Shehnaaz took Sidharth home. Shehnaaz's mother was there. She welcomed Sidharth. After meeting Pammi Ji, Shehnaaz and Sidharth went to Shehnaaz's room.

"Nice. Kitna pyara sa kamra hai tumhara." Sidharth said after seeing the room.

"Jhut mat bolo. Tumhare kamre ke samne yeh kuch bhi nahi." Shehnaaz said.

"Mera kamra sirf size mein hi bada hai. But this is really beautiful."

"Accha? Yeh aur bhi sundar hua karta tha. Tum yaaha ruko, main do minute me aayi." Shehnaaz said and left the room.

Sidharth was waiting. After sometime Shehnaaz came back with a bundle of magazines and posters. Sidharth left astonished seeing those. He took those in his hands and started seeing them one by one.

"Yeh sab kuch tumne collect kiya hai?" Sidharth asked.

"Haan." Shehnaaz replied.

"Can't believe this. Maine socha nahi tha mera koi itna bada fan bhi ho sakta hai."

"Yeh toh kuch bhi nahi. Paata hai, yeh saare posters maine waha lagaye the." Shehnaaz said pointing her fingers towards the wall.

Sidharth looked there and said, "Toh ab kyu nahi hai? Aunty ne nikal diye?"

Suddenly her smile vanished. She looked downwards and said, "Nahi maine khud nikale."

"Kyu?" Sidharth asked.

"Woh uss raat university ke concert ke baad...."

Shehnaaz didn't speak further but Sidharth understood. He felt bad.

"Maine uss din bohut badtameezi ki nah? Actually main bilkool hosh mein nahi tha. I'm really sorry..."

"Arrey kitni baar sorry bologe? Jo hogaya so hogaya. Abhi ka socho. Tum mere liye kitna kuch kar rahe ho. I'm really thankful to you. Aur rahi baat posters ki toh yeh main wapas laga dungi." Shehnaaz said. She tried to take them from Sidharth's hand but he didn't give it.

"Bilkool nahi. Abhi yaaha posters lagenge toh sirf tumhare. Singer Shehnaaz Gill ke." Sidharth said.

Shehnaaz smiled.

Suddenly she heard her mother's voice, "Shehnaaz, tere dost aaye hai tujhse milne."

"Unhe kamre mein bhej do Mummy." Shehnaaz replied.

"Tumhare dost?" Sidharth asked.

"Haan mere university ke friends...." Before Shehnaaz could speak, Shefali, Adi and Naina entered the room. Soon their eyes widened seeing Sidharth in the room.

"SIDHARTH SHUKLA!" Three of them screamed together.

"Ab tum gaye." Shehnaaz uttered.

"Yeh yaaha kya kar raha hai?" Shefali asked.

"Samne se kitna hot lagta hai." Naina said.

"Can I take a selfie?" Adi asked.

Sidharth became uncomfortable. Shehnaaz noticed that and said, "Guys relax! Itna woh karne ki zaroorat nahi hai. Sidharth Mummy ki friend ka beta hai aur recently mujhe music lessons de raha hai. That's why he is in my house."

They couldn't understand until Shehnaaz told them the whole story. After hearing it Shefali said, "Accha ab samjhi. Thank God tune baata diya, warna Sidharth ko yaaha dekh ke mujhe toh heart attack hi aa jaata."

Shehnaaz laughed. Then she looked at Sidharth and said, "Sidharth these are my friends, Shefali, Naina and Adi."

"Hello guys." Sidharth said and shook hands with them.

"Toh humari Sana kaisa kar rahi hai?" Shefali asked.

"Accha kar rahi hai." Sidharth said.

"Concert mein kab dekhne ko milega?" Naina asked.

"Bohut zald." Sidharth said and looked at Shehnaaz with smile.
_______________________________________

Two weeks passed. Shehnaaz used to come at Sidharth's place regularly. She never missed a single practice. She really worked hard and improved her singing skills. Meanwhile, Sidharth arranged a concert for Shehnaaz which will held next Sunday. Sidharth thinks that Shehnaaz is now ready for this. Shehnaaz was very happy when she first heard the news. It was like a dream coming true. Her parents were also glad. Now the main point is, the news of Shehnaaz's singing spread everywhere in social media. After one and half months, Sidharth Shukla is getting involved in something like this. He himself is not singing but he is arranging concert for an unknown girl. So everyone is excited for the concert.

