Sidharth: Why are you so silent ?

Apparently Sidharth was driving with Shehnaaz towards the tiger's leap which was one of the prime tourist attraction in Lonavla. The whole place is so beautiful and the reason is nature!

Ever thought why people of Mumbai travel to Lonavla during weekends ?

Well there are many reasons for that, firstly there is less pollution in Lonavla comparatively to Mumbai so the air is cleaner for breathing. Other than that the tourist spots are the centre of attraction for the visitors.

You can say that Lonavla is one of the most visited places during rains. Yes we all love "Mumbai ki baarish" but the nature is more lively in Lonavla which is a soothing sight to everyone's eyes.

Here Shehnaaz was in her zone before Sidharth screamed in her ear breaking her train of thoughts.

Sidharth: Shehnaaz!

Shehnaaz: Yeah yeah, why are you screaming ? I'm right next to you.

Sidharth: I called you almost three times but you didn't listen so I had to use another way.

Shehnaaz: Whatever!

Shehnaaz scrunched her nose which made Sidharth want to pull it but he didn't. She was finally opening up what if a slight bit of mistake messes up everything ? No no, it's better not to cross line than regret later.

Sidharth: So why are you so quite ? I thought you enjoy going on drives. Even you sang with me when we were coming so what happened now ?

Shehnaaz moved and straightened herself to start speaking.

Shehnaaz: Well I have never been in Lonavla.

Sidharth turned his face shockingly to look at her without realising he was driving.

Shehnaaz: Hey! Look on the road.

Sidharth: Sorry sorry I just couldn't digest what you just said. Wait, you have been staying in Mumbai since you were like nine isn't it ?

Shehnaaz nodded.

Sidharth: Then how come you never visited Lonavla before ? What were you doing for 12 years ?

Shehnaaz: Well that's true I stay in Mumbai since a very long time but I didn't like hanging out much. Once I have been to a party and something happend which made me go nowhere.

Sidharth looked at her thinking it must be something serious as it was all over her face that the experience wasn't good.

Sidharth: What happened ?

Shehnaaz was playing with her fingers while looking down. She let out a deep breath before starting.

Shehnaaz: Well.

Flashback.
It was when Shruti turned 18 and decided to throw a party at a nearby club and Shehnaaz being not a fan of partying was constantly denying to go.

Shruti: Shanu I won't go to the party without you.

Shehnaaz: Try to understand Shruti it's out of my comfort zone and most importantly I'm 17.

Shruti: Shehnaaz we aren't going to drink and the club is one of papa's friend. He only asked me to held the celebration there. Come on Shanu it won't make you uncomfortable I'm telling you.

Shehnaaz: Shruti please I can't. There will be a lot of people out there so you won't even need me. Also I'm not comfortable around lot of people.
