Chapter 20: Success Matters

Later That Night...

Sana and Sid were sleeping in their room hugging each other. Suddenly Sana's phone started ringing.

Sana's sleep broke by this. She picked up the call and said in a sleepy voice, "Hello!.... What?.... Yeah I'm coming...."

Sana hanged up and hold her head.

Sid's sleep also broke. He sat up and asked, "Kis ka call tha?"

"Hospital se. Keh rahe hai ki koi emergency hai. Mujhe jaana hoga." Sana replied.

"Abhi?"

Sana nodded in yes.

"Itni raat ko tera jaana safe rahega?"

"Sid humara job aisa hi hai. Iska koi time schedule nahi hai. Whenever a patient needs us, we have to be there. Pehle bhi kar chuki hoon night shift. Don't worry, I'll be safe."

Sana said so that he didn't worry for her.

"Main tujhe chhor doon hospital?" Sid asked.

"Sid iski kya zaroorat hai? Tu abhi rest kar. Kaal subah tujhe college bhi jaana hai. Main cab book kar lungi."

Saying that Sana stood up.

She got dressed for hospital.

"Bye!" Sana said giving a kiss on his cheeks.

Sid also kissed her cheeks and said, "Dhyan se jaana."

Sana nodded in yes and left the room.

Here, Sid couldn't sleep anymore. He came to the living room and started watching some clips of football matches in his laptop.

He was continuously looking at the clock and waiting for Sana to come.

After two hours...

Sid closed his laptop and saw the time. It was 2.00 am at midnight. He tried to call Sana. But her phone was switched off as she was in the operation theatre. Sid was being worried for her but he had nothing to do.

While waiting for Sana, Sid slept on the sofa.

After three hours...

Sid's sleep broke suddenly. He looked at the time. It was 5.00 am in the early morning. Sana still didn't return.

He decided to call her again but suddenly he heard a sound of car.

Sid went to the balcony and saw Sana standing with Agastya near his car. They were standing close and Sana was smiling at him which Sid didn't like. He hold the railings of the balcony tightly to control his anger.

Meanwhile...

"Puri raat operation karke thak chuki hogi. Ghar jaa ke acche se rest kar lena" Agastya said.

Sana nodded in yes.

"Thanks mujhe yaaha tak drop karne ke liye. Warna itni early morning ko cab milna muskil tha." She said.

"Roshni how many times did I say that don't say thanks to me?",

Sana smiled hearing that.

"Aage se yaad rakhungi." She said smiling and started leaving.

Suddenly Agastya said, "Roshni!"

Sana looked at him.

"Mujhe tumse kuch kehna tha." He said.

"Haan Sir boliye." Sana said.

Agastya thought to confess.

"I wanted to say....."

Agastya started hesitating. Sana got curious to know.

At last he sighed and said, "Bye!"

Sana again smiled and said, "Bye Sir!"

They waved each other bye and Sana went inside the apartment.

Agastya nodded his head in disbelief.

"God knows main usse kab baata paaunga." He said in his mind and got inside his car.

Here Sana entered her room. Seeing her coming, Sid came out of the balcony.

"Tu itni subah subah uth gaya?" Sana asked seeing him.

Sid didn't reply.

Sana noticed his eyes and asked, "Raat ko thik se soya nahi hai na tu?"

"I was waiting for you." Sid replied in a serious tone.

Sana smiled seeing how much he cared for her. She went and hugged him.

"Bebu maine kaha tha na so jaa. I often go to hospital at midnight. Tu har raat ko aise jag ke tabiyat kharab toh nahi sakta na? Isliye aage se jab main bahar rahu, tu so jaana. Subah uth ke tu mujhe apne paas hi payega." Sana said hugging him.

Sid hugged her back while thinking about the scene he saw a moment ago.

"Sana maine bahar Agastya ko dekha. What was he doing?" Sid asked after sometime.

"Woh mujhe ghar drop karne aaye hai." Sana said breaking the hug.

"Ohh accha...... Aaj hi yaa pehle bhi aa chuke hai tujhe drop karne?" He asked further.

"Bohut baar aaye hai. Actually jab mujhe late ho jaati hai lautne mein, he drops me." Sana said casually but Sid's expression changed.

He didn't know why he became sad. Maybe insecure.

