Now coming back to the story! No proof reading! You'll may find mistakes! And I may edit this part later with few minor changes. Now you'll can read!!

Moving inside the restaurant, and with fortitude he moved towards the girls who were at the bar. He tapped the shoulder and said "Hey"

To which shehnaaz replied turning "yes, You want an autograph!"

Sorry what asked sidharth all perplexed

An autograph? You want that? She asked again. Her face stoic and her voice cold just like 6 months back. He couldn't believe it. He rubbed his forehead with his fingers, he didn't no what to do next or what to say..did she not recognise him? Has she moved on? With all these thoughts in his mind he said I'm sorry saying that Sidharth left and joined his friends.

Shehnaaz pov!
I was getting all worried as soon as I came out of the car. God what is this please sab thik rakhna. I crossed my fingers and entered inside and as I entered I did see him, Sidharth I whispered. I felt like I want to elope right now, hide somewhere or run away but I couldn't. I saw him and he turned his face other side. Even being apart from 6 months I can still recognise him from far. My heart was beating erratically, not sure of how I'm gonna face him. Did he stalk me? Did he know I was coming here? No but as far as i remember the last status I updated was from the water park. Give me strength god..I need it.

I made my way to the restaurant acting all like I haven't acknowledged him. And he very smartly turned to the other side. I entered the restaurant all nervous still thinking what if he comes? What if he tries to talk? Shall I just talk? Oh hi! How are you? Long time no see..ye bolu kya? Are you nuts shehnaaz. Shut up shut up..you both are not long lost best friend. Goooddd why on earth on 31st he had to show? He did break up with you shehnaaz and you'll say hi. And I was thinking when I felt someone tap my shoulder and how could I recognise his touch. His palms, his long fingers..how much I've missed holding his hands but I don't know what happened all of a sudden I turned and said "you want an autograph" and his expression well that was worth the watch. His face lost colours but how can I just be normal with him all of a sudden? There's no point talking and after 6 long months no ways.

Whenever he wanted he left and now he's saying hi and hello, ajib hi insaan hai.

Sidharth's pov!!
With all the courage I gathered and went to her and all that she said was "you want an autograph?" What the fish! Did she really mean it? But her voice was same as the day of our break-up, cold and fierce. Has she really moved on? It's so frustrating I need a drink.

Well welcoming new year had turned out to be worst in both the cases. Shehnaaz had left the restaurant after 15 minutes. The seen was a torcher for her, Sidharth sharing his drink with Aashi was something she didn't expect, when she was right present there he still had the audacity to do. Seeing things on social media and seeing this she was now sure that he has moved on with his life.

She left saying meeti that she isn't well and she'll go n rest. Meeti wanted to come along but shehnaaz said you should better on the guy who's approaching and she'll call her if she needs anything.

She went straight to her room reaching the hotel and cried her heart out.

Sidharth was no less..he wanted to cry, he wanted to scream, he wanted to sort out, he wanted her in her arms but he couldn't. He roamed his eyes to find her but couldn't. He only saw meeti and then realisation hit him hard. He sharing drinks. No no no..she can't leave, she can't think that I've moved on. Why is love so painful?

1st Jan

To their utmost shock both woke up at different places with a severe headache. One had slept crying and the other didn't know who bought him to the hotel.

Sidharth groaned in pain..he pulled his hair and went to the washroom and just went under hot shower.

While on the other hand shehnaaz was no less. She saw the other side of the bed and found meeti missing, which meant the date was set.

Why was she not getting this love, this pampering? Is she so unworthy of these things? Why did everyone had to leave her after time? Why can't they stay with her, when they promise the moon, the stars she only wanted forever! Why was she so unloved? Why wasn't she worth? Why?? She cried thinking. She cried thinking of all the moments spent with Sidharth and then she remembered yesterday. Was he really never in love with her? How couldn't she guess? How could he? Was a month enough for him to move on? All promises, all praises were nothing but just fake? She was crying when her phone rang she just declined the call and switched off her phone. She was not in a mood to talk to anyone, infact not in a condition. She wanted peace, she wanted to go somewhere where there would no one and no traces of love. She just wanted peace, she had her concert tomorrow and she just prayed he did not show up there. She couldn't get the courage again to face him. Not again she thought.

