" To. Hell. With. Intention. " Misha said in extreme anger gritting her teeth just not expecting this.

" Shaadi nahii hogii !! Shaadi nahi hogii !! Yahi drama hai na ?? .... Na hoye !! Aise se shadi karu bhii kyuu ?? " Misha was on peak, her sobs bursting out, tears coming out but this time more in disappointment and pain.

Misha got up as she wanted nothing but just to be away then. Her heart felt pain more than ever feeling that she wasn't understood by the only person who understood even the unsaid everytime. Disappointingly, not giving even a look she moved away....

" Yahi bolna tha unke saamne... yaha mere saamne jo bola naa itni taish me.... Unko. bolna. tha. !! " Shehnaaz said a little loud in extreme anger.

As soon as Shehnaaz's words fell on Misha's ears her steps halted. And the next moment when the words got processed she turned around feeling like a weight being pulled off within a moment. Within a moment she was free of the primary thing she was troubled by... her chosen family was still by her side. And how did she even believed that drama ?? Shehnaaz has been someone who drags her out of any mess even before she gets into one. Shehnaaz not just understood her but told her clearly what she was supposed to do ??

" Unko kya chahiye bada khayal hai tujhe.... Ek baar ham me se kisi ka bhi soch leti... "

A weird restlessness Shehnaaz was feeling and was even coming out in her voice. She could understand every other emotion but not that restlessness. Although she could relate it but still couldn't understand completely. Shehnaaz was suddenly and actually feeling as if losing something watching Misha like this... like something she knew all the while wasn't there. Maybe because that's when Shehnaaz realized that Misha was sharing even her strength with Shehnaaz. Misha's hope for life was what Shehnaaz knew as hope all the years... Self love, Self care, acceptance, giving no damn, and so much.... It was all what Shehnaaz lived through Misha. Watching her breaking like this just made her feel that she lost that too. The Misha she knew wasn't there... Her chosen family wasn't there... And that was the fear she was unknowingly experiencing !!

" Merr.ii jaan.. nikal gayi thi us din jo bhi ho sakta tha wo soch kar... " Shehnaaz said complaining while just the mention of that day made her lose every control. Her voice got heavy with just mention of that day.

" Wa.hha jo.. log ro.. rahe.. the.. unhe kya chahiye ye khayal nahi aaya ?? "

And her voice was choking and shaking by now while her tears flowing with no barrier.

" Waha uncle-aunty ro rahe the.... baar baar.. bol rahe .. ki kuch nahi chahiye bas unki beti mil jaye.. "

" M..mujhe !! Mujhe.. us waqt meri Mishh chahiye thi bass.. Sidharth ko.. uski buddy chahiye thi.. Vardaan ko uski partner chahiye thi... " She said within the burst out of all the emotions. She was angry, she was hurt, she was guilty and above all, still traumatized of that unfortunate day.

And that's when Misha realized the blunder she did with herself. Just few words and it was like everything played in Misha's mind making her see herself like a fool. Every stupidity which came her way all the while and the bigger ones which she did in response. She could scan each and every stupid thought and action of her's through Shehnaaz's word. She was the one who used to smash with her replies if someone ever tried to give her lessons even on her choices. She always prioritized her comfort rightfully not giving a damn to anyone. She couldn't believe that she let that happen. She couldn't believe she let others tell her, her perfect form...

It took her no time to come out of that self-pity zone but was simultaneously pushed into regretful one. It felt like a spell happened. She wondered how come she was so clear suddenly ?? It was so magical like a dusty glass swiped clean. The thing she kept trying but failed to fix in her head all the time happened just like that now. All the things which were torturing her a few minutes back felt fragile suddenly. The value she felt of herself all of a sudden, swiped away all the tortures of self doubts. She felt a weirdly erupted content all of a sudden. A content of finally believing the way she wants to... feeling the way she wants to !!

" Sabko rehne de.. Tujhe !!.. Tujhe us waqt teri saanse chahiye thi !!... Teri life chahiye thi !!... Tu lad rahi thi na uske liye... " She squealed in anger.

" Aurr wo mili... to.. tujhe ye dekhna hai ki 'un' logo ko kya chahiye ?? " She asked in utter disappointment and Misha kept looking at her.

