"All this while I kept forgiving him. He stole my idea to get his new project. I can't believe he could do this to me" cried Manasi with her fake tears.

Sidharth was tensed. He was furious. Ahaan was scared too now as Sidharth clenched his jaw.

Suddenly, he saw a voice. The voice was fierce and bold. It was similar yet, so different as he turned again to look into iPad he saw it was her, Shehnaaz.

"Excuse me, Mrs Manasi Kapadia," said Shehnaaz.

Sidharth couldn't believe what his eyes saw. Shehnaaz had reached the event Manasi was at but, just half an hour back she was in the office how did she reach there.

"I don't know you girl and whatever work you have we can talk after my interview is done," said Manasi while giving a fake smile to Shehnaaz.

" Well, I believe the truth should be given out when you're speaking your bullshit lies," said Shehnaaz.

Manasi was shocked. Who was this girl who had come here out of nowhere? Just then she realised this was Shehnaaz the girl she had given a picture of with Sidharth.

Before, she could realise she was trapped into her own trap. Shehnaaz was smart enough to catch the loop whole in her entire well-planned conspiracy.

"You said you don't even know me. How do you know I'm Sidharth Shukla's lover ?" said Shehnaaz.

Manasi didn't have an answer. She tried to defend herself by refuting the statement made by Shehnaaz but, she wasn't successful as it had gone on the record.

The cameras banned on to Shehnaaz. As the reporter moved the Mike towards her to let her speak. Manasi was helpless as she couldn't do anything but, watch her plan miserably fail.

"Hi. I'm Shehnaaz Gill. I work at 'The Tribe' as an IT engineer. Whatever news that Manasi Singhania, oh I'm sorry Manasi Kapadia has been spreading is absolutely false." said Shehnaaz.

"Ma'am her surname is Sighania, "said the reporter.

"Well, that's not her surname anymore. She has been married to Rohan Kapadia. They have been hiding their marriage since, the past 7 years. They very skillfully cheated Sidharth. The project that 'The Tribe' had bagged last week was very much well deserved as the entire team had put in a lot of efforts. I can confidently and surely say that because I was there all the time" said Shehnaaz.

The reporter was shocked. Manasi was astonished as well. Once again she tried to play her dirty tricks.

" What proof do you gave Ms Gill," said Manasi while giving an evil smirk to her.

"Haha, you think I have come here to expose you without the proof. That's really dumb for someone who could plan something so evil against one of the best and most hardworking business tycoon" said Shehnaaz with a smirk.

"Here it is. She showed the pen drive. It has the footage of you and Rohan Kapadia your dear husband threatening Sidharth and revealing the plan yourself " said Shehnaaz.

" How is it possible we had deleted the footage from his office camera and how can you have the audio, you can't hear that how we fooled him and stole the deal away from him," said Manasi as she was confused.

"Well, here the truth has been spilt out by the devil herself. I hope you'll hear that. Manasi you have fallen I'm the trap yourself. The clip only has the video of you and Rohan stealing the data from Sidharth's laptop but, here you yourself revealed what you'll be doing. Thanks to the secret camera in his office which could be accessed only by Ahaan" said Shehnaaz with a smile.

While watching all this drama. Sidharth had been in shock. He realised Ahaan & Rhea had told everything to Shehnaaz. This not how he wanted her to know about his past but, maybe this was how destiny had planned.

He couldn't believe it when he realised how much Shehnaaz had trust in him. How sure she was that he couldn't have done anything wrong. Even once she didn't ask or question him. She directly headed to confront Manasi out there in front of the media, in front of everyone.

Love? is it. That one fire in you that forces you to do everything you can to protect the one you love. You always put in all the efforts to make the person smile because that smile brings in relief to your heart.

But what about confession? It wasn't necessary. She could see it through his eyes. His action spoke louder than his words. The way he cared for like he cared for nobody else. How he made a point to drop her at home every single day after work and waited down till he saw the light in her apparent switch on.

How he would get jealous when she went close to other guys. How he would eagerly wait to talk & share the most random details about his life to her at night.

How close they were so close to each other without sharing any intimate moment yet. How his single touch that she felt on her skin brought chills down her spine.

All these things shouted back to her. Yes, it's love. He loves you maybe even more than you do. As much as she knew he loved her but, she needs assurance from him. She needed to hear it once, and then she was ready to pour her heart out to him.

"Oh and here are the cops," said Shehnaaz smiled while the cops entered the event.

"You can't do this to me," said Manasi as she had no other choice but, to go along with the cops.

"Well, guess what I already did!" said Shehnaaz with all the sass.

"Also, there is something known as a pure bond. Have you heard of the word Best friends? I'm sure you haven't, with all the people who trust you have broken. Everything is not about affairs for normal people but, oh I'm sorry you aren't normal" said Shehnaaz.

"For what reason are you getting me arrested," said Manasi loudly.

" You have trespassed Sidharth's office and stolen the data from the laptop. At the same time, you have fooled another company by saying it's your plan and in fact, you haven't even supplied the material to them" said Shehnaaz.

Manasi got frustrated as the lady police took her along with her in the van.

"I hope you have a good time, "said Shehnaaz waving back at her.

Office hours were over so she decided to head back home. On her way, she was pissed at Sidharth for not telling her such an important part of his life. The thing that hurt was that he didn't trust her as much as she trusted him. How could he think she would leave him just like Manasi.

Sidharth knew she was hurt. He immediately took his car keys from his table and walked as fast as he could to go to Shehnaaz's house.

"I hope you have a good time brother," said Ahaan with a cute smirk as he knew how mad Shehnaaz is going to be.

All the time while driving Sidharth kept thinking about how is he going to coax Shehnaaz. She had all the rights to be mad at him. He had let her down.

As he reached her apartment and rang the bell. There she was standing in a blue and white comfortable jumpsuit and her unicorn fluffy home slippers and spectacles.

She opened her door while she was texting someone on the phone. She opened the door and looked up to check who was there.

"Oh hey, what are you doing here," she said with a straight face.

Looking at this behaviour of Shehnaaz. Sidharth knew he was going to have a hard time coaxing her.

"Don't act as if you didn't expect me to be here?" said Sidharth with a bunny smile and entered her house while Shehnaaz was biting her inner cheek to control her smile and act as if she is still angry at him.
