They wished each other leaving the lantern in air... leaving the fears and negativities with it... asking for strength to cherish what they got in every situation... asking for each other's and everyone's happiness. They didn't asked anything for their relation,as their presence was the only thing which they wished for... rest all they were determined to do on their own.

They kept looking at the lantern going up and up and up joining the rest... And as they looked at the wider picture, they looked at the sky full of light, full of hopes, full of wishes which in return was making the earth full of laughter, giggles and smiles... The beautiful sky looks promising... promising that it will not let anyone lead towards darkness... Shehnaaz had every possible sort of emotions going on inside but more of everything she felt her life so full... She looked down at their hands which were still entwined and then looked back up... she felt like blessings being showered on this togetherness... And she leaned on his shoulder telling him to hold her as she was busy in holding her insides which were doing up and down with so many uncalled emotions.

They separated soon as this was definitely not the time and they moved forward wishing everyone.

" Bhai log !!! New year ki bring in ke liye itna naache... ab aagaya hai to nahi naachna kya ??? " Vardaan cheered and not waiting for anyone's response Shreya started the music.

Everyone was back to the center area to dance. Shehnaaz was pulled by Niti... Not that it was needed... She would have gone on her own a little later owing to how happy she was... Forget last time, she doesn't even think if she got to be this happy ever in life... so why wouldn't she make this fact the best with everything she could do...

She started dancing her heart out and could clearly feel Sidharth's gaze on her... She looked at him and saw him standing at a side looking at the people dancing. She knew his conservative, cautious & restrained side... Dancing, enjoying, being carefree seems quite difficult to him... But she wanted him to enjoy, she wanted him to be carefree.. atleast now, she wanted him to have as many as possible memories of their another first... their first beautiful new year... She knew it was so crazy to decide and believe things on each other's behalf... Without a word being actually spoken they had each and every answer for each other's feelings... on the basis of assumptions... assumptions out of their actions. She shrugged every thought and went to him and pulled him with her... He denied with words but didn't made a bit of restraint physically to stop her... Because even he wanted to dance... with her... looking at her he always wished to be like her... to live moments like her... with her he had started thinking about his own happiness tooo... she makes him do that...and she doesn't let him take efforts to live moments... she makes him do that so naturally... She herself gets into that moment and lives it with him... Little did he knew that he was doing the same to her...Just like she takes out this hidden side out of him which wants to live every moment, in the same way his presence was making her take out so many sides out of herself...

And looking Sidharth with them, Everyone hooted in excitement.. And within few minutes, Sidharth was drawn into form... He was dancing his heart out... He was crazily happy and this time, more than anything the reason was his own happy, carefree self which he was loving to the core.

They danced with every ounce of energy in them, from copying every hook step to nagin dance on dard-e-disco , from govinda style to making their each and every Bollywood cell in their body work crazily, they did every possible thing crazily..

After two good, crazy and exhausting hours, Maa stopped them as she knew they won't feel enough anytime soon.

" Khana khao ab... ek baj ke gaya.. " Maa scolded them dragging them to side one by one and making them sit forcefully like kids...

As they sat, Sidharth while sipping water burst out in laugh looking at Varun, Raghav & Vardaan who was still dancing and Maa was going to bring them too...

" Bina piye itne pagal hogaye socho peeke kya hota !! " Ankush said being wondered at their craziness which crossed levels this time...

Maa came with Vardaan who was still not in mood to stop.

Varun & Raghav already ate and were still dancing.

" Uthke lo apni apni plate wo itne saro ke liye kaise laayegi... " Maa said while going away as she saw Shehnaaz getting up..

" Mai le aata hu... " Pintu said.

" Nahi Pintu baith ja... Le lenge ham... " Sidharth said denying him.

Everyone got up but Sidharth held Shehnaaz's hand and pulled her swiftly making her sit on the chair besides her...

" Baith jaaa.. Mai laata hu... " Sidharth said getting up.

He smacked Ankush and Vardaan's head making them look at him...

" Baith jao vapis... le aayenge ham... bahaut majdoori ki hai tumne... " He said pushing them back.

They all came back with each plate filled completely...

" Sath me kha lo... isse zada ummeede nahi... " Shreya said keeping her plate on the table.

Sidharth without any second thought went to Shehnaaz keeping his plate in front of her and jumped on the food...

