Adaa Khan as Sanjana Mehra

Devaki's POV
After dinner, I did some work in the kitchen and then went to my room. I found Siddharth sitting on the bed. He usually watched tv at that time, but he was just sitting staring at the wall. "Siddharth?" I called him. "Hmm?" He said. I gave him a confused look. "Kya hua h aapko? Ese kyu bethe hue ho?" I asked. "Umm, nhi kucch nhi...ese hi kucch soch raha tha. Aao na betho" He said. I went and sat next to him. "Kya soch rhe the aap?" I asked. He told me about this girl, Sanjana. "Ajeeb si thi woh. Chehra bhula hi nhi pa rha hu. Pehle kabhi nhi hua esa" He said. I cocked my eyebrow. He chuckled. "Just kidding yaar...chill, chalo so jao" He said. I smiled and nodded. He said he was kidding, but I knew he wasn't...he was serious.

Siddharth's POV
The next day I went to work.

We were working on Karan Mehra's murder case.

Sumedh came. "Sanjana aa gey h" He said. I simply nodded. That name gave me goosebumps.

Sanjana came and sat with us. "Ok, so Sanjana ji, apke aur Karan k relations k bareme btaiye" Sumedh said. She started speaking. "Karan aur me saghe bhai-behen nhi h. Hamare papa ne do shaadiya ki thi. Lekin ham hamesha saghe bhai-behen jese hi rhe. Boht pyaar tha ham dono me" She said. I was looking at the way she was speaking. How she was moving her lips.

"Siddharth!!" Sumedh called shaking my shoulders. "Kaha khoya hua h? Teen baar bula chuka hu me tujhe" He said. Did he actually call me thrice? "Haan...umm...sorry. Kya hua?" I asked. "Apne aage k questions pooch yaar!" He said. I nodded and thought about the question.

There was an awkward silence between us.

"Haan to, Sanjana ji aapne last time kaha dekha tha Karan ko?" I asked even if that wasn't the question I was supposed to ask. "Ghar pe. Murder se ek raat pehle" She replied. "Umm, okk. Abhi aap jaa sakti h. Aage ki investigation me agar zarurat padi to ham aapko bula lenghe. Thanks" I said. She nodded and left.

After some work, we left for home.

When I reached home, I found Devaki in the balcony. I went to her and hugged her from the back. "Kya hua? Aaj akele akele yaha?" I asked. "Mujhe baat nhi krni aapse!" She replied. "Kyu? Mene kya kiya?" I asked.  "Yeah! Aapne kucch nhi kiya...that's the point. Siddharth aap 24 ghante kaam krte rehte h! Mujhe kabhi shopping pe nhi le ja sakte?" She asked. I chuckled. "Baby abhi kaam bohot h...kucch dino baad pakka" I said. She freed herself from my hug. "Jaiye yaha se!" She said loudly. I chuckled again. "Ok baba! We'll go tomorrow, khush?" I asked. She smiled in excitment.

I called Sumedh. "Sumu kal me Devaki k saath shopping krne jaa raha hu, tu Lab sambhaal lega na?" I asked. "Haan, don't worry, me manage kar lunga" He said.

The next day we went. First we watched a movie and then went to a mall for Devaki's so-called shopping. "Yeh kesi h?" She asked showing a shirt for me. "Haan thik h" I said. "Pichli 10 shirts ko bhi thik kaha tha aapne! Koi sense nhi h aapko shopping ka" She said. "Haan mujhe nhi h sense. Tumhe sab kucch pta h. Tum hi krlo" I said. She chuckled.

We bought some clothes. "Abhi ghar chale?" I asked. "Abhi kaha? Mujhe ab sandals khareedne h" She said. I rolled my eyes.

We went to another mall. She was looking at some sandals.

"Yeh wale lelo Devaki" I said. "Eww!! Never! Kitne simple h" She said. "Meri mahine bhar ki salary hawa me udaa rhi ho tum!" I said. She chuckled.

"Dr Siddharth?" Someone said from behind. I turned to see. "Yes?" I said with a smile. As I saw her face, my smiled vanished. "Sanjana ji aap yaha?" I asked looking at Sanjana. "Me to yaha shopping krne ai thi, aap?" She asked. I was just looking at her. There was something in her that was distracting me. "Umm...me yaha apni...Devaki k saath aya tha, meri patni" I said. "Devaki yeh Sanjana h...inke bhai ka murder case me aur Sumedh dekh rhe h" I said. They did a handshake.

Usually when Devaki's around me I didn't look at anyone other, but this time I was just lost in Sanjana. Why?

"Hame kucch zaruri kaam h, ham chalte h" I said lowering my gaze. "Ok, see you" Sanjana said with a smile. "Arey lekin..." Devaki said. I held her hand and took her out of the mall.

We sat in the car. "Siddharth? What was that? Kitna rudely behave kiya aapne. Kya ho gaya tha aapko?" Devaki asked. "Devaki...pta nhi kya ho jata h mujhe jab me Sanjana ko dekhta hu. Bohot ajeeb si feeling hoti h..." I said impatiently. "Siddharth..." She said placing her hand on my shoulder. I hugged her tightly. "Devaki...pta nhi mujhe kya ho raha h...kahi me usse..." I said. She caressed my hair. "Siddharth don't worry. Esa kucch nhi h. Mujhe poora vishwaas h aap par" She said. "Lekin woh feeling..." I said breaking the hug. "Sshh...kucch nhi h. Kabhi kabhi esa ho jata h" She said. I slightly nodded. "I think aap itne dino se kaam me busy rhe isi lie aapko esi feelings aa rhi h. Koi baat nhi. Ham ghar chalte h...aap jaakar aaram kar lena" She said. I nodded and we left for home.