" Isliye ladi thi itna ?? "

And Misha just hugged Shehnaaz in response. Shehnaaz tried to part on anger but she kept clinging stubbornly. And Shehnaaz very well understands this hug. She knows that she was on track now. Apologizing was quite difficult for her so this was her way. Her way to tell that she had nothing to say or maybe she never learnt to express guilt. Shehnaaz couldn't help but melt and patted this kiddo just like a mother...

" Tu kabse validation lene lagi ?? " Shehnaaz asked softly.

And the question was new for Misha. She herself didn't had a thought over this. People said something !! But she always knew to handle... Why exactly she saw herself like she could have never ?? And then she realized that she never sought any validation earlier because then she was never afraid of not getting one !!! She was never in the spot of comparing herself... She was never in the spot of looking if she was allowed to feel what she was feeling... She was never affected of 'not having' someone... Nobody mattered this much ever...

" Since I felt undeserving !! " Misha almost whispered answering her ownself.

And only after blurting out Misha realized that she shouldn't had. The answer was going to drag her to the way she was avoiding.

" Undeserving ??? " Shehnaaz asked parting away forcefully.

" For whatt ?? "

Looking at Misha, for some unexplainable reasons so many things just popped up in Shehnaaz's mind. She knew Misha inside out and she herself didn't knew why the next thing even came to her mind. She didn't knew whether it just erupted or was already there ?? But she just acknowledged !! All this while she has trusted, liked, appreciated and more of all... she has subconsciously linked all of Misha's to Vardaan only. Probably because she was sensing it all different but was never in the position to see it in a different frame and hence never defined the comfort, care, and everything they had for each other. She didn't know how come all what she never acknowledged was coming altogether and was making sense now.

" Or should I ask for whom ??? " And Misha's eyes widened a bit shockingly giving Shehnaaz all her answers .

Misha doesn't know how did Shehnaaz came across this thing ?? And since when she knew ?? She was baffled over the revelation she has put herself into. But now as Shehnaaz knows, it was slightly shrugging away the chances of Misha convincing herself to keep quiet and adding to it, the encouragement in Shehnaaz's eyes was acting like a kick, the relief Misha was getting after the previous cleansing was tricking her into speaking it all. Misha felt like emotions coiling up inside again.

And she remembered that she shouldn't. It would just complicate things amongst them knowing very well that there would be no reciprocation. The pride in her was already making her embarrassed in her own eyes and she wouldn't be able to have it in front of others too.

" Sana rehne de pleaseee !! " Misha pleaded but couldn't help her voice getting choked.

" Kyuuu ??? " Shehnaaz asked with bewilderment but excitement more with the sudden information that her crazy sister was experiencing the same emotion now which she just can't define.

" Koi matlab nahi hai is sabka... " Misha replied understanding her excitement whereas Shehnaaz just raised her shoulder just not understanding a word.

" Kyaa bole jaa rahi hai... sar ki chot theek nahi hui hai terii.... " Shehnaaz said now getting irritated as she was going crazy to take that excitement out.

" Samajh naa please !! Mai bahaut zada affect hori hu... Aurrr.....mujhe nahii hona hai !!!... Mai sambhaal nahii paungi " Misha pleaded at first and then turned stern making Shehnaaz quiet.

" Abhii sab hogya... aurr terii kasam mai itna light feel karri hu na.. bass acha acha lagra hai.. kitni bevkoofi ki.. shittt yrr... kya mast mast comebacks ho sakte the... miss kardiye... ab aaye phone.. soch kar ke baithungii... " Misha said going back to her usual zone.

As she was feeling herself being able to feel more like her older self, her excitement was just rising up. She was actually happy. She was actually feeling herself on the same way of loving herself, cherishing herself !!! She never knew embracing yourself could be such a good healer. She never knew it could be such a magical help with other pains which looked a bit easy to tackle now.

Of course Shehnaaz wanted to know it all. But right then she wasn't understanding that whether she should put Misha into this conversation or not ?? She was unknowingly confident about who it was. But still wanted Misha to be comfortable with the conversation as she knew the complex turmoil running inside her. She wanted Misha to come out of one thing first and more of all, she needs to be calm to talk about this. Right then, all she noticed was that Misha was hell bent to avoid herself to think in that matter.

" Shakal theek karr... " Shehnaaz replied and Misha chuckled smilingly watching how beautifully she supports her.

