Sidharth was so sleepy as he didn't sleep properly that he decided to sleep for a while, as anyways it was Sunday.

He had hardly slept for 2 hours that his phone started ringing. He opened his 1 eye and saw the phone.

Ofcourse it's her, this phone belongs to her and the tension belongs to me. Hell! She isn't allowing me to sleep.

He disappointedly answers the call.

Sidharth: Hel...

Shehnaaz: I want you at my car parking in 15 minutes.

Sidharth: But.. (disconnected) Hello.. Hello..

He throws the phone on the bed and runs to the bathroom to brush and have bath. He comes out and looks at the clock he had 5 more minutes. He dressed up quickly, picked up the phone and rushed out of his room

Rachana: Sidharth, you are up? Have your breakfast, it's on the table.

Sidharth: Mom, I have some urgent work. I will come and have it later.

Before she could reply, he was out of the house. He reaches the car park. There were 6 cars and he remembered her car from last year. He went and stood near it. There was a honk. He looked into the direction and found her sitting in the back seat after honking. He ran to it and went near her window.

Shehnaaz: You are 1 minute late, I hate unpunctual people.

Sidharth thinks:
Yeah! As if I love you.

Love? That word can never exist between her and me. I hate you more than you hate me.

Shehnaaz: What are you looking at my face, start the car!

Sidharth: Car? Me?

Shehnaaz: I knew you have some problem with your brain but looks like your ears are also not functioning properly. I said, start the car.

Sidharth: But, why would I? I ain't your driver.

Shehnaaz: The contract you signed mentioned "you will be available 24/7 to deliver all the duties specified by Ms. Shehnaaz Dalal"

He grumpily sits in the driving seat and starts the car.

Shehnaaz: Follow the GPS route.

He drives silently and they reach a mall. She walks into a branded clothing store and Sidharth follows her.

Shehnaaz: Stand two arms away from me.

Sidharth nods. Dips, Angel and Rin were waiting for her. Sidharth facepalms himself looking at the other girls from his class.

Dips: Hello Shen!

Shehnaaz: Hi Gals!!

They all cheek kiss each other. Sidharth hides himself behind a clothes rack to avoid embarrassment.

The girls look at the clothes and try one by one unaware that Sidharth was there with Shehnaaz. Sidharth was literally bored and hungry as he waited for them to finish their shopping. It was almost 2 hours.

Sidharth thinks
Are they buying entire shop? Look at the amount of time they are taking on shopping. I have to study as well. She didn't allow me to sleep nor eat my food. It's already afternoon.

Shehnaaz: Sidharth!! Take these bags.

Dips, Angel and Rin were shocked to see him. He banged his head virtually to a wall nearby. He takes her bag.

Shehnaaz: Girls, what are looking at? Give him your bags.

Sidharth stares at her.

Rin: What is he doing over here?

Angel: Ohh!! Ahaa Ahaa Ahaa.. are y'all dating?

Shehnaaz: What? No ways! He isn't my type! I've hired him as my Personal Assistant. So come on girls hand over your bags and be hands free. I am hungry.

Sidharth thinks
As if I am interested in her. If it were in my hand I would have not seen her face itself. Such an arrongant girl.

Except for Dips everyone gives their bag to him and he looks at Dips as to why she isn't handing him her bag.

Dips: No, it's okay Sidharth. I'll can carry it. There are already 15+bags in your hand.

Shehnaaz: It's ok Dips you can give it to him. Why do you think people have big biceps if they can't hold few bags.

Dips: No Shen, I can hold my bag please.

Shehnaaz: Fine, your wish!! Come on Girls lets eat something. Sidharth you can keep the bags in the car and wait for us.

Sidharth frowns yet finds it better to leave then look at her face. He goes to the parking and keeps all the bags in car's trunk. He sips some water as he was hungry.

The girls order for food and gobble on the food and leave to go home. They all reach the parking.

Shehnaaz: Girls take your respective bags.

Sidharth opens the trunk and allows Rin and Angel to take bags. Dips goes to Sidharth and offers a packet.

Dips: I didn't know what you would like, just got you a Chicken burger.

Sidharth: Huh? For me? That's not needed.

Dips: What's the big deal? It's just food, eat it. Will take some more time until they finish their chit chatting. You must be hungry.

Shehnaaz observes them, frowns and keeps the packet she had got for him on the seat next to the driving seat. Shehnaaz calls off once she thinks he was done eating.

While Sidharth drove her home, she asks him to play a song from the pen drive hanging in the music system.

Oh God! Why can't she allow me to drive in silence? Her choices will be loud music which I feel is just a noise.

He turns on the stereo and he was shocked to hear the soft and soothing music. Those were his favourite number as well. He looks at her through the mirror. She had her eyes closed and head resting on the seat at the back.

She likes these musics. Doesn't go with her personality. The calmness on her face looks so opposite from the way she behaves.

They reach home and he parks the car. A servant rushes to pick the bag from trunk.

Shehnaaz: You may go home, I will call you if I need.

She gets down from the car and goes to her room. The servant follows her and Sidharth was about to get down when he looks at the packet on the next seat. He picks it up to give it to her when he finds his name written on it.

This has my name mentioned on it! What's in it? (Opens it) It's Veg Katti rolls! She got this for me? Why didn't she give it then? I refused to accept Dipti's burger since it was a non-veg burger. If at all she had given me this I would have eaten it there itself. I am surprised though that Shehnaaz thought of getting me this.

He sits in the car and eats it since he never believed in wasting food and moreover it was for him. Once done he goes back home.

Rachana: Sidharth, what is it? You said you will be back soon to eat your breakfast. You need to learn discipline and appreciate other's work. If you had informed me earlier I wouldn't have cooked for you. You ain't wasting food. Go and heat it and have it now along with the lunch.

He had no option or reason to escape. He ate the breakfast and lunch together. He was full until throat.

Oh God! I was hungry since morning and now eaten 3 meals together. I feel as if my stomach will burst anytime. This is a torture and I am sandwiched between Ms. Haughty and Mom.

Suchi comes and sits beside him.

Suchi: Bhaiyya, I was planning to make pakodas for evening snack.

Sidharth held his stomach and then folded both his hands.

Sidharth: Please pardon me Chutki. I think I will not eat anything for 2 more days.
