C8 Sid Mishty

Siddharth tossed and switched in his bed cursing himself. Why the hell does he have to save her? He just couldn't stand Mishty. The girl crushes his ego every time she meets him. He hates the fact that it affects him to a greater extent. On the other side, Mishty's thoughts about Sid changed overnight. Maybe he is not that bad. Or maybe she has not yet discovered him completely.

"He is not a monster from now on. Maybe SN monster would suit him better. Sometimes a Nice Monster." She giggled at the new nickname which she found for him.

"You are mad," Sid spoke to himself as he regrets saving her in the hotel. Mihir was baffled by Sid's sudden mumbling.

"Are you talking to yourself?" Mihir asked, unsure of what happened with Sid.

"Of course not," Siddharth replied instantly.

"When a guy talks to himself, it must be because of a girl who has some powers to change his life." Mihir just teased his buddy but Sid was confused with himself as to how come he gives importance to any random girl?

"Can you shut that useless mouth?" Sid asked as Mihir laughed at his annoyed friend.

"By the way, the designs were good," Sid said, diverting the topic without Mihir's notice.

Mihir was just shocked by his words and didn't even blink.

"Omg. Siddharth praising anyone? That must be the joke of the year. Guess Miss. Payal Gupta has done a fabulous job" Mihir exclaimed as Sid rolled his eyes.

"Make her job permanent" his words made Mihir jump in joy. This girl made an entry inside his heart. But has he recognized it already?

Siddharth got inside the workroom as Mihir peeped outside and saw Arjun with Ishiita. His eyes went wide as he looked back at Sid to make sure that he didn't see this sight.

Arjun helps Ishiita to walk as she missed her step. Mihir couldn't express his happiness to witness such a scene. How he wished to see them together always as before. But can it be like before? Mihir swallowed his displeasure deep inside and walked towards them as fast as he could.

"Sister, you are with Arjun? Siddharth has come home already. If he sees you?" Mihir blabbered in a panicked voice as he neared Arjun and Ishita.

"How will he see us? I am not here to have dinner with you all. Take your problem. I mean your sister with you. And I am leaving. Goodbye," Arjun replied rudely as Ishiita flinched with his words. Mihir sighed tiredly, seeing that nothing had changed between them as before.

"Arjun" Ishiita called Arjun as he almost entered his car.

"Thanks." Her word did its magic that he went speechless for a moment and his heart flipped autonomously. He looked into her eyes and for a moment he thought to break everything limiting their relationship and just hug her deep to himself. Ishiita turned abruptly, breaking the eye lock as her eyes teared up sensing the difference they had in their life.

"Sisy, I had a very long day" Mishty sighed tiredly as she slumped down on the couch.

"Same with me dear" Payal exclaimed, recalling her adventurous day, especially with Mihir.

"Tell me about your day," Payal inquired.

"I told you about those monsters right?" Mishty asked as she started explaining her day. Payal started laughing heavily, ignoring the annoyance of Mishty.

"You hid from them only to work with them?" Payal asked, controlling her laughter as Mishty threw a pillow over her.

"On a final note, you are going to work with them. So be strong and be courageous. Don't forget that we are a lioness." Payal hugged her sister as she felt relieved.

*****

Sunrises with a motive to change everything in this new day. But what will happen is always bound to happen at any cost.

Ishiita found her purse missing. She tries to recall everything but to her bad luck, her doubt comes to Arjun only. Her doubt got cleared as she got a clear image of her purse on Arjun's table.

"Omg. He shouldn't see my purse" Ishiita panicked and got ready to get her purse back.

"Where are you going, sister?" Siddharth asked, noticing her scared face.

"I forgot my purse at my friend's home. I will get it back. Don't worry. You just carry on with your work" In saying so, Ishiita took her car and left without giving any time for Sid to cross-question her.

Mihir and Sid received a message from Kuber about the address of the place where they would start working. Without wasting any time, Sid drives his SUV to reach the destination as soon as possible.

Hearing the bell, Arjun opened the door to see Ishiita right behind his view. He closed his eyes to control his anger and gritted his teeth.

"Can you explain to me what you are doing here early in the morning?" Arjun asked in a not so sweet voice.

"I just wanted to meet you again today and get my mood to switch off completely. Or you can say that to ruin my day." Ishiita replied nonchalantly as she rolled her eyes.

"You can use a mirror for that. Today I am busy and bye" saying so, Arjun closes the door abruptly. With annoyance, ishiita knocked on the door harshly.

He opened the door and in a swift movement, ishiita entered the house pushing Arjun back.

"I missed my purse here," Ishiita replied.