And Misha came out to go to washroom but as she came out her face fell down in embarrassment and her eyes ran around. Sidharth was standing there and possibly heard it all. Sidharth wasn't planning to encounter her for this ever as it wasn't needed anymore but before he could go Misha was already there in front of him. And now if it had happened, he just cupped her face and shaked her head as if trying to shrug it all out smiling faintly at her telling her that she need not feel anything different to be open in front of him than she feels with Shehnaaz.

" Kya yrr... Khacchar ko competition dene ke liye tu khacchri nahii ban sakti... " Sidharth said quite teasingly making Misha shocked.

She couldn't understand that tone. Does he know about the thing going inside her ?? They didn't even took his name !! Or did he knew already ?? But no.. how's that possible ?? Nothing like that ever happened !! And if it would had been that obvious then no one else but atleast Shehnaaz would have catched already.

Misha went to washroom and Sidharth came inside. He stood at the door watching Shehnaaz sitting at the corner looking out of window pane wiping her cheeks. Although, a lone tear of her's manages to leave him restless but still he was unknowingly smiling. The reason those tears coming out were making him smile. These two were something different... the purity they hold for each other for no reason was so precious. Even if she learns family and relations from him, he doesn't believe her and Misha's was any less if not more.

Sidharth came in and her breath stucked for a moment as he held and arm and pulled her up. Before she could understand his action, he himself sat there on her place and made her sit on his lap. He was already not understanding the processing of the actions which just occur. And now they were just getting occurred every now and then.

She was looking out while he tightened his hold just to get her attention which he succeeded in. She looked at him who was looking at her raising his brows questionably.

" Wo theek hai !! "

" Mai nahii dekh sakti usko rote hue.. " She said like a confession puckering her lips.

" Obvious hai na baby... " He said so softly reflexively wiping her cheek and maybe just his concern made another drop fell.

" Wo mujhko hamesha bolti hai ki tu mujhe udna sikhata hai... " She told him while he kept looking her partially overwhelmed with the words and partially confused of this sudden mention.

" Tu mujhe aasmaan me lejata hai parrr isliye na kyunki usne mujhe tabb zameen pe khada rakha tha.... "

And he didn't had any words. What would he even say ?? What Misha was for her was nothing new but the realization that Misha made Shehnaaz stand all those days when he didn't even knew that his life was somewhere suffering erupted a different intensity of respect for her and he moved ahead and rested his lips on her forehead just not feeling like leaving the touch.

And she hugged him like a baby. And for nothing particular but he just understood her demand and he held her just like she wants... just like his baby... he squeezed one cheek against him and cupped other one while she looked out silently nothing but just the darkness. And she just felt that it was so unfair how darkness is portrayed. She felt it beautiful too... or maybe it was about how she was watching it !!

A while later when she was content her mind finally gathered the surroundings.

" Sidharth ham dono hi hai idharr bass.. sab kya soch rahe honge... " Shehnaaz said suddenly parting away.

" Kyaa soch rahe honge ?? " He said teasingly yanking her close and making her quiet.

" Mmmatt karr... " She almost whispered holding his hands around her waist trying to loosen the hold.

" Kyaaa ?? " He whispered back questionably squeezing her waist making her dangerously close to his face.

As her first breath fell on his face, he just felt like someone just ran inside.

" Si... " She tried speaking but stopped. First, she forgot the words and second, if if she would have remembered this proximity won't have allowed her.

He looked deep into her eyes and then at her lips which just twitched and he noticed without even looking at it.

" You know.. adhoore kaam pasand nahii hai mujhe.. " He said in a low tone like passing some really important information.

And it took a while for her to remember Vardaan's call few hours back. And with the realization that what incomplete he was talking about, her beats escalated in a go.. a bit because of where they were and rest because..does she even needs a reason when he's around !!

He bended a little sideways as if making his intention even more clear and she doesn't understand why and how but they could be at any height still every little thing would affect her even more everytime.

And she felt so weak that even opening her eyes felt like taking energy more than she had and she had to give in.

