Shehnaaz was sitting sadly in her hotel room, being totally lost in her thoughts, when suddenly she heard a knock at the door.

As soon as she opened the door, she saw Sidharth standing.

"Andar aa sakta hoon?" He asked.

"Sure." She replied with a forceful smile and he came inside.

"You are okay na? I thought you need some space so I didn't disturb you."

"No no I'm absolutely fine." Said Shehnaaz composing herself. "I was prepared for this. Elena Ryan ki current girlfriend hai toh... Yeh sab toh hona hi tha. Bas unko waise waha dekh ke, main shocked hogayi thi. Kitna kuch socha tha uss se kahungi lekin uss time, main kuch bol hi nahi paayi.... Anyway leave it!"

Shehnaaz sat on the bed and held her head in frustration.

"Toh ab kya?" Asked Sidharth further.

"I seriously don't know." Said Shehnaaz sighing. "I mean, tumne Elena ko dekha na? She is so hot, so attractive, just like some heroine. Uske saamne main kuch bhi nahi hoon. Ek toh aisi bhondu jaisi shakal hai upar se jhalli hoon, barbar karti rehti hu, idhar udhar girti padti rehti hoon, hadh se zyada emotional hoon, baat baat pe ro deti hoon... Paata nahi Ryan ne college mein bhi kaise mujhe jhel liya. He actually deserves better."

Sidharth felt pain in his heart seeing her demeaning herself. He couldn't believe this was the same girl whom he met few days back, who used to love herself.

"Socha tha Ryan ke dil mein kahi na kahi main abhi bhi hoon. Agar main uske saamne aayi toh, usko humare saath bitaye acche pal yaad aa jaayenge. Par main galat thi. Woh khush hai Elena ke saath. He is not even missing me."

"Then force him to miss you!" Said Sidharth loudly making Shehnaaz look at him in confusion.

Sidharth sat near her and said, "Tumhe pata hai tumhari problem kya hai? Tum har chiz ke liye khud ko zinmedar thehra rahi ho. Ek ladka chhor ke kya chala gaya tumne khud ko pura ka pura badal liya. Shehnaaz iss mein galti uski hai, usne tumhe cheat kiya. So he is the one who should suffer, not you. You know tum jaisi ladkiyon ko taken for granted lena hi chahiye. Jiski khud ki koi self respect hi nahi hai. Itna sab kuch hone ke baad tumhe usse rulana chahiye, par nahi, tum yaaha baith ke uske liye ro rahi ho."

"Toh aur kya karu main?"

"It's time for revenge." Said Sidharth in a serious tone. "Uss chutiye ki akal tab tak thikane nahi aayegi jab tak usse apni hi medicine ka dose na mile. Usko samjha do ki tumhe uski nahi usse tumhari zaroorat hai. Dikha do usse ki woh kya miss kar raha hai..... I have a plan."

"Plan? Kaisa plan?"

Sidharth took a deep breath and held Shehnaaz's hands tightly.

"Do you trust me?" He asked looking into her eyes.

Shehnaaz looked into his eyes and smiled.

"Iss waqt agar mujhe kisi insaan pe trust hai toh woh sirf tum ho Sidharth."

Sidharth smiled hearing that and said, "Good. Now listen to me carefully. Our plan is....."

As Sidharth continued, Shehnaaz's eyes got widened hearing about his plan.

Next day...

Ryan was sitting lazily at the pool side of their resort when Elena came towards him wearing bikini.

She leaned towards Ryan when he said, "Looking hot baby!"

Before they could kiss each other, Ryan heard a familiar voice.

"Hey, Ryan!"

Ryan immediately looked there and saw Shehnaaz coming towards him with a huge smile on her face. As soon as he saw her, his face turned pale as well as Elena's.

"Sana tu... Yaaha? New York mein?" He asked being puzzled.

Shehnaaz sat near him and said smiling, "Of course yaar. Tu yaaha hai, mujhe toh aana hi tha... Kaisa hai tu? Lagta hai kaafi maze chal rahe hai hmm..."

She looked at Elena and said, "Hi! So you are Elena, right?"

Elena gave a fake smile and said, "Yeah. And you are Shehnaaz. Ryan ne baataya tha tumhare baare mein. It's nice to meet you."

"Same here. Main New York tumse hi toh milne aayi hoon. Sacchi mera na bohut mann tha uss bitch ko...."

Elena's face grew serious when Shehnaaz said, "I mean uss ladki ko dekhne ka jisne mere Ryan ko mujhse chheen liya."

"Maine kisi ko chheena nahi hai. He himself chose me." Said Elena with attitude.

"Yeah I can understand. Ryan ki choice kaafi kharab hogayi hai." Said Shehnaaz insulting her with smiling face.

