Gone just like that. It has been the most difficult three years for Shehnaz. Her happiness.. her jaan went far far away on a new journey. She was not herself anymore. Lifeless. She has to move on. She knew it. But every time she tried to force a smile for the camera, she felt a sharp pain across her chest.. a flashback of Sidharth.. his sleepy face.. childlike smile. Gazing at her while lying on their bed.
Flashbacks... She tries to close her eyes tightly, her hands travels to her chest. Mereko move on karni hai. I can't continue like this.. I...shaadi bhi karegi aur.... She recollects what Rita ma said.
"Sana, beta you have a full life ahead of you. Sidharth bohot kush honge if you live it to the fullest. You deserve all the happiness. You will get married, you will become a mother.." Sidharth you taught me everything. How to be strong. But you never taught me how to live without you.I will get along till it's time for me..

London, UK
Shehnaaz's movie with Gurnam got wrapped. She was shooting at several locations in London for straight 6 weeks. Now finally she has time to visit her cousins Kiran and Dilpreet, aunty and uncle in Wales. She will stay with them for one more week and then return to India. Her crew flew back home yesterday.

Sana packs some clothes. It's almost 12 pm. She's waiting for Kiran. They are going to travel by train.

She opens Instagram and check Sidharth's profile. A tear escapes.. her heart becomes heavy.. It's too painful.
She decides to check the DMs. Suddenly a message from K, a well known actor.

"Hi Sana, how are you doing? You know what I'm in London right now.
Is it too much for me ask you out for a COFFEE date? Please say Yes🙇🏽‍♂️🤞🏼"

Sana bites her lip, K was her crush but that was before... before Sidharth. So she decides to ignore.

The doorbell rings. It's Kiran. Finally. They decide to leave soon as the train will take off at 1 pm. They will reach Wales by 3.30.

Wales, UK
It's past 3.30 pm when they reach Wales. Dilpreet is there to pick them up.
"Diii so good to see you!!!!" She hugs Sana.

They get in to the car.

"May be we should grab coffee first" says Kiran.
They stop by Starbucks to get coffee.
It's the month of April and the weather is chilled. When she gets down from the car, Shehnaaz feels the cold breeze against her face...

Just when she enters, a guy walks past her going out. Kiran and Dilpreet are already at the counter..
Sana feels strange.. like she saw someone she knew. She turns back to take a proper glance. She's stunned.
The vibrations, energy she felt... He's just a few feet away... at the door facing the road, probably trying to call a taxi.. Her heart beat quickens.. It feels like it has happened before also. A dejavu kind of feeling. The height, the posture, hair looks so familiar and she walks to him without thinking.. like in a dream.. and touches his shoulder...

The man turns. He's wearing a cap, half hiding his eyes.. and wearing a mask.. but the features are visible.. stubble covering his face.. He adjust the cap to take a glance at her...
Their eyes meet for the first time.. after years. Exactly after 3 and half years.. Shehnaaz feels her head spinning. She can't breath. "Sidhaaaarth" she mumbles. Everything gets blurred and she feels... the FAMILIAR ARMS wrap around her.

Some people cannot be diminished so easily... Sometimes people are not really gone.. There's a chance, that 0.01% chance they are there somewhere in THIS world.

Guys I'm a little confused if I should keep writing on this storyline.. Because the background is not like 100% fictional. Do let me know your thoughts 🤍
