“What? He is what!” Totally astonished, Siddharth stare at Shehnaaz been amazed, did she just call him her friend? 

“Friend, I am her friend.” Dey says having a devil smile triggering Siddharth more. He just gives a punch of his face, not able to see him wining. How on the earth he made her convince that he is her friend? 

“Siddharth, what are you doing?” Shehnaaz tries to stop him, trying to hug him to calm him down but he pushes her away. 

“Don’t… don’t you even come near me.” He says again going to punch him but Shehnaaz holds his hand, looking at him with concern filled eyes and he knows that this concern is for him and not for that Dey. She nodes in a negative manner, making him to calm a bit and move from there been totally pissed. He can hear her voice calling him out but he didn’t stop for her. 

“Siddharth please stop!” She calls him out seeing his retreating figure and moves to go when Dey and Mahi stops her. 

“I will drop you; you don’t have to go with that arrogant. I told you right, that he doesn’t know how to behave.” Dey says trying to manipulate Shehnaaz but she is Shehnaaz after all. She trusts only Siddharth most than anyone in this world. 

“No! I will go with him. He came to pick me up.” She goes to move but this time Mahi calls her out. 

“But Sana…” Shehnaaz looks at her and only finds her been worried for her. 

“Don’t worry I will be fine if I am with him.” Those words are enough to show how much trust she holds on him. How much she knows that he will protect her. 

She makes her way towards Siddharth while Dey stares at her retreating figure with a defeat. Mahi is still confused what just happened while Jay’s mom is just staring at Dey been suspicious. She already has doubt on him and after seeing Siddharth behaviour he is sure something is totally wrong. 

Shehnaaz smiles seeing him sitting in his car been all angry but still waiting for her. She opens the door of the car and makes herself comfortable on passenger seat. He soon starts the engine, Shehnaaz glance at him with a smile but he is totally ignoring her looking straight on road. She slowly moves towards him and leans on his arms. 

“Shehnaaz please give me to drive.” He knows that he will melt soon but he doesn’t want to, so he tries to push her away. 

“When have I stopped you?” saying so she pushes his arm away and hugs him pressing a kiss on his chest. “I know you’re angry after seeing him in my house but he is my friend from long back even before I knew you.” Listening to this Siddharth become more furious, he tries to again push her away but Shehnaaz looks at him with a pout. “What is it? Stop pushing me away.” 

“Shehnaaz I said give me to drive and you move away from me, go to your friend who was your friend long before you knew me.” He said getting pissed, why on the earth was she calling him her friend? 

“Will you listen me for once?” She says getting annoyed at him. Can’t he listen to her once? She again goes to hug him though he is not letting her to but anyhow she ends up hugging him. 

“Siddharthhh… I myself have no idea about him. That tattoo person whom I saw in café was no one else than him, I first had a thought that he was trying to harm me due to that asthma attack but now when he came to our house I got to know that he was my friend.” She raises her head to look at him but finds his expression blank, she slowly touches his face. “I have hide a thing from you Siddharth,” that makes him to glance at her. What have she hide from him? “I have not told to anyone that I lost my memory three months back as I met with accident.” She again rests her head on his chest while Siddharth again moves his eyes back on road. “I don’t remember how my life was before three months, nor do di or anyone can tell me about it as there is risk of my life.” Shehnaaz says that making Siddharth curious that how she got to know about it. 

“Risk of life?” He asks as he can’t directly question her that who told her that. Shehnaaz again raises her head upon hearing his question, she nodes looking at him resting her head back. 

“Risk of life, I myself was not aware of it. Di or handsome never made me know it but today Dey told me it.” The car stops due to the traffic single, she slowly raises her head and cups his face with both of her hand. “I can understand that you both don’t get along with each other but Siddharth maybe that he holds importance in my life as I remember only that tattoo. He told me that I consider him as my best friend, he was trying to meet me but each time seeing my condition getting worse he moved away and then he got to know about my memory loss. He has some misconception about you and it will get sort out once you both talk with each other.” Shehnaaz says in a calm manner as if she is making a kid to understand. 

“I don’t want to talk to anyone,” saying so he pushes her hand away and move his graze back on the road. As the signal is green and car has started to move. The remaining journey took place in silence. Both are lost in their own thoughts, trying to think about the other wellbeing.

The moment they reach studio, Siddharth makes his way directly to vanity while Shehnaaz sees his retreating figure been upset and she too moves towards her vanity. Asim who has also entered just now and is going to call them out but get confused seeing them moving to their respective vanity so soon. At least Shehnaaz never moves to her vanity, definitely they have fought again thinks Asim making his way towards his vanity but he gets a call from Vikas. 

“Hello! I have already reached on the set so don’t you dare to give me lecture on coming late.” Asim says not giving chance for him to talk but finding no scolding from the other side, he asks “are you there Vikas?” Asim asks only to receive a tensed voice of Vikas. 

“There is something serious!” Vikas says making Asim too worried. 

“What you mean by that?” Asim asks sounding tense. 

