Shraddha's POV

I go to Deepika Di's house, I take Shanaya with me as Sidharth's busy watching football. Deepika Di puts on cartoons for Shanaya to watch.

"Di...can I ask you something?"

"Yeah."

"What were mum and dad like?" I ask.

"They were the best parents ever. They loved us more than anything and did everything to make sure we have a happy luxurious life." She smiles.

"I can't remember much, but I do remember little flashbacks but they're not that clear. I just wish I could go back and relive the moments we had with Mum and Dad." I say as my eyes tear up.

"You and Alia were spoilt to death. I remember everything you two seen and liked Dad would get it straight away. He'd always have to get 2 sets of everything because you both would throw tantrums and fight." She laughs.

Varun's POV

"Um Varun..." Alia hesitates.

"I'm sorry Varun I can't." She says.

"Why?" I ask as I stand up confused.

"I want to pursue my career, it's not that I don't want to marry you. I honestly do but I don't know if I'm ready to take up the responsibility for it just yet. Do you get what I mean?"

"No not really.." I state.

"I definitely want to get married to you. But I think we're too young. I'm thinking to study a little more and fight cases. After winning the case about the custody of Shanaya I have gained a lot of confidence and I want to prove that I'm capable of being a lawyer." She explains.

"Oh ok." I say a little disheartened.

"It's only for a year Varun. A year will fly by before you know it."

Shraddha's POV

I decide to go Costa before I go home. As I'm walking out with Shanaya in her push chair someone calls out to me.

"Shraddha?.."

I turn around. It's Katrina. I start walking away but she stops me by holding onto the push chair.

"Can I talk to you?" She asks.

"What do you want to talk about huh?" I ask annoyed.

"Look Shraddha whatever I did I did it for a reason. It's just too complicated to explain. But I don't regret leaving Shanaya at Sidharth's doorstep." She says.

"What?"

"Yeah Shraddha I don't regret it! Not even one bit. Do you know why?"

"Why?"

"Because she got love from her father, uncle and...mother." She says.

"Your her mother." I say.

"No, you've given her more love than I ever having despite the fact that your not her mother. I just want to ask you if...." she starts stuttering.

My phone suddenly rings. "One sec."

I answer the call.

"Shraddha where are you?" Sidharth asks.

"I'm just grabbing some coffee and I'll be on my way home." I say.

"Hurry up! I'm missing Shanaya." He whines.

"Your missing Shanaya what about me?"

"I miss you too!"

"I'll see you in a bit." I end the call.

"Was that Sidharth?"

"Yep."

"You two make an amazing couple."

"What did you want to ask?"

"Can I come to see Shanaya at least once a month?"

"Look Katrina...."

"Please Shraddha just once a month? I just want to see my daughter grow up."

Alia's POV

Varun suddenly becomes very quiet.

"Varun?!" I ask snapping him out his thoughts.

"Yeah."

"Are you okay?" I ask.

"In this year we can prepare for the wedding. And then have a great wedding. Can we just wait a year?" I ask.

"Alia...."

"It's okay then forget me you can get on with your life and marry another girl." I joke.

"I will never do that!" He says.

"So can we wait for a year?" I ask.

Oh no Katrina's back! Will Shraddha agree to let her visit Shanaya? Should she let her or will Katrina cause trouble? Will Varun agree to wait for a year?
