It was eleven in morning and five different phones were ringing one after another under same roof, Samar & Sanam apartment but none were answered. After half an hour of unanswered phone rings, this time a louder noise was buzzing in the apartment, the doorbell.

A sequence of groaning, whining and mumbling voice were coming because no one wanted to get up. At last, Remy got up from bed of some room; last night, all of them were so tired that the landed in the Puri brother's apartment and slept wherever they found comfortable place.

She got down from the stairs lazily and looking around she found Sanam and Sahil sleeping on couch of the gaming room. These idiots! She walked towards the door to attain the visitor. "Ben? Good morning." She welcomed him warmly yet half sleep.

"Morning, Remy. So.. My fab four is together I guess? " he raised his eyebrows questioningly. Since Remy is getting the door Ben understood that Venky is here, too and so is Keshav.

"Uh.. " she opened the door wide to let him in, "you guessed it right. They are here. "

"Where are my favorite four and their baby girl? " he smiled sarcastically.

Noticing the annoyance in his behavior Remy asked, "Anything wrong, Ben? You sound-"

"Angry? Annoyed? " he completed her sentence. "Because that's exactly what I am. "

"Sanam?! Samar! Venky?" He called loudly and Sanam woke up in jilt from the noise. "Keshav?! "

"Ben... Calm down. " Remy said softly. "They are sleeping."

"Sleeping during their working hour?" He continued his sarcastic tone. "Sanam?! "

"What happen, Ben? " Sanam woke up rubbing his eyes and Sahil whispered sleepily, "Remind your manager that everyone in here is not Sanam (band). " and went back to sleep.

Two doors of upstairs opened. Samar and Keshav got out from Samar's room and Venky from Guest room that was occupied by Sahil.

"Ben? Itni subah kyu chilla rahe ho? " Samar asked walking down followed by Venky and Keshav.

"It's not 'subah' anymore, Samar. " Ben marked.

Sanam also walked to hall and they stood beside each other facing their manager who seemed a little... Furious.

"You guys had a recording yesterday that was postponed because of Warisha's health issue and it was supposed to happen today; somewhere around ten in morning..? And it's eleven now! " Ben snapped, "since when SANAM got this unprofessional? No calls, no messages and here you all are... Sleeping instead of working! "

The boys looked at each other having the knowing look that they are doomed and that they invited this themselves and also that, Ben was right.

"Ben.. We just.. " Venky tried to come up with some valid reason but his words didn't want to come out.

"What..? And where's our little kid? " he asked about Warisha.

"Ben, it's okay. They are just one hour late." Remy pointed supporting SANAM.

Ben shook his head, "It's not just about today, Remy. It's happening since the day Sanam and Warisha broke up. "

Samar stepped up, "Ben-" but Sanam held his hand stopping him and looking at him, his eyes saying - Let him speak what he want to.

"The Sanam that I knew used to put their work first and balance their personal and professional life perfectly but now... Sanam.. " he looked at Sanam alone, "you have lost that balance. "

"I-I'm... I know, Ben. " Sanam said slowly. "My behavior these past days.. " Ben gave him an astonished look on listening 'days' and taking that Sanam corrected himself, "months, okay?" And Ben gave a satisfied look.

"My behavior these past month have effected our work. My fault. I'm sorry. "

"Anything wrong?" Came Warisha's small voice. She just heard Sanam saying sorry and didn't know what was going on or why the boys were standing in queue in front of Ben like some students in front of their Principal waiting for their punishment.

"Nothing. " Venky said smilingly.

Samar joined, "Yeah.. Nothing. Just getting scolding from elders for partying all night."

Warisha giggled listening this and Ben added jokingly, "without the elder."

Sanam & Remy raised their eyebrows surprised by Ben. They couldn't handle that he was just scolding them and now joking about same topic with Warisha.

"Warisha.. Get ready, you have recording in two an a half hour. Hmm. " he enlightened her, "and you are leaving with me, not with your fab four, okay? "

Warisha nodded looking from Ben to Band, "okay! Give me... A... Decent time to get over-"

"All-night-long-party-hangover? " Ben asked and she had a silly shy grin on her face. Ben shook his head smilingly, "I give you an hour, be quick. "

"Okay! " she cheered dancing back in her room.

"Uhm.. So..? " Remy took slow step, "Will you guys ever stop doing that? " she asked the five.

"What? "

"Protecting her from all bad and blues? "

All of them still had a confused expression on their faces, even Ben.

She looked at Ben saying, "Just now you were scolding SANAM for partying, being careless, et cetera, et cetera and.... You joked and smiled on same with Warisha? " she raised her left eyebrow. Ben still couldn't understand what Remy was trying to say.

"She is no more a kid you guys met. " she faced SANAM, "She is no more an eighteen year old girl crushing over some celeb. Rather, she's a grown up woman, living away from her family, building her life on her own. Independent; but not exactly because somehow she's dependant on you all. " she moved her hand pointing the five men. "Stop... Protecting her from.. " she sighed and then again looked at Sanam, "when you tried to walk away from her life assuming it's good for her but she didn't let you go, she never gave up on you because she knew what's good or best for her. She is way more mature and strong than you guys think. "

"Ben, be the good and strick mentor to her as you are for SANAM. "

"I think Remy is right. " Sanam finally stop. "We should just stop being her glass wall and let her face her life of her own with us on her side not backing her. "

"Whoa.. " Ben exhaled. "Usually I'm the one lecturing you all but Remy turned the table today. " everyone chuckled.

