Sidharth leaned against arcade's basket ball game machine on which Zain was playing with amna and maham. His arms folded across chest and intense gaze fixed on Shehnaaz who was bowling with Aryaan across them and laughing with joy each times she wins against him

"Nahiii!" Zain shouted as he lost again and sat down on floor holding his head with sullen expression because maham was now giving him looks and laughing at him

"Zyda overconfident horahe the na ap acha hua apke sath" She smiled returning to play game. He scoffed getting up again

"Yeh machine kharab hai!" He blamed perfectly fine machine for his lose. Amna rolled her eyes and collected tickets they won just to rush over another game

"Sure." Maham said sarcastically and passed cold drink she had to her elder brother who was standing just few feet away. He shook his head and made his way towards bowling side, Zain watched him while standing close to maham

Shehnaaz bend down to take another bowling ball, she felt his intimidating presence behind her, she can tell who's he just by his aura, she watched his veiny hand with shinny silver watch wrapped around wrist grabbing ball as well. She turned her head around instantly, her heart skipped a beat and she suck in breath, because her face was inches away from his. He shifted his cold gaze from ball to her when she turned

She felt as if time has stoped when he gazed into her eyes, coldness replacing with something she didn't recognise. His eyes dropped on her lips, her heart beat rise up, she slowly slid down from him since now he was hovering. She awkwardly passed him smile before trying to rush towards Aryaan who didn't even notice anything because of him being so much focused on amna

"Aryaa-" He walked away immediately to where amna was standing. Shehnaaz stand there nervously, she can feel his gaze burning holes in her head

"You won't cry today?" His deep voice made her turn around to look at him

"Jee?" She was confused

"Tum roti ho mujhe dekh kar so I was just wondering why haven't you cried today" He said casually rolling ball into pit

"M-mein apko dekh kar nahi roti" She denied

"So why did you shudder?" He asked

She opened her mouth to say something but nothing came out of her mouth. She doesn't know what to say now, His eyes shifted back on hers and she was already looking at him, his heart did flip because she was looking at him with so much emotions in those beautiful eyes of hers, as if she wants to tell him manny things but she's holding back for his sake

"Pink kyun pasnad hai tumhe?" He randomly asked acting cool looking down at her clothes. She was taken aback by his sudden random question, she looked down at her clothes as well and tucked strand of hair behind her ear

"Koi reason nahi hai ese he pasnad hai mujhe bachpan se" She answered in low voice. He almost didn't hear her

"It doesn't suits you" He said bluntly expecting offended reaction instead she smiled slightly sitting on bench with hands either side gripping bench underneath

"I don't believe you kyun ke kisi ne mujhe kaha tha everything looks pretty if I'm wearing it" She said, his expression relaxed from frown as they had eye-contact
