Chapter-2 *Dinner Plans*

************ ( Note )

Sidharth and Shehnaaz have never met each other in person, although their families are very close. They only know each other's names. And it is so because both the families gather together very rarely and at that time also, sometimes Sidharth was present and Shehnaaz was not able to be there due to some emergency and sometimes vice-versa.

Gills', Shehnaaz's bedroom
8:30am

The sun-rays peeping through the windows and the loud ringing sound of the alarm disturbed her sleep. She woke up stretching her arms and opened her eyes groggily, owing to the bright sunlight. Then only a strike of pain hit her head and she sat up. She held her head and groaned. The events of last night flashed in front of her eyes. She cursed herself for drinking alcohol, that too in a amount which was very much for the first time, and the outcome was the stupid headache! Her self-cursing session was abruptly stopped by a knock on the door.

"Come in!"she yelled.

The person came in and stood near the bed, in front of her, holding a glass in his hand, while she was looking down holding her head and wincing in pain. When she felt someone's presence near her, she looked up to see there was Shivay, holding a glass of lemonade.

"Good Morning Bhai!"she greeted him. He just hummed in reply and forwarded the glass towards her.

"Drink it, get ready and after that come downstairs for breakfast."he ordered, while she just nodded her head. He went from there, not before closing the door.

She gulped it down in one go, quickly got down from the bed and went in the bathroom to take a shower.

Dining area
9:00am

Shivay, Manik and Rohit were discussing about business, while Dipika was laying out the dishes on the dining table. They all were waiting for Shehnaaz to come so that they could start the breakfast. There was a rule in the mansion, made by Shivay ( so obviously it was strictly followed by everyone ), according to which, they all would always have breakfast and dinner together. And especially Shivay and Manik, they did not eat the first bite of food of the day before Shehnaaz! And if she would not be there during breakfast due to any emergency or being out of the town, they would face-time her and would ask her to eat in front of them, and if any one of them would not be present, then also they would do the same.

"Sali Sahiba aayi nahin abhi tak?"asked Rohit to no one in particular as he could not control his hunger.

"I had gone to give her lemonade and had told her to get ready and come for breakfast. She must be coming!"Shivay said looking at Rohit, to which he nodded.

"Good morning everyone!"came her chirpy voice as she entered the dining area, all ready for the day.
