Sana- Sorry...Sorry...kyun kaha usne...

She wept..

Sana- iska matlab woh mujhe maaf nahi kiya...phir kyun aaya mera paas ..

She cried...

Sana- nahi...woh kyun maaf karega...mujhe ...maine galti nahi paap ki thi...woh kitna toota hoga uss vaqt...phir bhi woh mujhse aise kyun baat kar raha hai ..

She cried ...more and more...

Sid was lying on the bed...

Staring at the empty wall..

Tears continuously flowing from his eyes...

Sid- nahi Sid...Sana khush hai apni zindagi mein ...mujhe yahan nahi aana chahiye tha nahi....usko disturb nahi kar sakta main...

He closed his eyes...and controlled his
emotions..

He picked the cigeratte in his hands...and placed in between his fingers....

He went towards the balcony ..

Staring at the sky...

Sid- aaj toh mujhe ye karna hi hoga...

Sana was sitting on her bed ...hiding her face in her palms and crying to no end..

Suddenly she felt something...

Sana- nahi ..nahi ..10 saal pehle maine jo galti ki usko ek baar phir nahi kar sakti...

She immediately ran to his room...

It was open...

She ran inside immediately..

She saw him standing near the balcony...

Without thinking for a second...

She immediately ran towards him and hugged him from the back...

Once again the Cigarette touched the ground before reaching his lips..

The soft hands snaked around his waist ..

He closed his eyes to feel that moment for a while...

He took a deep breath...

He could feel her tears on his back...

Sid- Sana ...

He was about take her hands away from him..

Sana- please Sid... please....main maanti hun maine galti ki thi..maine bola na uske liye mujhe chahe jo karna hai karo...par aise sorry bolke mujhe hurt mat karo...

She cried. ..

Sid- Sana...maine bola na tumne koi galti nahi ki thi...

Sana- Sid...dus saal ...dus saal se issi guilt ke saath ji rahi hu ...har din mar mar ke ji rahi hun...kahi baar sochi thi maine aise jeena hi kyun...mar hi jaati ..

Sid was confused...but after hearing this..

He immediately turned around...

And shushed her with his finger on her lips...

Sid- Shsh aisa kabhi mat bolna...

Sana- Sid...main maanti hun main hi zimmedar hun sab kuch ke liye ..maine bahut galat kiya tumhare saath...mujhe jo sazaa dilana hai dilao...

She wept hugging him..

Sana- par please mujhse dur mat jaana...aur nahi hoga mere se...10 saal se ye saza bukhat rahi hun... please Sid..

Sid was confused...

Sid in his mind- matlab Sana...Sana dus saal se mere wait kar rahi thi...??...phir mujhse baat karne ki koshish kyun nahi ki aur... woh...woh bachcha...aur woh kartik..

His breath became uneven...

Sid in his- iska...iska ..matlab...

He was confused...

Words were struggling in his mouth...

Sid- Sa ... Sana ....

He called her...breaking the hug...

Sana- haan Sid..

He cupped her face in his palm...

Sid- tu...tum.  dus ..dus...saal se mera ...mera... intezaar kar rahi ho?...

He asked with so much difficulty...

Sana- ha...haan Sid..

She smiled with tears...

Sid- ky...kya...Sana...??

Sid in his mind- matlab... matlab ye...sach hai...haan Sach hai...

Words were struggling to come out but this time it's because of happiness....he was happy to no end...

He couldn't believe what's happening...

He felt a huge relief in his heart...

He was on clould nine...

He kissed her all over her face...

He pecked her lips..

And lifter her with so much happiness...

Sid- San..Sana ....tum mera wait kar rahi thi...tum aage nahi badi...??

He asked her again...

Sana- haan Sid...main kaise aage badhungi..main wahi ki wahi hun aaj bhi..??

Sid lifted above his head..with joy...

And twirled her around...

Sana- Sid...

She giggled...with tears..

He took her to the bed...and made her sit there...

He sat on the floor...

Holding her hands... tightly...

Sid- Sana tum sach mein aage nahi badhi...??

Sana- haan Sid...main aage kaise badh sakti hun...bilkul nahi ..

Sid- Sana..par uss din...uss din ke baad...tum mujhse baat karne ki koshish bhi nahi ki thi...mujhe laga tum mujhe bhul gayi...

Sana- Sid...uss waqt main bahut buri tarah se fass gayi thi...par mujhe nahi pata meri ek galti...hume itna bada sazaa de sakti hai..jab maine tere daadu ke obituary poster dekhi thi...main toot gayi thi puri tarah ...main turant tere ghar aayi thi...

Sid- ghar aayi thi??

Sana- haan....tujhe dhundh rahu thi pure ghar mein...uss din..mere zindagi ka sabse bura din hai...mujhe ussi din pata chala tum wahan se nikal chuke ho..

Sid- Sana...mujhe ek call toh kar sakti thi na..??..aur ghar mein se kisi ne mujhe nahi bataya ki tum aayi thi wahan...

Sana- maine hi mana ki thi....

Sid- tune??...kyun??

Sana- kyun ki saare galti meri thi...isliye...

