Shehnaaz wakes up early as she was hungry. She quickly freshens up and goes to wake up Sidharth.

Shehnaaz: SK.. SK.. Wake up honey!

Sidharth: Let me sleep baby! Come, you also sleep! (Lifts his hand while his eyes are still closed)

Shehnaaz: No, I am hungry!!

Sidharth: Okay, pickup the phone and order something baby.

Shehnaaz: No. Get up now, since we have to go for shoot in another 2 hours.

Sidharth: I hardly take 15 mins to get ready so let me sleep for 30 mins atleast, please. (Pleads)

Shehnaaz: Okay fine, I am going out and will have breakfast also somewhere ALONE.

Sidharth: Do you even know the place properly. How would you go? (He smiles while his eyes were still closed)

Shehnaaz: Yeah, if you aren't concerned about your wife then it's good to get lost in this lonely world!

Sidharth: Drama Queen! Stop emotionally blackmailing me now. Order something and let me sleep until the breakfst arrive. Pleaassee!! (He pleads like a baby with his eyes closed)

She smacks his bum as he lied on his stomach, making him groan. She walks to the table, looks up the menu placed on it. She was so confused to understand the menu so she goes back to him.

Shehnaaz: SK.. I can't understand this menu! Please help na.

Sidharth: Baby just read the description on ingredients and order please. (Irritated while covering his head with a pillow)

Shehnaaz frowns and looks up again at the menu. She just randomly picks some sandwiches and coffee. She calls up the room service and gives them the number as she found it difficult to pronounce the name. She missed her Indian food - parantha and Bature already.

She sits in the balcony covered in a duvet looking at the scenery outside. The waiter arrives and leaves the food on the table for her. She looks at Sidharth who was snoring again. She rolls her eyes annoyingly.

She goes near him and takes of the pillow from his head and kisses his ears softly sending shiver down his body. Her face was cold as she was sitting outside and the nose was the coldest of all. He smiles and shakes his head slightly enjoying her kiss. She nibbles his ears softly and he goans as he liked her teasing mode.

She slowly slides her cold hand inside his shirt touching his back and he moves to adjust to the cold, yet the sensuous touch. He turns slowly while his eyes were still closed to allow her touch his chest. She sits on his upper thighs by placing her legs on either side and leans on him to kiss his lips. He holds the back of her head and kisses her hungrily. He opens his eyes well she pulls back. He pins her to the bed. She pushes him away and goes to the breakfast table. He frowns and looks at her with puppy face.

Shehnaaz: What?

Sidharth: What did you do?

Shehnaaz: You should understand my pain when I said I am hungry. That's your punishment for disobeying your wife! Stay hungry! (Smirks)

Sidharth: (Growls) Can't you control this hunger? How will you do Karwa Chauth fasting for me then?

Shehnaaz: For that one, we are already prepared for it in advance since weeks! Now go and freshen up quickly else you will have to do Karwa Chauth today for me as I will finish your portion of breakfast as well.

Sidharth stomps into the bathroom and comes back in 15 minutes. Shehnaaz serves the breakfast and they take a bite. Shehnaaz makes a weird face.

Shehnaaz: Damn!! Let me taste yours!!

She takes a bite from his food and makes a face again.

Shehnaaz: Don't they have pepper, chilli, garam masala, chat masala here? It tastes so blend.

She takes the pepper shaker and puts generously on her sandwich and takes a bite. He looks at her rolling his eyes.

Shehnaaz: Still not the best. I wouldn't have eaten this if I wasn't hungry. Do you need pepper?

Sidharth: It's okay! Thank you! (Annoyed)

Shehnaaz looks at him and he didn't seem to be anywhere smiling. She knew he was still mad on her for keeping him hungry for her. She smiles and gobbles the food quickly as she had to pacify him. She cleans her hand and face goes and sits on his lap, hugs and kisses him but he didn't reciprocate. He just holds her waist to ensure she doesn't fall and continues eating his breakfast.

After few mins of her cuddling when finally he melts and thinks of giving up his anger, the phone rings. She frowns as he wasted time in getting angry. She stomps to the phone and answers it and places the receiver back.

