Shehnaaz, a scholarship student, is focused on her studies and doesn't want to get entangled in the games of the rich and privileged. She's seen how they operate and doesn't want to become a pawn in their manipulations.

On the other hand, Sidharth, determined to win her over, starts making plans to make Shehnaaz fall for him. He begins by trying to impress her with his wealth and status, but Shehnaaz remains unimpressed.

Undeterred, Sidharth changes his strategy, trying to show her his more vulnerable side, sharing stories about his past and his passions. He's determined to break down her defenses and win her heart.

But Shehnaaz is cautious, sensing that Sidharth's intentions may not be genuine. She keeps him at arm's length, refusing to let her guard down.

As the cat-and-mouse game continues, Shehnaaz finds herself increasingly drawn to Sidharth's charming and charismatic persona. But she's still unsure if she can trust him, and if his feelings are truly genuine.

..........................

The sun-kissed hills of Dehradun bore witness to the most anticipated event of the season - the high-profile party organized by Sidharth's family. The who's who of the town's elite had gathered at the opulent venue, their designer attire and glittering jewels a testament to their status.

Sidharth, the dashing young host, had personally invited Shehnaaz and her friends to join the revelry. But Shehnaaz, still wary of Sidharth's intentions, had politely declined the invitation.

"Sana, come on! It'll be fun, I promise!" Sidharth cajoled, his bright blue eyes sparkling with persuasion.

But Shehnaaz remained unmoved. "I don't think so, Sidharth. I'm not interested in your party or your games."

Sidharth's smile faltered for a moment before he rebounded with a charming grin. "Ah, I see. You think I'm a bad boy, don't you? But let me tell you, Sana, I'm not all about parties and pranks. I want to show you that I can be a good friend, too. Just give me one chance, please?"

Shehnaaz raised an eyebrow, intrigued despite herself. "What makes you think I'd be interested in being friends with you, Sidharth?"

Sidharth took a step closer, his voice dropping to a gentle pitch. "Because, Sana, I know we have a connection. I've seen the way you look at me, and I think we could be great together. Not romantically, just as friends. I promise to be on my best behavior and show you a side of me that no one else gets to see."

....... ..  . ...  . ..  ..... ......

Shehnaaz's friends, Taanya and Rhea, surrounded her, their eyes shining with excitement. "Come on, Sana! We know we've told you about Sidharth's reputation, but this party is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity! It's the most iconic event in Dehradun, and every middle-class person dreams of attending it. You can't miss it!"

Shehnaaz hesitated, her mind racing with conflicting thoughts. She had always been wary of Sidharth's charm and the rumors surrounding him, but her friends' enthusiasm was infectious.

"Please, Sana, say yes!" Taanya urged, tugging on Shehnaaz's arm. "We'll be with you the whole time. It'll be fun, we promise!"

Rhea nodded in agreement. "We'll make sure you're safe, Sana. We won't let Sidharth or anyone else bother you. Come on, it'll be an adventure!"

Shehnaaz took a deep breath and relented, her friends' persistence wearing down her defenses. "Okay, fine. I'll come to the party, but just for a few hours, and only because I don't want to disappoint you guys."

.......................          .....           

As the party night unfolded, Samir whispered to Sidharth, "Dude, you actually did it! Sana's here, and she looks stunning!"

Sidharth's eyes scanned the room, his gaze locking onto Shehnaaz and her friends. "Ah, yeah! I knew she couldn't resist the charm of Dehradun's most eligible bachelor!"

Samir raised an eyebrow. "You think she's interested in your high-profile life, Sid? I thought she was different from the others."

Sidharth chuckled. "Oh, she is, my friend! But everyone has a weakness, and I'm just exploiting hers. Besides,

As they approached Shehnaaz and her friends, Sidharth transformed into the perfect gentleman. "Sana, you look absolutely breathtaking! I'm so glad you could make it. How are you finding the place? Is everything to your liking?"

Shehnaaz smiled graciously, her eyes sparkling in the dim light. "Thank you, Sidharth. Your family's estate is stunning. We're having a great time."

Sidharth beamed with pride. "I'm so glad to hear that! I want to make sure you feel comfortable and have an amazing time. Can I get you a drink or show you around?"

As Sidharth played the perfect host, Shehnaaz couldn't help but feel a little charmed by his attentiveness. Maybe, just maybe, she had misjudged him. But only time would tell if his charm was genuine or just a clever act.

.....As the night wore on, Sidharth asked Shehnaaz to dance, and they glided across the floor, their chemistry palpable. Amyra, watching from the sidelines, grew increasingly jealous, her eyes flashing with anger.

She hatched a plan, whispering to her friend, "Spike Sana's drink, I want to see her lose control."

Amyra's friend hesitated, but Amyra's persuasive tone won out. They snuck into the kitchen, adding a substance to Shehnaaz's drink.

As Shehnaaz sipped her drink, she began to feel dizzy and disoriented. Amyra's friend took her by the arm, leading her away from the dance floor.

"I'll take care of her," Amyra said, her voice dripping with malice. "You just make sure Sidharth doesn't notice."

Amyra dragged Shehnaaz to a secluded room, locking the door behind them. Shehnaaz stumbled, her vision blurring.

Meanwhile, Sidharth searched for Shehnaaz, his eyes scanning the crowd. "Where's Sana?" he asked Samir, his voice tinged with concern.

Samir shrugged. "I thought she was with you, dude."

Sidharth's face darkened. "I haven't seen her in a while. Something's not right."

He began to search the premises, his heart racing with worry. Where was Shehnaaz?
