Shilpa’s POV:
I came to my senses when realized that Sid’s hand was hurt with the hit of hammer and was bleeding. Before I could ask his well being,Choti Ma snatched his hand from mine, “Sid it is bleeding, you are hurt dekh ke kaam karo na”, she scolded him in tears.
“Choti ma wo…”, before I could explain anything she ordered me, “Shilpa jaldi se first aid leke aao”, at which I nodded affirmatively and ran to snatch the first aid box and bandaged his bleeding hand.
She smacked his cheek, “pagal hai dekhke kaam kyu nahi karta”
“Haan aur ye Shilpa kyu chilla rahi thi”, bade papa asked puzzlingly.
I licked my lips and lowering eyes I was about to answer but Sid interrupted in between, “Because I hit my hand dad”
“Haina Shilps,”, he indicated me to say something at which I affirmatively nodded my head and lied in a low tone, “Yes chote papa”
“Aise hi daant padni chahiye tujhe”, Choti ma hit his head and chote papa agreed with her and they left the room.
At which I blew a breath, “why did you lied?”
“Ma papa ko accha nahi lagta ki tumne mujhpe kisi baat keliye chillaya”, he said.
I licked my lips and crossed my arms on chest, “Accha! To abkya badal gaya hai”
“Mere kehne ka wo matlab nahi tha. I was just saying that –that tu mujh par kabhi aise nahi chillati na”, he put forwarded the reason at which I argued, “bachpan se hum ek dusre se aise hi ladte hain”
“to tu hi bata ye painting itni bhi kya important thi?”, he asked and remained me speechless.
He held my shoulders and stated curtly, “kuch badal gayahai”, my eyes were out of the sockets.
He looked at me for a while and laughed out loud, “hahah! Tere mere bich kuch badal lol”, and continued while laughing on the other point I relaxed a bit and he sincerely cupped my cheeks, “chehra dekh apna”
“Aisa lag raha hai bhoot dekh liya ya teri chori pakdi gayi”, he laughed again and said sincerely, “tere mere beech kabhi bhi kuch bhinahi badal sakta, hum besties the hain aur chahe duniya idhar ki udhar ho jae,humesha rahenge”, which brought tears in my eyes and I hugged him back.
He too hugged me and then after parting away, held my arm,“chal shopping chalte hain”, at which I smiled and left.

Armaan’s POV:
The meeting was over and I shook hand with Mehra’s as the deal has been cracked, Ridzi was jumping with happiness chirpily but I was lost, dotting out my behavior from last few days.
Firstly, I objected when Shilpa came to me for granting leaves, then breaking a glass in my hand and today, realizing that how dependent I am on her, from coffee to files and names.
Why an only name coming to my lips was her, the same time Riddhima who was observing from few seconds clasp her finger in front of my face.
“Chalo aaj ka kaam khatam, mere sath bahar chalo shopping pe”, she didn’t even said, she ordered me.
I pressed my lips, “you can go I have no interest in shopping”
“I am not asking, I am ordering okay” and she snatched my arm when I grab my car keys and we drove off.
She stopped the car in a parking area of hospital Sanjeevani and I was confusingly saying, “we were going to shopping right?”
“Yeah! But rastey mein dad ki regular checkup reports pick karni hai, the doctor has just called him”, she explained the whole fiasco, at which I nodded my head, “fine”
“Maina car park karke aati hu, tum jab tak Dr. Modi ke bare mein pooch lo”, she explained him and I being unaware of Sid’s last name uttered, “fine”
I started muttering in my mind, “ye ladkiya bhi na, they are just upto their orders”, I shrieked my head.
“Order mano aur chalte jao”, but I stopped for a second,“but she is different, she has never imposed any order duty at me”, at which a smile creep on my lips and I continued, “wo to mera kaam hai order karna”, and I giggled after so long.
Only her thoughts were making smile and giggles in my emotions what has just happen to me man. I stopped at the reception and asked about Dr. Modi’s cabin and followed her directions, “dekho ye bhi order hi karti hai”, and bit my lower lip.
I reached the cabin and the nameplate seems me very familiar, but I shrugged the thought off and knocked the door, “May I come in”,and a girl who was sitting on the attainder’s chair turned and remained me numb, as it was her.
Riddhima’s POV:
“Finally the car has park, the most difficult job for me to do”, I smacked my hands as if I was dusting them but I heard the same line from the person besides me uttering the same words that too in chorus.
