The shooting for the music video was pushed off to the next day because of some problems with the shoot location. That meant another day of being in each other's presence but not with each other. But things subsided when maa had to leave to Pune the same evening at a sudden demise of an old friend of hers. Shehnaz hurriedly packed her suitcase and put all her medicines, her necessities and everything that she could possibly need into her suitcase while Sidharth booked the plane tickets for that night and arranged for a car and driver to take her around in Pune.

"Maa sab tablets white box mein hain. Please yaad se lelo. Aur aapke ghar ke chappal zip ke andhar rakh diya maine cover mein daalke." She told her, zipping up the suitcase.

"Maa ka bag kaha hain?" Sidharth asked her.

"Bag...?" She trailed off, looking around.

"Haan. Usmein adhaar aur doosre IDs rakhde." He told her.

"Bag kaha hain lekin?" She frowned.

"Jispe focus karna hain, waha pe bilkul nahi hota. Chapal pe bohot focus hota hain tera." Sidharth scolded.

"Doondh rahi hoon na. Tu baithke dekhta reh." She said back angrily.

"Tum dono itna stress out kyun ho rahe ho?" Maa asked, exasperated.

"Kyunki you're going alone. He careful. ATM jaana hain mujhe? Do you have enough cash?" Sidharth asked.

"Yeah yeah. Sab theek hain." She nodded.

"Shehnaz! Bag mila?" He shouted.

"Haan. Ruko. Sab rakh rahi hoon." She yelled back.

As Sidharth and maa sat and figured out others things, Shehnaz ran into the kitchen and made some tea. She didn't want maa to leave, plainly for selfish reasons, if she and Sidharth were completely left alone, a discussion would definitely happen and she didn't want to look like a fool. Sidharth had been scolding and yelling at her for the past hour, she didn't blame him, she was losing track of things and he was stressing out over maa leaving all of a sudden. She sighed and poured the tea into cups and walked out of the kitchen and placed the tray on the table.

"Maa Preeti aur Jiju aarahe hain drop karne. Shehnaz aur main gaadi se nikal bhi nahi paaye jab Neetu ko chodne aaye the. Aur Kaushal se baat bhi karni hain about tomorrow. You'll be okay right?" He asked, grabbing a mug of the hot liquid.

"Yeah of course. Stop stressing baccha. I've done this before. Kuch nahi hoga. Bas meri bacchi ka khayal rakhna. Dono ek doosre ka khayal rakhna." She told them both as Shehnaz sat next to her and wrapped her arms around her.

"Vaheguru mehr karein. Aap theek se pohonch jau aur please phone karte raho. Dawayi lo aur mujhe yaad karo harr ghanta." She said, resting her head on her shoulder.

"Ji maate." Maa chuckled, kissing her forehead.

Maa left an hour later, leaving Sidharth and Shehnaz alone in the house, she sat in front of the TV watching a movie, her legs were folded up, hugging them to her chest. She missed being lovey with Sidharth. She did it to herself.

"Baby woh Kaushal keh raha tha ki woh log wahi pe room book karenge for us both..."

"Nahi. Mujhe ghar aana hain." She cut him off.

"It'll get late. Sirf doh dinnonka schedule hain." He said.

"Nahi please. Mujhe nahi rehna. Ghar aajayenge. Aur kitna dhoor hain yaha se? 30 minutes lagenge." She pushed.

"Fine. Whatever." He sighed, and walked off back into their room. She laid down on the couch and scrolled through her phone. She didn't know how to use twitter much, but the little that she did use it, it always left her disappointed. It was in human nature. You'd recieve thousands of messages filled with love, but the ten messages filled with hate and curses, they take a toll on you. It did the same to her. There were a few fans who'd constantly joke around and say that relationships don't last, Shehnaz and Sidharth wouldn't either. She shut off the phone and put it on the table. Their relationship was theirs. No one could predict or dictate what would happen to them. And they would fight to make things work if they ever fell apart. She wanted to be with him, she got up and walked into their room. He sat on the couch, visibly stressed, she knew it was because of her.
