The entire day at work Shehnaaz kept ignoring Sidharth. After, taking the advice from Rhea, Sidharth was too scared for Shehnaaz to date other guys. At the same time, he still wasn't ready to confess his feelings.

Shehnaaz knew that Sidharth won't confess his feelings yet. So she continued to ignore him.

After the working hours got over. Shehnaaz left to go back home only to find Sidharth was already waiting down for her. He honked twice and open the door for her while sitting at the driver seat. Shehnaaz gave a fake smile and ignored him. Sidharth once again honked and asked her to sit while indicating by his eyes.

Shehnaaz didn't want to act pricey so she went and sat next to him. Immediately Sidharth started smiling.

"Stop smiling, I'm not talking to you but, I was just trying not to act very pricey," said Shehnaaz as she showed she was mad at him.

" You just did," said Sidharth as he smirked.

The entire car ride they didn't speak much as they reached Shehnaaz's house, both of them just said a simple 'bye' and Shehnaaz left.

Sidharth didn't move his car from there. He waited there inside for more than 20 minutes.

SIDHARTH POV

I didn't know why but, my heart wasn't allowing me to leave from there. It was asking me to go and speak to Shehnaaz. Go tell her everything it shouted back at me but, my mind was still sceptical. I didn't know what was I suppose to do.

As much as I wanted to tell her. My mind fought with my heart not to. Maybe it was because of my previous relationships. I didn't want anything that happened with me in my past relationships to get repeated with Shehnaaz.

In my past relationships, it wasn't so natural. In the case with Shehnaaz, it went very naturally. We went from colleagues to friends to best friends and now lovers.

The thought of even losing her made me get goosebumps. Yes, you can say a man like me who runs 'The Tribe ' and the same man who would boss around everyone and kill them with his one-liners was scared. He was petrified of hurting this one girl Shehnaaz.

I wanted to get into a relationship with her. I wanted to tell her how much she meant to me but, my little heart was scared. I was scared of what if the relationship didn't work out. I might just end up losing my Best friend.

Sidharth was preoccupied with these thoughts when he suddenly felt this urge to go and speak to Shehnaaz. He didn't know what he wanted to tell but, he knew he just had to speak to her.

After having 'that' conversation with Rhea. Even the thought of Shehnaaz dating another guy haunted Sidharth.

Sidharth immediately got down his car and went up to Shehnaaz's apartment.

"Who must be at this hour," thought Shehnaaz to herself as she walked towards the main door after hearing the doorbell ring.

"Hey," said Sidharth.

"Hi. What are you doing here?" asked Shehnaaz being curious about his sudden appearance to her place.

" I think we need to talk," said Sidharth.

"I don't have the time, I'm getting late," said Shehnaaz as she moved towards her room to change.

"Wait. Where are you going? It's 8:30 p.m" questioned Sidharth since usually after office hours Shehnaaz would go back home chill for a while and then speak to Sidharth and go to sleep.

Since they haven't been following their daily routine of speaking on the phone for hours it made Sidharth curious.

"I'm going for a Date " shouted Shehnaaz a she went inside her room.

"WHAT!" shouted Sidharth.

Sidharth kept moving around the house waiting for Shehnaaz to come out from the room.

Shehnaaz came out wearing a short black coloured dress.

"You know what, I know you are just messing around with me," said Sidharth.

"No I'm not, I'm going for a date," said Shehnaaz.

"Really? How did you find a date so quick" asked Sidharth while smirking as he thought she was just fooling him.

" Haha from BumbleBee," said Shehnaaz.

"What you are going on a date with someone you met online," asked Sidharth.

"I haven't met him, I'll meet him for the first time," said Shehnaaz as she kept the essentials in her sling bag.

"Who gave you this idea to you?" asked Sidharth.

"Rhea," said Shehnaaz as she smiled.

FLASHBACK:

"Rhea please meet me, I need your help," said Shehnaaz as she spoke to Rhea on the call.

30 Minutes later:

"Yes tell me," said Rhea.

"How am I suppose to find a date in such less time," said Shehnaaz as she was tensed.

"Bumblebee," said Rhea.

"What? You want me to have an account on a dating app?" asked Shehnaaz being shocked.

"Yes, give me your phone," said Rhea.

Rhea downloaded the Bumble Bee app and began to fill up the details.

"Name: Shehnaaz...... umm no Shehnaaz is too long ...Name: Sana" said Rhea as she continued typing.

"What? Sana? " said Shehnaaz.

" Age:27, Gender: Female, Looking for Male/ female or no I'll put in both "giggled Rhea.

"No, the only male please," said Shehnaaz being petrified.

"Alright! Alright! and about the bio. I'll write, ' A boring I.T engineer who loves to read, write and go on dates *with a wink emoji*" said Rhea as she finally logged into the account.

"What? go on dates? Seriously?" said Shehnaaz while being confused.

"Yes! Now go and enjoy swiping left and right " said Rhea.

FLASHBACK ENDS.

"Shehnaaz, you are not going on any date while wearing the dress, "said Sidharth.

"Why," asked Shehnaaz.

"it's because this dress is giving all the wrong signals for the first date," said Sidharth being worried.

"Ha so, Who wants to give the right signals," said Shehnaaz as she giggled and left.

"What is wrong with this girl " Sidharth facepalmed.

Sidharth didn't know how to make sure Shehnaaz was safe so he Immediately got down, sat in his car, and drove to Rhea's place as fast as he could.

Sidharth continues kept ringing Rhea's doorbell. Rhea opened the door while getting annoyed while Ahaan was already at her place chilling on the sofa.

As she opened the door, she saw it was Sidharth. "Again it's a Shehnaaz problem," she thought to herself in her head.

"Hi bro," said Ahaan.

"I don't have to the time to say hi Ahaan," said Sidharth as he took a deep breath since he came running.

" What's going on bro," said Ahaan as he looked at Rhea and Sidharth.

" Rhea did you give Shehnaaz, the idea of dating guys from an online app?" asked Sidharth being furious.

"Yes, why," said Rhea.

" Who the hell gives such Fuck all ideas," said Sidharth getting angry.

" Why? Are you jealous Sid?" said Rhea giving him geeky smile.

"Jealous my foot. I'm worried. What if the guy whom she meets kidnaps her?" said Sidharth.

" Sid, there are thousands of people who go on dates via a dating app, stop overthinking," said Ahaan.

" But, Shehnaaz is not a part of those thousand people. It is the first time for her. I don't know about any of it. Rhea, we are going to spy on her anyhow" said Sidharth.
