"Sid, ek baat bata." Shehnaz asked, as she played with Siddharth's hair. Siddharth looked up at her from her lap. He took out the twig he had in his mouth.

"Pooch." He said. He looked around the park again. He was being very careful; he did not want the paparazzi to catch him and Shehnaz just enjoying a day-out in the park behind his farmhouse in Mumbai. He knew they would cook up all types of rumours.

"Yaar tujhe kabhi kabhi Bigg Boss ki yaad nahi aati?" She asked, biting her lips.

"Aati hai na. Garden area ke woh chairs, Mera favourite bedroom ke aage wala sofa. Tere baare mein sapne dekhna." Sid smiled.

Sana's heart jumped. "Tu mere baare mein sapne dekhta tha? Ab bhi dekhta hai?" Sana asked, a small hope rising within her.

"Haan na. Teri wo annoying awaaz ke to nightmares aate the mujhe. Ab bhi aate hain." Sid laughed, earning a punch on his arm from Sana. He winced, but kept laughing.

"Mota. Bas baithne ki baat karta reh. Chair... bed... Aur kuchh to karta hi nahi tha tu." Sid was about to reply, but she continued.

Yaar, mujhe to bahut gandi wali yaad aati hai Bigg Boss ki. Pata hai, BB house ke phool bhi kitne sundar the. Ghar aake episodes dekhe to pata chala, Bigg Boss ne phoolon ke baare mein kuchh dikhaya hi nahi TV pe." Shehnaz pouted, a little upset.

Sid smiled, remembering those times. "Haan yaar, sahi mein. Raat mein jab pehle pehle main aur Asim bahar baithte the, tab wo phool aur bhi sundar dikhte the. Ekdum colourful the." Sid smiled at Sana.

"Acha! Main kya kar rahi hoti thi tab?" Sana asked, giggling.

"Tu motiyon ki tarah so rahi hoti thi, aur kya." Sid said, immediately standing up. As he expected, Sana got up, chasing him around the park. 

The air was filled with sounds of laughing and giggling, with Shehnaz's payals making the occasional ringing sound and Sid's teasing accompanying their fiasco. Soon they both fell on the grass, tired and panting.

Shehnaz touched the cool grass with her hands, pulling it slightly. She suddenly heard a slap noise, and immediately looked at Sid. Sid was flicking something away from his t-shirt.

"Machchar. Shaam ho gayi hai na, isliye." He said, when she looked at him.

Sana laughed. After a moment, she said, "Sid, ek aur baat poochon?". Sid nodded, still tired.

"Bore ho rahi hoon yaar. Chal na, antakshari khelte hain." Shehnaz propped herself up on one arm. Sid looked at her, annoyed.

"Yaar bakwaas mat kar. Mujhe gaana nahi aata." Sid said, looking at the dark purple sky.

"Arre, wahi toh." Sana laughed. "Tu besura gayega, or main acche se gayungi. Maza aayega." She laughed again, clapping her hands. 

Sid looked at her. 

"This girl is unbelievable", he thought to himself. 

"Accha chal, tu shuru kar." He replied.

"Theek hai..." Sana went into thought about which song to sing.

"Akh surme se bharke taiyar ki. Kheench kheench ke nishane hoon main maarti.... Soneya, Mera nakhra- 

"SID!" Sana screamed suddenly out of nowhere.

Sid leapt up with shock. "Kya hua, chillaya kyun?" He screamed back, looking at Sana with wide eyes.
