Roli is speaking with a few guests when a lady in late 40s reaches her. "Hi Roli beta..." says her as she hugs her. Roli gives her a hug in back and pulls back soon. "Seema aunty...happy to see you here..." says Roli as she accepts her gift with a smile. "I'm happy as well beta...but tell me this, where is your husband...hasn't met him yet...Where is that naughty fellow hiding after giving such a good news to celebrate? " questions her. Roli's smile fades away. She never expected a question like this. She doesn't know what to tell. She has never discussed the story with anyone out because she didn't want any unwanted sympathy. But now she got to answer. What she can answer after all? That her husband betrayed her and she broke all her ties with him? She really doesn't want to face that fake sympathy that will appear on their faces after knowing the truth. "What happened beta???why your face suddenly turned pale???' the lady questions finding something suspicious. "She might have got tired aunty..." Roli is startled to hear a familiar croon and looks at the entrance. She gets a huge shock as she spots Siddhant dressed in a black party outfit enters the hall. Same is the state with Rithik, Aarav and Ahaana. None of them expected him there. Rithik looks at Sid confused whilst Sid just blinks at him indicating that he'll manage. Roli is yet to realize if it's a reality or a mere illusion of hers. But her doubts confirm as Sid walks towards the lady and stops by her. She becomes sure; she isn't hallucinating. Her hormones reach a peak level. She looks at Rithik, Aarav and Ahaana and spots the same shock on their faces. She feels really angry. Why is he here now? What he has to do with me and my child now? She wonders. She badly wants to grab his collar and push him out of the hall but she couldn't as something stops her. Was it her own protesting mind or the care of avoiding any drams before the public? Sid looks at Roli for a while whilst she turns her face against him angrily. Sid closes his eyes at the pain of her ignorance but maintains cool. He then turns to Mrs. Seema and gives a toothy grin. "Sorry aunty..i was little busy..." he says looking at Roli who pretend to ignore him. Her nostrils are flaring now. She just doesn't want him close to her. She doesn't want him to destroy her happiness today. "oh it's okay beta...I just asked as I failed to see you..Let me walk off now...got to see some acquaintances.,.." the lay days and walks away with the other ladies. "Why're you here???" Roli hisses to Sid in rage. "why means? It's a function related to my baby and I'll definitely come..." he mumbles slowly trying to show he isn't affected by her anger. "Your baby? How many times should I tell you that it's my baby...just my baby...I don't want any cheater's name for my child or me..." Sid feels a pain in his heart as he hears it. It's not that he wanted to come there and provoke and disturb her, but he couldn't help. He couldn't hold back his mind that badly forced him to come to Roli. He wanted to be there. He didn't want anyone to raise questions to Roli about him. So he won over all the opposing thoughts and reached the place. Roli looks at him sharply as he thinks all these gazing at her. "it's not you who decide it..." he says as if he got heavy attitude and walks away from her. Roli shrinks her face in annoyance and looks at Rithik but is surprised to see him almost normal. What's happening? Why're everyone tolerating him. Bhaiyya, Aarav, Bhabhi...everyone is just allowing his presence...Why???she wonders. It's then when she spots Sid getting a mike from the event manager. As she wonders what he's is up to, he picks up the mike and starts speaking. "Dear people who has come to be a part of our happiness..I'm really thankful to all of you for attending a main event in our life... Sorry...but I can't say for long..i got some business obligations due to which I need to leave soon..." he says as he decides not to stress out Roli anymore. Roli huffs in relief as she finds he's about to leave. She can't take it long. Her heart is pouncing hard. One side is her heart which is really really craving for her presence and other side is her brain which keeps her reminded of his betrayal. "but before leaving I need to give something to my wife whom I love the most in this world...who carries my part in her womb... who's my only asset...For whom I'm living now..." says Sid as his eyes get wet somewhere. Roli starts at him disgusted. How can he say such large lies, no matte own he had done a lot already, thinks her. S he looks at Rithik and is surprised to see him watching Sid without any trace of anger. What has happened to all, she wonders. but just before she could get lost to her thoughts she hears the music and Sid singing:
