Ashi went to guest room and took rest. At night, a servant called her for dinner. Servants were setting the dining table. Ashi remembered how she used to do all works.

Ani: Chlo sab dinner krlo

All settled down on dining table. Ashi was too ashamed to sit with them. No one spoke a word. They quitely had their dinner and went in their respective rooms after sometime.

Next morning

All had their breakfast and were sitting in hall waiting for the lawyer. Forum and Shekhar didn't come. Lawyer came in sometime. Shiv got up and handshaked with him.

L: Good morning Mr. Malhotra

Shiv: Morning

He sat down.

L: So Mr. Malhotra and Miss Singh you want a divorce?

Sid: Yes

L: Why?

Ashi was fiddling her fingers. Sid squeezed her hand.

Ashi: Actually I was forced for this marriage and I love someone else

L: Alright. Do you wanna file case against the one who forced you

Ashi: No I just want that we both get free from this marriage

L: So is this your final decision?

He asked looking at Sidashi. Both looked at each other.

Sidashi: Yes

L: Alright then

He took out the papers.

L: Mr. Malhotra you sign here

Sid signed the divorce papers.

L: Miss Singh here

Ashi signed.

L: So I will submit the papers in court and you are free from each other now

Sid: Thanks

L left.

Ashi: Thank you so much

Sid gave her a weak smile.

Sid: All the best for your no life. By the way your boyfriend? He didn't come

Ashi: Actually he wanted to come. But unfortunately he had interview today itself and he needs job. He was ready to leave the interview but I convinced him everything will be alright

Sid: Oh ok? Name?

Ashi: Randeep Rai

Sid: Alright. I hope you both will be happy

Ashi took Shivika's blessings and hugged Jaireem. At last, she hugged Sid.

Sid: Take care

Ashi: You too and I will pray you get the best girl. Btw can we be friends?

Sid: Sure. Be in touch

Ashi bid bye to all and left. Sid was looking at the disappearing figure.

Jai kept a hand on his shoulder.

Reem: You alright baby bro?

Sid just smiled and nodded and quitely went to his room.

Reem: Sid...

Shiv: Beta he needs some alone time. Rehne de usse

Reem: Ok papa

In evening

Reem went to Sid's room to give tea. She saw him sleeping with his hair messy and cute pout. Reem smiled at him. She kept the tray on night stand. She asided his hair from his forhead and kissed there. She was caressing his hair and he woke up.

Sid: Bhabs you here?

Reem: Kyu aa ni skti. Mere devar ji ke room mein

Sid: Arre bhabhi aap bhi. Ye bhai aapka hai. Ye kamra aapka hai. Jab chahe aaoo

Reem: Chal uthke fresh hoja. Aur ye tere lie chai aur pakore lai thi. Khale

Sid: Bhabhi itna tala hua khana mein ni khata

Reem: Par maine to apne haatho se bnaya bohot dil se

She said making a fake sad face. Sid hugged her.

Sid: Achha achha aap sad matt ho. Mein abhi kha leta hu

Reem: Hnn

Sid washed his face and came out. He sat on bed in front of Reem. Reem fed him.

Sid: Bhabhi

Reem: Hmm

Sid: Mujhe aapse kuch important baat krni thi

Reem: Hnn bol

Sid: Di mein uss din Vaishu se milne gya tha na

Reem: Hnn

Sid: To I felt something is wrong with her. I mean she wasn't looking happy. Zyada baat bhi ni kr rhi thi. I felt she is not well. I don't know but I felt she is behaving weired

Reem: I don't know. Maybe. I will call mom dad and try to ask

After sometime, Reem called Mish.

Reem: Namaste mumma

Mish: Namaste beta. Kaisi hai tu aur damad ji kaise hai?

Reem: Hum dono theek hai mom

Mish: Hmm aur Vaishu ne btaya Sid Ashi ka. Sab theek hai na? Shivay Anika aur Sid sab theek hai?

Reem: Ma sab bilkul theek hai. Aap tension matt lo. Aap btao aap aur papa kaise ho? Aur Vaishu kaisi hai?

Mish: Hum dono to theek hai betu par Vaish.....

Reem: Kya hua mom? Vaishu theek hai na?

Mish: Waise to theek hai. Par aaj kal har time kaam mein busy rehti hai. Subah shaam kaam kaam kaam. Baat hi ni krti na mujhse na tere papa se. Khana bhi mein zabardasti room mein jaake khiladoo to kha legi nhi to nhi. Tiffin pack krke deti hu shoot se waise ka waise hi wapis aa jata hai. Ghar aate hi phirse padne baith jaegi ya kuch aur. Jabse teri shaadi hui hai yhi haal hai. Aese to bimaar ho jaegi na beta

Reem: Ma aap tension matt lo. Mein baat krti hu usse

Mish: Hnn

They talked for sometime and hanged up the call. Reem was tensed for Vaish.

Few days passed away

Sidreem tried talking to her many times but she just avoided. Over these days, Sidreem noticed Vaish's behaviour and both understood something was definitely wrong with her. Finally one day, Reem called her family doctor. She told him whatever they felt wrong with Vaish. Dr told she is probably in depression. He told Reem he will get an appointment from a psychologist and she can come with Reem for proper treatment. Vaish agreed.

Sidreem went to Singhania Mansion to talk with Vaish. All were sitting in Vaish's room.

Reem: Vaishu we wanna talk something important

Vaish: Hnn bolo di

Reem: Vaishi actually we are seeing you from many days and we felt you are not fine

Sid: So we talked to your family doctor and he fixed an appointment with a psychologist

Vaish: What the hell guys? I am perfectly alright

Reem: Look Vaishu please don't deny. Mom dad bhi bohot pareshan hai. Please tryna understand

Vaish: But di mein theek hu bilkul. To mein kyu milu doctor se

Sid held her hand.

Sid: See Vaishu we know something is noy right. Please don't refuse. Aur chal maan lete hai sab theek hai to ghoom phir kar wapis aa jaenge. Issi bahane outing bhi ho jaegi. Waise to Miss Vaishnavi Singhania kha time ki hum jaise logo ke saath ghoomne ja sake

After a bit more insistent, she agreed to go.