" Shreya yrrr sab oily oily laayi hai tu " Vardaan whined.

" Aap mere sath aajao... " Niti said to Vardaan and Vardaan was amused as how come Shreya didn't said anything.

_____________________________________

" Abi mereko maaloom pada Sidharth itna exceptionally attach kaise hai apni family se.... Your children are Beautiifulll !! God bless them " D'Costa aunty said smilingly sitting at a distance with Maa and Sarita ji.

Maa smiled at her words looking fondly at her children who were eating together with banters... They were enough for each other... They don't need the world.

" And the new addition tooo... " D'Costa aunty said making Maa look at her.

" She's soooo pure !!! " Aunty said stressing her words.

" She's like a magic happened to us.. " Maa said.

" I told Sidharth the same when he came with her at our house... I'm so happy to know that this side of Sidharth exists... He is different now... inexplicably different. " Aunty said smilingly.

" Maa chale ??? " Sidharth said coming close to them.

" Haa chalte hai.. late ho gaya hai.. " Maa said getting up.

" Come Beautiful !! We'll drop you.. Where's Uncle ?? ." Sidharth asked D'Costa aunty.

" We are staying here.. My husband is already asleep inside I guess. " Aunty replied chuckling.

They bid bye to all and left...

Sidharth, Shehnaaz, Ankush, Shreya & Varun were together in Car.

" Sana your necklace is so pretty yrrr... Why don't you wear it regularly ?? " Shreya asked suddenly and Shehnaaz's hand automatically reached to her neck hiding the mark even when she knew she had hided it.

" Ab pehnungi... " Shehnaaz replied and a sudden smile appeared on Sidharth's face and he looked out of the window to hide it.

They reached and others moved up not noticing anything around as they were hell tired. Shehnaaz waited for Sidharth to park the car... As he came, they started moving towards the lift....

She was thinking about her day... She now knew what she missed all these years... But she wasn't even feeling bad  if this was the reimbursement... She just couldn't get enough of adoring this family and she was always made to feel like she belonged to it... She realized how her festivals and occasions turned from being completely meaningless to carrying every beautiful meaning.

She didn't realized when she forgot to take her steps forward and she stopped. He turned towards her and raised his eyebrows questionably. Her eyes were already saying a lot..

" Naaaz !!! " he called her to gain her attention. She didn't knew how to say... what to say... what was going in her mind... whether to wonder over the new things she was feeling... or to thank him... or to adore him for being incredibly unreal.

" Tu kya kar raha hai Sidharth ?? " she asked in a quite complaining tone.

He fell silent on her words as he didn't knew what exactly he did wrong... Was she talking about the advancements they were taking ?? He didn't even for a second wanted to think of that... Did he misunderstood all this while ?? Half of his mind still calling him stupid yet half was back into the overthinking zone... He didn't knew what he was supposed to feel.

" I'm sorry... I'm really sorry... !! " He said as a reflex but not knowing if he actually meant that... Because he has felt that moment... he has felt both of their passions time and again... it was such a beatiful moment of them... and his heart was just not ready to accept that he did wrong.

" Chup karja !! " She said as soon as she realized that he misunderstood and for what he was being sorry about.

" Hamare beech ki har cheez me hamesha ham dono hai... itna bhi samajh nahi aaya abi tak tujhe...?? " she actually complained this time... and he huffeda and his half mind mocked the other half..

" Nahi... to tu aise bolegi to aur kya lagega... Acha bol to kya baat hai ?? kya Kiya Maine ?? " He asked not telling himself clearly not to run his brain.

" M...Mujhe aadat pad rahi hai Sidharth... " She said as if it was his fault and looked up at him...

" Shayad pad chuki hai... Ye sab.. TU.. saaans lene se bhi zaruri ho raha hai... " She said in a heavy voice.

He felt amazed as how clearly she just voiced out what she was feeling... She told him in a sentence how he makes her feel... she told him a sentence that she was getting addicted to him just like he was... she told him in a sentence that she didn't wanted to lose him just like him...

He pulled her to himself making her stand between his legs and himself standing against a Car bonnet.

" To usme kuch galat hai ??? " He asked cupping her face and bending his face down.

" Pata nahi.... " She replied letting out a heavy breath nodding her head to left and right but looking down.

