Several heartbeats later, Shehnaaz pulls out of his embrace and looks deep in Sidharth's eyes and he softly murmurs, 'Kaisi hai darling, kya kar rahi thi?'

Shehnaaz responds only for him to hear, 'Tujhe miss kar rahi thi, isiliye teri t-shirt ko hug kar rahi thi...'

Sidharth quickly cuts in, 'Par tujhe to meri sakal nahi dekhni thi...'

Shehnaaz chirps, 'Birthday ke din bhi maar khani hai kya tujhe?'

She then places a sloppy wet kiss on Sidharth's right cheek, and says aloud, 'Happy Birthday, Sidharth. Chal humne cake banayi saath mein milkar kaat tey hai.'

The entire house gathers around for Sidharth's cake cutting, and a shy Shuklaji cuts the cake and feeds Shehnaaz first, followed by the rest of the housemates. He then tastes the cake himself and goes on to put some of the chocolate cause on Shehnaaz face only to annoy her. But, Shehnaaz is happy to have him back and simply rubs her face on his t-shirt. Sidharth nods in head in disbelief and just goes on to hug her again, happy to have her back.

That night, as they sleep in each other's arms, with Sidharth stroking her head and she listening to his heartbeat, she croons, 'Sidharth tu puri tarah sey theek ho gaya na baby?'

Sidharth: 'Haa meri Maa, mein puri tarah sey theek hoon, soja abhi.'

They sleep in peace after days of dreading being alone and without each other.

The next day passes too quickly for both, with Sana pampering Sidharth throughout. Giving him massages, getting him tea, singing to him and spreading positivity.

Sidharth simply relaxes and enjoys his moments with her, listening to her endless chatter, trying to capture her face in his heart.

In the evening when Bigg Boss sends him his official cake, he makes it a point to tell Sana that the cake made by her and Vikas was way better than this store bought one.

Housemates notice the change in his reaction towards Sana and wonder what changed in a week but do not say out anything loud.

Shehnaaz then asks him, 'Mere pass tujhe dene key liye kuch bhi nahi hai abhi. Par mein bahar jakar tujhe kuch achcha sa zaroor dungi. Bol tujhe kya chahiye, abhi bata dey.'

Sidharth looks at her intently and says, 'Mujhe waise koi gift to nahi chahiye par mujhe tujhse ek post-dated promise chahiye jo mein zindegi mein ekbar use kar saku, aur, tab mein zo bhi mangu tu chupchap man jaye.'

Shehnaaz: 'yeh kaisa wish hai teri, par chal koi na, tera aaj birthday hai, aur birthday key din na  nahi bolti mein. Done. Tujhe mein ek post-dated promise karti hoon ki ek wish teri mein zindegi mein puri karungi.'

(Destiny smiled a happy smile, as this promise does change their life at the most crucial time)
