Sana didn't know the answer of his question. She didn't know why he did that but her heart said that he did that for her. he loose the game just for her. It was the feeling came inside her but she didn't know why. Sidharth was staring at her intensely trying to find an answer from her facial expressions. In this he unintentionally loosened his grip on her hand. Sana noticed that and by taking it as a chance, she said.....

sana- mujhe nhi pata........and ran from there after getting herself out from his grip. He stood there looking at her direction and then smiled and went to his room.

The next day, all enjoyed with each other before the flight of akem and joban. They all did breakfast together and after having some masti, both the brothers left for Chandigarh. Sidharth and gang too went to there home till 12. Sidharth's parents were out of the city for next two weeks so they were staying at girl's house but now they had to go home as it was almost two days, they didn't go to home. So that's why they also went to there house till afternoon. Rest of the day they all spent while sleeping and doing some college work. The weekend went very well for all of them. They all enjoyed a lot.

Monday at college........

They all reached college but didn't met each other in the morning. Girls went to their class. In the first lecture, they got a news that a girl from their class named Ria was missing from yesterday. Ria was an orphan who used to live in a p.g. She had two friends in the class which were close to her. The class got this news from her friends. Her friends even complained in police today morning to know about her whereabouts. Both the girls were tensed for their friend. Infact the entire class got worried for her. She was an introvert so she didn't speak much with anyone except her friends. Soon the 3rd lecture came which was of professor abhinav. He entered the class with a stern face. His face looked dangerous. He had completely negative vibes that nobody liked him in the class. Everyone's face fell seeing him. Shehnaaz could feel extreme negativity from him. She didn't want him to be around her or in her class. But nobody could do anything. He stood against his table and give a look to whole class and then his eyes fell on shehnaaz. He again had that evil smirk on his face who he didn't let anyone notice. It looked like something bad, something evil was going on in his mind. Then he turned towards the blackboard and write the name of topic and started explaining. There was no doubt in it that he was good at teaching. Soon the class ended and everyone moved out. Girls went to canteen where boys were already present waiting for them.

Sidharth like before gestured shehnaaz to set beside him and she obeyed him and set with him. They ordered lunch and sana took out her homemade food. As always she first asked to everyone and then ate herself. After the lunch, keerat break the news to boys.....

krt- guys....do u know.......a girl from our class is missing since yesterday.......

shef- yaa.....we don't know her personally but it's strange of her got missing suddenly but her friends are very worried yaar.......

sana- ofcourse shefu.....anyone would get worried in such a situation.

asim- it's really strange........aaj tak to aisa kuchh suna nhi humne pichhle teen saalon mai........

vik- yaa.....asim is right....aisa kbhi hua nhi humare college ka koi student aise missing ho jaye......

zoya- arre guys she is an orphan and she used to live alone in a p.g........

Sidharth was listening all this quietly. Suddenly a strange fear gripped him, a strange feeling came inside him which took over his mind and heart, he wasn't able to understand that why he was feeling like that and then he looked up and there was the reason of his restlessness, his worry, he got to know that why he was feeling like that. Shehnaaz who was sitting beside her was the reason of his fear. He looked at her innocent , angelic face and he felt a sudden urge to protect her. He felt like he need to be with her always and without wasting a second he said......

sid- shehnaaz give me ur mobile.......(his voice held an urgency)

everyone looked at him confused. even shehnaaz was looking at him confused....

sid- fast......(said in a dominating voice)

without wasting a second, sana kept her mobile on his palm. He dialed his number in her mobile and give a missed call on his mobile than saved his number in her mobile with his name in capital letters...... SIDHARTH..........and gave it back to her. She looked at her mobile and a smile came on her lips seeing his number saved in her mobile. She looked at him who was already looking at her. She smiled at him and he did the same. There was an understanding building between them so effortlessly that neither he gave her any explanation nor she felt to ask for one. While others were still looking at them confusingly but after not getting any explanation, they again got busy among themselves.

After the college got over, they all went to there homes. Around 5 p.m., the girls got an email from college which stated that the girl Ria's dead body was found near a beach and it was a rape and murder case. Every student was needed to be present tomorrow at college because police wanted to ask questions to the students. Girls were frightened reading the news. It took some minutes for them to come out of shock. Sana was beyond shocked. she was numb. never in her life she came across such news that too about someone they knew. The girls came from Chandigarh where they were not used to hear about such cases. Keerat was about to call kaush regarding the news when shehnaaz's mobile ranged with which she came back into her senses. It was sidharth. She received the call but before she could say something, sidharth spoke.....

sid- hello....shehnaaz...are u okay....did u hear the news.......u guys are okay.....are u guys alone in the house......(he sounded worried)

sana- sidharth we all r okay.....u don't worry.......(she said in a calm voice but inside she was scared)

sid- okay......tum log kahin bahr mat jana...ghar m hi rehna.......aur door achhe se lock krke rakhna........aur guards ko bhi bolna k poora dhyaan rkhen...... it's not safe outside to please ghar m hi rehna....aur haan kll hum log pehle tumhare ghar aayenge fir sath m hi college chalenge...okay.......

sana- hmm(her voice was so low ...... he found out that she must be scared listening the news)

sid- shehnaaz......baby relax....darne ki zroorat nhi hai...... don't worry..........just relax....okay.....(he said in a calm voice )

sana- hmm........

sid- shehnaaz do you want me to come over there.......if u want m abhi aa jata hoon......

sana- no...no.....aap tension mat lo.....m theek hoon....hum sab theek hain..... don't worry......(said in a confident voice to assure him)

sid- okay take care.......kal milte hain....bye baby......

sana- hanji......bye......... and they cut the call.

asim- bhai......this is really something serious....

asim- hmm.......

After having dinner, everybody went to sleep but sleep was far away from them after hearing the news........

Next day.........

Boys reached at girl's house along with jass. Shefu and zoya were in the living room and keerat was packing sana's lunch while sana was in her room praying to waheguru g for that girl. she was feeling so bad for that girl even she didn't know her personally but she felt her pain. Infact, every girl would have felt her pain. Soon after prayers, she went downstairs. Sidharth and boys were sitting in living area. He felt her presence without even looking in her direction. he knew she was there. he looked up and there his girl was coming downstairs wearing..........

looking cute, beautiful and elegant in that simple outfit. He loved her in her every attire. He loved the way she carried herself. She looked so beautiful and elegant with so much innocence on her face.

She came downstairs and went towards them. Sidharth came infront of her and said...

sid- beautiful......(looking at her intensely)

sana looked up hearing his compliment and soon a blush covered her face and she shyly looked down. Sidharth smiled seeing her. Before he could say anything more, vikas spoke......

vik- let's go guys...we are getting late .......

sidharth hold shehnaaz's hand and started walking towards the door and others followed them. The boys already decided from home that they will drive girls car too and will mix up in both the cars so as always sidharth took shehnaaz to his car and made her sit on the passenger seat. He got settled on driver's seat with vikas and shefu with them. Rest of them settled in girl's car and soon both the cars headed towards the college.
