Holaaaa! What's up guys!!! Let's get into the update!
_______________________________
Everyone came in and sat down.
Meeti smiled brightly and said, Let's order na babe!!
Asim called the waiter and everyone started to place their order, meanwhile Sidharth just stared at the menu.
Shehnaz side glanced at him and saw him staring at it.
Sidharth was so confused because he had been long since he had Italian food, the last time he had was when he was in Italy helping a couple and that was in 1867, meanwhile Shehnaz thought he doesn't have much money that's why he's resisting.
Shehnaz cleared her throat and said, All the bill is on me.
Meeti and Asim gasped and said WOAH!
Ahaan- No I could pay too!
Shehnaz- Um.. er it's because it's our first meeting so.. just.. like that!
Shehnaz looked at Sidharth who was still struggling with the menu and then he sighed and said A glass of water please.
Shehnaz stopped the waiter and said, Red wine sauced spaghetti for him.
Sidharth looked at her surprised while she made a blank face and looked into the paper.
Sidharth looked down too smiling at what she did.
Meeti- I always knew Shehnaz that you think me as a bestfriend!
Shehnaz- No.
Ahaan- Let's get into the project.
Everyone started to decide the theme and they started to work on it.
Soon the food came in and Shehnaz looked at Sidharth who ate his spaghetti happily.
A little smile itched on her lips and Meeti caught it, she pointed her finger at her face and said WAIT YOU SMILED!
Shehnaz quickly dragged her eyes from Sidharth to Ahaan and Sidharth looked up and saw her looking at Ahaan.
Sidharth smiled thinking it's working, meanwhile Shehnaz held her hand tightly under the table.
Meeti and Asim left early while it was just three of them sitting.
Sidharth looked at both of them, and got up saying I have to leave too. I have got some work so see you.
Shehnaz looked at him and somewhere her heart ached, she thought Again he wants to be away from me. Am I that cold?
Just then Ahaan spoke up, Honestly even I have to leave.
Sidharth widened his eyes at him and whispered, Why the hell are you leaving?
Ahaan- Friends, they will kill me.
Sidharth shook his head while Shehnaz said, Perfect! No problem! I will just complete this and go.
Ahaan and Sidharth left while Sidharth stood at the bus stand near the cafe. Just then it started to rain heavily.
Sidharth looked back at the cafe and what he saw made him gasp a little air.
He clicked his fingers and the whole city paused.
He started to walk towards the cafe, as each and every rain drop.. every person had freezed.
He stood at the big glass of the cafe's window and saw Shehnaz smiling brightly looking at the rain and her index finger was touching the glass screen.
Sidharth brought his index finger and touched it at the same spot where Shehnaz had hers.
Watching her smile his heart again started to beat loudly, and he took long breaths of air to control himself.
He looked at her face and thought, What's wrong with me?
He got back to the bus stand, and clicked the finger back again.
It started to rain so heavily that it was suggested by the people to quickly go back to their homes.
Sidharth missed 3 buses as he waited for Shehnaz to come.
Just then Shehnaz came in hugging the books tightly and jumping towards the bus stand.
Shehnaz turned to her left and saw Sidharth, she looked at him surprised and said You still here?
Sidharth rubbed his neck and said, Oh that.. I got done with my work which was right here so now I am going back.
Shehnaz nodded.
Just then someone told them, that now the buses won't come on this stop; they have to go to the other bus stop which is like 10 minutes walking.
Shehnaz slumped and sat down, Sidharth thought to get an umbrella through his magic when for the first time he thought of doing something else.
He might feel like kicking himself after this, but this was what his heart screamed.
He held her hand and removed his jacket and covered her head and his head and dragged her along with him running to the bus stand.
Shehnaz looked at him shocked through the cover of the jacket and then a smile was formed on her lips seeing him smile while running.
He looked so gorgeous that Shehnaz couldn't help but blush.
They both were squeezed in together holding hands, she looked ahead to control herself when he looked at her smiling.
He stared at her for a good 5 minute drinking her every feature and suddenly everything froze again.
Sidharth looked around confused, as even Shehnaz froze again with the rain and everyone.
Just then he heard a feminine voice, he turned and saw one of his colleagues.
Sidharth was still in the position as the woman came near him and then looked at Shehnaz closely.
Sidharth- Why are you here Saira?
Saira- Just to see that what is making your dormant heart beat so fast. I was passing by when I heard your heart beat.
Saira- Hmm interesting. Cupid's heart beating for a human?
Sidharth- What rubbish? It's just that.. forget it!
Saira- Whatever floats your boat. Don't forget that it's your mission, not your love story.