Sana saw his expression and asked, "But why are you asking all this? Sid you are okay with it, right?"

Sid gave a forceful smile and said, "Of course I'm okay with it. I was just asking.

Sana went near him and asked, "Sacchi? Tu upset toh nahi hai?"

Sid nodded in no.

"Prove kar."

Sid pecked Sana's lips making her smile.

"Phir thik hai. Ab tu so jaa. Main change kar ke aati hoon." Sana said caressing his hair and went to change.

Sid laid on the bed and closed his eyes while trying to get all the rubbish thoughts out of his mind.
______________________________________

Few days passed like this. Sid and Sana both were doing great in their own fields. After their work of whole day, when they met at night, it would be full of romance. Though Sid and Sana were not married, they were living like actual husband and wife. But their families had no idea about it. Also Sid and Sana had no plans to tell their families about their live-in relationship. Above all they both were living happily.

But the only thing that was creating problems in their relationship was Sid's insecurity because of his job. As he was just a sports teacher and earned very less than Sana, it somewhere made him insecure. He never expressed it directly but suppressed it inside his mind. Cherry on the top was Sana's friendship with Agastya which was making Sid more insecure. No matters how many times he tried to divert his mind from the thought but eventually it came to his mind, what if Sana left him for Agastya as he was more successful than Sid?

While Sana was totally unaware of Sid's insecurities. According to her, she was living her fairy tale where her all dreams came to true and it was their happily ever after.

One day, Sana was getting ready in her room while talking to her father. That day she was invited to a wedding reception of one of her colleagues. Sid was still in college. After he would come, they would go to the reception together.

After sometime, Sid returned home. He was going to enter the room but stopped hearing Sana's conversation with her father.

"Papa aap ki problem kya hai? Pehle aap ne Sid se kaha ki woh football chhor de. Usne aap ki khushi ke liye football chhor diya. Phir aap ne usse pressurize kiya ki woh 6 mahine ke andar job dhund le...."

Santokh Ji didn't let Sana complete and asked, "Yeh tujhse Sid ne kaha?"

"Papa you know him. Woh kabhi nahi kahega. Mujhe Mummy se paata chala. But that's not important. Ab jab Sid job kar raha hai aap ko uss se bhi problem hai?" Sana said getting very upset.

"Mujhe koi problem nahi hai. Main bas itna keh raha hoon ki woh kisi better job ke liye try kare. Akhir ek sports teacher banke woh kitna kama lega?"

"Woh chahe kitna bhi kamaye mujhe uss se fark nahi padta. Aap bhuliye mat hum dono mil ke earn karte hai. So our future is secure."

"And what about his success? Sana main Sidharth ka bura nahi chahta. Main chahta hoon ki woh successful bane teri tarah."

Sana gave a sarcastic smile and said, "Uske success ka raasta toh apne kab ka band kar diya. Ab woh successful ho yaa na ho... Main shaadi uss hi se karungi. It's my final decision."

Saying that Sana cut the call.

Sid made a sad face hearing the conversation. He was glad that Sana took stand for him in front of her father. But at the same time he was sad as he couldn't please her father yet. He had many hopes from Sid which he couldn't fulfil. According to Sid, Sana's father was right. He couldn't achieve success which Sana did. Was he really worth her? Sid felt like a loser.

When Sid was thinking all this standing outside the room, Sana saw him.

"Tu kab aaya?" Sana asked looking at him.

"Bas abhi abhi." He said entering the room.

"Tu na ready ho jaa. Humein nikal na hoga." Sana said while applying make-up on her face.

"Sana tu jaa. I'm very tired." Sid said sitting on the bed.

Sana frowned hearing that.

"Tu jaa matlab? Sid humne decide kiya tha na ki dono saath mein jaayenge? Abhi nakhre mat dikha aur ready ho jaa." She said.

"Mera mood nahi hai. Aur main waha jaake karunga bhi kya? Sab tere jaan pehchaan ke log hai waha. I'll get bored."

"You won't get bored." Sana said and went near him.

She bent and wrapped her hands around his neck.

"Aur agar tu ek good boy ki tarah meri saari baat maanta hai toh aaj raat ko tu jo chahega woh hi hoga. Main teri saari baat maanungi. No nakhra and bahana."

Saying that she winked at him.

