Today was an off day... from tomorrow all the wedding functions were starting..
1st haldi then mehendi then sangeet and then the wedding..

All the coming days were gonna be very hectic.
So Shehnaaz thought to spend the entire day with the kids.
But everyone had a different plan.
They wanted to go out and have fun.

The 1st ones to agree to this plan were Zoro and Zara..
Obviously this would be their 1st outing.
So reluctantly Shehnaaz also agreed.

The entire gang was going..

SidNaaz.. Zoro.. Zara.. ShivIka.. ArShi.. KhuShe.. Jay.. Mahi.. Tara.. Ria.. Asim and Jasmine.

Asim wanted to introduce Jasmine to Shehnaaz.. they were very good friends before the issues happened in between them.
He wanted that friend back.. atleast.
He was very serious about Jasmine.. and he wanted Shehnaaz to know about it.
He decided to talk to Shehnaaz today.
He wanted to have a direct relation with the kids.. and that could happen only if Shehnaaz forgives him.
He spoke to Jasmine regarding this and she was more than happy with this decision.
Asim had told her everything what had happened and she had instantly asked him to ask for forgiveness.
Asim was definitely gonna do that today.

Shehnaaz decided to stay casual today..
She got ready in a denim jumpsuit

She tied her hair in a half up bun and put on some basic make up.
She completed her look by wearing white sneakers.
She took her white sling bag and put in her wallet and other necessities.
She took her black shades and kept it in the bag and came out of the room.

Till then Siddharth had showered both the kids and he himself had gone for taking a shower.

Shehnaaz dressed Zara in a similar jumpsuit like her and selected black shorts and blue denim shirt for Zoro.
She made both of them wear white sneakers as well.
Siddharth wanted to twin with them.. so he also secretly took his denim shirt and black shorts and moved towards the bathroom.
Jaise Shehnaaz ko lage "oh what a co incidence!"

He came out of the bathroom being nonchalant and started brushing his wet hair.

Zara noticed him and shouted

Zara: paaapaaaa... hum sab matching matching.

Siddharth smirked at it and turned faking confusion.
He then gave his daughter a full blown smile and pulled her up and hugged her tight.
She also hugged him back.

He put her on her feet and spoke

Siddharth: ab mai ready ho jaau princess?

Zara nodded and left.
Siddharth styled his hair.. sprayed his favorite perfume..
Wore white sneakers and completed his look with his raybans.
He checked his wallet and car keys and left for his family.

Siddharth: kaha milne wale hai sab?

Shehnaaz: breakfast pe.

Siddharth nodded and they left for the restaurant where breakfast was arranged.

All of them reached the breakfast area around the same time.
All of them were so hungry that they attacked the breakfast first.. baki planning baad me.

Shehnaaz started filling her plate with everything what Zoro prefers for breakfast and she saw Siddharth doing the same for Zara.

All of them sat on the same table to plan their day

Khushi: maine suna hai yaha 1 bahut purana Devi Maiyya ka mandir hai.. hum sabko waha jana chahiye..

She said joining her hands.

All of them looked at Arnav.. not looked actually glared at him.
Arnav looked at his wife and then the others.. helplessly

Zara: nai nai.. no mandir.. please mami.. mujhe ghumne jana hai.

Siddharth (in his mind): meri bachi tak meri bhavna pahuch hi jaati hai..

Anika: toh kaha jaaye? Aaj hi ka din hai humare pass.

Shivaay: let me check on google.. actually sare hi search karo.. jo best hoga waha jayenge.

All of them agreed and started searching.

At last they decided 3 places..
1. Waterfall
2. Caves
3. Mapro Gardens

All of them were having their breakfast with cute banters between the couples and Zara's talks.
All of them loved the kids.
Anika and Zoro had become best friends already.
And Zara was anyways best friends with her Khushi Mami..
The entire table was filled with their laughter.
All the elders were looking at them and admiring their friendship.
Whereas there were 2 pairs of eyes who were looking at them with envy.

After the breakfast Shehnaaz and Madhu re checked everything and left to the entrance.

A mini bus was booked.

Shehnaaz looked at the kids and spoke

Shehnaaz: you both know everyone here.. so no talking to strangers.
Hum mai se kisi ke saath rehna.. akele kahi nahi jana okay?

The both nodded

Zara: Arnav Mamu mai aapke sath aau?

Arnav just smiled and nodded.. Zara smiled and ran towards him.
He lifted her up in his arms and got in the bus with his wife.

That's when Anika spoke

Anika: Zoro tu aja humare sath.. bahut masti karenge..

Zoro looked at his mother

Zoro: mai jaau?

Shehnaaz smiled and nodded

Zoro happily went near Anika and held her hand.
They also boarded the bus.

Next were Jay and Mahi with Tara and Ria

Even Madhu and Vishal got in

Only Shehnaaz.. Siddharth.. Asim.. Jasmine.. Kushal and Shefali were left to board.

They were about to board when Shehnaaz spotted someone.

Shehnaaz: Kaartikkk...

She and Shefali squealed and rushed towards him and hugged him.

Siddharth and Kushal looked at eachother
They both had the same expressions.. Jalan!!!!

