"Not even to me? It doesn't matter if someone says anything rubbish about me? It doesn't matter that my feelings for you are taken as publicity stunts? It doesn't, right?" That tears brimming in her eyes, making Siddharth to feel culprit of her condition.

"Sana you're taking it in a wrong way, bro had no knowledge about the media people. We were busy shooting, do you think that he would have left you alone there?" Asim is trying to make Shehnaaz understand, caressing her hair softly.

"And Sid thinks that the entire thing is planned. After seeing the reporters and the way they were asking you questions. I think his doubts are to the point, they did it to hurt you. That person knew your reaction will be such, and what Siddharth will do after seeing it. The thing going in his mind at the moment." Vikas says glancing at Siddharth who is sitting there with a blank expression, deep down blaming himself for the mess.

"What? You think that this article was planned, this is not the work of media but..." Asim interrupts Shehnaaz.

"Mahira? She did it again? Last time it was she who planned the article stuff." Asim points out the facts, "she is best friend of Dey. She might have done it to take revenge after all she doesn't like Sana too. She hardly had talk to her nicely." Glancing at Shehnaaz who nodes in agreement.

"I don't think it's her. She knows him personally from only few months, or earlier they hardly met. What personally problem, she will have with Siddharth? And I don't think that she can help Dey, she doesn't have that big brain. Or she might not have being wasting her time with Paras." Vikas voice out his logic.

"Than who the person will be? Who knows Dey?" Asim is deep thoughts.

"Rashmi..." a mere whisper from Siddharth makes Shehnaaz to glare him with wide eyes.

"Among from all the others, you only remembers Rashmi." Fuming in jealousy, Siddharth appalls listening to it.

"Abey, I was just sharing my doubts. What about Rashmi?" Diverting his graze back to Vikas as Shehnaaz is busy glaring him.

"Rashmi didn't did it. I personally had a talk with her after returning to Mumbai." Narrates the conversation.

##

"I know Vikas, you have still doubt on me. But trust me, I had no hand in Shehnaaz kidnapping. I had no clue about it, you had told be to end all contact with him. Before that too, I had not contacted him. After bailing him through Aarthi, I had met him for once. As I felt commiserated seeing his condition. He was thrown out of the industry and had to stay in jail, I felt that somewhere I was responsible for his that condition. He did it for my happiness. He loved me but I had no such feelings for him. At that moment I understood Siddharth's feelings, I got to know that even removing Shehnaaz from his life. He won't feel anything for me as we can't force the feelings. Trust me, I never contact with him. I didn't even knew that accident was planned by him. When did he turn so cruel, I never knew it." Rashmi wipes a tears, feeling guilty that she is reason for someone destroying her life.

"Than why you didn't open your mouth in hospital, why were you hiding it?" Vikas has a slight doubt still left on her.

"Because Arhaan was present over there. Things are getting back to normal between us, he already envy Siddharth and I didn't wanted to build any doubt in his heart regrading Dey. It won't be easy to move on but I will have to try it." Rashmi despondency makes Vikas feel sad for her.

###

"You think she was speaking the truth?" Siddharth asks in a skeptical manner. Vikas nodes in agreement.

"That makes me to think about Arhaan, what about him? He always tries to trigger him the way caller do?" Asim points out.

"It can't be Arhaan," shaking his head. "He just calls me unlucky and nothing else. Which he might have heard from Rashmi herself as Dey used to call me it. I can assure you, Dey too had no knowledge about the person being caller. He had no clue about my past. Or we would have brought it up long back." Siddharth speaks up.

"Aarthi Singh!" Exclaims Vikas smirking at them. Rest looks at him being curious, Aarthi! Is he serious.

"You think it's Aarthi?" Asim being totally baffle.

"She is Singh like Suraj Singh!" Vikas points out.

"But her dad has being in industry from so many years and he is not Suraj Singh." Asim gives him disbelief look.

"I was just kidding," Vikas winks at them receiving only glares from the two. While Shehnaaz is lost in deep thoughts.

"Paras!" A mere whisper from her after analysing every single aspect. "It's Paras!" She gets excited but only meets with Siddharth glaring eyes.

"Now will you think of someone else than Paras," that jealousy building up in his heart.

"Why should I? When you can think about Rashmi all the time. Can't I think of Paras?" Giving him exasperating look.

"Why only Paras? Think about everyone single guy on this planet. Think about Dey, about Deepak, about Alex and not to forget your handsome. Oh! How can I forget about your Dumbo! Think about everyone expect me." Blurts out Siddharth is annoyance.

