"Sidharth, if the lady who died in the accident wasn't your wife then who was she?", Asked Sana as she removed the little bandaid from his chest.

"That was Gunjan", he said staring at her face.

"Huh? Gunjan? The one who you were suppose to propose 9 years back?", She asked in shock staring into his eyes.

He nods yes.

"So 9 years back she accepted your proposal and you were together?", She asked as her face falls unknowingly feeling insecured. He smiles and kisses her lips to assure that she meant everything to him.

"She cheated me the big time Sana. First she didn't reciprocate to my feelings and left me heart broken for 8 long years. When I finally was ready to move on, she crossed path with me. She lied to me that her boyfriend was blackmailing her using her intimate videos to extort money. But in actual she framed me along with her boyfriend to get heavy amount of money. They both emotionally compelled me to cheat my former employer for a huge amount of money, which I did. But before I could transfer the money to them, I caught them red handed.", He said giving her a bigger shock.

"Huh? Then what were you doing with her in the same car on the day of accident?", Sana asked curiously.

"I had recorded her telephonic conversation with her boyfriend and had that as an only proof to escape any legal case against me in the court of law for cheating. However, her blackmailer boyfriend escaped with the evidence and while I chased him, I lost the control of my car during the hustle with Gunjan.", He said.

"What about the money you took from your employer?", she asked.

"It's safe in back account. I need the proof before I return it to them else I will be trapped in the jail for lifetime.", He said.

"What? What if the blackmailer again blackmails you for money?", She asks.

"He won't since I lied to him that I transferred back the money to the company. So according to him, I don't have any money with me.", Sidharth speaks.

"Sidharth, it means we are safe only until nobody finds out that you are here. Your employer might have already complained and the police might be watching out for you. Why don't you return the money and let police handle it?", She suggests.

"But why would they trust me without any evidence Sana? For them I am a criminal because I don't have any proof of innocence", He explains.

"Hmmm.. but have you ever thought that what if your memory hadn't returned, you would have even forgotten where you've kept that money.", She says.

"Hmmmm.. True! I have written the details of that account in my email id though.", He says.

She sticks a new bandaid on the little wound lost in her thoughts. While Sidharth feels that he should confess about Agastya's accident witness.

"Sana.. I want to tell you something.", Says Sidharth.

"Yes Sidharth", she says.

"While I chased the blackmailer, he bumped into man climbing up the stairs causing him to fall. Since I had to chase the blackmailer, I cried out for help on the floor and ran down to catch the blackmailer. That man was.. was Agastya.", He bit his lips in fear and looked down.

Sana was shocked. She stood straight, her face fell and without uttering a word, went upstairs to her other room. Sidharth was feeling guilty. Her silence was excruciating than if she had spoken something against him. He wanted her to react, scold him or even beat him to feel less guilty. He went upstairs and knocked on the door calling her.

She opened the door after a lot of banging on the door by him. Her face was pale with no reaction on it. He hugged her.

"I am sorry Sana but it was purely an accident, I found out that Agastya was the same person only few days back. Please don't leave me. I can't survive without you. I have been longing for love my whole life and the mere thought of losing the one I have is choking me. Please Sana.", He pleads.

"Sidharth, your love is making me selfish. I understand it was an accident but I still need some time alone to bring back myself to believe it. I have to go back to the place where it all happened, I have some unfinished job and paperworks to do. I will return in 3 days. Take care of Manvi until then. Manju will be there to do all the work though.", She says.

"Thanks for giving me the time, Sana. I will wait for you.", He says.
.
.
.
He kisses her forehead and Sana leaves.

Sidharth takes care of the house and Manvi in her absence. He even gives bath to Manvi, dresses her up, feeds her the food, plays with her and co-sleeps with her. He was proper parenting her. Since his wound was healed, he even drove to market with Manvi and bought groceries while Manju helped him in household chores. Since Sana had told him that she needs some time alone, he doesn't call her.

3 days later.

The door bell rings. Sidharth was expecting Sana, so he runs to attend the door. To his dismay, it wasn't Sana but the group of localites who stood at the door of the mansion. When he enquires about them and the purpose, they tell him that Sana had hired them for the wedding decorations.

His feels depressed thinking that after their last conversation, he was unsure if the marriage would really happen now or atleast in the near future. He didn't know what to reply them.

"I am sorry. She isn't here so we are unsure about the services. I will still pay you the wages since I didn't inform you earlier.", He says.

Just then a car stops at the door. When he finds Sana getting down from it, he rushes towards her and hugs her. Sana looks at the people who put their head down feeling shy to find them hugging.

"Sidharth, wait. Those people are looking at us. Are they?", She says.

"Yes Sana, they were hired by you to decorate the mansion for the wedding. But don't worry, I asked them to leave.", He says.

"Why?", She asks.

"Huh? Because you asked for some time to think and be alone.", He says.

"No Sidharth, we are getting married today.", She says with a smile.

His happiness was visible in his eyes as it gleamed. He holds her arms wanting to kiss her but controls his desire due to the people standing there.

Sana walks upto the wage labourers and instructs them to go ahead with the decoration. She and Sidharth go to their room where she gives him the groom's dress which she had shopped for him. Sidharth was excited, he keeps the dress on the bed and captures her lips in his. She reciprocates to him with the same amount of love he had for her.

"I love you so much Sana. I missed you", he admits.

"The time I stayed away from you Sidharth, made me realise that I love you more than anything in this world. I missed you too.", She says.

The two kiss again later which she shows him that she had bought herself a bridal wear and traditional clothes for Manvi and Manju as well. By the evening, they were dressed up and ready for the wedding. The mansion was decorated beautifully and the priest had arrived.

They take the seven vows infront of sacred fire. Post the priest declares them married Sidharth holds Sana's hand and looks into her eyes infront of sacred fire..

