Some days passed. Suhaan stopped coming to college after that incident. Naaz was little worried about it and asked Suhana if he was okay. Suhana told Naaz that his health was not well but there was nothing to worry about. She thought that her brother was heartbroken after knowing the truth and that was why he didn't want to face Naaz. But nobody had any idea what Suhaan was upto.

One day Suhaan came to college with Suhana. Naaz became happy seeing him.

"Suhaan tum itne dino se college kyu nahi aaye? Tabiyat thik hai nah tumhari?" She asked being genuinely concerned.

Suhaan smiled and said, "It's better now."

Naaz gave a sigh of relief and said, "Thank God. I was really scared. Paata hai aaj agar tum college nahi aate na toh main khud tumhare ghar chali jaati."

"Kyu? Itni fikar hai tumhe meri?" Asked Suhaan looking deep into her eyes.

"Haan... Tum friend ho mere. Fikar toh hogi hi." Said Naaz making a confused face. That day his way of talking seemed unnatural to her.

"I think humein class mein jaana chahiye. Pehla lecture miss kar diya toh professor humein chhorenge nahi." Said Suhana trying to cover up.

"Sahi kaha tune. Waise bhi humare professor bade khadoos hai. We better go." Said Naaz and started walking.

Suddenly she stopped and looked behind.

"Tum dono khade kyu ho? Chalo." She said to Suhaan and Suhana.

"Tu jaa. Hum aate hai." Said Suhana.

Naaz left from there.

"Suhaan you promised me that you would behave yourself." Said Suhana to her brother.

"Maine kya kiya?" Asked Suhaan acting innocent. "I just asked her woh kyu meri fikar karti hai jab ki usse toh mujhse pyaar hai hi nahi. She loves that Sidharth Shukla."

"What's wrong with you? She is concerned for you as a friend. Aur usse kisi bhi haal mein paata nahi chalna chahiye ki tu uss se pyaar karta hai. Yeh jo friendship hai na hum teeno ke bich, it's so beautiful. Agar Naaz ko teri feelings ke baare mein paata chal gaya, it will affect our friendship. Things will never be the same for us."

"Don't worry Chutki. Main Naaz ko kuch nahi baataunga. I'm trying to move on." Said Suhaan giving assurance.

A huge smile came to Suhana's face.

"That's like my brother. Tu dekhna tujhe ek din Naaz se bhi acchi ladki mil jayegi. Main dhundungi tere liye ladki. Jab main film industry mein kadam rakhungi, kisi famous heroine ke saath teri setting karwa dungi. Done?"

"Done. Ab class mein chale?"

Suhana nodded. They headed towards the class.

"Sorry Sis. Maine yeh sab sirf tera dil rakhne ke liye kaha. I can't move on. I don't want to. Because I love Naaz. Aur woh bhi pyaar karti hai mujhse. Warna itni concerned nahi hoti woh mere liye. Bas usse iss baat ka ehsaas nahi hai. And I will make her realise." Said Suhaan in his mind.

After college...

Suhaan and Suhana were leaving, suddenly Suhaan remembered something and said, "By the way I forgot this thing. Kaal mera birthday hai. Aur agle din Chutki ka. Shaam ko ghar pe ek chhoti si party rakhi hai. Mere kuch friends aa rahe hai. I want you to come also."

"That's great! Main zaroor aaungi. After all it's my friend's birthday. How can I miss it?" Said Naaz.

"Ok then shaam ko 7 baje chale aana. Don't be late."

"Main time pe aa jaungi."

Saying that Naaz left.

"Mujhe laga tu usse apne birthday pe nahi bulayega. You want to avoid her." Said Suhana.

"Tune hi kaha tha na humare friendship ke upar koi affect nahi hona chahiye. Jab main apne saare friends ko bula raha hoon then why not her? She is also my friend." Said Suhaan to which Suhana smiled sadly.

"It must be difficult for you consider her as your friend only. But mujhe paata hai tu yeh kar lega. You are strong enough."