“Siddharth called me a minute ago in his vanity along with you. He was sounding damn furious there is something very much serious.” Vikas says thinking about the possibilities that might have happened for Siddharth to behave in such a way. 

“I saw just both of them entering and they both moved directly to their vanity. I thought that they might have fought like casual but he called you that means something happened for sure. I am waiting for you outside; we will move together.” Saying so Asim hangs the call. 

Soon Vikas comes there and both moves inside into Siddharth vanity only to find his wrist badly hurt and a blood dropping from it on floor while he sitting quietly on sofa. Seeing it Vikas becomes shock and moves towards the first-aid kept in there and moves towards him to treat his wound. 

“Are you mad! What have you done to your hand?” Vikas sits beside him and tries to take his hand in his but he doesn’t let him to. “Siddharth don’t act like a kid show me your hand,” he again tries to hold it but he doesn’t give him. 

“What’s wrong with your bro? Why you harm yourself again? Did he again call you?” Asim asks getting worried seeing him in such condition. 

“Not he but I saw Dey today.” Siddharth says his face blank. 

“And you harm yourself for that? Are you mad Sid, what happened if you saw him? Khushi is with us and that what matters, right?” Vikas says been pissed seeing him hurting himself for such a small thing. 

“But won’t be with us for long.” Siddharth this comment makes Vikas and Asim shock, what does he mean by that? 

“Why are you saying like that? I saw Sana moving out of your car.” Asim says been totally confused with his that statement. 

“But before I go to pick her from Jay’s flat can you both guess who I found there?” Siddharth asks making both tenses. 

“Dey?” Asim asks been utterly shock, his silence gives the answer. 

“What! Dey? What is he doing over there? How come he reach there? How he got to know about it?” Vikas asks so many questions revolving in his head, he always has a feeling that Jay’s house is the safest place for Shehnaaz and after coming to know that Dey reach there. He is shock will be understatement. 

“You and your friend should know it. You said right that he has no contact with any of industry person. Ask him about it? The safest place for Shehnaaz that what you used to tell right now ask him.” Siddharth says been totally pissed on Vikas as well as Jay because of this both he allowed Shehnaaz to stay there but what is the use? He entered into her life anyhow and soon will try to destroy it. “And you know what is the biggest joke, she considers him as her best friend the one who is planning to destroy her life and she is thinking of him been her well wisher and this everything just because of you Vikas.” Siddharth mind is occupied with only Shehnaaz thought and at the moment he is just thinking about her, blaming each and every person that will be hurdle in her safety. 

Vikas feels hurt seeing him talking in such a way. Why will he want that Shehnaaz to get hurt by anything? He too wanted her to be safe for that he made them understand to let her stay with Jay. He really thought that it will be safe for her. Asim knows that Vikas is hurt by his words but he can also understand Siddharth worry, they both are right at their places so he thinks that it is better to keep quiet rather than adding more worries. 

At that moment the door of vanity gets open and Shehnaaz gets in. She is amaze seeing Vikas and Asim present over there. “You all are hanging out together without me,” she pouts. “From this both I don’t expect anything but at least you should have called me.” Shehnaaz says looking at Vikas who tries to give her fake smile. 

“I said that we will call you kiddo but then Asim jumped in saying…” Vikas is going to say further but Asim interrupts him. 

“What wrong did I said? I said that kids are not allowed to do the discussion moreover it was boy’s talk. Do you want to know what boys talk we had?” Asim says giving her mischievous smile making Shehnaaz sacred that what might they have talk? 

“No!” Closing both her ears in a dramatic way, “I am not interested in your talks. I came here to talk to Siddharth,” she looks at Siddharth smiling at him but soon her smiles disappear when her eyes lands on his bleeding hand. “What happened to your hand?” She asks getting worried. She knees in front of him trying to take his hand in hers. He tries to take his hand away from her but she glares at him. 

“Siddharthhh… don’t you dare to!” She says giving him a warning look. Vikas hands him the first-aid box knowing only she can handle him. Seeing it Siddharth shoot draggers at Vikas who royally ignores it. “How this happened?” Shehnaaz is asking him while treating his wound. “You again hurt yourself but why? How many times I have told you not to hurt yourself. Today my anger you burst on yourself?” Shehnaaz glares at him. 

“I was not angry.” His voice soft as if scared to speak. 

“You were not angry then why on earth did you hurt yourself?” She says glaring him, “See how it is bleeding.” She says wiping the blood and putting cotton over there. “You sometime do act like a kid.” She is full on scolding him, while Vikas and Asim are trying hard not to smile. This has been the same person who has been behaving like angry young man a minute ago and now he is not less than a scared kitten but he is scared of his kitten. 

“Now stop scolding me.” He says been annoyed and making faces as he knew that now they both will tease him regrading it. Though he doesn’t take anyone’s teasing as his one glare is enough to stop them. 

“If I won’t scold you then should I worship you? For the foolishness you committed, I am warning you Siddharth if I found you again hurting yourself then no one will be worse than me.” Glaring him. 

