Abhi was sitting in his car going to pick Sam up as he was already missing her a lot. From the time he has come, Sidd and Avu didn't leave his mind for a second. The only question that surrounded his mind was if Sidd and Avni are in a relationship, then where is Vaishu? Many other probabilities like Sidd lying to him, Avni also included in all this, and many other schemes surrounding his mind as time passed. He massaged his forehead, closing his eyes, not understanding a single thing. He wondered whether he trusted his brother and the story told by him, the main point again roams in his mind if Sidd might be innocent, then where Vaishu is?

He leaned back, rubbing his temples. It was like he was trapped in the thick wall of darkness.

He was jolted forward as the driver applied the brakes.

Driver: Sir, we have reached Rao House.

Abhi turned his head towards the left. He looked down and exhaled sharplg before turning the knob outwards and placing his foot out. He again looked forward. No matter how many times he had come here but this time, he was feeling something different. Vaishu, who was on her scooter a little far from her house, saw Abhi's car standing there. She stopped right there and watched him going inside. She turned her head to the other side as tears welled up her eyes.

Vaishu (in mind): Why don't you go away from here, Abhishek? Every time I see you, I regret the time when I loved you and married you. You went from here for 1 week just to come back like this? No problem, if you won't go from here then I will be the one leaving this country forever because I can't see you around me every time. Because of you, I am apart from my own blood and my own home.

She blinked her eyes as a fell from her eye. The hate she had was so much that she also can't explain in words. She quickly wiped her tears and dragged her scooter. She just hid there watching everything from a distance.

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

Abhi entered Rao home to see no one in the hall as Sam was with her grandparentd in their room.

Abhi (aloud): Sameera....

That's when the guard came inside and informed Abhi that they were all in their room. Abhi nodded and started walking towards their room, but before their room, he looked at his right side to see Vaishu's room, whose door was slightly opened. His feet subconsciously started walking towards her room. His eyes scan the whole room, and that's when a sweet fragrance came upon him. He closed his eyes as this fragrance was the same as Vaishu's. He didn't know why, but his heart was screaming that his Vaishu was somewhere here only. His eyes suddenly caught a photo frame.

He slowly picked it up in his hand and caressed it as a tear fell from his eye.

Abhi (mumble): I love you, Vaishu. Please come back. 

"PAPUUUU...!!"

Abhi heard a joyful scream. He quickly wiped his tears and turned around to see Sam hugging him from his torso. He picked her up in his arms, kissing her cheeks. That's when Vaishu's parents also came there. They had a smile on their faces. Abhi bent down and touched their feet while they showered their blessings.

Sam (still hugging him): Papa, I missed you a lot.

Vaish's parents chuckled, looking at each other.

Vaishu's mom: Abhi beta, have a seat. Let me bring snacks for you.

Abhi (still hugging Sam): No aunty. It's fine. I have already done my lunch on the plane.

Vaishu's mom nodded, smiling.

Abhi (joining his hands, tears in his eyes): Thank you so much for taking care of my Sam.

Vaishu's dad (holding his hands): She is our granddaughter also.

Abhi nodded.

Abhi: We should leave now.

Sam (whinning): Papa, I don't want to go without meeting di.

Everyone's smile fell while Abhi frowned. Vaishu's mom and dad looked at each other with fear in their eyes.

Abhi (confused): Which di are you talking about?

Vaishu's mom: Actually, Abhi beta neighbour's girl came to know that Sam was staying at our home. So, she used to come and play with her.

Abhi: Oh..!

Vaishu's parents signed in relief.

Abhi: we shall leave now.

Sam (in cute baby voice): Papa, put me down.

Abhi made her stand on her feet. Sam walked towards her grandparents and hugged them tightly, bringing tears into their eyes. Vaishu's mom and father kissed her cheeks from either side.

Vaishu's mom (cupping her face): You are just like my Vaishu.

Abhi's mood was already not good, and hearing this, he felt more guilty. No matter what, but he knows somewhere he is also responsible for all this.

Sam (kissing their cheeks): I love you.

They smiled. Abhi picked  Sam up in his arms.

Abhi: Let's go, Sam.

Sam nodded her head with sadness in her eyes. Abhi smiled at them and left the place, following with Vaishu's mom and dad. Abhi touched their feet once again as he came out.

Abhi: I should leave now.

Abhi hugged Vaishu's dad while Vaishu was there standing a little far looking at everything. Her eyes widened as she realized that he was here to take Sam with him. He sat in the car when Sam looked behind at Vaish from the car. Sam's smile grew as she saw Vaishu. She started waving her hand as the car started. Vaishu also waved back with tears in her eyes. Abhi looked at Sam confusingly and looked back, but unfortunately, he couldn't see Vaishu standing there. Vaishu just stood there, crying silently, cursing her fate.

***********

In the U.S.A.,

There is seen a rush and hustle bustle everywhere. Well, why not. It's the wedding of the businesswoman, Avneet Kaur Nandra, with the love of her life. She was the one who was the bride, and Jai was the one who was handling catering and decorations. Currently, Sidd was standing on the balcony, looking at every arrangement done by the workers out there. His wedding reminded him of his dada's wedding. He remembered how he was excited and dancing around in the excitement. He expected his dad would also do the same, but he didn't know everything would change so soon. He was still standing on the balcony when Avu showed herself up there, holding a dress.

Avu: Siddharth, look, and tell me how it is.

Sidd (looking at the dress): It's nice.

Avu: Alright then, I will wear it on the wedding day.

Sidd just smiled and looked in front. He was oddly silent, which was noticed by Avneet. She dragged his arm and made him look at her.

Avu: Why are you sad like this? Don't you want to marry me?

Sidd (shaking his head): No, it's nothing like that. Actually, I was missing dada and seeing all this. It reminded me how I was in the place where Jai is today.

He said, looking down at Jai, who was busy ordering around participating in the decoration. Avu looked at Sidd and suddenly held his hand in her grip.

Avu: I promise Sidd. Just let us get married, and then I will prove your innocence in front of everyone.

Sidd (looking into her eyes): No Avneet. You have already done a lot to me. You just held me in my hard time. You believed me to be a stranger. You supported me, made me strong, but now it's my turn.

Sidd (looking in front): I will prove to Dada that I am innocent than no matter what I do and whatnot. I will prove to him that I am not a cheater. I will find out the person who brainwashed my dada against me.

Avu smiled, hearing him. She patted his shoulder with a proud smile.

Avu (kissing his cheek): That's like my Siddharth.

Sidd (kissing her forehead): only yours.

They smiled as they got lost in the ocean of each other's eyes. Where hazel brown orbs crossed dark black eyeballs.
