Finally, the car stopped in front of the ‘Sunshine Colony’, from the window Shehnaaz can see her di and handsome standing near their car as if planning to go somewhere. She calls them out. 

“Di! Handsome!” they both look at their direction and smiles feeling a relief pass over them. 

Shehnaaz moves out of the car followed by Vikas and they move towards Jay and Mahi. Both are glaring at Shehnaaz, how can she be so careless? Does she have any idea how worried they were?

“Where on the earth were you Shehnaaz?” Mahi shouts on her, Sana became numb. Mahi called her Shehnaaz! This is enough for her to know how much angry Mahi is on her. She never calls her by her name. 

“Di…” she mummers her eyes moist seeing her di anger. 

“Why can’t you get single thing in your mind? Why you behave like a kid? You’re no longer a kid but 27-year-old woman. Just get that in mind and stop behaving like a kid.” Mahi is fuming in anger; she has been so worried after knowing that Shehnaaz has gone somewhere without informing anyone. She called her but her phone was ringing and she not receiving it. “And why were you not receiving my calls? Does you think all this is joke?” Mahi is shouting and Shehnaaz is standing there her head bend down, Jay keeps his hand on her shoulder to make Mahi little calm. She does calm down a little. 

“Cupcake your di is asking you something where is your phone?” Jay too is sounding angry though he is trying to suppress his anger down. 

“I... I forgot it…in my… vanity.” She says trying hard to say as she is feeling like crying and trying hard not to cry in front of them all. 

“What you mean by you forgot your cell? How can someone be so careless? What’s the use to keep cell then that either your cell battery will die or you will forget it somewhere. Not even seven-year kid behave like this.” Mahi again burst on her making Shehnaaz annoyed, she glanced at Vikas who is still standing there. She makes a pout and look at Mahi. 

“I didn’t do it intentionally; I was worried about…” Shehnaaz is going to speak but Mahi stopped her. 

“You never do anything intentionally. We are mad over here who goes mad thinking whether you will be fine or not. We get so tense thinking that whether you’re safe or not.” Mahi says still been angry on her. 

“Di now only you said that I am not kid, I am 27 years old. Then why don’t you behave with me like one? Why you be so protective regrading me as I am a kid. I am 27-year-old and I can take care of myself so please stop behaving as if I am a kid. I feel suffocated in your over protection. Where I have to always worry that you don’t get tensed about me, please let me leave my life.” Shehnaaz says that has been going in her mind from so long. 

She knows that Mahi cares for her but when someone is trying to protect you and in this, they try to control your life you feel suffocated. You feel like you don’t have that freedom which others have. You can’t hang out with your friends; you have to inform everything to her and it feels kinda weird as you don’t see others doing it. On the other hand, Mahi is shock after listening to Shehnaaz, her Sana. She feels suffocation from her, from her care, her love. She feels broken, she never thought that her Sana will say something like this. Jay always has told her to give her some space and she tried too much what she can do of her heart which used to get worried on small things regarding her. She maybe is not her own sister but she always considered her as her own child and she will always remain her first child. 

Jay glances at Mahi who has been in tears by now, he knows how she is feeling right now and that makes him angry on the reason behind it. He does care for his cupcake a lot but Mahi is his everything and he never gave anyone the right to hurt her. 

“What the hell are you talking Shehnaaz? You feel suffocated by Mahi’s care, love? Are you serious? How that words came out of your mouth? She cares you like her own child and you’re calling her care suffocation? Do you have any idea those words have pierced her heart; she is the reason that you….” Jay is going to speak something when Mahi stops him holding his hand and gesturing him not to say a word. 

“If she wants that I don’t interfere in her life from now on so I will try my level best that I don’t.” Mahi says staring into Shehnaaz eyes holding back her tears. Shehnaaz tries to open her mouth but Mahi moves from there and soon Shehnaaz too move inside been broken, in anger she really has said many thing which she didn’t meant in that way. 

Vikas glances at Jay and keeps a hand on his shoulder, “Jay I know that both Mahi and you know what is better for you trio but I will suggest that you inform her about the truth hidden from her. It will be better that she gets to know the reason behind Mahi’s this protective nature before she starts disliking her.” Saying so Vikas gets into his car leaving Jay in deep thoughts.

Two days passed by but still the differences between Mahi and Shehnaaz has not be sorted and nor Siddharth have been talking to Shehnaaz. She is feeling worse as two people in her life is angry on her and both are very important for her. She is sitting on one of the chair as it is a break time, Paras moves towards her. 

“What is this Shehnaaz? I am noticing you from past two days, what’s wrong with you? Why are you so sad?” Paras asks her been concerned for her. 

“Nothing, just that my di is angry on me and this Siddharth he is too ignoring me.” She says glancing at Siddharth who is busy talking with Aarthi. 

