After recording the song shehnaaz came out of the recording room. Sitting on the sofa she had  little water and closing her eyes she relaxed herself and just then a knock on the door disturbed her.

"Yes" said shehnaaz softly as she set straight. Arjun entered the room and set on the couch Infront of shehnaaz.

"Shehnaaz i think we should discuss your next project" said arjun politely.

"Yeah go ahead arjun" said shehnaaz in a low voice. Arjun could see her lost somewhere. He had noticed her since the time she had reached the studio. She had been lost even during her recording but he couldn't ask her.

Shehnaaz had never made any friends. She will be polite with her team but will always keep professionalism.

She always treated her team with humbleness but would never be open infront of anyone. She had never found someone with whom she could share whatever goes in her mind or her heart. She just keeps everything inside her.

"Shehnaaz " Tere Bina" song ka video is yet to shoot. The producer want to release the song within next two weeks so he want the video to be shot in this week only and this week i think u can shot the video as there is nothing important in this week and ur co- star Karan is also ready to shot the video this week. What say?" asked arjun after explaining her politely. The song "Tere Bina"has sung by her only three weeks back.

Shehnaaz thought for a minute. There was nothing important she had to do in this week and she don't like to keep the team waiting and if everything is ready she thought to go with the video shoot.

"okay arjun...m ready. Sab kuchh discuss krke mujhe bta dena" said shehnaaz.

"Yeah ofcourse" said arjun politely.

"Okay to i'll leave now....mujhe abhi dog farm bhi jana hai. bye arjun" said shehnaaz as she got up from the couch and taking her handbag she left the room.

"Rajbir Shergill,  iski beti ko kidnap krna hai" said a man in his 50s decked up in a royal blue suit. Paise jitne tum bolo lekin isko apne paas hi rakhna jab tak m ni bolta....said the man again.

"Wajah?" he asked sipping the alcohol. He had never kidnapped nor killed anybody till he don't know the reason. He had his principles for work which he had never broke nor would he ever do.

"Meri partnership hai Rajbir K sath. Construction  site p kuchh problem ho gyi hai jiski vajah se kaam ruk gya hai aur kaam dubara chaalu krne k liye hum dono k sign chahiye kuchh papers par. Maine to kar diye hain lekin vo sala man hi nhi rha hai. mere croro rupye lge hue hain iss project m aur iss rajbir ki vajah se pehle hi mera bhut nuksan ho chuka hai" said the man in frustration.

"To usko kyun nhi uthana" he asked in a calm voice keeping his legs on the table placed Infront of him.

"Kyunki mujhe pata hai usko kitna bhi torture kro vo sign nhi krega. Uski jaan uski beti m basti hai agar usko zra sa bhi kuchh hua to vo bardash nhi kar payega" said the man with a smirk.

"Vo rajbir sign kyun nhi kr rha hai? Aisa kya hua hai construction site par" he asked looking at the person calmly.

"Vo kuchh nhi bas labourers m kuchh jhagra ho gya tha to vo kaam m dikkat kar rhe the. Aur kuchh khaas nhi hua hai" said the man with confidence.

"Ek baat yaad rakhna. Mujhe jhooth bilkul psand nhi hai" he said calmly sipping the alcohol. His tone was calm but the man could sense the warning, the danger in his words. He was scared from inside but kept his face confident.

"Ofcourse i know, M yaad rakhunga" he said confidently.

"5 Crore" he said casually. The man was shocked hearing the amount. 5 Crore for a kidnapping? But he knew who was sitting infront of him. The amount was too much but rajbir's one sign was causing much loss to him so he thought to go with this.

"Done" he said and offered his hand for a shake but he just stood up from his place and stood near the window of the room with the glass in one hand and the other one was in his pocket. The man put his hand back embarrassingly.

"Ladki ka naam" he asked still looking outside.

"Shehnaaz Shergill mujhe nhi lgta uski photo ki koi zroorat hai. Bolliwood ki kafi famous singer hai vo. Aur ye kaam bhut dhyaan se krna. Ye news bhut jldi phaile gi aur uski puri security bhi hoti hai to asaan nhi hoga ye kaam" said the man.

"Mujhe mera kaam mat sikhao. Paise rakh aur dafa ho ja yahan se" he said angerily without looking at him. He never liked people giving him suggestions about his work. He just couldn't tolerate any interference in his work. He had his own ways to do his work which he had never changed for anyone.

The man stood up scared with his reaction. Keeping a little bag with the half amount which was discussed before that the half amount will be payed after the work being done, he dashed out of the room scared for his life. He had heard about his anger and he didn't want to take any risk.