"What? Did you just  said? I don't think about you?" Shehnaaz melts down listening to it. She stares at him lovely.

"I said nothing, you ears are ringing." Siddharth denies it out.

"You said it! I heard it," Shehnaaz with a pout gets up from her sofa. Making her way towards him, "who said I don't think about you?" Cupping his face slowly while standing in between his legs.

"Shehnaaz, don't touch me. I don't want to talk to you." Jerking off her hands, "I insults you. You should stay away from me." Pushing her away.

"When I said you insult me?" In a irritating voice, again trying to touch him face. "Don't speak rubbish." Glaring at him, and slowly caressing his face.

"Done!" Giving her a stern look, "now leave!" Making a gesture asking her to leave. She nodes in a negative manner and sits on his lap, planting a kiss on his cheek.

At the same time, Siddharth turns his face planting a kiss on her cheek, Shehnaaz wraps her hand around Siddharth neck making it's way towards his hair. Hiding her face in crook of his neck. Siddharth wraps his hand around her waist holding her properly in his lap.

"So what were we talking about?" Trying to erase the uncomfortable moment. As Vikas and Asim are giving him teasing stares.

"I think about Paras," Asim suggests still that mischeious smile not leaving his face.

"Paras," Vikas minds starts jotting each point in sequel. "Paras as being the person who look Shehnaaz along with him from the Sid vanity van on first day of shoot. The first one who was trying to develop friendship with her. The person who was present when Dey met her in cafe. The one who time again was pointing out Sid's arrogant behavior. The person who had perfect excuse for every single thing. The person who again try to build the thoughts in Shehnaaz mind that Sid don't value her. That reporter coming and asking the same thing, which was shaping in her mind due to Paras conversation just before it. Come on this all can't be co-incidence." Vikas this points makes everyone's mind to lit up.

Shehnaaz who has being in Siddharth arms finally break it off. "But what relation he has with Siddharth?" asks being curious, "why will he call and disturb him for so many years?"

"That we will have to find out, and we will do it soon. But till than he should not at have any doubt that we are after him." Saying so Vikas and Asim moves out of the vanity.

Vikas while opening the vanity door, "now on knock and enter Siddharth vanity, do you get it?" Eyeing at Asim, who nodes getting confuse for which Siddharth is glaring him while Shehnaaz is giggling while blushing.

The moment they left, Shehnaaz cups Siddharth face with both her hand. Showering kiss of his face, while he making irritating faces like a small child. "You're angry on me kullu?" She asks with an innocent voice.

There is no response from the other, "it was your fault. Why didn't you confess it in front of Paras? His whole plan would have fail. I simply got angry on you." Caressing his face softly. He slowly melting in her touch.

"Do you think my confession would made any change? It would have become a headline, our reach and every action is judge my many. Your each action would be in limelight, I don't want you to be piece of controversy. I don't want that the thing which we have between us be headline of newspapers." Pointing finger at both of them, "the thing which I value. I like to keep it scare, only for me." Saying so he pulls her in a hug, "those reporter you will have to deal for life time. If you're going to choose this path." Hiding his face in her hair, smelling the scent which she has.

"I am fine dealing with every reporters and media if I get to stay in your arms as a outcome." She cuddles more into his chest, making a smile pass through Siddharth face. He knows that she is never going to give up on them, never!

//

"Vikas! What's going on? Why you called us here?" Aarthi asks out.

"To tell you all about the person helping Dey in all the plans. The person who has being master mind of all the mess." That words out of his mouth makes a person feel caution. "What happened Paras? Why I feel that you're sweating on listening to it?" Raising a brow.

"Why you always keep on doubting me? Don't you have any other work that that? Why will I help Dey?" Getting enrage.

"Then how come you got to know that Siddharth has not express his feelings to Shehnaaz? Did Rashmi or Aarthi shared it with you?" Eyeing at both of them who nodes in a negative manner.

"So that means, you were the one who knew about every single thing happening in Siddharth life? Can you tell me about Karan Chabra? How can you forget to tell us that you are brother of Karan Chabra?" Vikas gives him skeptical look.

"Karan Chabra? The legend of television industry, who did suicide?" Rashmi sounding outrageous, "Paras he was your brother?"

"The person who was ruling television industry, the person who lost its popularity as Siddharth entered into the industry. The same person who was not able to take his defeat and committed suicide. Am I right, Paras?" This piece of information makes everyone present over there to astonish. They have never thought that Paras has any brother.

