Sidharth knew that Sana was hurt because of something, but he didn't like her drinking and behaving that way. A different image about this Bollywood actress had registered in his mind now. Sid latter heard that the star couple Asim and Sana have split. He understood then that was the reason for her breakdown. Two days after this incident, he was called again by the Hotel General Manager.

Sid keeps praying that he doesn't have to deal with the similar situation again. He doesn't want to face the drunk Sana and babysit her till her family comes to pick her up. He knocks at the door of the manager and gets inside. He finds a girl sitting in front of the manager. He greets him and asks what he was called here. The Manager says," Yes Sidharth come. Sit down. " He goes near the chair to see that the girl is none other than Sana Kaur. Sana is drinking juice which she places on the table and turns on her side to see Sidharth. Her eyes turn big and a smile appears on his face.

Sana gets up and says," Siddy Boy tum?" Sid feels uncomfortable being called Siddy boy in front of his boss. He just smiles awkwardly. But Sana does not stop there, she gives him a big hug and says," O Thank you..Thank you..Thank you..so.. soo much.." Sid tries to get himself out of her hold but she doesn't leave him. She plants a big kiss on his cheek and then leaves him. Manager just looks at them with an open mouth. Sana says to the Hotel Manager,"Prashantji I know this Sidharth. He is the manager of one of the restaurant here. He had been so good the other night at the restaurant. You know what he had also repaired my car that was broken down in the middle of the night. Why didn't you tell me that Sidharth Kapoor is actually Siddy Boy?" The Manager smiles meekly and says," O really mam. I didn't know Sidharth is Siddy..boy.. otherwise I would have told you." Sana looking at Sid says,"So you were in my room that day when I was drunk. I don't remember, obviously.. you know right..mein toh tun thi..But you helped me so I had come to thank you. I didn't remember your full name when they mentioned. I am so happy to see you Siddy boy.." She turns to the Manager and says,"I will take your leave now. Thank you for everything.(Turning to Siddy boy) I will meet you soon at the restaurant. Keep my specials ready. Bye!"

Both the men in the room were out of words. Sid tries to understand exactly what happened in the short span of time. The Manager says," Sidharth do you need water? Just sit and have some." Sid sits down and drinks from the glass placed in front of him and the Manager too drinks from his glass. After sometime the Manager asks,"What is this Siddy boy?" Sid replies," My name given by her as she couldn't remember my name as Sidharth. Apparently it is too big."

Sidharth goes to the washroom and finds lipstick mark on his cheek. He cleans his face and takes a deep breath. Never in his life had he faced someone like her. She was a storm today. She could be child like sometimes, stubborn at other times, angry at times and carefree at other times. He doesn't want to be in a situation like today. But he has got the warning, the lady will visit the restaurant soon. He just prays to God to save him from her.

After few days, Sid before leaving home goes near his mother. He says,"Do you need anything? Make the list. Tomorrow is my off day, I will get them. Keep your prescription ready too." His mother running her hands in his hair says,"Kitna mehnat karega aur? Your father left us and you had to bear all the burdens of this family." Sid smiles, hugs his mother and says," Family can never be a burden. Okay I am leaving now. As usual I will be late. So don't wait for me. Tell Shini to sleep too, her exams are over." Coming out he meets Shini on the way, he says," Aaj jaldi aagayi?" She smiles and says,"No classes today. I came back. Having a headache." Sid looking concern says," Go and sleep. If needed take any medicine. No need to study today." He gives her a hug and leaves.

The restaurant is full and service is going on. Sid is busy in his work, looking at things, interacting with customers. Just then he hears the voice saying,"Siddy boy!" His heartbeat grows faster as he knows his nightmare is standing behind him. He excuses himself from the customer and turns to see her standing. He smiles awkwardly and goes near her. He wishes," Good evening mam! You don't have reservations I guess." Sana smiles and says," No, Siddy boy. Can't you get a table for me, just one teeny tiny person." She gives him her famous puppy face. Sid says," Well mam, today we have a rush as it's Saturday. Can you wait for ten minutes here please? I will see what I can do." Sana says," Five minutes..I will wait just five minutes. Don't be late.. I hate to wait you see.."

Sid goes inside and arranges a table specially for her inside. He knows she will create a scene if it gets late. He does not want that, at least today. He takes her to her table and asks servers to take care of her. Sana enjoys a good starter and main as well as the attention from fellow customers and staff there. Today she is not with that Asim. Hence all attention is on her only. Some come to take selfie and others take autographs.

Sid is called to the table by her. She says," Where is my special desert? Don't you remember?" Sid smiles and says,"It's coming mam. Hope you like it." A waiter brings a plate of a desert. It's a kheer of some type topped with nuts and rose petals. Sana takes a bite and makes a sound as if enjoying it, " Hmmm....It's yummy..wow! Siddy boy you are just amazing. I wish I could go take you home.." The staff smile hearing her say that but they control after seeing Sid looking at them. And just then they hear crackers being busted outside. Sana says," Arey aaj toh Diwali nahi hai then why crackers?" And then a boy comes running inside covered in blood..
