Vibha eyes widened and for moment she felt ground slipped under her feet. She took a minute to process whatever just happened.

Vibha: What?

She asked in shock. She felt like she would wake up and all this would end but unfortunately it was very real.

Vibha: Zalak Sid what is all this?

Zalak: Mom we all love each other and want to share it with you. We want nothing but your love and support for our relationships. That would mean the world to us. Please don't refuse. And you already know Avneet and Akshit

Vibha: Janti hu dono ko. Akshit tumse chhota hai na Zalak?

Zalak: Ma I know. But does that really matter?

Vibha: Matter kaise nhi karta? Wo chhota hai tumse

Sid: Ma itna bhi difference nhi hai dono mein. 3 mahine chhota hai bass usse aur ek second isse farak bhi kya padta hai?

Vibha: Farak padta hai. Kaise nhi padta farak?

Sid: Oh please maa. Ye kya baat hui? Pyaar karte hai wo dono ek doosre se. How does it make any difference. 3 mahine chhote hone se uska pyaar kam ho jayega? Iss baat se koi farak nhi padta. Wo itna hard working aur talented ladka hai. One of the best employees hai company ka. Aur dono khush hai ek doosre ke saath. Aur kya hi matter karta hai? Ye koi baat hui maa?

Hazel didn't understand much but was getting scared because of the heated argument and hugged Avu who was sitting beside her. Avu immediately hugged her back.

Vibha: Tu usse chhod tune kya kia hai?

Ram: Vibha

Ram tried stopping her but Sid cut him off.

Sid: Nhi dad please let her. Itne time se apne ek hi baat pakad rakhi hai. Shaadi shaadi shaadi. Ab agar hum kisiko milne laye hai. Shaadi ke lie tyaar hai. Unse milaya jinse karna chahte hai shaadi, pyaar karte hai jinse to aapko problem hai. Hum kya kare? Aap kya chahte ho? Aur problem bhi kya 3 mahine chhota hai. Kya baat hai maa. Creativity to aap jaisi honi chahie. Jis ladke mein koi problem nhi thi aapne uss mein bhi nikal di. I am sorry yrr Akshit

Sid stood angrily and rushed to his room. Vibha also got up and went in her room giving Avu and Akshit looks. Zalak slapped her forhead with tears in her eyes. Ram sighed and got up. He walked towards her and kept his hand on her head.

Ram: Maan jayegi. Thodi ziddi hai par maa hai tum dono ki maan jayegi. Thoda waqt legi par sab theek ho jayega time ke saath. Tum log chinta matt karo

Zalak hugged him crying. He wrapped his arms around her. He looked at Avu and gave a nod with a smile. Then he put his hand on Akshit's shoulder and gestured him to console Zalak. Akshit held her and Ram left to check on Vibha leaving the kids to themselves.

Hazel: Bua Siddoo

She said with teary eyes.

Avu: Oh hnn wo theek hai bacha. Bass thoda thak gya hai. Tum chinta nhi karo. Okk?

Akshit: Avi hum hai iske paas. Tum Sid ko dekhlo jaakar. He needs you

Zalak: Ya Avi. Please go and see him

Avu nodded hesitantly and went in Sid's room leaving Hazel with Akshit and Zalak. Sid was sitting on the edge of bed holding his head in his hands. She knocked the door drawing his attention towards her. He looked up and she walked inside. She sat beside Sid.

Avu: Are you alright?

Sid nodded.

Sid: I am fine. Don't worry. Honestly mom ka first reaction kinda expected tha mujhe. But Akshit aur di ka I was not expecting this. Pata nhi ye kya baat lekar beth gayi maa. Iss lie mujhe thoda gussa aaya

Avu nodded.

Avu: I get it Sid. But tumhe lagta hai ki wo kabhi bhi hume I mean mujje aur Hazel ko accept karengi?

Sid sighed and held her hands.

Sid: Mujhe nhi pata Avi. I honestly have no idea ki aane wala kal kya hoga. Wo karengi accept iss rishte ko, Hazel ko. Kab karengi. Kitna time lengi. Mere paas sawaalo ke jawaab nhi hai

Avu shut her eyes digesting his words.

Sid: But I know one thing Avi ki maine tumse ek vada kia hai. Kuch bhi ho jaye. Duniya idar se udar ho jaye mein tumhara aur Hazel ka saath kabhi nhi chhodunga. Beti bola hai usse. Aur sirf bolne ke lie nhi. I see her as my daughter. She is my daughter Avi

He got tears thinking what he was gonna say.

Sid: Avi mein apni mom se bohot zyada pyaar karta hu. And you know maine life mein kbhi nhi socha tha ki mujhe unhe kbhi face karna hoga. But I will. Only I expect from you is ki tum mere saath khadi rahogi. Na to khud mujhse door jaogi na meri beti ko kbhi door karogi. Chahe kuch bhi ho jaye. I need your support. Will you?

He asked extending his hand. She looked at it and kept her hand on his. His tear felt on her hand which she kissed making him smile. She hugged him.
