Standing together in front of the whole team they looked at each other and smiled. Every eye witnessed them with adoration filled in it. 

Him standing keeping his hands in his pockets and her standing beside him holding her shawl with her hands spoke royalty.

Those precious smiles on their faces reflected their happiness. The happiness they are feeling with each other's presence.

Them standing together in front of the team felt like them standing in front of the world while the world admired them with love.

This world have witnessed them before also yet the world is unaware. The new chapter of the old story has been turned in front of the world to witness. 

This world has loved them then and this world will love them now. The story is same, the characters are same but the chapter is new.

The time is different but the audience is the same. The magic of pure love, this world is gonna see soon.

This togetherness seems magical.

Standing in the crowd of team, the director was looking at them with a pleasant smile. What he had expected, it was much more than that.

He knew this is what he wanted but didn't know that it could be this beautiful. With the same welcoming smile, he went towards them.

"finally i've got what i wished" standing in front of them he announced with a smile which made sidharth confused while shehnaaz didn't pay with heed to his words.

She was in her own thoughts that she would be watching a shooting in few minutes. It was kind of making her excited suddenly though she never had interest in this before.

"hayee sir, ab shooting start krdo na, meko dekhni hai" pouted shehnaaz while looking around the sets like a curious kid. She didn't realise what he has just said.

Standing just beside her his eyes are capturing every little thing about her without his own acknowledgement. He himself is not realising how he is watching her continuously being lost in her.

The cute tone of hers is making him smile as if he is adoring a little baby.

He was unaware of what he was doing while the director's vision was catching his every movement. He knew it has to be this only.

"Sidharth, Shehnaaz and Ayushi come with me. I need to talk to you guys" mr. kapoor announced in a serious tone bringing sidharth back while ayushi went towards them worriedly.

Sidharth observed the director but didn't understand what he wants to talk. He then looked at shehnaaz who was looking at him like a confused kid.

To comfort her he blinked his eyes even before he could realise himself. These small gestures of them are coming so naturally for each other that they themselves are surprised.

Nodding at her ever so slightly which only she could see he asked her to come along while she too gave a slight nod obeying to him.

This is just unbelievable for both of them. How can they feel so comfortable with each other without knowing each other. How can they understand each other so well.

This is coming as a shock to them but their hearts are accepting everything so smoothly and effortlessly as if it is meant to be this way.

Sidharth walked along the director ahead of them while shehnaaz and ayushi followed them being worried. 

"ayu, tum dono se baat karni hogi kuchh par mujhe kyun bula rahe hain sath. hain? meko daantenge kya vo?" she asked ayushi worriedly and didn't realise that her tone was high enough for sidharth amd director to hear.

Without looking back at her sidharth chuckled hearing her words while the director too couldn't stop his smile.

"koi nhi daantega aapko, don't worry" mr. kapoor  laughed lightly finding her too cute while she followed them pouting confusingly.

"sanu mujhe dar lag raha hai yrr, achhi feeling ni aa rahi" ayushi whispered to shehnaaz feeling scared of something.

"ayu, achha achha soch. kuchh nhi hoga, tu eve hi tention le rahi hai" shehnaaz whispered back to her while she herself was feeling something different though she was unable to understand what's this feeling.

"hope so, jo bhi ho achha hi ho" ayushi prayed while shehnaaz nodded at her with a smile trying to comfort her.

Whatever is going to happen will be good but for whom, only the writer of their lives knows.

______________________________________

Sitting on a sofa shehnaaz was holding ayushi's hand who was sitting beside her being scared of something while sidharth took a seat on a single sofa beside shehnaaz.

The director chose to sit in front of the three on the other side. He observed the three and could see the girls stressed while sidharth was sitting being calm.

"I want to discuss something very important with you three" the director started making the girls confuse as both of them has the same question that why shehnaaz was a part of this discussion.

Sidharth chose to listen to the director first and then react. He had an idea what this could be about but is pretty unsure.

"kya baat hai mr. kapoor, come to the point directly" sidharth ordered keeping his tone calm seeing shehnaaz getting stressed.

"I want shehnaaz to be a part of this music video" mr. kapoor revealed his wish giving a shock to the girls while sidharth set calmly.

He was somewhere expecting this only yet it came out as a surprise to him.

"sir, aap ye kyun bol rahe ho. mai koi actress thodi hun" shehnaaz stated getting stressed out more hearing this.

She can't even imagine herself acting in front of the camera. This was not her thing only if she knew that this is her thing only.

Sidharth felt her stress as his own. The thought to sit beside her and comfort her took over him making him almost get up but ayushi' words stopped him for the moment.

"sanu ek minute, sir you want shehnaaz to take my role ?" ayushi asked politely but her voice was shaking.

Shehnaaz looked at her shocked. She didn't think it yet, the only thought that came to her mind first was that she couldn't do acting but the thought if taking ayushi's role shocked her.

"ayu, tu ye kya bol rahi hai. ye tera role hai, tu hi karegi. faltu mat soch kuchh bhi" holding ayushi's both hands in hers she said confidently but ayushi just gave her a sad smile.

