Shehnaaz was ignoring him since yesterday, after her outburst, she locked herself in a room and denied to have any kind of talk with him. He tried, tried his best to console her, talk to her but she was adamant on not talking to him.
Next morning, Sidharth got up and found a note on side table along with his breakfast. Last night, giving her space, he slept in the hall, on the couch.
"I'm leaving for college. I have cooked breakfast for you, have it. And please smile, you don't look good with that grumpy-grandpa-look."
He read the note loud, couldn't help but smile. No matter what rough phase they are facing in their relationship, she can never stop caring for him. Sidharth kissed the note written by her, before he moved inside their bedroom and got ready after taking a bath, then he had his breakfast and left for his office.

"Neetu, I don't have any dress to wear tonight. Lets go for shopping-" Shehnaaz made a puppy face, to melt her. Neetu was reluctant but agreed.
"Urgh! Okay! it's hard to ignore that face, you know that, don't you, little devil?" Neetu groaned, making her giggle at her expressions.
"But we have a lecture left to attend-" Shehnaaz mumbled sadly.
"Lets bunk. Even I'm not in mood to study today" Neetu suggested. Shehnaaz nodded, agreeing with her. They collect their stuff and moved out of the classroom.
In half an hour, they reached the nearest mall. They both went inside the shop, to select a perfect dress for you. They were looking through the dresses when a voiced interrupted them from behind. They both turned around, shehnaaz's brows knitted in confusion when she saw an unknown girl there.
"Neetu! Happy birthday, sweetheart."The girl squealed, she hugged neetu while Neetu rolled her eyes and broke the hug.
"Neetu, what are you doing here? And who is she?" She asked, eying shehnaaz with curiosity, Shehnaaz shifted uncomfortably in her place. The girl was looking at her like she already know her.
"We are here for shopping, and she is shehnaaz, my best friend." Neetu introduced her to shehnaaz. Shehnaaz look at the girl, who was looking at her with little evil glint in her eyes, it confused her. Shehnaaz brushed her thoughts aside, thinking may be she is being too suspicious.
"Oh-kay! You girls continue. I'm leaving, will meet you tonight in party." She says, she gave a quick hug to Neetu and left from there but her eyes were fixed on shehnaaz.
"That girl was weird. Who is she?" Shehnaaz couldn't help but ask her.
"She is Shefali Jariwala, my dad's childhood friend's daughter and she is also my brother's friend." Neetu told her.
She was weird. I was getting negative vibes off her." Shehnaaz mumbled, remembering the way she was looking at her, like she knows something about her.
"Neither do i. You know, she is after my brother, she doesn't even care that he is happily married. She always try to go close to him and bhai is not even aware of her intentions." Neetu disclosed, it was something which she knows, even her family think of shefali to be a perfect girl and treat her like their own which infuriate alot.
"Acha leave that, lets search something there-" Neetu changed the topic and dragged her on the other side of the store, where they finally found perfect dress for her.
"I'm leaving for home, Neetu. Will meet you directly in the party." Shehnaaz told her as they exit the mall.
"Come, I'll drop you home-"
