Note :- Thoughts in Italics
***************************
Her sweet slumber got disturbed by the chirping of birds ,she groaned and looked at the clock beside her bed.

7:25 a.m.

She read and quickly threw her blanket,sighing she picked up her phone.As soon as she opened her account, the beeping sound of her phone filled her room.She focused on her screen and checked all her dms while murmuring some incoherent words here and there.

Sana:fuck

She shouted only to put a hand on her mouth realizing that she is not alone in the house.For god sake Shehnaaz, there are two kids in the house.

Sana:I will have to go to the studio today

After making a mental note in her mind and taking a relaxing bath,she moved out of her bedroom.As she moved towards the living room,she saw Sidharth sitting on the couch while talking to someone.

Sid:Sameer try to understand I can't come man

Sameer:Sidharth from two weeks your not coming to office and we really need you here today

Sid:but I am handling things online very well

Sameer:I know but everything can't be done online

If it was any other person ,he wouldn't dare to talk to Sidharth like that afterall he is the boss but it's Sameer. He was not just an employee, he was more a friend to Sidharth.

Sid:fine I will try

Sidharth disconnected the call and threw his phone on the couch.He frustratedly ran his hand through his hair.After so many years when he finally want to give his whole time to his family, but he can't.

Earlier ,he didn't wanted and now destiny didn't wanted. He chuckled thinking about it.He wanted to win Sameera back,spend more time with Sidhansh, become a better father and also spend time with Shehnaaz.

Wait,where did this come from?

His thoughts suddenly stopped when he realized what he last said.

Sana:any problem?

Shehnaaz said while plopping down on the couch beside him.Sidharth who didn't knew about her presence ,looked at her .

He couldn't stop but notice how she was looking at him with her raised eyebrows and her eyes which had become more small.Her hair was tied in a bun.She was looking like a freshly bloomed flower.

Shehnaaz who noticed his staring ,could feel heat rising on her cheeks.She kept looking at him and trying out to figure him .His tired red eyes,messy hairs,the white tshirt which had small crisps on the sides,his lips which were both rough and soft made him look so.....so hot.

But not wanting some embarrassing moment, she cleared her throat.

Sid:huh

Sana:how are you fine?

Sid:yeah,yeah(fumbling)

Sana:doesn't look like Siddy boy

Shehnaaz said in a childish teasing voice and ruffled his hair to which Sidharth made an annoyed face .Shehnaaz couldn't help but laugh and murmur like father like son.

Sana:but seriously what's the problem Sidharth

Sid:Sameer called me and informed there's an important meeting today and I have to come to office

Sana:and you don't want to go?

Sidharth firstly looked at her with surprise and then nodded.

Sid:yes,after so many years I finally think I have a chance with my family, be the best dad for them.......and I haven't even given my 100 percent efforts to win back Sameera,I don't want her to feel that I am neglecting her

Sana:okay but don't you have other people also who are looking forward towards you,respect you and want your attention too?......Sidharth, they and you both have put your efforts in that work,your company so how can you let it down ?

Sid:but what if -

Sana:no ifs,buts......and I know both Sidharth and Sameera will understand your situation......so now go and take a shower fast

Shehnaaz pushed him towards his room despite his objections .She closed the door and huffed .

Sana:one work done

She said while wiping the invisible sweat on her forehead.
*******************
Sana:Good morning my babies

Shehnaaz shouted as she saw Sidhansh and Sameera coming out of their rooms.She said that intentionally knowing well that they don't like it and exactly that only happened.

Sameera/Sidhansh:we are not babies naazu

Both shouted together and then chuckled while shaking their heads.Shehnaaz stood up and signalled them to sit while she served their breakfast.

Sidhansh:where's dad?

Sana:he got an important work from office so he had to go

Sidhansh:ohh okay

Sidhansh said and then started stuffing his mouth with the tasty parathas .

Sana:you both are not sad,right?

Sameera/Sidhansh:no

Sameera:it's fine naazu,work is important as well and I'm glad that he went cuz I didn't wanted to leave his work for me

Sidhansh:I second that

Yeah,I mean why would he even do that for me......geez

Samaira thought and shook her head while continuing eating.After their little talk ,the trio started eating again .There was a comfortable silence in the room until Sidhansh realized something and shouted .

Sidhansh:No ,No.......How can I forget,Shit

Samaira and Shehnaaz both got startled hearing his voice and looked at him with worried eyes.

Sana:what happened kiddo?.....what did you forgot?

Sidhansh:I have my football practice with the couch in half an hour (looking scared)

Samaira:hey,it's okay.......it will be the first time you will be late,I am sure he will let it pass

Sidhansh/Sana:no way

Shehnaaz and Sidhansh both said together knowing very well how his couch is.Samaira looked at them confused but innerly cringed.

What's with people syncing words today

Sidhansh:Naazu I am going to get ready,can you please drop me ?

Sana:sure ,but breakfast-

Sidhansh:ohh ,I have had enough

Saying that Sidhansh into his room in full speed while Shehnaaz just shook her head in disbelief. She resumed eating her food and signalled Samaira to also do the same.