He understood her state totally. He knows what's lacking... He knows her fear...

" Naaz ! Idhar dekh... Look at me baby !! " He said still cupping her face and making her looking up.

She looked at him and he looked back deeper... trying if she could read them, if that was a possible thing.

" 'BATANA' Mushkil Hai Mere Liye... Isliye 'JATAKE' bharpaai karta hu... " He said slowly looking deep into her eyes.

" Tera Mera jo hai na wo mai kabhi bolke nahi bata paunga... Is hadd ka wo sab... kuch shabd bolke bhale hi naam mil jaaye hamare beech jo kuch hai use... par mai daayre nahi baandhna chahta... wo shabd jitna samjha payenge usse bahaut zada hai ye... Itna samajh le ki.. wo sab.. jiske baare me sochna bhi zaruri nhi samajhta tha kabhi... wo sab ab mere sapne ban gaye hai... Ab bahaut kuch chahta hu mai life se... aur wo sab tere sath chahta hu. Tera hath pakad kar wo sab sapne jeene hai mujhe... " He was speaking and his heart was pounding listening to his own words.

He never even played these words in his mind... Although, he never even got the time to... His words were creating a havoc inside him as he realized what his words about future would be picturized like. He wondered how come these words were coming out because if these things had ever crossed his mind, it wouldn't be affecting him like what they were doing...  But he knows one thing... She was his constant.. his life... So the words were more than true... His mind may not have acknowledged those thoughts so they were coming straight out of heart.. He wondered considering how bad he was with words but he just now gave these words to his feelings... Instead of telling what she was.. he claimed his life... his further journey to her.

She kept looking at him... Once again he  made her doubtful if she was sleeping... She struggled a lot initially to convince herself of the place she held her in his life... She knew everything, she could feel everything but her distrust on her fate was not letting her to be confident on her assumptions but this man time and again... cleared everything in his own ways. This man took her out of that zone where she couldn't beleive herself to be loveable. This man whom she loves crazily didn't ever said that he loved her... but he showed it everytime in a way that she left her dizzy with happiness. 

Unable to control her jumping heart she jumped over hugging him tightly. He held her tightly holding her waist, a tight grip over her with a tight hold against him.

" Tu sab kuchh hai mera... Sabbb kucchhh... " She confessed without thinking once and made him frown as he thought that she aced again.

" To ab kuch batane ki zarurat hai ?? "

" Tera jatana zada acha hai... " She said and bit her tongue immediately as half of herself was stopping other half to blurt this out.

" Is that so ??? Shall I do it all the time ??? " He said teasingly.

" Sab pahauch gaye honge upar... " She said and parted looking away from him immediately being not able to handle her insides and his words together.

She started moving towards the lift... Being this late at night it was obviously empty. Sidharth moved inside behind her and kept moving... She turned and her head reflexively shifted a little back looking him this closer... He kept moving till the point no space was left... Her breaths got heavy as he looked direct & deep into her eyes... His hands reached to her bag taking out something... He tilted his head a little sideways and moved a hand up... Her eyes shifted to his hand and then back to his eyes and he shifted his eyes down at her neck... He softly brought his hand forward and swiped the tissue paper on her throat with utmost softness making her shut her eyes immediately. He could feel her gulps over the tissue because of this action. He could call himself crazy at that moment because he didn't knew how come these things were even coming to his mind... Are they actually supposed to excite someone... Does these effects are supposed to make someone crave more for them or was it just his crazy mind ???

After a few swipes the concealer was clear... And he could see the hidden red area beneath it... It was slight red as he was utterly soft... But he could see it clearly and he couldn't remove his eyes from it... He could see their connect, trust, growth through that mark...

He unknowingly brushed his thumb over it and a soft almost inaudible moan escaped her mouth. She immediately opened her eyes as she felt her voice coming out and he looked up at her... She looked into his eyes... her face was straight as in that particular moment she was almost thoughtless... but her eyes clearly showed the love she hold for him... her hands clutching his shirt on his arm clearly told that it was him only, who was and would be allowed to be this close to her... EVER.

He moved and rested his forehead on her's for thanking her.... Thanking her for introducing him to these feelings.... thanking her for introducing him to this demanding, wishing & hoping side of him...

