On Friday -

.
Sidharth is on his way to the airport , he will leave for Dubai this evening . Mohit is driving the car . The road is quite deserted today so he travels swiftly . While stopping by the traffie signals , he suddenly see a familiar person standing alongside the road . He immediately tells Mohit to park the car there . " Sir we will be late " , he replies . But when Sidharth insists repeatedly , he follows his order .

Sidharth lowers the front door glass and calls " Shehnaaz ! "

Shehnaaz turns round and sees a black mercedes standing in beside her , and to her surpise Sidharth is sitting inside the car . She goes near him .

Sidharth - What are you doing her ?

Shehnaaz - I am waiting for a taxi

Sidharth - Get in my car , I will drop you .

Shehnaaz - Its okay . You may leave .

Sidharth - For how long are you planning to wait ?

Shehnaaz - Its just been 20 mins . I am sure I will get a vehicle anytime

Sidharth - Dont you feel exhausted standing under the scorching heat ?

Shehnaaz - I am fine ... You go na !

Sidharth - I have decided I will drop you to home . Come on get in

Mohit - Sir you will miss your flight at this rate !

Shehnaaz - You should listen to your driver

Sidharth - Excuse me he is my manager

Shehnaaz - Whatever ... listen to what he is saying and leave

Sidharth - I cant . I have to settle scores with you

Shehnaaz - What scores ?

Sidharth - You helped me that night ? So by giving you lift , I am gonna pay you back .

Shehnaaz sighs and murmurs " how childish "

Sidharth - Did you say something ?

Shehnaaz - No

Sidharth - Then get inside the car . You know na I am already getting late

Shehnaaz - Okay fine !

She gives in and gets inside the car. Mohit resumes driving .

The whether eventually becomes nice and comfortable . Shehnaaz skeeps stealing glances from Sidharth then and now . Sidharth hesitantly says , " I am going to Dubai today "

Shehnaaz reluctantly - hmm

Sidharth - Waise did you find out from where did I get your number ?

Shehnaaz - From my neice ?

Sidharth - Bingo !!

Shehnaaz - You better not talk to her about me again .

Sidharth - Lol you think I have so much of free time to go around talking about you ?

Shehnaaz finally speaks - I want to ask you something , hope you dont mind .

Sidharth laughs - Wont you ask me if I say I will mind ?

Sidharth - What ?

Shehnaaz - Where do your live ?

Sidharth grins - Right now I am living ?