Shehnaaz spent her whole day in her room with her phone off, whereas sidharth was no less restless. He got to know she had a concert and he would definitely go. He had to ask for forgiveness. He had alot to say and time was less. The new year didn't seem to give to give a new rise or hope to shehnaaz because she knew if this he came she would go weak. But for sidharth the new year was a new hope. He had to clear the things and work on relationship with shehnaaz. He wanted to apologise for what he did 6 months back. He was guilty.
These 6 months were a loss for both of them.

It was evening when sidharth moved out with his friends. His friends definitely got to know about shehnaaz. Well he was drunk and he couldn't stop talking about shehnaaz. He was all guilty and even cried saying how much he misses her. It was all his fault. And sidharth remembered nothing. Despite trying he couldn't remember anything about last night. Sighing he went with his friends who seemed to be normal. They were roaming on the streets randomly clicking pictures and enjoying street food.

Where shehnaaz slept, she woke up around 6 and the first thing she did was to switch on her phone. There were multiple notifications on her phone. She called her mom and said everything is fine, she was partying that's why her phone was off and nothing to worry about. She wished her new year and hung the call. She saw multiple msgs from meeti.. she just texted she is fine and not to spoil her day and enjoy.

She ordered food for herself, gave her a pep talk while the food arrived. Well the new year did not turn out to be as planned for both of them.

2nd January

It was early morning when meeti barged in. Shehnaaz was still sleeping. Well sleep was the only escape as of now. She was just not ready the face nor was she prepared to fight..fight with her feelings. Yet she was drowning!

Meeti had happily entered but her smile faded seeing shehnaaz all pale. She knew something was up. She was cursing herself for not being there..she gave priority to the date.. Fuck! How could she?

She sat on her bed beside her and ran her fingers on her hair.. Shehnaaz woke up with a jerk.

You scared me bitch said shehnaaz

Chill it's me who else to be..kya hua tujhe you look pale? Kitna royi? said meeti

Nothing meeti..was just cursing my fate.. bachpan me mummy papa left..fir wapis aaye..fir i left for my dreams..and look papa still does not talk.. don't know what more to see.. I'm scared now..god is in no mood to spare me..and today is like my final exam..I either pass or I fail.

Aisa kya hone wala aaj asked meeti puzzled

Wohi to mujhe bhi nahi pata..pata hota to mai pass ho jati..mai prepared rehti but it's all of a sudden or mujhe prepare karne ka time to chod mujhe exam ke results bhi instant hai.

You're making me more confused sana..kya hua hai?

Nothing tu chill kar tu bata how was your date?

It was nice..but it was not a date..he said me clearly it's a no string attached , so i said why to attach strings? Let's just chit chat and roam around..why to warm up beds..when we have so much to explore..the warming up will be later if anyone of us falls weak and makes the other weak too..and he laughed..and we did the unexpected.. roaming around.. talking nothing but nonsensical one's.. drinking like fish and ending up on bed cuddling..but but we did exchange numbers..

So good to hear that said shehnaaz smiling

Where Sidharth got up early he was prepared to set things. It's high time now..he had realised his mistakes.

"He mistook his insecurities to his priorities..he loved her and not just loved it was a soul connection. Like people say you've a soul connection..which is hard to find and he did find her and he was running away from that"

His thoughts broke with a loud bang on his door..he groaned and opened the door to find all his friends running inside his room to find some drugs or diamond

What's wrong guys? Did I steal your diamond?

No said kushal

We're going fir shehnaaz gill's concert..badi mushkil se passes intezam kiye hai said Aashi smirking

And his smile grew wider..he couldn't stop smiling. He had forgotten about the passes. His moti baby was now famous and he couldn't listen to her songs for free in his house.

2nd Jan (evening)
To say shehnaaz was not restless would be an understatement..she was having anxiety..she was feeling all again positive..she knew he was here..she was having these feelings in her stomach whenever he was around. Will he come today? Will he talk to me? All sorts of questions were running in her mind. How will she handle him this time? How?? Get a grip shehnaaz, hold on to your feelings.. itni easily maafi? But will he even ask for forgiveness? But why will he..he has a girlfriend..he has moved on..then why is he here? Tears started brimming her eyes..no shehnaaz don't make up kharab ho jayega.. you've go n sing n to add to it face him.

The other side sidharth and his friends were all excited..they did hear her songs after getting to know about her. And one thing they knew was that he was a marvelous singer..her voice was soothing.

