The very next day Siddharth and Kushal were on their way to Z Events office.

Why Kushal? Because Siddharth wanted moral support.

He did not know what was he gonna tell her.. what will he talk to her?
Will she talk to him? Who is he kidding?
She did not even accept any relation with him.

While trying to find topics to talk to her about..he saw Kushal was thinking something with great concentration.

Siddharth: kya hua bhai.. itna kya soch raha hai?

Kushal: pata nai yaar.. par mujhe aisa lagta hai that Maine Z Evets and Sana Kaur yeh naam pehle  bhi kahi sune hai.

Siddharth: news mai sune honge. Chod itna mat soch

Kushal shrugged his thoughts.

In few minutes they reached their destination

The office building was new.
As per Neel they had just shifted the office 1 week before.
The address of the Z Events before here is unknown

Siddharth was in 2 minds whether to walk in or to go back.
True to his need.. Kushal supported him and they both went inside

The scene inside the office surprised them.

The entire team of Gill Events was present there.

True to their words..they did join her back when she started her company

With shakey legs and lowered gaze he went towards the reception area where Marie Aunty was busy

He reached her desk but she did not acknowledge him
So he cleared his throat.
She looked at him and said:

Marie Aunty: how can I help you sir?

The distance in her tone was breaking all the patience in him.
But he deserved it.
So calming himself down he spoke

Siddharth: I need to meet Shehnaaz

Marie Aunty: go straight then take the elevator to 2nd floor.. her cabin is at the right.

Siddharth was shocked on how Marie Aunty did not show any tantrums and sent him to his baby?

With long strides he went towards the elevator.
He asked Kushal to stay down only..
He wanted to talk to her alone.

In next few minutes he was standing in front of her cabin.
The door had a proud sign
Shehnaaz Kaur Gill - Owner

His heart was beating very fast
He could hear his own heartbeat.

After gaining a little courage he knocked the door.

A faint "come in" was heard, so he opened the door and went inside.

He froze.. she was sitting there in a sky blue saree.
Her full attention was on her laptop.
She did not realize that he is present.

He took this time to see her properly.
She had changed so much
Firstly she was wearing a saree.. a freaking saree.
He still remembers the day when Pammi Ji has asked her to wear a patiala suit for the pooja happening in her house.
She has shown all the tantrums in the world.
Lastly she had rested her case saying that "haaye mai dupatta sambhalu ya khudko"
And now she was wearing the saree so gracefully.

The thing what caught his attention was the ring which she was wearing.
It looked like it has 2 'Z' on it.
He decided to ask her about it later.

He cleared his throat to make her feel his presence

Shehnaaz: I know aap aaye hai Mr Shukla.. par aap mujhe taadne mai itne busy they so I thought aapko disturb na karu.

Siddharth: aisi baat nahi hai.. I need to talk to you

Shehnaaz: boliye

Siddharth: dekho Shehnaaz 5 years pehle jo hua woh...

He was cut by Shehnaaz

Shehnaaz: kuch nahi hua tha 5 years pehle

Siddharth: baby I know..

He was again interrupted

Shehnaaz: Miss Gill for you Mr Shukla.
And aap mujhe yeh batayenge that aap yaha kyu aaye hai?

Finally saying this she turned her eyes from the laptop towards him looking straight in his eyes.
Her eyes were cold.. dead
He was shocked to see the eyes so emotionless.

Her behavior was hurting him.. but he kept all his hurt at side.

Siddharth: myjhe tumse baat karni hai

Shehnaaz: haan karni hi hogi.. new company hai meri.. isse bhi kaise takeover karna hai usi plan ke chalte aap aaye hai na?

Siddharth: no jaan..

Shehnaaz: please stay in limits Mr Shukla.
And secondly I am glad aap aaye.
Anyways mai aane wali thi aapki office.
I have some papers to give you

With that she forwarded a file towards him.

Siddharth immediately took it and started reading it.
He was shocked

Siddharth: what is this?

Shehnaaz: I am claiming back what is mine.
Gill Events is no more under Shukla Enterprises
It is with Z Events from nowonwards.

Siddharth was taken back
She wants to claim back everything which was hers.. but what about his heart which belongs to her since the day he saw her.
Why isn't she claiming it back

Shehnaaz: please sign.

Siddharth: yeh company hamesha se teri thi meri jaan.

Shehnaaz: and I plan to keep it the same way.

Siddharth just nodded and signed the papers.

Shehnaaz: now you may leave. And I hope I never have a meeting with you in future.

With a wounded heart he left the cabin.

Here Shehnaaz had a victory smirk.. finally she had taken step 1.
She knew after the press conference and her revelation he would come to her.
That is why she had already arranged the papers.

------------------------------------
Meanwhile near the entrance:

Kushal was pacing to and fro thinking about what was happening upstairs where he saw the person he expected the least here.

Kushal: tum?

Person: what are you doing here?

------------------------------------
Siddharth with a gloomy mood came out of her cabin.
He was in deep thoughts on how was he supposed to talk to her when she is so adamant to push him away.

In all these thoughts he accidentally bumped into something.

Siddharth: oh I am so sorry

Then he looked up and saw his college friend Mr Shivaay Singh Oberoi standing in front of him.

Shivaay: Siddharth.. tu yaha what a pleasant surprise.

Siddharth: Shivaay Singh Oberoi... kaisa hai tu bhai?

They both shared a manly hug.

Siddharth: aur tu yaha?

Shivaay: kal meri and meri wife Anika ki wedding anniversary hai and the event is managed by Z Events.
Usi related mai aya tha.

Siddharth: arey superb yaar.. congratulations

Shivaay: congratulations se kaam nahi chalega
You have to come to the party tomorrow.

Listening to this an idea strikes in Siddharth's mind.

Siddharth: pakka aunga yaar.. par tu usse pehle mera 1 kaam karega..

Shivaay: bol na.

Siddharth: can you ask Shehnaaz to personally come to the event tomorrow?

Shivaay: Shehnaaz? You mean Sana.. okay
But I have already invited her

Siddharth: just make her come to the event at any cost.

Shivaay: chal kya raha hai bhai?

Siddharth: bahut lambi kahani hai.. fir kabhi  bataunga..
Par abhi please make sure she comes tomorrow.

Shivaay: okay done

They both share a manly hug and left.

------------------------------------
In Shehnaaz's cabin:

Madhu called her on her intercom

On call

Madhu: Shehnaaz both your pink and blue parcel have reached your home.

Shehnaaz: okay
------------------------------------
Done for the day!!!