"Take it and just get out" Arjun snapped at her but she is in no mood to even reply to him which irked Arjun.

In no time, she took her purse and started leaving, showing her utmost displeasure to stay near him. A little part of him felt betrayed by her ignored behaviour but his anger overpowered that feeling.

Before Arjun could open the door, they heard a bell from outside.

"Guess press has come already. Ishiita just hides for a few minutes here." Arjun grabbed Ishiita in a panicked face.

"Do you think that I would listen to you?" Ishiita asked amused.

"Oops, sorry I thought you are grown up now and have some brains. But guess you are still brainless." Arjun snapped at her.

"If they write something about us, more than me, you would be in trouble. If that's what you want, then let's just give them good feed" He added again and Ishiita widened her eyes in realization. She ran to the kitchen to hide, making Arjun giggle at her facial expressions. She is the same as how she was before.

With a small smile, Arjun opened the door and his smile just vanished away.

"What are you doing in my home?" Arjun asked, keeping a stoic expression as both Sid and Mihir are surprised to know tha Kuber has given his address to them.

"Why the hell did he give this address?" Sid snarled at Mihir as he stood there with his head low.

"Let's just get inside. Media people are outside. If they spot us together, they would get to know about our project. Kuber's uncle specially asked us to keep that as a secret." Mihir grabbed Siddharth inside as Arjun sighed tiredly.

"Of course enjoy yourself," Arjun replied, flashing the door angrily.

"Tried to get away from one problem and got another problem at a discount" Arjun spoke to Ishu as she gritted her teeth.

"Shall we taunt each other later?" Ishiita asked, ignoring his taunts. Arjun got some snacks to serve.

"Serving snacks to guests?" Ishiita asked with a mocking smile

"It's for me and MY FRIEND, Mihir," Arjun stressed the word Friend making Ishu get instant tears in her eyes. But soon she shrugged it off and looked back at Arjun with the same blazer eyes.

"If my brother takes some, will you snatch those away?" Ishiita asked as Arjun didn't even reply to her nonsensical question. He came and sat across Sid.

"I don't eat in a stranger's home." Siddharth's words surely hit Arjun that he sat there frozen for a few seconds. The tension became thick and Arjun laughed out loudly in a mocking way.

"Good manners. Keep it up" Arjun replied and forwarded the snacks to Mihir.

"I got this for my FRIEND" Arjun stressed the word Friend. Mihir sighed tiredly to handle these two guys under the same roof.

"By the way, I have a back door too if you want to leave," Arjun added, eyeing his backside door.

"You shouldn't have wasted this much time to reveal such a beautiful truth." Siddharth mocked as he stood up to leave the place. He felt so suffocated to even see Arjun's face.

Before Sid could use the Kitchen to get near the Backside door, Arjun came in front as he remembered Ishiita being there.

"You can't use the back door" Arjun stammered as Sid fisted his hand. This guy should learn a lesson.

"I mean, be a man and use the front door." Arjun never felt dumb before as like this. Sid looked at Arjun as if he had lost it.

"Mihir, ask this man to stop his nonsense and open the door for us." Siddharth is controlling his temper for some time.

"This kitchen is so special to me. I used to have a romance with my girlfriend. So you better don't enter this private place of mine" Arjun blabbered as he already saw Ishu behind the door.

"Hell with press and hell with Kuber" that Siddharth dashed outside from the front door making Mihir sighed tiredly.

"That's so rude," Mihir commented.

"not more than their harshness" Arjun replied with no emotions. Sid even though he heard that, left the home not even glancing back at Arjun.

Ishiita comes forward once they left the home. Looking at Arjun, ishiita felt not to disturb him in any way. His eyes held so many emotions and she could read each bit of it. He looked up to her and tried to mask his expressions but seeing her expression, he could see that she already reads it.

"I should leave now" Ishu said, turning the knob of the hall.

"Why so early? Stay back and eat my brain more just like the way your brother did." He taunted but for the first time in the entire day, she chose to not taunt back. That hurts him like hell. She left the place and once again silence started killing him which was his solace for the past two years. The walls started scaring him and he closed his eyes to stop the pounding heart. As he was struggling with his inner battle, his phone beeped loudly with the message of Kuber. Reading the address, Arjun left the house to reach there.

Bidding bye to Gupats, both sisters started their day enthusiastically to start their journey of victory. Mishty decided to stay with everyone and finish her work to gain more money. Payal declares to stay away from Mihir so that she doesn't get fired.

The first day of the rehearsal begins as everyone has already come to the destination in the same mood. Will they be able to work with each other peacefully?