Sidharth was eagerly waiting for it to start..he was having anxiety..he wanted to see her as soon as possible. His heartbeat was erratic. He'll definitely faint if she does not come in 2 mins and it was like gos heard him and there came shehnaaz looking all gorgeous.She wore a black leather pants with a complimenting black crop top which fitted perfectly along with a black and golden embroidered bandi (shrug) enhancing the look and making her look more beautiful. The mirror work on the bandi made it stand out and twinkled like her eyes. Her curly brown hair with nude make up. She was setting the stage on fire just with her looks. The clicking sounds of her heels and then the lights fell on her and the crowd hooted.

Her eyes roamed around the crowd with a smile. She knew he was here and then she spotted him, he was having a big smiling hooting loudly for her. For a second she forgot and she smiled in tears..in these 6 months she always wanted him by her side supporting her.. cheering for her and today he was.. clapping, hooting and cheering for her.

(MUSIC.....)

Jab jab tere paas main aaya, Ik sukoon mila
Jise main tha bhoolta aaya, Wo wajood mila
Jab aaye mausam gumm ke, Tujhe yaad kiya
Jab sehme tanhapan se, Tujhe yaad kiya
Dil.. Sambhal ja zara
Phir mohabbat karne chala hai tu
Dil.. yahin ruk jaa zara
Phir mohabbat karne chala hai tu

And it was like sidharth froze at the moment..his legs were not able to move and he stood like a statue listening her sing the song

Aisa kyun kar hua janoon naa
Main janoon na
Dil sambhal ja zara
Phir mohabbat karne chala hai tu
Dil yahin ruk ja zara
Phir mohabbat karne chala hai tu

Shehnaaz was no less..she remembered how they used to pamper each other..well 2 years it was just them and their love blossoming..and now again standing here after 6 months of break up she has no control over her feelings. She's drowning again.

Kuch bhi nahi Jab darmayaan
Phir kyun hai dil, tere hi khwaab bunta
Chaaha ki de, tujhko bhula
Par yeh bhi mumkin ho na sakaa..
Kya hai yeh maamla, Janun na
Main janoon naa

And these lines hit sidharth straight. Was she saying her feelings through this song? He was in a dilemma. He needs to talk to her as soon as possible. He cannot wait now!

Dil sambhal ja zara
Phir mohabbat karne chala hai tu
Dil yahin ruk ja zara
Phir mohabbat karne chala hai tu
Dil sambhal ja zara
Phir mohabbat karne chala hai tu...

Keeping the eye lock maintained she finished the song. But sidharth stood rooted,no movements. His eyes locked with her and it was like just both of them standing afar holding on there feelings. And the crowd cheered loud.

Shehnaaz left the stage and so did sidharth. He ran after her to reach the green room. Hiding away from people he finally reached there. Taking deep breaths and gathering courage he turned the knob and enter inside. He could hear the water running and he knew she was inside.

Exactly after 5 minutes she came outside to see sidharth locking the door of the room and leaning on the door with his hands folded on his chest, just exactly like the first time.

Excuse me! You're not allowed here.. please bahar jaye.. I'm coming outside..and who gave you the permission to come inside..koi hai nahi kya bahar? No body stopped you?

You really wanna play with me? Don't you? Huhh!

Excuse me?

Excused and with that he went towards her and grabbed her arm

Ye kya battamezi hai, aap mujhe aise nahi pakad sakte, mujhe dard ho raha, Aah haath chodiye mera but sidharth was deaf. He didn't listen to her words. He acted deaf to all that she spoke and twisted her hand back.

"Sidhhaarth chodiye mujhe"

And as the words escaped her mouth he pinned her to the nearest wall and said "yaad aa gaya kaun hu mai?" Huhh! Say

Not again sidharth not again..you just cannot enter like this I've come to work here..please don't create problems from me.

Pagaal ho gaya hu mai tumhare bina he said gripping her face and coming close

The same dialogue sidharth,the same not a word different, pichle baar bhi yehi bola tha or bade ache se aapne mujhe apne pyaar ke jaal me fasaya tha. Iss baar nahi hoga aisa kuch sidharth..iss baar aap mujhe buddhu nahi bana sakte mujhe she said shouting

maine tumhe apne jal me fasaya..are you even listening to yourself..kya bakwas kar rahi? Haa? Maine buddhu banaya? What has gotten into you? Was I alone in that relationship? Buddhu banaya? Do you even realise how hard it was for me? These 6 months away not only from my home but altogether a different environment.

