Sid- Beta Yeh Aapki Chachi hain!

Rau- Hi Chachi!

Sa- Hi Bacche! Aapka naam kya hain?

Rau- Raunak Dev Nagarkar!

Sa- Wow! Aap toh Bohut Handsome ho!

Sid- Jaa Raunak Jaake Khel!

Aai- Yes Beta! And Shehnaz Aao Mere saath!

Shehnaz got up and went to Her, She was helping  Aai in the Kitchen, When Aai came and Caressed het hair. Shehnaz just smiled at her. Aai was stirring the Curry and telling her Sidharth's childhood stories which Shehnaz was hearing keenly. Sidharth who came into the Kitchen for drinking water got lost seeing Shehnaz laughing Wholeheartedly but she stopped laughing when she felt Sidharth's presence. Sensing that Sidharth's Heart ached still he Ignored cause He knows that Getting attached yo her will only led him to the Destruction. Sidharth just came and took the Bottle.

Aai- Beta Tum Khush ho na Mere Bete ke saath?

Sa- Ji Aai! Main khush hoon!

Aai- Beta Please Don't Ever leave him!

Sana just bowed her head when Sidharth came Cutting off Aai's Conversation and informed them that It's Already late, Also They Have to Leave after the Dinner. As soon as Sidharth took the Seat, His mouth watered Seeing all his favourite Maharashtrian Delicacies, He just looked at Aai like a 3 year old Kid who has got his favourite Set Of toy Suddenly. He quickly started eating the food. The dinner went quite well, Chatting and Joking around. Suddenly Aai stood up and went to Her room. Opening the Cupboard She took out an envelope and A velvety jewellery box. Taking those two Things she came down and Smiled seeing Shehnaz. She just sat beside her and Caressed her Hair.

Aai- Beta ! Yeh!

Sana- Auntyji yeh sab?

Aai- Beta Pehele toh yeh Auntyji bolna Band kro. Aai Bulao, Main Sidharth ki Aai hu toh tumhari bhi Huwi na.

Sana became Emotional knowing the real meaning of Aai. She never had anyone to Call Aai, Mom aur Amma. She only had her Father who played the role of a Mother and a Father. She only had her Father who used to feed her Before going to Office and Sometimes Who used to take her to Office as well as Raveen Kapoor is a Protective Father He doesn't like to Leave His Child Alone.

Sana- Okay Aai! (Whispered)

Aai- Haan Baccha Yeh lo Yeh Sidharth Ki Mom ne Mujhe di thi Sidharth ki Wife Ke liye, Abhi Yeh Cheez tumhari huwi.

Sa- Aai Main Kaise?

Aai- Na Bacche yeh Haq hain Tumhara!

Sana looked at Sidharth, who just nodded his Head indicating her to Take it. Aai was speaking to Shehnaz when Suddenly Dev's phone rang up and he excused himself. While Sidharth just frowned seeing Dev as he seemed quite disturbed. Sidharth also excused himself and went to dev. He could sense Dev was angry. he just kept his palm on his Shoulder. dev turned and  let out a long sigh of despair.

Sid- what happen Dev? 

Dev- She called me again!

Sid- What!? Wh..Wh..What did she say?

Dev- Same thing! Sidharth you know Whenever she cries, I feel very helpless!

Sid- Have you spoke to Aai regarding this matter?

Dev- Do you think I didn't try? but every fuckin' time we land up fighting!

Sid- Shall I try?

Dev- I don't know Sidharth. She came here once but Aai just sent her away!

Sid- Let's do one thing, it's already late, Also we have to leave. So, I think we should meet them and try to sort out the problem! hope you are alright with it?

Dev- I think you are right ! 

After discussing about the phone call, Sidharth went to Shehnaz who sitting beside Aai. He just cleared his throat, when Shehnaz looked at him. He just indicated her to Get up.

Sid- Aai ata apan nighun jave ( Aai now we have to leave )

Aai- Itakya Lavkar? (This Early?)

Sid- Kay Bolatoy Aai? Itakya Lavkar tula kute distay? Ratrice 10 vaajla aahe! (What are you saying Aai? Where do u see it's early. Its already 10'o clock at Night)

Aai- Khadoos!

Shehnaz chuckled Hearing Aai. Sidharth just Glared at her, immediately she went Silent. Soon they took their Leave from the Nagarkar house. The journey was silent when Shehnaz broke the Ice.

Sa- Thanku Sidharth!

Sid- For What ?

Sa- For Giving me back the Warmth I was seeking from the past 30 years. Seriously I won't ever forget your this Kind Gesture.

Sid- Sorry ! I didn't get you!

Sa- I was lacking the Warmth of a Mother since my birth. Like there was nobody to craddle me all day, To provide me Mother's Milk, to feed me with their own Hands. Yeah My Dad tried his Level Best to Fullfil the Blank in my Life. But He couldn't, Cause You Know A mother's place cannot be Substituted nor Filled by others. You know in my School, all my friends used to say what they brought for Lunch when they were asked. Some said, 'My mother has Made me my Favourite Chocolate Cake' or Some said, ' My Mother has created this project for me'. That time I used to feel like Am I so Bad that The Almighty snatched my Mother Just after My Birth. I have only seen her in Pictures but didn't hear her voice. My Dad Has always tried to Fullfil mom's Absence with Expensive Gifts, Cars but you say Can those Materialistic things really work? and today when I met Aai, I felt that I got all the Missing warmth and Love from Aai which I was longing for. Thanku (smiled)

Sidharth who was Driving, His Eyes too filled with Tears. As He Atleast got his Mother till his Adulthood but what about His Wife, She didn't Know What is Mother's Love or Maybe She knows the Most the Absence of Mother in An individual's Life, The Hollowness That A Child Feel after Her Death. The Hollowness, The emptiness  that Sidharth feels due to his Mother, She has been Feeling it since Birth. Sidharth just placed his Hand on her Shoulder.

Sid- You Want to Cry?

San- No..

Sid- Hey! Sana If you want you can. No one Will judge you. If you feel uncomfortable Infront of Anyone for letting your tears out then Don't worry You cry I will wait Outside.  Whenever you are done just call me.(Smiled)

Sidharth just went out of the Locking the Car and Stood afar puffing a Cigarette, He just turned to saw the Most gut wrenching Scene, Shehnaz who pretend to be so Strong is crying like a Helpless Child. He was puffing when Suddenly a Sentence rang in his Head, He just painfully smiled and went to the Ice cream Stall and Bought Different flavours of Ice cream. He was paying the Amount when Sana Called him up and Asked him to Return.
