These last three weeks gave me a new friend PrikiPriki8 - we have discussed Sidnaaz obsessively, lived each moment and it is just beautiful to be able to pur your heart out to someone you don't know and yet connect to such an extent. This is not one of my best pieces - very hastily written, but this one is for you! <3

Descending down the staircase, all he could do was hum and smile. Though he was mad angry at the way he was exiting the show, he expected nothing more. The production house was known to be thankless and wicked and honestly, nothing mattered more to him than the fact that he was finally getting to go home after a little over two weeks! He looked around and spotted his driver who came running towards him with a smile. Even he seemed excited to see him after 2 weeks.
"Aa gaye bhaiyya!" he beamed and directed him towards the vehicle and Sidharth chuckled.
"Arrey, kaisa hai tu! Time pe aa gaya!" Sidharth greeted him and quickly sat inside before people could come and snap him.
"Bhai, phone laaya hai na tu?" he asked the driver who immediately obliged and Sidharth switched the dead phone on only to see it go bonkers for a few more moments. The notifications were just not stopping even though all his social media notifications were just whatsapp and messages.
After directing the driver to stop over at the production office for a meeting within Filmcity just 2 minutes away, he quickly dialed his mother's number.
"Haan baccha, aa raha hai?" she asked.
"Mom, set se aa gaya, ek production meeting hai max to max aadha ghanta, phir aata hun. Kaise ho aap?" his grin was very wide. The thought of being home was exciting and energising him despite being highly sleep deprived and tired.
"Sab theek hai. Teen ghante maan lun na abhi se?" she asked, to get an estimate.
"Haan, max. Us se late nahi hoga. Accha, main nikalta hun, meeting ke liye. Accha Mom..." he opened his mouth to further ask about her but then stopped.
"Haan baccha?" she smiled at the broken thought.
"Kuch nahi, chalo theek hai see you soon" he grinned and hung up.
"Shehnaaz! Baccha?..." Mom called out, walking towards 'her' room to intimate her of his arrival.
"Hi Sid! Glad to see you back!" The director and the producer were already at the gate and he smiled at them, mentally cursing his luck for not getting the time to text her properly.
"Hi, I'll just take one minute?" he said, pulling out his phone.
"Sure, sure. We'll keep it short. Aap 2 hafte baad ghar jaa rahe ho" the lady smiled understandably.
"Hey! Out of BB. Production meeting. See you in 3 hours." - he typed and hit the sent button and quickly set aside the phone to not look unprofessional and went on for the discussion.

Vrushal who had joined Sidharth for the meeting sat at the back with him as they drove off towards Sidharth's place. Since everything was rushed up, they decided to have some important discussions on the route itself, to save time. Sidharth was barely getting two days before the next shoot began and he wanted those two days completely off work.
Once the work conversation was over, Vrushal went back to his 'friend' zone and discussed his experience and the upcoming homecoming.
"Madam se baat hui?" he asked. Vrushal being a common advisor to them both knew how things were and how last two week had been not just professionally. but personally as well.