She was feeling that something would happen and it happened. Good or bad, she just don't know.

"shehnaaz let me say something please" mr. kapoor said politely making her nod.

Her eyes moved to sidharth involuntarily who blinked his eyes comforting her.

"Ayushi i have seen your theatre work. you are very good at acting. You don't need to doubt on that. This song and this video is very close to my heart. Iss song k lyrics sun k ek instant jo chehra mere samne aaya tha vo sidharth tha. I wished right then k sidharth hi hon iss song mai amd God heard my wish. Jo chehra maine sidharth k opposite imagine kiya vo puri industry mai nhi tha, bhut dhunda par nhi mila. fir maine aapko dekha ek skit performance mai. jo meri imagination mai chehra tha, vo nhi mila par ek connect hua aapko dekh k shayd you are the one to take this role" the director told what he felt while the three listened to him attentively.

"I didn't know then that i felt that connect because you were supposed to bring this girl in the picture. The exact face from my imagination. Itna dhundne k baad bhi nhi mila aur aaj khud samne aa gya. Jab maine morning mai lobby mai shehnaaz ko dekha i was shocked and excited at the same time. The shock was because it was unbelievable that the face i had in my imagination actually existed and excited that i got what i wished for" mr. kapoor continued.

"I am still wondering shehnaaz that how did i imagined your face as i had never seen you before. I have so many questions in my mind jinka koi answer nhi mil raha but for now all i want you to be a part of this soulful song" mr. kapoor looked at shehnaaz with hope in his eyes. Hope to hear a yes from her.

Silence prevailed in the room as the director stopped speaking. Sidharth heard everything patiently and attentively. Listening to Mr. kapoor his own mind has developed some more questions which are making him confused as well as are shocking somewhere.

He needs his time to understand what's happening with him. For now what he felt is that he also wants shehnaaz to be a part of this song but it would be completely her decision.

Sitting silently shehnaaz was looking down in her lap. She understood everything what the director has said and there are many doubts which have developed in her mind but for now she is too stressed about what the director has asked from her.

She does not know acting and she doesn't even want to do this. Also this was her friend ayushi's chance. She could never do this to her.

"I am sorry sir but I can't do this. I don't want to" without thinking more she denied the chance breaking director's hope while ayushi looked at her with tears in her eyes.

Sidharth kept observing her silently. She looked so stressed and worried with everything. He felt the need to talk to her, her decision felt so wrong to him.

"sanu, ye mat soch k ye mera chance tha, ye mera chance kabhi tha hi nhi. ye humesha se tere liye hi tha tabhi to tu mere sath aayi. destiny brought you here. go for it sanu" pushing her tears back ayushi tried to make shehnaaz agree.

This rejection has definitely broke her heart but listening to mr. Kapoor's point of view, she herself was feeling that it was meant to be for shehnaaz.

Shehnaaz usually doesn't go anywhere but she agreed to come with her this time. It was all planned by almighty, ayushi felt. She would be happy if shehnaaz take this role.

"ayu, tu kyun aisa bola rahi hai, you know mujhe acting nhi aati aur mujhe krna hi nhi hai ye. ye mere liye nhi hai" whatever she was saying, her heart was not agreeing to her mind.

She always says what her heart feels but only to the people close to her. This time she is listening to her mind and it is hurting her.

Neither she is liking her own decision nor she is understanding what else to do.

Sidharth could see she was struggling with herself to come to a right decision. He isn't liking the way she is stressing herself. He definitely need to talk to her.

"come with me, i need to talk to you" getting up from the sofa sidharth said looking at shehnaaz.

His voice had such a strong authority that she herself didn't realise when she got up obeying to him.

Mr. kapoor and Ayushi were surprised to see how he ordered and how she obeyed instantly. It felt so natural from both the sides that it confused them.

Gesturing her to follow him sidharth moved towards the door while she followed him silently.

_______________________________________

Pushing the door open of his room he moved aside gesturing her to get in which she did. Moving inside he closed the door behind.

"come" sidharth led her towards the sofa placed in the room. She took a seat quietly while he also set beside her.

She was stressed and he could see that the way she was playing with her fingers but she didn't feel any discomfort in being alone with him in a room.

His presence around is making her comfortable to such a level that she herself is surprised. He doesn't feel a stranger to her, she didn't feel since the moment she met him.

"shehnaaz" her eyes moved to him the moment she heard her name in his voice.

Her lips parted to take in a deep breath while her skipped a beat. Her eyes looked deep into his, it felt the world stopped there again.

"shehnaaz...shehnaaaaz..shehnaaz.." she could hear a similar voice ringing in her mind calling her with the same name.

Her eyes went closed as the voice kept ringing in her mind. A blur vision of a guy running behind a girl played in her mind but everything seems blur to understand anything.

She felt her head spinning and that made her open her eyes instantly. Her breathes went heavy with what she just experienced.

Whatever she just saw, it was for some seconds but it was too strong yet she managed to take it. She is familiar with this now but it was something new.