They moved forward and pressed their lips with a force with which their emotions inside were trying to erupt out. His hand wrapped more covering her and her hand moved rubbing from his shoulder to nape. The craved touch on his neck made his insides urge crazily. And as they moved, they could feel their lips intruding each others. The soft insides and the tingly wetness of the tongue created crazy unnamed urges. Urges they doesn't even know. Maybe to stop the sensations developing or maybe to get them even more !! And under those urges her body started grinding against him making him deepen as if to compensate and feeling his wetty flesh more her fingers locked his hair a little wild.

And after a while they parted but still resting their foreheads, feeling each other's hot- heavy exhales on their faces and feeling a different content with that. As if feeling what they do to each other. Sidharth opened his eyes and looked at her who look was looking gorgeous with that face under blood rush. He knows no reason but just the fact that this view was his possesion was enough for him to call his heaven. And with that thought he pecked her lips featherly again and again not sure whether to settle her with his love or to make her crave for more !!

Shehnaaz came out and saw Vardaan and Ankush standing on the door of other compartment.

" Hogya kaam ?? " Vardaan asked breaking his conversation while Ankush just kept smiling teasingly as it was only him who knew that Misha wasn't in there and these two birds were alone.

" Sab so gaye ?? " Shehnaaz questioned quickly to shift focus maintaining soberness only if she knew how betraying her eyes were.

" Haaaaaa.. " Ankush replied dramatically for nothing but just having her attention and show that smirk.

" Hogya ??? ... Soja abb !! " Sidharth saved her coming from behind smacking Ankush's head.

_____________________________________

Next morning, they reached the hotel and went to their rooms to get ready quickly as they wanted to cover as much as they could and as soon as they could.

" Guide lena hai ?? " Ankush asked.

" Chal na.. koi itna gyaan ka shaukeen ni baitha hamare ghar me.. usse zada ye hamare Newton baba bata denge. " Vardaan said pointing at Sidharth.

They got ready and having breakfasts at the hotel itself they left and decided to cover some part by hop-on-hop-off bus so they got on one and started their day looking around the museums across the city.

Sidharth looked around and chuckled looking at this baby who was making faces looking around the museum. Even if he never heard it from her but her face clearly showed that she wasn't much interested. She was more fond of things which could be felt, that is why she always enjoy nature more than anything. But history never went well with her. And he came close to her chuckling and shaking his head.

" Kya hua ?? " He asked gaining her attention coming from behind.

She looked at him startled and then nodded at him negating but that pout on her face was telling him all the story. Letting a laugh out he kept an arm across her neck and he started exploring with her. He would read out the informations in the museums and then would explain her. He was talking and making sure that she was entertained.

" Ye dekh main cheez idharr ki.. " Sidharth said pointing at a big ship highlighting the place.

" Yeee ??? "

" Hmmm... isi ke naam pr museum hai... "

" Matlab ye ship ka naam Vasa hai ?? "

" Ha... "

" 17th century ka hai matlab 16something na... " She asked reading the information written over there.

" Intelligent hai bey tu !!! " He replied like encouraging a kid and she grinned proudly.

" Hayeeeee.... !! " She sighed unknowingly while reading.

" Kyaa ?? "

" Ye 300 saal dooba raha yrr... " She said actually feeling bad.

And he couldn't do anything but just laugh. Since she came in his world, one thing was for sure ! She made him familiar of his own voice.. his laugh.. more than ever !!!.

And weirdly, even though they are talking about what surrounds them only, how much they were engrossed made it doubtful that they even remember where they were , forget with whom they were !!

And they continued same way at The Royal Palace too taking Maa with them.

After sometime, they were out and deciding the next part when Sidharth and Vardaan went to take a call. Then only Varun noticed Niti looking at the Open ice skating rink at the center. He remembered how much they both used to love skating in school specially Niti. Or maybe it was just Niti earlier and his interest developed only because of accompanying her.

Varun didn't even saw himself at the place of doing anything for her now. His part of friendship and care was intact but suppressed under his self respect. But no matter how much he try to behave how he should ideally, he end up doing things which please his people... not as his 'best friend' but she was still part of his family. And before all the opposing voices in him makes him stern again he took the next step as if himself trying to beat his mind which was preparing to put senses !!

" Bhabhi !! " Varun said suddenly coming from behind where Shehnaaz, Shreya and Niti were standing.

And this word still blows her mind away. She still wasn't used to. And how would she even ?? Even others weren't used to call her that way in front of her. It just comes out randomly. She couldn't even process that she was called and had to respond.