Suhaan didn't reply.

"After tomorrow we won't be only friends for sure. Yeh wala birthday sirf mere liye nahi, Naaz ke liye bhi bohut special hone wala hai." Said Suhaan in his mind and smirked.

Next Day...

Naaz was getting ready for Suhaan's birthday. She was doing her makeup standing in front of the mirror.

"Sidharth aap ka office jab khatam ho chuka hai phir aap kyu nahi aa rahe hai mere saath party mein? Main apne friends se aap ko introduce karwa deti." Asked Naaz.

"Introduce as what?" Asked Sidharth.

"As my lover."

"Tum yeh sab ke saamne kahogi?"

"Iss mein problem kya hai? Main aap ki wife ban ne ke liye abhi chhoti hoon. Girlfriend toh ban hi sakti hoon."

"Haan but main party mein jaa ke kya karunga? Suhaan ne mujhe thodi invite kiya hai? Aur waise bhi woh tumhare friends hai. Main toh kisi ko jaanta bhi nahi."

"Main bhi Suhaan aur Suhana ke alawa aur kisi ko nahi jaanti. Kyu ki humare college se koi nahi aa raha. Jo aa rahe hai woh sab Suhaan ke friends hai. Main bore ho jaaungi. Ek kaam karna, aap mujhe zaldi lene aa jaana. Uss hi bahane aap ka introduction bhi karwa dungi."

"Ok Baba. As you wish. Main zaldi lene aa jaaunga tumhe." Said Sidharth making Naaz smiled.

"Main Naaz ko akele jaane ke liye bol toh raha hoon par paata nahi kyu mujhe kuch acchi feeling nahi aa rahi. Uss din ke baad I hope Suhaan piche hat gaya hai. Lekin agar usne Naaz ko harm pohuchane ki koshis ki toh?.... No no. I don't think woh aisa kuch karega. He is not that type of guy. Aur udhar Suhana bhi toh hogi Naaz ke saath. She will be safe with her. Mujhe Naaz ko itni chhut toh deni chahiye. Main agar har waqt uske saath raha toh sabko lagega I'm controlling her life. I can't let my overprotective nature to create problems between us." Said Sidharth in his mind.

"Lipstick kaunsa lagau?" Asked Naaz making a pout breaking Sidharth's thoughts.

Sidharth laughed and went near her. He looked at her from top to bottom.

"Red lipstick laga lo." He said.

"Thank you. Waise main bhi yeh hi soch rahi thi." Said Naaz and started applying the red lipstick on her lips.

Sidharth kept staring at her with full of love in his eyes.

"Red lipstick really suits you." He said being totally lost in her.

"It suits you too." Said Naaz after finishing applying the lipstick. She was giving a naughty smile as an idea came to her mind.

"What? Main lipsticks thodi lagata hoon?" Asked Sidharth laughing.

"Maine waise nahi kaha."

"Toh phir kaise kaha?"

"Umm.... Woh dekhiye kya hai!" Said Naaz pointing towards the celling.

Sidharth looked upwards. Naaz immediately kissed his right cheek putting the mark of her red lipstick.

Sidharth's eyes became wide.

"Ab isse mitana mat. Bye!" Said Naaz and escaped from there blushing.

"Arrey suno...."

Sidharth couldn't say as she already left.

He saw his face at the mirror and blushed.

After sometime, Naaz reached Suhaan's party. There were a lot of people. A loud music was playing. Naaz was feeling uncomfortable because of that.

As soon as Suhaan saw her, he went to her. Naaz smiled seeing Suhaan.

"Happy Birthday!" She said giving him his gift.

"Thank you." Said Suhaan reciving the gift.

"Cake cut kar liya tum logo ne?"

"Tumhare bina kaise kar sakta hoon? Come!" Said Suhaan and dragged Naaz with him holding her hand.

He turned off the music player.

"Attention guys! Meri sabse special guest ab humare bich aa chuki hai. Now it's time to cut the cake." He announced.

