Soon everyone is present in the hall except Rashmi and Siddharth has both are present in their respective room, Shehnaaz accompany Siddharth knowing well that he will be upset with all the blunder which happened just few minutes ago. 

Siddharth been his usual self goes and lays on his bed, as he does when he gets upset or angry due to anything. Shehnaaz knowing him well go and sit beside him laying her head on top of his. 

“Siddharthhh…” wanting to cheer him up, she can’t see him in such a bad mood. 

“I just don’t get that what is Dey’s problem. So much does I want to kick him and throw him out of the project.” Siddharth blabbers in anger. 

“So, you can kick me out, I don’t mind.” Dey says staring at Vikas who is looking him in anger. They are present in the hall. 

“Dey for once listen to someone rather then you assuming things. Rashmi herself told that it has nothing to do with Siddharth.” Madurima says getting pissed at Dey. She very well knows that he is the reason for every fight occurring in the set, he always triggers Siddharth to react in a way he wants. 

“I was present when Siddharth and Rashmi was having a conversation, Sid didn’t say anything that was wrong. Aunt called Shehnaaz with that fake news just because Rashmi told her.” Vikas says shocking the people present over there. 

“What? Rashmi? Why will she?” Shehnaaz asks looking at Siddharth with a shock expression while he is laying there with a blank one. 

He closes his eyes not wanting to share that thing with her knowing that it will add on to her insecurities. Shehnaaz as always misinterpret his silence. 

“Because she loves you and she can’t see you along with me, she is possessive regrading you and that was the reason that she took that sleeping pills as she was not getting sleep. You also called her to explain her that you only love her so don’t get jealous of anyone, right?” Shehnaaz asks for which Siddharth opens his eyes and look at her with utter disbelief she really thinks that he loves her? What kind of crazy girl is she? He hardly spends his time with Rashmi the way he spends with her and she still have that doubt? Is she serious? 

“I told you before too that I have no such feeling for her and if you still don’t want to believe then it’s your problem not mine.” Saying so he turns his face and close his eyes in anger. Shehnaaz stares at his back still thinking about their conversation. 

“You mean Rashmi did all this so Shehnaaz can go away from our life and she no longer be hurdle in between Sid and her?” Vishal asks been shock. 

“But what has Shehnaaz to do with Sid not having any feeling for her? I mean even if Shehnaaz was not in our life still Sid never felt anything like that for her. I think she should be thankful to Shehnaaz that due to her he has started talking to us and hanging out with us more or he never did it before. I seriously don’t get her why don’t she understand that love is not getting what you want, love is seeing that person happy. If she really loves him then she should always be thankful of Shehnaaz from bringing that happiness in his life.” Madurima says making Dey to fume in anger seeing the way they are criticizing Rashmi. 

“Seriously! Madurima you been a girl is supporting a guy who played with her feelings? How can you be such a coward just because you can’t fight with him, you’re putting all the blame on that girl who is like a friend to you?” Dey is questioning her making Aarthi to speak on her behalf. 

“I don’t think that Madurima is telling anything wrong. I understand that she loves Sid and nothing is wrong in it, you often start having feelings for someone. But when you get to know that the other one doesn’t share such feeling; you should try to move on. I know it is difficult but you should try at least but she is not trying it too.” Aarthi says glancing once at Rashmi who is listening to them. 

Rashmi is standing there her face blank while lots of thoughts revolving in her mind, she is lost in her own miseries.

Shehnaaz sitting on one of the chair with a pout on her face staring at Siddharth who is busy discussing some scene with Vikas some distance away from her. Madurima who just comes there sees the view in front of her and go and sit beside Shehnaaz with a smile on her face. 

“Why I do feel that you both fought again?” Madurima says staring at the direction she is looking. 

“We didn’t fight but he is angry on me for invalid reason.” Her pouts become bigger making Madurima to look at her in awe and pull her cheek. 

“And may I know what is that invalid reason according to you?” Madurima asks her while she rubs her cheeks with a sad face. 

“That I said Rashmi did all this because she is jealous seeing our togetherness. I can understand any girlfriend will be, I mean I too will be. I also understand that they want to keep it hidden so he or she is not saying it aloud. She might be angry on him so he wanted to talk with her alone yesterday but still her anger didn’t substile, the reason of her morning behavior.” Shehnaaz says making Madurima amazed and to later face palm herself. 

“Are you serious? And you said this all to Siddharth and you still except that he doesn’t be angry.” Madurima shakes her head in disbelief, while Shehnaaz look at her with innocence not knowing why is she saying those words. “Shehnaaz you really think that Sid likes Rashmi? I agree that celebrities want to keep privacy but from their behavior you get to know that whether they feel anything like such or not. Did you ever saw any such feeling in Sid’s eye when he looks at Rashmi? Did you ever seen them spending time with each other? Anyone would have got angry on knowing what you said. Shehnaaz I know that you know very well that Sid don’t explain himself the reason that often people misinterpret his action. The way Dey behaves and been an actor he has seen people judging him in every single step so he has stopped explaining himself.” This makes Shehnaaz to listen to her carefully. 

