One Moment : Part 1
The wind was blowing in her face as she climbed up the steps. Suddenly, it started snowing and without a coat, she grabbed the lift and someone else also grabbed it. That dark lift joined two people togather. Iqbal looked up to find a beautiful girl about 5'3 standing in front of him, freezing as she wrapped her scraf around her and finally looked at him. Something about him attracted to her. He was 6'2 and wore a black jacket with black pants and a white collar shirt underneath it. He gave her warm smile and eventually offered his coat. She was so cold that she grabbed out of his hand and tried to fiddle with it, dropping her bag on the floor. He slowly moved towards her, grabbed the jacket and put it on her. He then picked up her bag and handed to her.
For just a moment, their eyes met and their world shattered as the lift started shaking. She was toubled over him. He and She kept gazing at each other. The tough part was over. The Silence broke after 2 hrs.
Neha: Hi, I am Neha.
Iq: I am Iqbal, nice to meet you.
Those were the only words they spoke for the rest of 5 hrs they were stuck in the elevator.
The lift opened up and they went their sepeate ways..

Present Day - The Khanna House
"Simi" "Simi" the women dazzled around the little girl about 6 years. Finally the women's breath was done and she sat down. "Not fair mom" replied the little girl.
Simi Khanna - the daughter of Iqbal and the little star of Survana's life.
S: Beta, I get tired easily, you know mama nah?
Si: Yeah mom, I am sorry, I forgot, your sick!
Survana stared at her daughter, for 6 years she has raised this girl, Simi was the apple of the Survana's life but in reality, Simi was the daughter of Neha and Iqbal. Neha left Simi in Survana's care and for since then, she has been taking care of her. Survana always wanted a happy family, in this 6 years, she recived Iqbal as her husband and Simi as her daughter, but the emptiness of Neha always bothered her. Iqbal still loved Neha till date but he never expressed it. In the world eyes, Iqbal was a perfect father which he was and a perfect husband which he was also, but Survana and Iqbal could never share a relationship that a husband and wife could share - A relationship that only had Neha's name written on it.
Jotting back to reality, Survana wished that she wasn't leaving so soon. Survana was diganosed with Breast Cancer and only had 6 months to live.
S: Haan beta, I am sick, but not for you.
Si: I love you mama!
S: I love you too! Chalo, time for Aarti.
A woman in yellow sari was doing the Aarti, and behind her was her 2 sons: Kartik & Iqbal. and Her only daughter: Sanchli and beside them was Survana and Simi. Naina was a widow.
The Aarti got over and Naina applied Tika on all. Sanchali took Simi to play.
N: Beta, when is your next doctor's meeting?
S: Mom, it's tomm.
N: Iqbal, make sure you take her!
I: Ji mom.

In the evening -
Iqbal was working on his laptop where Survana and Simi were playing a game. They were playing catch and when the ball dropped into Iqbal's imp papers. Iqbal stared at both of them. He walked over and took the ball and threw it back to them smiling. They all smiled and played a game of catch..

A girl in a white skirt, and pink top was waiting with loads of papers in her hand. A tall guy wearing a red shirt walked in with red roses in his hand. She stared at him and he made a face.

Neha and Vivan took a lunch tip at Masala's, which was customed for great Indian Food.
At Masala's....
Neha saw the food being placed there and she looked starved, She grabbed a Dosa and started eating it. Vivan just stared at her.
N: What?
V: You're just like a little kid, look at how u are eating!! (Laughing)
N: Shut up Vivan!
As Neha looked, She saw a mother with her son and daughter feeding them. Her eyes dwelled up in tears. Vivan turned around and saw her being sad. They took a walk.
V: Neha, do you miss her?
N: Of course Vivan, she is my daughter and I miss her a lot!
V: Neha, I never figured why you left your daughter and Iqbal?
