As Days pass by Sid and Shehnaaz get closer. It's like an everyday routine. Every day after work, Sid and Shehnaaz go home together. Sid drops her. Approximately two hours after that either of the ones calls the other and they would keep talking. They knew they just had that connect with each other. They both were so different but, yet so similar that they fitted in like a jigsaw puzzle piece.

Shehnaaz was slowly but surely realizing that she undoubtedly liked Sidharth. She wasn't sure if he would like her back too. She was insecure. She thought Sid was the CEO of such a successful company. His own reputation had high set bars. He was one of the most famous industrialists and had the media's almost positive limelight. Would someone as successful as him, start liking his colleague or rather someone who worked under him.

She wasn't sure if, her having feelings was the right thing to do. She is someone who always believed in a fairytale love story. As much as bold and intelligent she was. In the case of love, in the end, she was somebody who was eagerly waiting for finding the one person with whom she could find peace.

So she decided to drop in subtle hints and check if he likes her back. One day while coming back home from the office.

"What do I mean to you," asked Shehnaaz.

"Is everything alright? I mean you're good right? why are you asking me such questions?" asked Sidharth curiously.

"Yes, everything is absolutely fine but, tell me na, I'm just casually asking," said Shehnaaz.

"You're my best friend, someone I look forward to talking to, somebody I wait to share things with after a restless day at work," said Sidharth with a smile.

"Alright!" said Shehnaaz as she was a little disappointed with his answer.

Her house came as Sid stopped the car. She said Bye left. Sid could sense something was weird but, he chooses not to ask as it might make things awkward.

Today Shehnaaz didn't call Sid. She called up Samira her colleague and close friend. She would everything related to Sid with her. Samira asked her what was wrong.

"Samira, Sid told me that I'm his best friend. Isn't that exciting " said Shehnaaz in a sarcastic tone?

"Shehnaaz will you tell me what happened" asked Samira.

"Nothing he has just friend-zoned me. He takes me as a best friend nothing more than that. He needed a person to share things with. So I became his go-to person but, I didn't realize while all of this I started having feelings for him but, I have no idea if he too likes me in that way. When I indirectly asked him, he said I'm his BESTFRIEND!!" said Shehnaaz as she kept ranting in anger.

"Shehnaaz you need to stop overthinking," said Samira.

"I'm not, just stating facts," said Shehnaaz.

"No, you are overthinking. He called you his bestfriend. That doesn't mean he has friend-zoned you. He hasn't even told you that you don't have a chance. Remember " agar woh meri sabse achi dost nahi ban sakti toh mein Kabhi use Pyaar Kar hi nahi sakta," said Samira as she mimicked SRK.

"Please, you can't use these filmy dialogues to convince me okay. Anyways bye, I'm sleeping " said Shehnaaz.

Even though she denied what Samira said. Her heart wished she was right. Her heart wanted to her mind to believe that there is a possibility he likes her. Soon she realizes that there were two miss calls on her phone. It was Sid. She had forgotten to call him while she was busy speaking to Samira about him.

She texted him " Sorry, a little tired today. I'm sleeping early. See you at work tomorrow. Best friend ;) "

Sid had a smile on his face as he received her text. They both went to sleep with a lot of thoughts and feelings going on within themselves.
