Soon Sid started his business and within a few months he started gaining profits. But for that he had to work hard. He was working day and night. Now there was only one motive in his life that was making money and being successful. Other than that he was not thinking about anything else.

On the other hand, Sana's situation was being worse. She was seeing Sid's change in front of his eyes. But she had nothing to do. Just when she decided that she would put more efforts in their relationship, the situation totally changed. She was trying her best to maintain distance from Agastya as much as she could but Sid had no time to think about Sana and Agastya. Sana was happy that he was not doubting her anymore, neither he was behaving like a insecure person. But one thing that was bothering her was they were not the same lovey dovey couple anymore. Sid became so busy in his world that he had no time to spare for Sana.

One day Sana was waiting for Sid in her apartment. Now it became her daily routine as most of the times he used to return home late. And Sana used to fall asleep while waiting for him. But today she didn't fall asleep as she badly wanted to spend time with him.

After sometime Sid returned home being very tired. Sana served him dinner.

"Kaisa raha aaj ka din?" She asked sitting beside him.

"Bohut hectic tha. Bohut saare schools aur colleges mein order deliver kiya. Upar se naye orders bhi mile hai. Uske liye maal uthane jaana padha. I'm very tired. Bohut neend aa rahi hai mujhe." Sid said while eating.

"Itna kaam kyu kar raha hai Sid? Tabiyat kharab ho sakti hai teri." Sana said being worried for him.

"Life mein kuch bada karne ke liye hardwork karna padhta hai. Tu hi toh kehti thi. Bas ek baar yeh business acche se khada ho jaaye aur main apna khud ka sports equipments company khol loon, phir mujhe yeh hardwork nahi karni padegi. Jo employees mere under kaam karenge yeh sab unki zimmedari hogi." Sid said being lost in his dreams.

Sana gave a slight smile.

After having dinner, Sid went to his room and sat on the bed. He was doing some work on phone when Sana sat beside him and kept her head on his shoulder.

"Sid!" She uttered.

Sid just hummed looking at the phone's screen.

"It's been days since we made love. Aaj bohut mann ho raha hai mera tujhe pyaar karne ka." She said.

"Aaj nahi please. I'm feeling very sleepy. Bas yeh thoda sa kaam bacha hai yeh karke hi so jaunga."

Sana's face turned pale. Still she gave a forceful smile and said, "It's ok."

Sana laid on her side of the bed and tried to sleep. But sleep was far away from her eyes. She was thinking how to spend some quality time with Sid. She realised that now their relationship was at some stage when they both needed to spend time with each other. Otherwise it would lose the charm.

While thinking all this, Sana's eyes fell on Sid and she noticed that he fell asleep while sitting and holding the phone in his hand. He was undoubtedly very tired.

Sana smiled sadly and took the phone from his hand. She kept it beside the pillow.

Then she got up from the bed and made him lie properly. It was not easy for her to move him as he was too heavy but somehow she managed to do it. Sid didn't wake up as he was in a deep sleep.

Sana covered him with the duvet and then brought her face close to his face. He was sleeping like a baby. Sana kissed his whole face and at last kissed his lips.

After that she again lied down beside him and hugged him. Tears started flowing from her eyes thinking how everything changed between them.

"Mujhe paata hai tu pura din bohut mehnat karta hai. Aur yeh bhi paata hai ki yeh sab tu mere liye karta hai. Taa ki future mein tu mujhe khush rakh sake. Lekin meri khushi sirf tujh mein hai Sid. Tere saath time spend karne mein hai. Sayad abhi tere paas waqt nahi hai but I won't give up so easily. Main humare rishte ko pehle jaisa bana ke rahungi." She said in her mind and wiped her tears.

Next Day...

Sid was standing outside their room as the door was locked from inside.

"Sana tu itni der se andar kya kar rahi hai? Mujhe delivery dene jaana hai uske baad college mein jaana hai. Upar se tune mera phone bhi chhupa diya hai. Please mera phone lauta de aur breakfast bana de." Sid said getting impatient.