" Ice Skating karenge ?? " Varun asked breaking her trance, possibly to make it hear by the one standing besides.

" Meko normal skating bhi nahi aati hai... " Shehnaaz replied.

" Are try karte hai na.... " He tried to convince.

And she automatically turned at Sidharth. She didn't even knew why she was looking at him. And god knows out of habit or feeling her gaze, he too looked at her being still on call. She gestured him towards the rink as if asking for his permission. It was weird, different... differently weird !! It was like she wanted him to have a track of her all the time. Even he wanted that but he want it as a responsibility and she, as a right !! She doesn't needs that permission but still she want that. He doesn't want to decide anything for her but still it overwhelm him.

It felt so.. so different. So differently rightful amongst all. And he smiled heartily.. maybe he found something relatable... Nobody understood that smile except Maa because even she gets flashes watching them and was relating.

He gestured them to go. And others left leaving Sidharth and Vardaan there only. Maa and Aunty stood outside watching and clicking them. Niti as soon as wore the skates, a different pang of happiness hit her. She felt like a little girl flying. She twirled around and Varun could see what he unknowingly wanted to. Although he know that he care and that couldn't be changed because he never had any reason to fall out other than that Niti wanted to. But he also know that it was out of responsibility more. And he was more happy to realize that he didn't wanted anything more. Niti was on wheels after years. And like everytime, her eyes turned towards Varun out of habit but she saw him helping Shehnaaz to wear the skates. She felt a little down not having her partner besides without whom she doesn't even remember that she even touched the skates.. But she knew Varun had a thought of her when he suggested and that was still a lot for her for then...

Varun got up and held Shehnaaz's hand making her get up slowly.

" Abhii bend karo lightly... "

" Bass ?? "

" Thodaa... jaha aapko balance sahi lage ... haaa... wo hath bhi upar rakho... ha chaloo abhii ... slowwwlyyy.. slowwwlyy... "

" Hayee. Tu side me chall... "

" Kyuu.. "

" Itnii dheere chalre hai ham... "

" Sahii kehre ho ek-aadh ne thok ke chale jana hai.. "

Varun and Shehnaaz took their own track at a side and were having the worst ride but the best time of all bursting stupid jokes. And just then, Varun's leg slipped a little but he balanced himself.

" Oyee.. " Shehnaaz screamed reflexively.

" Bach gayi... " Varun said sighing.

" Bachh gayaaa.. " Shehnaaz corrected.

" Pant bach gayii... " Varun cleared.

And Shehnaaz just burst out in laugh joined by Varun. They were laughing and laughing crazily unable to notice that a girl who just fell there in front of them was mistaking their laugh and getting offended by each second.

The next moment she reached closer to them with a man. As they reached closer Shehnaaz and Varun stopped looking at them confusedly who were glaring them back. The way girl was looking at her was making Shehnaaz make faces too.

" Yesss... " Varun asked moving a little forward and reflexively pulling Shehnaaz behind gaining their attention.

Shehnaaz's eyes were bored into girl but as Varun spoke she saw the girl's face softened making her frown.

" Maine konsi bhaise chura li iski... " Shehnaaz murmured still making faces.

" You were laughing at my girlfriend !! " The man said not sure whether asking or telling pointing a finger at Varun and coming closer.

Before Varun could even reply Shehnaaz just lost it.

" O hellooo... mister.. pare hattt .... " Shehnaaz said in a flow jerking his hand away not remembering that the language won't help but gestures definitely did.

" Bhabhi relax.... "

" Listenn... " Varun tried speaking but was interrupted.

" You love teeth show ?? How about taking them out and then show !! " The man started threatening.

" First, we didn't even saw you before the moment you were here talking to us and second, I would do 'that thing' way better... Trust me !! " Varun gave it back.

" We saw... " The man still stucked stubbornly.

" Then get your eyes tested... " Varun replied getting enough of their attitude and 'coming from nowhere' offence but it definitely irked them.

The man tried coming even close as if almost hovering them in an attempt to intimidate them. And watching them, here Shehnaaz looked like she was just ready punch them. And god knows whose good luck that she was held and pulled a little back along with Varun.

" Kya karr rahe ho tum dono ?? " Sidharth said partially scolding them.