“Leave him, he is like that only. I told you right he is…” Paras is going to speak but Shehnaaz stopped him in between. 

“Paras it maybe you feel that he is like that but I don’t find him arrogant at all. That’s your opinion about it but I am fine with it.” Shehnaaz this words made Paras to shut his mouth. 

“Leave all this, did you remember that you had promise me for coffee?” Shehnaaz nodes, “so what about we go it for today?” Paras asks her with hope. 

“Sorry Paras but today I am not in a mood, some other day.” Shehnaaz says denying the offer as she is really not feeling to go anywhere. 

“That’s why I am asking you for it, so going and having a coffee will make your mood.” Paras tries to give in another try but Shehnaaz moves from there not even replying to him back. 

Shehnaaz sees Siddharth done with the shoot so she moves to him, totally ignoring what Paras is saying. Shehnaaz moves to him and sits on the chair next to him while on the other side Aarthi is sitting. 

“Siddharthhh… please talk to me. I am really sorry; I won’t bring her topic back. I promise.” She says pinching her throat. 

“Siddharth she is trying from so two days, forgive her and talk with her.” Aarthi says supporting Shehnaaz. 

“Aarthi please, I don’t want to talk with her. I don’t like those who trust others more than me and then question me.” Siddharth says not even once glancing at Shehnaaz, she makes a pout this is the behavior which she is witnessing from last two days. She has enough of it and can’t take it more. What is her mistake after all? 

“Why are you behaving in such manner? What have I done?” She asked him almost holding back her tears, she is so fed up with all the happenings. She is so confused, not getting why people are behaving in that way? So many things are kept hidden from her, what should she do? 

“That’s the problem, you have done nothing.” Siddharth stands up from the chair, making his way towards his vanity. Shehnaaz too stands from her place but before she can follow her, Aarthi stops her. 

“Shehnaaz he is like that. Give him some time, he will get normal.” Aarthi says making Shehnaaz to nod her head. Maybe Aarthi is correct, let him be alone as that might calm his anger.

After half an hour when Shehnaaz shoot is going on with Paras, reporter is taking interview of Siddharth while Aarthi is sitting beside him. Laughing and interrupting in between. Shehnaaz gets a break and she sit along with Paras opposite to Siddharth but within a distance she can hear their talks. 

“Sir as you might be knowing that your fans are waiting for Sidra moment from so long. So, when can they expect a scene of both you together?” The reporter asks him. 

“Hmm… they have already got so many sidra moment, why don’t try something new?” Siddharth tries to escape from the question. 

“Yeah what about Sidarthi,” Says Aarthi been all excited. 

“But people are going crazy on Sidnaaz,” reporters these words makes Aarthi to shut her mouth. 

“Sidnaaz?” Siddharth asks raising a brow as he has no idea what she is talking about. 

“Sidnaaz! You don’t know? People have made a hashtag of your and Shehnaaz together. Sid for Siddharth and Naaz for Shehnaaz. You’re that live video has gone viral and people are just loving the friendship you both share in real.” The reporter informs Mr. not so social media crazy Shukla. He has heard this from Shehnaaz but he never took it seriously but is amused listening it from the media. 

“Shehnaaz! If you’re free can we get an interview of you please?” The reporter asks noticing that she is having a break. 

“So, mine is done? I can leave right?” Siddharth asks trying to get up from the chair. 

“No! I want both of your interview together.” Making Siddharth to sit back and Shehnaaz to move towards them having a sit beside Siddharth. 

“Fans are eager to know that how your friendship started?” The reporter asked them. 

“What type of question is this? I mean how anyone’s friendship start? Obviously talking with each other.” Siddharth answers. 

“Shehnaaz do you find him arrogant, rude the way others call him?” The reporter asks bringing a smile on Shehnaaz face while Siddharth just cursed his fate, now she is going to blabber it in front of reporter. “Why are you smiling? Is there anything what we should know?” The reporter encouraged her to speak but Siddharth stopped her. 

“No, there is nothing that you should know.” Siddharth eyes Shehnaaz not to open her mouth. 

“Why? Shehnaaz tell us what’s the matter? Siddharth behaviour is making us curious.” The reporter is getting really curious to know it. 

“Sorry, I would have told if it was some other day. But today he is already angry on me so I can’t afford sharing it now.” Shehnaaz says giving reporter one more question. 

“Angry! Why is you angry on Shehnaaz?” The reporter asks Siddharth and Shehnaaz also want to know the answer as she herself is not aware about the reason though she knows it is something regrading Rashmi. 

“We keep on fighting with each other and in friends its common, isn’t it?” Siddharth says and the reporter nodes moving towards question regrading the show. After few more question reporter moves from there and after that Siddharth to moves to his vanity.