Sidharth - Unfreeze and leave Saira!
Saira smirked and left but looked back at him once and shook her head.
Everything was back to normal and Shehnaz looked around confused and said, Did something happen?
Sidharth- No? Now come orelse we will be wet.
Shehnaz nodded and they quickly ran and stood under the shade.
Sidharth removed the jacket and got away from her and suddenly he felt cold.
Shehnaz was trying to dry her hair with her eyebrows furrowed.
Sidharth looked at her with a chuckle, which made Shehnaz snap her head at him and angrily said, What?
Sidharth- Woah woah woah! Relax Tigress. You know there's an amazing way to dry your hair.
Shehnaz- What?
Sidharth bent his head then suddenly started to rotate his head manically which made Shehnaz laugh loudly.
Sidharth stopped and looked at Shehnaz who was laughing loudly holding her stomach.
Shehnaz- You look like a washing machine ahahahah!
Shehnaz while laughing hit his shoulder which made Sidharth wince in pain.
Sidharth tried to smile but thought, this girl is so strong!! Owww.
Just then the bus came in and Shehnaz said- Get in quickly.
They both sat down at the back seats which were empty and looked at outside.
There was a calm silence between them as they both smiled at their reflections on the rainy window.
When Shehnaz went home she laid down on the bed and couldn't stop thinking when Sidharth pulled her inside his jacket.
Her cheeks turned red thinking what could have been if they would have been even closer. Shehnaz slapped herself and said, NO NO I DONT LIKE HIM! AT ALL!
Just then she saw Sidharth lying next to her with a smile, she looked at him shocked and said.. What.. are you doing here?
He smiled and kept his hand on her hair and softly ruffled it and said, Step one - Denial.
Suddenly he disappeared from her bed, she looked around frantically and screamed inside the pillow.
The next day in the college Shehnaz quickly entered the class and sat on the last seat.
As everyone started to come in, she saw him coming near her seat.
She panicked and saw Ahaan coming; she quickly shouted AHAAAN COME AND SIT HERE!
Ahaan and Sidharth looked at her shocked.
Ahaan happily jumped and sat next to her while Sidharth suddenly felt something prick him.
But he smiled and covered it up.
Meanwhile Ahaan's heart beat loudly as he sat down next to Shehnaz who was staring or we could say glaring at the notebook.
Ahaan smiled to himself as he sat next to him while Sidharth sat next to another girl but turned and looked at her where Ahaan was blushing looking at her.
He shook his head and turned for the class.
After the class Shehnaz quickly tried to leave even before Sidharth could see her.
Just then she stumbled and someone held her arm to make her stable.
She turned and saw that chocolate and flowers guy helping her.
The guy- Why are you so flustered? I have been watching you for 3 years and I have never seen you like this.
Shehnaz took a long breath and said, I need your help.
They sat down near the tree and Shehnaz anxiously played with her fingers.
The guy looked at her shocked and said You were never anxious? Do you like someone?
Shehnaz's head snapped at him so fast and she shouted WHAT RUBBISH NO! Just.. tell me.. what are the steps to know.. if you.. um like someone! ASKING FOR A FRIEND I SWEAR!
The guy tried to hide his smile because he knew she had no friends.
He played along and said, The first step is Denial..
Shehnaz shook her head.
He said- The next step is Avoiding.
Shehnaz looked at him wide eyed.
He continued and said- Then accepting.
Then Jealousy.
Then if you cross this, you're gone forever.
Shehnaz got up abruptly and said, I have to GO BYE!!!!
The guy chuckled at her obvious behaviour and started walking back to the class when he encountered Sidharth.
Sidharth- Why are you smiling so much?
The guy- Aah because I think finally the rude Shehnaz likes someone.
Sidharth stopped, and that prickling feeling came back.
He said, Oh.. she told you? Who.. is it?
The guy pouted and said that I don't know but I know she really likes someone.
Sidharth nodded and said I have to leave bye!
The guy turned and looked at sidharth walking so fast and thought what wrong with both of them?
Sidharth hit his head and thought, Stupid what are you even thinking? It's your job! Focus on that! I am so.. um so happy! Yes happy!
Just then he saw Shehnaz walking with a pencil in her mouth staring at her phone, when she didn't realise there was a water on the floor.
He quickly ran towards her just when Ahaan came in and grabbed her tightly, which made Sidharth stop.
He saw Shehnaz looking at him with her eyes twinkling and they both seemed lost, he turned his back at them and started to walk away and thought, Stupid. Cupids don't fall in love. They make people fall in love in love.
SO SO WHATS GOING ON SHEHNAAZZZZ?
