The next 2 days passed by. Shehnaaz and Rohanpreet had been practising like anything. Sidharth on the other hand had been making sure that she gets all her costumes right. It pissed him off that she was practising so much which he happened to call "gadha majdoori" to irritate her.

It was the third day since Paras had told her that he couldn't dance with her. Rohanpreet and Shehnaaz and Sidharth along with Asim, Madhurima and Vishal were on their way to college's auditorium to practice. Shehnaaz was on the stage when she heard a voice that could make one's ears bleed. A voice that was enough for one to pull his own hair. Yes, Mahira was speaking on the mic.

"Awwwww. Shehnaaz. Paras ne manna kr diya dance krne se? Krega hee. Jealous logo ke saath dance nahi krta na voh. Aur tere ko sharam nai aayi, mere boyfriend ke saath dance kr rahi thi? You jealous girl?"

Sidharth along with others stood near the audience chairs watching it. Sidharth, Madhurima, Vishal and Asim has a smile on their faces, while Rohanpreet seemed a bit angry?

"Yeh aise kese bol skte hain Shehnaaz ko? Yeh ladki ko tameez nahi hai? Sidharth bhai chal. Kuch krte hain. Sab log ikhhata ho rahe hain. Shehnaaz ke liye kitna embarrassing hoga. Uska mood off hojayega, fir dance ka kya hoga. Bhai chal. Mic hee off kr dete hain."

"Rohanpreet. Abhi toh show shuru hua hai. Abhi toh mazza aayega. Agar tujhe kuch krna hee hai, toh aur log le aa."

"Sidharth. Kya bol rha hai bhai tu. Shehnaaz yeh sab handle kese kregi? Voh bohot hee innocent hai. Aisi ladkiyo ko kese jawaab degi. Mai jaa rha hu kuch krne"

He was about to leave when Sidharth pulled him back. He wanted to say something but he couldn't.

"Shehnaaz innocent hai, weak nahi hai. She knows how to fight her battles on her own. And jab mujhe lagega ki she is in a mess, I ll do something myself. Lekin agar tu abhi kuch kr diya, toh mai toh kuch nai bolunga, lekin I wonder if Shehnaaz will spare you. Ruk jaa"

Rohanpreet looked at Sidharth with the most confused face. Her best friend was being targeted by Mahira in the ugliest of manners, almost half of the college had gathered in the auditorium and he himself was doing nothing, and wasn't allowing him to do anything. He was taken out of his thoughts when he heard Mahira spill more venom out.

"Kya hua jealous girl. Kuch hai nai kya bolne ko?"

Shehnaaz looked at Paras. He couldn't meet her eyes and was staring on the ground. She smirked and asked for a mic, which Asim gave to her, with excitement oozing out from his face. It looked as if he knew what was going to happen next. He took her phone, and went to Sidharth.

"Jealous toh mai hee tujh se Mahira. Kyunki tere mei jo talent hai na, voh mere mei nahi hai. Batau kaunsa? Ek aisi aawaaz mei mic mei bolne ka, jiss se saamne wale ke kaan fatt hee jaaye."

Everyone present in the auditorium started hooting for Shehnaaz. Rohanpreet was amazed by what just happened before his eyes.

"Mahira ki aawaaz se kaan fatt te hain, aur Shehnaaz ab Paras ki kuch aur faadegi," Sidharth said.

"Dekho Mahira, aise hota hai. Beizzti tu meri krne aayi thi, aur log naam mera bol rahe hain. Aise nai hota, Mai Mahira hu mai Mahira hu. Log tumhara naam le, tab mazza aata hai. Arey jaa tu. Tujhse jealous hongi? Tu hai kya?"

She mocked her. There was so much of fierceness in her eyes, and she roared like a tigress. When Rohanpreet thought she couldn't get any better, he didn't know it was just the start.

Soon a message flashed on the projector's screen. It was the same message Paras had sent her the other day.

"Shehnaaz, sorry yar. Mai perform nai kr paunga. I had not told Mahira that I am performing with you. Aaj usko pata challa, and she has given me two options, either I don't dance or breakup with her. So I am choosing the first option. Mere ko maaf krde, aise end moment bol rha hu. Par kuch nai ho skta.
                        -Paras"
