A shocked Dev, could not look at anyone in the eye. He could not believe his eyes and ears had made such a grave mistake. He felt guilty about putting Samaira in such a precarious situation, but he had no idea she really could not sing......so it was Sonakshi all along?? The girl at the temple, at the mall, in the beach house.......in his dreams.....it had always been Sonakshi? His heart had always known the difference, so why could he not see it? He did not have the guts to go back on his decision now. How could he hurt Samaira? He had fought with his mom to agree on this marriage proposal......how could he back out now? She was wearing his ring on her finger now.

Samaira was indeed a daring girl; she sang for his happiness, he did not have the heart to break her heart now.......she was a good friend and in time she would be his wife as well......she would just not be Sonakshi. Anyways, Sonakshi belonged to Rehaan. So, Sonakshi misunderstood him for Rehaan at the beach house? No wonder she acted surprised when he did not recognize the house; he just ignored all the signs of mistaken identities, just like she ignored them. They both had gotten carried away and surrendered themselves.... "OH GOD! How will I ever explain it to Samaira? She really trusts me. Lekin main Sonakshi ko apne dimaag se kaise alag karoon? Shayad usse ek baar Rehaan ke saath dekh loon, toh usse hamesha ke liye bhool sakoon," Dev's thoughts kept barraging his mind.

Samaira closed her eyes, trying to hold her humiliation in front of everyone. Bijoy came forward and hugged his daughter, "I am proud of you Samaira.....only the brave can do what you did....." Samaira hugged her father tightly and tried to control her sobs. Jay and Ishwari also came forward and patted her. "Accha hai Samaira tumhe gaana nahin aata.....hamare yahan waise bhi music ko encourage nahin kiya jaata.....mujhey music se sakht nafrat hai!" Ishwari said irately. Jay felt a little awkward at Ishwari's statement, "nahin nahin beta aisi koi baat nahin hai....agar Dev aur tumhe pasand hai toh humein koi problem nahin hai."

Vicky and Elena gestured each other to leave soon. Dev picked his jacket and car keys, "ab humein bhi chalna chaahiye....kal office bhi jaana hai." Prithvi nodded gently and agreed with his brother.

Bijoy, Asha and Samaira all accompanied the guests downstairs. Dev was too embarrassed to have eye contact with Samaira. As the Dixit's sat in their car, Samaira stopped Dev by his elbow, "I hope you liked my singing.....I will make sure I sing for you EVERYDAY of our married life.....your own Lata Mangeshkar!" she minced her last few words sarcastically. Dev remained silent and said, "bye Samaira...I am sorry for putting you on the spot......I admire your courage......tum bahut brave ladki ho." Samaira bit her lower lip and looked up to hide her tears, "it's Ok Dev....galti tumhari nahin hai....jiski hai usse punishment zaroor milegi." Dev was puzzled, "kiski galti hai?"

Samaira smiled sardonically, "you will find out Dev.....don't be so impatient....go now.....your parents are waiting." Dev sat in his car, as Prithvi drove them off from the parking lot.

Vicky and Elena were about to leave, when Samaira caught up with them, "mujhey aap se kuch baat karni hai Vicky."

Vicky hesitated, 'k..kya abhi?"

Samaira looked at her parents and opened the back door to Vicky's car, "mamma...papa.....mujhe office ka kuch kaam hai Vicky ke saath......main thodi der mein aa jaaoongi......aap log so jaana....mera wait mat karna." Asha and Bijoy agreed as they knew Vicky and Elena well from Bijoy's office.

Samaira let herself into the backseat as Vicky and Elena sat in the front. Vicky started the car and finally broke the cold silence, "Samaira....kya baat karni hai tumhein?"
