The lights went off and Shehnaaz and Veer turned back in surprise... They saw Sidharth in a completely new and cute avatar... The environment turned light... The lights were multi coloured. It turned into a celebration environment in real sense... Sidharth came down towards Shehnaaz and the music started... 

~~"Ho aavi gayi raat...Ane bhulo badhi vaat... Prem ni aa mausam chee... Ab aao mere paas... Reh jaao mere saath... Prem ni aa mausam chee..."~~

Shehnaaz looked on both her sides and was a bit confused... Both Sidharth and Veer forwarded her their hands... Shehnaaz thought for once and held both their hands... The trio kept a leg forward and then backwards... Veer lifted her upwards and she bent towards Sidharth and caressed his cheek... Her body moved flexibly like a trained dancer which amazed the audience... Then, Sidharth took her in his arms and twirled her in bridal style... The happiness on her face was clearly visible.... Veer looked at them, felt ignored and passed a fake smile... Sidharth winked at him and he thought, "Kahan fas gaya yaar main... Dost ke saath dance hi toh karna chahta tha... Haan... Thi pehle feelings par ab ho bhi kya sakta hai...

~~"Ho aavi gayi raat... Ane bhulo badhi vaat... Prem ni aa mausam chee... Ab aao mere paas... Reh jaao mere saath... Prem ni aa mausam chee...Haaye mil jaaye mujhko agar saath tera toh bhulun main saara jahaan..."~~ 

Sidharth hugged her from behind, whispered I love you in her ears and twirled her towards the right side in the same position... Then he turned her towards himself and held her downwards... He again gave her a compliment, "Iss chehre pe jo ye noor hai chaand ko bhi maat de gaya hai... I promise that it will remain the same always...." 

~~"Chogada taara hey hey... Chhabila taara hey hey... Rangeela taara... Rangbher jue taari vaat rey... Hey...Hey...Haan... Chogada taara...O rey...Chhabila taara...O rey rangeela taara... Rangbher jue taari vaat rey...Haan... Chogada taara... O rey chhabila taara... O rey  rangeela taara... Rangbher jue taari vaat rey...."~~

All three of them took a 360 degree turn on this line, raised both their hands, moved them in sync with the beats on either side, brought their hands down till their shoulders, turned backwards, then on the left and then again on the front.... Shehnaaz was in the middle of both the guys and her gaze was fixed on Sidharth... Both of them were lost in each other... She didn't realise when Veer pushed her a bit and her foot twisted due to the sudden movement... Sidharth held her on time and gave a death glare to Veer.... Shehnaaz stood properly with the support of his arm... Isha asked, "Bhabhi are you okay??" She nodded in a yes and then they got busy attending the guests... Shehnaaz was beside Sidharth most of the time... But suddenly one of his friends pulled him and took him to rest of their gang.... Shehnaaz was alone so Veer came and started talking to her. Sidharth saw this from the other side and thought, "Ye gadha, bewakoof ek bhi mauka nahi chhodta Shehnaaz se baat karne ka... Aur uppar se mere ye dost mera dard nahi samajhte... Huhh... Isse toh main baad mein seedha karta hun..." He got busy with his friends and Veer took Shehnaaz out while talking...