"what happened, are you all right ? " Sidharth was looking at her worriedly.

He himself felt lost for some seconds as he took her name. He had felt the familiarity with her name when he heard it first in the morning but this time he felt a kind of belongingness with this name.

The moment he came back in his senses, she was breathing hard. He didn't understand what happened to her suddenly.

"hanji, theek hun..theek hun" she answered while comforting herself too that she was fine.

Her breathes were still heavy. Getting up sidharth filled a glass of water from the jug placed in the room and came back to her.

"pani pio, you need it" he passed the glass to her making her take a sip.

Taking the glass back from her he kept it on the table and set back on the sofa. He then waited calmly for her to calm down completely.

"Kya hogya tha ek damm se, hmm?" he couldn't stop himself from asking her as he felt worried for her.

The way he asked her with authority, it felt as if he has this right on her. It didn't come out as a formality, it was genuine.

"kuchh nhi bss aise hi, tention mat lo aap..theek hun mai" she passed him a slight smile once she was calm while he nodded in response though he wasn't fully convinced.

"why are you denying to do this video? jo bhi dil mai hai, sab batao mujhe..okay?" sidharth came to the point straight forward this time but the way he asked her ever so softly made her feel more comfortable. She nodded instantly ready to share whatever was going in her mind.

He needed to know the exact reason and then he would try his best to make her understand.

"kyunki mujhe nhi karni hai, mai koi actress nhi hun..mujhe nhi aati acting aur mera actress ban ne ka dream bhi nhi hai. aur ye ayushi k liye tha role to usse hi karne ka moka milna chahiye" she said with full of innocence making him smile at her.

An honest innocent girl she is, he thought. Her words has the same honesty which her eyes speak.

"dekho shehnaaz, ayushi ne khud bola na k ye part tumhare liye hi hai. she wouldn't mind if u do this and not her. of course she will feel bad for herself but she is happy for you. And mr. kapoor ki baat sun k to mujhe bhi lgta hai that this is meant to be for you" he tried to make ber understand as softly as he could.

His words definitely affected her. She wasn't convinced when mr. kapoor said the same but she is agreeing to it when Sidharth made her understand.

"par mujhe acting nhi aati aur mujhe ni pta bss" she pouted getting confused between her mind and her heart.

Her mind is making her realise of her being unknown to acting while her hearts wants her to get into this. Her heart needs this.

"acting nhi aati..achha theek hai lekin ek baar try to karo na, try once.. karne se sab ho jata hai aur mai hun tumhare sath, i will help you. just go for it once, i can bet you gonna enjoy this" he smiled warmly trying to comfort her while making her understand like a kid.

His words are convincing her to a good extent. He really wants her to do this but he would not force her if she still denied.

"mai confuse ho gyi hun. kya karun..aap batao" she looked at him with puppy eyes and that cute pout of hers made her look adorable.

Her words and her expressions made him chuckle. This girl is super cute, he thought smilingly.

Everything about her is making him feel attracted towards her in such a way that he never felt for anyone ever.

He has been noticing her accent, her expressions so sincerely. This is so opposite of him. He doesn't like to talk much and here he himself wants to keep talking to her.

"i would say, you should take this chance. Even if you never dreamt of becoming an actress, you can take it as some new experience. you never know you might start liking acting. So just try it once baki it is completely your call" sidharth said whatever he felt.

He definitely wants her to be a part of this music video but he didn't say anything just to convince her. Whatever he said it came from his heart.

Nodding to him she kept sitting there with a pout while thinking what to do. Sidharth chose not to disturb her and set there in silence.

He was observing her expressions and was smiling unknowingly. This attraction felt getting stronger with every minute.

"okay i will try par agar nhi hua aur maine mana kar diya to koi mujhe daantega to nhi?" she asked so sincerely as she felt she would get scolded if she didn't do well.

Sidharth looked at her suprised on her innocence and then laughed loudly seeing her puppy face.

"koi nhi daantega tumhe, kisi ki itni himmat nhi hai. so you are in. right?" he asked keeping his tone normal but he was jumping in his mind with excitement.

This is the first time he is feeling excited to work with someone and that too someone he didn't know until this morning. Strange !

"So Miss Shergill, Welcome to my world of acting" getting up sidharth forwarded his hand to her with a big warm smile adorning his lips.

His words made her giggle softly. Getting up she moved her hand to do hand shake with him while the same warm smile was adorning her lips too.

Her fingers touched his but before she could slid her hand in his, both moved their hands back with a strong force as if they got an electric shock.

Sidharth looked at his hand shocked while same was with her. A strong spark they felt as their hands came in touch with each other.

The sensation they just felt, it shooked them to the core. His eyes moved to hers while she too looked into his. They both were shocked with what they just felt.

Their minds went blank while their hearts felt happy as they recognised the touch.

Their hearts are beating vigorously as they can feel their other half more closer. The heart to heart connection never broke, neither before nor now.

The beginning it is to something divine and powerful.
