"Dad aap khud bataoge ab ke aap ne aisa kyun kia? Kahin us ladki ko kuch hojata toh? Aap jante ho woh kitni dari hui thi wahan par..?"Sidharth asked his dad sitting beside him on the sofa...
" Sidharth shayed tu janta hai maine aisa kyun kia... Or maine ek pal ke liye bhi us ko akele nahi chora.. Samne hi tha.."his dad replied watching tv..
" Hmm... But dad dobara yeh sab mat karna kyunki koi faida nahi hai... Main pehle bhi ap ko bol chuka hun ke main Shanaya ki jagah kisi ko nahi de sakta... Toh yeh sab kar ke kuch nahi hoga... "Sidharth exclaimed...
" usne kya kia tere sath... Woh sab bhul gaya hai tu... Sidharth tujhe sach mein lagta hai ke wo tujhse pyar karti thi?... Or aise tera tamasha banane ke liye chor gayi tujhe shadi wale din...? "His dad shouted this time...
" lagta nahi yaqeen hai wo pyaar karti hai dad... Isi liye toh mujhse kuch bol nahi payi.. Lekin ek baat aap yaad rakhna main saari zindagi uska intezar karne ke liye tayar hun... Or jo rishta zabardasti aapne mere sar pe dala hai wo sirf ek majburi ka rishta hi rahega... Is ke aage ki umeed mat rakhna mujhse.... "Sidharth shouted back and left from there by slamming the door...
Shehnaaz was standing there listening everything... She didn't react to anything and came near uncle..." Uncle maine sab sun liya... Aj jo aapne kia shayed uske piche aapka koi bhi maqsad tha... Acha bura main nahi janti... Lekin Sidharth ko wo bura laga... Ap please dobara aisa kuch nahi karna... Kyunki main janti hun wo kitni mushkil se koshish kar rahe hain ye rishta nibhane ki... Uncle ap Sidharth ka sochiye kitna mushkil hai unke liye.... Shanaya ne unke sath aise kia lekin phir bhi ussi din unko shadi karni pari... Itna sab hogaya... "Shehnaaz spoke thinking about him... 
" maaf karde beta... Main tujhe takleef nahi dena chahta tha... Lekin maine teri zindagi kharab kardi... Shayed mujhe ye rishte ki baat hi nahi karni chahiye thi... "Rajesh spoke regretting his decision.... 
" Uncle aap aise mat socho... Or chalo hum aaj kuch meetha banate hain... "Shehnaaz diverted the topic and went towards kitchen....
"bohat achi hai tu beta... Mere bas mein ho toh duniya ki sari khushiya laa ke tujhe dun..."... Uncle whispered....

"bohat khush hun mom... Ap jante ho meri film ki shooting start hone wali hai or uske liye main Canada ja rahi hun..." shanaya replied excitedly... 
"arre wah mera bacha... Bohat khush hun main tere liye..." Savitri said... 
"mom wahan ka batao zyada drama toh nahi hua tha na..." Shanaya asked... "drama toh hua tha.. Par wo Sidharth ke baap ne kaha ke usko Shehnaaz ko bahu banana hai or tera baap maan gaya... Or karwadi us panaoti ki shadi us ladke se..." Savitri said gritting her teeth.... 
"Waah maa kya news di....Sidharth ussi gawar ke laik tha..." shanaya replied laughing.. 
"chal ab tera baap aane wala hoga main rakhti hun... Jabse ye sab hua hai mujhse toh sahi se baat hi nahi kar raha..." Savitri spoke hanging up the phone....

Shehnaaz and Rajesh were sitting at the dining table waiting for Sidharth... 
" Uncle woh shayed gusse mein gaye hain toh patanahi kab ayenge... Ap khana kha lo... Main unke sath kha lungi... "Shehnaaz suggested and Uncle nodded his head... She served food to him and sat beside him... 
" kal is ke friends ayenge toh beta wo taayi ki bhateeji bhi ayegi tere sath help karegi... Tu zyada kam nahi karna bas khud ready hojana... "uncle informed her and she sadly smiled....