"I take my eighth vow to love Manvi as much as any parent would love their child and in future when we have other child, I will continue to love her as much as I do now.", He says and picks Manvi in his arms.

Sana smiles with teary eyes nodding to him.

"Mummaa", says Manvi jumping to Sana.

As she holds Manvi, Sana finally gives up to crying uncontrollably. He hugs both of them while consoling Sana.

"Sweetheart, she called you Mummaa.. Aren't you happy?", Sidharth asks.

"I am.. I can't express how much happy I am..", says Sana sulking in his embrace.

After devouring the wedding feast, the three go to their room. Sidharth holds Manvi to his chest and soon she falls asleep. He places her in the crib. Sana comes closer and hugs him. The two kiss and make love on their nuptial night. While Sidharth was fast asleep keeping his head on his wife's bare chest, Sana caressed his hair slowly lost in her thoughts.

Sana's POV:

Finally I have given up all my previous identity only to be called as Sana Sidharth Rahane. I never thought I would fall for Sidharth.

Flashback:

Agastya is climbing up the stairs while speaking on the phone.

"Paa will be home soon to my dearest kuchi-poo.. I love you my darling..", he speaks to his little bundle of joy, Manvi over the phone.

"Okay, Agastya.. I'll disconnect now", said Shehnaaz.

"Thanks Shehnaaz, for taking care of Manvi, while I am at work. I would have worked from home today as well if it wasn't urgent.", Says Agastya.

"Agastya, please don't say thanks. It was anyways my day off. Manvi is not just your daughter alone. I am doing this for my best friend, Sana. She may not be here with us but I see Sana in Manvi.", Says Shehnaaz.

"I wouldn't have survived if it wasn't for Manvi, Shehnaaz.", Said Agastya.

"Please don't utter such words Agastya. Console yourself.", Said Shehnaaz.

"Hmm.. anyways! Take care of yourself and eat your lunch as well. Don't skip it while taking care of Manvi.", Said Agastya.

"I will Agastya", she said.

"I will be home soon Sana", he said while disconnecting the phone.

Shehnaaz chuckled since Agastya by mistakenly called her Sana. It had been a month since Sana was gone in an accident. Shehnaaz was Sana's neighbour and best friend, who worked as an undercover officer. It was during her one of the assignment that she had to join a dance classes where Sana was also a dance student. The two instantly bonded well.

Shehnaaz always took admiring for Sana's love life. Her work always wanted her to be travelling which hardly allowed her to find love.

Shehnaaz was in between her assignment when Sana met with an unfortunate accident. Agastya was now a single father. While he had a nanny to help, he preferred to be always around Manvi but whenever he wanted to go out leaving Manvi, he would trust Sana's friend to keep an eye on Manvi. Shehnaaz would happily help Agastya because she liked Manvi.

One day while Manvi was sleeping, Shehnaaz went to the study area, where she randomly chose a book to read which turned out to be Sana's diary. She started reading it and as she progressed reading it, she unknowingly started taking liking for Agastya. With every page she flipped, she felt nearer and nearer to Agastya, as if she was Sana herself. When she read Sana loved to hear his heart beat, she wanted to hear his heart beats too.

Her thought was broken when she gets a call from her boss. She was assigned a new project. She received a file which detailed about a person named Sidharth Rahane, who had committed a fraud against a multinational company and absconded to a different state. The investigating officer from the area of crime informed that he was in the same city as Sana hence the case was now transferred to her.

While she looked at the files, she gets a news of Agastya's accidental fall from the stairs. His condition was critical when he was taken to the hospital hence he didn't survive.

She remembers his last words. "I'll be home soon Sana", indeed his words were granted. He was with his wife Sana in another world.

He had pledged his organ while he was still alive hence his organ was transferred to various people.

It was then she learnt that his heart was transferred into a person named Sidharth Rahane's body. He was the same person she had to track. She disguised herself as his wife and waited for him to gain consciousness as she had to find out about the missing fund. She took care of him the same way a wife does not to draw suspicion.

During this time, she learnt that Agastya had made a will in which it stated that Shehnaaz will be Manvi's guardian and trustee to take care of her in any unforeseen event. The sudden loss of his wife had made him to make a will. The feelings she had for him became stronger even after his demise. She often kept her head on Sidharth's chest to hear Agastya's heart beat. She wanted to preserve that beautiful heart even if it was in a fraudster's rib cage, she thought.

When Sidharth wakes up with no memory, she poses to him as his wife to stay with him until whenever he remembers where he had hidden the money. She deliberately leaves her phone in his room to find out if he was really an amnesia patient or not and if he tries to contact someone in her absence. Though he didn't call anyone his internet activity raises a doubt that he might have gained his memory. She keeps acting as Sana though she was already behaving like one unknowingly due to the diary.

To make him feel secured and win his confidence, she takes permission to shift him to a remote area. When she realises that he was attracted to her but nevertheless tries escaping into woods she shows him how vulnerable was Sana as a wife. Sidharth returns back to mansion, but his love towards her starts to overwrite the feelings she had developed for Agastya. Staying with him and observing him closely makes her believe that he couldn't be a fugitive. She reciprocates to his love but was still in dilemma as she had to make him confess that his memory has returned. So her team mate appears infront of Sidharth as her brother and blackmails Sana. This makes him confess to her that he remembers every thing. That way she slowly learns where the money was.

Her love for him creates a fear of losing him so she takes 3 days time and goes back to the place where it all began. She finds the blackmailer in that time and with the help of hacker, she gets the money transferred back to Sidharth's former employer. She smartly plans everything so carefully that all the blame was on the blackmailer instead of Sidharth. She then quits her job and returns back to her love, Sidharth forever.

Flashback ends.
