Chapter 24

" Sirf ek din hua hein mein kam se bahar hu aur tum log ka chalo hogaya " Sidharth said rubbing his face in frustration , he didn't understand how to make her understand his situation .

( It's been a day I'm away and you guys already started your careless behaviour )

" Meri hath me lagi hein dekho " saying Shehnaaz showed her burned finger to him , she wanted to distract him from the car topic but ended up in other argument which heated up more then she imagined . Sidharth shook his head in disbelief and asked her " Dhyan kaha rehta hein tumara khana banate time ? " .

( See , I got hurt on my finger )

( Where is your concentration while cooking ? )

" Galti se lag gaya " she said and before he could scold her more a knock on his door interrupted them . Sidharth moved towards the door to open and saw his colleague waiting for him .

( By mistake I got hurt )

" You are not ready yet , we are leaving in 5 minutes " one of his colleague said .

" Yeah coming " Sidharth said and closed the door .

" Sidharth kon tha vo aur kaha jane ki bate horahe hein ? " Shehnaaz enquired .

( Sidharth who was that ? And what was he saying about going out )

" Colleague hein , bahar isehe ghumne jarahe hein " Sidharth informed .

( He is my colleague and we are going out ) 

" Sahi hein apka , mein yaha apko miss kar rahe hu and you are enjoying their " Shehnaaz taunted him .

( Very good , I'm missing you here and you are enjoying )

" It's not like what you are thinking . Our client invited us and we can not deny it " Sidharth informed her .

" You didn't even informed me ? " She complained .

" I was going to but you people " he shook his head again .

" Raat me kaha ghum na hein apko ? " She asked like an typical nagging wife . Then added her complain " yaha mein jab kehte hu tho itne nakre karte hein bahar le jane ko , ab tho bahut jalde ready hogaye " .

( Where do you want to go out at night ? )

( When I ask you to take me out you show lots of tantrums now you got ready so quickly )

" Yehh kab nahi le gaya tujhe bahar , har bar tho jate hein jab bhi tu plan karte hein " Sidharth argued , he always takes her out whenever she plans it .

( When did I not take you out , everytime you plan something we always went out ) 

" Nakre tho karte ho na jane se pehele " Shehnaaz said .

( You always show tantrum first )

" Yaar chup hoja ab , mein ja raha hu okay goodnight " he said tried to end the topic which was being unnecessarily stretched .

" I don't want you to go out " Shehnaaz demanded like a stubborn child .

" What ! " He was shocked at her sudden childish demand . She didn't reply to him yet looked at him with an hope that he would cancel the plan for the night .

" Are you serious ? " He asked .

" Yes I am " Shehnaaz replied .

" Mein yaha akele hu , vaha ap akele enjoy karna chahte hein " she said .

( Here I'm alone and you want to go alone & enjoy )

" Tu kya chahte hein , mein kisi aur ke saath bahar na jau ? " He asked .

( What you want that I should not hangout with others )

" Why do you want to go with others , we will go once my exams are finished " Shehnaaz said .

" Stop behaving like an stupid " he said his voice stren and jaw tighten with anger , his phone was buzzing with his colleagues call and her tears sting at corner of her eyes hearing him .

" Kaha bhi jao , kuch bhi karo I don't care now " saying she hung up . Shehnaaz felt she was giving up her freedom , from hanging out with friends and chained up at home with responsibilities . Others were enjoying without any burden on their shoulder and she is sacrificing her time for the family even her husband is enjoying leaving her alone .

( Go where ever you want to , do whatever you want to do . I don't care now )

Sidharth was shocked it is first time she is being upset over the stupid thing . He didn't understand what got into her , she has never behaved like this before may be she is missing him more that's why he thought .

He debate himself before calling her , he didn't want to fight with her not upset her so he called himself before dailing her number but she didn't picked his call . He again dailed her number yet no response the frustration was building back again so he sent a message before leaving the room to join his colleague who are waiting for him . He simply can't sit back and wait for her to respond she will call him back soon thinking , he left after messaging her .

Why did you hung up ?

Shehnaaz pick up the call .

Sidharth felt his patience was thining this time and he couldn't understand her nor she is trying to . He called again yet her phone was switched off now . So he typed ,

Okay , Don't talk . I'm leaving now .

Sidharth felt her act as very childish and his fear felt true the age difference between them will cause issues . She is young wanted freedom and enjoy her life without any burden of responsibility and he tried giving her everything she wanted but it was not enough .

Shehnaaz slept after crying mumbling he doesn't care about me , he left me alone while enjoying his life only she is stuck .

The next day Sidharth stared at his phone as Shehnaaz didn't respond to his call nor to his messages . He talked to others and engrossed himself in his work while Shehnaaz mechanically worked at home and left to College with dull heart , she lost her appetite because of their fight .

Shehnaaz friends felt her irritable and , gloomy mood . They tried to cheer her up but Shehnaaz even snapped at them .

Sidharth tried finishing his work early so he can go back home to resolve their issue . As he felt the growing distance between them , he checked his phone few times to see any reply or call from her but it didn't came which hurted him .

Every time they resolve their fight before they go to sleep but this is the first time they ( she ) dragged over night as he still tried calling her and talk but she isolated herself and he could not reach her . Sidharth tried to talk with her through his father's phone or brothers but she gave excuses of work or study and told she would talk later and hung up on him .

On the otherhand Shehnaaz has different thoughts running in her head " Unko farak nahi padta , yaha mein akele hu kaise sambal rahe hu sab kuch mera exam stress , assignment likhna hein aur ghar pe yeh sab kam jo kabhi katam he nahi hote . Bas hamesha apni karne hote hein , phirna hain enjoy karna hein life aur mein yaha " .

( It doesn't matter to him , here I'm alone and handling everything exam stress , need to complete an assignment and house chores which are never ending . He always wants things done in his own way . He is enjoying his life and here I'm )
