    Sidharth leaned against arcade's basket ball game machine on which Zain was playing with amna and maham. His arms folded across chest and intense gaze fixed on Shehnaaz who was bowling with Aryaan across them and laughing with joy each times she wins against him

"Nahiii!" Zain shouted as he lost again and sat down on floor holding his head with sullen expression because maham was now giving him looks and laughing at him

"Zyda overconfident horahe the na ap acha hua apke sath" She smiled returning to play game. He scoffed getting up again

"Yeh machine kharab hai!" He blamed perfectly fine machine for his lose. Amna rolled her eyes and collected tickets they won just to rush over another game

"Sure." Maham said sarcastically and passed cold drink she had to her elder brother who was standing just few feet away. He shook his head and made his way towards bowling side, Zain watched him while standing close to maham

   Shehnaaz bend down to take another bowling ball, she felt his intimidating presence behind her, she can tell who's he just by his aura, she watched his veiny hand with shinny silver watch wrapped around wrist grabbing ball as well. She turned her head around instantly, her heart skipped a beat and she suck in breath, because her face was inches away from his. He shifted his cold gaze from ball to her when she turned

    She felt as if time has stoped when he gazed into her eyes, coldness replacing with something she didn't recognise. His eyes dropped on her lips, her heart beat rise up, she slowly slid down from him since now he was hovering. She awkwardly passed him smile before trying to rush towards Aryaan who didn't even notice anything because of him being so much focused on amna

"Aryaa-" He walked away immediately to where amna was standing. Shehnaaz stand there nervously, she can feel his gaze burning holes in her head

"You won't cry today?" His deep voice made her turn around to look at him

"Jee?" She was confused

"Tum roti ho mujhe dekh kar so I was just wondering why haven't you cried today" He said casually rolling ball into pit

"M-mein apko dekh kar nahi roti" She denied

"So why did you shudder?" He asked

    She opened her mouth to say something but nothing came out of her mouth. She doesn't know what to say now, His eyes shifted back on hers and she was already looking at him, his heart did flip because she was looking at him with so much emotions in those beautiful eyes of hers, as if she wants to tell him manny things but she's holding back for his sake

"Pink kyun pasnad hai tumhe?" He randomly asked acting cool looking down at her clothes. She was taken aback by his sudden random question, she looked down at her clothes as well and tucked strand of hair behind her ear

"Koi reason nahi hai ese he pasnad hai mujhe bachpan se" She answered in low voice. He almost didn't hear her

"It doesn't suits you" He said bluntly expecting offended reaction instead she smiled slightly sitting on bench with hands either side gripping bench underneath

"I don't believe you kyun ke kisi ne mujhe kaha tha everything looks pretty if I'm wearing it" She said, his expression relaxed from frown as they had eye-contact

"Is that so?" He grew closer

    She nodded her head smile still there remembering message he send her after he saw her trying new sandals. He stands in front of her, she looked at him through her lashes, her smile slowly fading thinking he doesn't remember it and thought brought tears in her eyes

"You are crying again" He pointed out staring into her glassy eyes

    She didn't say anything nor looked away from him, he passed her white napkin that he took out from pocket of his pants, she took it and wiped corner of her eyes while looking away but he didn't looked away from her

"O'captain!"

    Both of them turn head at loud voice. It was his friend armaan and Murtaza with Zain waving at him with grins. Sidharth walked towards them while Shehnaaz also followed since she wanted to play games with maham, she put napkin in her purse. She's not giving him back

"Hi Shehnaaz" Murtaza smiled at young girl who waved at him before returning her attention back on gaming machine

    He turned to glance at Sidharth who was looking at him already and Murtaza's soul left his body until he realised he doesn't remember memories with her which caused boy to let out breath. If he hadn't lost memory, they were warned not to even look in her way let alone smile. Boys moved towards bowling away from girls

"Finally mujhe mr khan ki call recordings mil gayi hain but there is no links" Murtaza spoke taking out usb to give sidharth

   Five of them have made plan about investigating this accident. There were two suspects in their mind. Mr khan and interior minister who's son sidharth send to comma. Murtaza with help of his father got internship at Mr khan's company to take out his personal information and cctvs while armaan who's father was already minister in same party as interior minister joined party officially to have dinner at their place and try to steal info

    Sidharth has played this engagement play to get into house of mr khan according to their plans but he also didn't find anything related his accident. Zain tried to woo elder sister of moiz. They want to be everywhere but sneakily

"Guess what?" Zain smirked coming forward with his phone waving in air. Sidharth looked at him with bored expression while others roll eyes at his overacting

"Hum koi magician nahi hai jo pata chal jaye" Aryaan scowl

"Isko group se nikalo yaar vibe kharab krdeta gau puri meri!" Zain grown

"Achaa ab tum batao kya mila?" Armaan asked blinking at Aryaan who rolled his eyes and decided to not snap at him

"I went through fiza's phone yesterday aur bhencode mastermind toh wo nikli" He laughed in disbelief, he was in utter shock at moment since girl appears really innocent

"What do you mean?" Sidharth asked

"Ek chat parha WhatsApp pe it wasn't her phone she uses but yeh koi secret phone tha, she had pictures of your car's number plate send to that person also transaction proof bhi the. 20 lac" He told them

"Bas 20 lac?" Sidharth scoffed. He's worth way more than that

"Same reaction!" Zain said

"Guys that's not what we should discuss right now" Aryaan butt in. "Tumnhe proofs liye?" He asked Zain

"Bro pura phone lekr aya hoon" Zain showed him phone

"Great we will hand over this to police-"

"That's where you are wrong" Sidharth cut him off coldly "I'm not letting her just rot in jail. Mein uski zindagi jahanum mein tabdel karunga" There was hint of devil in his eyes

"Bhai le-"

"What lekin?" Sidharth dared him to say anything else. Aryaan shut his mouth and sinked into bench further

"So what's plan?" Zain asked excitedly

"Yeh mein khud karunga so there is no plan" Sidharth said

"Fine." Zain groan

    Shehnaaz gasped losing game against 10 year old small boy who smirked. She pouted pinching his cheeks, she groan rubbing his chubby cheeks. She smiled at him who rolled his eyes. Such a spoiled brat he is

"Kis ke sath aye ho ap?" Shehnaaz asked him resting elbow over machine and chin on palm as she looks at cutie playing game with mix expressions

"Muma ke sath" He answered plainly like some robot

"Kahan hain muma?" Shehnaaz asked

"Shopping" He answered. This playing area was on top floor of dolmen mall "Mein yeh tokens rakh lou?" He asked pointing at tokens coming out of machine

"Rakhlo." She nodded

"Shukhriya" He thanked her. She smiled boy do have some manners

"Apka naam kya hai?" 10 year old asked pushing those all tokens in pocket of his hoodie

"Sana" She told him "Yours?" She asked

"Zorawer rasheedi" He told her and offered some tokens

   She smiled and take them even tho she won't need it. He waved bye before leaving from there because she saw him running towards woman and hugging her which she assumed is mother of kid name zorawer

"Couldn't win even against small kid?" Sidharth fold arms across his chest standing beside her while facing gaming machine

"He was really good at it" She told him avoiding any eye-contact and bending down to add token in machine for new game to start

"Excuses" Sidharth smirked

   She gulped looking at him through lashes who was smirking down at her before he leaned into her making her gasp. He reached out to add his token in machine which was behind her, his eyes stayed on hers all time. This proximity was way more than just normal, his fingers brushed against her bare arm sending shivers down her spine before he pulled back maintaining distance

"Mere sath khele" He said and this sounds so familiar from his mouth
