Raghav and Sidharth were sitting in the rest area of their dance school while the phone rang. Seeing the name of Dev flashing on the screen Sidharth became more curious.

Hello sir, how are you??

I'm fine Sid. What's up?  Any new projects?

Some small works Sir.

Are you ready to direct a music video??

For a moment Sidharth was speechless. It was a big opportunity for him.

Sure Sir.. He said excitedly.

Hmm... It's not a big project. Music is by my friend's brother Mr. Manik. He is young and he do want to act in that, you know.

Yaah yaah Sir. It's ok. I will take care of  it.

Then I'm coming back Mumbai tomorrow afternoon. Meet me at airport. There will be Manik too.

Ok Sir. Thank you so much.

Aah.. It's ok.. You are my favourite. Bye.. See you tomorrow.

Bye Sir.

Sensing the smile on Sidharth's face, Raghav asked curiously.

Kya hei bhai??  Kuch kamaal horaha hei kya??

Kuch aisa hi samjho.. Chance hei ek music video direct karne ko milegaa

Wow.. Congratulations bhai.. Party tho banta hei

Ha haa sab karta hu... Aaj tho papa ko party dena hei pehle.. Thu aaj bhi sambhale zumba.. Kal night pakka party..

Dheek hei bhaii.... Pata nhi kaise tere fan girls ko sambhaloonga. Shreya tho marr rahi hei tujhe dekhe bina..

Yaar... Paka mat na yaar...

With that they went back to their classes to teach.

........

Dekhlo... Meim kehti hu, sach meim Rahul ko tumeim interest hei..

Shreya said turning her head from her computer to look at Shehnaaz.

Tumeim bhi lagi naa... Mujhe bhi lagi.. Dekhna do din meim vo kisi aur ko zaroor propose karega.

Shehnaaz said chuckling.

Haa???  Aise kaise?

Experience hei boss.. Jab bhi mujhe lakti hei ki koi ladka mujhe like karta hei, tabhi wo kisi aur ko propose karke meri galat bhaimi ke gubbare phot deta hei..

Shreya shaked her head in disbelief.

Then they walked to the canteen to have lunch. They stopped seeing a crowd in front of them. Everyone were clapping and laughing. Then the sight in front of them made them to burst into laughter.

Rahul was on his knees and putting a ring on Riya's finger. Yes!  A proposal.

How lucky you are Shehnaaz.

I know.

Both gave a hi fi and giggled.

......

Papa chalo late horahe hei.. Movie shuru hojayegaa abhi.

Sidharth said looking at his watch restlessly. It was his treat for his father for their reunion after a month. The white shirt and the denim jeans made him look the hottest boy of the town.

Kesav wasn't less handsome in his kurta and pants.

Ready ho beta chalo..

Haay... Aaj tho ladkiya aap ke pichche honge papa.. Dekhiyo

Chal pagal.. Nazar na lage mujhe..

Both laughed and got in Sidharth's bike.

....

Shreya took almost an hour to satisfy herself with her makeup. She was going to meet Sidharth after a long month. She couldn't step back as there will be a little competition in their zumba class. Some of them have actually joined there only for Sidharth. She was checking herself through the mirrors on the side of the reception table, while Shehnaaz was filling her entry form. Shehnaaz smiled looking at the restless Shreya.

Do you really love Sidharth?

Shehnaaz asked as they walked to the workout room.

Haa.. Yeh kaisi question hei??  Of course I do!

Par tune hi tho kahi dhi ki, tum usse utni baat nhi ki hei aur yaha har ladki uspe hi marti hei..

Haa tho.. It's called love at first sight, you know?? Uska pehla jhalak meim hi mujhe usse pyaar hogayi..

Love at first sight aise kuch nhi hota.. Pehle usse samaj bhir dekh pyaar hota hei ya nhi.

Tu na saare love stories padke paagal hogayi hei... Usmem nhi hei kya yeh sab??

Novels and films meim hi yeh sab achche lagte, real life is different.. Jaane bina kaise pyaar kar sakti hei??

Meim kar sakti hu.. Aur tu dekhiyo meim teri novel wali stories ko sach karke dikhayegi.

Haa... Dekhte hei...

They were interrupted by some more ladies who came for zumba along with Raghav.

Aaj bhi Sid nhi hei kya??

One of the ladies asked desperately.

Kal tak wait karlo meri behan.. Aajayega..

Some ladies sighed while others laughed.