Everyone started cheering. Soon the cake arrived.

"Let's start." Said Suhaan huskily coming close to Naaz.

Naaz gave a slight smile as he was behaving strange. But she decided to ignore it. Suhana also noticed everything but couldn't say anything infront of the guests.

Suhaan cut the cake and gave the first bite to Suhana. Then he himself took a bite and then made Naaz eat from the same piece.

Naaz smiled awkwardly and took a bite. Suhaan intentionally smashed the whole piece of cake on her face.

"Suhaan what are you doing?" Asked Naaz getting irritated. It wasn't funny for her.

"Sorry sorry! Galti se hogaya. Come, I'll show you the washroom." Said Suhaan.

"Naaz I'll show..."

Suhana suddenly stopped after getting a death glare from her brother.

"Main chal raha hoon na uske saath? You better stay here." Said Suhaan in a stern voice and took Naaz with him.

"Yeh Suhaan ko ho kya gaya hai? Kahi uske dimaag mein kuch ulta seedha toh nahi chal raha?" Said Suhana in her mind.

Naaz went inside the washroom and washed her face. Suhaan was standing outside.

When she came out, Suhaan asked, "So, are you enjoying the party?"

"Yeah of course." Said Naaz giving a fake smile.

"I know you are not enjoying the party at all. Itna loud music hai, mere idhar aate hi unhone phirse chalu kar diya. You hate all this. But if you want we can go to some peaceful place."

"Lekin party toh idhar hai."

"Haan but mujhe tumhe kuch dikhana bhi hai. Come na!"

Naaz nodded and went with him. Nobody noticed where they were going.

They entered the servants' quarter of the house.

As soon as they entered, Suhaan locked the door. But Naaz couldn't notice it as her eyes got struck at what was written on the floor. There was written 'I Love You'.

Naaz looked at Suhaan with disbelief.

"Yeh sab kya hai?" She asked.

"These are not only some letters Naaz. These are my feelings, my emotions. I have fallen for you from the very first day I saw you. Do you remember our childhood days? That time you were just my crush but soon it turned into love and then into madness. Main pagalon ki tarah tumse pyaar karta hoon Naaz. I love you." He confessed.

Naaz was totally shocked hearing his confession. She couldn't understand what to say.

"Suhaan mujhe samajh nahi aa raha main tumse yeh sab kaise kahu. I am...."

Before she could complete, Suhaan said, "You are married. I know that. Mujhe yeh tak paata hai tumhari shaadi bachpan mein Sidharth se hui thi. But it's okay. Mujhe uss se fark nahi padhta. We can still be together..."

"No we can't. Because I love Sidharth. Woh sirf mere Pati hi nahi hai, mere pehle aur akhri pyaar hai."

"Then who am I?" Asked Suhaan angrily.

"You are my friend. A very good friend." Said Naaz trying to make him understand.

Suhaan suddenly hold Naaz's shoulders tightly and said, "No we are not only friends. We are more than that. Tum abhi realise nahi kar paa rahi ho. Aur rahi baat Sidharth ki toh woh tumse age mein bohut bade hai. How can you love him? I'm the right guy for you. You have to love me."

This angered Naaz. She pushed Suhaan away and said pointing her finger towards him, "Don't you dare to say anything against my Sidharth. Main unse pyaar karti hoon. Aur kisi ne mujhe force nahi kiya unse pyaar karne ke liye. Yeh jo feeling hai yeh dil se aati hai. Lekin tumhare saath mujhe yeh feeling nahi aati. So you can't force me to love you."

Suhaan's heart broke hearing that.

"Toh tum kabhi mujhse pyaar nahi karogi?" Asked Suhaan for the last time.

"Sidharth ke alawa main tumse toh kya kisi aur se pyaar nahi kar sakti. Jeete jee toh kabhi nahi." Said Naaz and started leaving.

"As you wish." Murmured Suhaan.

Naaz was going to open the door when she was hit by a metal rod on her head. She became unconscious and fell on the ground.