"Shehnaaz" the word left from his mouth even before he could realise. Taking the last sip from the glass a smirk played on his lips.

Walking in her dadi's room she climbed on the bed and set beside dadi who was watching
t.v. getting bored.

"Dadi kaise ho aap" asked shehnaaz clinging on her dadi's arm.

"M to bikul theek hoon. mera puttar kaisa hai" asked dadi caressing her hair.

"Aapka puttar bhi ek dam changa hai dadi. aap ko pta hai maine aaj ek bhut hi khubsurat sa song record kiya hai" said shehnaaz with a smile.

"Ye to bhut changi gll e. mera bacha" said dadi kissing her forehead.

"Aur dadi m ek chhote se puppy ko uske naye ghar bhi chhod kar aayi aaj. Uski ek leg p bhut chot lgi thi" said shehnaaz sadly.

"Koi ni puttar. theek ho jayega vo....tu chinta na kar" said her dadi assuring her to which she just hummed.

"Achha dadi mujhe na bhut bhookh lgi hai to m abhi laxmi didi ko namkeen chawal bnane k liye bol kar aayi hoon. Aap bhi khana mere sath. mera akele khane ka man nhi hai" said shehnaaz snuggling more into her dadi.

"Theek hai mere bache. Tu abhi jaa aur jldi se fresh ho k aaja. Teri thakaan bhi door ho jayegi" said dadi patting her back.

"Haan dadi m jldi se fresh hokar aati hoon. Aap na living area m hi aa jana. Wahin khana khayenge dadi" said shehnaaz wearing her slippers and went out of the room to freshen up.

_____________________________

After her dinner with her dadi shehnaaz took her dadi to her room and pressed her legs for sometime. Her father was held in some bussiness party so these two were alone at home. Putting dadi in sleep shehnaaz slowly went out of her room without disturbing her sleep.

Entering inside her room she closed the door and switched on the lights.

Sitting on the bed with her legs hanging down she looked around at her room keenly. The room was simple and classy. She liked simple things.  She had everything in her life. There was nothing which she couldn't afford but nothing could fill the emptiness she always felt inside.

It was her room but she never felt that she belonged to this room. She never felt it hers. It was just a classy room with all the comfort but she couldn't find peace inside her.

The sukoon she craved for, she never felt that sukoon in this room or in anything in her life. She had her father and her grandmother who loved her so much but still she could feel something was missing in her life.

Shrugging away her thoughts she climbed into her bed but didn't feel like sleeping. Resting her head against the headrest she closed her eyes and her mind went on the morning incidence. 

"Har baar koi bachane nhi aayega" the line kept ringing in her head and him looking into her eyes was flashing Infront of her eyes.

Her being in his arms, she felt something in that moment. Some emotions which she had never felt before.

The familiarity, that belongingness!!

"Kon ho tum? Aur kyun baar baar mere samne aa rhe ho" said shehnaaz to herself as she opened her eyes amused at her own thoughts.

Why was she thinking about him? Blocking all her thoughts she took her mobile from her side table  and dialed her father's number.

"Haan bacha" spoke his father from the other side as he received her call.

"Haan papa aap kab tak aaoge ghar" asked shehnaaz switching on the t.v.

"Bache abhi to thodi der pehli hi party start hui hai. thodi der to rukna pdega aur kuchh business deals bhi discuss krni hain to time lag jayega puttar. Tu bta kuchh kaam hai kya bache" asked her father.

"Nhi papa kuchh kaam nhi hai bas mujhe aapki yaad aa rhi thi" said shehnaaz. Her tone was sad.

"Aaye mere sher puttar ko meri yaad aa rhi hai.  Sorry bache lekin aaj to mujhe late ho jayega. tu t.v. dekhle bacha ya dadi k paas jaa....m to late ho jaunga aur jab tak m aaunga tu to so chuki hogi bache" said her father softly. 

"Koi baat nhi papa. Aap araam se aana. m thodi der tak so jaungi" said shehnaaz sweetly but her father could sense the sadness but he couldn't do anything at that moment.

"Okay bache. U take rest aur apna dhyaan rakhna. m aa jaunga araam se" said her father.

"Okay papa bye" saying she cut the call. Keeping the mobile aside she started switching the channels to watch something good.

Suddenly the light went off making her scared. It never happened before. Light couldn't go like this. She new something was definitely wrong. She could feel and that made her more scared.

Stretching her hand she was about to take her mobile but someone put his hand on her mouth from behind and next she could feel herself drawning in the darkness.