Sidharth please mujhe kuch nahi sunna and I'm quite sure apke liye ache honge..or please mai koi tamasha nahi chahti..aap jao apne friends or girl fri.. whatever jo bhi hai wo leave me. And how can you just drag me like this? Aur kis haq se? Aapko ab koi haq nahi banta or na koi haq hai aapka samajh aaya she said trying to come out of his hold

Yaad dilau kis haq se? Haa? Oh wait a second girlfriend have you stalked me Ms. Gill? Or tumhe lagta hai I've a girlfriend. Kya baat hai, kya baat hai, sahi hai! Bilkul sahi pehchana hai tune mujhe

Jaan hi toh nahi payi aapko sidharth..I wish I knew you she whispered

Or mujhe jo dard hua hai huhh uska kya? He said cupping her face immensely close to his lips.

Siiddhharthh..iss baar nahi same dialogue fir se, she whispered..or aap khud ko itna importance na de maine aapko koi stalk nahi hai..now leave me..sidharth I'm not an ordinary girl now, media knows I'm here please sidharth

And sidharth again pulled her with him to the washroom and locked it.

Shehnaaz look at me he said pleading

No..leave me she wriggled

He moved his face closer to her ears sending shivers and whispered look at me meri jaan

Nahi dekhna leave me meeti aa jayegi sidharth please..

You've stalked me? He asked

Stalking ki baat aap na kare toh acha hoga she said

Kyu maine kya kiya?

Aapko nahi pata aapne kya kiya? Haa? SidNaaz ke naam se fake account banaya..huhh..mai dekhte rehti hu apne followers ko..time laga mujhe 2 din to crack it but eventually I did..Ab jaan liya na.. Kyu time waste kar rahe aap apna or mera bhi please sidharth koi jaan jayega siyappa ho jayega mere saath.. headline ban jaungi Punjabi industry me

That's not my call..baat kar mujhse..tu bol deti ro deti..you vent out so it's only you the one who's suffering and hurt? Sirf tu hurt hoti? And because i don't say means I don't feel? Mujhe hurt nahi hota? Hurt mujhe bhi hota hai shehnaaz

Ab 6 mahine baad kya? Sabit kya karna chah rahe aap? Haa? Ab kar li na baatein please jaye mujhe akele chode aap

Shehnaaz please ek baar meri baat sun le n then I'll leave..the ball is in your court this time..you get to decide bs meri baat sun le

Haath chodiye mera dard ho raha or bathroom me kyu laye aap..bhagwaan.. siyappa ho jana hai haath chodiye sidharth dard ho raha sach me

And he left her hands and caught hold her waist..and walked out of the washroom.

He made her sit on the chair and knelt down infront of her, holding her hands he said

It's been 6 months shehnaaz and trust me these 6 months have been hell for me. Sabse pehli baat I don't have a girlfriend or maine account bhi isiliye public rakha tha so you can visit my account any time. Maine fake account SIDNAAZ ke name se banaya because me n you are connected not just by heart but soul. And trust me ye naam bahut instant bana mere dimaag me just to stalk you. I've my reasons for break up shehnaaz. I was in dilemma, tujhe pata hai mai kitna possessive hu or kitna protective hu tujhe lekar. I know you can fight your own battles and do everything but still, ye long distance was something jo mujhe laga it won't be possible.

Or ye mat sochna mai tujhpe bharosa nahi karta ya nahi karunga. Mai khud pe nahi karta jaan. I'm scared my possessiveness may damage you, scared that you may find someone better for your in your field. It took alot of me to say you what I said 6 months back. Tere pass fir bhi sab log the mere pass kaun tha shehnaaz?

I had no shoulder to cry on. The misery I faced this 6 month I know it was me who decided so I had to face it. Daily phone me tera contact nikalta tha bs call nahi kar pata tha. Because somewhere I had a fear tu nahi uthayegi phone. Mai India aana chahta tha samne samne solve karna chahta but nahi ho pa raha.

Everyday I've died just to talk to you. Naina se bhi nahi pucha tere bare me. Maa used to talk about you or mereko bahut control karna padta tha so that I don't break infront of her.

