MOUNT STREET, MAYFAIR
5:00PM

Earlier, Faraz told sidharth to stop at Dior outlet as it was the first high end outlet of the street. After reaching there, faraz asked Shehnaaz who was busy in her phone, You want to stop here or we should skip? "

"Go ahead. I will stop you when it needed. "Shehnaaz replied from backseat disconnecting her EarPods as it needed to be charged.

"Hayat what about you?" faraz asked hayat who was leaning on her best friend's shoulder tiredly. Sidharth looked at Shehnaaz throw the view mirror and saw a peaceful face with normal expression which had him wrapped around her tiny fingers in this short time. He couldn't about anything except her.

"No, you go ahead. " she replied half asleep on Shehnaaz's shoulder . Faraz signalled sidharth to go ahead and stop wherever he wanted but sidharth didn't drive off. He was still looking at Shehnaaz with a smile.

"Sidharth? Tu sun raha hai " Faraz called him little loudly to get his attention which broke Hayat's nap.
She looked between the boys to figure out what happened but couldn't understand anything. Shehnaaz was quietly sitting there with closed eyes. She was really tired after her long journey from Islamabad to London. She didn't acknowledge anything happening around her.

Sidharth's attention moved from her when she leaned a bit more against the seat to sit comfortably. Sidharth started the engine and drove off in below average speed. He noticed the couple presented in the car eyeing him weirdly with questioning gaze. He understood what were they trying to figure out.

Hayat and faraz shared a strange look with each other eyeing Sidharth suspiciously who shrugged of his shoulder.

Suddenly shehnaaz shouted, " Stop "
making Sidharth worried. If she had seen any nightmare or it was some kind of anxiety which hit her in her sleep.

He immediately stopped the car to find out what happened to her and why she screamed loudly.

Actually shehnaaz was so much distracted in her nap that she couldn't notice her favorite outlet which they passed long ago.

She hurriedly got out of car making Sidharth confuse as he couldn't process the thing running in Shehnaaz's mind .

"What happened to her? " looking at Faraz and Hayat he asked confusingly.

Faraz and hayat gave him suspicious looks. He was acting weird from the time he met shehnaaz and now invading in Shehnaaz's matter which Sidharth Khan would never do in someone's wildest dream.

"What's wrong with you today? Why are you so worried about her? " faraz asked getting out of car and stared at his friend keeping hand on his hip to look intimidating.

"Nothing. It's just she is new here. What if she get lost somewhere? " sidharth tried to sound obvious and logical, but he sounded ridiculous to faraz and here he lost the battle of logic

"There is something fishy. " hayat whispered in Faraz's ear who nodded in positive and gave her look of ' I will find out anyhow '.

"Do you guys want to go with me? " shehnaaz asked coming out of the shop when she noticed that she had left behind everyone and went inside in a daze of excitement.

"Obviously I am accompanying you, sweety." hayat said grabbing her hand hurriedly and dragging her back into CELINE outlet.

" she is so carefree. " Sidharth stated looking at Shehnaaz with soft look and small smile which was rare for him.

"Around 2 hours ago you said me that you fell for someone and now you are lusting over Hayat's best friend what the fuck you..."faraz stopped in middle noticing Sidharth's hard and cold expression. It will definitely burn you soul if you notice his glaring eyes. It would snatch your peaceful sleep thinking of the cold eyes of that neurology professor.

After sometime Sidharth said softening his expression, "She is the one. " making faraz confused. What the fuck his friend was talking about!

"What? " Faraz didn't held back to him but asked in pixilated tone.

Sidharth didn't care to reply him and found it more interesting to stare Shehnaaz shopping happily trying exclusive bags and jewelleries.

"Wait wait you are saying that you have fallen in love with Shehnaaz. " Faraz said connecting the dots and hints which was floating around him for hours.

"Hmmm maybe........ " Sidharth confirmed him making him hit his head with car's bonet.

"It could be mere attraction also." Faraz stated the most obvious fact. Love never happens at once. It makes people fall gradually and deeply.

"No faraz. It's completely a different feeling." Sidharth said calmly staring her from distance. Her happy face calms his soul and tell him to do things which would made her happy.

"But Sidharth please don't confess it now. Be sure first. " Faraz suggested worriedly. Sidharth was new in dating and all. One the other hand, shehnaaz was the hardset one to deal with. She was the apple of everyone's eyes. She could even demand the brightest star of sky and her family needed to get her that . It would be hardest for Sidharth to get her heart all for himself.

"Hmmm. I will take little time to figure out and explore these feelings. Also will try to know about her." Sidharth said shifting attention to Faraz to absorb all the relationship advises he could provide him with.

"And don't give her any hint. "Faraz advised knowing how clever she was. She would definitely find out anyhow if he would give hint.

"Don't worry. I will be careful about it. " sidharth assured him unsure if he could keep his eyes to himself not checking her out.

"Both of you better help me to know about her . " he added with serious expression on his face. He sometimes acts like kids, but most of the time he is the expressionless cold guy who never looked back at any girl.

"Yeah sure. Anything for you buddy. " Faraz assured him while hugging him tightly.
