Firstly, let me thank you all for giving so much love to this story of mine. I am glad that you guys are interested in this story. Thank you for all the votes and comments, thank you soooo very much.

Secondly, I am gonna answer a query that I read in the comment section; Arjun, Saanjh, Arzoo and Zaki are an important part of the story, so yes, they will have some scenes here and there. While I am showing Arjun's scenes a bit more as compared to other three (just because his break-up with Maya is fresh and he needs to realize what he just lost), Saanjh, on the other hand, will have minimal scenes, like a side character.

Zaki is going to be a positive character here and I will show his happily ever after too. About Arzoo, she will enter the story in the later chapters.

And thirdly, there are going to be new characters in the story, like Tarini Bose, that are going to be a part of this story because they are needed here. But of-course, Sahir and Maya are the main, the leading characters of the story so their scenes will be much more as compared to any other character or couple.

If you have any query then please let me know. Now, let's get back to the story.

****************

Tarini felt it in her bones. There was something going on between Sahir and Maya, she was sure of. But she didn't know what this something was. Something was different, there was a slight change in Sahir and Tarini was of opinion that this change was somehow related to Maya.

She had seen it when she had shown Maya's photographs to Sahir, and then the way he was looking at Fashion & City building; like a proud papa or something. But the moment they entered the office, Tarini could swear that there was a temperature rise in the air inspite of the office being air-conditioned.

While Sahir and Maya were busy staring at each other, Tarini took her time to notice the way those two were behaving, after-all she was known for her characteristics assessment skills. She had this uncanny ability to judge a person's state of mind by looking at his/her actions and reactions.

Right now they were on their way to the conference hall. While Sahir and Maya were walking side by side and in front, Tarini stayed a step behind them, assessing the two.

Everybody took seats around the table as the meeting began, "So to what do I owe the pleasure, Mr Chaudhary?" the tone of Maya's voice was calm, her expressions stoic.

Sahir smirked letting his heated gaze sweep over Maya who was seated opposite to him, at the far end of the table, "It's your Junoon that brought me here." he replied.

Tarini ducked her head slightly and made a weird face, 'Is it true or just my imagination?! Why does it look like as if he is talking in double meaning?' she thought to herself as she looked at Maya for a reaction.

"Excuse me?" Maya looked at Sahir with raised brows.

Sahir leaned back on his chair and gestured Aman to explain the situation. "Ma'am, Saiyaara has designed outfits for director Rajdeep Jundra's new movie. These outfits will feature in Saiyaara's Junoon collection which will be featured in our magazine Noor after showcasing them in a fashion show."

"What do you want from me?" Maya asked interrupted Aman in the mid of his explanation.

"You." Sahir said as a matter of fact not caring about others reaction. He smirked when he noticed Maya glaring at him. Even from distance, he could still see the slight flare of her nostril and that murderous glare that just made her a bit more irresistible. Sahir was enjoying every moment of it.

While Maya glared at Sahir, Tarini on the other hand, couldn't help but wonder about this new change in Sahir. He seemed kinda playful. Tarini didn't want to hope but she could see a small hint of the old Sahir, the one who got lost 3 years ago.
