The past two days had been chaotic for her, the little warm cacoon she had been living in for the past four months had been snatched from her & now she was exposed to the brutality of the world where she was being called names, character assassinated, pressurized, blackmailed

all because she had rushed into signing a show thinking that it would create a mean for her to stay closer to the one she loved the most, her home, her Sidharth q k "Sidharth to mera hai na"
Her family wasn't happy with the decision she had made though she didn't care for them

because rightnow nothing mattered but Sidharth.
It had been two days since she saw him, the one she had been breathing around every moment of the past four months was now nowhere to be seen. She hadn't slept, hadn't eaten properly for the past two days & now she was being forced

into something, she didn't want to do.
All she had wanted at that moment was to runaway & find comfort in the arms of Sidharth but the mistake she had made by signing the show now demanded of her to pay a hefty price of killing her feelings & stand there with a smile on her face

while they exploited her innocence, gratitude & emotions.
It was time for the task to choose the candidates for her swayamvar show & a blindfold was put on her eyes for the blind choosing.
Her heart wasn't into it but we can't always do what our heart wants... can we now?

She could hear the announcement & the footsteps of the candidates coming on the stage & suddenly her heart had started beating a very weird way, there was something... something different in the air. She didn't know what but the feeling wouldn't leave her alone. She was becoming

restless & she knew where would find rest but she couldn't go to him. He was the recent winner of Bigg boss 13 now so obviously, he was busy with a lot of stuff & well he was bad at taking his calls.
The fear that she was losing him & everything she has earned over the past 4

months was excruciating but she couldn't help but stand there & play along with whatever she was being told to.
Manshi was announcing the arrival of candidates & she stood listening to her heart, feeling the air, wondering about if it was always going be this painful without

him. With the beat of the song, the candidates started arriving on the stage & he emerged with a bright but sad smile on his face. He was there, he had arrived. He looked at her with a mild smirk on his face. In green lehnga, straight hair & nude lipstick, she looked like the

Shehnaaz who had stolen his heart. Though, he was indeed mad at her for getting herself into this mess, but she was his girl & how could he leave her alone knowing that she was surrounded by the vultures who had wanted nothing but to exploit her innocent & fame she had earned

through her hard work & passion.
He was seeing her after 2 whole days & now that she was in front of him, he couldn't look away. He hadn't slept in 2 days, hadn't even met his family properly yet. There were phone calls & requests & Interview & he dropped it all just to get to

get to see her.
& now, the winner of BB13 Sidharth Shukla was standing in a line among these lole poche wanna be guys with his hands tied behind his back.... all for the woman he loved. Yes, he was afraid of losing her. He had always thought that she would leave him for a

younger prospect & perhaps it was his destiny to endure this pain right then & there but was it? Or was she surprise him yet again like she always did?
His eyes were still glued to her while the sadness in his smile screamed his dil ka haal,
He loved that woman & he loved her

a lot. It was only his love which had driven him to stand there on stage for a mad show just because he couldn't leave her alone after he had received a call from her while she was crying & complaining of him not answering his to her calls & texts.

She needed him & he was there

for her, just like he had promised her.

Manish was now asking her to touch each guy & decide on his vibe whether she wanted to select him as a candidate or not.

As uncomfortable as she was being forced into touching the hands/arms of a stranger, she had no choice but to do

per se as a part of the deal, she had unknowingly signed.
Manish now took her hand & placed it on the cheek of the next candidate. The minute Sana felt the rough stubble under the skin of her palms, an unpleasant shock ran through her body & she jolted back screaming in shock &

disgust.
She was hating it, it didn't feel right.
She didn't want to lay a finger on the strangers standing in front of her. It was tormenting & she terribly wished for Sidharth to be there so that she could run into his arms & find the comfort she had been craving for.

Sidharth could sense her whimpering heart.
She wasn't comfortable with what she was being put through he could see his.
The woman he loved, the woman he couldn't bear calling someone "sensible" was now being forced to touch & sense these lole poche clowns & he could do nothing.

but somewhere deep down his heart now had this strange sense of pride that she wasn't falling for any of them. She wasn't enjoying it & though he hated to see the pain she was going through, some of his insecurities had begun to melt away & as far his eyes, they were still glued

to her watching each step & every breath she took. It wasn't just her who had missed him, he too had terribly missed his sakoon, his Shehnaaz.

& then suddenly it was his turn to extend his arm so that the queen of his heart could whether he was to be a worthy candidate or not. Sidharth bit his lower lip in nervousness, what is she going to say? He asked himself.
He wasn't expecting her to recognize him but much to his

surprise, instead of backing away as she had done with the other guys, she held his arm & starting exploring as if she was dealing with familiar territory.
She touched his biceps, his hair as if she knew who he was

*but how does she know? she can't even see me. How can she

tell by just touching my hand?* he couldn't help but keep asking himself the same question.

The channel team had told him that Sana wasn't told that he would be coming then how? How could she possible that he was the one, that he is the one.

His heart started feeling heavy & he felt a lump forming in his throat. She loved him. She truly loved him which is why she picked him out of the several guys standing there by just the sense & feel of his arm. His heart had always been right, it was all true. Shehnaaz Kaur Gill

was indeed in love with Sidharth Shukla & it has been proven yet again.
She had won him over & she had won him over in front of the whole world.

he kept looking at her while trying to control the sea of emotions in his eyes. He had never been loved like that, he had never been loved so sincerely & selflessly & there she was.. standing in front of him the woman he had been searching for all his life. & this is how he found

her, forced in a swayamvar show she didn't want to do.
Wasn't love hard for them?
He couldn't hide the pain that thought brought on his face... she was his but they were taking her away & for the moment he couldn't do anything but wonder about the games the destiny was playing on

them.
& as they say, love is hard & so it was.

