It has been a week since she had accepted the offer of Sidharth. She tried to write, but was not convinced with any of those.

Oho.. This room is a total mess!!!!

Shreya walked in seeing the room which was covered with rolled paper pieces.

I think I can't Shreya.. I need to inform Sidharth, so that he can find a better person for this

Baby, don't loose hope. Come let's go for a walk and have a cup of coffee. You need to calm yourself.

With that they moved out.

....

What happened miss writer??

Kesav teased Shehnaaz while placing a coffee on the table.

Uncle, I don't think I am capable of doing that. He should find someone better.

Beta, come

They both sat on a bench in the park near the coffee shop.

Have you ever been in love, beta?

Aah.. Crushes tho huva hei uncle. Lekin uss type ka love ab thak nhi. 

Pyaar karne ko mann kiya hei kabhi?

Shehnaaz looked at the sea in front of them at a distance. Cool breeze was caring her face and hair. She lost in her thoughts for a while.

Pyaar... Pyaar kya hota hei uncle?? 
I have read it only in novels and seen in movies?  Kya real life meim bhi aisa hota hei?  I don't think so?

Kesav just smiled at her question.

Jo fictions meim hote hei na, usse bhi khatarnak and exciting hota hei real life meim

Kya pyaar selfless hota hei?

Hmm.. Jab hum pyaar meim hote hei, waham do jism nhi hote, ek hi jaan hote hei. Donom ek hi ho jaate hei.

Shehnaaz was a little confused.

Tho kyo yeh har ek ko nhi hota??

Kyu ki we are chasing it. Pyaar itni age ki andar hi nhi hota.. We need to wait. Jo log shaadi karke settle hona chahte hei, wo pyaar ke liye wait nhi karte. Wo tho buss adjust karlete hei. Ek din pyaar zaroor hamare paas aayenge. Tab unko gale lagana ya tukrana hamare haat meim hota hei.

Aapko kab hua??

She saw a special glow in Kesav's eyes.  It was bright as a star and his cheeks turned red. A cute smile was playing on his lips.

Tara!!  I'm still in love with her. I can feel her always in my heart. I was living with my uncle for doing my pg. Bhagya, unke beti, uski friend dhi wo. Pata nhi kab hua kaise hua, bass hogaya. Her eyes.. You have seen her photo naa??

Shehnaaz nodded with amusement.

Uski aankhem samundar ki tharah gehri dhi.. hazaarom kahaniyam dhi unmem.. Wo ek dam alag dhi.. She was bold and full of attitude, you know?  Ladkem darte dhe uske paas jaane se, jhansi ki raani. But jinse wo pyaar karti dhi, unkeliye makhan jaise soft.

He smiled remembering about Tara. Shehnaaz has seen her photo in dance institute as well as in coffee shop. She was so beautiful. Most of the men of the town must have fallen in love at that time.

Kaise pata chala ki wahi hei aapki true love?

Ha haaa... Wo pata chal jaate hei beta.. Zindigi meim ek pal aayega jaha hameim yeh pata chalega ki wohi hei, jinke bina jeena mushkil ho jaayege...

Aur tumhem bhi milega ek din zaroor, jab koi aayega usko ek chance dena. Bhir dekna kya se kya hojayega.

Both giggled.

..

The words of Kesav has sure given some motivation and thoughts for Shehnaaz. She sat in the balcony and started writing. She completed it by 2 in the morning. She was totally excited. With in no time, she called Sidharth.

Sidharth, who was in deep sleep, was irritated by the ring. Without looking at the name, he picked up.

Kaun hei bey, need nhi hei kya??

He had still his eyes closed.

All the excitement of Shehnnaz was washed away by this single sentence. His words had started to affect her so much over these weeks, even though she hadn't shown it out.

Sorry, I will call you later, really sorry..

With that she started to end the call, but Sidharth spoke.

Hearing Shehnaaz's sound he jumped on the bed. He never expected a late night call from her, even though he needed it so badly.

Aah,, Shehnaaz... I'm sorry. Please don't cut the call. We can talk.

Mm. That...  I have written something. I don't know whether you will like it or not. I will show it you in the morning.

Morning??  Ooh!!  I don't think I can wait that much..  Can I come over there... NOW?

Shehnaaz was shocked by the words of Sidharth. She had never met a boy at this time. She was confused.

Shreya is sleeping, let me call her too.

No no... I mean... Let's just discuss, don't call anyone else.

The silence on the other end made him nervous.

Shehnaaz..  You trust me na??

Of course Sidharth.

She had no idea why she replied that spontaneously.

She was shivering as she was waiting for him near the garden area of their apartment. In few minutes, Sidharth reached there. He was too a little nervous. They got only rare moments to spend with each other without others.

Hey..

Sidharth greeted as he moved near to her. Shehnaaz just smiled and shown him the papers hesitantly. It was the first time she was sharing, something she wrote, with someone.

Her eyes were glued on Sidharth as he was turning the pages sitting beside her. As turning the last page, he looked at Shehnaaz.

It's beautiful!!

She was smiling broadly hearing his compliment. He too was so happy. His eyes traced all over her face, and came fixed on her lips. They were glowing in the lamb light near the bench. He was lost for a second, he had an argue to taste it.

Shehnaaz saw a special glow on Sidharth's face. May be story had dobe some magic, she thought. She saw his eyes wandering and got fixed on her lips. She swallowed some saliva as she too started to stare back at his lips. His lips were parted a little as if ready to take her's in his.

A ring on her phone brought back them to reality. They instantly moved back and looked away.

Seriously!!! Customer care at this time!!!

She cursed them in mind and cutted it.
They both found it difficult to fill the silence.

So, you like it?

She asked with a pout.

When he looked back at her, his eyes again went back to her lips. He found it difficult to control his emotions now. He closed his eyes  bited his lips.

Sidharth??

Haaa... Really beautiful! We can finalize it. Locations aur sab dekhna hei abhi.. I  need your help, ok?

He pleaded in his mind for her to agree. He wanted her to be with him as much as possible. It was all going out of his hands now. He realized that if he remain there for somemore time,  he would kiss her and then loss her forever.

Thank you for this Sidharth. I will be there for you.

Shehnaaz's eyes became moist hearing the complement. It was first time, she was getting appreciated for writing. Unconsciously she kept her hand over sidharth's and held it.

This means so much to me..  I'm not sure about my dream but for sure, you have given me a direction to think of.. Thank you Sidharth.

Sidharth brushed away some of the tears on her cheeks with his tumb and cupped her face. Tears were rolling down by that time. He didn't think twice, just placed his lips on her forehead and remained there for seconds.

I think, I leave now. Good night Shehnaaz.

He was startled by his own actions, he didn't wanted to regret it seeing her bad reaction. He wanted to treasure it in his heart.  So he bid good bye immediately without looking back.

Shehnaaz, who found peace for seconds was left confused by the next action of Sidharth.

He regrets it!

One more tear left her eyes as she walked back to the room.
