As soon as, Sana reaches her home, she runs into her room and opens her blouse to express the milk. It was painful to hold on for long.

Sunaina follows her to her room as she had been sulking softly the whole way. Sana pulks her blouse immediately but Sunaina spots the wetness over her clothes. She gets shocked to see her lactating. Upon asking, she expresses that she doesn't want to discuss anything about it.

What would I tell you amma? He was standing with Chandini. I don't blame him as well, they tell each other everything about themselves and their life. I have never opened up myself. Their thinkings and ideologies match whereas I can't even put my points properly. I don't have any proofs to say that I am right whereas she has everything in her favour. I left him without giving reason. I hid my actual identity from him. After all this, why would he trust me over her?

"Sana, now that Shekar is out, what if he tries to harm you once again?", Asked Sunaina.

"I've arranged a security guard for us. So don't be scared maa.", Said Sana.

Sidharth waved his hand to stop a taxi. As the taxi pulled over near him, he got into it holding little Aadhya.

"Where do you want to go, Sir?", Asked the driver.

"Sana's house..", said Sidharth

"Sana, who?", Asked the driver.

Sidharth looked at him lost.

"Sir, the address please?", Said the driver.

"Sha... Shanaya Kapoor?", He muttered.

"You mean the famous model Shanaya?", Asked the driver.

Sidharth nodded his head reluctantly.

The driver immediately turned on the metre and  started driving. As the car moved, the driver started chatting.

"Sir, are you her fan or you know her personally?", Asked the driver.

"Huh?", Sidharth asked coming out of his thoughts.

"I am her big fan Sir. Check the magazines behind your headrest, Sir.", Said the driver.

"Hmmm..", Sidharth hummed and pulled out the magazine and looked at it.

As Sidharth looked at her pictures in the magazine, Aadhya grabbed her picture in her hand.

"Mumm-aaaa", Aadhya squeaked her first word in a baby tone with her dribbling wet mouth. Sidharth's eyes widened in surprise to hear it. His lips formed a curve in happiness to hear her speak. The shine and love which Aadhya held in her eyes looking at Shehnaaz brought a gush of tears in his eyes.

"Sidharth.. Is this happening for real? And did you say your Sana? When was she yours? Maybe you want her and Aadhya as well but does she want you? If she did, then would she have left you now? With what right would you ask her to be with you? She has already rejected your proposal and do you think Shanaya Kapoor would want to be your child's nanny anymore?", He remembered Chandini's word.

When I said I love you Sana, it meant that I trust you Sana as well. But it looks like you don't trust me nor do you love me.

"Sir, you've arrived at your destination", said the driver.

"Huh?", He looked around and the driver pointed at the big bungalow.

"Hmmm.. your fare..", said Sidharth forwarding him the money.

"Sir, you can keep the money. Instead can you please ask Shanaya Kapoor to give me an autograph and a selfie please?", Asked the driver.

Sidharth blankly stared at bungalow and then at the driver. He shoved the money into driver's hand and picked up Aadhya. Driver frowned on not getting any favourable reply from Sidharth. Sodharth got down from the car and went towards the gate where the security guard stopped him.

"Who do you want to meet?", Asked the guard.

"Sana..", said Sidharth

"There is nobody named Sana here.", Said the guard.

"Shanaya..", said Sidharth

"Who are you? How are you related to Shanaya Ma'am?", Asked the guard.

Am I doing right by wanting to go to her house? Will she want us in her life?

"I.. I.. I am..", he didn't know what exactly was his relationship with her. He loved her but she never said she loved him.

"Oh!! You are her fan? Sorry, but Shanaya ma'am doesn't want to meet her fans.", Said the guard looking at Sana's pictures in Aadhya's hand.

Sidharth pressed his lips thin and took a step back.

"Excuse me, Mister. Those are my cutouts. I paid money to purchase those magazines which your child is holding right now.", Said the driver.

"S.. sorry..", said Sidharth pulling the magazine cutouts from Aadhya's tiny hands.

Aadhya screamed and shrieked upon losing the pictures. She cried loudly throwing a tantrum to get back her source of happiness. The driver took the picture away and her cries grew even louder.

"Aadhya.. baby.. please, be quiet sweetheart.. papa will get you another picture of mumma..", said Sidharth who was having a difficult time holding her straight as she wriggled in his hand.

He pulled out his phone to search Sana's picture online but Aadhya smacked his phone and it fell down and lay open in three parts. Sidharth looked down at the parts helplessly.

"Aadhya.. stop it!!", He yelled.

Aadhya's face showed agony upon his scolding and she started crying bitterly. He bent down to pick up the phone.

"Aadhyaaaa... My baby..", Sidharth's hand froze to hear Sana's voice. He looked up and saw Sana racing close to them.

She grabbed Aadhya from his hand and kissed her all over her face and hugged her close to her heart.

Aadhya stopped crying but her sobs were still audible. Sidharth picked up the mobile parts and looked at her. Aadhya squeezed Sana's breast signalling her to feed her breastmilk. Sidharth looked down silently not knowing what to speak. Sana glanced at him. His mere presence at her residence brought a kind of solace to her heart. He hasn't left her, she thought.

"Sidharth, come inside.", she said.

Sidharth nodded his head to agree.

"Shanaya Ma'am.. Autograph please?", Asked the driver who dropped Sidharth there.

Sana looked at Sidharth who looked elsewhere.

