Saanvi sneakily pulls car key from Sidharth's back pocket.

"Don't come outside (whispers).. Bye bhaabhi ", winks Saanvi by pushing Sidharth's car key into her hand.

Shehnaaz smiles looking at the key in her hand while Saxenas go out to see off the Mittals and Solankis. Sidharth feels sad because his wife was angry and didn't come to see him off. When he scans his pocket, he couldn't find his car keys.

"My keys?", He looks around puzzled.

"Bhaiyya, you forgot that you gave it to bhaabhi when we came in the morning.", Says Saanvi.

"Huh? No.. I had kept it in my pant's back pocket as usual.", Says Sidharth. Saanvi virtually facepalms.

"I saw it myself in the morning." Saanvi pressed.

"I will check with Shehnaaz", says Shehnaaz's mother.

"No, let him go Bahu", orders Ramesh.

"Yeah, let him go!! Only he can find it. Hmm.. I could have got a chair and some snacks here.", Said Somesh.

"But I am telling you that I didn't give her the keys..", says Sidharth.

"Why would I lie? If you don't believe me then keep searching", Saanvi speaks annoyed.

"Okay! Okay! Why are you getting hyper? I will check.", He sauntered inside the house thinking that his wife will not even speak to him but he was surprised when she hugs him from behind as soon as he enters the house.

"Sorry!!", She mumbled.

"I lost my car keys somewhere!", Said Sidharth scratching his head.

"What? It's with me Mittu!", Shehnaaz flashed his keys infront of him totally disappointed by the fact that her husband didn't pay attention to her apology but was worried about his car keys.

"Huh? Then Saanvi was right that I gave it to you. How come I don't remember it?", Sidharth said pondering.

"I am sure everyone outside the house knows the reason why it is with me than you.", She facepalms.

"Why?", He scratches his head in confusion

"You should seriously watch Bollywood movies for that..", she says before kissing him.

"Ummm.. what?", He said in between the kiss.

"Arghhh.. to say a romantic bye to your wife idiot. Saanvi gave that key to me while going out so that you can come in and say a proper bye to me.", She explained.

"Really? She is just 15 year old! Bollywood should be banned for giving such ideas. She is becoming a thief by watching such movies. How could she steal my car key so smoothly without my knowledge. I will speak to Maa and tell her that she should monitor what she is watching.", He went on and on ranting like a big protective brother while Shehnaaz went and sat quietly on the couch infront watching him with an expression which screamed 'why-am-I-listening-to-his-nonsense?'.

After a while she lied down on the couch comfortably with her eyes closed and he glared at her. When she couldn't hear anything, she opened her eyes and saw him.

"Oh!! You done? I thought probably my ears stopped functioning after bleeding", she sighed with a smile touching her ears and checking her fingers.

"Shehnaaz!!", He cried.

"Come on Mittu! Stop acting as if it's your company's boardroom. She just wanted us to have some good time but looks like you ain't interested in talking to your Sexyna.", She frowned.

"Sorry.. sorry.. sorry.. you know that I don't understand your Bollywood craps, right? Okay now tell me how do people say a romantic goodbye in your Bollywood movies", He asked sitting beside her.

"You will scold me..", she frowns..

"No! I won't!", He said

"Promise?", She asks

"Promise", he says.

"Hmm.. well the hero gives reason of forgetting a key or handkerchief and returns back alone inside the house.", She says.

"Okay, then?", He asks in excitement.

"Then heroine smiles and blushes looking at him.", She explains

"Okay.. what next?", He asks

"They go behind the pillar..", she says

"Pillar? What for?", He asks perplexed.

"To romance dumbo..", she pushes him back by his forehead with her finger tips.

"Wow! And how exactly do they romance behind the pillar?", He inquires.

"That's upto your imagination. We are only shown a pillar.", She says.

"What?", He glares at her.

"You promised you won't scold..", she looks at him with puppy eyes.

He laughs loudly hugging her to himself.

"Come, I'll show you what happens behind the pillar.", He says picking her up in a bridal style and taking her to her room. Closing the door behind they enjoy their little cozy make out session on the bed. He leaves a love bite on her shoulder by pushing her blouse.

