Chapter 5: 1.3

Hola! I am here!!

Let's dive in! 🐬

________________________________

The next day Shehnaz woke up a little late because she was writing her other fiction web series.

She quickly took a bath and wore some sweats and a top and ran to the breakfast area.

Shehnaz did her HI's to all her team mates and went to the buffet and started to fill her plate.

Just then she heard a voice, Oyeee Shehnaz! Come with us!

Shehnaz turned back and saw Bhajji waving at her, she smiled and said Alright.

She looked around and saw Mr. captain wasn't there so she did a little happy dance because she had no energy to face him.

She sat down in between Vishal and Bhajji as they all started to talk about random stuff.

Bhajji- Shehnaz so where do you live in Mumbai?

Shehnaz- Ghar par?

Vishal chuckled while Bhajji shook his head.

Shehnaz- Acha yaar suno sab pehle meri baat! Dubai mein Kaunsi kaunsi jagah hai Achi ghumne ke liye?

Asim- Arrey dont worry in this year we do have more Dubai trips!

Shehnaz pouted and said Still I wanna go out you know!

Asim smiled and said, Wait I will message you some places and my driver will take you!

Bhajji- You lucky girl, we are here stuck with the devil himself and you would enjoy.

Shehnaz flicked her hair dramatically but then said don't worry I am not leaving right now. I am gonna come to your practice first.

Bhajji- Ah Shehnaz Thankyou I felt much better!

Shehnaz showed him her palm as if giving him some blessings.

Soon after lunch everyone went to the practice field.

Shehnaz was setting up the camera and everything with Rudra while the boys started to practice.

Suddenly her eyes zeroed at a figure and her breath hitched. There was the devil himself, shirtless doing push ups as the sweat on his body glistened as diamonds. Wearing the white practice pants and a white cap he looked like a freaking god. His chiseled jaw was clenching as he did his pushups while his hard muscles were making Shehnaz gulp the lump quite painfully.

Fuck, why did he have to be hot! Shehnaz whispered to herself.

Shehnaz thought, no wonder girls drool over him! I mean just look at his tanned skin, Arrgh shehnaz focus.

The camera was set on Sidharth as he was warming up and Shehnaz tried to busy herself by writing the first episode of this web series.

Taking Rudra along she walked towards Sidharth and said, Sir we want a little 20 minute one to one talk about your starting cricket days while you, you know practice ?

Sidharth nodded but then Shehnaz said, Um and please wear a shirt.

Sidharth snapped his head at her and smirked- Why Ms. Gill does my body makes you nervous?

Shehnaz's cheeks turned warm and she said, pfttt hah  no way! As if! AS IF! Actually don't wear a shirt, that's what people would like to see!

Sidharth smirked at her and then he started to talk about his early days.

Shehnaz was behind the camera and a smile came over her lips as he jokingly talked about his Gully cricket when he used to be made the 12th man.

Shehnaz thought, only if he wasn't this cocky ! He is quite geninue! Chup ekdum chup shehnaz!

Shehnaz yawned as she felt sleepy and slowly kept her head on Rudra for rest.

Meanwhile his eyes froze at her action and a weird sensation took place inside him. He felt like ripping Rudra off and making Shehnaz keep her head on his shoulders.

He fisted his hands but quickly shook his head and continued talking.

After 3 hours the whole first episode was shooted, it was an insight of his early days.

Rudra thanked Sidharth while his eyes were fixed on her.

She shouted, ASIM!!!! I have to leave!

Asim nodded and said you go and change and the driver would be in the porch.

Shehnaz quickly thanked him and ran away while Sidharth got up and asked Asim about her whereabouts.

First Asim stared at his face because for the very first time Sidharth was asking about a girl's whereabouts?

Asim didn't budge him and told him everything while Sidharth nodded and then said, Don't ask your driver.

Now Asim couldn't hide his smile and he said, Why?

Sidharth- Because.. Because.. ITS NONE OF YOUR BUSINESS!!

Asim- Whatever floats your boat!

Sidharth kicked his leg and went away while Asim started to sing- Pyaar hua iqraar hua hai, pyaar se fir kyun darta hai Dil?

Suddenly Bhajji jumped on him and said, Haye kise kisko pyaar hua?

Asim fake glared at him and said, Practice karo!

Bhajji showed him his middle finger and went back to practice.

Meanwhile Shehnaz quickly changed into some jeans and a spaghetti top.

She decided to click some pictures today so she did a little makeup and went to the porch.

A worker of the hotel said, Shehnaz maam? The car is waiting for you!

Shehnaz thanked him and walked to the main porch when she gasped.

There stood a Matt black coloured Lamborghini. She looked around to find any other car when the Lamborghini honked.

Shehnaz- I am so gonna talk to Asim on this I mean Lambo is too much!

She got inside the passenger seat ( I know you guys know it but still, Lamborghini has only two seats) and without looking at the driver she said, Shukran bhaijaan!

She closed her door when she heard a husky voice which said, I AM NOT YOUR BHAIJAAN!

Shehnaz looked at the person in shock and said, Raj- I mean sir..? Oh sorry I am in the wrong car I- I will leave.

