Meant to be

Ch 10 contd...

"Neetu!!!!! Has kaisay sakthi hai yaar? Shukhar hai mummy nahi hain iss call mein. Nahin toh unka Aur bhi haal bighday ga!" Preeti said in shock. Preeti was FaceTiming with Neetu to try and relieve the tensions that were building up
In their home in Mumbai because of the horrible few days Sidharth had been facing inside the BB house. "Mummy bohot tension mein hain yaar. Bol rahi thi ki Sid ka face bilkul dark ho Gaya hai out of tension. Muhjay bhi laga ki voh bohot smoke bhi kar raha hoga tension mein. Nahin jaana tha usko show mein. Any need! This is really not worth it you know. Aur voh Shehnaaz uska bhi alag chal raha hai. Jab tak voh iskay saath thi jitna bhi Jhagada ho voh sambhal jaatha hai. Maana uska kaam nahi hai Isko sambhaalna, phir bhi"

At this point Neetu cut her saying "isiliye toh meko itnee hasee aa rahi hain! Preeti hamara  chota itna bada star banta phirtha hai na gadha hai voh! Ok maybe not in the game, believe me uska aur mera dimaag ek jaisay chalta hai inn sab cheezon mein. Mummy aur tum toh santh insaan ho. Ham tedhey hain. Jitnay bhi jhagadey abhi tak huay hain na, usko pata hain baath ko kitna kheenchna hai or kab let go karna hai.actually sabko mast ka topi pehenaa raha hai!"

"Toh ismay gadha vaala kya kiya isnay" a confused Preeti asked her. As soon as she said that Neetu again started doubling up in laughter. " preeti Sid ka sab tedhapan na Sana Kay aagey ekdum phus! Bechaara Shefali, Asim aur Arti ko bolta hai ki usko sana samajh mein nahi aaya " saying this again Neetu started laughing, an irritated Preeti said " ya tu has ya phir baat kar! Meko kuch samajh mein nahi aya!" Neetu quickly composed herself and said " voh bechaari apnay insecurity mein padi hain aur iss gadhay ko samajh hee nahi ho raha Kay problem kya hai. Itna logical bana phirta hain na...sana kay aagey sab logic dislodge ho Gaya! Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha. Usko paas bhi jaana hai lekin hamaarey man Of few words ko pata bhi nahi hai ki problem kya hai! Baaki sab sahi kar raha hai voh bas meko sirf yehi tension hai ki voh baakiyon kay saath baith kar unka hee pyadha naa ban jaye. Vaisay bhi dekha tunay ? key Shehnaaz issey naaraaz hokar roothi
Toh kiseee Nay nahi bola ki jaakey manao. Sabko except our logical bhai ko pata hai ki Sidharth Himanshi kay paas gaya aur sana ki nikal padhi. Voh abhi Himanshi aur Shefali Kay saath itna baittha hai aur udhar sana ki jalti hai. Iss gadhay ko Paras dikhta hai lekin apnay aajoo bajoo mein lady paras's ko paala hain na uska kya!"

"Neetu tu shayad Bhool
Gayi? Hamaara bhai tadap raha hain andhar,bacha mera. It has always been his problem you know that he does not know how to express his emotions in words. Dikhaata zyaada aur bolta kam. Mein ek surprising cheez boloon tujhey? Mummy kal udhaas baithi thi tho meinay unko console kiya me sidharth is strong mom don't worry, then matasri hamaari says, Sidharth toh strong hai hee aur itnay radhaon mandra rahi hai na aaa paas he will be fine lekin voh bachi ko dekho bilkul akeli padh gayi . Jee karta hai ki andhar jaoon Sid Kay kaan Pakdoon aur sana aur uska jhagada khatam karoon." Preeti continued with a big grin on her face "mummy ko na voh ladki bohot pasand hai. I just hope Sid gives her a second chance. Uska toh pata hai na kitna door karta hai the people who he thinks have betrayed him."

Neetu sighed along with her sister and said "tadap toh raha hai Bhai hamara, lekin sana kay liye. Preetidi you watch this space both will be back together and stronger than before. Something tells me he likes her she is more than a friend to him. Pata nahi jab bhi dono ko saath dekhti hoon na mann sey apnay aap ek dua nikalti hain ki dono ek ho jaye. I know irrational hai lekin lagta toh hai, abhi aap sey kya chupaana."