There is a knock on the door, Vikas allow the person to get in. 

“Sir, director sir has called Asim sir and Shehnaaz ma’am for their shoot.” The staff member informs them. Vikas nodes and the person moves out. 

“So, come Sana we have to go for the shoot.” Asim says seeing Shehnaaz still kneeling over there. Shehnaaz takes the bandaged hand of Siddharth in hers presses a kiss over there. Siddharth looks been amazed, she looks into his eyes and says. 

“Please take care,” saying so she moves from there with Asim while Siddharth keeps on staring at her retreating figure. 

How will he ever survive if she leaves him? Will he be able to? She has once brought him from darkness now he again doesn’t want to land there. He is selfish and will always be selfish because he knows that she doesn’t need him the way he does. She will be able to survive without him but never in this life he will be able to do it. 

Siddharth is lost in his thoughts when Vikas keeps a hand on his shoulder bringing him out of his thoughts. Vikas is well aware that what feelings he is going through and deep down he is blaming himself for Shehnaaz and Siddharth this condition, though he is not to be blame for it. 

“Siddharth please stop stressing yourself. Everything will get fine.” Vikas says making Siddharth to look at him. 

“How everything will be fine? He had made her believe that he was his friend now she will be more comfortable with him. He will be able to execute his plan more easily. And still now we are not able to find who is the person helping him, what was the use of this show then?” Siddharth asks fuming in anger. 

“I know that we are still not able to find the culprit but both of you have a doubt on Paras, right? He was the one who did it.” Vikas says in a way to calm Siddharth down so that he can have a look at positive side. 

“I have doubt on each person on set all of your cast. They have always made me suspicious about them, everyone over here have given clues so many times for me to doubt on them. From Paras trying to manipulate Shehnaaz on the first day of shoot against me to Mahira too joining him. Aarthi supporting me without any particular reason, Arhaan trying to trigger me and make me to fight with him, Rashmi trying to show in front of Shehnaaz that we both love each other, been all sweet with her. Mahira helping Dey with the article, Arhaan trying to encourage Dey to ask me question on premier night, Paras wanting to go coffee with her. This every particular thing makes me to doubt each one of them. The reason that I always get angry on Shehnaaz when I see her any nearby to them, trusting them. They all have their own reasons for their actions some maybe hiding the real reason can’t say but at the moment I have something very much important thing to do.” Saying so Siddharth gets up from the sofa. 

“Siddharth where are you going?” Vikas asks been concerned but he ignores his question. 

“Take care of Shehnaaz.” Saying so he moves from there. 

 “I just hope he don’t pull more stunts on himself due to anger.” Been very much worried for him.

Siddharth drives the car very fast and finally reaches his desired place. He gets out of his car only to see ‘Sunshine colony’ building in front of him. He makes his way towards Jay’s flat; he needs to ask so many questions today. He has completely lost himself today Jay will have to answer all his questions. 

On the other hand, Jay has enter his house fifteen minutes back. Unknown to all the things happened in his house, he has no idea that Siddharth Dey is his new neighbour. He is simply laying down on his bed been tired with his business trip when his landline rings which is just beside his bed on the table. He receives it lazily his eyes still closed. 

“Hello…” in a sleepy tone. 

“Jay I need to talk to you. I am waiting on your terrace, just come. Its very much urgent.” Siddharth voice makes Jay to open his eyes wide but before he can ask him anything, he hangs the call. Jay just goes through what he just said, first he calls him on his landline and second he is waiting on his terrace! Why? He gets up in hurry and washing his face makes his way out of his room. When he is going to move out of the house Mahi stops him. 

“Where are you going Jay?” Mahi asks seeing his husband who has all set to rest the entire day is moving out. 

“I have some urgent call to attend, will come soon.” Jay moves out before she can ask him any further question. Mahi stares at the direction he left been suspicious as he is having no phone in his hand. How is he going to make a call then? 

//

Jay come on the terrace and finds Siddharth impatiently waiting for him. He moves towards him. 

“If there was anything urgent you might have called me, why you came over here? You know how risky it is.” Jay says moving his eyes in the surrounding to see if someone is listening to their conversation. 

“I was going to come to your flat but then thought that it will be better if we meet over here. I didn’t wanted to trouble your wife, but you have to answer me how did you allowed Dey in your house?” With each passing moment he is getting more furious, “you know everything and you still behave in so careless manner.” He is shouting on him. 

“Dey! In my house when? Trust me Siddharth I have no idea about it or I would never let him in. He met Shehnaaz?” He asks getting concerned and seeing it Siddharth anger calm a little, from his reaction it is clear that he has no idea about it. 

“You don’t know about Dey?” Siddharth asks again. 

“No! I will never allow him in my house knowing that you all want to save Shehnaaz from him. I know that he can destroy her life and I will never want it to happen.” Jay says trying to justify his loyalty towards both of them. 

“What! He can destroy her life?” Comes a shock voice of Mahi who is standing on the entrance of the terrace. She has been thinking that he is her friend but how come he will destroy her life?
