul rahi hai, mein aapke liye aaya idhar...chup chap merey saath chaliye...'

Shehnaaz, 'Nahi yaar, usko achcha nahi lagega...'

Rohan, 'Achcha! usko achcha nahi lagega? Jaise terey liye wait karke behta hai, dekh usse woh so gaya...aab paka maat..chal merey saath..'

Sidharth waits with bated breathe to hear Sana's decision and then feels as him someone has poured chill cold water over him when he hears her say, 'Achcha, chal theek hai..mein bed shift kar leti hoon..'

Rohan scoots to their bed and picks up Sana's and pillow and taunts under his breath, 'Waise aajkal log sone ki acting achcha kar lete hai, nahi?'

Sana confused says, 'Kya bol raha hai?'

Rohan, 'Kuch nahi tu chal..'

As they leave, Sidharth slowly opens his eyes, extremely frustrated he dreams of various ways of punching Rohan's face before falling into a disturbed sleep.
