Shehnaaz woke up by the sound of birds chirping. She spread out her arms and yawned a bit.She removed the blanket and got up from the bed.Shefali is not at home as she had went to a small trip of three days with her office colleagues. Shehnaaz was a bit uncomfortable with his sudden trip but didn't showed it to Shefali. The main reason of her disappointment was that she had to manage everything by herself starting from cooking to cleaning.

Sana:chal Sana kaam pe lag ja

She didn't knew much about cooking so just cooked bread butter and coffee for herself. Setting them in a tray ,she took it to her bedroom and sat on her bed.She unlocked her phone and started going through her emails.

Many of them were for Promotions regarding different products. She mentally made up her mind to discuss it with Shefali and choose wisely.Shefali was her bestfriend cum manager .Suddenly she got a call from her mom and picked it up.

Sana:hi mom

Sana mom:hello beta,how are you

Sana:I'm fine mom,how's everyone at home

Sana mom:sab ache hai beta ,bohot miss karte hai tumhe sab

Sana:yeah except Ajay(in her mind)me too mom,I am missing you and dad a lot

Sana mom: so why did you shifted Sana?

Sana:mom not again,I have told you here are better opportunities for me

Sana mom:fine,how's Shefali

Sana:she is great

Shehnaaz talked with her mom some more time and then disconnected the call .She groaned and rubbed her forehead.She had thought to leave Delhi for once but shrugged it .But when that loneliness started haunting her and scaring her with the fact that at the end she will be only left out,she made up her mind to leave.Here in Mumbai,she is feeling like a fresh flower that has finally bloomed. She finished her breakfast and stood up.

Sana:aaj Sidhansh ka match hai ,I hope acha jaye

Sidhansh had just entered the building returning back from his school.He was very happy and literally dancing in his mind.The match was great and his team won it.He was very excited to show the trophy to Shehnaaz and his dad.Being the captain of the team ,he was given the trophy to keep with himself for a week and then return it back to the school.

He stopped on his floor and looked infront. The joy,happiness soon converted into confusion.He was thinking where he should go first.His mind was battling with two thoughts.First,he should go to Shehnaaz as she was the one who had supported him so much and had waited to see him win it .Secondly,he should go to his dad though he didn't knew the fact that he had a match today but as a  right ,shouldn't he go to him first.He was constantly battling with his mind and closed his eyes to think nicely.He was so engrossed in his mind that he it took him a second to notice that his legs had already taken the decision.

He looked infront and found him infront of Shehnaaz's house.He shut his mind and then rang the doorbell. After five minutes,a smiling Shehnaaz opened the door.She was surprised seeing Sidhansh infront of her and then noticed his shy smile.

Sana:hi kiddo,you here...you had your match right?

Sidhansh:yeah I know,hum yahi baat karenge ya andar chale

Sana:oh shit,sorry kiddo...come inside

They both entered inside and sat on the couch.Shehnaaz looked at him suspiciously and noticed him hiding something in his back. Sidhansh sat on the couch and kept the trophy carefully hiding it behind his back.

Sana:kya chupa rahe ho?

Sidhansh:kya ,main?kuch bhi toh nahi

Sana:don't lie kiddo and show me what are you hiding

Sidhansh:fine but listen to me first

Sana:okay

Sidhansh:actually in today's match...I

Sana:yeah tell fast

Sidhansh:wo I

Sidhansh intentionally started fumbling while making a sad face to tease her.Shehnaaz saw him fumbling and his sad face and noticed maybe he had lose.She didn't wanted to make him more sad so tried to change the topic.

Sana:let it be Sidhansh.....you want cookies,I will bring some

Sidhansh frowned on seeing her going and changing the topic.Damn he didn't wanted this,he wanted her to force him to ask about the match's result.He noticed Shehnaaz standing and leaving. He quickly left the drama.

Sidhansh:Sidhansh leave the drama,she is taking it seriously (in his mind)I have won the match(shouted)

Shehnaaz turned around and saw him with wide eyes.She took sometime to register his words and when she finally did,a broad smile came on her face. She ran towards him and again sat beside him.

Sana:you are not kidding right?

