Shanaya...Shanaya...Shana???

Lying on her bed, Shanaya could neither hear the bangings of the door nor the voice of Vansh and Avni who were calling her name for the last fifteen minutes.

She was not in the waking world at the moment.

Distanced away from Shana just by a wooden door, Avni, wearing Blue jeans and red shirt, hair tied up in a pony and Vansh, wearing Black pant with a white t-shirt with messed up hair, glanced at each other, outside of Shanaya's room.

The looks on their face were enough to state the condition of their heart. Looking doubtful and concerned, Vansh was the one to break the silence"Are you sure, she is okay?"

Avni, who did not approve his doubtful voice, spoke immediately and sarcastically" What do you mean by 'is she okay?' Of course, she is! She must be in heaven now".

"She is sleeping, till now!" shocked with the news, Vansh exclaimed and, banged on the door with more force again and commanded," Shana, open the door right now or you will see the consequences".

Shanaya's room, basically Vansh's bedroom, was on the second floor, adjacent to Avni's and the gym.

Since the arrival of Shanaya, Vansh had shifted with Vihaan, who resides alone on the third floor, and the Mr and Mrs Rathore couples had the room on the first floor.

The Rathore mansion built on 50,000 sq ft having 15bedrooms and 13 bathrooms, 3,000 sq wine cellar under the ground floor, was built up in the posh area of Delhi and had all the luxuries someone could dream.

It was a five -floored, white stone Mansion with first two floors occupied by the members of the Rathore family and the ground floor for the caretakers.

The fourth floor consisted of 3 bedrooms, mainly for guests and the fifth floor was for the cinema and spa.

Away from the Rathore Mansion, at a distance of two minutes, the guest house made for stay of the delegates or business partners shared the swimming pool with the Mansion.

The banging continued when Avni tried calling for the last time and sighed when she heard a sleepy voice on the other end "Hello".

"Open the damn door, Shana!"Snatching the phone from Avni, Vansh commanded.

"Vanshu, It is already open! Stop banging on it," Vansh's brow furrowed in confusion when he heard Shana, and turned the doorknob to see the door already opened.

Avni looked at Vansh and shaking her head in disbelief, enters in Shana's room.

The scenario inside the room was something Avni had expected.

Lying on the bed, in the centre of the room, Shana had dozed off already. Curtains were obstructing any natural source of light, her day before worn dress placed carelessly on the sofa chair, shoes away from the shoe cabinet near the bed and her valued rings and watch placed carefully in their respective place.

"How can she sleep within a second?" astonished, vansh murmured.

"Shana, wake up you have slept a lot." removing the comforter from her body, Avni ordered.

Vansh laughed when he heard Shanaya blabbering"Let me sleep, dida, my head is aching."

"God, this girl and her excuses to sleep!" standing with both of her hand on her waist, Avni looked at Vansh and saw him chuckling.

Unaware of what was going to happen next to her, Shanaya was sleeping in heaven.

Shanaya complained when Avni along with Vansh make her sit up forcefully" Dee! let me sleep, hmm."

"Wake up, will you??" jerking her with force, Avni scolded her.

"Dee, Easy!" Vansh exclaimed but silenced by the glare Avni gave him.

"I know how she wakes up when she sleeps like this!" explaining, Avni continued slapping on the palm of her feet.

Almost crying like a child, one deprived of its favourite dessert, Shanaya opened her eyes and murmured "Go..o...d m...orn....ing!" with her head jerking in sleep.

"Really! Good morning!!!! It's 6 in the evening!" Avni scolded her like a mother.

In haste, Shanaya's eyes opened and took notice of Avni and vansh, sitting on the edge of her bed.

"God! my eyes are aching and, my head is spinning" pressing her forehead and rubbing her eyes, Shanaya tried to get off of the bed.

She stopped when Vansh stood up and pouring water in the glass from the Water jug, handed it to Shanaya, saying"You know it happens with you when you sleep a lot."

Avoiding eyes contact with Avni, who was looking at her with anger in her eyes, on the condition Shana had made of herself, Shanaya gulped the water in a one go and handed the glass back to Vansh.

"I did not have the idea I have slept for long" sending an indirect apology to Avni, Shanaya tried to defend herself.

"Ofcourse, how would you? Sleeping for 17 hours is not long for you, isn't it! Why would you worry or take notice when you have us, who tries to defend you in every situation!" standing up from the edge of the bed, Avni kept glaring at her while pacing in the room.

Shanaya opts not to speak a word she was wise enough to spare herself from Avni's scoldings.

"You do not care how we will handle people asking about you, how we will handle Dad, Mom, Daddy and Mummy. You know what! Vihaan was correct to say that we both have ruined you!" pointing her finger at Vansh and herself at the last part of the statement, Avni continued scolding Shana.

Making puppy face, Shanaya pleaded" I am sorry dida" and looked at Vansh with puppy eyes, asking him to support her.

Not thinking of bringing Avni's wrath on himself, Vansh tried to control his laugh and shut his lips tight, his fingers zipping up his lips.

"We care for you bcche, why do you act selfishly!" walking toward her, Avni took her hand and squeezing it a little ask politely" Are you okay, baby?".

"Why? Something happened?" acting innocent, Shana asked.

"I am talking about yesterday's event. You know Shana darling, you will have to face many people with the same name, so I only want you to be okay and strong enough to handle this."