"Yeah you are absouletly correct. He was my brother, my best friend and moreover like my father figure. I lost him and the reason was only Siddharth Shukla who was starting to build a name in television industry. I was feeling shattered after losing my brother, but once I heard from one of my mutual friend talking about Siddharth success as from which place he came and now what he is. That made me curious to know about his past, from his help I went to the chawl where he used to stay with his mom. Getting to know some hint of his past, getting to know he has no father. I started irritating him with those calls and it really worked. The news of his arrogance started spreading in industry at times, which due to your contacts never made into newspapers." Paras gives Siddharth and Vikas a contempt look.

"The only way out was build a friendship with someone from industry and for that I had to come in this industry. My contacts was build before I even entered into industry, do you remember Deepak? Yeah the spot boy from your set, he gave me news about the tension building between Dey and Siddharth. The fact that he was trying to kill Shehnaaz for Rashmi and due to that land in jail, his entire career getting destroyed. I knew I got a partner in crime at that moment." Paras smirks saying it out loud.

"The reason you trap Mahira in your plans knowing she shares friendship with Dey. You trap him in tricks, manipulating him. He himself was not aware that you was using him. That reporter idea you shape in his mind. That car news you gave him when you came for Siddharth birthday party planned by me. You were the person who called him in cafe but at the same time having the excuses ready. You planned everything so well, so that no one doubts you. You were the one you build that hate in Mahira's brain regrading Siddharth. You backup plan if ever anyone doubted on Dey has a partner than they will think it's Mahira. But you did foolishness at the last moment." Vikas smirks this time.

"I had a direct conversation with Shehnaaz regrading it." Sounding guilty as his once mistake land him in trouble.

"I had turn insane from last time after seeing my calls no longer triggering him. Siddharth was all calm and the reason was Shehnaaz. I knew as long as Shehnaaz is his life nothing can harm Siddharth. She has become his shield, and I wanted to destroy this shield. The only way left was make her hate Siddharth, I was trying it from first day of shooting. She having lost her memory, I thought it will be easy but seeing her again moving towards him. I had to make Dey again enter in her life, through that premier thing but it didn't affect her. As time was passing by Siddharth was again getting back to normal and I couldn't see it. Again I tried to make her meet Dey in that cafe but again you landed over there, he had to move from there. Dey entered into her house like a neighbor to build trust in her, the plan was to just build a doubt in her heart for you but alas she got her memory back making it worse." Paras has being excepting his whole crime.

"And seeing your whole plans back firing, Sid no longer getting affected by your calls. You came on the war field, finally committing the biggest mistake. Your that one conversation with Shehnaaz and reporters coming at the exact time. Your whole plan got destroyed, the truth is out!" Vikas giving a pleasing look to Siddharth, finally after years the main culprit is found. The one who has being troubling him from so many years with his call is finally trap into his own plan.

Siddharth glance at Shehnaaz who is standing beside him interwinding her fingers with him. While staring at Paras with hate, she is remembering all those moments where Siddharth has harm himself due to his blames. What if she has not enter in his life? Maybe he still has being harming himself. That thought makes her grip on his hand tighter. Siddharth glance at her and slowly rubs his finger on her hand knowing what feelings she is having at the moment.

"You played with my feelings just for your revenge. I always thought that your nature is such, fooling around with other girls. But you really loved me, I never thought that you never had any feelings for me. I was just a pawn for you to reach at your at the king and destroy him. I hate you Paras!" That tears flowing down from Mahira's eyes. While Aarthi and Rashmi consoling her.

"I never expected something like this from you Paras. She always gave you chances just because she feels for you and you played with her feelings." Aarthi repugnant.

"What else you can expect from a person like him?" Asim giving him a glare.

Shehnaaz moves towards Mahira, "he don't deserve your tears."

Mahira looks at her with moist eyes, "I am really sorry. For him I always hate you but he was the one playing with my feelings. I am sorry." Shehnaaz nodes in a negative manner and pulls her for a hug.

"It's not your fault, you really loved him." Caressing her hair softly.

"I don't think I did anything wrong. You destroyed my brothers life and I tried my best to destroy yours. My brother will be proud of me." That smirk on Paras face, making others to look at him with despise. He is not at all guilty.

"Siddharth do you want to say something to him?" Vikas asks seeing Siddharth not speaking a word after revelation.

"He don't deserve my attention, he better send to his deserve place." Vikas smiles listening to it. Siddharth and his savage attitude. With that Vikas dials a call, planning to send him to prison.

