Everyone again cheered up. Sidd and Avneet were looking at each other with many emotions rushing inside them. That's when Sidd got emotional and hugged Avneet tightly. The whole crowd went Aww while Arun got a little surprised seeing such a quick reaction from Sidd. Avneet hugged him back while Sidd's hot breath landed on her neck, spreading peace inside her. That's when she heard him whisper in her ear.

Sidd: I-I love you too. Please never leave me.

Sidd hugged her tighter. Avneet smiled being happy beyond the limit. That's when Arun yelled signing Jai.

Arun and Jai (shouting): CONGRATULATIONS GUYS!!!

Sidd and Avni broke the hug to see around. Sidd looked down, blushing. Everyone went out one by one except Jai and Arun. Jai went near Sidd and hugged him tightly. Sidd hugged him back.

Jai (breaking the hug): Congratulations guys, from now I will call you Siddharth

Avu (glaring Jai in anger): Siddharth bhai!!!

Jai rolled his eyes while Sidd chuckled silently looking at them. That's when Arun wrapped his arm around Sidd's neck.

Arun: When are you marrying now bro?

Sidd (blank, nervous): I-I don't know.

Avni smiled and held his both hands.

Avu: I want you to meet my parents. My dad also wants to meet you.

Sidd thought for a second before nodding. Avneet turned towards Arun.

Avu: kindly inform the manager about his leave. He won't come tomorrow also.

Sidd: But.....

Avu (looking at him, cutting him): Don't you want to come with me?

Sidd: No, I want but leaving all this.

Avneet stepped closer to him, increasing his heartbeat. He looked down in nervousness.

Avu (making puppy faces): Don't you want to spend time with me?

Sidd melted and slowly pinched her cheek.

Sidd: Cute!

Avu smiled and dragged him from there holding his hand while Arun and Jai went aww.

Abhi was sitting on the couch, folding his fingers thinking about it for the last time. That's when Vaishu's mom came and sat on the couch in front of him while Sam was playing with her toys beside Abhi. Yes, he decided to drop her at her nani's home after 3 days and to clear some doubts too. Vaishu's mom served him tea.

Vaishu's mom: Have it, my dear.

Abhi accepted smiling and sipped the tea. He looked down before asking.

Abhi (politely): Can I ask you something? Will you answer it honestly, please? It's my life's biggest question.

Vaishu's mom nodded.

Abhi: Is Vaishu alive?

Vaishu's mom froze at her spot. She didn't know what to answer. She looked away.

Vaishu's mom (shocked): W-What do you mean?

Abhi (sitting beside her, holding her hand): Aunty please, tell me if Vaishu is alive or not. I-I have seen her with my eyes but I'm not sure. I-I wonder if It's my hallucination or if is it for real. Please, Aunty, tell me that she is alive please.

Vaishu's mom exhaled sharply not knowing what to say now. She just stood up.

Vaishu's mom (stammering): L-Let me bring p-patties for you.

Saying this she left. Her stammering confirmed Abhi that Vaishu is alive otherwise she would have gotten emotional but no, she didn't. Instead, she was stammering.

Abhi (in mind): It means, Vaishu is alive. It means my doubt was right. If she is alive and isn't here then she must be with Siddharth only. You are so clever, Siddharth Nigam. I really thought you haven't done anything but now Vaishu's absence and her mom's silence proved that something is really wrong. I never thought that you will stab me in my back Siddharth Nigam but now if you have announced this war, I will not let you win. I will find you as soon as possible no matter where you hide from me.

He said fisting his hand with anger in his eyes. His eyes caught Sam, who was playing with the doll. His eyes soften. He stood up and went into the kitchen behind Vaishu's mom. He saw her setting the biscuits silently when he entered inside. Vaishu's mom noticed him and went near him.

Vaishu's mom (confusingly): Arey, do you need anything? Why have you come here? Do you need something?

Abhi dragged her hand and placed it on his hand. He started caressing her skin.

Abhi (looking at her skin, still caressing it): Aunty, I-I consider you my mom after my mama's death.

Vaishu's mom (caressing his cheek): I know dear. You are like my son only.

Abhi (looking at her): if you don't mind can you give me a favor?

Vaishu's mom nodded her head.

Abhi (looking up at her): I am invited to a seminar in the USA and it's important. Many Indian businessmen are invited to start a new group project. I-I can't leave Sam alone and nor she can go with me. So, Can you take care of her for 3 days? I can't trust anyone else except you. You know, I am really conscious about her.

Vaishu's mom nodded smiling.

Vaishu's mom (patting his hand which he was holding): Don't worry, I will take care of her.

Abhi: I am making her understand. She won't trouble you or throw any tantrums.

Vaishu's mom (chuckling): Don't worry my dear, I am also like her mother. I will take care of her and she won't trouble me at all.

Abhi kissed her hand.

Abhi (smiling): Thank you so much.

Vaishu's mom (patting his back): Stay blessed my dear!

Abhi glanced at Sam, who was watching cartoons on the TV. She was holding the remote in her cute chubby hands and was laughing at the silly fights of Tom and Jerry. Abhi smiled seeing her.

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

Avneet stopped the car in front of a mansion and got out of the vehicle. Sidd also came out and was amazed to see the big mansion in front of him. His eyes went wide open because he haven't seen such a big mansion before in his life. Yes, his brother also didn't own such a big mansion.

Jai also came out of the car and was sitting in the back seat.

Sidd (looking at Avneet in shock): Is it your home?

Avneet shook her head.

Avu (smiling): No, it's not only my home but mom's, dad's, Jai's also but soon it will be yours also.

Sidd again looked at the mansion.

Jai (hitting his shoulder with Sidd's shoulder, teasing him): Jiju! Don't worry, you will have to see many things.

Avu smirked looking at him and held Sidd's hand. Sidd looked at her while Avu dragged him inside. Jai followed them whistling.

As soon as Avneet entered inside along with Sidd she yelled.

Avu (yelling while dragging Sidd along with her): Papa! Mama! Where are you guys?

Avu's mom came into the hall rubbing her ears where Avneet was present. Till now, Sidd was just amazed and examining the entire textile, interior of the mansion.

Avu's mom (irritated): Why are you yelling Avneet? And you should be at the office. Why are you...

She stopped as her eyes caught Sidd who got nervous about how to act.

Sidd (turning to her, nervously): Good noon Aunty!

Avu's mom (examining him from head to toe): Good noon! Who are you?

Her eyes on him were making him nervous as hell. Sidd opened his mouth but Avneet cut him off.

Avu: Mom, let Dad come. I will tell everyone.

Jai wrapped his arm around his mom's neck.

Jai (creating suspense): By the way mom, you will get a big shock today.

Avu (stern voice): Jai...

That's when her mom came down and walked toward her.

Avu's dad: Why were you shouting dear? (Noticing Sidd) and who is he?

Avu (going near him): Dad, you remember I told you about Siddharth, my P.A.

Avu's dad nodded looking at her.

Avu (excitedly): So, here he is.

Avu's dad looked at her in shock. He glanced at Sidd, who was already looking at him with fear. Avu's dad went near Sidd.
