Aaaaaahhhhhhh... Ammmmmaaaaaaa....

Sidharth startled in his slumber when he heard a lady cry loudly. He turned on the light and ran outside his room towards the direction from where he could hear the shrieks travel.

Iravati, who was also on her way out and was also going in the same direction, followed him. The shrieks were coming from the kitchen where the lights were already on.

"Kaun he waha?", he yelled while entering the kitchen. He bumped into Shehnaaz's back who was standing at the door. Shehnaaz stumbled and Sidharth quickly grabbed her by her waist to save her from falling.

"Ke hua Shehnaaz?", he asked holding her by her arms and studying her from top to bottom to see where she was hurt. Shehnaaz looked into his eyes. His eyes had the same concern in them that she had found in the video where he had saved her from smoke and fire earlier.

"Huh?", Iravati gasped looking at the two standing so close.

"Thaakur.. usko kuch na hua.. manne bachaao..", he heard the voice from behind. He left Shehnaaz's arm to turn around and saw Kalyani sitting on the floor.

"Kalyani? Ke hua?", Iravati rushed to her side and looked at her curiously.

"Amma, yeh chhorri manne marna chahe se..", Kalyani cried pointing at Shehnaaz.

"Ke?", Sidharth looked at Shehnaaz in shock, who shrugged her arms blinked clueless.

"Hua ke Kalyani?", Iravati asks

Flashback:

Kalyani's stomach grumbled due to hunger as she lay in her bed.

Arrrghhh.. josh mein aake manne woh sehri khanna khaane se mana kar diya.. ib bhook ke maahra pet mein dard ho raha se..

She turned and tossed in her bed and found the hunger to be unbearable. Moreover, she was reminded how tempting the pizza looked when Shehnaaz was serving it to Iravati and Sidharth. She tip-toed and slowly opened the door to see outside. There were no lights which meant that everyone was sleeping already and the coast was clear. She stepped out and walked in the dark towards the kitchen.

She felt something under her feet as she stepped and flinched when she saw two glowing eyes.

"Mmmmeooww..", the cat screamed and jumped away.

"Hushhh..shhhooo..", she whisper yelled to the cat to shoo away.

She then proceeded to walk into the kitchen. Unlike other parts of the house, the kitchen was dimly lit. All thanks to the little lamp that was still burning in the little temple altar that was placed in the kitchen. She started looking for food to calm her aching belly - Pizza to be specific.

Finally she found it in the box and quickly opened it. Even in that dingy kitchen, the pizza looked clear due to the white cheese. Her eyes shined looking at the tempting pizza so she quickly grabbed onto a piece of pizza and dug into it. She had hardly taken a few bites when the lights went on and she found Shehnaaz standing at the kitchen door. Embarrassment was all written over Kalyani's face, when she looked at her and swallowed the pizza in her mouth.

"Arey, yeh kya kar rahi ho? Tumne toh kaha tha ki tumhe pizza nahi khaana..", Shehnaaz asked in a mocking way.

"Maahri marji.. Thaara khaa rahi hoon ke? Maahre hone waale marad khaa rahi hoon.",Kalyani barked. How could she give up to her arch rival?

Without her knowledge, Shehnaaz was irked at the final statement.

"Haan! Mera hi khaa rahi hai. Yeh pizza maine jeeta tha, apne GGSC ke show ke contest mein. Toh yeh mera hi hai..", Shehnaaz came back. Kalyani's eyes widened on the new information but still she couldn't give up.
