The "MSK EDIT" (COMPLETED) ✔️

"PANIC"

THE MYSTERY OF UNANSWERED CALLS

Sid and Sana mostly talk whenever they are free and in between shots...either before their shift call or after the pack up.. but it hasn't really been a day in the past few months that they have gone without talking to each other till she is out that dreaded house...even if its a brief call. It has been a habbit for both of them..

Sid packs up late in the evening and checks his phone...there was a missed call from sana and few usual messages... her messages always bring a constant smile on Sid's face.... he calls her back

" hi sweetheart.... what's up? Kya scene hai tera? Shoot ho gya kya? Darling mere phone ki battery low hai...bus switch off ho jayga..ghar pahuch ke charge kar k call karta hoon tujhe.. ok"

Sid hangs up the call and reaches home... keeps his dead phone on charging...and falls flat on his bed awaiting his phone to get charged.... but passes out as it had been a long tiring day...

He wakes up only to realize that its morning...checks his phone...switching it on... but there is no message from sana... he calls her but no one picks up.. he simply sends a text thinking that she probably is off to her shoot... and as usual she will finish it off and would call him to pick her up..

He gets ready and on his way to the sets.. checks his phone to see if there is any text or call from sana... but in vain...sends her few messages in between the shots but not a single one of his messages gets a revert.. still brushing off his thoughts "busy hogi...shayad shoot me hi hogi...nahi to msg to zaroor karti..shayad pack up kar ke karegi...can't wait to see you baby in my arms"

After packing up his shoot the first thing he checks was his phone... "sana ka na missed call hai na koi text..aisa kaha busy ho gyi" he calls her but its unanswered... he tries calling 4-5 times but there is no response whatsoever...

"Aisa kabhi hua nhi ki sana ne msg ya call ka reply na diya ho" tries to call again and this time her phone is switched off...Sid panics...it hasn't ever happened that they haven't spoken for a straight 18 hours..."Thursday night se aaj Friday evening ho gyi...moti ne na phone kiya na text..ab to switch off hi kar diya" all the bad thoughts clouding his mind...unable to take it any more he decides to drives to Sana's hotel apartment....parking the car he swiftly takes the elevator to her floor... rings the bell in haste to later find out that the door is locked

"Kaha chali gayi?? Phone bhi switched off hai"

Just about turns back to go down.. he sees Sana getting out of the elevator... her hands full of shopping bags...immidiately asks her "tu kaha hai..kab se call kar raha hoon..kitne messages bhi kiye.."

Sana opens the door ignoring his questions... goes to the bedroom to keep the stuff and looks for a bottle of water... while sid has no clue at all as to why she is behaving like this....so indifferent...uninterested..haven't even hugged him once...he couldn't control asking her

"bataygi kya hua hai?? Call back kyu nhi kiya?? Mere messages ka reply kyu nhi kar rahi thi"

Sana : call kiya tha kal raat me tuje..tera phone switchh off tha ...came a cold n curt reply

Sid : sorry sweetheart...ghar pahuch ke phone charging pe lagaya aur charge hone ka wait karte karte kab so gya pata hi nhi chala...i am really sorry...

Sana is in no mood to let it go so easily.. she opens the fridge to find a bottle of chilled water...pours and gulps it..completely ignoring sid...coming back to the living area...sits on the couch and browses something on her phone...
humming some song...as if she is alone in the room...

Sid: yar tujhe kitne call kiye... main itna panic ho gya tha...yaha aya dekhne to door locked tha..main bhot dar gaya tha ki tu kaha hai... tujhe kuch ho to nahi gaya

Sana (in a stern voice) : mujhe kya hoga..firr kya hua to..panikk kyu hona hai usme...mere aur bhi friends hain...sabse roz bat karu aur 1 din na bhi karu to wo to nai panikk kar re hain...tujhe kya hua fir to...

Sana is clearly breathing fire...sid has never seen her this cold and stern... he knows she is pissed off with something and it won't go off so easily..but unable to understand what has pissed her off?

Sid (in a serious tone): to wo tere friends hain na.. main tera friend hoon?? Hum sirf friends hain Shehnaaz??

Sana : kyu to kya hua... "FRIENDS" hi to hain... "gudd friends" kyu nahi hain? Tune hi to bola na Shehnaaz is my very gudd friend..my only source of kya brain somethingg kar ke... to "FRIENDS" hain... usme kya hua to

Now sid gets where all this is coming from... all these numerous interviews are the reason..but he won't let it go so easily...he is ready to clear things out to her for "THEM" because he knows

"The secret of success in any relationship lies in turning one alphabet down -

"ME" into "WE" and after meeting Sana he is no more a "ME" he already has turned it down to "WE" long back and he is ready...murmuring to himself

"Achhaaaa...to aisi baat hai...BRING IT ON BABY"

Where will this confrontation lead to?? Will he be successful in cajoling sana this time?? It looks hard as she is miffed and hurt... understandably so...but then Sid has his own ways... his subtle charm always works the magic..but will it?? This time though?? Sana will be in for a big surprise.
