SM: Sidharth is our eldest son, he has a younger brother, Sidhanth and a younger sister, Simran. Sidhanth is 2 years younger to him and like his brother he is also a software engineer. Simran is studying her final year graduation.

Sharma Uncle: Arey bhabhiji, sab kuch aap hi bata dengi toh yeh dono kya baat karenge? Inko thodhi der akele mein baat karne dete h aur hum sab chai aur samose ke saath gappe haakenge..

SU asks Sid and Naaz to talk with each other in their balcony while SA serves them with Samosa and Chai in the balcony.

Sid & Naaz (together): Aunty mein Chai nahi peeta(i).. (All 3 are shocked and Naaz blushes on their co-incidence and unison reply)

SA: arey aap dono ki aadate ek jaisi dikhti h.. toh kya peeyenge aap dono?

Again Sid & Naaz say in unison "Coffee" and SA can't hold her laughter. She goes inside to get the coffee.

Sid: (Ab kya baat karu mein?)

Flashback:
SM: Sid, beta 2 saal ho gaye Aishwarya ko guzre. Abhi tumhe apna doobara ghar basana chahiye.. tumhare peeche tumhara bhai bhi h, jiski shaadi honi h aur phir tumhari behen.

Sid: Mom, you know I loved her so much, I don't think I am ready for it again.

SD: Dekho beta. Tumhari baat humne ek baar maan liya.. abhi aur nahi.. Buddhape mein tumko humara saath dena h naaki aur tension dena h.. Tumne pehle apne mann se decision liya tha.. You have to move on..

Sid: aap chote ka shaadi karwa dijye.. Bahu toh woh bhi laa sakta h aapke liye..

SM: Maa Baap ka gham jaane ke liye unki jagah pe hona hota h.. Hum nahi chahte ke tujhe saari zindagi yuhi akele rehna pade..

Sid: (Yeh log samajhte kyu nahi..) Mom, mujhe kuch zaroori kaam h mein chalta hoon..

SD: Phir chala gaya topic avoid karke..

Sid drives to Aishwarya's parents house.

Aishwarya's Mom: Arey Sid beta, aao. Kaise ho?

Sid: Teek hoon. Aap kaisi ho mummyji.

AM: teek hoon. Kya baat h, itne udaas kyu ho?

Sid: Wahi roz ka, Mom dad chahte h ki mein shaadi kar loon.. aap hi bolye mein Aish ki jagah kaise kisi ko de doon?

AM: Mein aur Aishwarya ke papa bhi wahi baat kar rahe the.. Aur hum bhi yahi chahte h ki tum fir se shaadi kar lo.. Abhi tumhari umar h kya h..

Sid: Aap bhi?? Kyu mom?

AM: Nahi Sid, try to understand.. Atleast apna nahi toh apne mummy papa ka socho, humne apni beti khoyi h, par tum toh apne jeete jee apni mom dad ko dukhi kar rahe ho.. Think about them..

Sid: (Mummyji sahi keh rahi h.. I am becoming selfish.. Even though I am not happy, I have no rights to make them sad)

Sid goes home and agrees to marry. They feel happy and ask him to make a profile which they could forward to prospective bride. With half heart he makes a short profile with very little detail about his life.

Sid's Dad gets a call from Naaz's Dad and he tells them to check for Sid's profile. ND calls again to arrange for Sid n Naaz's meeting but SD insists on a family meet at Sharma's place because of Sid's hesitation all this time.

Sid's POV:
I am a widower, and who will agree to marry me. Just for the sake of my parents, I will meet the girl. I will not reject because I am sure she will reject me. I will not say no, no matter what. It will be my parents and that girl or her parents choice.

FB ends.

Sid: Hi, I am Sidharth. I really don't know where to start the conversation but I think it's important to tell you about my past. I married the girl I loved but she died within a year of our marriage.

Naaz: I am sorry. What exactly happened to her?

Sid: She was suffering from cancer. We tried to give her all the possible treatments, allopathy, homeopathy, ayurvedic.. nothing worked!

Naaz: Sorry again.

Sid: It's all in the destiny. We cannot avoid it or change it. Anyways, tell me about you.

Naaz: I am Shehnaaz from Punjab. I work as an Accountant in MNC. Since my parents are in Punjab, I had to come alone today. I am the only child.

Sid: Only child.. that sounds interesting. You must have been getting all the love and attention of your parents only for yourself. How I wish, I was as lucky as you. I have two monster siblings at home. 😀(They both laugh)

Naaz: Tell me about it.. I always wanted mera khudhka personal wala sibling..

Sid can't hold his laughter now..
Sid: Khudhka personal wala sibling.. 😂

Naaz: haan, toh woh hota h na cousin cuzeen wala waise wala h mere paas, but personal wala hi chahiye tha.. mein toh bachchpan mein apne mummy papa ko bolti bhi thi ki kisi hospital se ek chotu bhai uttake lao karke..

Sid: Uttake lao kya hota h..? kahi tumhe bhi unhone kisi hospital se uttaya na ho.. 😂

Naaz: Nahi.. woh mere sachchi wale mummy papa h.. aur meri shakal bhi apni mummy se milti h toh uttake leke aane ka chance hi nahi h..

Sid: (Thodhi dher pehle yeh itni shant, sharma k bhaiti thi, abhi version 2.0 dikh raha h mujhe) Sahi h.. 😂

SA comes with coffee, both keep quite and resume their talk once she leaves.

Sid: achcha tumhe khana kaise pasand h..

Naaz: Haaton se.. chamch se khana se desi swaad bhi nahi aata..

Sid: Arey yaar!! Mera matlab taste se tha - meetha ya theekha.. 😝

Naaz: Mood pe depend karta h.. waise meetha hi jyada pasand karti hoon.. Aapko kaisa khana pasand h?

Sid: Mein thoda kam hi theekha khata hoon.. baaki kuch bhi chalta h.. Tumhare saath baat karke bilkul bhi koyi bore nahi hoga!

Naaz: Pata h.. Graduation tak toh mein puri ki puri reserved thi.. sirf do best friends the mere..

Sid: phir yeh version 2.0 kaise nikla??

Naaz: Meri best friend Madhu ke vajah se.. She always told me to open up, to show everyone the side which only they knew..

Sid: Then we should be thankful to your friend.. abhi shayad hume chalna chahiye.. bahut time ho gaya..

They both walk back inside.

Sharma uncle: (looks at them) oh!! Aap log aa gaye.. tumhare papa bol rahe the ki unko nikalna chahiye abhi kyuki baarish hone wali h..

SD: Teek h toh, hum log ghar chalte h.. Naaz beta tum apne mummy ko apna decision bata do aur hum bhi Sid se puch lete h.. teek h..

Naaz: (does Pairi pona to Sid's parents)

Sid gives a slight glances at Naaz and bid adieu.

Naaz also takes leave from Sharma family and takes an auto to her house.