"Aa rahi hoon bas ek minute." Sana replied from inside.

Sid made a face.

After sometime Sana said, "Main darwaja khol rahi hoon. Lekin pehle tu piche mud. Idhar dekhna mat."

"Kya? Lekin kyu?" Sid asked being confused.

"Piche mud warna main bahar hi nahi aaungi."

Sid nodded his head in disbelief and faced his back.

Then Sana came out of the room and said, "Now turn."

Sid turned to her and widened his eyes seeing Sana.

She was wearing a plain pink coloured top with jeans and she made braids on both sides of the hair.

Sana's Outfit👇👇

"Yeh kya hai?" Sid asked laughing.

"Lag rahi hoon na 12th class wali Sana?" She asked playing with her braids.

"Haan but suddenly tera yeh roop kyu?"

Sana smiled and said, "Because I feel uss time pe hum dono best the. Naya naya pyaar ho raha tha aur kitne restless ho jaate the hum ek dusre ke saath time spend karne ke liye. Mujhe lagta hai humein unn palon ko wapas se jeena chahiye. Isliye aaj no college, no business works, aur naa hi main hospital mein jaaungi. Hum dono pura din ek dusre ke saath bitayenge. What do you say?"

"Lekin Sana mujhe delivery dene...."

Sana didn't let him finish and gave him his phone.

"Nitin ko call karke bol de. Woh delivery kar dega. Uske baad iss phone ko switched off karke tu mujhe de dega. Samjha?" Sana said ordering him.

Having no option, Sid nodded his head and took the phone. He talked to Nitin for some time and then gave the phone to Sana switching it off.

"Room pe tere liye shirt rakha hai. Woh pehen ke aa jaa." She said further.

"Mere liye bhi alag kapde hai?" Sid asked.

"Haan. Main 12th class wali Sana lag rahi hoon toh tujhe bhi 12th class wala Sid lagna hoga na? Ab zaldi jaa. Mere paas zyada time nahi hai."

Sid chuckled and entered the room.

After sometime he came out wearing this👇👇

A huge smile came to Sana's face seeing him in this.

"Is it okay?" Sid asked.

"Perfect!" Sana said caressing his hair lovingly.

"So where are we going?"

"City roaming ke baare mein kya khayal hai?"

"Sounds good."

Sana wrapped her hands around Sid's arm and said, "Let's go, Mr. Problem!"

"As you say, Ms. Solution!" Sid said.

Then they both smiled looking at each other and left.

They started walking in the city holding each others' hands. Sana was very happy after getting a chance to spend time with Sid. She wanted to live the moment fully. Sid was also feeling relaxed. After a long time he was doing something other than working all the day.

Like this they were talking to each other and enjoying.

After sometime Sana said, "Yaar mujhe na bohut bhukh lagi hai. Humne toh breakfast bhi nahi kiya. Chal pehle kuch khate hai."

Suddenly Sid's eyes fell on a five star restaurant.

"Ek baar mera business khada ho jaaye, phir tujhe iss five star restaurant mein khilaunga, apne paison se." Sid said looking at it.

But it didn't make Sana happy. Instead of that her eyes fell on a roadside Dosa stall and she ran towards it. Sid also followed her.

"Tera toh paata nahi, lekin main humesha yeh roadside khana hi kha na pasand karungi. Chahe mere paas paise ho yaa naa ho."

Saying that Sana ordered Paper Dosa for themselves. Sid smiled seeing how easily she found happiness in small things.

They both started having the Dosa. Sana was enjoying the food while Sid was thinking about work.

"Arrey yaad aaya. Mujhe ek bohut hi important kaam karna hai. Kya mujhe mera phone mil sakta hai?"

Sana immediately gave him a death glare.

"Accha sorry." Sid said getting scared.