"Matlab jaana hi hoga?" Sid asked to which Sana nodded in yes.

Sid sighed and said, "Accha abhi hat. Main jaa ke ready hota hoon."

Sana became happy.

"Mera Kullu!" She said cutely and kissed his forehead.

Then she moved from there.

Sid got ready and they both left home together.

At The Reception...

Sid and Sana went to the reception together. Sana introduced Sid to her colleagues. Her colleagues praised Sid and told Sana that she was lucky that she got a handsome man like him in her life. Sana smiled brightly hearing that. Agastya was not there at that time. Everyone thought that he would not come as he never attended this kind of parties.

Sana was talking to the bride while Sid was getting bored. So he went to get a drink for himself.

He was going to the bar when he bumped into a man who dropped the glass of wine on his shirt.

"Shit!" Sid said wiping his shirt.

"Oops! Sorry! Sorry my brother!" The man said in a drunk voice.

He was so drunk that he couldn't even walk properly. He was going to fall but Sid hold him.

"Hey! Are you okay?" Sid asked the man.

"I'm fine.... And happy! I'm very much happy! She has got married. I'm very happy!"

While blabbering, the man sat on a chair and started drinking more.

Sid got confused seeing all this. He returned to Sana.

"Tere paas hanky hogi? Mere shirt pe wine gir gayi hai." He said.

"Tu dekh ke nahi pee sakta? Itni acchi
shirt kharab kar di." Sana said taking out her hanky.

"Maine nahi girayi. Uss admi ne galti se mere upar wine gira diya." Sid said pointing towards the drunk man.

Seeing him, the bride's expression changed.

Sid took the hanky and wiped his shirt.

"The man is looking so drunk. Akhir hai kaun woh?" Sid asked after sometime.

"My ex." The bride replied.

Sid and Sana widened their eyes.

"We were together since college. And you won't believe, we were crazily in love with each other. Saath mein ghumna, raat bhar chatting karna, families se chhup chhup ke milne jaana, those were some beautiful days." She said further.

"Agar itna pyaar tha toh chhor kyu diya? Problem kya thi?" Sana asked.

"Uska profession." The bride replied. "He is just a drummer. He plays in some band. Usne kaha tha woh ekdin bohut successful ho jayega. Main bhi sapne dekhti rahi. But there is a huge difference between dreams and reality. He couldn't achieve success. So how would I marry him? Shaadi ke baad logo se kya kehti? Ki main ek well-known doctor hoon aur mera husband ek drummer?"

She gave sarcastic laugh and said, "Isliye maine usse chhor diya. Aise ladke se pyaar kiya jaa sakta hai but shaadi nahi. Abhi mere shaadi ke har function mein aake aise drink karta hai. Thank God abhi tak koi scene create nahi kiya. You guys just ignore him."

Sana got angry hearing it but didn't express.

"Kehti hai pyaar karti thi. Isse toh pyaar ka matalab bhi nahi paata hoga." She said in her mind.

While Sid's face turned pale hearing it.

"Itna matter karta hai kya success?" He asked suddenly and Sana immediately looked at him. She couldn't understand why Sid asked this.

"Of course matter karta hai." The bride replied. "Specially ek ladke ke liye. Field chahe koi bhi ho, aap ke husband ko aap se zyada successful hona hi chahiye. Look at my husband. He is a famous businessman. At least I can introduce him as my husband in front of other people. By the way Sidharth, tum kya karte ho?"

Sid didn't say anything. He was feeling ashamed.

Sana was going to reply when Agastya came there.

"Congratulations!" Agastya said to the bride.

"Oh my God Sir! What a surprise! I didn't think that you would come." The bride said.

"I wouldn't. But Ms. Gill convinced me. I have to say that she is really good at convincing someone." Agastya said looking at Sana to which she gave a smile.

Sid got jealous seeing it.

"By the way Roshni I was looking for you. I have something to discuss with you. Come with me."

Saying that Agastya took Sana with him holding her hand. He didn't give her a chance to say anything.

Soon the bride also left to attend other guests.

Sid was standing alone and watching Agastya and Sana with anger-filled eyes. They were talking, smiling and laughing which was not bearable for Sid.

After sometime they both even started dancing. Sid thought that Sana totally forgot him because of Agastya.

"So success matters." He uttered sadly.