It's been long since last I touched you, felt your warmth, listened to you nonsensical talks, told you that I love you that I miss you. I thought I would slowly slowly overcome but I'm drowning more n more into it. Every night I've wished to call you to say sorry, for you to forgive me. I know I was insecure and with these insecurities I spoiled our 6 months. Every morning I've thought I would be hugging you, peppering kisses on you. I've been longing for your mere touch. Then mai girlfriend kaise bana leta shehnaaz. There's no one who can replace you and Aashi is just a friend of mine. She holds no place in my heart.
It's you n it will always be you.
I'm sorry shehnaaz.. I'm so...and his words eaten while shehnaaz placed her lips on his.

And this feeling being kissed he craved for 6 months. He felt at peace and felt like every cell of his body dancing. Kissing eachother until they were satisfied.

Breaking the kiss, taking high breaths and looking into eachother with moist eyes both said together "I love you..I love you so much"

Shehnaaz hugged him tight and cried in his embrace. How much she missed his presence.

Kabhi nahi chodenge na ab? Next time I won't be able take it.

Never shehnaaz never..n that's a promise he said hugging her tight.

I love you..I love you she said kissing his face all over and painting him with her love

I Love you too meri jaan he said taking her lips for a searing kiss. How much he craved for her..his heart knows!

And how much she craved for him her heart knows!

1 year n 6 months

Shehnaaz gill is a name not only in Punjabi industry all over in India. With her success in web series and songs she has become a face for many promotional brand.

Her father talked to after an year n now they are a happy family. Shehnaaz has her own in mumbai. Her parents have shifted to her new house. Her new house is in the same apartment just below the floor of sidharth's house.

Sidharth and shehnaaz talk on daily basis accordingly. Shehnaaz had visited Germany multiple times. Sidharth would make an excuse of staying at his friends house and would end up at a hotel with shehnaaz. They used to fight but more than that they used to love.

Sidharth used to guide her about some of the males in her circle and she used to patiently listen and do as he said.

Last week shehnaaz broke the news to there parents of them dating for 4 years. And to say there parents are not shocked would be an understatement. Naina was the happiest because finally she does not have to be a third wheel.

Sidharth has successfully his Pg and is returning to India Today..not knowing the surprise waiting at the airport.

Shehnaaz is waiting for her love at the airport. It's time for the world to know who shehnaaz gill belongs to and vice versa.

With a bouquet of roses in her one hand and a ring on the other hand she saw him coming. Kneeling down on her knees she forwarded her the bouquet. To say that Sidharth was shocked? No!
He was on a different planet today.

He was having tears in the corner of his eyes. Taking the bouquet he knelt down but she said him to stand up and he did oblige.

Opening the box of the ring, she said will you marry me sidharth?

And everyone out at the airport cheered for the couple and shouted say yes!!

He just nodded his head, happy tears falling from his eyes and she made him wear that ring. With that he knelt infront of her and took her in a bear hug.

I love you would be shehnaaz gill shukla he said

I love you too Sidharth shukla Gill

And as the words escaped her mouth he broke the hug and looked at her

Kya sirf mai hi badlu title tu bhi badal..saath saath hai na hum..she said with a mischievous smile

Ok madam samajh gaya mai ab chale ghar said sidharth

After you sir! She said giggling

And that's how the world knew the famous Dr. Sidharth shukla belonged to the famous singer & actor Shehnaaz gill.

Do give a read below it's important for you'll to know!

Hello hie.. so this was the last part..I hope that the wait was worth. I hope I didn't deviate from the story. Well this is the longest I've written. Actually this whole book was a roller coaster for me. I really enjoyed writing this. I had to change the whole plot after 3rd chapter I feel because of the happy ending demanded but never mind.

This was just an experimental story.. I just wanted to try my hand on different topics and this having a crush on your neighbour is pretty normal. I have one more short story plot but no I will not write I've a lot of things pending!

Coming back to the books I've published..first I've to complete "Roomates And then I'll start writing "Accidentally in love and "Strangers to just friends" with "Love horizon"
She swiped right into my heart has been unpublished.
I don't think I'll be able to complete that story. So sorry for being unprofessional but I just couldn't. That story was some like a burden to me.

So please keep patience I've just recovered and there's a long way for me to go. Thank you for all the love and support.

Vote n comment if you liked the story!! N even share if you think it's worth.

Signing off from this book!!!!
Once again thank you for all the love!!