Sidhansh:nope my cute friend, I was kidding at the first but not now.....I have really won the match and see this

Sidhansh took out the trophy from behind and showed it to her .Shehnaaz smiled seeing the trophy and then kept it aside.Sidhansh got confused seeing her but then he felt two hands hugging him.He realized that it was Shehnaaz who was hugging him.He was shocked at first but later hugged her back.In that hug he found that missing warmth which he had missed since his childhood, the motherly warmth.He so wanted to be held by someone like this and wanted someone who could be as happy as him on his success. Shehnaaz on the other hand was very happy for him and feeling proud on him. It seemed like she had only won the match.

Shehnaaz broke the hug and kissed his forehead.She ruffled his hairs making him little annoyed but none the less he didn't stopped her.

Sana:I am so happy for you and proud of you champ

Sidhansh:thank you

Sana:wait a second it means that in the first you were intentionally making that sad face

Sidhansh:yeah just to tease you a bit and god you took it seriously also(laughing)

Sana:you are so bad kiddo ,I had literally believed it....and now you are laughing, just wait and watch

Shehnaaz moved forward towards him and started tickling him.

Sidhansh:no stop....haha...please....hahahaha stop

Shehnaaz stopped and looked at him.He was still giggling and smiling. She was happy seeing him like this.She herself was not getting that why she is getting so attached with this boy and being so happy seeing him smiling. She shrugged her thoughts and decided to just live the moment.

Sana:cookies?

Sidhansh:ofcourse

Shehnaaz started to move towards the kitchen but stopped midway hearing his words.

Sidhansh:naazu

Shehnaaz turned around and looked at him surprisingly. Nobody has ever called her by this name and it was also the first time he was calling her this.Sidhansh saw her surprised look and realized what he said.

Sidhansh:can I call you naazu?actually you are too young so I couldn't call you aunty and offend you and secondly I can't call you by your name....and since you have  given me a nickname, I can also give

Sidhansh gave the reasons justifying himself. Shehnaaz chuckled hearing the offend word .She had been called aunty by kids but not got offended but she felt good when Sidhansh called her naazu.

Sana:you can call me anything kiddo and naazu seems good,I loved it

Sidhansh smiled and later both started chatting while eating cookies .Sidhansh noticed that it was too late and he should go home now.

Sidhansh:I am going home ,dad must be worried

Sana:okay....btw what about a small party in my house in evening

Sidhansh:Idk if dad would agree

Sana:I will ask your dadi

Sidhansh:she has gone to bua's house

Sana:okay then I will ask your dad....btw how his behaviour I mean how's he

Shehnaaz had never met his dad so she was nervous to talk to him.She was scared what if he was a rude man.

Sidhansh:I really don't know(whisper)
******************
Sidharth had just completed his meeting with one of the business associates .He layed back on the couch and rubbed his forehead.He came out from his room and looked at his house.Indeed he was feeling completely alone,right now.Having no one talk to .He was missing his mom and Sidhansh.He hadn't gone to school to pick him because he had an important meeting so had told the driver.

Sid:it's really late but why Sidhansh has not come yet

He was going to dial Sidhansh's driver number but got a call from Mr. Sharma,the owner of the new house .

Mr. Sharma:hello Mr. Shukla,I wanted to ask when you are shifting here

Sid:actually Mr. Sharma,my mom is not at home right now,she has gone to my sister's house so after she comes,we will shift

Mr. Sharma:okay Mr. Shukla but try to shift soon

Sid:hmm

Sidharth disconnected the call and heard the doorbell. He moved towards the door and opened it.He saw Sidhansh standing there .

Sid:Ansh where were you?

Sidhansh:dad actually I had a match and then I had went to naa....our neighbour's house

Sid:okay...go freshen up and change

Sidhansh went inside his room to freshen up.Sidharth didn't questioned him as he saw that he was already tired but in his mind he couldn't stop thinking that why Sidhansh went there directly coming back and not his own home.Somehow maybe he was getting jealous of his neighour but didn't wanted to accept it.

Sid:Sidharth you are thinking too much,stop it and prepare something for Sidhansh