"I got them in my taxi. I am your big fan.", Said the driver. Sana nodded her head and wrote an autograph, he then asked for a selfie. Sidharth forwarded his hand to take Aadhya but Aadhya refused to leave Sana so she covers Aadhya's face before posing for selfie. After the driver leaves, she gestures to Sidharth to come with her and he follows her.

As she walked inside, Aadhya pulled her blouse continuously.

"Mumm-aaaa", blabbered Aadhya.

Sana froze at once and Sidharth bumped her from back. Sana turned around and looked at Sidharth in surprise.

"Sorr..", his apology was interrupted by her choking voice.

"Sidharth.. she said Mumma..", she said with a tearfilled smile.

He nodded his head gazing at her.

"She called me Mumma.. Sidharth.", Exclaimed Sana with her shining eyes. Her tears flew down her cheeks.

"Yes, Sana. I heard it a few minutes back in the car myself. Her first word.", He smiled wiping her tears.

"Did she? Really? (He nods) Aadhya.. my sweetheart.. can you say mumma again?", Said Sana

"Mumm-aaaa", said Aadhya.

"Oh!! My bachcha!!", She gasped as she hugged her with all her love and cried emotionally.

"Why are you crying Sana? Aren't you the one suppose to be happy and me who should cry because I expected her to say Papa first.", He said to lighten her mood.

She chuckled in between her sulks and hugged him instantly. He held back his emotional tears from flowing out by biting his lips and put his huge arms around her taking his two most precious people into his embrace. She felt complete and so did he.

"I am sorry Sidharth", she cried into his chest.

"For what?", He asked patting her back.

"For leaving you and Aadhya without giving any reasons.", She sobbed.

He felt silent and numb for few minutes.

"I am sorry Sana for hurting you with my questions that day. I trust you and I promise you that I will never ask you any questions. Please don't ever leave me and Aadhya again.", He broke down.

She nodded to say no hiding herself more closer into his chest.

"I won't.. I won't..", she said.

They stood there for sometime more at the main door entrance of her bungalow. Sunaina wiped her tears and watched them silently standing at the door.

"Mumm-aaaa", said Aadhya pulling her blouse.

"Sidharth, I need to feed her.", mumbled Sana and he losened his grip on her. She looked at her mother standing at the door in surprise.

"Sidharth.. that's my mother..", she introduced. He immediately bent and touched her feet in respect and to take her blessing. Sunaina hesitantly and shyly blessed him.

"Maa, he is Sidharth..", Sana pauses not knowing what name she would call their relationship.

"And this is my cutie pie, apple of my eye, my life, my little sweetheart, my baby, Aadhya", introduced Sana.

"Adorable.. she reminds me of you being a baby.", Sunaina smiled and caressed the little baby's head with utmost love and blessing.

"Maa.. I'll be right back, please talk to him until then.", Excused Sana and took Aadhya upstairs to her room. While Aadhya impatiently jumped in joy looking at her pull up her blouse and unclasp her bra, Sana smiled from ear to ear. The moment Aadhya placed her mouth on the sore nipples, Sana gasped. Aadhya greedily sucked up on the source of motherhood, choking herself multiple times and getting sweetly scolded by Sana.

Sunaina and Sidharth sat in the hall not knowing what to converse.

"Do.. do you stay in this same city?", Asked Sunaina.

"No maa..", he paused and looked at her nervously.

"It's okay.. You can call me maa.. You must be about Sana's age itself.", Said Sunaina.

"Hmm.. I am two years elder to her.", He said.

"My eldest daughter, Saira was 5 years elder to Sana.", Said Sunaina.

"Was?", Sidharth looked at her puzzled.

"Hmmm.. I had 4 more daughters apart from Sana. I lost them all 26 years ago.", Said Sunaina emotionally.

"Lost? Didn't you make an attempt to find them?", Said Sidharth.

"Sana's cruel father murdered them all infront of my eyes.", Said Sunaina.

"What? But why?", Asked Sidharth.

"Because he considered us burden and liability. He wanted to kill me and Sana as well but I escaped and sent him to jail but he escaped from the jail 10 years back and tortured me all these years. Sana didn't leave you, she just came to save me from their trap.", Explained Sunaina.

"Ohh God!! Their trap? Who else?", Asked Sidharth.

"The one who married Sana 10 years back, Shekar Kapoor alias Tarun.", Said Sunaina.

"But Tarun is my friend Chandini's husband. I think Sana was mistaken.", Said Sidharth.

"So, you don't trust Sana?", She asked.

"I do.. that's why I am here and I am not saying Sana is lying. I said she must be mistaken.", Advocated Sidharth.

"Do you think even I am mistaken? He teamed up with Sana's father, Asim and kidnapped me as well to threaten Sana to write her will in his name. Just because she doesn't have any evidence, she can't be proved wrong or mistaken. Shekar is very cunning person who is as cruel as Asim. He killed her unborn babies in her womb without her knowledge so that she doesn't stop modelling. She spent 10 years with that man, and you think she can be mistaken?", Said Sunaina.

"I.. I.. didn't know anything about all this maa.. I am sorry..", said Sidharth putting his head down while feeling guilty for thinking that she was mistaken.

"Do you love her?", Asked Sunaina.

"Huh?", Sidharth looked up in surprise.

"Do you love Sana?", She asked again.

"More than myself.", He said.

"Then don't leave her Sidharth. She has been through a lot of pain in life. I found her happy with you. I beg you.", Sunaina folded her hands.

"Maa.. please.. I love her and I promise to be with her.", He said holding her hand.
