It was Sidharth's Birthday tomorrow. His family prepared for a small party at home, Sajia was responsible to invite his friends. It was night when Sidharth and Shehnaaz were sitting together in Shehnaaz's balcony while sipping coffee. It was 11:30 and Shehnaaz was waiting for midnight to be the first one to wish him.
Sidharth: Aaj itni shant kyu ho? Aur kya baar baar mobile dekh rahi ho? itni raat ko you waiting for a call?
Shehnaaz fumbled finding excuse: Arey nahi, sale hai to countdown chal raha hai. Time pe order nahi kiya to stock out ho jata hai.
Sidharth faked annoyance: Shopping se important kuch bhi nahi hai naa.
Shehnaaz: Hai naa, Aap ho jyada important. Sidharth stuck his tongue to the side of his lips to hide his blush. 'Chal, kuch bhi bolti rehti hai'. She wrapped her hands around his arm and put her head on his shoulder. Though they didn't confess but they both knew eo feelings, what they had didn't need words. Finally, it was 12 and Shehnaaz shouted 'Happy Birthday!!'. He was surprised as he had forgotten his B'day; 'Thank you, so iss sale ki wait kar rahi thi tum 😊'. She nodded and gave him his gift; it was a watch. He smiled and mouthed 'Thank you'.
Naaz: Aapko gift accha nahi laga 😞
Sidharth: Accha hai, Baba. (he smiled sheepishly) Waise can I ask for something as my gift?
'Sure' replied Shehnaaz and immediately Siddharth pecked her lips. 'Can I get this as my gift?'. She bit her lower lip to control her smile and simply closed her eyes giving him approval. He pulled her near and kissed her passionately. She felt jitters in her body as soon as his lips touched hers, her heart was thumping loudly. Unaware of what to do she let him kiss her; 'Kiss me back, baby' said Sidharth. She tried replicating Sidharth; he smiled in kiss, seeing her inexperience. He pulled out and said 'God, you are so cute'. She really was looking adorable and hot with her flushed cheeks and swollen pink lips. 'How can you make me loose control without doing anything' and again pulled her in for another kiss.
Sajia and Sadiq entered his room quietly with a cake to surprise him, but found his room empty. Sajia moved to balcony in attempt to find him but he was not there, when her eyes fell on Shehnaaz's balcony where she caught them in their act🙈. She quietly stepped back and asked Sadiq to place the cake on the table. 'Kya hua??' asked Sadiq. 'Lets go, bhai will celebrate with us tomorrow' she told him and pulled him out of the room leaving behind a note next to cake.
'Happy Birthday Bhai!! You can cut this cake with 'Bhabhi'. Sorry we had to leave as you were busy having your own sweet 😜'
Sidharth and Naaz parted after sometime, they both were breathless. He joined their foreheads, 'I love you, Naaz' he whispered. He said it finally, she smiled and hid herself in his chest to avert his intense gaze.

It was birthday evening and the garden was decorated with lights and candles, with sitting on the ground. There were only few friends who were joining the family for celebration. Rukhsana and Rudra were among those few friends who were invited. This was after a decade that Sidharth was with his family on his birthday.

Sidharth was busy entertaining his friends while Shehnaaz was talking to family. Sajia called Shehnaaz to join her (Sadiq and Sajia were sitting with friends as they knew almost everyone from hospital).
Rudra: Hello Shehnaaz, How are you? Tum hospital mein to nahi dikhti. bahut busy ho?
Sidharth immediately butt in: Kaam pe dhyan de Rudra, flirting ke liye salary nahi deta
Rudra: Bhai, jyada boss mat ban. Aur khud jo Rukhsana ke saath subah shaam laga rehta hai tab kuch nahi.
Sidharth was shocked, he never knew people thought of him and Rukhsana like that. He looked at Rudra with a frown but then felt an angry glare on him, of course it was Shehnaaz. He turned towards her but saw her leaving. 'I will be back' she said and moved inside the study. Sajia looked at Sidharth and slit her neck with her thumb, 'Dead' she mouthed. He too got up, 'I think Ammi is calling me, I will be back in sometime.' He too moved towards study; he saw Shehnaaz pacing angrily.
Sidharth: 'Naaz, Kuch bhi aisa nahi hai. Rudra is dumb. Don't mind him'. But Shehnaaz was not even sparing a glance at him. He pulled her by waist; she landed on him hitting his hard chest. He engulfed her into a tight hug. 'Sach keh raha hu, kuch nahi hai. Wo same department hai to baat jyada hoti hai. Jaise teri aur Dr. Sharma ki. Same Same' he said defending him. 'But koi nahi kehta humara chakkar chal raha hai Sharma Sir ke saath. Distance maintain karte hai hum' She shouted at him. 'Abey yaar, mujhe nahi pata tha sab aisi bakwaas kar rahe. Acha ab se main dur rahunga, sirf kaam ki baat. Aur iss Rudra ko to main abhi batata hu, Saala meri hi bandi ko line maar raha tha' He talked cutely to lower her anger. 'Aapko kasam hai humari, agar phir uske saath akele dikhe naa, to dono tange tod denge hum aapki' she threatened. He smiled at her angry face and pecked her pout 'Yes, Jaan'. 'Jaan' was enough to melt her; she smiled looking at him and grabbing the opportunity he asked 'Can I have my gift again?'; 'You are MINE' she declared and captured his lips. They were lost in the kiss, when they heard a knock on the door.
Unsure of who was on the door, Shehnaaz hid herself behind the bookcase. Sidharth corrected himself and opened the door to find Rukhsana. 'Hi Sid, I wanted to talk to you'. 'Sure go ahead' he said absent mindedly as all his concentration was on Naaz.
Rukhsana: We have known each other for a long time. And I have liked you since the first time we met 10 years ago....the more I got to know you, the more I liked you. I feel that our feelings are mutual and now that everyone has started gossiping about it. I think we should make it official.
He rubbed his palms on forehead due to frustration and was about to reply Rukhsana when Shehnaaz came out from her hiding with raised eyebrows. 'Congratulations Dr. Khan. I am happy for your 'NEW'...sorry 'not so new' Relationship' she said with a sarcastic smile and went out of the room irritated.
Sidharth: Rukhsana, I think you know the answer. I believe you also knew the person I like. I am sorry if I ever mislead you but you are nothing but a friend, so the feelings were never mutual. Now if you excuse me, I have a very angry girlfriend that I need to take care of.
Before Sidharth could go and manaofy his Jaan, Reesha called him for cake cutting. He cut the cake and fed it to his parents and siblings. He then went towards his phuphi but did not see Naaz by her side; she was standing in a corner behind everyone. After cake cutting, he went to her with a guilty expression but she was ignoring him. 'What have I done, Jaan. Tu mujhse gussa kyu hai? usne propose kiya, maine to reject hi kiya naa'.
Naaz: Aap to chup hi rahiye. Usko kaise laga that feeling is mutual, kuch to kiya hi hoga aapne.
Sidharth: Nahi wo sirf misunderstanding thi, please Naaz, tamasha mat karo.
Naaz: Yeh bhi khoob hai, chakkar khud chalao aur humko bolo ki tamasha mat karo. Aap jaiye apni non-tamasha GF ke paas. Aur humse to dur hi rahiye warna abhi sabke samne tamasha ho bhi jayega
Sidharth sensed the anger and knew it was not the right time. He left from there to prepare for a new battle, 'Life will be a rollercoaster, fun and adventures' he thought .