They were walking near the pool when Veer wrapped his hand around Shehnaaz's shoulder.... She felt a slight discomfort... She was trying to get out of his hold when he suddenly took off his hand with force and Shehnaaz fell in the deep side of the pool.... Veer started laughing while Shehnaaz was losing out on her breath.... She somehow managed to come to the corner... She was taking the support of the marble to come up when Veer gave her a push inside... Shehnaaz took a chance and screamed, "Sidhhhaaartthh bachao... Someone help..." Veer laughed and said, "Koi nahi aayega baby.... There's loud music inside and your to be husband is busy attending the guests... Aur Shehnaaz you know swimming... Come on... Come out..." Darkness was taking over her eyes... A flashback kept her breathing.... The visions and noises of that one particular incident brought in the courage and aggression back in her... A noise yet again echoed in her ears, "Shehnaaz is a loser... She is a loser... Pani se darti hai... Haww...." The visions of her drowning in the pool during a swimming class came in followed by the noise of her so called friends... This gave her the courage... She was going downwards in the 7 ft deep water... The water seemed to be yellow to her because of the Chlorine that had entered her eyes through it... She looked around with her blurry vision... It was all water... She gathered all her courage coming from the hatred for her past and gave a hard push using her lower body... She came up, swam aggressively till she reached the corner, jumped up on the floor and fell on her front... Darkness engulfed her as she felt the hardness of the floor... She could only manage to murmur, "Sid...Sidhaaarrthh...." Veer had already done his work by this time so he decided to call Sidharth now... He went in and rushed towards Sidharth... He tapped his shoulder and said with heavy breaths, "Sidharth... Vo...Vo..." Sidharth was a bit drunk so he just laughed and said, "Ae Machar... Ya toh haanf ya toh bol..." He lightly slapped his forehead and said, "Sidharth... Vo Shehnaaz... Bahir..." He smiled and said, "Shehnaaz... Haaye... Aaj kitni hot lag rahi hai vo... But...Only for me.... She is my life..." Veer scratched his forehead and thought, "What should I do?? He is completely drunk and there Shehnaaz is lying unconscious... All my fault... Damn it... Why did I even think of dealing with her fear of water today... Ek baar aur bolta hun Sidharth ko shayad samajh jaye vo meri baat... Waheguru bas Shehnaaz nu kuch nahi hona chahida hai... Vada siyappa ho gaya mere kolon aaj..." Sonali came running at the same time and said, "Jiju aap yahan ho... Jaldi chalo... Shehnaaz di is lying unconscious outside and she is completely drenched in water... Shayad pool mein gir gayin thi vo..." The glass fell down from Sidharth's hand and he ran outside... He saw her lying unconscious on her front... She was shivering in cold.... He panicked and yelled, "Manager kahan hai yahan ka... Call the doctor now... Kab se hai ye yahan... How did the staff didn't see?? Life guard kahan tha... I'll complain against the management..." Then he bent down, kept Shehnaaz's head on his lap, patted her cheeks and said, "Shehnaaz... Shehnaaz... Uth na meri jaan... Please... Please...Get up... Meri galti hai... I shouldn't have left you alone like that..." She shivered as the wind passed her body... He immediately removed his coat and wrapped it around her body.... He hugged her close to her heart and said, "All my fault... Please uth jaa na baby... Dekh aaj toh tu bohot khush thi na... Toh please uth aur vapas se kar na apni nautanki... Main kuch nahi kahunga... Bas get up for god's sake..." He pressed her chest and she coughed... He did it a few more times and she spitted the water that had went inside... She slowly opened her eyes and looked around her... Sidharth immediately hugged her to his dear life... She reciprocated the hug and said, "Main theek hun Sidharth.." He broke the hug and said, "Kya khaakh theek ho... Look at you... Kaisi pale ho gayi ho... Kaise giri tum.. Jab tairna nahi aata toh pool ke paas aane ki zaroorat hi kya thi... Kuch ho jaata toh... You know na that I am nothing without you.... Tumhari halat dekh ke main toh bass ma..." She put a finger on his lips and said, "Don't ever say that... Theek hun na main toh bass phir... Don't spoil the mood now... Aur main aur Veer baat kar rahe thee... Phir mera paun slip hua aur main gir gayi... Phir vo flashbacks and then I swam till the corner... Bas phir unconscious ho gayi thi..." Sidharth got up with her and held Veer's collar in anger... He said in anger, "How the hell can you be so irresponsible?? Oh Haan... Tumse toh responsibility ki vaise bhi koi ummeed nahi kar sakte na hum... Vo gir gayi... Agar kuch ho jaata toh... Aur bachaya kyun nahi tumne usse..." He replied, "Easy bro easy... She has a fear of water... Main toh bass uska dar kam karna chahta tha isiliye nahi jump kia peeche peeche..." Sidharth shouted, "Aise kam hota hai dar... Ye tareeka hai... Trust me agar aaj kuch ho jaata na toh tu yahan khade rehne layak na hota..." Shehnaaz rubbed his arm to calm him down, came between both of them, took Sidharth to the other side and said, "Shhh... Bebu bass... Kitna gussa karega... Usne jo kiya usse atleast mujhme apni jaan bachane ki, swim karne ki himmat toh aayi..." He came from behind and said, "That's called survival instinct Sidharth... Itne saal purana dar hai... Maine bas dar nikalna chaha aur kuch nahi... Trust me my intentions weren't wrong..." Sidharth looked straight into his eyes and said, "Trust... My foot... Either mend your ways or stay away from her... I am warning you for the very last time..." Sidharth looked at her and gestured to her to follow him with his eyes filled with anger, fear and love at the same time...
