"Kya ho gaya beta? Aisa kyu keh rahe ho?" Asked Santokh Ji making confused face. They couldn't understand what happened all of a sudden.

"Main aisa isliye keh raha hoon kyu ki aap ki beti kabhi khud se kuch nahi kahegi." Said Sidharth looking at Shehnaaz who was just looking down with teary eyes.

"Kya nahi kahegi?" Asked Pammi Ji.

"Yeh hi ki woh America nahi jaana chahti, nahi karni usse PhD."

As Sidharth said this, Shehnaaz's parents looked at her with disbelief.

Sidharth took a deep breath and said, "Dekhiye Uncle Aunty main aap dono ke decisions ki bohut respect karta hoon, aur mujhe yeh bhi paata hai ki Maa Baap bacchon ke future ko leke koi galat decision nahi le sakte. Lekin Shehnaaz ke liye kuch bhi decide karne se pehle, aap ko yeh paata hona chahiye ki woh kya chahti hai.... I know she is a brilliant student, woh America jaa ke researches kar sakti hai, accha khasa apna career bana sakti hai, but that is not what she wants. Aap ki beti ke liye music uski duniya hai. Singing se usko khushi milti hai, usse apna career singing mein bana na hai. It's not only her hobby, it's her passion, her dream. Aap log please uske sapno ko uss se mat chheeniye."

Santokh Ji and Pammi Ji's faces gres serious hearing that.

"Shehnaaz yeh sach hai?" Asked Santokh Ji sternly.

"Tune pehle toh kabhi nahi baataya." Said Pammi Ji being worried.

"Kyu ki woh darti thi, aap logo ko hurt karne se. Uncle Aunty, Shehnaaz jitna respect aap dono ko karti hai, utna hi pyaar bhi woh aap se karti hai. Uske liye uski priority aap dono ho, aap dono ke sapne hai. Isliye woh kabhi nahi keh paayi ki woh chahti kya hai. Main aap ko samajhta hoon, I know iss line mein career bana na bohut muskil hai, bohut kam log iss meim successful ho paate hai, lekin Shehnaaz unn gine chune logo mein se ho sakti hai. Just give her a chance at least."

Sidharth paused for a while and said, "Aur Pammi Aunty aap bilkool sahi thi. Aap ki beti actually highly talented hai. Humse kayi zyada talent hai uske andar. Aap please uske talent ko waste mat jaane dena. Chalta hoon."

Sidharth folded his hands and left from there, forcing Shehnaaz's parents to think deeply.

"Papa... Main..."

Before Shehnaaz could say anything, Santokh Ji said in a stern voice, "Tum apne kamre mein jaao Shehnaaz."

Shehnaaz became quiet, thinking that her parents were disappointed with her. She just nodded and went upstairs.

At night...

Shehnaaz was doing her packing sadly, when suddenly her parents entered her room.

"Mummy, Papa...." She uttered looking at them. "Dinner ka waqt hogaya kya? Meri packing almost ho chuki hai. Isse khatam kar ke aati hoon."

Her parents smiled looking at each other and then Santokh Ji went near her.

"Yeh sab chhor. Pehle humein tujhse kuch baat karni hai." Said Santokh Ji sitting beside his daughter.

"Aaj subah ke baare mein na?" Asked Shehnaaz. "Papa... Sidharth ne subah jo bhi bola, woh sab sach hai. Even main khud aap logo ko baatane wali thi mujhe America nahi jaana, mujhe yaaha reh ke singing mein apna career bana na hai. Lekin uss se pehle itna kuch hogaya ki, himmat nahi ho paayi. Paata hai aap dono naraz ho mujhse, lekin main sach keh rahi hoon mujhe life mein aisa kuch bhi nahi karna jis mein aap dono ki marzi na ho. Main waada karti hoon, main America jaa ke khub mehnat karungi aur aap ka sar ucha ucha karungi."