"Neetu tunay meri Dil ki baat bol di lekin the other day I was talking to Jags and dear husband says that I am delusional and that Sid only considers her a young girl who he is fond of and to not to unnecessarily build castles in the air. Lekin yeh dono ko dekh kar friends vaali vibes toh Nahi aa rahi. Acha terese puchna tha? You remember him dating this zariwala? I can't recall her at all. Anyway I hope these two patch up soon friends tho friends. Sid bas sambhaaley apnay aap ko. Mein tv pey Sid ki haalath aur ghar pey mummy ki haalath nahi dekh sakthi yaar."Preeti sighed.

"Mummy sey mein bhi baath karungi thodi der baath, tu chill kar. Sab theek ho jayega. Sid has always emerged on top and I can feel it in my bones yeh show jeeteyga....uska toh koi shaq hee nahi hai. I just hope show aur life partner milay toh imagine. As it is he is looking like a love sick puppy and it is so cute to watch."

Saying this the sisters hung up on their conversation and Preeti went upstairs to make sure her mum had lunch. She entered the house to find her mum watching the latest episode of Bb. And the scene playing out was Sidharth getting a head massage from Himanshi. Rita Shukla turned to her daughter and said "dekh na Preeti yeh jaan pooch key uss bacchi ko pareshan kar raha hai. Usko koi zaroorat nahi hai apni champi karvaaneka. Aur voh Himanshi aur Shefali acting as they know Sidharth so well!"

Preeti found this aspect of her mum so adorable so she quickly sat next to her and hugged her saying "haan so they are acting as if they know him so well because your son is allowing them Na! Aur vaisay bhi he knows this zariwala well FYI. Neetu aur mujhay toh ekdum yaad nahi hai lekin shayad aap ko pata ho!"

Rita Shukla did remember the girl, the few months that Sidharth and shefali dated she visited home a couple of times. Before she could form a concrete opinion the two had broken up and she remembered Sidharth not being too affected by her presence or absence and that spoke volumes. Apparently she was married now. Adith, Sidharths assistant was her news source and he would google and get her all the info she wanted. She had asked him for all the details about this Himanshi controversy but in the meanwhile adith has told her that Shefali was now married for a few years now. This rankled the wise lady a bit, because somewhere her body language towards Sidharth was not that of a married woman. Rita Shukla always found that she chose to always stick close to Sidharth and sidle upto him. She knew her son well and knew that he would never disrespect a marriage even if it was easy for him to but still that house was a unique confluence of circumstance, opportunity, desperation and freedom. She turned to preeti and said "aayi hai do teen bar ghar but Sidharth never seemed that interested in her. Bechari Shehnaaz akeli ho gayi. Dono bachaylog Galat hain lekin Sid ko apna age ka maturity sey handle kar sakta tha! Ajeeb sa apnapan mehsoos hota hai na Shehnaaz jab uskay saath baithi hai to, hai na?"

Preeti with great restraint did not tell her mum about the conversation she had with her sister a short while ago. Sidharth was a very private person and hardly discussed his feelings aloud. The last thing he needs for his mum and sisters to start behaving like some silly romantic school girls. She continued hugging her mother and said " mummy aapka beta na Jab 16 saal ka tha tab bhi Khadoos tha aur abhi bhi vaisay ka vaisay hee hai. Lekin yeh jo playful Sid Ubhar kay aa raha hai voh toh aapki sana key vajah sey hi hai. Mummy he is 39 and given that he has never ever so openly allowed anyone to affect him, looks like he has set aside all his personality for this girl. Neetu bol rahi thi ki Sid ka pura
Control mein hi chilaatha aur jhagadtha hai. Voh bol rahi thi ki usko sense hai key kiss haq tak kheencha jaa sakta hai mudhay ko. Toh shayad ham Sab ko Sid pe bharosa rakhna chahiye and enjoy the show. "

Saying this both mom and daughter continued watching the rest of the episode hoping like the rest of the nation for a long awaited patch up of Sidharth and Shehnaaz.
