Rids:hmm kya karu Sid shayad Sid ki zindagi mie aj koyi aur hai..he said he has moved on ..Rids to goes to put her files away so that she could head off for her lunch..

Meanwhile, Sid is trying to call his driver in order to bring his car, finally the call gets through the driver responds saying the car is still in the garage and is unavailable till tomorrow morning.Sid heads towards the lift thinking he will get a cab to reach Rahul's school.On the lift he meets Tam who is also heading off for her break.

Tam: hey! Sid ..kaha ja rehe ho ?

Sid: kuch nahi lunch hai so bahar jana tha

Meanwhile they get out of the lift..Rids sees them walking out of the lift, rids straight behind him ,since he is to busy in his convo he doesn't turn around to realise she is there.Rids is heading towards cafeteria which is close to reception..sid-tam's convo is quite audible and Rids can now hear everything as she is straight behind them.

Meanwhile, Sid goes to pick up Rahul, who introduces his dad to all his friends especially Simran.Sid is in a hurry so he asks Rahul to leave with him quickly so that he can get back to work..

Rahul who has been dropped home is quite happy

Rahul: dadi pata hai ajj mere sare dost mere papa se mile voh bahut kush hai

Rahul's grandparents are quite happy to see this..

Ridima saw less of Sid in the afternoon he was in the ward twice but it was a quick visit and he left. It was 4:30pm and his shift was coming to end. Tam will be waiting for me. So in a hurry sid grabs his bag and jacket and runs into the lift, he presses on a button and glances up to find Ridhima ..He looks away and There is an awkward silenced again but this time Ridhima makes up her mind to speak but by the time she opens her mouth the doors to the lift opens and Sid walks away. He finds tam on the reception and they walk to the parking. They are followed by Ridhima who is also walking to her car 'Rids gets in to the car and stares @ them..kahi yeh sid ki wife thoo nahi hai ..yah yeh log koyi relationship..well but yeh log thoo itne close bhi nahi hai ki mai esa keh saku..hmmm..y do I care anyway aur vaise bhi no matter how much I care muje nahi lagtha ki Sid will ever care..