" Ham kya karr rahe hai wo aaye hamare pas... " Shehnaaz scoffed actually making Sidharth quiet and he looked up at them.

" Heyy listen !! There might be some misunderstanding.. Let it go !! " Sidharth said while holding Shehnaaz tight sensing her wriggles.

" Yeah... It's alright !! " The girl cuts before her boyfriend would say anything passing a smile and they left.

And now there was nothing but just that smile which Shehnaaz remembered.

" Tum pagal ho.. ham kaha hai wo dhyan karo.. free ke pange kyu le rahe ho ?? "

" Matlab hamne panga liya ?? " She asked dangerously.

" Nahiii... matlab avoid kardo na jisne bhi kiya... " He covered a little intimidated.

" To hamne kya koshish nahi kii ?? Parr teri shakal nahi hai na mere pass.. kya karee " She replied mockingly.

" Hamari shakal dekh ke thodi kisi ko pyaar aata hai... fokat ki smile aati hai " She said dramatically in irritation.

Varun laughed out realizing the hidden meaning and Sidharth fell a little embarrassed to see someone watching their inside jealous game. Varun left leaving them there.

" Mujhpe kyu gussaa ho rahi hai ??? Maine kya kiya ?? " He asked holding her hand and moving ahead slowly.

" Maine kya kiya tha ?? " She scoffed.

" Maine thodi bola tune kuch kiya... Parr tu bata baat badhti ...
Idhar police volice ke chakkar padte free me ?? Chalega ?? Bata ??? Chalega to aau mukka maarke.. Jauu ??? " He said like making a kid understand dramatically.

" Chup baith idharr... hamne bhi to aaram se bola tha... tere bolne pe bada maan gayi... " She said pouting disappointingly

" Ab ye bhii merii galtiii ?? " He asked wondering looking besides and down at her.

And she already knew that she wasn't making sense but then she can't tolerate anyone sharing any kind of thought even for him. And unable to supress more, a smile bursted out over her own stupid and stubborn attempts of showing sense into these senseless things.

And watching that he could do nothing and just laugh out watching the crazy pit they were in.. and forever !!

_________________________________

Niti and Shreya wished to do more so they convinced Varun and Ankush to stay which they succeeded in.

Leaving Varun, Niti, Ankush and Shreya others boarded a water ferry reached Gamla Stan.

They were searching for the cafe Vardaan visited last time. He liked it very much then and wished to take them all there.

Looking around the colourful place, they had nothing to say in particular but still just the random strolling around felt the best part of the day. The colourful building, the cheerful yet peaceful evening, the scenic frosty streets completed the day for Shehnaaz. Nothing but simple streets yet she felt like watching everything around.

Having dinner at a local cafe they came back to the hotel.

A while later, Shehnaaz and Misha went to Maa and Aunty's room and sat there talking to them.

Misha was amazingly better now atleast in terms of how she feel about herself.

A while later Sidharth and Vardaan joined them.

" Ye log aaye nahi abhi takk ?? " Sidharth asked looking at the phone.

" Haa.. pata karr na.. " Maa asked him.

" Aarahe hai 10 minute me.. text kiya abhi... " Vardaan informed.

" So jaoo firr... Subah nikalna hai apne ko time se.. " Vardaan said.

" Wo log pahauch jaye to bata dena hame.. " Maa said.

And making them sleep they all came out.

" Last day !! " Vardaan said sighing pressing his lips into a smile and it reminded Shehnaaz of this longest first which was beautiful more than she could have ever pictured her whole life to be.

" Last of the First !!! " Sidharth said like correcting the words looking at Shehnaaz as if telling her there were many more to come.

____________________________________

Shehnaaz woke up and got out of bed quickly just to stop that irritating doorbell.

" Noo... Yess.. yess.. no.... just an hour...promise !! " She heard a very agitated Vardaan as she opened the door.

" Kyaaa ??? " She asked as he kept the call.

" Alice is gonna kill each of us if we fail to reach there in an hour. " Vardaan informed.

" Parr itni jaldiii kyu jana hai ?? "

" Tayari kaun karega ?? "

" Kaisi tayarii ?? "

" Mmatlab lunch.. va..gerah.. wo akeli karegi to achaa nahi lagega na.. "

" Vardaan bass milke aate hai na.. uske ghar me sab kitne pareshan honge vaise hi.. lunch ke liye mana karde... vaise bhi 1 baje ki to flight hi hai hamari.. "

" Maine bola tha.. parrr.. nahi maan rahi.. firr man hai uska to karne dete hai.. " Vardaan said.

