They then go to the station to welcome him, where Sid (Tanuj Virwani) run into Nayantara (Izabelle Leite). Then feeling sorry for themselves they begin to make their way home when they are struck by a black car. After chasing the car it is revealed that it is Sam. He apologises to Zizo and promises to fix his father's car.
After that they begin their fun by partying, throwing eggs at everyone's house. It is also shown that Sam's relationship with Sid's mom is very strong. Sam's father left him when he was six and in shock of it, his mother became an alcoholic and remarried.
After a few days Sid runs into Nayantara in a music store, he begins to fall for her. Sam also meets Nayantara at a club with her sister and has also fallen for her. Also bobby is shown dancing with her sister.
The flashbacks eventually lead to revealing that Sam committed suicide for which Sid thinks of himself as the reason.

Upon finding this out, Sid and Nayantara reunite.
The story ends with a reunion between the remaining cowboys as they remember the past and the cherished moments they spent with each other and with their friend Sam, because if Sam were alive, that is exactly what he would've done... some friendships live on to last forever.