Sana smiled in her mind.

After than, they entered a park. Sana saw some children playing with bubble wands.

"Mujhe bhi woh chahiye." Sana said cutely pointing her fingers towards it.

Sid laughed and said, "Lekin inn se toh bacche khelte hai."

"Tu bhul gaya? Main abhi 12th class wali Sana hoon. Ab mujhe zaldi se woh laa ke de warna main tujhse baat nahi karungi." Sana said showing fake anger.

Sid sighed and went to buy the bubble wands.

After sometime he came back and gave the bubble wand to Sana.

"Woh dukandaar soch raha tha ki main apne bacche ke liye kharid raha hoon yeh." Sid said.

"Iss mein galat kya hai? Main toh teri baby hi hoon." Sana said to which Sid chuckled.

They both sat on a bench and Sana started forming bubbles.

Sid was watching her with love-filled eyes. After sometime Sana also looked at him and smiled.

"Sid kya hum har waqt aise nahi reh sakte? Aise saath mein enjoy karna, chhoti chhoti chizo mein khushiyan dhund le na, ek dusre ke aankhon mein kabhi kabhi yun hi kho jaana, this is us. Why can't we always stay like this?"

Sid was going to reply when Sana's phone started ringing.

She took out her phone from the bag. It was Nitin's call.

Sana picked up the call and said, "Hello!"

"Thank God Bhabhi aap ne phone uthaya. Sid kidhar hai? Uska phone switched off aa raha hai. I have to talk to him. It's urgent." He said.

"Main usse deti hoon."

Saying that she gave the phone to Sid.

"Nitin ka call hai." She said further.

Sid immediately took the phone.

While talking to Nitin, his face grew serious which Sana noticed.

"Woh sorry main thoda busy tha...... Haan tu mujhe unn client ke numbers bhej de....... Hmm...."

Sid cut the call and face-palmed himself.

"Kya hua?" Sana asked being worried.

"Jo hona tha woh hi hua." He said sternly. "Sana aage se na mere phone ko switched off karne ke liye mat kehna. Ab main pehle ki tarah free nahi hoon. Important calls aate hai mujhe. Abhi thodi der ke liye phone switched off tha iss hi bich itne saare clients ke call aa gaye. Bahar se orders aa rahe hai, mujhe unse baat karni hai. Sana please give my phone back. Now it's enough."

With a sad face, Sana gave his phone back. Only for that day Sana wanted to keep him away from work's stress. Was she wrong?

Getting his phone back, Sid stood up and started walking while talking on phone.

Soon he became busy in work. Sana was sitting on the bench alone and Sid was standing far away from her while talking to his clients. Hours passed but his work didn't finish.

Sana was feeling very lonely. She looked behind and saw Sid. She started shedding silent tears seeing the distance between them.

Yeh Dooriyan
Yeh Dooriyan
Yeh Dooriyan

In Raahon Ki Dooriyan
Nigahon Ki Dooriyan
Hum Rahon Ki Dooriyan
Fanah Ho Sabhi Dooriyan

Sana remembered their childhood memories.

"Sid ek time tha jab hum ek dusre se baat tak nahi karte the. Lekin lakh narazgi hone ke bawajood hum ek dusre ko samajhte the, paas aane ke mauke dhundte the. Aur aaj? Itne paas hone ke bawajood bhi itni doori kyu?" She said in her mind while crying.

Kyun Koi Paas Hai
Door Hai Kyun Koi
Jaane Na Koi Yahan Pe

Aa Raha Paas Ya Door Mein Ja Raha
Janu Na Mein Hoon Kahan Pe

Sana realised that for the first time in spite of being with Sid, she was lonely. And there was no way to get rid of this loneliness.

Yeh Dooriyan

In Raahon Ki Dooriyan
Nigahon Ki Dooriyan
Hum Rahon Ki Dooriyan
Fanah Ho Sabhi Dooriyan