(Next part --> within an hour)

She had made a mistake, he knew that. The channel had exploited her gratitude & innocent & manipulated her into signing this piece of crap but she did not deserve the pain she was being put through & he didn't either. They both didn't deserve it. The whole world knew what was

between them & yet he was forced to stand there for the woman he loved & pick a potential groom for her.
WHAT THE ACTUAL F!!!!

"aur kitne imtehaan lega waqt tu?
Zindagi meri hai phir marzi teri q?"

But he had to do it for her now, didn't he?
He couldn't leave her alone now, not in this mess.
He had to stand by her & pretend that it was all just normal, that they weren't feeling the pain of thousand paper cuts every moment for which the channel was making a mockery of

their relationship.

"ye jo akhri wala tha na, isse mujhe Sidharth Shukla wali feel ayi"

Sana's musical voice broke the train of his thoughts & he was taken aback.

**She...how did she even??**

Words got lost, a sea of emotions again rose in this eyes & he clenched his jaw

to ease the heaviness in his throat.
He was proud, he was in pain, he was happy, he was tired,
he was sad, he was emotional... all in all, he was in love head over heels & all over again.

She was the best thing that had happened to him & he was the most grateful for it.

It was now time to take off her blindfold & Sidharth heart skipped a beat.
The thought of looking into her eyes after two whole days was euphoric.

Manish had told him to stand behind her while they took off her blindfold because they wanted to take her by surprise.
When the blindfold was lifted, Sana lifted her eyes in hope of finding a familiar face but instead, she found an unfamiliar face looking down at her.

*But how is it possible? I know it was Sidharth. It was him.**
She had touched him & she could identify her man among thousand with a mere touch but it wasn't just that, the air was different. Her heart was beating in a different way, just the way it did around Sidharth. She

quickly turned around & there he was, standing with his shoulders erect & looking into her eyes.
She burst into tears & threw her arms around him.
He was there for her, she wasn't abandoned as she had always feared in her life.
Sidharth bent down to take Sana into his embrace.

It has been days since he had had a dose of this sakoon & the hearty smile on his face was enough to tell that his sakoon was finally in his embrace. She was sobbing in his arms & kissed her on her cheek while tightening his grip around her. He was there, & he wanted her to know

that. He nudged her face with his nose while she pressed her lips on his cheeks. She didn't care about who was watching or what would the people say, she loved him & that all she cared for. As a matter of fact, Sidharth too didn't care about the cameras, the nosy media or the

cunning tabloids. It was their moment & he had seized it.

He looked towards the audience with a swarm of pride in his eyes, she was his girl & now the whole world knew it.

Even those who denied, even those envied... deep down every single effing person knew that they were one, they were #SidNaaz

Paras was also very happy to see them togather, he had tears of joy filling up in his eyes & wished for them to happily ever after. (Ahem!! **Sarcasm Alert**)

Sidharth took a step back to get a better look at her goofball who was now laughing while tears were rolling down her cheek. He fixed her hair & bit his lips again to contain the joy which was filling every pore of his body.

She was his cute munchkin &now the noor of his life.

Sana wasn't ready to let him go, she clung to him as if she was afraid that the minute she loosened her grip on him he will be taken away. Sidharth held her hand tightly to assure her that he was there & he wasn't leaving anytime soon, not at least until she was ready ready to

let go.

It was now Sana who couldn't take her eyes off of him.
She looked at him with her wet eyes which had all the love in the world only for the man she had dared calling her "Khassam" on national television.

Her eyes had a look which whispered;

je howay ijazat teri karaan ibadat.

He was now talking to Manish but she wasn't paying attention now, she put her head on his chest & closed her eyes.

Though It had been only 2 days without his touch, without the warmth of skin. but those 2 days had felt like years of torment.

She now just wanted to feel him with her heart before they were again torn apart.

But suddenly the words started making sense again, he was talking about her.

For the first time, he was talking about his feelings & that too on National television, something she had always

wanted to hear from him.

"Sana is a gem of a person.." & the tears started welling up in her eyes again. She had always wanted him to say all of this & now he said it? on her swayamvar show where she was nothing but a bird in a golden cage.

It was her decision but she didn't

know that she would regret at the cost of her feelings.
She didn't want to be there, she didn't want to be a part of that show or put up with the clowns they had called for her. She wanted to go home, she wanted to go with him but she knew that it wasn't possible & the thought

made her cry.

Jaanewafa hoke bekaraar
Barson kiya maine intezaar
Par kabhi tune nahin
Ye sab kaha jo ab kaha
Dil bebasi mein chupke se rota hai
Kya karoon hay kuchh kuchh hota hai
Kya karoon hay kuchh kuchh hota hai

(song credits to PV creations)

Sidharth tightened his grip on her shoulder because he knew that she was breaking down but what about him? his own voice was cracking saying the thing he had always hidden in his heart & now saying them out loud was making him realize that;

*Bohat ganda wala pyar hogaya tha*

Both of them stood there, silently confessing their love for each other with their voice cracking & tears welling up their eyes.

*Mohabbat jeet hoti
Magar ye haar jaati hai
Kabhi dil soz lamho se
Kabhi bekaar rashmo se
kabhi taqdeer walon se
Kabhii majboor kasmon se
