She yawns.
"Go and sleep now."
"Tum nahi aaoge?"
"Kaam hai thoda baby. You go."
"Hmm.. are we going to that idiot's party tomorrow?"
"Do you want to?"
"Yes. Only to show him that I love you. Mun tod Dena hai us khote da."
"You don't need to show anything to him. But we will go. I have something for him to give."

Shehnaaz comes to him, "Are you going to punish him? Beat him up?"
"Right."
"No, you aren't beating him up. Koi Gift hai uske liye? Kaun sa gift? Bolo na."
"You were feeling sleepy a few seconds ago. "
She goes and again sits down on his lap.
"SR ji.. please tell me na.. I want to know. I think you will give him.. A live Bomb?"
"Shehnaaz. Kuch bhi haan? Utho aur jao sone.. "
She puts her arms around his neck and kisses him on his cheek.
"Tell me na."
"Shehnaaz, get up or.."

She presses her lips on his before he could complete his words. Sidharth pulls her away from him.
"Shehnaaz, stop it."
"Why? Why don't you share anything with me?"
"You don't need to know this. That's why. Now go."
She makes an angry face and stands up.
"Why? Answer me."
"Stop asking. Just go."
"I can't do that."
Sidharth stares at her, "Ditto."
Shehnaaz gazes at him for sometime and then mumbles, "I hate you."
She leaves after saying those words.

Sidharth enters the bedroom to find it empty. He looks around but doesn't find anywhere. He knows she hasn't left the mansion so she could be at one place. He takes the stairs and goes to the backyard. He opens the door to enter an indoor swimming pool. He finds her sitting beside the water with her feet dipped inside.

"I thought you hated water."
She doesn't turn.
"I am scared of water, I don't hate it."
"Right. You just hate me."
"Yes.... Can one die in a swimming pool?"
He raises his eyebrows, "You aren't allowed to die, remember? You are supposed to live and suffer with me."
She turns to face him, "I am not planning to die, just asked."
"Okay.. Good then... Are you planning to murder Sidharth Raichand then?"
"Ha ha! Yea right.."
She then continues, "You know what I want to do it right now. I want to drown him in this pool for pushing me away every f****g time, for not telling me anything. "

Sidharth removes his flip flops and folds his trousers. He goes and sits beside her, dipping his feet in the water. It feels good, a sense of calmness takes over him. He sits there quietly for a minute and then turns towards her.
"Sidharth Raichand would love to die in your hands."
She turns to see him. He finds an unusual smile on his face.
"Tere haatho se maut,
Hazar zindagi se khubsurat hogi.
Tujhe dekh iss duniya se chala jaun,
Yeh wajah hazar wajahon se behtar hogi.
Arey hum toh saans lete hai,
Ke aap ko roz dekh sake.
Gar aap hi mun mod len,
Jaan nikhal jaye toh koi khalish na hogi."

"Your SR ji totally deserves that. But I know swimming and swimming pools aren't that deep, so drowning isn't a good option. A gun can come handy. Want to try?"
She doesn't reply. He calls one of his men and asks for his gun. Taking it from him, he orders him to leave. She stares at him, as he unlocks it and places it by her side. He signals her to pick it up. After a little thought she picks it up and points it right at his face. Sidharth holds the top of the gun and with a smile, drags it to point at his chest.
"Here. Shoot me here. The place which screams your name must be silenced first."

"I will shoot you for real, Sidharth Raichand."
"I am waiting."
She gazes into his smiling eyes and throws the gun into the water.
"You shouldn't have dropped that into the water. Guns aren't cheap."
"Shut up! Just shut up!"
Tears fill her eyes as she holds his shirt.
"You are bad, gande ho tum. Devil hi ho tum."
"Say something I don't know."
"You.. "

Sidharth smiles and says, "What goes into Sidharth Raichand's mind is not easy to understand. There are things he wants you to keep away from, especially when it is about Ashmit."
"Why? For what I had with him? You know I have nothing for him."
"But he knows you well. He knows your weak spots. I don't want him to.."
"Manipulate me, like the last time."
She leaves his shirt and covers her face, sobbing profusely.
"Hey!"
"You are correct. I am stupid. Gadhi hun, isiliye he could play with my mind and I.. hurt you."