//

"Siddharthhh.... for how long are you going to show me attitude now? At least tell me what I did?" Shehnaaz is following Siddharth stamping her feet in annoyance.

Vikas is trying hard to watch his favorite movie with disturbing voice coming from background. Asim on the other hand is enjoying the live movie going in Siddharth place.

"Will they stop fighting? The film is at climax, urgh!" Scowls Vikas glaring once at their direction.

"Vikas I am telling you, you're missing an amazing scene. Just look at them!" Totally enjoying their fighting session. For that he too stares at the direction, leaving his movie in middle.

"Siddharthhh..." holding him by his biceps. "Why are you roaring like a lion? I just ask you to meet Shehbaaz for once?" Giving him a puppy look.

"I am not going to fulfill all your demands, you are not meeting him. Don't forget that I have not forgive you still for that coma act of yours." With that he goes and sit on the sofa beside Asim and Vikas.

"What was my fault in it? It was dadu's idea, he was the one who planned it." She trying to pacify him.

"Dadu! Seriously, I am not going to leave dadu for it. I was in verge of getting at attack after listening to it. Who plans this nonsense things? Sana going to coma, it so horrible even to imagine!" That despondency face of Asim on going back through the feeling when he has heard about it from dadu. That feeling he never want to experience again in his life.

"Aww Dumbo!" She stares at Asim is adorable way, "do you love me so much?" Moving towards him and pulling his cheeks.

"Chudail! Don't tell me that you have finally fall into my charm." Moving his fingers in his hairs in a stylish manner.

"I won't ever fall for you Dumbo," slapping him slightly. She then glance at Siddharth who is giving her blank stare. She has being placating Siddharth not Asim, face palming herself. She moves towards him but he makes his way inside his room.

//

"Siddharthhh..." she whines seeing him laying on the bed. She place her head on his chest, "don't be angry with me. Please talk to me." In her cute baby voice.

"I am not angry on you," he slowly caresses her hair.

"Than why you moved in? Upon seeing me with Asim. That day too you was angry on me as I was laughing on Asim joke. That we did just for you to realize your feelings, I have heard you confessing your feelings in hospital but I knew you will never say it out loud. So I shared it with Asim and than he came up with a plan of jealousy." She blurts out being her innocent self seeing him turning angry. 

"That means this everything was planned by Asim?" He asks getting desperate, she raise her eyes and nodes in agreement.

With that he gets up from the bed, Shehnaaz is staring at him being confuse. What is he upto? Soon he makes his way out of the room.

"Asim you were the one who came up with the plan of bringing Paras in the conversation. You made her to call him?" That furious eyes staring at that fear stricken eyes on listening to Siddharth furious voice.

"Bro!... I will explain it to you, bro!" Asim slowly gets up from the sofa preparing himself to ran.

"What will you explain bro?" Imitating his voice. Chasing him while Asim trying all possible way to escape from his anger.

Vikas being totally baffle seeing what is happening? Shehnaaz comes and sit beside him with a pout. Instead of talking to her, he is busy chasing Asim.

"What is happening?" Vikas asks moving his entire concentration on Asim and Siddharth, forwarding the popcorn bowl to Shehnaaz. Enjoying the view in front of him.

"God knows!" Shrugging her shoulder.

"Bro just once listen to me.." finally getting into Siddharth grip. That strong hold makes him imbalance and he lands on the floor. Siddharth is kicking him, near his back.

"What the hell! Was it? You were trying to play with me Asim? Seriously bro!" Punching his face sitting on his stomach.

"Bro it is paining man! Please stop." He gasping with pain.

Finally Siddharth gets up from him and offering him a hand and with its help, Asim stands up holding his cheek and back with pain.

//

Shehnaaz slowly touches Asim face who has close his eyes, after suffering the punches.

"Oww!" Asim screams up, "what are you doing Sana? It is paining." Glaring her.

"I brought ice pack, apply it." Handing it to him while narrowing her eyes.

Taking the ice pack, "why on the earth did you told Siddharth about it? Did you see my condition?" Applying the ice bag slowly.

"I will say it is much better or what the thing you did you deserve worse than this." Vikas comes there giving hi-fi to Shehnaaz while she giggles listening to it.

"Never in my life I am going to help you Sana." Annoys seeing the way they are making fun of him.

"Don't say like that Dumbo! You're the best." She is going to touch his cheeks but he halts her in mid way.

"I got it! Don't dare to  touch." Showing her a hand.

"Did Sid agreed to take you to Punjab?" Vikas asks getting serious.

