Sidharth, I'm afraid... Is there no one in your family who understands your point of view? Somebody who could empathise with you. Somebody who could explain to your parents why you don't want to get married to Maya?" Shehnaaz asked.

Sidharth closed his eyes as if he was missing someone. It seemed as if he craved someone's presence in his life to escape the crisis.

Hearing her question, Sidharth replied to her, "yes... I have a sister who is more than a best friend to me, Divya . She understands me and my feelings too. But she shifted to London with her husband after the marriage. She's a doctor practising in London. We haven't spoken to each other lately. Anyway, I don't want to become the reason for her worries. Although Aarav , my brother, understands me and loves me very much, he cannot take a stand for me. My dad is quite strict and stubborn. There is business in everything for him. So overall, no one could solve this issue for me."

Shehnaaz took some time to ponder the situation and comforted Sidharth. "You just need to have some patience. Every problem has a solution. And there might be a solution to your problem too, " Shehnaaz smiled at him.

"Well, it's quite late now. You go and take a break. We will think about it tomorrow and definitely find a solution, " Shehnaaz added.

Sidharth smiled at Shehnaaz and took her to leave. "Good night, Shehnaaz."

Sidharth and Shehnaaz went to their rooms, respectively. Lying on the bed, Shehnaaz was thinking about Sidharth before she drowsed to sleep.

The next morning, Sidharth woke up early and went to work. Shehnaaz didn't even get a chance to talk to him. After having her breakfast, she went straight to the study, where she usually spends her entire day these days. Sidharth had an amazing collection of books. He was very fond of reading autobiographies. He had almost every famous autobiography included in his collection. Apart from the amazing collection of books, his music collection was also fabulous.

Shehnaaz spent all her day in the study room reading books. right from the morning to sunset. Since she had started reading books and spending her time in the study, Sidharth had put a big couch in the room. Shehnaaz lay down on the couch and opened the book to read it. She had just reached the middle of the page when she got a call on her phone. It was Jasmine. Shehnaaz answered her video call, and jasmine appeared on the screen.

Jasmine  had a shiny glow on her face. It was the post-marital bliss that people talk about. That dazzling smile had made her even more beautiful. Jasmine was ecstatic to see her best friend over the video call.

"Hello, my dear, How are you?" Jasmine welcomed her . Her voice brought a smile to Shehnaaz's face.

"I am all right. How are you, my darling? And I hope everything is settled well in New York, has it?" Shehnaaz responded.
