Three Days Later

MANCHESTER

They reached their holiday destination around 9 in the morning. They took a road trip for the journey. They planned to have their breakfast in Manchester.
They reached there hotel 15 minutes earlier then the check in. So,now they are waiting in lobby of hotel ABode Manchester.

"excuse me. Can you please help us with a VIP suit with three bed room? " Faraz said politely to receptionist.

"Sure,sir. Here it is. " receptionist said in a professional tone forwarding the suit key.

"The key is here. Let's go." Faraz said coming towards them.

After reaching inside the suit,
Sidharth said pointing to the biggest bed room,
"It's mine. "
Then pointing to his next room, " Naaz

I mean Shehnaaz it's your." "and that's for you two. " pointing to the room of  opposite side

"It's unfair." Faraz exclaimed in irritation.

"I am taking this one you can take any of this. " Shehnaaz said looking at Sidharth and then walking into  the room Sidharth had chosen earlier.

"Now you have to carry with it. " Faraz said seeing Sidharth's surprised face.

"I am all ok with it. " saying this Sidharth walked into the next room of Shehnaaz

Sidharth was happy because for the first time Shehnaaz talked with him by her own. That made the  lover boy inside him smile.

After freshing up they all headed towards a well known restaurant in Manchester to have there breakfast.

MOOSE COFFEE

All settled on a table and started to check the menu.

"Pancakes with berries and a cup of mocha" Shehnaaz placed her order. Sidharth was listening her carefully to know her taste of food.

"Same." Sidharth said discovering the similarity in taste.

Hayat and Faraz ordered their favourite English breakfast

Shehnaaz raised her eyebrow to him and asked with rolled eyes " Why? "

"Because I think you know  quite well about things here and  I guess our tastes also match a lil bit " he said with smirk on his face.

"Hmmm " Shehnaaz just hummed in response not liking that smirky look of him. But she chose to keep silent.

After finishing their breakfast they headed to explore the city .
They visited
Manchester Art Gallery,  Manchester Cathedral,
Manchester Chinatown, Abraham Lincoln Statue,
The Whitworth and lastly  Alexandra Park.

Exploring the city for the whole day, they came back hotel by the evening.

Sidharth with the couple tiredly sat on the sofa with  thud and Shehnaaz went to make coffee for herself.

After sometime Hayat headed towards their room followed by a very tired Faraz. But stopped by Sidharth.
"Please make me a cup of coffee. My head is throbbing. " Sidharth said holding his head.

"Bhai please tu khud banale mujhse nahi hone wala ab. Main to chala sone. " saying Faraz disappeared hurriedly.

"Sala kamina dost. Koi apna hai hi nahi. " Sidharth cursed under his breath

"It may help you. Have it. " Shehnaaz said forwarding  a cup of black coffee.

"Ah you..." Sidharth was hesitating to take coffee.

"Don’t worry. I know how to make coffee and it’s a black one without sugar.  If you don't like then add some milk and sugar. I don’t know you taste but I  prefer black coffee that too sugarless . Thus I made this. It will help you to reduce headache. " Shehnaaz said placing the cup on table and settling
opposite Sidharth. She knowingly revealed her choice for him to know. But she doesn’t know why she does it.

"I also prefer black coffee. " Sidharth said taking coffee from table and looking at her with a small smile.

"Umm...I love the taste. I can guess you are  really a great cook as I heard. " Sidharth said sipping hot coffee

"And who told you  that?  " Shehnaaz asked sipping on her coffee and lifting one eyebrow to look intimidating.

"Faraz. Actually I heard him asking  Hayat to learn from you. " Sidharth cleared her doubt being conscious about her intimidating look as he thought this could hamper his image .

Shehnaaz just hummed.

"Naaz. " after finishing his coffee Sidharth called for her.
"Hmm. " Shehnaaz diverted her attention from her phone to him
"Invite me someday for a meal. " Sidharth started  the conversation again

"Umm..not bad. " Shehnaaz smirked

"What my suggestion? " Sidharth asked with a playful smile

"No. Your flirting skill. You use to do this with everyone or I say every girl.  " Shehnaaz asked playfully

But this made Sidharth a little conscious. So he immediately said, "no, it’s not like that what you are thinking. You can ask Hayat as well."

"Hey relax. I was just teasing you" Shehnaaz said giggling

"Ohhh. You can tease also. " Sidharth said giving her back
"Means? " Shehnaaz asked being confused.

"I thought you only talk with your close ones and  people use to tease there friend and close one only." Sidharth said

"Yeah. It’s true. " Shehnaaz said conforming him

"It means I am close to you.? " Sidharth asked for a positive answer

"Not like that. But you are close to Faraz bhai. So, I can probably  trust you. " Shehnaaz answered sitting comfortably on her seat

"Trust build in friends only."

"So?" She asked raising her eyebrow
"So friends? " he asked forwarding his hand for handshake

"Umm...I am too young to be your friend. " saying She shaked hand with Sidharth. Sidharth looked at her in confusion. Did she rejected him or accepted his friendship. He wondered.

"Ok. I am taking my leave now.Good night. " saying She walked away leaving a blushing Sidharth behind.