“I don’t know him personally but have worked with him. You have seen him in staring days, hardly coming out spending time with rest. Hardly smiling or laughing you’re the one who taught him to laugh and smile, it because of you that we see a separate Siddharth today. And about Rashmi she does love Sid but I can assure you that he doesn’t have such feeling for her. About the conversation, you’re correct it was due to her insecurities regrading you. She felt that you’re taking him away which is not like that at all as he never was hers to take him away from her. And about the pills that has some other personal reason, so you don’t worry about it. Now I think it will be better that you talk to him about it.” Shehnaaz nodes and give her a ‘I made a big blunder’ look.  

“I think he is going to show me lot of attitude today.” Saying so she gets up from the sit making her way towards him making Madurima to smile, she is surely a kid. 

Shehnaaz is moving towards him but Rashmi comes in her way making Shehnaaz to fake a smile and to move but she stops her. 

“Shehnaaz I want to talk to you.” Rashmi says making Shehnaaz to look at her with blank expression, “I know that by now you might have got to know that I was the one who did all this and maybe you will be hating me at the moment. I am really sorry,” holding both her ears making Shehnaaz to melt a little. “I didn’t want to hurt you but had turn selfish I agree. I was thinking about me and for that I hurt you. You might have been still be in that hell if your uncle had not opened his mouth, I was responsible for all the trouble you and your brother had to face, if ever possible do forgive me.” She says staring in her eyes with guilty eyes making Shehnaaz to feel sad for her. 

“Its fine Rashmi.” She says with a smile and hugs her making Rashmi also happy, she cups Shehnaaz face and plants a kiss on her forehead. 

“You’re really an innocent soul, if I might have been in your place then maybe I myself would not forgive me. You’re really good.” Rashmi says smiling at her. 

Shehnaaz remembers Madurima word that she takes sleeping pills due to her some personal problem, she thinks that it is a very good opportunity to ask her about it. “Rashmi if you don’t mind, I want to ask you something,” Rashmi nodes and Shehnaaz continuous. “Why you take that sleeping pills?” Listening to it Rashmi face gets sad but soon she smiles and says. 

“In my life I never received love from anyone not even my own parents. I was only daughter in the family and they felt that I was a burden, they didn’t want me to be actor as it would defame their name. I was never got to live the life I wanted, the reason that when I saw you been torture from your aunt and uncle, I could see me in you. Though I was not torture like you, but I too was deprived from the life I wanted so I left my house and family. Thinking that been actor will give me happiness, it did too but only for few days. I enjoyed this frame for only for few days then I started feeling lonely those sleeping pills are for me to sleep as often in night I can feel that loneliness that deprive me from my sleep. You know Sana that lot always think that money and frame is everything sometime you just need that arms in which you can sleep peacefully forgetting all your worries. I saw you taking my last hope from me and that was the reason I did all this.” She says wiping off her tears seeing it Shehnaaz feels bad for her and gives her a hug this is seen by Siddharth. Who fumes more in anger seeing Shehnaaz again believing the person who has all planned to turn her life hell. He is not able to hear their conversation but only see the view.

Siddharth in his room, his eyes closed and laying on the couch. His mind occupied with his own thoughts when he feels a touch on his cheeks and he knows well who the person is but he is angry on her so he doesn’t open his eyes. 

“Siddharthhh… please talk to me.” Comes Shehnaaz sweet melodious voice, her hands slowly caressing his hairs. He is ignoring her as he first of all has been mad on her for thinking that he loves that Rashmi and on top of coming and pacifying him the way she always does; he sees her talking to that Rashmi. How should he behave? “At least tell me why you’re angry on me?” This statement he hates the most as after doing everything she comes and ask him with so much innocence that he can’t help but melt down but today he is not going to melt down so easily. 

Shehnaaz is kneeling in front of the couch staring at his face with a pout, till how long is he planning to be angry? Why can’t he stop been angry on her for all small things? “I know I did foolishness thinking that you love Rashmi but anyone will misunderstand, right? And Deepak too told me that even he felt that you might have been secretly dating each other.” Listening to this Siddharth fumes in anger, he is surely not going to leave that Deepak. “Now why you have to show so much attitude?” Shehnaaz says making faces as she too is getting annoyed seeing his tantrums. 

“Now you too will have same mindset about me like the people you talk to.” Siddharth says his eyes still closed. 

“With whom I talked? I didn’t even look at Dey, I promise. I didn’t talk to him as you didn’t want me too.” She says pinching her throat. 

Siddharth opens his eyes and narrows at her. “I never stop you from talking to anyone. You can talk with anyone you want,” He says again closing his eyes while she stares it at open mouth. 

“If you don’t mind then why are you angry then?” She asks her hands still on his cheeks and on listening to this question Siddharth pushes her hand off having no reply to her question which pisses him more. He is in a such a trap that neither can he knows to confess his feelings nor he knows to deny it. (baata na bhi nahi aata jata bhi nahi aata) 

Seeing him pushing her hand away, Shehnaaz again tries to touch him. “Siddharthhh…” she is interrupted by someone. 