Sid- Sana...main kitne baar bol raha hun tumhare koi galti nahi thi...

Sana- phir tune ghar kyun choda...aur school bhi...kyun..kyun tum mujhse itna dur chala gaya..??

She cried..

Sid-main kaise reh sakta wahan...
Bol sana... mere zindagi mein mere liye sabse zyada important  sirf dho log the...aur dono ne mujhe ussi din chod diya...mujhe wahan jaane ke liye majboor kar diya...mujhe samajh mein nahi aaya kya ho raha tha uss vaqt...main bhi marna chahta tha...

He broke down..

Sana- Sid aisa mat bol please...

She went near him and sat on the floor..

To console him...

She hugged him tightly to her heart ...

Sid- uss din jab tumne mujhe choda ..na ..main bahut roya....bilkul sambhal nahi paya khud ko...phir achanak maine apne phone ko dekha...ghar se bahut sare missed calls aaya tha...jab maine uthaya ..mujhe kisi ne kuch nahi bola sirf turant ghar aane keliye kaha...Sana ...Sana...main bilkul expect nahi kar raha tha waisa kuch hoga ...par...

He couldn't control now...

He started to cry...

Sana couldn't look him at that condition...

She pulled him closer and closer...to her heart..

Sana- Sid... please ro mat ..

Sid- maine unko dekha Sana....unke room mein ...sa...sab log the...main turant andhar gaya...unke aankhein khuli nahi rahi thi...maine kitne baar bulaya unko...par woh uthe hi nahi...

He cried...

Sana- Sid... please ...

Sid- tu hi bol main kaise reh sakta tha uss ghar mein....mujhe nahi rehna wahan...jab jab main andhar aata tha woh mujhe bulate the baat karte the...main saare dil ki baat unko bata tha tha...uss din ke baat kisko bataunga main...kaun wait karega mere liye....main akela ho gaya bilkul akela..

Sana- nahi Sid....ab tum akele nahi ho main hun tumhare saath...har din har pal rahungi tere paas...

She touched his forehead with hers...

All the emotions which they had been dumping in their heart for the past 10 years ...were coming out...now...

They couldn't control themselves..their emotions...

Sid-  Sana tujhe pata hai...main har pal tere intezaar mein tha...agar ek Baar ...ek baar Sana mujhe call karegi yaa mujhse milegi...main turant yahan aane ke liye taiyyar tha...ye dekho....ye ...

He ran towards the cupboard...like a small child...

He took the jacket and the other phone ...

And came near her...

Sid- ye jacket yaad hai tujhe...??..tune mujhe diya na...Shimla mein...isko jahan bhi jaata tha saath hi leke jaata hun...aur ye dekh...iss phone mein mera woh number...wahi number hai jo main dus saal pehle use karta tha... isko humesha charge kar ke rakhta tha...aur paas hi rakhta tha...pata hai kyun...

She looked him without blinking...

He cupped her face...in his palms..

Sid- kyun ki mujhe laga ek na ek din meri Sana iss number par call karegi...mujhe apne paas bulayegi...mujhse pyaar karegi ...mujhe apne godh mein sulaa degi...

He was talking a smile child...

She was looking at him with a shock...

She pulled him closer and hugged him tightly...

Sid- kyun Sana...??..kyun nahi call kiya tune mujhe...kyun??...

Sana- kyun ki main selfish thi...aur maine tujhe use kiya...maine tumhe doll nahi bana na chahti..thi jab chaha rakha aur jab chaha phek diya...aur main tujhe deserve hi nahi karti...guilt main mar rahi thi...

Sid- Sana...aisa kuch nahi...tha..

He rubbed her back..

She wept hugging him..

Sana- tune bhi toh koshish nahi kiya na Sid..kyun???

Sid- kyun ki maine tujhe promise kiya...ki main tujhe kabhi disturb nahi karunga...yaad hai...uss aakhri din...

He smiled with tears..

Sana was totally broken now...

Sana- Sid....tum uss ek promise ke liye mere se itna din dur raha ??..

Sid- haan...aur ek aur promise kiya daadu ko...

Sana- kya??..

Sid- main tujhe kabhi hurt nahi karunga...

Sana was shivering...

She couldn't understand what's happening...

Sana in her mind- koi kisi se itna pyaar kaise kar sakta hai...

She cried...

Sid- aur sabse pehli baat main tumse bahut...bahut zyada pyaar karta hun ...apne jaan se bhi zyada...

Sana- Sid...tum kaise insaan ho...

She pushed him..

Sana- tum itne ache kyun ho??

She cried ...while pulling him again close to her..

She was crying more and more...

Sid smiled...

He kissed her forehead...

Sid- I love you baby...

He said ...finally...

She looked him...with so much love...

Tears were flowing....but it was all happy tears now...

Ten years ...after ten years she hearing this from him...

Each and every moment...she pinched herself to know whether it's a dream or truth....

It's a truth...yes it's a truth...

Sid- do you love me..??

Sana- ha...haan....I love you....only you...

She moved forward
Their nose touched each other's.. and then she placed her lips on his ...

And started to kiss him...