I immediately turned back so as he and both of us co-incidentally screamed, “you”, and that too was in chorus.
“what a co-incidence Riddhima”, he asked.
So as I asked question in the reply of the question, “pehle aap bataiye aap yahan kaise? Follow to nahi kar rahe mujhe”, I chuckled.
“Sorry, apni fiancé ke boss ko kaun follow karta hai, haan twitter pe chalega”, he laughed.
“to fir”, I twisted up my brow.
He smiled, “main to yahi kaam karta hoon, doctor hoon…aap yaha kaise”, he stopped a little.
“Patient ki beti hoon main”, I replied.
“Oh to aap kahi Mr. Shashank Gupta ki daughter to nahi hain?”, he asked at which I nodded my head affirmatively and he scratched his beard, “what a small world?”
“Anyways let’s go”, he said.
Armaan’s POV:
She turned back and left her chair, “aap”, and I found her.
“tum doctor kab se ban gayi, wo bhi male”, I laughed.
She opened her mouth, “ye Sid ka cabin hai mera nahi”, his name only shrunk the smile which was on my lips.
“Aur aap Sid ki official fiance”, I asked looking into her deep grey orbs which has some emptiness captured with them. I covered the distance which we had in between, she tried to settle her legs on the floor but her high heels and shiver feeling didn’t allow her to do that so, and slipped.
She was about to fall flat on the floor when I caught her delicate body in my arms.
Shilpa’s POV:
I was highly scared what was he trying to do when I realized that he was about to sit on the chair lying beside mine but till then it was too late and I lost my balance due to shiver and high heels added the fuel. I thought I was lean flat on the floor so I immediately closed my eyes but within a second I felt a hot breath and come to my senses and found myself in the swing of his arms.
I don’t know why did I thought that he should kept me like that but the same time we heard a laughing sound which was entering from the door and found Sid and Riddhima, coming together and noticed us.
"Chori pakdi gayi", Sid uttered these words and I too reacted in the same way, that he might have had caught us red-handed, doing something wrong, which we were not doing.
Armaan helped me to stand properly, leaving his hand back from my waist but the caress of his hand felt that something has happened to me and shivers me to the spine.
He tried to explain, "Dr. Modi it is not like the way you are thinking"
"It is like that", Sid retorted back.
Armaan argued, "I was just helping her to not fall down, that's it"
"Oh really?", Sid mocked.
Riddhima who might be knowing us well tried to explain him everything but he did not heard a single word and clenched his jaw, "She is only mine"
These words of his shocked me and I thought that why did first time he claimed me as his and for what and on the same time I was shocked with my own thoughts, "He is not lying, technically, I am his, but...", I was not happy with that. The reason of my unhappiness was not that he was not a right person for me, he was, but there was something questionable, the question which I should ask to myself.
Armaan's POV:
I was stunned that this man was so angry at her at nonsense and at the top of that Shilpa was silent, were she happy with him or not but the most shocking aspect was my realization to his words, "Indeed, technically she was his phir mujhe itna bura kyu lag raha hai. Main kyu uska accha bura soch raha hoon, what does she matter to me?"
With these questions before all of us could say anything Sid laughed out loud, "Hahahah"
I took a deep breath so as Shilpa who was besides me and clenched her jaw, "What the f**k is this Sid?"
"Arey yaar dost hai tu meri, wo bhi best wali itna mazak to chalta hai na", he chuckled once again and Riddhima too giggled.
He cupped her cheek, "Dekh I know teri apni life hai, I will never interfere aur I trust you", and they shared a hug, which boiled me in the wrath of...... wrath of what, even I could not name this feeling and immediately departed from the spot.
Riddhima kept calling me from the back but I did not look back and marched.
Riddhima's POV:
I know why Ammy did not stopped, I respect his feelings, I knew from the day when he started behaving awkwardly, but love is love, to kya hua maine ammy se bahut pyaar kiya, par use pyaar kisi aur se hai and I happily accept that. Pyaar mein koi shart to nahi hoti na, I just really hope inka pyaar pura ho jae. Is gadhe Armaan ko pyaari si Shilpa mil jae.
I wiped a lame tear from the corner of my eyes and I looked up at the skies and then at Sid and Shilpa, "Oye love birds, mujhe dad ki reports chahiye asap"
At which Sid chuckled and Shilpa felt awkward. He handed over the reports to me and said, "he is fine bus cholesterol thoda sa badh gaya hai"
"I will take care of it", I smiled, he too.
Shilpa waved and I hugged her back.