"Paata hai Ryan, jab tune mujhe call pe baataya tha ki tujhe koi aur mil gayi hai, main maan ne ko hi ready nahi thi. Arrey college days ka pyaar tha humara. Aise kaise kisi bhi kutti kamini ke liye tu mujhe chhor sakta hai? Main Mohali se Mumbai aayi thi tere liye, apni shaadi chhor ke, aur tu New York mein apni girlfriend ke saath aiyashi kar raha tha? Maine toh decide kar liya tha jis din tu mujhe saamne milega, main apne sandals utar ke...."

Shehnaaz removed her sandals and started hitting Ryan with them making him scared and puzzled.

"Teri aisi dhulai karungi, aisi dhulai karungi ki tu zindagi bhar yaad rakhega... Arrey loyalty naam ki bhi ek chiz hoti hai. How can someone be such a bastard! Ek girlfriend rehte hue dusri pata liya... Huh?... Uspe toh keede padhne chahiye, chullu bhar pani mein dub ke marr jaana chahiye usse...."

While saying, Shehnaaz kept hitting him with her sandals while Ryan was trying to save himself.

Shehnaaz then stopped hitting and said sighing, "You know yeh hi sab chal raha tha mere dimaag mein. But I was so wrong. Pyaar toh kabhi bhi ho sakta hai, kahi pe bhi ho sakta hai. Jaise tujhe Elena mili na, mujhe bhi Mumbai aate waqt Sidharth mil gaya."

"Sidharth?" Asked Ryan with disbelief.

"Haan, mera boyfriend. Uss mein kuch baat hai. Jab uske saath hoti hoon na toh ek alag si feeling hoti hai. He makes me feel butterflies. New York aate aate realise hua, I'm in love with him. Isliye socha tujhse acche se face to face break up kar leti hoon, phir maze se apne Sidharth ke saath aage badh jaaungi, without any past baggages."

Shehnaaz giggled while Ryan started burning in jealousy as he never expected her to be happy without him.

"Sidharth!" Said Shehnaaz suddenly while Ryan and Elena looked there and their eyes got widened seeing Sidharth.

He was wearing a white t-shirt with sunglasses, and walked towards them with attitude, setting his hair with one hand. He was looking so much handsome that Ryan started having complex while Elena couldn't take her eyes off him.

Sidharth came to Shehnaaz, wrapped his hand around her waist, pulling her closer and said being romantic, "Sweetheart, what are you doing here? I was waiting for you in our room."

Shehnaaz felt a sudden nervousness but said hiding it immediately, "Aww tum mere bina ek second bhi nahi reh sakte. How sweet!... Actually main inn dono se milne aayi thi. Yeh Ryan hai aur yeh uski girlfriend Elena. And guys this Sidharth, the love of my life."

Shehnaaz said the last line dramatically.

"Accha Ryan, woh tumhara chomu ex?" Said Sidharth insulting Ryan.

"Hi I'm Sidharth." He forwarded his hand.

Ryan hesitantly shook hands with him when Sidharth pressed his hand hard, almost breaking it.

"Aaaa...Aaaa..."

Ryan started screaming when Sidharth took back his hand.

"Tumhara ex toh bohut hi kamzor nikla." He said looking at Shehnaaz.

"I know, kya kar sakte hai." She said showing pity on him.

"By the way Ryan, thank you so much Bro. Matlab Shehnaaz ko chhor ke tumne mujhpe bohut hi bada ehsaan kiya. I got my true love because of you. She is just the girl I wanted as my life partner." Said Sidharth further making Ryan jealous.

"So you guys are really together?" Asked Ryan not wanting to believe.

"Obviously. Hum New York aaye toh the tumse milne par ab apna pre honeymoon maana ke hi jaayenge. Chalo baby, room mein chalte hai. We have a lot of important works to do rather than talking to these jokers."

"Yeah baby. Let's go, I also can't wait anymore."

Shehnaaz winked at him and they both left from there like a lovey-dovey couple.

"How's this possible? I can't believe Sidharth sach mein Sana ka boyfriend hai." Said Ryan which Elena heard and smiled sarcastically.

"Kyu? Tumhe khushi nahi ho rahi apne ex ko uske current boyfriend ke saath khush dekh ke? Yaa phir tumhe iss baat se problem ho rahi hai ki usse itna handsome boyfriend mil gaya?" Asked Elena taunting him.

"Aisa kuch nahi hai. Uski life hai woh kuch bhi kare. I don't care." Said Ryan with a fake smile, trying to hide his jealousy.

As Sidharth and Shehnaaz went away from them, Sidharth removed his hand from Shehnaaz's waist and she gave a sigh of relief.

