Sid: Are you pranking bhai?
Abhi (smiling like idiot): You got to know.

He smirk looking at Sid. Just then buddies and Abhi's phone beeped. They saw message on group of brothers.

Darshan: You fooled mom dad saying prank but you can't fool me. Spit what is it?
Sid (replied): Nothing bhai.
Darshan: After breakfast meet in my room.
Sid: Okay!
Darshan: You two also.

They kept phone Side and had breakfast silently. After breakfast in Darshan's room brothers went.

Darshan (smirk): Abhi how you got to know he is going for date?
Abhi: Vaish told me.
Sid: Fine! I am telling you guys. I like Avneet. So for today I asked her out for coffee.
Darshan: Ohh!! Great.
Abhi (rolling his eyes): Date par black commandos aayege. Huh!
Sidoo (smirk): You planned date?
Abhi: Yeah! Twice. Black commandos came with her. So we canceled.
Darshan: Hmm!! I have idea. Ask Avneet to come to city library. Black commandos aren't allowed to enter inside. She can come alone and exit from back door. You be at back door and pick her from there.
Sidoo: Woho! You had done this?
Darshan: Yeah! As we are Celebrities this was only way he used hide from bodyguards when used to go in city for date.
Sid: But she will directly come at Starbucks.
Sidoo (laughing): Popat Darsh bhai ka.

Abhi, Sid too joined him. Darshan walked out, rolling his eyes.

Skips to evening. At Starbucks. Sid reached by 7. He entered inside with his face covered with mask. Looking around he found empty and behind pillar seat.

Sid's pov: Here we can sit and hide from public too.

He went and sat. After few minutes. Avneet too came there. They greet each other and gave order.

Avu: So any specific reason to call me here?
Sid: Yes! Actually umm.....
Sid: Avneet see I don't like to beat around the Bush. So I am coming straight to point. I like you umm.... I don't know if it's love or mere crush. So I want to ask you if we can give chance to each other and spend sometime with each other.
Avu: Hmm....
Sid: But first do you feel anything for me?

Avu nodded in no with pout. Just then order arrived.

Sid (mumble): Gaya mera chance.

Though he mumble but Avu heard it. She burst out laughing.

Sid (rolling his eyes): Ek to blush kar nahin rahi upar se has rahi ho masoom par.
Avu (pulling sid's cheek): Aww!! Cutie.
Sid (mimicking avu): Aww! cutie.
Avu (pout): I have to blush?

Sid nodded with pout. They looked at each other and burst out laughing.

Avu (controlling her laugh): Let's come to main point. See Siddharth I always enjoy your company and also feel comfortable around you. We are good friends as well. We can give chance.
Sid: So you are Okay with it?
Avu: Yeah! But one condition. What ever will be our outcome. This shouldn't affect di and Jijju's life.
Sid (pout): True! But you only told bhabhi. I was planning to keep it secret. Huh!
Avu: Huh! How come I know this? I thought you told your brothers.
Sid: Anyways now we need to be careful. Parents shouldn't get to know about it.

Avu nodded. Just then her phone rang.

Avu (declining call): Sid I need to leave. Dad is calling.
Sid (confused): Uncle don't know you came to meet me?
Avu: No! If I told dad, he would ask a lot of questions.
Sid: Oh yeah! Alright. We will talk on call. You can go.
Avu: Yeah! I guess we discussed main points.
Sid: Yeah!
Avu: Great! Bye.
Sid (hug her): Bye!

Avu hug him back. It's not first time they hug each other but today they have different feeling. It's not love. It's about new step they are gonna take. Maybe it's too simple for some but for some it's very important decision of life.

After bidding bye. They both left but not before covering faces.
