Recap: Vimal feels embarrassed at Amarnath's party later Sid confront Vimal about the incident happened at the party.

**************

Both the houses were lit with the wedding preparations. Everything has been taken care for the wedding that was just in three days. Both the families finished inviting all their friends and relatives and now they were busy in preparing the haldi ritual for both Yamini and Vimal.

Sid saw Yamini being unusual after the party and tried to cheer her since he thought she was upset on Vimal's behaviour but even after three days Yamini being so reserved made him feel bad. He entered her room and saw her sleeping and her costumes for the haldi ritual was placed on the vanity. He sat next to her and shook her to wake her. Yamini got up slowly and sat leaning on the head board.

Sid: Yami, what happened da ? Seriously I m scared on seeing you like this. Are you hiding something from me ?

Yami: Sid, I m really scared. 

Sid: What are you scared of ? Tell me whatever it is Yami ..

Yami laid on the bed with her head on his lap and now Sid was really scared of her reaction. He caressed her hair slowly.

Yami: Sid, I think Vimal is in love with Nivedha. He had accepted this marriage only for Madhu ma and Viswa pa.

Sid: What nonsense Yami...What made you think so ?

Yami: I heard Nivedha and her friends talking about Vimal and Nivedha. Mr. Amarnath had proposed their marriage it seems but I don't know what is exactly happening. What if he likes her ? Did you see him at the party ? He was good around her.. May be she is a perfect girl and also she is a businesswoman now unlike me. 

Sid: If he had liked Nivedha then sure he would have not accepted this marriage with you Yami. He is a straight forward man and will not do anything just because we force him to do.

Yam: Think well Sid. He was good only the first week after the marriage was fixed later he is being very unusual. He never talks, not even joins us in any shopping or marriage related thing.

Sid: I will talk to him. If he is not into this marriage then I will not let him ruin your life. No matter even if he is my brother. I will be on your side Yami.

Yami: Sid, everything is done now. Marriage is in two days. What will happen now ? Let it be.. I don't want to ruin our parent's reputation.

Sid: This is about your life Yami and I don't give any shit about reputation of anyone. It was me who accepted to proceed this marriage when our mom started with this. You know I accepted this only because you will be happy with us forever but if that is not going to happen no matter what I will not let anyone ruin your happiness rather I will die seeing you living a loveless life.

Yami: Seri vidu..( fine ..leave it ) What if I m hallucinating everything ? Possible right...lets see what happens.

Sid: Whatever happens I m with you Yami...Don't worry and I will come back in the evening for the haldi.

He returned home grumpily and decided to have a talk with Vimal and entered his room. He heard the sound of water from the washroom and turned to leave but stopped when he heard the sound of Vimal's mobile ringing. He saw the screen flashing Nivedha's name and felt anger rising from his blood.

He left the room and drove to his friends apartment as they were working from home. Looking at Sid's face they felt something was wrong and waited for Sid to open.

Sid: I think I made a wrong decision to get marry Yami to Vimal...

Navin and Parthy exchanged a look and asked him the reason. Sid explained whatever happened from the day marriage was fixed.

Nav: Sid, do you think it would be good to marry her to Vimal after knowing that he is clearly having second thoughts about the marriage ?

Parth: What if he is in love with that girl like Yamini said ? You were in so hurry and see where you have got her ?

Sid: Should I talk to him ? Atleast now we have some time ...I can't see her like this. I have never seen her like this in all these years.

Sid wiped the tears from his eyes and moved to the balcony. Navin and Parthy followed him and touched his shoulder.

Nav: Sid, we have told you many times but you are not ready to listen to us. you are not a kid Sid. Be practical and think rationaly. Even if Vimal is your brother, he will want his wife's attention to him. Men will always be men Sid...

Parth: You say Yamini is your friend and you can't leave her for anything and want her in your life forever. You are so possessive that you won't allow anyone to even call Yami other than you. Now think what will Vimal expect from this marriage. 

Nav: May be your friendship is causing him to have second thoughts and to consider Nivedha a better choice.

Parth: You have two choice...first talk to Vimal if he really wants this marriage or he wants to marry Nivedha. If he is ready for this marriage then you have to keep your distance with Yamini for her happiness.

Sid rakes his fingers through his hair in frustration yet his eyes shed tears hearing their words.

Nav: Sid, there is nothing like friends can't marry. You are cheating yourself that you don't love her. If you don't love her and treat her as only your friend then why did you stop every boy who wanted to propose her. Why did you beat the boy from her college when he gave rose on valentine's day?

Sid held Navin's collars and Parth pulled him away and they sat on the couch in the hall. Navin passed a bottle of chill water to Sid and he gulped it down.

Nav: You know how a relation of husband and wife will be. You have digged your grave by yourself Sid. If she had married someone else then alteast you will not have to see her giving all attention and care to her husband. Now even if Vimal is ok with the marriage then you will see Yamini drifting away from you and trust me you will feel the worst.

Sid: Don't confuse me now. We are talking about Vimal and his behaviour now. Tell me what shall we do for that.

Parth: We have given the solution Sid. You are not ready to accept it. Ok then let us be direct. Other than you no one can give a happy life to Yamini and you know that very well. Still you have time and think of the best for all of you and stop this marriage or you will be the only reason that Yamini will suffer in her life.

Sid looked at Navin and Parth bewildered and shook his head.

Sid: I have not seen her like that machan..

Nav: Its not necessary that a man should love the woman he will marry immediately after marriage. Trust and care what binds their relation and love follows trust and care. In your case you both trust and care for each other so much then why don't you believe that you will fall in love. Atleast you both will be happy even if you don't fall in love.

Parth: That is not necessary Navin. They are already in love just they need to realize it. That will happen after marriage.

Nav: Talk to Vimal and understand what is his stand now. Sooner the better you talk to him.

Parth: Now lets go out for lunch and relax. Later you can decide on what to do..

The trio locked the apartment and reached a restaurant to have lunch. All the while Navin and Parth did not speak anything about the marriage as they have given all the needed information for Sid and let him decide further. They had lunch and ordered deserts. Sid saw the falooda before him and his thoughts were on Yamini as it was her favourite which made him smile.

Both Navin and Parth saw him smiling and knew the reason.

Nav: Sid finish the falooda and you can buy one for Yamini when you are back to home.

Sid: I didn't think of buying for her.

Parth: Even we didn't say that. We just said that buy one for Yamini on way back home.

They finished the lunch and walked out of the restaurant towards their bikes. Sid started his bike but stopped as his nerves bulged in anger. Navin and Parth saw him staring somewhere and turned their heads only to see Vimal and a girl getting in car holding some bags.

Nav: Is she Nivedha ?

Sid nodded his head and saw them leaving in Vimal's car.

Parth: Evening is his haldi and he is here shoppig with her. Open your eyes Sid before you yourself spoil your Yami's life.

Sid did not speak and drove to his home in utmost anger on himself for putting Yamini through all this.