Asim and Jasmine were holding their chuckles.

Siddharth: yeh 1 aur din baad nai aa sakta tha.
Pura mood bigad dia.

Kushal just nodded agreeing to him.

On other side:

Shehnaaz: haaye tu pura 1 din late hai Kartik..

Shefali: aur nai toh kya.. engagement miss kardi meri.. kaisa dost hai.

Kartik: matao shant.. bahut zyada uljha hua tha.. isiliye nahi aa paya.. par dont worry.. ab aa gaya hu na.. kuch bhi miss nahi karunga.

Shehnaaz: chal hum ghumne jaa rahe hai.. tera saman pahuch jayega room mai.. tu chal cheeti chetti.

Kartik: arey kon ja raha hai kaha ja rahe hai kuch bata to.

Shefali and Shehnaaz paid no heed to him.. both held his 1 hand and dragged him to the boys.

Looking at this scene the possessiveness of both the guys was increasing rapidly

Shehnaaz and Shefali spoke together when they reached

Shehnaaz and Shefali: yeh bhi humare sath ayega.

Kartik: arey par hum jaa kaha rahe hai?

Shefali: arey jaha bhi jaa rahe hai.. tu chal raha hai..  that's final.

Kushal pulled Shefali by her elbow towards him and spoke in his ears

Kushal: baby yeh hai kaun?

Shefali glared at him.

Shefali: Kushal.. yeh mera best friend hai Kartik.
Designer hai..
Aise key sakte hai Shehnaaz ka personal designer hai.

Kartik nudged Shehnaaz and she just playfully glared at Shefali.
But someones volcano was getting heated up.

Shefali: and Kartik yeh hai Kushal.. my fiancé.

Kartik and Kushal shook hands

Before he could acknowledge Siddharth they heard a very annoying voice from behind.

Sonia: Sidddyyy baby !!!!! Finally I found you.

She rushed towards him and hugged him

Siddharth did not reciprocate the hug and directly looked at his baby.
But she was looking at him with blank expressions.
But her insides were shaking with anger..

She wore her shades before her eyes show her emotions.

Siddharth wanted to get a reaction out of her by Sonia..
But he stopped himself from doing this stupidity..
He made this mistake once by taking Maya along with him..
He was not gonna repeat it.

He awkwardly broke the hug and said

Siddharth: hi Sonia.. how are you?

Sonia: tum mil gaye na toh ab mai bahut khush hu.

Siddharth smiled at her.. awkwardly

Here Kushal and Asim were laughing inwardly
Seeing the once casanova Siddharth Shukla going all awkward in front of girl is not an everyday sight.

Siddharth was cursing his stars..
Where did she come from?

Siddharth: okay.. baadme milte hai Sonia.. hume late ho raha hai..
Let's go guys.

Sonia: kaha jaa rahe ho tumlog? Mai bhi aaungi..

Siddharth froze.. no no no..
She cannot come with them.
He wanted to spend this day with Shehnaaz.

Siddharth: arey it is okay.. zyada kahi nahi jaa rahe.. thode time mai wapas aa jayenge..
Tum abhi aai ho thak gai hongi..

But he was cut in between

Sonia: arey nai nai I came yesterday night.. I am fresh as a flower..
Waise bhi bore ho rahi thi.. and aise tumhare sath time spend karneka mauka kaise chod du mai?

Siddharth looked at Asim and Kushal for help but they raised their hands in surrender

Sonia: ab chalo bhi..

She said and held Siddharth by his forearm and dragged him to the bus.

Shehnaaz fisted her hands seeing that.. it took a lot of her self control to not go there and separate them.

All of them standing there looked at her fisted hands and smirked.

Shefali spoke in Kushal's ears

Shefali: Shehnaaz bahut jaldi fategi..

Kushal: I hope woh Siddharth pe nahi Sonia pe fate.
Maza ayega..

All of them shared a knowing look and went inside the bus.

As soon as Sonia entered the bus Shivaay and Arnav froze.
They looked at eachother and then towards  Siddharth who was standing behind her.
Shock was evident on their faces.

Sonia saw them and squealed

Sonia: omg.. Arnav and Shivaay.. tum dono bhi ho..
So the full gang is here..
Aaj toh maza hi ayega.

Then she turned around

Sonia: hai na? Siddy Baby chalo let's sit.

She sat on a seat and pulled Siddharth to sit beside her
He was about to get up when Shehnaaz walked in
She went to an empty seat on the back and went and sat there.
Knowing her mood Kartik went and sat next to her.

Siddharth (in his mind): yeh kya musibat hai yaar..
Kitne mushkil se time mila tha Shehnaaz ke sath.
Yeh Sonia kaha se tapak hai.. sara plan kharab kar dia.. upar se yeh Kartik ko bhi aaj hi ana tha..
Woh bhi kamina 1 mauka nahi chodta Shehnaaz ke sath rehne ka.
Yaaar mere sath hi hamesha aisa kyu hota hai..

Arnav.. Shivaay.. Asim and Kushal looked at his sulking face and the looked at Shehnaaz sitting there royally ignoring Siddharth and chucked.
Their boy was in deep deep trouble!!!!