"Who is going Punjab and why?" Asim sounds furious on mentioning it. "I have already warn you that you're not going to meet him. Sana why don't to understand that he is not safe for you, why can't you forget him?" Asim asks sounding irritated seeing her ranting about meeting Shehbaaz.

"He is my brother and I can't forget him that easy." Shehnaaz gives out stern look on listening to it.

"Shehnaaz do you know, from the moment you lost your memory. Shehbaaz has being staying with Siddharth. He has been not able to take care of him properly so he kept Meera as his caretaker. He used to always find some time from his busy schedule for him, so he doesn't feel left out. Staying with him, he used to feel that you were beside him. During those three months where he didn't even get to see one glance of you. He used to take care of him you know why? Because you life did exist in him. Siddharth knew it, do you think it is that easy to forgive that person who has taken you away from him for three months? Is it that easy to forgive that person who wanted to kill you?" Vikas makes Shehnaaz to think practically.

"But he is my brother how can't I forgive him?" Shehnaaz pouts.

"He is the same person who made you to stay back on listening about your coffee date with Paras. That time he had no idea that Paras is culprit, do you think he will let you meet Shehbaaz? Who tried to harm you? Just once put you in his place, will you ever be able to forgive Paras for the pain he gave to Siddharth? Just ask it to yourself." Vikas pats her shoulder and soon Asim and Vikas move out of the house.

Leaving Shehnaaz in deep thoughts.
"She won't ever forgive Paras for troubling Siddharth than how can she expect Siddharth to do it?"

//

Siddharth enters inside the house, closing his door behind. Only to be welcome by darkness. He gets suspicious as Shehnaaz is a person who gets scared of darkness and she staying in darkness is next to impossible.

He makes his way towards their room getting curious also feeling restless. Hope she is fine. He opens the door and switch on the light, but finds her nowhere. Where is she?

Getting some dangerous thoughts in his mind. He is going to call Vikas when his eyes lands on the window. There is she sitting in the garden, making him restless over here. Will she ever act mature?

Getting infuriate with her behavior, he makes his way towards the garden. Getting out of his flat, moving downstairs. He has being in full mood to scold her but the moment his eyes lands on that glowing face of hers which is shining more due to the moon light falling on it. He melts down.

He takes few step towards her, sitting beside her. On the bench from which she is grazing at the moon. That lips turn upward into a smile, she is adoring the beauty of the moon while Siddharth is adoring her beautiful face.

Shehnaaz glance at him once and than again fix her graze back on moon. "Siddharthhh... That day when I came to in your flat, during my memory loss. You didn't allow me in because Shehbaaz was staying with you, right?" He gets surprise listening to it.

Why all of sudden she is asking it? Not getting any response from the other side, she looks at him. "That was the reason making an excuse you move in. You didn't came to drop me too, Vikas was angry on me for that particular reason. He was faking it so I don't act stubborn and land into the flat where Shehbaaz was present. A fear that it might affect my health. Why do you all love me so much?" Her innocent question and Siddharth have no answer for it.

She leans on his shoulder, resting her head on his chest. His hands wrap around her waist, both grazing at the moon.

"Why you didn't let me to see your phone that day?" The question which has being in her mind from so many days.

"Because I had save your name with moti and you had no knowledge about it at that moment." Siddharth speaks up, erasing that doubt out from her mind. "And there were many pictures in the gallery of yours, clicked by you. The only partners in my sorrows." That makes Shehnaaz to look at him with a sad pout.

"I really made you to face many things, I am sorry." Holding both her ears.

"You're not to blame for it. It was the game of destiny." Giving her a sad smile, remembering all the pain.

Shehnaaz face too turns sad and not able to see it Siddharth diverts the topic. "Hey, look there!" Pointing out at the moon. "What can you see?" He asks her out.

She tilts her head in a manner to see it, so does Siddharth tilts his head. Touching both at the corner and grazing at the moon. "Kya?" (What?) She asks getting curious.

"Ek ankh, ek nak aur ek kiss karta hua chehra. (One eye, one nose and a kissing face). That makes Shehnaaz to look at Siddharth being astonish.

"Seedhe seedhe bol na kiss chahiye, (directly tell that you want kiss) giggling and covering her face with palm. "Ek ankh, ek nak aur ek kiss karta hua chehra." Imitating his tone, and trying to run from him seeing his glaring graze.

"Moti! Just stop there." Chasing her, she giggling seeing his annoyed face.

"Won't!" Running while giggling hard.

Koi Mujhko Yun Mila Hai
