Hey everybody, hope u r doing well, take care❤

NSA HEADQUARTERS, DELHI
Sidnaaz reached the office n went straight to the conference room, the senior's were already present there n all gang members except Arnav n Sajid.

After sometime they also arrived n the meeting was started, this time Sid was explaining details on the smartboard as the informer was his, he was extremely on point while leading the meeting, after wards the gang n seniors went through a thorough analytical research n came up with a new plan for mission sophomore.

Mr. K:So, agents u all will leave for Himachal in two hours, pack ur bags, buck up n return with success.
Gang:yes sir
N all of them went straight to their room to pack stuff. While leaving for their rooms, Sidnaaz looked at eo coincidently n shared a tensed look but gave eo a consoling smile telling everything will be alright.

Exactly after two hours,at 5 in the evening,the gang met at the parking point, they were given an 8 seater car by NSA, yes they had to travel by road bcuz the mission demanded so.

Joy was on drivers seat, Ayesha on the passanger seat, sajid, arnav, khushi in the middle seat followed by sidnaaz n Naira on the backseat.

(Delhi to Himachal takes approximately 9 hours by road n they'd take a one hour halt in between for dinner so after total 10 hours they'll reach Himachal)

AFTER 4 HOURS, 9 PM AT NIGHT, HIGHWAY

Now ,Naira was driving n Joy was on backseat with Sidnaaz. Most of the gang was asleep, Shehnaaz too, in sleep she was leaning towards Joy who himself was asleep, Sid saw this n scrunched his nose unknowingly, he slightly shook her shoulder to make her come back to her original position, after sometime she leaned again but this time on Sidharth, he moved closer to her so that she could sleep well, so now shehnaaz was sleeping on Sid's shoulder, she was looking such a pretty soul while sleeping Sid was busy admiring him, he had this sweet smile on his face just looking at her innocence.

Suddenly Naira applied break n Shehnaazs body was pushed forward, her head could have been hit but Sid placed his hand in front of her head n prevented any accident.

Sajid:Naira kya kar rhi ho
Naira:sorry samne billi agayi achanak
Arnav:oh theek hai
Now the gang was wide awake
Shehnaaz looked at Sid grateful for preventing her from getting hurt, she opened her mouth to thank him but was interrupted by Khushi
Khushi:hume bohot bhook lagi hai, hum kab halt lenge, yaha paas mein koi dhaba hai kya??
Ayesha:ha mujhe bhi, yaha 5 km baad ek dhaba hai, waha ruke hum??
The gang was super hungry, they all agreed, after sometime they reached the dhaba n got down to eat.

So in the dhaba as well Sidnaaz were sitting beside eo, they realized while ordering that their food preferences differed widely n mentally made a note of what the other liked, all this again unknown to their mind but known to their hearts.

After dinner, the gang set off to Himachal again, they reached Himachal at around 3:30 am midnight, they were to stay at a local lodge as tourists so as to avoid suspicion, all of them were so tired, they immediately went to sleep.

NEXT MORNING 9 AM, HIMACHAL LODGE

The gang had to leave for ground work at 12 pm.

Shehnaaz had gotten up half an hour ago, she couldn't sleep well due to change of place, so after taking a bath n getting ready for the day she called her family n had an elaborate talk with them, after which she felt her stomach growling due to hunger, she went towards the kitchen in the villa provided to them.

When she entered the kitchen, she was pleasantly surprised to see Sidharth already in the kitchen, dressed in a tshirt n Jean n tossing a pan, probably making breakfast.

Shehnaaz coughed to make him aware of her presence n he did turn towards equally surprised to see her up so early bcuz all others were still asleep. They smiled at eo
Sid:hey,good morning, u r up so early!!
Shehnaaz:so are you!! I couldn't sleep bcuz of change of place
Sid sighed n said
Sid:ahhh sameee, anyways breakfast??
He pointed towards the French toast he was almost done making
Shehnaaz wasn't really sure what to tell bcuz he was making it for himself but she didn't want to sound rude by denying so she agreed plus she was really hungry. (There was a chef assigned by NSA to the gang, but he'll come a bit late n Sid was hungry so he was cooking by himself)
Shehnaaz:sure
Shehnaaz walked to a cabinet n started taking some stuff out
Shehnaaz:hot chocolate??
Sid looked up to her n nodded with a smile
The French toast n hot chocolate was ready, they moved towards the garden attached balcony n sat down for breakfast together. It was such a beautiful scene, them sitting in the midst of minimum sunlight n greenery of Himachal with their jackets on, due to the cold.

They were having breakfast silently admiring the nature, there was silence again between them but this time it was more comfortable n peaceful.
Shehnaaz started a conversation after sometime
Shehnaaz:Soooo, where were u posted before this??
Sid:Dehradun, for how long have u been posted in Chennai now??
Shehnaaz:4 months

Then they again kept silent not knowing how to continue the convo, after sometime they were done with breakfast, they stood up n went to the kitchen n washed their plates, after that they again sat in the balcony area waiting for their colleagues to get ready, they saw some of them going around the villa getting ready.

Sid:uhhh
Shehnaaz looked at him
Sid:so who all r there in ur family??
Shehnaaz looked at him confused, where did that come from, nit that she minded the question
Sid:no I mean just casually asking...
Shehnaaz:oh of course, so there's my parents, my elder brother n sister in law, two cute nieces n a younger sister.
Sid:oh wow, neices... Haaaaa.... Even I'm gonna be welcoming a neice/nephew soon.... My bhabhi (sister in law) is pregnant na
Shehnaaz:eyyyy that's great, congratulations, who all r there in ur family
Sid:my parents, my brother n sister I  law n soon to chotu baby
He said the last part cutely making shehnaaz adore him with a smile.
They continued talking with eo about their families, their previous missions, their training days n lots more, they finally got really comfortable with eo n infact more comfortable than the rest of the gang.

Ayesha came to the balcony side n said
Ayesha:guys come we're all ready, gotta leave
They looked at the time n saw it was 11:30, they were surprised at how fast the time went by with eo.

The gang gathered at the living room n discussed the plan once again, it was decided that they'll go in different directions for the day, all 8 in 8 different locations.

They set off in local vehicles for their given location n started their work, they asked people, they worked on the information provided by the intel, searched in some locations for the possibility of a terrorists presence.

Precap:A terrorist found?? SidNaaz n gang working vigorously?? Sidnaaz bond growing stronger??
