2. THE HEADACHE!

Vihan dialed a number on his intercom and asked sacredly to send HER in.  

Vihan:- send the HEADACHE in…………. 

Sidharth looks at him confusingly seeing him scared of a girl but soon his gaze falls on the door which opens with a bang. The door opened with so much force that the photo frame which was kept beside the door on the table fell breaking once again. 

From the same door, a girl walks inside as nothing happened. She is wearing normal jeans with a top, not looking less than a fairy in simple attires. The first thing which Sidharth noticed is her big doe eyes and her natural puffy red-tinted cheeks. According to Sidharth, her lips can give sleepless nights to anyone and she is perfectly thick from the right places. In short, she is the epitome of beauty. His eyes are just stuck on her and notice her small to small features. This is the first time that he is noticing any girl so closely. Although he never looks at any girl because of his shy nature except one in the past.

Sidharth comes out from his admiring session hearing Vihan’s statement. 

Vihan:- ( while palming his face ) finally 10! 

Hearing him, Sidharth looks at the fallen frame which is joined by white tape from every possible place. But soon his eyes again fall on the girl who picks up the frame and walks towards them with a sheepish smile skipping his heart. 

The girl:- ( while giggling at her act ) Sorry!…… This won’t happen again, I promise. 

Sidharth felt a sudden jolt hearing her melodious voice. Her giggles were like a cherry on the top. 

Vihan:- ( with a crying face ) How many times will you apologize for breaking the same frame? ( took the frame from her hands ) SHEHNAAZ, you broke the same frame 10 times from the day of joining this office. 

“SHEHNAAZ……………………. What a sweet name like her voice and her”, thought Sidharth. 

Shehnaaz:- ( with sharp eyes ) uff…… And from the day of joining the office, I have been working with a white tape in my pocket. Don’t you know about this effort of mine for the company? 

Vihan:- ( while palming his face in distress ) this is not an effort. It’s how you cover up your mistakes. 

Sidharth is enjoying this banter like a silent spectator. Well frankly speaking he is noticing only Shehnaaz with the corner eyes while keeping his face emotionless. His lips are stretching into a smile seeing the cute scene and to hide his smile he opts to drink water. 

Shehnaaz:- ( while widening her eyes, dramatically ) MY MISTAKES!….. Really? Is it my mistake that everyone falls for my hotness? 

The next second, the water stuck in Sidharth’s throat making him choke, hearing her. On the other hand, for Vihan all this is common. 

Vihan:- from where does your hotness come?

Shehnaaz:- what do you mean by that? Don’t you know that I was born hot! 

Seeing the conversation going from the frame to the hotness, Vihan wants to bang his head on the table. With a defeated look he joined his hands and said. 

Vihan:- I am sorry, Shehnaaz. It’s my mistake that I kept the frame on that table knowing that because of your hotness this will fall every day. 

Shehnaaz:- ( while pulling his cheeks ) aww….. How cute, my CUTU BOSS! You look cutest when you apologize. ( mischievously ) So, keep doing that and don’t worry I will repair this. 

Saying this she picks up the frame from the table and takes out the white tape from her pocket. Sincerely she pasted the frame and handed it back to the Vihan. This is the quality of her that Vihan likes the most, that is her sincerity while working. 

Vihan:- ( while looking at the frame ) Now, this frame looks like a tape frame more than a family picture. 

Shehnaaz:- it’s fine, MY CUTU BOSS. Everyone makes mistakes but what matters the most is how we accept our mistakes and apologize. Don’t worry I will always stay beside you to cover up your mistakes just like I did now. 

Vihan:- ( sarcastically ) OH!….. My goodness…… Thank you for doing such a sacrifice for me. 

Shehnaaz:- oh…. Don’t be formal CUTU BOSS. We are like a family. 

This is how she is, a total drama package. 

SHEHNAAZ

A NOT-SO-INNOCENT GIRL THE WAY SHE LOOKS. A TOTAL DRAMA PACKAGE WITH LOTS OF NAUGHTINESS. CAN’T KEEP HER MOUTH SHUT EVEN FOR A SECOND AND HER TALKS WILL MAKE YOU MAD. 

SHE IS TRULY A PATAKA (CRACKER) FROM INSIDE AND OUTSIDE. A GIRL LIKE A MIRROR WHAT IS IN HER HEART IS ALWAYS ON HER MOUTH. A GIRL WITH NO FILTER AND NO PAST. 

A HARDWORKING AND SINCERE ONLY WHEN IT COMES TO WORK. 

