After dinner, Asim left for his home, leaving the love birds alone. Shehnaaz & Sid were in their bedroom, seated on the bed in each other's arms. She had her head rested on his shoulder while he had her wrapped in his cozy embrace.
"Whats next?" Shehnaaz asked him, breaking the silence which begun to eat her up from inside.
"I need to start some business soon-" Sid told her absentmindedly. Starting a new business, wasn't going to be an easy task, he knew it.
"I am with you in every step." Shehnaaz mumbled, she placed a soft kiss on his cheek. She knew he is not showing, but he was deeply hurt by his parents.
"Sleep now. You have college tomorrow." Sidharth said to her, he peck her lips and made her lay down properly, he laid down beside her and turned off the lights. It was the hectic day, sleep consumed them soon and they both slipped into a peaceful slumber.
Next morning, Shefali Zariwala entered the shukla mansion, to meet Aarti, was confused when she found the house dead silent which was very unusual. She walked inside and met Rita, who was looking visibly sad so was Aarti who stepped out of the kitchen. Shefali greeted them then moved toward Aarti.
"What happened, auntie? Aarti? Are you alright?" Shefali asked them, concerned. Both the ladies told her whatever happened yesterday.
"Auntie, you shouldn't have let him go." Shefali told Rita in worried tone.
"There was nothing we could do. He is mad behind that girl, god knows what kind of magic she had done on him-" Rita sighed frustratingly while cursing the girl who had snatched her son away from her.
"He had sent divorce papers and i have signed them-" Aarti told her with a sad grim, Shefali was shocked, she had expected this somewhere, but not this soon. The ladies were seated on the couch, talking about yesterday's incident.
"Auntie, do you know the girl he is having an affair with?"
"No, beta, nor i wish to know a girl like her."Auntie, there is something i want you to know about her-" Shefali started off, her words caught their attention. Just then Vishal, who had got to know about all from Asim, came there to meet sharon.
"What about her, Shefali?" Vishal asked her, eager to know about the mysterious girl. All the eyes were trained on her, Neetu & Ashok too joined them soon enough
"I think that girl is not a right girl. Last month i met her brother, he told me about her. She had betrayed him, by manipulating him, she took his late father's property. And She trapped Sidharth when he had gone to their place for dinner." Shefali told her, about the meeting she had with dev last month and the things he told her about her brother who is now with Sidharth.
"There is no relation between them, she is his mistress." Shefali continued and finished her sentence.
"We don't care what relation he share with her. He chose her instead of his family, but soon he will understand we are right when he will see that girl's true colors." Ashok said, gaining their attention.
"But won't you ask who is that girl? We all know her-" Shefali mumbled, she could feel all the curious eyes on herself.
"Who is she? And how we know her?" Aarti asked her, confusingly. And the next few words escaped shefali's words, shocked all of them.
"Its shehnaaz. Neetu's best friend."

"Sidharth, i am not in mood of going to college today. Can i skip?" Shehnaaz asked him, she wrapped her arms around him.
"No, kitty. You had already missed college for 2 days, you have to go today-" Sid said to her, causing her to frown at him.
"But i want to spend my whole day with you." Shehnaaz whined cutely, Sidharth chuckled softly, he leaned and pecked her pouty lips.