" Abhii pleasee aap ready ho jao jaldi.. un gadho ko firr uthane jana padega.. " Vardaan continued and Shehnaaz laughed out.

" Kyaa hua ?? " He asked.

" Role reverse " She replied making Vardaan think.

Vardaan smiled unknowingly as he himself realized that, when reminded by her. He himself has never ever imagined himself like this... this responsible side was so new.. and owing to these new things the other ones carelessly became Vardaan's old version leaving all on him.

Vardaan reached Ankush and Sidharth's room. As he barged in pushing Ankush aside he literally went and sat on Sidharth's back.

" Saale uth ja.. wo sach me maar degi...mujhe usse baat karne me bhi darr lagra hai.. "

" Koi connection hai in baato ka ?? " Sidharth replied irritatingly.

" Aee rehne de.. rakhde towel vapis.. thand me kyu nahana hai roz ?? " Vardaan said watching Ankush picking up the towel.

" Ye ki na achii baat.. " Sidharth said and snuggled back into the quilt.

" Sidharth sab ready hoke bahar khade hai.. change karke aa... nahii mai... Sanu ko bheja to aur late karega... aunty ko hi bhejta hu... "

" Hogyi bakwas... nikal ab aaraha hu " Sidharth said smacking a pillow at him quite hard and getting up.

And with this responsible Vardaan jumping on everyone's head and running through all rooms throughout they finally managed to check-out from hotel sooner than planned.

Vardaan was on call almost all the time throughout the route and a while later the car stopped and he went out telling them to wait. Knowing very well that who was on the other side and Vardaan's haste to reach made Misha's mind accept the thing which she couldn't till then. It was painful.. it was hurtful, it felt like an approval over the fear she had developed unknowingly... that she would never get to know how being loved feels like... she would never get to know how holding that only place for someone feels like... she would never get to know how it feels to have that thing back which she never knew she would appreciate this much...

Misha's thoughts halted as the view in front of her changed alerting her subconscious mind and she brought herself back. She saw a big, beautiful bunch of flowers wrapped carefully in a paper. She saw the flowers in front of her and then out of the window where Vardaan was standing holding and forwarding them to her.

She looked at him in his eyes in a confusion of split second. That little part where she felt the best outcome of that scenario but then soon it striked her that why would it even happen ?? The thought felt embarrassing. And then realizing who it belongs to actually what she considered her's for a splitsecond, pinched bad.. really bad !!

Vardaan already noticed the creases of confusion and then saw them going too... as if she got the answers herself but her eyes told him clearly that they weren't pleasant one. She looked away taking the flowers and Vardaan too went and sat on his seat a little dejected but a little hopeful !!

______________________________________

They reach after sometime and as they came out of the car Ankush's phone rang.

" Yess.. ha bol na.. nahii mujhe nahi pata.. achaa.. ruk puch ke batata hu.. "

" Sid !!! Tune kuch order kiya hai ??? " Ankush asked in a doubtful tone.

Sidharth tried understanding what he was talking about.

" Paritosh is asking if it got delivered or not ?? " Ankush tried clearing.

Hearing the name Sidharth understood in a go and almost snatched his phone and came to a side to talk.

" Yeah.. paritosh !! Hii.. Sidharth here !!.. I collected it already... yeah I asked about you but you were on leave.... na that's fine...yeahh okayy...byee.. "

" What would you buy at a jewellery store ?? " Ankush asked dramatically assuming a lot already shocking Sidharth as he didn't realized when he came and stood behind him.

Sidharth just looked at him and moved ahead showing no interest making Ankush's jaw fell down in shock watching such ignorance for the first time.

" Sanuuu !!! Sid has a gift for you !!!!! " He shouted smirking at Sidharth gaining everyone's attention leaving Sidharth baffled and burying Shehnaaz into shyness.

" Tujhe kisne bola yee ??? " Sidharth asked pressing his teeth in agitation.

" Nahii hai uske liye ?? Haww.. to ab khareedoo !! " Ankush said smirking devilishly taking his revenge of ignorance.
