Sid returned home at 5.00 am. He was out since that night. His parents and sisters were hell tensed. They felt relieved when Sidharth retuned home. His Mother went near him to ask where he was but became shocked after seeing him.

"Sid kaise hua yeh sab?" Rita Ji asked.

Sidharth was badly injured. His head was bleeding. He stood there with no emotions in his eyes.

"Sid main puch rahi hoon yeh sab kaise hua? Kaal pura din tu kaha tha? Aur yeh news wale kya bol rahe hai? Sidharth answer me." Rita Ji said and jerked him.

Suddenly he started crying loudly and hugged his mother. Rita Ji couldn't make out anything. She was confused. More than that she was tensed. Preeti and Neeti went near them.

"Mom yeh sab baad mein puchna. Abhi Bhaiya ko first aid ki zaroorat hai." Neeti said.

"Haan Mom, Di sahi keh rahi hai. Bhaiya ko kamre mein le chalte hai. Phir aram se baat karna." Preeti said.

They took Sidharth to his room. Ashok Ji wasn't at home. He went to police station as Sidharth was missing. After Sidharth returned home, Rita Ji informed him.

Neeti made Sidharth sit on the bed and did his first-aid while Preeti helped her sister.

"Bhaiya kya hua? Aap humein baataiye." Neeti asked calmly.

Sidharth looked at her with watery eyes.

"Sab khatam hogaya. Sonia..."

"Kya kiya Sonia Di ne?" Neeti asked.

"She cheated on me. Woh mujhse pyaar nahi karti. Industry mein jagah banane ke liye usne...." Sidharth couldn't say further and started crying. Neeti understood everything and started consoling him.

"Bhaiya please mat ro. Dekhna sab kuch thik ho jaayega." Neeti said.

Preeti was listening everything. Finally she said, "Paata tha mujhe. Paata tha yehi hone wala hai. Di aap bohut pasand karti thi nah uss Soniya ko. Ab kya hua? Dikha di usne apne asliyat. Maine pehle hi kaha tha woh ladki apke liye sahi nahi hai. Tab meri baat kisi ne nahi suni. Ab rone ka kya fayda?"

Neeti glared at her angrily. "Chup ho jaa. Yeh koi waqt hai yeh sab kehne ka? Bhaiya ki halat toh dekh." She said.

"Preeti sahi keh rahi hai. Sab galti meri hai. Mujhe.... mujhe.... Ahhhhhhh!"

Sidharth felt pain in his head.

"Aram se Bhaiya. Aap zyada mat socho iss baare mein. Waise apki aisi halat kaise hui?" Neeti said.

"Haan. Kahi uss Soniya aur uske boyfriend ne kuch...."

"No Preeti. Aisa nahi hai. Soniya ke ghar se nikalne ke baad actually kya hua tha mujhe kuch yaad nahi. Subah jab aankh khuli toh paata chala meri car puri raat bridge par thi. Mera sir steering ke upar tha aur bohut khoon nikal raha tha. Sayad mera accident hua tha yaa phir..... I don't know." Sidharth said.

"Chhodiye uss baat ko. Ab maine bandage bhi kar diya hai toh yeh thik ho jaayega. Abhi aap rest karo hum aate hai." Neeti said.

They both were about to leave, suddenly Sidharth said, "Mom ko abhi kuch mat baatana. Woh waise hi tension mein hai aur upar se news wale paata nahi kya kya bol rahe hai. Unhe aur tension dene ki koi zaroorat nahi hai."

Both Neeti and Preeti nodded and left.

After sometime Sidharth looked at his guitar. It was gifted by Sonia on his birthday. Since that day, It's his favourite guitar. In his every concert, he plays it.

Sidharth and Sonia both started their career together. It was their dream that they would become a well known singer one day. However Sidharth got more famous than Sonia. Sonia also did shows but most of them were with Sidharth. Without him she was nothing.