This was the first time he had showed his rights over her in such a strong way... She loved how he keeps giving assurance to her in between. She loved his every way of every thing... She was so crazily in love with him... She doesn't even have exact words to explain what she feels with him... She never knew this type of content exists...

She lifted her face a little and pecked his nose. He smiled at her cute gesture and tilted her face backwards, bent down and rubbed his stubble on her jaws making her giggle... He did it more and she giggled even loudly...

" haaye mat karr.. saccchhii bahaut gudgudi hori hai... mat karr... floor aagaya tera.. " She said giggling and pushing him with her little palms.

He moved back after a while after kissing her chin twice....

She left to her flat and reached her room. At first she avoided to look but then unable to control, she finally turned towards mirror... Her hands reached to her throat and she caressed it unknowingly... She never felt so affectionate towards herself ever... or maybe she was loving that particular part of her considering it as his... he marked it and she named it to him...

She threw herself on the bed to recollect their past few hours, to recollect and feel their moment all over again... She laid their blushing the hell out as she didn't had to hide it now, her breaths were heavy even with the picture replayed in her mind... she turned her face and pulled the fisted blanket to hide herself from God knows whom ??? After a number of repetitions in her mind, looking at the ceiling, smiling to her heart's content..she finally got up to change...

____________________________________

Next Morning, everyone woke up late.

Shehnaaz got up and came out and saw Misha's mother.

" Good Morning Aunty !! Happy New Year !! " Shehnaaz wished her.

" Happy New Year beta !! " Misha's mom wished Shehnaaz back in a quite exciting tone which was actually surprising to her.

" Ek good news hai "

" Kyaaa ??? "

" Misha ne kal aankhe kholi thi... 10-15 min. Tak "

" Sachhiiiii ... haayee Bass ab jaldi se theek kardo Babaji... " she prayed.

She was in conversation with Misha's mother when her phone beeped. She checked the message.

" Acha chal mai bhi nikalti hu hospital " Misha's mother excused herself.

She quickly ran towards her room, took a shower, got ready and left to Sidharth's house. Varun opened the gate..

" Good Morning !! And happy new year... again " Varun said in excitement letting her in.

" Good morning !! Aur happy new year .. " Shehnaaz replied grinning while coming inside.

" Maa kaha hai ?? " Shehnaaz asked.

" kitchen me... " Varun replied.

" Maaa !! Bulaya tha aapne ?? " Shehnaaz asked getting inside the kitchen.

" Haa.. Aaja... Aaj saal ka pehla din hai na... to hamare yaha ek ritual karte  hai.. " Maa told her.

" kya ??? " Shehnaaz asked curiously.

" Batati hu... Sabko aane de.. Aur ye taste karke bata kaisa bana hai ?? " Maa said making her taste the dessert she made.

___________________________________

A little later everyone came and stood together in line..

" Maa... Bhabhi ?? " Shreya whispered in a questioning tone as she couldn't see Shehnaaz around and wondered why she wasn't called.

" Shehnaaz... aaja bacche " Maa called Shehnaaz who was in kitchen while going to her room.

Sidharth didn't knew why but he felt surprised... He was still unaware of the extent upto which his family had accepted Shehnaaz. He was still getting used to it when they would be always like Shehnaaz was always a part of them and that too so naturally... They won't let any of their 'firsts' with Shehnaaz feel like a first. And these feels made his inside un & down more when he saw Shehnaaz coming out of the kitchen wiping off her hands... Watching her this comfortable in his house used to fill his heart with something he doesn't know... That feeling was something different... His heart knew what picturization was making him feel those up & downs inside... but because his mind hasn't yet acknowledged those scenes, he failed to name the reason.

As she came out, her eyes fell on him and his words from last night came to her mind... His actions came to her mind... She blushed remembering that and wondered if it happens with everyone or was she the only one who just can't control blushing even on mere thought of her man. Her thoughts broke when Shreya pulled her to stand besides her and she looked to the other side... at Sidharth standing besides her looking down at her... He looked into her eyes and then at her neck.. at the mark... which he didn't got that whether it faded or she hid it... She saw the travel of his gaze and turned her face looking in front immediately.

Maa came back and came to them one by one giving them a beautiful idol of Ganpati Bappa.

Shehnaaz looked at the idol...it was so..so..beautiful.. and she realized it was of Silver..

