Shantiben: Sana, Where is Sidharth?

Sana: How would I know? I asked him that when I don't consider the marriage with him then why should I sign the divorce papers.

Shantiben: And then?

Sana: I told him that he is free to marry anyone and I wouldn't create any problem for him.

Shantiben: Su vaat kari che? {What are you saying?} What did he do?

Sana: He just walked away.

Shantiben: Are you gone mad? Why did you break your marriage?

Sana: Amma, you only got the divorce papers from him in the morning. He wanted to break the marriage himself. Don't blame me for his action.

Shantiben: (She looks at the ceiling with folded hand) Oh Krishna! Why did you forget to put some brain into her head?

Sana rolls her eyes in disapproval.

Sana: By the way Amma I have some important work commitment from the music company which needs me to travel out of the town. I had been waiting for you to return to inform you before leaving.

Shantiben: (frowns) Do as you wish. I wish your father had taken me along with him.

Sana: Ufff.. Amma, he went to heaven and not on picnic to take you along. You need to do good work to enter heaven.

Shantiben: Hmmm...(lost in her thought)

Sana picks up her bag and leaves. Shantiben realises what she spoke after leaving.

Shantiben: Huhh? Sana? (She was gone) Did she mean that I haven't done any good deed and would end up in hell? Bhagavaan aavi dikri koine na aape. {God, don't give such daughter to anyone} What do I do now?

She tries calling Sidharth on his mobile which goes unanswered as it was switched off. She bites her nail in nervousness. She calls his home telephone and it is received by Radha.

Radha: Hello

Shantiben: (Oh Krishna! I can't speak to this lady)

Shantiben disconnects the call and tries again after 5 minutes but it was again picked up by Radha.

Radha: Hello

Shantiben: Hello, I am calling from Airtel company. Can I speak to Sidharth Sharma please?

Radha: There no one with the name Sidharth Sharma here. Call him on his mobile.

Shantiben: What? Aren't you Radha Sharma?

Radha: I am. Who are you?

Shantiben: Aa... Aaa.. Jai Shri Krishna Radhaben, this is Shantiben, Sana's mother.

Radha: Oh! Jai Shri Krishna.

Shantiben: Radhaben, where is Sidharth?

Radha: I had given him ultimatum to get Sana home, but he didn't so he left the house.

Shantiben: What? Sidharth had come home but Sana said that she doesn't consider their marriage as a marriage and that he is free to marry any one else. He left her in anger and went.

Radha: What are you talking? Why did she deny now?

Shantiben: Our kids have turned rogue. (Starts crying)

Radha: Shantiben I think we should try to bring them together. Stop crying. Things are going out of our hand, we need to act.

Shantiben: But Sidharth's phone is not reachable and Sana is out of town. How do we bring them together?

Radha: Sana is out of town? It's her music launch today and she has decided to come infront of the public which she wanted to keep as secret until today. She lost some weight as well for that and did some grooming for it.

Shantiben: What? And we thought she was having an affair with someone probably. You two were in touch with each other?

Radha: Yes, I wanted Sidharth to genuinely understand his mistake but things have gone wrong.

Shantiben: Shall we go to the music launch and check?

Radha: How would we go? We don't have a pass?  I couldn't meet her since past 2 days.

Shantiben: Will stand outside the hall until she returns.

Radha: Good idea. You get ready and I will come and pick you up.

In SVG auditorium's makeup room.

Sana: I am so nervous Sidharth. I will be facing my audience today. I had lost my self confidence after my viral video in 12th standard. I gained the self confidence to come infront of public but now the thought of it is giving me chills down the vein.

Sidharth: Don't be afraid Sana. I am with you. If you get too scared just look at me in the crowd and think that you are singing for me. You can do it sweetheart.

Sana: (nods) Hmmm..

Sidharth: Come here!

He pulls her into a warm hug which she needed at that moment to fight her fear of facing public. He patted and caressed her back. She hugged him with cold hands and he held her hands and stroked it to turn them back to normal.

Sidharth: You will be fine sweetheart. Your voice is so melodious and soothing. Once you start singing they will be spell bound. You can take it in writing from me. You are going to kill it on stage and I will be the proudest to hear people cheer for you. You are born to shine.

She kept looking into his eyes and his words filled her heart with limitless love for him. He was the only person to cheer her after her father.

Sana: I am missing my Pappa. He would have been happiest today.

Sidharth: He is.. he is and when you stand on the stage you can see him standing among the crowd. He will be so proud of you.

Sana: Yes. (Tearful smile)

He hugs her tightly.

Sidharth: I love you.

She smiles with a blush, her heart was pounding as she wanted to say the same words to him for the first time. However, there was a knock on the door and they ask her to come to the backstage. He nods to assure her she will do her best and quickly pecks her forehead. He heads to go hall to stand with the crowd infront of the stage.

Host: Four months back we had a winner of our India's Great Singer award via our YouTube channel. The video without a face which got millions of views, likes and votes was a winner. We are going to witness the greatest singing sensation coming infront of us today. We are going to finally get a face to the melodious voice. Presenting to you, your favourite singer 'Sana' with her latest Album "Emotional Attachment"

All the light goes off and the focus is on the stage, Sana starts singing the song from her album even before she enters and the crowd was absolutely awestruck to listen to her live. The curtains open and the focus light is on her. She could hardly see anyone in the crowd due to focus light. Everyone cheers her and flash mobile lights.

She closes her eyes and opens it again as she remembered his words. She could see her father at the end of the crowd, a happy face which felt proud on her achievement. She goes closer to the crowd and finds Sidharth clapping with a brightest smile on his face. She sings her entire song looking at him and her father.

At the end of the song, the lights went on and she looks at the audience who clapped, whistled and chanted her name. She wore the most confident and glowing smile ever.

The producer of the album, the chairman of the company join her on stage and unveil the music cover of her album with her face on it. After a brief media round, she finally gets to go back to her husband, Sidharth. She rushes back to the makeup room and hugs him tightly herself.

Sana: I love you so much. This is the best day of my life. You gave me everything I ever wanted.

Sidharth: What did I give you Jaan? You already had everything you needed.

Sana: I got your love and my confidence which I never thought I would get in my life. The people who teased me, bullied me are respecting me and praising me. I know I had the talent but I feared. I would have been still an unknown face if you hadn't been a part of my life.

Sidharth: Sana, we are complimenting each other. We are incomplete without each other and I lack what you had - the kind heart, forgiving nature and truthfulness. I had confidence but I was manipulative, you bring out the best in me as well. And it's a best day of my life as well as you are part of it and as I got to know that you love me as well.
