Several days pass, Darshan is trying to stay calm and be positive. Still a part of his heart is waiting for Diksha. He feels that he has two options to deal with the situation. He could either be happy and wait for destiny to reunite him with his better half, or there was a chance of him being depressed and anxiety could control his mind. By god's grace, Darshan did not choose the latter. He understood that his family and friends were trying their best to make him happy, so he thought of co-operating with them. He completely focused on his music, and his career was at its peak. Each and every song of Darshan was loved, appreciated and everyone realised his potential. He performed a few concerts as well. But he could not do many concerts because he had to be there with his daughter, Divya. But one thing kept on troubling- he was still worried if someone asked about his personal life, how would he react? That was the reason why he tried to avoid interviews, but that did help always. After a tiring day, it was Divya who used to bring a big smile on Darshan's face. She became the reason for Darshan's happiness and made him feel better.

One day, Darshan is recording in his home studio,Divya comes inside. She is excited about something and it is clearly evident from her face.

"What happened dear?"

"Papa, ma'am has selected me for a singing competition", she says and starts jumping around.
She further adds, "I will sing a sing by you....please."
"Okay dear, I will teach you,  promise."
"Which song will I sing papa? Will you teach me everything? Will I be able to sing like you?"
The little girl is so excited that she kept on asking several questions. And seeing her innocence and her love for music, Darshan smiles beautifully.

For the next few days, Darshan remains busy preparing Divya for the competition. And Divya patiently follows whatever her father instructed her to do.

Finally, it is the day for Divya's singing competition. Since Divya is a participant, she had to leave for school a little earlier that day. Whereas at home, Siddharth is struggling to wake Darshan from his deep sleep.
"Darshan wake up. Yaar it's your daughter's singing competition. And you're sleeping! Get up!!"
Darshan just replies, "ummm" and turns to the other side.
"Darshan now you will seriously be late. What will the the school teachers think? They will think that Divya's father, the great Darshan Raval is late on this day as well! Have you lost your manners?"

Siddharth's shouting are just a waste of time. Because Darshan hugs the pillow, tosses on the other side of the bed and starts sleeping again!
Seeing that Siddharth was so irritated that he shouts near his ears, "GET UP  RAVAL!  Stop dreaming. Wake up idiot!"

And guess what, that actually helped! Darshan jolts and says," ahhh what the f*** happened? Why are you shouting? Did Divya win the competition?"
"To know that you will have to get up and do to honors of going to her school", Siddharth replies with an irritated face. But that did not last for long. He starts laughing after hearing his friend's funny yet cute reply, "What? I'm not at Divya's school? Wait...this is my room..but...?"
Siddharth somehow controls his laughter and says, "Darshan you were dreaming!"

Finally he got ready in time! Darshan went to Divya's school and Siddharth had accompanied him.

Soon, Divya's name was announced. She went on stage with a big smile.