....

Next day at airport at 1:30 pm..

Sidhath was waiting in the lobby for Dev and Manik.

Hey, Mr. Sidharth?

A man asked controlling his laughter.

Yes.  Sidharth turned to find one of his bad dreams.

Ooh.. Don't tell me you are Mr. Manik..

Sorry bro... But I  am..

He laughed holding his stomach while Sidharth shaked his head in disbelief.

Ooh man.. I'm really sorry for that day, especially your first kiss..

They both shared a hug.

Aah.. Anyway leave it. You got your date na??

Mera life ke sabse boring date dha... Last meim chupke bhaag na pada.

Both laughed giving a hi fi.

Yeh red rose kis keliye hei?? 

Sidharth doubted.

Suna hei Dev saab ko red rose bahut pasand hei.

Pata hei na, wo gay hei. Tujpe pyaar na hojaye..

Yaar... Meim tho buss unhe impress karna chahta dha.. Bhai ne bola bahut rude hei.. Galat lagega kya??

Nhi nhi... Aisa kuch nhi hei.. Meim buss mazak kar raha dha.. Unka already partner hei..

Within few minutes Dev joined them and discussed about the new music video. As Manik had no much idea about acting and dance,  Dev adviced Manik to join Sid for a month in his Dance institute.

Shehnaaz was shocked to see the couple again in front of her, hugging and sharing a red rose. She was there to meet her sister as she had a connected flight from Bangalore to Paris via Mumbai. She saw the couple was joined by a famous dancer Dev. She has heard that he was a gay and works for LGBT community. So she some how figured out with her imagination that what was happening there.

Haaye, agar mujhe bhi aise logom ko support karne ki chance milegi tho meim bhi karugi.. Bachare log kitni fights karne padte hei apne haq ke liye.

She thought as she left the airport.

....

Shreya forced Shehnaaz to do their dinner outside today. It was just her lame excuse to meet Sidharth. Shehnaaz gave in knowing her intention. She smiled in her mind.

How can I help you??

Shehnaaz who was busy in her phone looked up hearing an unfamiliar voice. While Shreya was literally jumping on her seat, Shehnaaz was completely in shock...

Sidhaarthhh.... I missed you so much..

Shreya hugged Sidharth tightly. Sidharth tried to escape from her hug making an awkward face..

I missed you too..

He said while thinking...

Ooh... Shit!!! Why this women is always clingy??  Can't she see that I am not interested in her..

Thoughts end.

Finally, Shreya sat on her chair blushing.

Your order?

Sidharth tried to make a pleasing face.

Shreya made her order and looked at Shehnaaz. She was still staring at Sidharth.

Haaaye.. Yeh kya hogaya.. Shreya ki Sidharth aur wo ladka same... Haaye iss bechari ko meim kaise handle karungi... Bata du kya??  Nhi nhi.. shayad wo abhi tak kisi ko is cheese ke baare meim bataya nho hogaa... Ammaa... Ab kya karu meim..

Shehnaaz's chain of thoughts were broken by a small tap on her sholder by Sidharth.

Are you ok??  Kya chahiye aapko??

Haah... No no... Means... I'm ok... I need.. Aah... Just a coffee.

Shehnaaz found it difficult to form her sentence.

Ok..

With that Sidharth left from there, a little confused by Shehnaaz's behavior.

Yeh aise khoor kyu rahi dhi jaise koi bhoot dhekhiho... Koi problem hei kya chehre meim..

Sidharth checked himself on the mirror before going to place the order.

Without looking at Sidharth, Shehnaaz drunk her coffee and waited for Shreya to complete. Shreya, who was completely lost in Sidharth didn't noticed all these things.

Papa.. Yeh kuch ajeeb hei kya??

Sidharth asked Kesav pointing towards Shehnaaz as both the girls were leaving the shop.

Wo... Wo tho bahut achi hei.. Zyada baat nhi karti hei,  lekin bahut achi smile hei uski.. Sabko dekhte hi wo smile karti hei.. Kya hua??

Kuch nhi...

Still confused Sidharth went to his room..

Wo smile karti hei??  Mujhe dekhke tp nhi kiya!

He pushed those thoughts away and kissed his mother's photo and switched off the lights to sleep.

...

Bechara Kesav uncle kaise sambhalenge apne aapko jab yeh sach pata chalega..

Shehnaaz closed her giving a sigh and hugged her new bought teddy.