" Maa... ye... ye to chaandi ke hai.. " Shehnaaz said quiet hesitantly as she really doesn't know how to put her dilemma in words.

" Yhi ritual hai baccha.. Inki daadi ne shuru kiya tha... Wo bahaut lucky maanti thi silver ko... ab ye naya saal aur aane wale sab saal bappa ke sath shuru karo aur wo tumhare aaspas koi vighn ( obstacle) tikne nahi denge... "

Shehnaaz felt her heart so heavy ... heavy in a good way... She had so many emotions inside... she was feeling above the world... she was feeling her life like a script... because getting this much... this much love... this much care... this much belongingness... with a new intensity and crossing every limit she could think of.. every day. It wasn't something she believed was possible in real life...

She just hugged Maa and tears flowed silently. She was so happy inside that she actually felt her heart making her body jump along with it... And Sidharth felt like he was enriched with the every possible thing he ever needed in life... He remembered how he used to call his family his world and rest of the actual world didn't mattered to him. But he didn't knew his baby girl would come from that world into his to make it beautiful in a way no one knew was possible and no one else could ever had...

____________________________________

Shreya had to go to go to mall to pick her dresses up she bought the day before and left there for some changes and alterations... She asked Shehnaaz to come with her and she agreed...

They stopped by the Hospital at first.

" Happy new year Mish !!! " Shehnaaz wished her.

She took out a bracelet from her bag and she held her hand keeping the bracelet on het hand...

" Ye dekh tera wala bracelet... par dungi nahi tujhe... Tujhe uthna padega iske liye... "

They talked to her for a while and talked to the nurse too in between and a little later they left for the mall.

____________________________________

Sidharth was in his room going through some important work when his phone rang... He wondered why Shreya was video calling him... He picked it up instantly and looking at the phone screen, he actually realized his distance from the industry he once belonged to. His friends whom he met through work but were amongst the few whom he could actually call friends. Although they unintentionally lost the contact, but they had been true friends and well-wishers all the time. Looking at the screen he felt like he was back into their older times...  Jai & Mahi were there... They were silent for sometime and just smiled heartily looking at each other... Their faces were enough to tell that they missed Sidharth a lot...

" kutte aadmi !! Duniya me aurrr insaan hai.. who are dying to talk to you... Do you realize that ?? " Mahi shouted.

" Kutta ya aadmi ?? " Sidharth chuckled.

" Mai maar daalungi tujhe kameene... " 

" Haa theek hai par tere pati ne bhi maar khaayi hai ?? Munh kyu sooja hai iska ?? " Sidharth said pointing Jay.

" Two years are not a joke you moron ! " Jay shouted.

" I know... but.. "  Sidharth tried to reason out but Mahi cuts him.

" Tu munh band kar.. aur aadhe ghante me yaha pahauch warna acha nahi hoga.. " Mahi started as a shout but got hell emotional till the end.

" Baby aa raha hai na... Roo mat yaarr... Abe tu shakal kya dekh raha hai aadhe ghanta ka matlab 30 minute hi hai... " Jay warned Sidharth while consoling Mahi.

Even Sidharth didn't knew why he was actually behaving like getting scared of Mahi's hollow threat. But he rushed out more as a challenge to himself to reach within the time... Not having enough time he stopped to buy Chocolates for her kids and bought.. even he himself doesn't know how many...

As he reached Ankush's restaurant as they called him from there, he directly reached his room as he knew he would have made them sit there... Jay jumped on him making him stumble.. After a good long hug.. they parted and Sidharth moved forward to meet Mahi who actually twisted his fingers to take her anger out and even though Sidharth could have been easily out of her grip Sidharth let her do that because somewhere he felt he deserves that anger.

" Tum log yaha kaise ?? Shaam ko aane wale the ham ?? " Sidharth asked looking at Shreya & Shehnaaz.

" Laaya gaya hai... Mahi almost kidnapped us from the mall and brought us here... and clearly said she won't let us go till you come... " Shreya told him while focusing completely on the paneer tikka served to her.

They were having a good time catching up and a little later Sidharth shifted with Jai towards the window while talking.

" Sorry !! " Jai mumbled hesitantly.

" Kisliye ?? " Sidharth asked being genuinely confused.