Shehnaz was about to go when he grabbed her wrist and pulled her back on the seat while her hair touched his skin making him inhale the flowerly scent.

Sidharth cleared his throat and said, Well Asim's driver got ill and we couldn't let you go by cab because you are my- OUR responsibility here.

Shehnaz nodded and thanked him when suddenly he started to laugh.

Sidharth- By the way, Why did you say Shukran bhaijaan?

Shehnaz got red in embarrassment and said, Because.. he might be an.. Arab so I googled it.!

Sidharth laughed and said, Cute!!!

Shehnaz froze as her heart beat so fast when he complimented her, thought it was a simple word cute.

Sidharth- So where do you wanna go?

Shehnaz- Definetly not to a gym!

Sidharth fake  laughed and said So funny. Do you wanna see Burj khalifa!?

Shehnaz clapped her hands in excitement and then said YES!!

The drive was a silent one and then they reached the destination.

Sidharth wore his cap and wore a scarf which hid his nose to mouth.

Shehnaz- Are we gonna rob a bank? You didn't tell me!?

Sidharth rolled his eyes and said, I am without any bodyguard so if anyone gets to know it's me it would be a huge problem.

Shehnaz felt bad and said Listen I will quickly go and see the thing and come back. Don't worry you stay-

Sidharth interrupted her and said, I wanna go because even I haven't seen it!

Shehnaz gasped dramatically and said WHAT!

Sidharth- Come! Now don't waste your time!

Shehnaz huffed and said, puri acting toh karne Dete!

Sidharth locked the doors and pulled shehnaz to see the beauty.

Shehnaz blinked her eyes and stared at the building with her mouth hung up in awe.

Meanwhile Sidharth stared at her face and his heart prickled at her innocence. His heart smiled for the first time the way her eyes twinkled and shined with happiness.

Shehnaz while staring at the building said, It's so beautiful right!

Sidharth Hmmed while looking at her and slowly whispered, So beautiful !

Shehnaz shook his hand and said Now click some good pictures of me! Aur meri agar Gaandi picture li toh dekhna!

Sidharth chuckled and nodded, he was very happy that for the first time someone treated him as a normal person not as the captain of the team.

Shehnaz first did the typical Pose which meant acting like she was holding the top of the building.

Then she shouted, Main zara side mein dekhungi aur hasungi take my candid okay?

Sidharth laughed while she faked laughed and looked at the other side.

Then she took the phone and said Now you go! GO!

Sidharth stood near the building and just kept his hands in the pocket. Shehnaz grumbled and said Thorda Pose karo?

Sidharth rolled his eyes and came back to her.

One old lady saw them and said Should I click a picture of both of you together?

Before Shehnaz could say no, Sidharth quickly said yes.

Sidharth removed his scarf and Shehnaz stared at him shocked and said Sid-

Sidharth stopped her and said, it's worth it.

It's worth it, 3 words caused butterflies to dance in her belly.

Sidharth grabbed her by her waist as her breathing hitched, his touch was so weirdly calming. No shocks, only tingles of rain.

They smiled widely for the picture and Sidharth quickly wore his scarf.

But it was late, someone saw him and shouted IS IT SIDHARTH SHUKLA?

Sidharth held shehnaz's hand and took the phone and literally ran with her.

Shehnaz was laughing all the way as his cap fell on the way dramatically and he was so anxious as if the floor was on fire.

They quickly sat in the lambo and Shehnaz again started to laugh.

Sidharth pouted as her teasing and then said, Well I might haven't seen a lot of places here to visit but I definetly know a good place for ice cream? Are you up?

Shehnaz- Ofcourse? I could even kill the captain of the Indian cricket team for that!

Sidharth rolled his eyes and started to drive to the place.

He ordered the ice cream and sat inside their car and started to eat their ice creams.

Sidharth- So what's your dream?

Shehnaz- Umm I want to kill the captain of the Indian cricket team?

Sidharth- Shehnaz!! Your real goal!

Shehnaz- Umm I always wanted to make my own movies. Though I am so bad at romance and have no experience what so ever but I have always loved cliche love stories. And I wish the world could see what's in my mind. I want to write something which makes people feel like fuck I want this! Fuck I want to wait for this!

I don't want to settle for anything less than that!

Sidharth stared at her face as she talked about her dreams using her hands and eyebrows animatedly.

Shehnaz- So what's your dream? Wait your dream is already fulfilled.

Sidharth smiled as his heart wanted to shout the answer but he couldn't.

Sidharth- So what's love for you?

Shehnaz- Um! For me its efforts! If there isn't any efforts then there isn't any love. What about you?

Sidharth- For me love is acceptance. Accepting whoever and whatever I am and supporting me forever.

Shehnaz smiled and continued eating her ice cream.

Sidharth turned on the Bluetooth to play some songs when the recently placed song blared through the speakers,

PIYAAA TU AB TOH AJAAAAA!

Shehnaz growled and said SIDHARTH SHUKLA I WILL KILL YOU!

WOHO PROGRESS PROGRESS PROGRESS!!!!❤️❤️🥰
