"I am your favourite writer Pretty Angel." As she told him, he stood up, staring at her with wide-open eyes and mouth. He wasn't expecting her to be his favourite writer. She chuckled, seeing his reaction.

"What's going on ?" Shivansh's words caught both of their attention. They looked at him. He was coming to them, having a small smile on his face.

"Sid, your face is telling to me like you got a shock." Shivansh stood beside Sidharth. He laughed, putting his hand on Sidharth's shoulder.

"Shivansh, Sidharth is shocked to know that I am his favourite writer." She stood up and told him, walking toward Shivansh. Sidharth widened his eyes in shock as Shehnaaz revealed his secret in front of his best friend.

"What? Sid, when did you start reading novels? You never told me about this." Shivansh narrowed his brows and asked. Sidharth was finding words to make him understand. She bit her lower lip, realising that she told Sidharth's secret to Shivansh.

"Shivansh, you met Sidharth after two years. Things and choices change with time. Maybe Sidharth started reading novels within these two months." Shehnaaz explained Shivansh on the behalf of Sidharth because she was guilty of revealing his secret.

"Right, Sidharth?" She asked, looking at him. As he looked at her, she raised her eyebrows. He nodded his head and she smiled.

"Yeh, Shivansh. It's true that I got fond of reading novels in these two years and I never got any chance to tell you about this." Sidharth explained to him and he got convinced also.

"Okay, but I hope from now you won't keep any secret between us," Shivansh said, putting his hand on his shoulder. Sidharth nodded his head slightly and wondered about the feelings which were developing inside him for Shehnaaz and he could never share this with him.

"Sana, I am going to get fresh. Bring my dinner in my room only." As he said to Shehnaaz, she nodded at him.

"Sid, I wanted to talk to you but I am so exhausted today. We will catch up with the things tomorrow." Saying this, he climbed upstairs.

"I am really sorry, Sidharth." When Sidharth was staring at Shivansh who was going upstairs, Shehnaaz words caught his attention and moved his eyes at her angelic face.

"I couldn't keep your secret safe with me. I am such a big idiot." When Shehnaaz was apologising to him, he was busy admiring her beautiful and innocent face, forgetting about the whole world.
"Please forgive me." As she again apologised, he came onto the earth back.

He shook his head, trying to come out of the magic spell done by Shehnaaz on him and then he said, "It's Okay, Shehnaaz. Don't feel sorry."

It wasn't easy for him to take her out from his head because he was attracted towards her like two magnets attract towards each other.

"Really you are not angry with me ?" She asked to confirm and he nodded his head in no. She smiled broadly, knowing this.

As she smiled, Sidharth's heart skipped beating for a moment. Never in his life, he found anybody's smile so beautiful and engaging. In her smile, he found something more beautiful than his favourite stars. Her smile was making him fall in love with her. Her smile was giving peace to his heart and soul. He was captivated by her bewitching smile.

"Thank god. I thought you would get angry with me for not keeping your secret safe with me because I promised you. You know I lied to you. The truth is that I am very bad at keeping secrets. In fact, I am worst at keeping secrets." She laughed at herself, saying this. Until now Sidharth came to know that she was a complete chatterbox. He wanted to go because it was getting so difficult for him to control himself from not getting lost in her but her talks weren't getting over.

"I think, I should leave now. I am too tired." Shehnaaz opened her mouth to speak something but as Sidharth said, cutting her words, she instantly closed her mouth and nodded her head meekly. Her cuteness brought a warm smile to his face. He walked from there after last time glancing at her.

"Oh god, What is happening to me? This is so wrong." Sidharth murmured to himself after closing the door of his room.

"And I just can't believe that Shehnaaz is the only girl whom I was trying to find from the day I had read her novels." He held his head with his hands. He was going crazy.

"She is my favourite writer, Pretty angel. I never thought that I would meet her like this. I can't even express in front of her that what I feel about her writing that I completely fell in love with her novel. Her writing is mesmerising." He uttered disappointedly, sitting down on the bed because he couldn't do anything because of his unknown feeling.

