Sidnaaz has reached New York, the Langham hotel Sidharth left shehnaaz to the hotel's room and he went for the meeting,

A handsome man in a black three-piece suit wearing black sunglasses darted into sidhrath's cabin strode towards Sidharth's chair turned him aggressively grabbed his neck choking him, Sidharth punched him on his stomach in defense

"Ahh!! Bro that was a hard one "the man shrieked in pain

Sidharth smirked getting up buttoning his coat

"Momin, you will never change", Sidharth smiled as he pulled the boy in a hug

"Please, maintain some distance I don't embrace the stranger", Momin said pushing Sidharth

"But what have I done to get this girlish tantrum", Sidharth frowned  

"What have you done? What you not have done? Like seriously how could you even ask me this question" Momin showed his resentment

"Seriously, dude, I don't have any idea of you being upset" Sidharth explained walking close to him

Clap! Clap! "Great man, you know what, today I got to know what importance I hold in your life" Momin clapped in taunt
"My best friend got married and he didn't find me worthy to be a part of his happiness " Momin accused Sidharth

"I am sorry bro, everything happened in a haste, besides that, it wasn't marriage out of love, It was more like a formality than a marriage"  Sidharth confessed as he sat down on his chair

The crease formed on Momin's forehead as he heard formality

"Explain, everything now" Momin demanded in a flat tone as he sat on the nearby couch

Sidharth explained everything him everything till his wedding

"Ohh I see", Momin uttered as he listened to the whole story

"Ok now, Tell me something about bhabi", Momin said

"I don't want to talk about her and stop addressing her bhabi " Sidharth notified in an authoritative tone

"Come on let's do a party", Momin dragged Sidharth with him 

******
Two days later

Shehnaaz is pacing back and forth in tension and apprehension, it's been two days since Sidharth left her alone in a foreign place, and didn't return to see if she is fine or not. This is the first time she is out of home and that is too far from her country.
Shehnaaz's pov
Shehnaaz offered prayer and prayed for him tears were running down her cheeks falling on the prayer mate, displaying her fears of being left alone

God, please keep him safe
I hope he is fine, please Khudaya send him fast
What will I do, whom do I ask? Who will tell me where is he? I don't know anyone in this city, what will I do,

Will he be fine? Has something happened to him? No, no shehnaaz doesn't think like that may be he is busy with his work, shehnaaz is talking to herself pacifying own self as there is no one with whom she can share her fears.

"Reception yeah reception will must have his number, they will definitely help me contacting him", shehnaaz thought as she harshly wipe her tears and got up from prayer mate

She got out of the room with trembling steps her whole self was shivering in fear, she never talked with a stranger how will she talk to reception, her hate rate was throbbing in her chest, beads of sweat were forming on her forehead in anxiety

Ma'am ma'am! a tall man of green orbs dressed in the hotel clothing, called shehnaaz as he saw her scared and nervous......
*********
Sidharth is working on his laptop in his office when his phone light on and the phone rang he received after seeing the caller id

"What's that bro you are still working, enjoy bro enjoy the life" the caller chirped from the phone

"Momin, I was enjoying with you for two days, now let me complete my work for which I came" Sidharth spoken on his phone while his  eyes were fixed on the desktop screen

But bro... He was cut in his sentence
"Momin, I said you I need to complete my work, you better not force me" Sidharth cut him in an instructional tone 

Bro but listen Sidharth declined his call without letting him complete

His phone vibrated and rang again, but he didn't look at his phone thinking it was Momin's call
Knock knock!!

"Come in" Sidharth allowed the knocker while working

"Sir, delegates have arrived they are waiting for you in the meeting room", the person informed Sidharth

"Fine I will be there in five minutes" Sidharth responded to him 

Sidharth left for the meeting, leaving his phone on the table, while his phone kept ringing

1 hour later

Sidharth was shaking hands with the delegates, commenting on their works when suddenly the peon run-in into the meeting room panting heavily

"Sir, sir there is a ca...ll on t...he la...online fr..om your h..ome, they asked you to attend their call", peon said while taking a high breath

"Okay but why are you gasping", Sidharth asked being confused about his urgency
"Sir, your dadi said if you won't receive a call in one minute she will throw me out" peon mumbled being frightened

Sidharth shook his head in disbelief
He went to his office attended the call without looking at the caller id
"Hello"
"Sir sorry for the inconvenience we will try to compensate for your loss," the person said on the phone in guilt

"Who am I talking with?  Sidharth asked being perplex

Sidharth eyes broadened his heartbeat increased, the phone fall from his hand, and the only word left in his mouth was
"Shehnaaz"