One day Shehnaaz was practising in Sidharth's house. But her mind was somewhere else. Sidharth noticed it and said, "Kya hua Shehnaaz? Kuch soch rahi ho? Kuch hi din bache hai concert ke liye. Lekin tumhara dhyan kahi aur hai."

"Sidharth mujhe tension ho rahi hai." Shehnaaz said.

"Iss mein tension ki kya baat hai? Tumhe toh paata hai tum kitna accha gaati ho."

"Baat woh nahi hai. Pehli baar itne bade stage par gaana gaa rahi hoon. Thik se chalna, audience ke saath interact karna inn sab ke baare mein soch rahi thi. Jaise tum concert suru hone se pehle karte ho, main bhi waisa kuch karna chahti hoon." Shehnaaz said.

"Itni si baat? Koi baat nahi main sikha deta hoon." Sidharth said.

"Tumhe mujhe copy karne ki zaroorat nahi hai. Tum bas shy mat hona bilkool bhi. Confidently chalke jaana, agar kuch kehna hai like "good evening", "how are you guys?" Woh sab keh dena without being hesitated. Phir apne performance ke baad "Thank you" keh kar chale aana, simple."

"Itna bhi simple nahi hai." Suddenly a voice came from behind.

Sidharth and Shehnaaz looked there.

"Preeti."

"Haan main. Aap bhi kamal ho Bhaiya. Main part toh bola hi nahi."

"Main part?" Shehnaaz asked.

"Haan main part. The main part is dress up. Pehli baar concert pe gaaogi, uss hisaab se accha dikhna bhi toh zaroori hai." Preeti said.

"Listen, tujhe chinta karne ki koi zaroorat nahi hai. Mera stylist bohut accha hai. Woh Shehnaaz ka style bhi kar dega." Sidharth said.

"No way. Sana ko style main karungi. Yaad hai apke first show mein apka style maine hi kiya tha." Preeti said.

"Yeh sahi rahega. Preeti karegi toh mujhe uncomfortable nahi lagega." Shehnaaz said.

"Tum logo ne toh decide kar hi liya hai. Ab baata tera plan kya hai?" Sidharth asked Preeti.

"Pehle shopping par chalna hoga. Waha kuch dresses mein select kar dungi. Pehle dekhna hoga Sana unn dresses ko carry kar paati hai yaa nahi. Toh shopping pe chale?"

"Abhi?" Shehnaaz asked.

"Abhi nahi. Hum practice khatam karke ayenge." Sidharth said.

"Okay." Preeti said and left.

At the shopping mall...

Sidharth, Shehnaaz and Preeti went to the shopping mall. Reaching there Preeti started finding something suitable for Shehnaaz. Suddenly she found a dress and said, "Yeh badiya rahega, kya kehte ho Bhaiya?"

Sidharth didn't pay that much attention and said, "Nice."

"Sana tum try karke aao."

Shehnaaz nodded and left. After sometime Shehnaaz came wearing this👇👇

Now it dragged Sidharth's all attention. She was looking damn gorgeous, just like a rockstar. Before Sidharth could praise her, Preeti said, "Wow. You're looking stunning."

But Shehnaaz was stretching the jacket to cover her belly.

"Yeh kuch zyada short nahi hai. Main chain laga doon?" Shehnaaz asked.

"Arrey bilkool nahi. Jaisa hai rehne do. Bohut accha lag raha hai." Preeti said.

Shehnaaz smiled. "Sidharth kaisi lag rahi hoon?" She asked.

"Preeti is right. You're looking absolutely stunning. I hope shopping ab khatam ho gayi ho." Sidharth said.

"Nahi. Abhi aur make over baki hai. Aapko jaana hai toh jaao. Hum baad mein aayenge." Preeti said.

Soon Preeti and Shehnaaz left.

Sidharth was about to leave, suddenly he heard a familiar voice.

"Kaise ho Sidharth?"
