Meant to be

Ch 12 contd....

The fact that Sidharth and Shehnaaz had mysteriously gotten back together did not sit well with anyone in the house. For some it was a matter of their game becoming a bit more tougher, for some it was just good old jealousy because no one thought Shehnaaz deserved to come out of nowhere literally and catch Sidharth's fancy the way she did. The fact that it changed the entire dynamics of the house was so evident in the ugly fights that ensued literally everyday post their patch up.

Soon after there was the shaadi task and a huge ugly fight broke out between Asim and Sidharth, even though the reason for the fight seemed very silly everyone literally everyone played off the fight, all except for Shehnaaz. She at all times was just extremely aware of how agitated and rankled Sidharth was getting and she was doing everything in her ability to somehow get him to not do anything stupid and be thrown out of the show. Right from becoming a human shield to hugging him from behind to peppering his chest and hands with feather kisses she was doing everything to pull Sidharth away from the emotional and mental strain that was causing all the aggression to pour out. What she did not realise was that Sidharth was acutely aware of everything. Every minute thing happening not only in front of him, around him, behind him, to him. All of his reactions were under his control and he was also noticing every body and their every reaction.

He had a soft corner for Asim there was no doubt about it. With a sinking feeling he realised that for Asim the game was bigger than their brotherhood, so even in that flurry of raised voices and Adrenalin he realised what Paras, mahira were Upto, as much as they disgusted him, it was time to
Make some tough choices for the game, in all this Shehnaaz, he wanted to at one point just whisk her away from all
Of this and drink deeply from the way she offered her entire being in making sure he did not do anything out of the way to harm his game. Every touch of hers, every kiss and every caress of hers stood out louder that anything that was happening in the house. At one point they were all sitting outside and through the cringeworthy way mahira was sidling Upto him, through the shrill voice of Arti all he could feel was her fingers weaver through his hair and gently caressing him.

Later as they settled into the night. After everything that had to be said was said both of them were on their bed and Sidharth was lying in his back with his right arm tucked under his head and the left hand in his chest, he was staring at the ceiling when he felt her small delicate hands on his chest and she whispered to him "ab shaanth ho ja, ussi scene ko baar baar replay na kar. Aaj kuch kaam ki cheez nahi honay wala hain, bas thand pa aur soja kal dekhenge. Muah!" Saying this she continued to stroke his chest in an attempt to calm him down. Sidharth had half smile in his face, he took the hand caressing his chest and put it on his head indicating her to continue caressing his hair and head. She let out a small giggle as she shifted closer to him, kissed his chest and with her right hand in his hair and her left hand on his chest and covered by his giant hand, both of them fell into a sleep that restored their frayed nerves. Suddenly she shot up! And Sidharth too startled and a worriedly asked her "kya hua baby!" Only to find Shehnaaz give him a sheepish and cute smile and bring her face very close to his face, she pecked him on his nose and whispered "vaisay gussay mein bada hot lag raha tha!" And buried her shy face into his chest, he despite all his reservations could help hold her closer to himself and whisper back "acha! Isiliye itna chipak rahi thi?" Gone was the Abu Shehnaaz she immediately held his hair roughly and said "bakwaas na kar! Kuttay aaj mein na hothi na abhi tu bahar hotha!"
To which a aroused Sidharth responded "aur agar mein bahar hotha mein dikhaatha mein kitna thankful hoon!"

Shehnaaz could not believe what she heard so she quickly looked up and even though she had anticipated a certain expression, she was completely  taken aback and was completely drawn towards those two set of eyes which looked back at hers with such vulnerability, honesty and lust. Both of them smiled knowingly at each other, Sidharth kissed her firmly on the forehead and whispered "chal hug karke sothay hain!"

A few days later the captaincy task was announced and at one point only Sidharth and Himanshi were left in the task and Asim was upto his antics of distracting Sidharth such that he does something untoward and gives up the task and once again Shehnaaz roared and got in front of Sidharth to ensure that he was able to complete his task without distraction which he was able to do, but then the ugly head of foul play emerged and people's masks dropped at that moment. Things got heated up and the cool facade of composure that Himanshi had been maintaining dropped involuntarily and she shoved Shehnaaz in anger! Things went haywire from there and in that Shefali.Z without any basis or truth unfairly declared Himanshi the captain for the week.

In all this while everyone was agitated and loudly arguing with each other, as soon as Sidharth was done with the task he went looking for Shehnaaz. She was in the luggage area looking for something, he found her and caught her by the elbow and turned her around and pulled her to him and while caressing her head asked her "are you ok? Are you hurt? Meri jaan am sorry that happened!"

Shehnaaz with her shut eye squeezed him in tighter and replied "chal uskay dakha maarnay
Say kuch hotha hai kya! Bakwaas karta hai! Tu yeh chod Aur jaakey bol apnay fav vishkanya ko bol kay captain tu hi hai kyunki tumnay koi ulangan nahi kiya! Badi aayi sanchaalak banney! Jao aur chipko, English mein baathay karo! Badey friends thay Na bahar! Now you Enjoy karo apni puraani dosti!"

Sidharth pulled out of the hug and looked down at her and said "tera problem kya hai bey! Ya tusherawaali maata hai,  ya phir nyaay ki Devi ya Jalan ki shikhar, hai kya cheez tu? Puri ki puri bhelpuri!" And then he dragged her across and out her against the shelves and trapped her there between both his arms, bent down a bit and looked directly into her eyes and with a deep purr in his voice and longing in his eyes he looked directly at her and said "mein is theeki, meethi, khatti bhelpuri ko chakloo?" And he pulled in closer and he even surprised himself when instead of kissing her cheeks, he opened his mouth and gave her cheek a wholesome but gentle bite. And when he drew back he looked at her to find her looking wide and glassy eyed. He immediately started second guessing himself "kya hua meri jaan did I hurt you, should I have not done it. Am sorry shehnaaz mein shayad Tumhay awkward kar diya ho!i really am sorry baby!"

"Hai hai Sidharth, kitna bolta hai! Baakion ke samnay toh munch phula kay Raktha aur ab bolay hee ja raha, haq rakh tu rakh sakta hai. Mera Ganda bachcha !" She said and pinched his cheek and pulled his hair! "Chal ab bahar chaltay hain mazaa aya aaj ka tamasha hai na!"

Saying this they both walked back with wide grins in their hearts and a stoic expression on their face because somethign between them was happening...it was too raw, too new and too precious for anyone else to see it.