Shehnaaz is glancing at Siddharth who is sitting on the chair beside her, busy in his script. They are done shooting with each other and now it is lunch break but Siddharth is not ready to move to his vanity where they daily have their lunch. From past two days she is having lunch with Asim due to it but today she has decided that she won’t have her lunch until he has his along with her. 

“Shehnaaz you’re still over here? Are you planning to fast today? Only fifteen minutes are remaining and rats are running inside my stomach.” Asim says been annoyed as he is damn hungry and this girl is not ready to have her lunch. 

“So, who have stop you from eating? Go and have your lunch don’t trouble me.” Shehnaaz says in pissed voice. 

“You know I have my lunch along with you from first day of shoot. Now don’t show me attitude and come along with me.” Asim says been pissed too. 

“I am not showing you the attitude but the person sitting beside me is showing. Why can’t he have lunch along with us?” Shehnaaz asks glancing at Siddharth who is acting as if he is ignoring her. 

“He might not be hungry, now leave all this and come along with me.” With that Asim drags her along with him not listening to her ranting. 

They reach in Shehnaaz vanity where the food is already arranged in front of the table by Asim. He leaves Shehnaaz arm and goes and sit on the sofa, Shehnaaz too moves towards the sofa and sits beside him glaring at him. Asim who is busy serving himself finally notices Shehnaaz glaring at him. 

“Don’t stare me with so much love or you will end up falling for me.” Asim says chucking at the end. 

“Not even in my nightmares I want to fall for you. And why on earth you dragged me here? I was talking to Siddharth, right?” Shooting draggers at him. 

“Oh, please you were not talking with him but just staring him from corner of your eyes. Why don’t you give him some space? He will be normal after sometime. Maybe he just need space.” Asim suggested as he has seen her attempt to pacify Siddharth but failing in it miserably. 

“How much more space he wants? From past two days, he is ignoring me. And whenever I see his face, I feel like going and talking with him.  He can ignore me but I can’t what should I do?” She asks him pouting. She is not liking his ignorance at all. Asim is not able to see her so sad from past two days. He is missing her smile and he knows that her smile can be back only when Siddharth talks to her. 

“Hmm…. Why don’t you do one thing, you go and coaxed your di first? She is angry on you and you need to invest some time over there. Your shoot is already over, you go and spend some time with your di and it will also make Siddharth to miss you. You’re 24/7 around him in shoot. He has no time left to miss you, let him too enjoy his taste of medicine. You make him feel how it feels when someone ignores you.” Asim says making Shehnaaz to think deeply.

After the lunch break, Paras Shehnaaz, Asim, Siddharth and Aarthi sitting together. From last two days Aarthi is really trying hard to build a friendship with Siddharth and this thing is really not appreciated by Shehnaaz. 

“Sid look at this picture, people have edited our picture. It’s so cute.” Aarthi says blushing a little, Siddharth just smiles looking at it. Shehnaaz pouts looking at it. Whenever she used to show her picture, he used to find excuses not to see it and with her he is enjoying seeing it. 

“Stop staring at Aarthi with so much love, dear.” Asim mummers in her ear. She looks at him and glares him, while he smiles. 

“Don’t you like she is trying to be over friendly with Siddharth?” Shehnaaz asks getting annoyed. 

“No! I think you’re just getting very much affected that Aarthi is sitting on your place and nothing else.” Asim says concentrating back on his script. Shehnaaz first look at him annoyed but then her eyes went on Paras who is sitting beside Asim and busy doing something in his cell, she calls him out. 

“So, Paras you were asking me for coffee why don’t we have it today as we both are off now.” Shehnaaz says offering a coffee treat which is a date according to Paras making him the happiest, he didn’t waste a second to except it. 

“Yeah, sure why not? I was waiting for it from so long.” Paras says making Asim to face palm himself, why this girl has to go with Paras while someone else is fuming in anger. 

“So, I will bring my bag from vanity just wait for me.” Saying so Shehnaaz moves from there towards her vanity. She takes her purse which has been laying on the sofa and is going to move out when Asim moves in and is glaring her. She looks at him been confused, why is he glaring her? 

“What! Why are you glaring me?” She asks been confused. 

“And what should I do? Praise you for your foolishness? I asked you to spend time with your di rather then going on date with Paras.” He is annoyed with Shehnaaz foolishness. 

“Who is going on a date? Its just a coffee.” Shehnaaz says shaking her head in disbelief, she is just going on a coffee and why on earth will she go on date with Paras? 

“For you it’s just a coffee but for him it’s a date. You have seen him? he is so happy to go with you.” Asim is trying to put some sense in her brain. 

“Yeah that is because he was trying from so long and finally, we got an opportunity. So, I am going and please don’t stop me.” Saying so she leaves from vanity not listening to him at all. 

“What is wrong with this girl? Now surely he is going to kill me.” Asim thinks staring at the direction she just left.