"With her writing, she is also mesmerising me." His heart said to him and he got up in shock.

"What you are thinking, Sid? This is so wrong." He scolded himself.
"From now, I will completely avoid her. Yes, this is the best idea to avoid her." He went to the washroom after saying this to himself. He had no idea that it was just the beginning of his attraction. The more he runs away from her, the more he will come close to her.

Next Morning

Last night Sidharth had slept after taking sleeping pills because he had no other option. He was getting ready for the office now. He was in a black coat suit with a white shirt. He was setting his tie, standing in front of the mirror, having a serious look on his face. He was angry with himself. He was getting irritated and frustrated with his feelings because those feelings were wrong. He walked out of the room after last time glancing at himself in the mirror.

He stopped in front of Shehnaaz and Shivansh's room which was adjacent to his room. The door of their room was slightly opened. He took a step to walk away but couldn't stop himself from peeking inside. And he did a big mistake by doing this.

His breath got stuck in his throat and his heart stopped beating for a moment as his eyes fell over the girl who was making him crazy from the time he had seen her. She was coming out of the bathroom, drying her wet hair with the towel. She was looking stunning in the light pink saree which she was wearing. He was gazing at her like he used to stare at stars at night. Each and everything about her was attracting him. Her morning look made him crazier. Her wet hair and the water droplets dripping down her neck, everything was taking his breath away from him. She stood in front of the mirror, facing her back to him. She was wearing the backless blouse and he couldn't stop himself from staring at her milky white back. She was still drying her hair with the towel, standing in front of the mirror and humming a song. He loved the way she let her long, black and wet hair fall over her back. She had no idea somebody was gazing at her and going crazy, seeing her every move. For the first time, he felt like touching her and feeling her.

The reality hit his mind when Shivansh came and stood behind her. He wrapped his arms around her waist and nuzzled her wet hair. Sidharth felt some kind of pain in his heart, seeing Shehnaaz with someone else. Shivansh had complete right on Shehnaaz because she was his wife but still he felt hurt. He was feeling guilty too for staring at his best friend's wife like this. He immediately dashed from there and slammed the door after stepping into his room.

He was breathing heavily because he was going crazy. It was getting more difficult for him to resist her with each passing minute. He was not understanding what the hell was happening to him. He didn't want to feel like this for Shehnaaz but he didn't know why he couldn't control it. He never felt like this for any other girl before. She was the first girl who was attracting him toward herself like this. He had never felt so weak and helpless before. He had never found so much peace in anybody's smile before, the peace which her smile had given to him last night.

"Why? Why only her?" He shouted in frustration, asking this question from the god that why only she attracted him, why not any other girl. He punched over the wall while shrieking again the same words. His knuckles started bleeding because of the punch. He squeezed his eyes shut because of the pain and a few tears trickled down his cheeks. He was feeling helpless about this unknown feeling. He wanted this to get stopped. He wished that he would have a remote for his feeling. So that he could stop his feeling by pressing the stop button.

_______

He was walking out of the mansion as fast as possible so that nobody could see him or stop him. He didn't want to face her again.

"Sidharth," Shivansh called him from behind, stepping downstairs as his eyes fell over him. Sidharth closed his eyes and fisted his hands, listening to his voice. He wanted to run away, but he turned around unwillingly, plastering a fake smile on his face.

"What did you think that you could go without having breakfast," Shivansh asked, strolling over him. As Sidharth looked at him, Shivansh raised his eyebrows.

"I am sorry, Shivansh but I am already getting late for a meeting. I have to leave." Sidharth instantly gave an excuse to leave the house.

"You know one beautiful girl has said that we should never leave the house with an empty stomach. I mean my Shehnaaz says this." Shivansh laughed loudly. Sidharth felt a sharp pain in his heart when Shivansh called Shehnaaz his Shehnaaz. But still, he forced a smile on his face.

"Wow, Shivansh, I am impressed. " Shehnaaz said, walking there and clapping her hands. Like always Sidharth heartbeat accelerated because of Shehnaaz's presence. Her voice was becoming like a melodious song for him which he wanted to hear all day and night. But that song was also forbidden for him like she was forbidden to him.

