SHEHNAAZ'S POV

Recap :
Shortly after, I reached home and
checked my phone... A notification
from Kaushal popped up indicating
that he has sent me the information
about the relations between Mehra'ss
and Shukla's..
The first message read:
"Two deals didn't work out due to
the terms and other reasons, Cordial
With each other due to business but
don't really like much involvement.
Not rivals simply have decent civil
relations."

I didn't really like it from the sound
of it.. Of course it didn't settle well
with me because of obvious reasons
but the second message did gave me
some relief... The second message
read :
"Shukla's are also invited to the party"
One thing I have gotten the hang of in
these past years as a business women
is that that these private parties are
basically meant for deals... Everyone
is invited.... Be it rivals , allies or just
normal relatives and that meant a lot
of show off and simple competition to
prove who's better.. It gets important
to attend them and pass the night
giving fake smiles....
Specially for someone who they don't
have cordial relations with... Because
that leads to leaving the media under
the impression of things not being
right which affects the business and
no sane businessman wants that....
So there's not a chance in hell that
Mr .Sidharth Shukla is missing this
party.
With a smirk on my face, I went to
my room to get changed. After
changing into a casual pair of white
tee and ripped jeans I left to my
brother's apartment to spend some
brother-sister time...

Reaching there I barged open
the door to his apartment (perks of having an extra key ) Only to find him
sprawled out on the sofa with
his legs on the coffee table.. Laptop in his lap typing something furiously munching onto a box of pringles which laid beside him on the pillow Watching him look like a cartoon a laugh left my mouth and he sprung his eyes up to see
me laughing with his mouth full of
tempting potato chips .

I laughed louder watching him have munch down the chips like a cave man...
he huffed and got up keeping his
laptop on the table and hugged me
tightly almost choking me...
"Aree black crow bas... 4 din pehle hi mile the itna pyaar aara hai merepe" I said annoyed with his over-showering of affection on me...
"Chal motto bakvaas na kar ab, yeh
bata meri kaise yaad aagyi tujhe aaj"
He said eyeing me skeptically..
"Kisne kaha teri yaad aayi? Main toh
yeh tere pringles khaane ke liye aayi hu"
and with this I rushed and picked up
the box and started running around
the house with him chasing me....

"Dekh Sana merko bhi khaane hai vaapis
kar unko varna jo main kal mall se
chocolates laaya tha voh nhi milengi
tujhe" And that's where I melted,
why does he have to blackmail me with
chocolates into getting something
done... Yeh sacchi Kutta hai , Gadha
kahin ka....
l jumped onto the couch completely
lying over it and ordered him to
bring me a cup ot coffee and
chocolates while I selected a movie
to watch.... And we spent the night
fighting and watching Yeh Jawaani
Hai Deewani having the best time of
our lives...

(Just for clarification this apartment
was brought by both Shehaaz and
Shehbaaz from their savings...Sana
doesn't live here because she likes too
Iives with her parents but she stays
here often with Shehbaaz so she has
some basic things like clothes and all
kept over here for her)
I got up the next morning, did my
morning business and got ready
for office,after relishing my cup of
coffee I made my way straight to my
office first... Wanting to check upon
other things before I get back to
Mr. Kapoor's office to work on the
project...

I was checking some important mails
when one from Mr. Mehra caught
my attention. I read it and sighed,
Kaushal was right , ditching this would
be a bad idea....I scanned the screen
again to confirm the date and time
for the party.. it was 2 days from
now at 7pm... Hours passed by
and soon around 12 I left for Mr.
Kapoor's office.
By 8:30 we were done And yet again I found myself leaving at the same time with Mr. Shukla and I descended down the stairs not wanting to get caught up in that awkward lift thing we usually end up in....
I moved directly to my car as I was really tired but luck seemed to be not on
my side. My car was out of fuel.

I groaned and moved out , Sidharth seemed to have noticed the reason behind my grumpy attitude as he was standing right outside and very politely and gentlemanly offered me a ride home.
I reluctantly agreed and asked Kaushal
to take care of the car... We fell into a
comfortable silence when I broke it asking about the party... And to my utter surprise he replied "Mr. Kapoor is also invited , He might not go but don't worry I talked to him about the same and we both are free to go also , don't worry my relations with Mehra's will never be a problem for you... and a little advice?"
I nodded not sure what was coming my way..
"ask your manager to do his work under covers... this time toh it was only me but it could be a problem if it had been someone else"

*************
So , Sidharth knows about that little intrusion? How do you think
will Shehnaaz react to it? Do leave your reviews. Also , if ya'll haven't noticed I have been adding my edits in the media box above... feel free to check them out ... :) And please take all the precautions.... Stay safe!

Lots of love
