Shehnaaz was standing in front of the mirror adjusting the dupatta of her white attire which she was wearing today on the account of the cremation of her Nani. She took a final look at herself and turned around only to find her man sitting on the bed.
He signaled her to sit beside him, she knew that he's upset over yesterday's happening and is not pleased to know the reason for her panic.
"Siddharth, please don't react to this" pleaded Shehnaaz
"I'm not reacting Sana but don't expect that I'll stay silent on this" retaliated Siddharth
"Please, Siddharth try to understand... " she cut midway by the sound of someone knocking on the door
She opened the door and found Maa standing there she quickly got her in and asked "Maa what happened is everything alright?"
"Everything's fine Sana by the way, Arjun is calling you"
Sana nodded and went out of the room, Mythali turned towards Siddharth only to find him sitting gloomily, She kept a hand on his shoulder and sat beside him
"Abhi bhi gussa hai?" Asked Mythali
Siddharth shook his head in denial and spoke " I'm not angry ma rather I'm upset because she doesn't know that how I felt when I saw her in that state again, I'm upset because she is protecting the person responsible for that, I'm upset ma just upset"
Mythali cupped his face and spoke " I know that you're upset because according to you she is protecting the person responsible for that horrible thing but according to her she is just accepting her sister's harsh words"
"But Siya does need a reality check" spoke Siddharth standing up
Mythali lowers her head as she knows that when it's a matter related to Shehnaaz nothing can stop her son.

The pyre of Swathi Nayyar was ignited in the presence of all her beloved grandkids, by her eldest grandson Arjun.
Shehnaaz was standing with Amira and Maa at her either side as Siddharth was busy doing some rituals meant for the son-in-law to perform. Her siblings were standing at a distance, she could see Ishani's eyes were red and swollen due to crying and Vansh was having a hard time controlling his tears, she knew that he hasn't shed even a drop of his tears because he was busy since 'the news' and he'll never cry in front of someone and that someone includes everyone except her and Amira, she can bet that not even her so-called grandmother or his wife would have seen his tears.
After the rituals were completed everyone decided to go back home.
Both Siddharth and Shehnaaz were standing outside the crematorium "Siddharth you should go,...... I'll come back after some time," said Shehnaaz
Siddharth nodded and said "ok... but what happened"
"Nothing just wanna go for a stroll" answered Shehnaaz
"your safe place?" asked Siddharth with a smile
"ya my safe place in Banglore"
She hugged Siddharth and made her way towards the car.