"Whatever." She laughed softly "SANAM, get freshen up. I'll prepare something to eat for you all. And Samar, " she faced Samar, "Please wake up Suman and Ameera. "

"Haa!! Mujhe bhukha maardo! " Sahil shouted and everyone laughed.

After having their quick breakfast Warisha left with Ben for her solo recording and SANAM stayed back as they had another hour for themselves.

"So Ameera, kitne din rehne ka irada hai apni cousin ke saath? " Keshav asked her. They were sitting on ground of the gaming room and some on couch.

"A month. " she grinned.

Sanam narrowed his eyes, "why I think that you're blushing? Suman, tujhe kya lagta hai? " he asked for her advice.

Suman bend down coming close to her face and Ameera just blushed more.

"Hmm... I think you're right, Sanam. She is blushing. " she concluded and slapping her shoulder playfully she asked her, "Kyu... Kya baat hai, Ameera? Tamatar kyu horahi hai? "

"Suman.. " she giggled.

"Kya Suman. "

"Woh... Actually I've resigned from my job. So, doing last month in this branch. "

"Hai? " Sanam made a twisted face and Samar asked, "Resign karne me blush karne wali kya baat hai? "

"Yeah.. Exactly.. " everyone whispered and with pink cheeks and shy smile Ameera replied:

"I'm getting married. "

"WHAT?! " Suman gasped covering her mouth from her palm and then she flung her arms around her in a hug. "CONGRATULATIONS!!! OH EM GEE!! Haha! " she pulled apart. "I'm so happy for you!! "

"Ab mera kya hoga?" Samar pouted pulling Ameera's leg.

"Main to abhi bhi keh raha hu bhai... Bhaag jaa iske saath. " Sanam suggested controlling his laughter.

"Phir Suman ka kya hoga? " Samar asked in concern.

Suman grinned mischievously, "Tum meri chinta mat karo." And sat beside Sahil, "Yeh hai na mere liye. " she said in a flirty tone and Sahil being Sahil bent on one knee holding her hand, "your Highness. " and kissed her knuckles.

"Hashtag Fact 101- never introduce your partner to Sahil." Keshav said in robotic voice and everyone laughed aloud.

"Sahi hai, Keshu. " Sanam clapped. "Kabhi meri wali pe hit karta, kabhi Ameera and now... " he pointed Sahil flirting with Suman.

"Sahil ke charm se bachna mushkil hi nahi... Namumkin hai. "

"Oh please! " Ameera laughed and so did Samar saying, "Ameera didn't even notice you.

And neither your so called charm worked on Warisha."

"Warisha is exception. She wasn't in mood to fall for anything. " Sahil whistled.

"That's the point! " Samar exclaimed. "Agar tera charm itna hi irresistible hai toh she should have fallen for you. "

Ameera, Suman & Keshav were silently enjoying the argument of the cousins.

"Excuse me? You guys are talking about the girl that I'm in love with? " Sanam complained of their immature argument going on.

"Aray Sanam! Tujhe toh pata hi nahi main yaha kyu aaya tha? " Sahil grinned maliciously looking at Samar who had a warning look on his face that was telling him to -SHUT-UP-.

"Because you wanted to? "

"Nah... Because Samar asked me to. " he smirked and Sanam looked at his brother while Sahil continued, "he wanted me to woe Warisha and spend some time with her to make you jealous and accept your feelings for her. "

"Whoa... " Suman gasped, "you never shared this with me!"

"Samar... Seriously? You wanted some guy to get close to my sis? "

"I'm not some guy, okay? " Sahil said coolly.

"Guys... I.. I just-"

Sanam didn't react to this disclosure and interrupted Samar, "We should leave now or we'd late. "

Keshav understood Sanam didn't like what he heard and kept a hand on his shoulder, "Let's go."

Standing up Sanam said, "Suman, Ameera, tum dono bhi chalo. Raaste me tumhe tumhare ghar aur hotel me drop kar denge."

"Aray... Main aur Amy rehte hai na. Hum tumlogo k liye lunch ready kar denge." Suman suggested.

"Aur main bhi akela kya karunga? Rehne dena dono ko." Sahil added.

"Ameera? " Sanam asked her what she wanted to do and she replied, "Fine with me. I'll stay with Suman. "

"Great! " Sahil grinned.

"Chal, hum chalte hai." Samar walked and got their car key.

"Bye! "

"I'll drive." Sanam said as Samar unlocked the car.

"Okay... " he walked to passenger's seat and Keshav settled on back.

While on their ride Sanam suddenly said, "Thank you."

"Huh? Thanks kis liye? " Samar and Keshav asked unanimously.

Sanam smiled, "For all those thing that you guys did, planned, plotted... to bring me and Warisha back. "

Both his brother and Best friend chuckled and putting their hand on his shoulder Samar said, "Tujhe kya laga; hum aise hi tujhe tere sapno ki rani se alag hone dete? " and they laughed.

When they reached the studio and entered the recording room where Warisha and others were waiting for them. They found her sitting there and grinning like an idiot with Venky.

"Joker kyu bani hui hai? " Keshav asked sitting.

"Because I'm working with my all favorites together!! " she said happily clapping like a kid and everyone in the room smiled at her adorable child like behavior.

"Acha? " Samar said taking a seat in front of her, "kaun - kaun? "

With a big smile she started, "A song written by Kumaar sir, composed by Amaal and sung by.....SANAM!! "

"Okay... So what's the song? "

Just then Amaal and Kumaar entered the room and Warisha giggled looking at them.
