Sidharth goes around the vicinity asking everyone if they have seen the girl in the picture in his mobile. He goes to Aisha's house as well but he couldn't find her anywhere.

He gets call from his brother Alok asking him to come home immediately. He goes to his hometown which was an hour drive.

When he enters the compound he finds Aisha standing infront in a bridal dress in the veranda. He sighs and smiles but she had no smile looking at him, she turns her face to look at Akhilesh who was sitting on an armchair rocking forward and backward.

Akhilesh: Welcome! Welcome Sir! You were about to make your forefathers proud of you by marrying this imposter! But unfortunately, I abducted her on the way just in the nick of time.

Sidharth: You abducted her? Why babuji? Why are you so adamant to spoil my happiness? Just because I wanted to marry her, you abducted her.

Akhilesh: Shabhas!! Bravo!! The boy who had feared to even breathe loudly in front of me, got so much guts to question me? This girl has nicely hypnotized you, I must say.

Sidharth: It's not fear babuji, it was respect. But I have the guts to call out wrong as wrong even if it's my own father.

Akhilesh: Good! So you have decided what's wrong and what's right by yourself? Without giving chance to the other party to put forward his point of view or his story. Listen to the story now. Speak up Ginni!

Sidharth: Who is Ginni? She is Aisha.

Akhilesh: (shows palm to Sidharth and screams at Aisha) I said Speak up Ginni!

Aisha trembled like a dry leaf at his harsh tone.

Aisha: My name is Ginni. I work for your rival political party. He paid me to use Sidharth, lur him and marry him. He wanted me to spoil your name and reputation.

Sidharth: What? This can't be true. Aisha no need to fear and chant the script given by my father.

Akhilesh: Oh! Now this imposter is more important than your own father to you that you don't trust me. Good! Alok send him the video. Yes, you can verify the authentication of the video yourself.

Sidharth checks the video where Ginni was talking to a person from rival. His blood boils at her intimacy with the person.

He looks dagger at her. Ginni puts her face down in guilt.

Sidharth: Get lost from here before I do something which I might regret in future.

Ginni runs away getting scared. Sidharth takes a U-turn and goes back to the city.

Janvi: What am I hearing Sana? You married someone else by mistake. It's like your parcel getting delivered to a wrong address.

Sana stares at her.

Janvi: Sorry, is he handsome or atleast better looking than Deepak Mishra?

Sana gives her a cold stare again.

Janvi: Sorry, but why did you leave him and came back?

Sana: What rubbish are you speaking Janvi. Is this the way you react to such kind of tragedy?

Janvi: Sorry, I don't know how to react because it's my first hand experience listening to story like this.

Sana: What? Do you think I go through this everyday? That I go to a mass wedding pandal and just marry any random guy and come back home?

Janvi: No, Sounds funny though you were exactly doing the same. How different was Deepak then the person you married? You had never met him as well.

Sana: I don't know where is Rudhra Bhaiya as well. He will go mad if he learns that I created a blunder by marrying someone else than Deepak. That someone whom I forgot to ask his name as well.

Janvi: Come on that wasn't your fault. It's your bhaiya's fault. He was the one who said your number was 99 instead of 66.

Sana: But I should have confirmed before the start of rituals.

Janvi: (laughs) I am wondering how Deepak and the other girl would have reacted. (Sana stares) Sorry!! (Puppy face)

Sidharth sat on his bed pondering

I asked Shehnaaz to leave and she just went away without questioning about what would be her future. Did I do justice to her? I didn't even take any contact details from her. I could have checked on her and inquired how she was coping up.

If Aisha, I mean Ginni didn't marry Deepak where did he go? And if Ginni didn't reach the venue then who sent me the letter? Deepak's address was also destroyed, the badges were missing, she wore a long veil while all other brides only covered their head and not the entire face. Did Shehnaaz double cross me?

But if she did then she wouldn't have left me. What's the motive? Do I tell this to babuji? No! I already had a minor differences with him due to Ginni. I can't risk facing his wrath again. No body knows that I married Shehnaaz except me and her. I'll just hide it.

Sana stayed at Janvi's home. Janvi went to office and Sana resumed her job hunt. Sana gets a call from an unknown number.

Sana: Hello

Jagdish: Hey Sana, how are you?

Sana: I am fine. May I know who is this?

Jagdish: This is Jagdish. I worked in HR department in your previous company.

Sana: Hi Jagdish. I still didn't recognize you though.

Jagdish: You never noticed me. I had been always secretly admiring your beauty and since you left the job, I miss you so much. I don't feel like eating neither I feel like sleeping or even visiting a toilet.

Sana: Ewww.. that's gross! I think you should see a doctor. You might have got jaundice, insomnia and constipation.

Jagdish: No! I don't need a doctor, I need to see you. Only you can treat me.

Sana: I understand! But home medicine can be dangerous, if you neglect your health then you might end up in ICU and then you might even die.

Jagdish: I am already dead and useless without you. Why don't you understand, I have fallen head over heals for you.

Sana: My sympathies with you! Get well soon! Bye!!

Arthur: Hey hey hey!! Hold on, this is RJ Arthur from 96.4 Hot Chilli FM and it was a prank call. You were nominated for bakra by your friend Janvi. But I must say, you were awesome with befitting answers.

Sana: Thanks Mr. Arthur for the compliment and for providing lift the other day in urgency.

Arthur: Pleasure is mine! For now, I will play a song of your choice. Tell me what would you like to listen to..

Sana: Zindagi ne zindagi bhar gham diye..

Arthur: Woooo, that's some heart breaking song though.. I pray that may your zindagi be full of happiness.. coming up just for you.. have a great day Sana and take care!

(Song plays)

Sana immediately turns on the radio. There was a lag in telecaste so she heard their conversation again and smiled. Her requested music played and that day she heard his full show and laughed at every prank he pulled on others.

It was amost over 30 minutes, Sidharth looked at Sana's number that he saved on his phone. He noted it down when he pulled prank on her on the show. He wanted to call her and speak to her but he just didn't know how she would react or what would she think about him.

After the incident with Ginni and then the marriage with Shehnaaz, he felt emotionally exhausted and drained. He needed a friend to talk to who wouldn't ask anything about his past or judge him. He felt Sana was just the right person to talk to. She was a stranger yet he felt her closest to his heart.

After a lot of hesitation, he decides to message her.

"Hi Sana, this is RJ Arthur! I am sorry to message you personally but I am so overwhelmed with your good qualities that I felt you will make a good friend. Let me know if you feel my approach uncomfortable or inappropriate, I won't trouble you."

He hits the send button and awaits her reply eagerly.

It had been more than an hour but there was no reply from her. He checks the message box everytime as the mother of a new born checks her baby's diaper for surprise.

He has his dinner checking his phone after every bite. He brushes his teeth and decides to see his phone one last time before he goes to sleep. The moment he picks up the phone, it beeps. His eyes open wide and shines as he finds her name flashing on the screen.
