SHEHNAAZ'S POV

Yesterday when Sir, hugged me. I hugged him back with a feeling of contentment, maybe I am the one who has feelings for him and it's just a friendship from his side cause obviously, who would love a girl with so many flaws when the other person is absolutely flawless except the anger of his. I still remember how hyper he got when I asked him that I will climb down the pillar that day.

FLASHBACK

We were supposed to shoot a night scene where the Heroine elopes for her dreams and ambitions. I was getting ready in ny vanity, when Sidharth entered after knocking. As soon as I saw him in that blue shirt, I realised how handsome he is. How well each and every colour compliments him and that slightly grown stubble of his.

"Saana!?"

He called me when I hummed looking at him through the mirror.

"Wo.. Woh! I don't think you should do this! I...I mean we can use body double!"

He said, I smiled at the care and concern he holds for me.

"No! No! I can manage! Main Kar lungi!"

He nodded his head and came infront of me, He cupped my cheeks and looked into my eyes.

"Saana! Isme Khatra hain! Already Itni thaand hain Aur tum...Tum woh steel ke pole se utrogi! You will get hurt bubba!"

He said, I nodded and hold his hand which was cupping my cheeks.

"Sir! Trust me! Kuch nahi hoga!"

I said trying to make him understand whereby he frowned and nodded reluctantly.

FLASHBACK END

I still remember how anxious he grew when I climbed down of the pole, how fast he went and wrapped a shawl around me so that I don't catch cold. Lord! He is too cute sometimes. Tomorrow is Sargun's Party, I think I should say him. I was too immersed in my thoughts when suddenly I heard some beeping sound, opening my phone, I saw one message from a Unknown Person! Opening The message I saw that it was a link of an article that too an article about Sidharth Sir? What it must be? I quickly opened the link, only to see an article of him.

"SIDHARTH SHUKLA, THE FAMOUS DIRECTOR IS ACCUSED OF HARASSMENT?"

Reading the headline my breathe hitched, I quickly scrolled down to read but what caught my attention was, He slapped a woman? Oh my god! The Article was full of negative statements for him but another statement which grabbed my attention was, he had an ample of Relations and Affairs. The article also said that he is still involved with someone? Oh My God! That...That means what... Whatever I was thinking was wrong! He... wasn't into me! Oh shit! Okay! No...Now I..I have to distance myself from him. Yeah! Yeah! I know what I have to do.

It was the next day, when I woke up to the continuous ringing of my phone. Groaning, I grabbed my phone only to see Sidharth calling me! Why? Why was he calling me! No! No! I won't pick it up! Turning off the volume, I woke up and moved towards the Washroom. After getting freshen up, My phone rang up, grabbing my phone I saw it was Sargun calling me.

"Haan Sargun Bol!"

I said entering the kitchen, when Sargun Informed about the worsening health of her mother-in-law.

"Saana! Yaar I am so sorry Maine Already Sidharth aur Kaushal ko inform kar diya hain! It's just I forgot to inform you!",

Sargun said while I nodded and told her that a person's life always comes first than these parties and get togethers. After hanging up the call, I found twenty messages and ten missed calls from Sidharth. I gulped the lump and chose to ignore his texts and calls.

POV END

While on the other hand, Sidharth was getting frustrated with each passing minute, seeing her not replying to his any of the texts or calls. Sighing he quickly called up Kaushal,

"Kaushal! Aaj Saana ka shoot Kab hain?",

He asked to which Kaushal said that due to some emergency, Saana cancelled her schedule today. He frowned gaining the information,

"Is...Is she fine?",

He asked to which Kaushal informed him that she is absolutely fine. He sighed and nodded and lightened up the cigarette and decided to continue with the scenes of Hero and the other characters. The whole day, he kept on rebuking everyone, getting frustrated on petty issues. While on the hand, She went to a Orphanage and spent some time with the kids, She has already noticed that the whole day Sidharth called and texted her. There was almost three hundred messages and missed calls from him.

SIDHARTH'S POV

It was the has been a week that she has been ignoring me. She didn't come for the shoot as well, but why? Why wasn't she picking up my calls and answering to any of my texts? I got ready and reached the floor only to see her make-up artist entering the Vanity van. I quickly called up Kaushal,

"Hello Kaush! Has she come?"

I asked him being absolutely pissed on her continuos ignorance.

"Yeah! Yeah Sir! She has came! Long time back!"

Wait! What? She came and she didn't even bother to meet me? I was about to went towards her Vanity when the lights men informed me that everything's ready and we should be get going. I nodded and decided to have a really long talk with her, A really 'LONG TALK!'. That article is still roaming around my subconscious mind, I mean how can she do this to me. She has to explain now, Why she did this. That day when I saw the article it just blown up my mind.

FLASHBACK

I was standing on the balcony, texting Shehnaaz to reply my messages but she kept on ignoring. I sighed and opened the Google to find ways for coaxing your girl. I mean! Yeah! The Sidharth Shukla is finding ways to coax his girl as these all coaxing, bring this much in love is new to me. I was about to type on the search bar, when one article popped up on my feed making me curious. It was a article of Shehnaaz, Seeing the name, I quickly opened the link to see her hugging a guy in a pub. I mean Seriously! Here, I am chasing her like a mad man and there she is enjoying her life? Partying in a pub that too with a guy. I clenched my jaws and tried to called her up but again! She ignored my calls even I left a message for her but guess what! She didn't even bothered to see it. Wow! Later, searching that guy a bit. I got to know that he is none other than her rumoured Boyfriend. Wow! Sidharth! How wonderfully god wrote your destiny where there's only heartbreaks and chicanery but still I wanted to know this thing from her mouth.