"I want you back in my embrace before that mark disappears", he claims staring into her eyes. She nods before pecking his lips

"Let's go now! They all must be waiting.", Says Shehnaaz by adjusting her clothes properly looking into the mirror on the dressing table.

"I don't want to go", he whined kissing her nape and making her moan softly.

"I know that but we have to. They can't be sitting outside for us forever, right?", She asks.

"Hmmm..", He strokes his hair to set it back to its original state while Shehnaaz waits for him by hugging him by his tummy.

"Come", he says holding her close by her waist and walking out until the door. When they go out, Somesh looks at them.

"Oh, they are here!", Ramesh sighs.

"Here, pick your piece both of you", says Shehnaaz's dad offering them pizza in a box.

"Huh? Pizza?", Sidharth looks at it surprised.

"Yeah, we knew that you would take a lot of time finding the keys. So we ordered a pizza for us. He delivered it to us in just 25 minutes.", says Ramesh.

Sidharth and Shehnaaz steal a glance at each other and blush.

"Somu, you owe me 1000 bucks.", Says Ramesh.

"Arghhh.. I lost a bet because of you Sidharth..", says Somesh.

"Huh? Me? What did I do?", Sidharth asked totally confused.

"You came before we could finish the pizza. I had high hopes on you. I thought you would still take more time to find the keys.", Complained Somesh.

"Don't blame me. Blame your grand daughter in law for the loss.", Said Sidharth earning a pinch on his tummy from Shehnaaz. They all laugh when Sidharth jumps shrieking and rubs his tummy.

"Okay bye..", says Sidharth sitting in his car.

"Bye", says Shehnaaz

"See you soon", says Sidharth.

"See you..", says Shehnaaz.

"Give me a call if anything urgent okay?", Says Sidharth. She nods her head.

Somesh shook his head in disbelief looking at his grandson behave like a love sick puppy.

"Don't forget to have your food on time.", Sidharth says.

"Sidharth, it's just a matter of one day son. They are her parents, they will take good care of her. She will come back home soon..", says Somesh.

Shehnaaz chuckles as Sidharth hums and says bye again to her before driving away.

Riya's mood had been off eversince Vinay's appearance and drama hence Shehnaaz goes to accompany her as a moral support. Riya was quiet and Shehnaaz sits beside her quietly.

"What happened Riya? What are you thinking? Share with me", says Shehnaaz.

Riya nods to say nothing.

"Don't keep things within. Whatever you feel, just speak. You will feel lighter.", Said Shehnaaz.

Riya looks at her quietly for a while. A message pops up on Shehnaaz's mobile.

'I have reached home. Missing you.', read the message from Sidharth.

'Miss you too', replied Shehnaaz smiling at the screen. Riya noticed her and looked away.

"Come on dear. Vent out!", Says Shehnaaz touching her hand.

'What are you doing?',  messaged Sidharth.

Riya looked at Shehnaaz who was reading the message.

'I am sitting with Riya. Her mood is off. I will talk to you later, Mittu.', typed Shehnaaz.

"Di, why don't you go to your room and chat, please?", Said Riya feeling annoyed at her sister's divided attention.

"Sorry, it's just your jiju. I am all yours now. Let's lighten up your mood. Tell me what do you want to do? Shall we go out?", Said Shehnaaz to lift her mood.

Riya's phone rang and she looks at it. She then looks at Shehnaaz.

"Who is it? You want to speak over the phone? Should I go out?", Asks Shehnaaz.

"It's not a call. It's an alarm. I had set an alarm for today's evening show of your band. You forgot that your band 'Naadan Parindey' is performing here in the city, tonight?", She asked.

"Ohh.. hmmm.. I am no more part of it.", Said Shehnaaz feeling disappointed and depressed reminiscing how happy she felt singing on the stage.

"Di, you were the soul of the group. It was your baby. It's going to be their first show after your exit. I really want to go and see how well they can perform without you.", Said Riya.

Shehnaaz looked at Riya. She was missing her performing, the crowd which went mad for her performance. A thought passed her mind to see if they were really better without her. Beside she thought that it was the only way she could lift Riya's mood too.

"Let's go Riya.. get ready..", said Shehnaaz.

"What? Really?", Asked Riya excitedly.

"Yes. Let us also see if they can really perform well without me.", Winked Shehnaaz.

"Yes, let's go!!", Said Riya.
