Shehnaaz took Sidharth home. Shehnaaz's mother was there. She welcomed Sidharth. After meeting Pammi Ji, Shehnaaz and Sidharth went to Shehnaaz's room.

"Nice. Kitna pyara sa kamra hai tumhara." Sidharth said after seeing the room.

"Jhut mat bolo. Tumhare kamre ke samne yeh kuch bhi nahi." Shehnaaz said.

"Mera kamra sirf size mein hi bada hai. But this is really beautiful."

"Accha? Yeh aur bhi sundar hua karta tha. Tum yaaha ruko, main do minute me aayi." Shehnaaz said and left the room.

Sidharth was waiting. After sometime Shehnaaz came back with a bundle of magazines and posters. Sidharth left astonished seeing those. He took those in his hands and started seeing them one by one.

"Yeh sab kuch tumne collect kiya hai?" Sidharth asked.

"Haan." Shehnaaz replied.

"Can't believe this. Maine socha nahi tha mera koi itna bada fan bhi ho sakta hai."

"Yeh toh kuch bhi nahi. Paata hai, yeh saare posters maine waha lagaye the." Shehnaaz said pointing her fingers towards the wall.

Sidharth looked there and said, "Toh ab kyu nahi hai? Aunty ne nikal diye?"

Suddenly her smile vanished. She looked downwards and said, "Nahi maine khud nikale."

"Kyu?" Sidharth asked.

"Woh uss raat university ke concert ke baad...."

Shehnaaz didn't speak further but Sidharth understood. He felt bad.

"Maine uss din bohut badtameezi ki nah? Actually main bilkool hosh mein nahi tha. I'm really sorry..."

"Arrey kitni baar sorry bologe? Jo hogaya so hogaya. Abhi ka socho. Tum mere liye kitna kuch kar rahe ho. I'm really thankful to you. Aur rahi baat posters ki toh yeh main wapas laga dungi." Shehnaaz said. She tried to take them from Sidharth's hand but he didn't give it.

"Bilkool nahi. Abhi yaaha posters lagenge toh sirf tumhare. Singer Shehnaaz Gill ke." Sidharth said.

Shehnaaz smiled.

Suddenly she heard her mother's voice, "Shehnaaz, tere dost aaye hai tujhse milne."

"Unhe kamre mein bhej do Mummy." Shehnaaz replied.

"Tumhare dost?" Sidharth asked.

"Haan mere university ke friends...." Before Shehnaaz could speak, Shefali, Adi and Naina entered the room. Soon their eyes widened seeing Sidharth in the room.

"SIDHARTH SHUKLA!" Three of them screamed together.

"Ab tum gaye." Shehnaaz uttered.

"Yeh yaaha kya kar raha hai?" Shefali asked.

"Samne se kitna hot lagta hai." Naina said.

"Can I take a selfie?" Adi asked.

Sidharth became uncomfortable. Shehnaaz noticed that and said, "Guys relax! Itna woh karne ki zaroorat nahi hai. Sidharth Mummy ki friend ka beta hai aur recently mujhe music lessons de raha hai. That's why he is in my house."

They couldn't understand until Shehnaaz told them the whole story. After hearing it Shefali said, "Accha ab samjhi. Thank God tune baata diya, warna Sidharth ko yaaha dekh ke mujhe toh heart attack hi aa jaata."

Shehnaaz laughed. Then she looked at Sidharth and said, "Sidharth these are my friends, Shefali, Naina and Adi."

"Hello guys." Sidharth said and shook hands with them.