"Tell me one thing, when did you start taking my words so seriously ?" She crossed her arms around her chest and asked in anger, raising her eyebrows. Shivansh made a cute pout while Sidharth was trying to not look at her.

"Sidharth," As she took his name, Sidharth instantly looked at her and his heart skipped beating after listening to his name in her sweet and pleasant voice.

"You know, your friend Shivansh who was explaining to you that we should not leave the house with an empty stomach. He himself most of the time leave the house without having breakfast." Shehnaaz said all this, looking at Sidharth and at last, he glared at Shivansh.

"I am sorry jaan." Shivansh apologised, holding his ear cutely.
"Promise you, from the next time this won't happen again." He took her hand in his hands and said. She smiled in response, nodding her head. Sidharth was standing there, looking down.  Many things were going in his mind at that time and all those things were making him crazy.

"Now you both follow me to the Dining table without any argument." She ordered them sternly, showing her forefinger to them. Then she turned around and strolled toward the dining table.
"Chal aja..( Come on)" Shivansh patted Sidharth's back and ran behind Shehnaaz. Sidharth was left with no other option rather than following them.

Sidharth and Shivansh settled down at the dining table while Shehnaaz was serving them breakfast and one maid was arranging the breakfast on the table. Shehnaaz served Sidharth one Aloo Pratha and when she was about to put the curd in his bowl, he showed his hand to her and they had an eye lock of two seconds where they for the first time looked into each other eyes.

After serving Shivansh, she sat down beside him and on the other side of him, Sidharth was sitting. Sidharth started eating without, looking at Shehnaaz and thankfully she wasn't sitting in front of him or else it would get more difficult for him to stop himself from looking at her beautiful face.

"Shehnaaz, the coffee is not so sweet. Will you taste?" Shivansh asked, holding out the mug of coffee in front of Shehnaaz. She took it with a confused expression and taste it.
"Now give it to me. You taste it, now it became sweet." Before Shehnaaz could say something, he said, taking the glass from Shehnaaz's hand.

"So cheesy Shivansh," Shehnaaz shook her head in disbelief.

"Really, you have made it sweet by tasting it. Before this, the coffee was tasteless for me ." He said after taking a sip of coffee. Shehnaaz again shook her head. Sidharth was just trying to concentrate on his tasty paratha and trying to avoid their talks.

"Sidharth why are you so silent? Isn't the food tasty?" Shivansh asked, looking at Sidharth. Sidharth nodded his head in no, looking at him immediately.

"These Parathas are yummy. Say thank you to Rashmi." Sidharth said, making Shivansh and Shehnaaz looked at him confusingly.

"Sidharth my wife name is Shehnaaz, not Rashmi. What are you saying ?" Shivansh asked, having a confused expression on his face. Then both heard Shehnaaz's loud laughs which caught their attention. They both stared at her, having confused looks on their face.

"Actually Shivansh last night Rashmi cooked dinner so I think Sidharth thought that breakfast is also cooked by her only," Shehnaaz said, solving the confusion.
"Right Sidharth ?"Shehnaaz asked, looking at Sidharth. He nodded his head in yes, looking at her. Shivansh made O shape mouth, understanding Sidharth's words now. Now he understood that why he was finding Pratha so tasty because they were made by Shehnaaz.

"Sid, today my beautiful wife has cooked the food from her beautiful hands, not that Ras..  or whatever her name is," Shivansh held Shehnaaz's hand and kissed her knuckle, leaning down. She smiled in response, looking at him.

For the first time, Sidharth was getting jealous of Shivansh and he was feeling guilty too. He was hurt, he was jealous, he was angry and more than all of this he was guilty. Shivansh was his best friend and he was getting jealous of his best friend because he had Shehnaaz, the girl who was making him crazy, helpless and weak. He was feeling like she was doing some kind of magic on his heart, on his mind and his soul, like she was hypnotising him. He wasn't able to look beyond her. From her smile to her taking his name, everything was driving him crazy. He knew that this was wrong but still he was not able to stop his heart from attracting toward Shehnaaz.
