Author's POV:

After a joyful weekend with Adil and his family, Danish and Afsha were packing their things to go to the Danish's parent house, and from there they will be leaving for Hyderabad. Meanwhile, Saniya in her room was hugging a pillow and sobbing silently so that no one could hear her. She was successful in diverting her mind these three days, but the reality is how much we force a topic to be forgotten. Our brain enforces all its energy to remember each and everything as if picturizing in front of our eyes. Sensing the absence of his sister, Adil marches towards Saniya's room, checking for her.

Hearing the knock, Saniya quickly wipes her tears and opens the door, seeing her worried brother, her tears crash disowning her own will, and in cue, Adil hugs her.

"Saanu, it's ok, things happen; please don't cry. I am here, right, and I will make sure that nothing happens to you. You trust your bhai, right?" Adil was cooing Saniya and comforting her by rubbing her back.

"Bhai, if anything happens, Baba can't handle it, and Chachu will be disappointed in me; I have betrayed his trust." Saniya sobs again.

"No, Bacha, you haven't betrayed anyone, and regarding BadePapa, I will make sure that he will never know about it." Adil convinces and wipes the tears of Saniya.

Adil makes her sit on the bed and holds her hands in both of his hands. "Listen to me, Saniya, you are a strong and confident girl; making boundaries and fighting for them do not make you any weaker. Instead, I am proud of you; you have chosen the field, breaking the stereotypes, stood strong without betraying the faith of anyone, and set an example to all the girls that modeling is beyond exposing, and now, after coming to this stage, why are you feeling demotivated for few bastards?" Adil uplifts Saniya by flashing her own struggles and strengths, which were needed, and who can cheer her other than her big brother, who was there for her in each and every moment like an own sibling, who would say that they are cousins but not siblings? They have been each other's strength and have protected each other since childhood. The same thing happened on that day.

Flashback starts - 2 days back

The day - Danish arrived to India

Saniya received a call from Set stating the preparation of her shoot and confirming the schedule from the assistant director before she leaves for the shoot.

"Cut," the director shouts, indicating completion of the first ramp walk and shoot in one outfit. Saniya moves to her vanity and changes into her comfortable dress as the next shoot is after the lunch, she offers the namaz and sits to have lunch.

As she starts to eat her first bite, one of the crew ladies arrives and shows her the outfit for the next shoot.

It was a sleek black backless long sleeves bodycon dress with a dangerously high slit till the upper thigh on the right side.

Seeing the outfit, Saniya gets up in shock. "What is this? and who has sent this?"

"Ma'am, this is your outfit for the next scene, and Abhishek (the assistant director) sir has sent it," the lady frightens and answers the question. Frustrated, Saniya takes the dress from the lady's hand and marches out of the van to the AD, Abhishek.
