Back home everything seemed to be sorted out. Zia had full confidence in jai that he will win her dad's heart. She went in her parents room and hugged her mom and dad lovingly.. 'thank you dad for whatever you did for me today.. ' Dad hugged her back 'Victory is miles away my child. This is just a start of your journey.. i do not wish he wins.. but if he does, i will be the most happiest person in the universe.. we will always give you the best my darling..... and he is not even equal to u..' Zia had tears in her eyes. She knew they were very hurt after meeting jai. He was no where even near to their expectations. Her heart ached to see her parents unhappy. But she was helpless. She was already drenched in love.. a never ending love. And there was no way turning back. She thanked her mom & dad for giving them time to prove themselves & kissed them goodnight.

'Jenn. Do you think i did the right thing today?' Laying on the bed in the darkness of the room, zia's dad asked his wife. She remained silent for sometime. 'I don't know david. But if you ask me, i found the boy genuine. I mean, he did come to meet us inspite of knowing he will be disapproved. He could have chosen not to.. if he has guts to face this situation, he can face any situation in life. I think he will definitely prove himself within a year. Don't you think so?' 'No jenn. You are partially correct. He may get success in life, but not within a year. It's impossible to do something solid in life in a year's time. Life is not that easy.' Zia's mom looked at him. She could clearly see his eyes in the dark. 'Then you should've clearly said a no today itself. Why did you have to give that one year time? Unnecessary hopes..' 'Necessary hopes jenn. Zia will not know what to expect from life unless she has a hope for something and it gets crushed..' 'so you are sure they will be crushed? What if he succeeds?? Would you marry her to him then?' ' He won't. I bet you. He won't.. '