"Tumhe ho kya gaya tha udhar?" She asked slapping his biceps slightly. "Ekdam se aise kaun pakad leta hai? Paata hai main kitna ghabra gayi thi. Agar waqt pe khud ko sambhalti nahi toh waheen pe humara jhut pakda jaata."

"Pakda toh nahi gaya na? Aur boyfriends aise hi karte hai... Even iss se zyada karte hai." Said Sidharth huskily leaning towards her.

"Z...zyada karne ki zaroorat nahi hai." Said Shehnaaz nervously stepping back to which Sidharth controlled his laugh.

"Waise bhi tum mere fake boyfriend ho. Real nahi." She said further.

"Par unko toh real lagna chahiye na? Isliye maine thodi acting kiyi."

"Acting ke baadshah ho tussi." Said Shehnaaz giggling. "Waise tumhe dekh kar koi kahega nahi tumhe inn sab ka experience nahi hai. Aisi natural acting kiyi hai tumne."

"You know bachpan se hi mera actor ban ne ka sapna tha. Ab tumhari wajah se woh sapna pura ho raha hai... By the way tumne bohut overacting kiyi hai. Aage se thoda kam smile kar ke baat karna, apni battisi dikhane ki zaroorat nahi hai." Said Sidharth to which Shehnaaz rolled her eyes.

"Waise maine jab tumhe touch kiya, tum uncomfortable toh nahi hui na? Agar aisa kuch hua hai then I'm sorry." Said Sidharth further to which Shehnaaz smiled in her mind thinking something.

Then she suddenly wrapped her hand around Sidharth's arm and said dramatically, "Nahi mere jaanu, main tumhare touch se kabhi uncomfortable ho sakti hoon? Tumhe toh pata hai main tumse kitna pyaar karti hoon.."

Sidharth widened his eyes and said, "Abbe kya kar rahi hai? Abhi woh log nahi hai idhar."

"Toh kya hua? Humein acting jaari rakhni chahiye."

"Accha... Waise yeh acting nahi overacting hai... Zyada mat kar..."

"Main toh karungi... Mere jaanu..."

They both went to their room while giggling.

"Accha suno..." Said Sidharth coming to the room. "Maine iss resort mein ek hi room liya hai taa ki uss Ryan ko shaq na ho. Are you okay in sharing room?"

Shehnaaz thought for a while and said playfully, "Yeah I'm okay... Bas mera fayda uthane ki koshish mat karna, warna accha nahi hoga."

"Uski gurantee main nahi le sakta..." Said Sidharth rubbing his nape to which Shehnaaz glared him. Then they both smiled together.

"I know tum mera fayda nahi uthaoge. Agar fayda hi uthana hota toh bohut pehle hi utha sakte the... In dino mein itna toh jaan chuki hoon tumhe." Said Shehnaaz smiling which made Sidharth happy that she trusted him so much.

"Waise aage ka kya plan hai?" She asked further.

"Kuch nahi bas jale hue ko aur jalana hai." Said Sidharth smiling mischievously.

Like this, they started staying in the resort and kept acting like a perfect couple in front of everyone. Everytime they met Ryan and Elena, they started showing that they were so much in love which made Ryan jealous. He couldn't tolerate seeing Shehnaaz happy with someone else. This was exactly what Sidharth and Shehnaaz wanted and they became successful in their revenge plan.

One day Ryan and Elena were out for a long drive in Ryan's car. Suddenly Sidharth and Shehnaaz showed up in their car and waved them hi leaving Ryan frustrated.

Soon Sidharth overtook Ryan's car and they started acting as if they were getting cozy which made Ryan's blood boil. He increased the speed of his car to compete with Sidharth but suddenly his car stopped with a jerk while Sidharth and Shehnaaz went far away.

"What happened?" Asked Elena being annoyed.

"I don't know... Sayad car kharab hogayi..." Said Ryan helplessly while Elena nodded in disbelief.

One day Ryan and Elena went to visit the statue of liberty and there also they met Sidharth and Shehnaaz.

"Hey guys, what a coincidence! Tum log bhi yaaha aaye ho." Said Shehnaaz acting as if she was surprised.

"Hi! So you are also here." Said Ryan with a forceful smile.

"Actually Shehnaaz bore ho rahi thi toh socha thoda ghumane le aau... To make my girl happy." Said Sidharth pulling Shehnaaz closer.

"See, mera boyfriend kitni care karta hai meri. I'm so lucky to have you Baby."

"Baby I'm the luckier one."

Ryan and Elena's face became full of jealousy seeing their romance.

"Accha baby tum meri kuch acchi acchi photos le lo na iske saamne." Said Shehnaaz further.