“You’re call for the next shot.” Siddharth on realizing that it is not Shehnaaz voice he opens his eyes and stare at Shehnaaz with wide eyes only to find her turning back and staring at someone on the door. Seeing it Siddharth eyes goes in that direction only to find Aarthi standing on the door. 

“You’re call for the shoot and Vikas wants you urgently.” Aarthi says once again making Siddharth to node and she moves from there. He then glances at Shehnaaz who is staring at him with a pout. 

“She just calls you once and you opened your eyes and sat straight from so long I am calling you out but you are ignoring me. Why is that so? You have no interest in me?” She asks glaring him. 

“Correct! From when you turned so smart?” Giving a slight slap on her cheek, “you got it right. I have no interest in you.” Saying so he moves from the room keeping a sad Shehnaaz over there. 

“Do he really have no interest in me?” She asks herself pouting. 

//

After the shoot, in the break time Siddharth has been ignoring Shehnaaz but she has been trying to gain his attention. Finally giving up she goes and sit on one of the chair pouting. Vishal comes and sit beside her too having a sad face, she glances at him for once and again stares at Siddharth who is busy talking to rest as if he is not missing him at all.  

“What happened to you? Why are you sad?” Shehnaaz asks him. 

“She is angry on me and not ready to talk to me.” Vishal says looking at the same direction but looking at Madurima. 

“I just don’t get what is their problem, why they get angry so easily?” Shehnaaz says shaking her head in annoyance. 

“Maybe they like seeing us sad.” Vishal says for which Shehnaaz nodes. 

“They love making us sad and enjoying with others while we are sitting here been sad.” Shehnaaz says making a pout. “Vishal do you too feel like everything is dull when she doesn’t talk to you?” She asks wanting to know that whether she is the only one who feels like that. 

“Yeah I feel like nothing is worthful if she is not beside me.” Listening to it Shehnaaz glance at him with a smile as she feels the same. 

“And you want to pacify her in any way possible, you can go to any extent to make her talk to you.” Shehnaaz looks at him and Vishal nodes in agreement. 

“Sometime you just want to carry her in your arms and take her away from all making her to force to talk to you.” Vishal says making Shehnaaz to giggle and he looks at her with raised eyebrow why is she laughing? 

“Do you think she will leave you if you carry her and took her from here, she will shower all her chappals on you.” With that she laughed out loud gaining everyone attention who has been discussing some scenes. 

Siddharth fumes in jealousy seeing her laughing with Vishal, if not Dey then Vishal can’t she sit quiet for a time being. She somehow manages to make him jealous, more than her he is angry on Vikas and glaring him why he has to bring so many male in the set, the entire staff is of male! 

“Vikas didn’t you made a rule that there should be no noise on the set?” Siddharth asks glaring at Shehnaaz and concentrating back on the script. 

“Shehnaaz you know about the rule, right?” Vikas says in a scolding manner but soon smiles, “that rule has been broken by you on your first day of shoot. Do you remember whose acting you did on that day?” he says having a mischievous smile and knowing well that Siddharth is angry on her. The moment Siddharth hears it, he glares at Vikas but he is looking everywhere but not towards him. He doesn’t want to be prey of that angry lion. “Why don’t you do it again?” Knowing well what outcomes he has to face afterwards but anything to see Shehnaaz happy. 

“Wow! Yeah please Shehnaaz do it!” comes one more voice and soon all are forcing her to do. Shehnaaz gets up glancing once at Siddharth who is not at all looking at her. 

She ties her hair in a bun, acts as if looking in the mirror and fixing her hair moving her hand in a manner Siddharth moves. Touching her thumb near her nostrils and tilting her head a little. “Vikas didn’t you made a rule that there should be no noise on the set?” Saying in the same stern manner he spoke a moment a ago looking at Vikas. Making the rest to broke into a huge laughter, Siddharth too soon break into a slight smile but soon enough cover it with a stern face when he finds Shehnaaz looking at him. 

“Shehnaaz you’re damn fab!” Vishal says praising her. 

“She can be a wonderful actress.” Dey comments with a his intense graze on her making Siddharth to fume in anger seeing Shehnaaz smiling on that comment. 

With anger he gets up from his chair and goes to move when Shehnaaz comes and stand in front of him stopping him to take any further step. Siddharth is trying to push her away but Shehnaaz tightly hugs him not giving him any chance to move. 

“Shehnaaz move away, let me go.” Seeing everyone staring at them. 

“No! I won’t, please talk to me.” She says raising her head and looking at him who is too staring at her with stern look. “I promise I won’t talk to anyone but only you, please talk to me. Please.” She says again hiding her face in his chest making him to calm a little. 

“I love you please talk to me.” She whispers making Siddharth and rest to listen it as her whispers are also loud. 

Listening to it some are having a mischievous teasing smile; some are amazed but happy too and remaining fuming in anger and some in jealously. The only person who is shock and staring at Shehnaaz with surprise is the person to whom she confesses it that to in front of everyone, how should he react now?