Samaira:is his couch really so bad?

Sana:why don't you come with us and see yourself ?

Samaira:okay

Shehnaaz looked at her shockingly and blinked her eyes twice.She was just joking and thought Samaira wouldn't go with her.But her answer shocked her.

Did she just agreed to go with me?

Sidhansh:bye naazu,Sam

Sidhansh said after he got out of the car ,ready to move towards his team. Luckily he reached the ground in 20 minutes,thanks to Shehnaaz's driving skills.

Sana:why is your practice here?shouldn't it be in your school ground?

Sidhansh:actually it's the fifth time we are practicing and let me tell you our every practice was vigorous........our Principal thought it was enough but couch wanted another practice to which our principal didn't allowed and didn't gave him permission.......but our couch is a stubborn as- person so he decided to conduct our practice in this ground

Sidhansh said the story in one breath and then took deep breaths .Shehnaaz wanted to hit the coach's head so hard but controlled herself. She reluctantly nodded and told Sidhansh to go.

Realizing that he has only 5 minutes, he picked up his bag and dashed towards the couch.

Sana:there's a park nearby, let's go there till Sidhansh completes his practice

Samaira:okay

Samaira listening to the story with an amused expression and by the end of the story,she also didn't had any civilized thoughts.

He is really a stubborn ass

Wait a minute-that's why Sidhansh was not feeling well when he returned from school......my poor baby

Argh,I want to slap this couch of his so hard

And also the other children-

Before Samaira can think any further ,Shehnaaz called her and she replied with an okay.

Sana:so

Samaira:so

Shehnaaz said as soon as they sat on the bench trying to start a conversation. This wasn't the first time they were talking to each other but it definitely was the first time ,they were going to have a proper conversation.

Oh my god,why I am so nervous.....she is just a teenager

Yeah,a teanger whom you are scared of

Her brain retorted and she muttered a "shut up" to it.She wasn't scared but nervous.But nervous about what?

Sana:we actually didn't had a proper conversation ever

Samaira:I guess yes

Sana:so let's start with intro......Hi,I am Shehnaaz, 27

Samaira:Samaira, 17

Sana:favourite hobbies?

Samaira:poetry,sketching

One you missed out

That isn't a hobby,it's my passion buddy

Her brain told her to which she rolled her eyes and replied with an invisible smirk.

Hobby is something which we do for fun and in our leisure time but passion is something for which we live for ,nurture it and try to do it constantly. Passion thrives us,completes our life .

Samaira:yours?

Sana:I don't have much hobbies but yeah,I like singing ,dancing and chatting

Samaira:cool,you are multi-talented

Shehnaaz chuckled hearing her and then her phone beeped.She looked at the screen and innerly groaned.Her number had decreased and not by one or two but 10.But this time it was her fault only, not the system's.

She hadn't posted anything since one whole day neither did any add nor sponsored anything.She opened her dm section and started seeing all the messages .

Just then something clicked her.

Studio for Photoshoot

Samaira:you can go to the studio and finish your work.......I will be here,don't worry (smiling)

Sana:did I say it aloud?

Samaira:yup but honestly I can take care of myself, you can go

Sana:but-

Shehnaaz's mind was filled with numerous thoughts and she was not willing to leave Samaira alone .Firstly she was new here and Shehnaaz didn't knew whether she knew about the routes or not .Secondly, she didn't know how much time she is gonna take.

Samaira:I am not a kid naazu ,I will take care of myself and I know the routes.......now,go

Samaira said while playfully pushing her towards the exit.

Deja vu

Shehnaaz said in her mind thinking about the morning moment.Shehnaaz turned around and last time reassuringly looked at her and waved .Samaira also waved back at her and then turned towards the park as Shehnaaz left.

Samaira:so it's just me here,wow

She looked at her phone and thought to play the games that Max installed in her phone.She chuckled remembering the time she was seeing him installing those and told that she would never play those stupid games.

Samaira:but now I guess I don't have any other op-

She stopped talking when her eyes settled on a thing .She squeezed her eyes,trying to concentrate more and when she was confirmed that it was that only. She didn't took a minute and dashed towards it.

Samaira:Hi

The boy turned around and saw Samaira excitedly looking at her.

Boy:Hi

Samaira:can I use your skateboard, please

Samaira said while looking at the skateboard lovingly. It has been so many days that she hasn't skated.She was missing it so much.

Boy:No

That was ru-........unexpected, actually rude only,huff

Samaira:pretty please

Boy:no,I don't share things with strangers

Samaira:okay,let's be friends then......Hi,I am Samaira, now can I please

Samaira said as sweetly as possible and tried to persuade him but her eyes went wide when she saw something. His eyes suddenly started getting glossy as tears started brimming in them.

I didn't used any bad word.....I swear,I neither did anything bad to him

Wait did I just scared a kid- Hell,no

Her eyes snapped when she heard a distant voice of a girl.

Girl:Rishi