"Waise toh mera yeh camera tumhari khubsurti ko capture nahi kar sakta. Par tum keh rahi ho toh sure."

Saying that, Sidharth took out his phone and started taking Shehnaaz's photos in different pose.

"Tum unko kya dekh rahe ho? Why don't you focus on your own girlfriend? Take my photos right now." Said Elena angrily.

"Abhi leta hoon."

Ryan tried to take Elena's photos but his whole focus was on Sidharth and Shehnaaz.

"Baby come, let's take few selfies." Said Shehnaaz and Sidharth went close to her.

Shehnaaz wrapped her hand around Sidharth's neck and they took selfies.

Ryan's jealousy increased seeing them close which Elena noticed.

"Baby ek kiss karte hue bhi selfie lete hai..." Said Sidharth suddenly to which Shehnaaz nodded happily.

"Are they really going to kiss?" Asked Ryan to himself making a scared face.

"Ryan you are such a jerk! Fuck off!" Yelled Elena being frustrated and walked away.

"Elena... baby listen..."

Ryan went after her and then Sidharth and Shehnaaz stopped their drama.

"Eww! Itne cringe dialogues maine apni life mein kisi ke liye nahi bole. Aur aaj bol bhi raha hoon toh kiske liye? Apni fake girlfriend ke liye. Alag hi level ka dukh hai yeh." Said Sidharth wiping off his fake tears.

"Yeh drama chhoro... Chalo abhi ek real wali selfie lete hai..." Said Shehnaaz taking the phone.

"Kiss karte hue?" Asked Sidharth with a flirty smile.

"Shut up!" Said Shehnaaz rolling her eyes and they took a selfie as an memory of that place.

Like this, they never left any chance to irritate Ryan and his girlfriend. Elena was realising that Ryan was still not over his ex which made her frustrated to no end.

One day, it was Ryan's concert and Sidharth bought its tickets. He went at the concert with Shehnaaz.

"Waise yeh kuch zyada nahi ho raha? Yeh uski professional jagah hai. I don't think humein yaaha aana chahiye tha." Said Shehnaaz suddenly feeling little guilty.

"Toh tumhe ab fikar ho rahi hai apne uss kamine ex boyfriend ki? Sahi hai." Said Sidharth making faces to which Shehnaaz couldn't help smiling.

"Waise main toh bas dekhne aaya hoon woh chomu as a singer kaisa hai. Tumhe bura lag raha hai toh tum jaa sakti ho." He said further.

"Main kyu jaau? Main toh yaaha apne fake boyfriend ke saath concert enjoy karne aayi hoon."

Shehnaaz held Sidharth's hand and he smiled.

Soon Ryan came to the stage and his expression changed seeing Sidharth and Shehnaaz amidst the crowd, but he controlled himself and started his performance. As the audience started cheering, Sidharth and Shehnaaz too vibed with the song.

"Waise yeh chomu gaata toh accha hai. First time kisi concert pe aaya hoon and I'm loving it." Said Sidharth enjoying.

"Waise gaate toh tum bhi accha ho. Even Ryan se better gaate ho. Uski jagah tum hote na toh aur bhi taaliyan padti." Said Shehnaaz praising.

"Meri singing talent sirf tumhare saamne hi bahar aayi hai. Do you think yeh puri duniya ke saamne bahar aani chahiye?"

Shehnaaz thought for a while and said, "I don't think so. Kuch chizein mere liye hi rehne do."

Sidharth didn't say anything. For a moment they both stared at each other, with some unsaid emotions in their eyes. The crowd seemed to be faded away, there were only two of them, totally lost in each other.

Suddenly Sidharth realised that and focused on the concert but Shehnaaz kept staring at him. The way he was enjoying, vibing with the song, it brought smile to her face. While she was adoring him, a person in the crowd, accidentally pushed her towards Sidharth. Their arms got touched, as they stood too close.

Though Sidharth didn't realise it but Shehnaaz felt something in her heart. It didn't make her uncomfortable, rather being close to him made her feel safe. She felt protected near him, from the starting itself, he gave her this warmth and comfort. Now she knew that he was only one whom she could trust blindly, who could make her feel like home. She didn't know exactly what he meant to her but she knew that he meant a lot to her.

"Aise apne fake boyfriend ko ghoorna nahi chahiye. Galat baat hai." Said Sidharth without looking at her.

"I agree. Par agar fake boyfriend handsome ho toh ghoor sakte hai." Said Shehnaaz making Sidharth blush a little.

While performing Ryan noticed the way they were staring at each other, the chemistry between them was undeniable. He became sad and jealous at the same time.

But Sidharth and Shehnaaz didn't notice it as at that moment, only they mattered to each other.