" May be we failed to stand by you the way we should have.. "

" Abey pagal hai... I know everything you guys did... and trust me !! you believed me was the only thing that matters... Those statements you gave in my favour I didn't wanted you to do that even... because I knew nothing was going to work..."

" We really really missed you... " Jay confessed.

" I know... Everything was just too much yaarr and I wanted to be away... from everything... completely... " Sidharth told.

" And it helped ?? " Jay asked indirectly to know if he was okay now.

" I don't know if 'it' helped... but I am good and happy than I ever was... " Sidharth told him smiling heartily.

" Chal ab purani baate band kar naa... You tell what's new ?? " Sidharth asked him.

" New !!! Well we haven't told anyone except family... But you are important to us... " Jay started speaking in a low tone.

" What ?? " Sidharth asked curiously as Jay's tone made him excited.

" We are expecting . "

" WHAAATTT ?? Seriously ?? " Sidharth exclaimed surprisingly and ran towards Mahi.

" Congratulations bro !!! " Sidharth said hugging Mahi and confusing her at first, but as she looked at Jay she understood.

" Well !! Even I played a part in that.. You understand that Right ?? " Jay said with fake astonishment.

" Abe rondad aaja... baap banega parr attention ise hi chahiye poori .. " Sidharth said dragging Jay into their hug.

" You guys know that ?? " Sidharth asked Shreya & Shehnaaz.

" I told her in the morning and she screamed the hell out letting almost everyone hear in the food court. " Mahi told whereas Shreya grinned proudly.

A little later they moved out to dining area as Vardaan, Varun, Raghav & Niti came... Sidharth kept glancing at Shehnaaz in between.. Godd he was missing her when she was just in front of him... He was missing them being themselves with each other.

Sidharth managed to make Shehnaaz sit besides him.  They were having their dinner with all the catch up and Mahi was so in awww of Shehnaaz... It Just didn't looked like they met for the first time...   

" Hey Shukla !! Long time haa !! "

Sidharth who was looking down at his plate didn't even needed to look up to recognize the voice. Mere voice was enough to make his blood boil. His clenched jaws and sudden stiffness in his body was clearly noticed by Shehnaaz... She looked at the person... But she couldn't understand anything.

" Well !! Happy New Year guys !! HAPPY new year Shukla " The women said which was almost a taunt.

Everyone there were already pissed off looking at her... They all had seen Sidharth coming a long way to this point handling himself and they can't see everything coming back to square one again...

Shehnaaz not understanding anything , but tried to do what works for her in every situation.... She held his hand and realized his fist tightened... She pushed his knucles backwards with her thumb to open them and he realized it a little later... looking at her efforts he himself loosened it up for her to fill in the space and hold him... Because with her attempts he realized that yess..  it was what he needed then... more than anything he needed that assurance from his love at that time... She entwined their fingers and kept their hands on her lap rubbing his hand with her other one.
She could feel his hands warmed up more than usual... If not anything, she atleast understood that, that woman was trying to poke him...

" Happy New Year !!! Rashmi !! " He replied.

" So how's it going ?? Work and all ?? All good ?? " He asked.

" Yeah... more than good... What's up with you... you just disappeared !! Work issues ?? Huh ?? "

He knew what she was trying to dug out... what she was trying to remind him... he was already tolerating her but she was just ready with venom on her tongue.

" Jawab de use... " Shehnaaz mumbled just for him to hear.

He tightened his fist telling her that he doesn't want to...

" Iski bakwas se affect hoge agar tune isko importance di... kasam lagge itne chittar padenge na tujhe... "

He was bewildered at her statement. Nobody here even dared to speak anything as they know the level his anger could hit with this women's face...and his girl was instead threatening him if he gave any importance to her words.... And in a sudden, her words felt a lot more deeper... He actually processed her words... He thought that actually Rashmi is non-existent to him.. then how could he be stupid enough to even react a bit to her words... He felt this realization like a miracle and he was cool now... at least much much better..  as he got a new approach and it was helpful more than anything.

" Uska munh band karwa... Mujhe nahi pata... " Shehnaaz demanded .

This was the first time he heard her demanding... and that too was for him only... He wondered how does manage this... every time... He felt so loved... he felt backed with love.

" Work never had issues yaar... People had... !! " Sidharth replied tauntingly smirking at Rashmi.