Shehnaaz: (annoyingly) It was from the team, we need to go down in 10 mins.

He goes to washroom to wash his hand and when he comes back he finds his wife sliding her tshirt down. He pushes aside the thought of romancing his wife since it was already getting late. He gets dressed and they both go down where the team was waiting for them to go to the shoot location.

It was an outdoor shoot for a song. They finish the shoot as they had to romance each other and dance a little. They teased each other romantically without getting noticed by others on set in between shots like subtly pinching and playing with fingers.

They had a shoot in another location in the evening as it was a last shot. The team would travel back tomorrow afternoon while Sidharth and Shehnaaz were to travel to Toronto to Sidharth's home in the evening.

As the shoot was over, the entire crew had dinner at a Indian restaurant and the entire team decides to party.

Sidharth: Suresh Sir, I am not feeling well, I would pass going to the pub.

Suresh: Oh!! Do you need some help SK?

Sidharth: No I'll be fine, I will go back to the hotel. Can someone drop Shehnaaz afterwards?

Shehnaaz: What? No, I can't party when you are sick. I am coming with you!

Suresh: Ok fine! Take care, you two. I'll see you around tomorrow morning before we leave.

Sidharth and Shehnaaz go back to the hotel as Sidharth held his stomach in pain. Shehnaaz supports him until the room.

Shehnaaz: SK, freshen up and I will ask reception to send some medicine for you, it looks like gastritis.

Sidharth: Could you please help me until the washroom, Shehnaaz?

Shehnaaz nods and supports him inside the washroom as soon as they step inside he stands straight and closes the door. He pulls her in his embrace and turns on the warm shower. Shehnaaz was surprised.

Sidharth: Do you think only you can act of stomach pain to get out of the restaurant? Even I can, to romance my wife. Oh baby!! I just craved whole day for this..

Shehnaaz smiled as her husband loved her so much and craved for her.  They both enjoy the love making session in the shower and on the bathroom couch.

The next day morning, they bid farewell to the team and decide to go places and do some shopping until 4pm as they had to reach airport only at 11pm.

In the afternoon, they have lunch at the restaurant at the Mall.

Shehnaaz: Wait here itself, I need to use restroom.

Sidharth: Should I accompany? (Winks)

Shehnaaz: I won't mind but may be the other ladies in the restroom might have some problems.

Sidharth: How about using the Unisex restrooms? (Smiles lifting his one eyebrows)

Shehnaaz: Ewww.. Aren't you done with bathroom romancing last night? Let's leave this public restroom.

Sidharth: I can never get enough of you baby. Anyways, if you insist, I will wait for you here. Come quickly.

Shehnaaz goes to washroom. While few Sidharth fans come and speak to him taking his autograph, clicking selfies and photos. His behaviour towards ladies had changed after he fell for Shehnaaz. He didn't shy away from entertaining them.

It had been a while and he constantly looked at his watch as Shehnaaz didn't return. He called on her phone only to realize that her phone was in his pocket. Even her handbag was with him. He was in dilemma, whether to sit there as he promised her that he will wait for her or to go and check near restroom.

He sat there on his toes waiting for her for 5 more minutes post which he finally called a housekeeping person and showed him her picture on his phone and paid him some money asking him to wait there and if she comes there to call him on his cell by asking her to wait.

He got up and rushed near restroom and asked a lady who was walking inside to check if the lady in the picture was inside. The lady checked and told him she wasn't there. Additionally, she told them that there are 3 more restroom in the mall along with the direction.

He ran to the directions while scanning throughout the way. He did the same thing as he did at the other washroom but she wasn't there.

He rushed to the next floor continuously looking for her on his way, he didn't find her in the 3rd one as well. As he reached the 4th one he was so restless and he didn't find any lady moving in, he barged himself calling out her name. There was only one lady, who got scared and questioned him.

He was almost in tears and panic that the lady could feel his helplessness. She took him to the mall concierge desk where he described the incident and they announced her name in the mic asking her to report to the concierge immediately.

He waited there looking around in agony, trying to find her in all direction expecting to spot her any moment but he was horrified as even after 15 minutes, there was no sign of her.

