Ani went in room and saw Shiv putting his files in bag.

Ani: Shivaay

Shiv: Anika agar Sid ke baare mein baat karni hai to mujhe nhi karni

Ani: Shivaay beta hai wo hamara. Usko bolna ki tu mere lie exist nhi karta. Wo bhi to theek nhi

Shiv: Anika mein dushman nhi hu uska. Bohot pyaar karta hu usse. Sirf uska achha hi chahta hu

Ani: In understand par

Shiv: Anika mein usse pyaar se samjhake dekh chuka hu. Uski galatiyon ko ignore bhi karta hu ki ab wo bada ho gya hai, samajhdhaar ho gya hai. Usko daantte nhi achha lagta. Par wo nhi samajhta pyaar se. To ab mujhe apne tareeke se samjhane do. Mujhe uske saath sakhti karni hi hogi. Agar aese hi usko paise milte rahenge, na to usse unn paiso ki kadar hogi na wo khud kamaega. Aur Anika agar wo tumhara beta hai na to mera bhi hai. Tumhara ladla hai na, hum dono ka bhi utna hi hai. Uske saath kuch galat karna to door soch bhi nhi sakta mein. Mein nhi chahta kal ko usse apni life mein koi bhi problem ho. Please try to understand me. Trust me. Mein hamare bete ke saath kuch bhi galat nhi kar raha hu. Hnn bass thoda strictness use kar raha hu. Aur tum mujhe aesa karne se bilkul bhi nhi rokogi

Ani nodded

Ani: Okk

Shiv: Aur usse mujhse chori chhupe paise dene ki koshish ki to mujhse bura koi nhi hoga

Ani: Nhi doongi

Meanwhile with Vaish

Vaish took something to eat and went on terrace. Sid was sitting on a swing looking up in sky. Vaish went near him and sat beside him quitely. He realized his presence though she didn't speak anything. They sat in silence for sometime looking at stars.

Sid: Dii

It came out as a mere whisper.

Vaish: Hmm?

Sid: Am I that bad that dad keep scolding me and today he said so many bitter things?

Vaish shooked her head.

Vaish: You are not

Sid: Then why?

Vaish: Dekho Sid. Jitna tumhe papa pyaar karte hai na utna koi nhi karta iss duniya mein. Bachpan se lekar aaj tak jitna unhone hamare lie kia hai utna koi kar hi nhi sakta tha. In fact dono ne. Inspite of all odds, they stood together. Itna bada empire khada kia apne hard work aur efforts se. Kiske lie? Hamare lie Hume itna padaya likhaya, kabhi koi problem nhi aane di. Aur jitni expectations aaj dad ko tujhse hai na utni tujhe khud ko bhi nhi hai. Jab tu mujhe kisi kaam ke lie bolta hai na ki di mujhse nhi hoga. Shayad tujhe apne upar vishwas nhi hai par dad ne tujhpar bharosa karna kabhi nhi chhoda

Sid was listening to her quitely.

Vaish: Aur sirf dad ko hi kyu mujhe aur mom ko bhi tujhpar poora bharosa hai ki tu kar sakta hai aur ek din karke dikhaega. Hum sab tujhe successful aur independent dekhna chahte. Hum nhi chahte ki tujhe apni zaroorato ke lie kisise paise maangne pade chahe wo teri apni family kyu na ho. Halaki ye jo paise hai no doubt tere hi hai. Par Sid hum sirf itna chahte hai ki tu khud kamaye. Chal maan le kal ko God forbidden mujhe ya dad ko kuch bhi ho gya, to tu kya karega? Kaha jaega? Aur kuch na bhi ho tu itna capable hai ki tu kama sakta hai. Physically, mentally you are capable enough to earn

She looked at his face. He was still looking upwards listening to her.

Vaish: Aur ye kabhi matt kehna ya sochna ki tu bura hai. Ya dad ko tujhse koi problem hai. Hoti na to kab ki umeedein chhod di hoti tujhse. Lekin unko aaj bhi tujh par utna hi trust hai jitna pehle tha. Unka ye trust matt todna please

She took plate and made a bite and forwarded it towards him. He shooked his head.

Sid: Mujhe bhookh nhi hai di

Vaish: Khaane par gussa nhi nikalte. Khale thoda sa

Sid again shooked his head.

Vaish: Tujhe pata hai Sid jab tu bhookhe pet sota hai na to humme se kisiko bhi neend nhi aati. Dad ko bhi nhi. Wo dikhate nhi hai par apni jaan se badkar chahte hai tujhe. Please thoda sa khale. Apne lie nhi. Mere lie nhi to mom dad ke lie hi sahi

Sid looked at her face then ate bite from her hand. He took spoon and forwarded towards her.

Sid: Aapne bhi to nhi khaya na

Vaish ate from his hand. They finished the food feeding each other.