CAN WIN ANYONE’S HEART WITH HER TALKS AND NATURE. IN SHORT A COMPLETE SURPRISED PACKAGE. 

Vihan:- Now, should we focus on the work? 

Shehnaaz:- ( with not so interesting look ) No…… let’s discuss Katrina Kaif and Vicky Kaushal’s wedding. This is the hot topic of Bollywood. What do you think is this rumor true? 

Vihan:- ( excitedly ) I have a better topic than this. Wanna listen? 

Shehnaaz:- ( bowing her head ) as my boss says. 

Vihan:- Why don’t we discuss the ways to make you resign from the job? What’s say? 

Listening to this Shehnaaz composed herself but her eyes soon fell on the person who was sitting beside her. Her lips stretch into a smile seeing a very beautiful smile on his lips. 

Shehnaaz:- you have a very beautiful smile boy. 

Hearing the compliment, the blood rushes to Sidharth’s cheeks making her chuckle. 

Vihan:- ( rolling his eyes ) everyone has a beautiful smile, Shehnaaz……… 

Shehnaaz cuts him in mid.

Shehnaaz:- ( eyeing him ) not everyone has! 

Vihan:- ( with narrowed eyes ) I will take it as a compliment. Now, let’s focus on him ( pointing to Sidharth ) 

Before he could say further Shehnaaz again cuts him in mid excitedly. 

Shehnaaz:- ( with dreamy eyes ) my focus is already on him, Boss. He is cute….. Look at his cheeks which turned red when I complimented him. Not so usual, right? Look at his dimples…… and his height would ( eyeing him from head to toe ) umm…….. Would be around 6.2…….. His dressing is quite good and his specs give him a different look……

Vihan makes a crying face and rubs his forehead because now it started paining. 

Vihan:- Shehnaaz, I didn’t mean to focus on him in that way. Look, you are embarrassing him. 

Shehnaaz immediately looks at Sidharth to see him turned into a complete beetroot. She goes all aww on his cuteness. 

Vihan:- Shehnaaz, I am appointing you as his guardian. FROM NOW, HE IS YOUR RESPONSIBILITY. Show him the jam room and prepare him for his launch and concerts. Work on his vocals, the personality that….. The charm which rock stars have. 

Shehnaaz:- don’t worry boss, FROM NOW ON HE IS MINE. I WILL TAKE CARE OF HIM. 

Sidharth felt something strange when she openly claimed him as her’s. He is staring at her with unknown emotions. 

Vihan:- Now, you both can leave. ( to Sidharth ) Sidharth, rest she will make you understand. 

Sidharth nods and both stand up to go but are stopped by Vihan. 

Vihan:- wait!…… ( while looking nowhere ) BE SAFE! 

Sidharth looks at him innocently and tightens his hold on his guitar case, nervously. 

Sidharth:- don’t worry, sir!………. I am not like those spoiled brats. She ( pointing Shehnaaz ) is safe with me. I won’t cross my limit, I promise. 

Vihan:- No…… no…… Sidharth, you took me wrong. I told you to BE SAFE. Shehnaaz is safe with you I know!……. But your dignity is at risk with her. 

Listening to him, Sidharth giggles while looking at Shehnaaz who is shooting daggers at her boss. 

Shehnaaz:- I am not a spoiled brat, sir. 

Vihan:- you are not less than them. 

Shehnaaz flares her nose and grits her teeth. 

Shehnaaz:- then, let me be honest, SIR!…… today you are looking like an EYESHADOW PALETTE, filled with all bright colors. ( turns her gaze towards Sidharth and asks ) Am I right, shy boy? 

Sidharth looks into her angry eyes and nods immediately like an obedient student making her smirk. 

Vihan:- ( yelled at her back ) I am your boss…… for god’s sake show some respect to me! 

Sidharth looks at him with a pitying look and again looks at the fierce girl who doesn’t care about anyone. 

Vihan called Shehnaaz makes her stop in mid and shouts. 

Vihan:- I am taking these aspirins ( showing her tablets ) daily in the office for headaches only because of you. So, I will cut this expense from your salary. 

Shehnaaz rolls her eyes and closes the door with a bang making the frame fall once again but this time at her exit. Sidharth heard the noise and understood what happened inside and the next second heard Vihan’s yell. 

IT’S 11……! 

From the other side, Shehnaaz also yells back. 

Shehnaaz:- keep counting…….. 

Sidharth looks at her and then at himself with a pitying look. 

Sidharth:- ( thought ) Am I going to be a ROCKSTAR or a ROCK+STAR in the sky. It depends on this girl. WHERE AM I STUCK?
