Sid: I am sorry Shehnaaz, I should have acted a bit matured. The way I just walked out without telling you was so stupid of me. Even I had the fear of losing you, infact I realized that you are not an integral part of my life but my life itself. I don't understand whether I should curse RPS and Paras for hurting you or should be thankful for them. If they weren't bad, then you wouldn't have been mine.
I know we are already engaged yesterday but I want to propose you today. Shehnaaz will you hold my hand when we won't have strength in our legs and need cane to walk, will you speak to me when we won't have teeth and won't be able to speak properly, will you be my present when neither our past (parents) nor our future (children) will stay with us?
Naaz has tears rolling down her cheeks hearing those words, she nods in agreement covering her nose and mouth with both her hands. She wipes her tear.
Naaz: Sidharth, I Love You Today and will continue to Love you forever!!
Sid: (holds her face with both his hands and looks into her eyes) I Love You too my Jaan!!
They hug each other as if they were hugging each other for the first time just the way a mother hugs her baby for the first time forgetting all the pain she went through to while giving her birth. So pure and full of love!
Having confessed their love to each other, they feel so relaxed and calm like a calm ocean which keeps the ship of life sailing smoothly.
Naaz washes her face and asks Sid to wash his face as well. She makes a hot coffee and Chutney Sandwich for both of them. They both sip their coffee and eat the sandwich since both were tired and hungry due to all the tension. The time was 11:30pm but Naaz was in no mood to let go Sid. She goes and sits on his lap while hugging him by his neck like a little kid.
Sid: Baby, mujhe ghar jana hoga!
Naaz: You said I am your life, and how can you leave your life alone here?
Sid: Kya karu sweetheart? Mera bas chalta toh main tumhe abhi uttake ghar leke jaata par humko kuch samay aur rukhna padega na?
Naaz: Agar tumhare jaate hi main phir behosh ho gayi toh?
Sid: Abey!! Tu toh ek number ki dramebaaz nikli.. (pulling her cheeks)
Naaz: Aaahhh!! Mat jao na please!
Sid: Dekh! Apni shaadi nahi huyi h abhi, emotions mein behkar agar mujhse koi galti ho gayi toh?
Naaz: Toh kya?? Shaadi se mana kar doge?
Sid: Nahi.. toh tumhe isse koi farak nahi padta kya?
Naaz: Nahi kyuki aap mere hone wale pati ho na.?
Sid: Invite kar rahi ho? Haan?
Naaz bites her lips blushing..
Sid: Don't do that baby! Control karna mushkil ho jata he
Naaz: Kya?
Sid: wahi jo tumne abhi kiya..
Naaz: kya kiya maine?
Sid: tumhe nahi pata?
Naaz blushes again and unknowingly bites her lower lips..
Sid: I am sorry, you asked for it now..
He smashes his lips on hers, her eyes opens wide shocked and she soon shuts them while reciprocating the kiss.

After sometime, they come back to their senses and they both loosen their holds while Naaz blushes.
Sid: See?? This is what I was scared of.. Abhi chalta hoon..
Naaz silently nods. Sidharth kisses her on her forehead and leaves.
Sidharth reaches home and messages her "Good night, Love You 😘"
Naaz eyes shine giving her brightest smile she texts him back "The season of Spring where everything dead comes to life, trees are green again and plants decorate themselves with colourful flowers. Earth looks beautiful like a bride. I hope and pray to Baba Deep Singhji to shower us with his mercy and let this season of Spring bring lot of colours in our colourless lives. Good night and I Love you more than you love me.. 😘😘"
The next week goes by smoothly where they both work during the day and chat on video call until late night.
It's Friday evening and Naaz is on her way back home in a cab and as usual she speaks to her mother over a call while travelling.
Naaz: Hello Mumma, Satsriakal
NM: Satsriakal Naazu, kaisa hai mera puttu?
Naaz: Mein bahut changi, aap bolo
NM: achcha Naazu, tujhe pata he, meri ek saheli hai Suman, usne na apne sasur ko Sid ka kundali dikhaya.. aur unhone bola ki woh maanglik he, dosh dur karne ke liye usko pehle ek pedh se shaadi karni padegi phir usko kaatne ke baad tere saath shaadi karne padegi.. nahi toh tere saath kuch bura ho sakta he, tu samajh rahi he na?
Naaz: (face palms) Arey mumma, aap kaunse zamane mein ho abhi bhi? Humare mein toh kundali nahi dekhte na?
NM: Par beta, Suman ke sasur bahut sahi batate he, aaj tak jitna bhi bola sab sahi bole h woh..
Naaz: Toh teek he na mom, waise bhi aap bhul rahi h ki ye unki dusri shaadi he, toh dosh vosh saare mit gaye honge..
NM: Arey haan, meine unko dusri shaadi wali baat nahi bola.. chalo phir toh koi rasam ki zarurat nahi hogi..
Naaz: (shakes her head in disgust) ok mumma mein phone rakhti hoon.. teek he? Bye!
Naaz disconnects the call, shuts her eyes and rests her head at the back to her seat. She starts pondering over the conversation she just had
'I met Sid just little over a month ago, didn't even know that we would fall in love so quickly and so deeply. In past, I met RPS, had a heartbreak then encounter with Paras which led me to escape to Bangalore. Sidharth met and married to Aishwarya. We were leaving in 2 different world and would have never imagined that we could have any connections until last 2 years.
I arrived in Bangalore 2 years back, that's exactly when Aishwarya passed away. Though I don't believe in horoscope and all but he did lose his wife. As if he was meant to be with me. Like when people keep their handkerchief to reserve the seat in bus, Aishwarya married him to reserve him for me until I arrived in Bangalore.
Connecting all the links together, I feel destiny played it's masterstroke in bringing us together. If he had to not marry anyone and we married, may be I would have died in place of Aishwarya. Was it her sacrifice to unite us?'
Her thinking was brought to halt when the driver announces that they have reached her destination and she thinks "Yes, I've reached my destination. All the paths in my life reaches to Sidharth and my driver is the destiny"