He asked the concierge if he could speak into the mic this time as she couldn't understand their accent and English so well.

[Note: The story though is in English, Shehnaaz's English isn't good as they communicate in Hindi]

He spoke into the mic

"Sheh.. (clears his choking voice) Shehnaaz, my love, my life, where are you sweetheart? Your husband, your SK is waiting for you. Please dear come soon.. (tears flowed without his permission from his eyes and lips dried, he wets it with his lips and again clears his choking voice) I am lifeless without you and you know how much I Love you.. please, it's been an hour I haven't seen you.. please baby please.. ask anyone where is the concierge desk and come quickly"

The well built mascular man cried like a scared baby who has lost his mother in crowd, making every single soul in the mall cry listening to his message and chocking voice begging for her to return.

He waited for her again but she didn't return. He called up the hotel where they stayed to check if she was there by any chance but their response was negative.

There was no reason to call the film crew as they had already boarded the flight 2 hours back. He asks the mall to check for CCTV footage but they ask him to approach through police as they had their own set of rules and regulations.

He ran to the police station and all thanks to the law that there are no waiting period to file a complain about missing person in Canada. He filed a complain and the police immediately rushed to check the CCTV footage of the mall. There was a footage of she going inside the washroom but there were no footage of her coming out. They were suspicious about an old lady in wheelchair using a common restroom as they have special restroom for the amputated. They found out the old lady who sat in the wheelchair wasn't the same who sat in it while entering. There was another lady who didn't have any record of entering the washroom but only the exit.

Officer Paul: Mr. Khanna, we regret to inform you that, we suspect your wife Mrs. Shehnaaz Deol Khanna has been abducted.

Sidharth: Oh God!! She is new in this country, I don't understand how and why would someone kidnap her. Officer please help me find her ASAP. (He pleaded like baby)

Paul: We are tracking for the footage after they left the mall. Please don't leave the city until then.

Sidharth: I won't and I can't!! It's my life at stake! Please officer, even a slightest of clue, kindly inform me on my cellphone please. Officer, I wouldn't mind paying reward to the person who helps me find my wife.

Paul: Sure, Mr. Khanna. We will consider thinking about it at later stage, we shall try out best first.

Sidharth life was shattered, as he never expected it to happen. He just couldn't go back to his hotel. He wandered on streets looking for her, asking every walking soul on road about his precious wife.

He gets a call from his dad enquiring if they were at airport to leave for Toronto.

AK: Hey sonny, have you'll left the hotel yet?

Sidharth didn't wanted his mother to panic and since she could catch his and his fathers lie, he lies to his father, so that his mother could find out.

Sidharth: Hey dad, Shehnaaz wanted to explore Vancouver for some days, I'll inform you when we decide to come.

AK: Oh!! Honeymooning with your better half? Enjoy sonny, give her lots of love and no reasons to complain! It should be the most memorable trip of your life.

Sidharth's heart ached to hear those words. He wished to see her soon but it would indeed be the most memorable trip and the worst one for sure.

Sidharth: Hmm.. Dad pray and bless for the safety and happiness of our family.

AK: Yes Sonny, I always do that. Are you alright? Why is your voice breaking?

Sidharth: Huhh? Looks like the connection is weak. I'll call you later dad.

Sidharth's body was tired and weak but his soul, heart and brain wouldn't allow him to give up on searching her.

Each and every moment he spent with her ran like reels in front of his eyes. He remembers his conversation with her yesterday morning

Shehnaaz: I am going out and will have breakfast also somewhere ALONE.

Sidharth: Do you even know the place properly. How would you go?

Shehnaaz: Yeah, if you aren't concerned about your wife then it's good to get lost in this lonely world!

He cursed himself for unintentionally making her say those words, which just got granted by God.

Baby, I can't tell you how much it pains to stay without you even for a fraction of second. Please come back to me. It's all my fault, I should have accompanied you till the restroom. I could have waited for you outside.

He looks at her picture on phone and he realizes that his phone battery was running low. He takes the cab to hotel as he didn't wanted it to die as his life depended on the calls now.
