Siddharth was in his apartment, laying syraight on his bed while staring the bracelet in his hold. The bracelet was swinging gently. A smile came on his face seeing the bracelet which belonged to Avneet.

He was smiling when suddenly Avneet's voice echoed in his ear and his smile faded away.

"No one deserves sadness, suffering. I don't know about anyone else but yeah. You don't deserve it. You deserve happiness, a lot of happiness in your life."

"I will be waiting for you."

Sidd's pov

Why she is wishing and waiting for me to join her office? Should I again join her office or not? I am so confused. What if something like that again happens then? But she has known the truth.

Ugh what to do?

Pov ends.

His eyes again caught the bracelet. He got up, sitting on the bed with the bracelet resting on his palm. He was tears in his eyes.

Sidd (in mind): Why am I falling for her knowing that she just have sympathy for me nothing else. At the time when I will need her trust, she also won't believe me and why will she be interested in me who is left with nothing. Being a business woman, why she is stepping close to me? No, she doesn't have feelings for me. It's just sympathy which I deserve.

He wiped his tears with his hand harshly.

Sidd (to himself): I won't join her office again. No, I won't.

He said looking at the bracelet but then fisted his hand with the bracelet inside his hand. He was in dilemma which anyone could say just by seeing him but he also knew one thing, her closeness can create a big trouble for him.

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

Avneet who was standing in her balcony was smiling to herself. Her hairs flying in the direction of air while she was continuously smiling.

Avu (whispering to herself): I have started falling for you Siddharth. You have changed me, you have changed the arrogant Avneet inside me.

She glanced at the sky inhaling the fragrance of flowers in the dark of night. That's when, she felt someone's presence behind her. She turned to find her father standing there with a smile on his face. She tensed wondering if he had heard it. He paced near her.

Avu's dad: You are standing here at this time, anything bothering you?

Avu (tugging her hair behind her ear, tensing): No dad, its nothing like that.

Avu's dad (smiling facing the sky): looks like my daughter is has grown up and thats why she have started hiding things from me.

Avu (suddenly): No dad, its nothing like that.

Avu's dad held her from her shoulder, facing her towards him.

Avu's dad (calmly): Then tell me what is happening with you?

Avu looked down for a second and then looked up at him.

Avu (hesitated): Dad, actually I like a guy in my office.

Avu's dad (raising his eyebrow): Can I know his name?

Avu (hesitated): Siddharth, Siddharth Nigam.

Avu's dad smiled leaving her shoulders, looking straight.

Avu's dad: Oh, that new guy who was appointed as your PA and Mr. Akshay insulted him?

Avu nodded looking down.

Avu's dad (smiling): You have a great choice.

Avu looked up at his father. Avu's dad looked at her who was left astonished.

Avu (shocked): Wait, you don't have any problem with it?

Avu's dad faced her, holding her from her shoulders.

Avu's dad: Why will I have any problem with it my bacha? Infact, I'm happy that you choose your life partner by yourself.

Avu (tensed): But there is something mysterious about him.

Avu's dad (confused): Like what?

Avu inhaled sharply and told him everything which happened till now. Avu's dad nodded understanding her.

Avu's dad: Give him some time. He will share everything when he feels comfortable around you. Time heals everything my dear.

Avu (hugging him): I'm also waiting for the perfect time when he feels me as his family.

Avu's dad patted her head indicating her that everything will be fine. They stood there looking at the shining stars on the sky making the view beautiful yet cold.

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

Abhishek was in his room, setting the mess of toys made by Sam while she was watching T.V in the living room giggling and yelling in joy. As soon as Abhi placed the bucket full of toys, he heard a door bell. He went to look at the door. As soon as he opened the room, he saw a man standing there with a box in his hand. He smiled welcoming him in and hugging him.

Abhi: How are you bro? Long time no meet.

Man (hugging him back): Yeah, I just returned from Malaysia today. So, thought to meet you.

Abhi broke the hug smiling and asked him to come in. They both sat in Abhi's bedroom not loung as Sam was watching T.V there.  Abhi spoke as soon as they sat on the couch.

Abhi: So, how is your life going Aarush?

Aarush: Ah, So busy that I can't tell you.

Abhi smiled at him. Aarush scanned the home.

Aarush: Vaishu bhabhi isn't back yet.

Abhi's smile faded while he just shook his head in no.

Aarush: I am bet sure, she is with Siddharth only. Look na, who will leave her family and not turn back to look at them. Not you but atleast for her daughter. I doubt Siddharth. I am pretty sure, Vaishu bhabhi is with him only. That's why, she didn't turn back.

Abhi (serious): No Aarush, Sidd called me few days back and he was saying, swearing that Vaishu isn't with him.

Aarush (raising his eyebrow): -And you believed him. It means, if anyone will say you anything you will believe them.

Abhi rubbed his temples, exhaling sharply.

Abhi: please Aarush, let's leave it here only. For me, Sam is my first priority now. I don't want all this to affect her.

Aarush (patting Abhi's back): But it is affecting her. Don't worry, everything will be fine. By the way, where is she?

Abhi: Watching cartoons.

Aarush (calling her): Sameera, Sammi.

Sam came there with a teddy in her hand holding sad expressions. Abhi quickly held her, making her sit in his lap.

Sam (showing him teddy torn from ear, baby voice): Daddie see my teddy is hurt.

Abhi (seeing the teddy): Aww, no worries. I will do it's operation and he will be fine.

Sam (getting excited): Really?

Abhi nodded while she jumped. Abhi kissed her cheek.

Abhi: Sam, see uncle has bought chocolates for you.

Sam dragged the box, hugging it tight.

Sam (baby voice): Thank you Unkle!

Aarush smiled pulling her cheeks, while she was busy showing her chocolates to her teddy.

Aarush (in mind): Vaishu, your daughter is just like you. I wish you would have married me and we would have a daughter like her. We would have lived happily but you were a jerk to not accept me. Today, see you and Abhi are also not together.
