Time Skip to the party:
Everyone is present at the hotel, where the party is organised. The whole Bhatena family including Siddhu. Various members related to them are present at the party. Aarav and Siddharth are busy attending to the guests.
Hello everyone, thank you for attending the party. As you all know, Aarav and Siddharth both worked hard for collaboration with Alhu company. This party is organised to celebrate my boys hardwork.I'm proud of you both my boys. I hope everyone enjoys the party. Saying this Harsha descended the stairs, went towards his family.
They are talking among themselves, when a voice caught their attention.
Hello Mr.Bhatena.
Harsha was a little taken back by the person present in front of him.
Hello Mr. Mehta.
I must say that your son is very smart. It's not easy to collaborate with Alhu company.
Hearing Raghav's statement, all are pissed off.
Excuse..... , Aarav was cut off by Harshavardhan.
Yeah indeed it is very difficult to get collab with Alhu company, he paused before turning to Siddharth, held him and pushed him slightly forward, so that Siddharth could stand beside him and continued saying, both my sons worked very hard to gain it.
Raghav was a little taken back. The tension in the air is thick. Sensing this, Radhika tried to diffuse it by saying, oh great, congratulations Aarav and Siddharth.
Both of them gave a nod with smile which is absolutely fake.
I think we should greet others come saying this Radhika dragged her husband and daughter away into the crowd.
Dad why did you even invite them? Asked Anitha.
I just told my assistant to invite all our business members which we have done deals. Maybe they've got an invitation because we had done deal before. That's it. I didn't invite them personally.
Harsha don't even get that person near my sons, I think I should take off evil eyes for my sons after reaching home. Said Srileela.
Aunty, uncle you both don't have to.....
Before Siddhu complete the sentence, he was cut off by both Harsha and Aarav. Stop it, I dare you to complete.
Siddhu remember you are our son, me and leela, we both love you the same way we did Aarav and Anitha. So don't ever say that, and yeah to your previous nonsense uncomplete sentence, If anyone tries to belittle my kids, I won't leave them.
Siddhu eyes was filled with tears, listening him, he hugged both leela and harsha tightly and said thankyou dad and mom, for being with me always, for being there for me always.
Listening him calling them both dad and mom, they both over the moon. Finally!!!!
Sorry for making you wait for calling mom and dad. Said siddhu by releasing the hug.
Leela smacked him on the head and said who says sorry to your own parents idiot.
All laughed hearing her.
Mom siddhu whinned.
C'mon youngman stopping whinning now, when are you planning to get married? Asked Harsha.
What marriage? Asked Siddhu with confusion.
Oho stop it, we talked to your parents last night, and I even showed them their soon to be daughter in law photo. They liked her, Said leela with a teasing smile.
What daughter in law mom, what are talking about? Asked siddhu with little irritation.
See there comes soon to be Mrs. Siddharth. Said leela
Aarav, Siddhu and Anitha turned around to see who is this soon to be Mrs.Siddhart and was shocked.
The person reached towards them and said hello everyone.
Three of them are looking at her with shocked expressions, she was confused as to why they were looking at her like that?
Hmm. Sakshi what are your plans tomorrow? Asked Leela to divert them sensing Sakshi's confusion.
Mom I'm going out of country, tomorrow. Said Sakshi.
Siddhu was stunned,
( Why she is leaving? Is it because of me? Arghh... I was supposed to be enjoying the success we both (Aarav and him) did, but since yesterday I'm getting shocked, stunned and what not. Wait how did leela maa find out about Sugar?)
Why are you leaving beta?
I have events to plan dad, so I have to leave.
Oh. Then when are you leaving?
Right after the party mom, I just came to see all of you before leaving.
Di when are you coming back?
I don't know Anitha, there are events lined up one after the other, so it may take maybe months, for me to be back. Said Sakshi.
(I was lying to all of them, I came to see Siddhu before leaving, I told him that I'll wait for his answer, but like a coward, I'm running away from him, I'm scared of his rejection.)
Before anyone could saying anything the guest came to them and started talking, Sakshi moved away from them and stood at a little distance watching Siddhu. She don't know when she will see him again, so she is trying to take her fill of watching him to her heart content.
Siddhu was feeling restless in his heart but he was stucked with the guest who are talking to him continuously. He can't move away leaving them in the middle of conversation.
He is watching Sakshi with side eyes from time to time, even though when he is talking to guests.
After sometime, when she noticed the time, she started leaving from the place with a heavy heart.
On the other side, Watching Aarav, reaching near him Siddhu tried to shift the guest focus on Aarav in which he was succeeded. Siddhu signalled Aarav to keep them company, and slightly moved away from them. He tried to find Sakshi, but she was no where to be seen.
Where are you sugar? He searched whole place for her.
Bhai what are you doing? Asked Anitha.
Anitha have you seen Sakshi? Where is she?
I don't know Bhai. I've not seen her, maybe she is with mom?
No she is not with her, I've seen.
Why don't you call her bhai?
Yes, I will (god why didn't I do that in the first place instead of wasting time) Anitha if anyone asks about me tell them I'm leaving , saying this he ran while calling Sakshi to the outside of the place.
Pickup, pickup sugar, please pickup.
The call was attended after a few rings.
Hello..
Sugar where are you?
I'm on the way to the airport said sakshi.
What? Sakshi stop wherever you are, we need to talk you are not going anywhere.
But Siddhu, I....
No, stop right there, I'm coming don't even think of going anywhere. Said Siddhu aggressively.
He put the phone on the speaker mode and started driving the car, he is furious, his knuckles turned white with his hold on steering wheel.
On other side Sakshi stopped the car, on the side of the road and stood out waiting for Siddhu. She is nervous, don't know why but she is scared to face Siddhu, he is angry with her. She can guess by the tone he used.