And he felt that it was not difficult. Infact, it was fun..Him being a hot- headed man... anger used rush early before he could think of any other way to deal. But today, for the first time... His girl not just calmed him in seconds but also showed him a way to deal with such people which was actually fun. He saw Rashmi's face the instant he replied in a calm way and clearly showed her that she was.. and is non- existent.

" Well Jay.. Mahi belated happy anniversary guys !! " Rashmi wished.

" Thanks !! You two ?? Together ?? " Jay asked looking at her company.

" Well yes !! And I'm so happy... I feel lucky that I'm amongst the fortunate people who are blessed with love... " She spoke again and god knows why she felt that it was gonna affect anyone.

She kept going on and started feeling frustrated soon noticing Sidharth in his own world with his people... Although the words reached his ears but Just like her even her words were non-existent to him... Shehnaaz heard her too and could feel the taunting tone in her every bloody sentence.

" Ankush your manager said that a band was going to perform... I can't see anyone !! Quite unprofessional haa !! " And here comes another one... Shehnaaz was confused by now that were they actually taunts or it's her way of talking ??

But Sidharth knew that she just had to point out for every thing...

" Kya hua ?? " Shehnaaz asked very slowly when she noticed frowns on Ankush's forehead.

" Band aagya hai... Par Singer nahi pahaucha... 15 min. Bol raha hai.. " Ankush told her mumbling.

Shehnaaz's eyes widened realizing 15 minutes are a lot to keep hearing Rashmi. She had a thought in mind... The certain reasons she had, to do what she was going to... one of them was - that she had no reason... which was the truest reason... she just wanted to do that... and she got up nervously yet confidently... A natural nervousness but a confidence out of want.

She got up and before Sidharth could ask anything she went behind Ankush.

" Bhai !! Theek ho na ?? Varun asked.

" Haaaa ree.. mujhe achanak se ye funny lagne lagi hai... Matlab kya hi bolu... jaane do... " Sidharth said pointing Rashmi extremely calmly .

Varun & Shreya felt amazing.. Although they knew he was still getting irritated.. but that was fine... They felt good that he wasn't letting himself to get affected.
While Sidharth wondered why Shehnaaz went without saying anything...

🎵🎵🎵🎵🎵🎵🎵🎵🎵🎵🎵🎵

Je tera khayal na aave
Taan ae duniya vi sunni aan
Neendan vich vi teri aan
Khwaaban vich vi hunni aan

Fida sajjna, sada sajjna
Main aaungi nibhaungi
Main jo ikraar kardi aan

Sidharth froze listening to the voice... At first all he realized was that it was her voice ... he was still confirming it to himself and not looking upwards...He never knew she sings... and that too so beautifully...

Ve tu taan soch vi ni sakda
Ke kinna pyaar kardi aan
Tere bina vi mardi ve
Tere te vi mardi aan x (2)

But the moment these lines came, it was like his bones felt a chill... Each word played separately in his mind... The intensity, the emotions poured were sooo pure . And..... they were for him... The moment this thought crossed his mind hw missed his already slow breath.

Talli takkni channa teri
Mere dil nu chhu gayi
Ohdon di badli badli aan
Jadon di teri ho gayi

Pal pal ch, har gall ch
Zikra tera, fikra tera
Main baar-o-baar kardi aan

He looked up slowly, didn't knew why it was difficult... May the intensity of words was already making him lose his mind.. and looking at her would add up to it crazily. As he looked up he saw her eyes closed...

She wasn't looking at him all this time... She wasn't sure if she would even remember a word the moment she would meet his gaze... But throughout the song her mind was flashing every possible image of him... it was like her mind was letting her know every look of the man her words belongs to... As if she already doesn't know... As she reached at last,  she wanted him to tell that it was for him... She wanted to see him real and not in her mind... she wanted to see and not guess his expressions.

Ve tu taan soch vi ni sakda
Ke kinna pyaar kardi aan
Tere bina vi mardi ve
Tere te vi mardi aan x (2)

She opened her eyes and her eyes directly fall on him meeting his gaze... And in that very moment, they lost every bit of their mind, they were thoughtless and didn't had a bit of idea of their surroundings. As their trance broke with the sounds of claps... She couldn't thank God enough that they didn't do anything stupid...