FLASHBACK END

I was instructing the lead actor when I saw that guy from article coming towards the set and asking about Saana. Oh! Then I was correct! He is actually her Partner. I was boiling with rage, I so wanted to break this guy's jaws.

POV END

While on the other hand, Kaushal sensed some problem between both of them, He quickly went into Saana's Vanity and saw her sitting with a gloomy face.

"Shehnaaz!"

He called her when she came out of her trance and looked at Kaushal, faking a smile.

" Haan Kaush!"

"Yeh Drame Mere saamne mat karo thik hain! I know there must have something happened between you and Sidharth!"

He said making her look here and there. Just then, He threw the newspaper on her table making her frown.

"Yeh kya hain?"

She asked making him chuckled sarcastically. He settled himself down on the couch.

"Yeh woh Article hain! Jo tere Baare mein Chappi hain Parso!"

He said making her frown and grabbed the paper. She widened her eyes when suddenly that article of Sidharth's came into her mind. She gulped and nodded,

" Tu Jaanti thi na ki Woh Tujhse Pyaar karta tha? Haan?"

He said which came as a shocker to her, she looked at Kaushal and nodded her head defying him with a pair of moist eyes.

"Nahi ! Woh Mujhse Pyaar nahi karte! Main Unse Karti thi! Lekin...Lekin Woh kahi pe Engaged hain!"

She said making him frowned on her Sudden statement. Just then, She showed him the article which she read on the internet. Reading the article, He huffed and slapped his forehead.

" Accha! Toh tune wohi Article padha jiske Wajah se his life was all messed up!"

"Matlab!?"

She asked when he disclosed everything making her feel guilty for ignoring him. A victorious grin appeared on her face all the truth that, First of all, This thing is not at all One sided but two sided and Secondly, He is absolutely single and there's none except her in his life.

"Ab Maana baith ke! Kyu Karti hain yeh saab?"

He asked when Shehnaaz quickly changed her costume and came out of her Vanity. Looking here and there, She looked at him who was instructing the Hero on a scene. She quickly went towards him and stood with a smile.

"Harsh! Do one thing! Let's shoot this scene from that angle!"

He said and saw the roughness on his face, she called him making once but not getting any response. Rather, he asked the Assistant Director to attend her. Hearing him, her face fell and she nodded her head and agreed to shoot the song. After shooting three scenes, He announced a break when She faked a cry to grab his attention.

"Aaouch! Shit! Rabbaa!"

But to her dismay, he never turned to see her but he left lightening up his cigarette.

It has been a couple of weeks, she kept on finding excuses and ways to coax him but Sidharth being Sidharth. He never paid any heed to neither her nor her acts which hurted her like anything. It was yet another day, when the lunch time was going on, she took her tiffin box and moved towards his vanity where he generally eats his lunch. They have always done their lunch together, she reached there and saw him packing his lunch, stuffing his mouth with the curry. Her eyes went moist, seeing him ignoring her, Before he could move. She went towards her and locked the vanity. She wasn't able to take his ignorance. Hearing the 'thud', he looked back to see her standing there.

"Shehnaaz? Tum yaha? Kuch kaam tha?"

He asked being all professional. She kept the lunch box there and sat on the bed while he came out wiping his hands after washing them.

"Sidharth! We need to talk please!"

She said when He looked at her settling himself on the chair, maintaining a good amount of distance.

"Regarding?"

He asked surfing his mobile phone, when she snatched the mobile making him furious.

" Shehnaaz Gill! What kind of behaviour was that? Did you forgot that I am your senior and director!"

He asked hurting her when she puller him by his collar and made him settle on the bed and she herself sat down on his lap.

"Why! Why are you ignoring me Sidharth?"

She asked making him frown and gave out a sinister chuckle,

"I ignored you? Woah! Girl! You started it! Tune Mujhe Ignore kiya! Maine nahi! Samjhi! Now leave me!"

He said making her pull him more.

She said when he grabbed her jaws pulling her infront of him.

"Yeh Sawal agar main puchu toh?"

He asked when she nodded and disclosed you everything from what she read to what she interpreted. While He sighed but soon his sadness changed into a smile when he heard her last line,

"... Because Sidharth I love you! Mujhe Fark padhta hain tumse!"

" Padhta hain fark tujhe? Haan? Sacch bol rahi hain? You love me? You love me like I do? Huh?"

Their lips were touching Eachother, they could inhale eachother's breathe. Couldn't able to take their proximity more, she nodded her head when he kept his head on her cleavage making her caress the mane of his hair.

"Saana! Will you marry me?"

He asked once detaching their lips, She looked at him with moist eyes and licked her lips. Climbing down his lap, She looked at him.

"Sidh.. Sidharth! Aa...Are you sure?"

She asked him unable to understand what she should be saying. He nodded and understood her dilemma.

"You want assurance? Alright then!"

Saying so, he immediately called up his mother making her knocked off her breathe.

"Yes! Mom! Haan! Actually! Umm! Where are you?"
