Shehnaaz stood from the couch and was about to walk out of the room when sidharth , sitting at his place, interrupted her sudden movement.

Miss shehnaaz, I would suggest you not make any decisions in a hurry. Let's talk, "he suggested.

Shehnaaz turned around to meet his gaze and replied to him, "But there is nothing left to talk about. I don't think I am suitable for this job and it's my final decision."

"That's completely fine, Miss shehnaaz. The decision should be entirely yours. And you can do as you please. But can you have a cup of tea with me at least? " Sidharth smiled at her and put forth a decent request before her.

Shehnaaz was confused and she had some obvious reasons for doing so. She wondered why sidharth was trying to restrain her from going even after she had declined his offer.

He had asked to have tea in such a polite and cute manner that it was irresistible for anyone to refuse. Shehnaaz had observed that he looked very adorable when he smiled, and the reason behind it was his dimples. Shehnaaz could not decline the offer and get back to her seat.

Sidharth got up and walked towards the table beside the refrigerator and turned on the electric kettle. Meanwhile, shehnaaz was utilising the time to stare at the most charming man standing before her. His charm was so compelling that any girl could fall for him at first sight. Taking into consideration his luxurious lifestyle, this man appeared to be rich and successful, along with his good looks.

The first question that came to her mind was, "Why is a man like this single?" And most importantly, why did he choose surrogacy as a procedure to have kids?

Any girl in the world would happily get married to him and give birth to his children. Then why was he looking for a girl who would take up the job of a surrogate for him?

While shehnaaz was immersed in her thoughts, sidharth brought to her the kettle and two cups in a serving tray. Shehnaaz was confused to see a rich guy like sidharth doing the chore without any hesitation. "He could have ordered room service," she thought. " Maybe he does not want any disturbance," shehnaaz concluded.

He kept the tray on the table and sat down on the sofa. Shehnaaz saw that there were some pouches on the tray.

As he poured the tea into the cup shehnaaz noticed it to be black tea. It was way too weird for shehnaaz to experience all of this. She had always seen such visuals in movies where people ask "how many spoons of sugar do you prefer ?..etc"

Sidharth tore open the packet of milk powder and poured it into the cup.

"How much sugar?" he asked softly.

Her lips curled into a smile as she replied to him in a timid voice, "1 spoon please."

He then poured sugar into shehnaaz's cup. Thereafter, he handed over the cup of tea to shehnaaz and asked a question simultaneously. "By the way, Miss shehnaaz, you live here in a hostel, right? May I ask where you are originally from?"

Shehnaaz held the cup in her hands and replied, "I am a native of Minnesota."

She took a sip of tea and realised that she had never tasted tea worse than this.

How many members are there in your family? Sidharth raised her next question to shehnaaz.

It was almost impossible for shehnaaz to gulp the tea but she managed somehow and replied to his question, "Me, Dad, Mom, a younger sister, and an elder sister ."

For a while, sidharth did not ask any questions, and the atmosphere was silent. In the meantime, they finished their tea.

Shehnaaz was done with the tea and she stood from the couch placing the cup on the table. She was geared up to leave the room.
