The party went on. Everyone was busy chitchatting and eating snacks. Suddenly Medha took Sana to a corner as she wanted to talk to her about something.

"Kya baat karni hai tujhe?" Sana asked.

"Actually... Jab maine tum dono se woh question pucha tum dono ne koi answer kyu nahi diya? Were you guys embarassed or.... You both never did it?" Medha asked.

Sana looked down blushing. This topic was making her shy.

"Mere saamne toh mat sharma yaar." Medha said.

Sana looked at Medha and said, "You are right. We never did it."

"But why? 6 years se tum dono saath ho. Ek baar bhi nahi hua?"

Sana nodded in no.

"That means you believe in that after marriage sex wala concept...."

"Aisa nahi hai." Sana said. "We never did it because we never felt like it's the right time. Jab sahi time ayega toh karenge. Chahe woh shaadi se pehle ho yaa shaadi ke baad."

"Sana iska koi right time nahi hota. Jis time tum dono ke andar woh feeling aayegi woh hi right time hai. By the way, did he never force you?"

"Never." Sana said proudly. "Yeah he wants it but not without my consent. Usne sab kuch mere upar chhor diya hai."

"That's so nice of him." Medha said smiling. "So I think we should take the initiative."

"Means?"

"Dekh Sana, mamla simple hai. If we are ready to give our virginity to a person that means we are trusting him. Aur yeh trust humare partner ko special feel karwata hai. Phir uske andar koi insecurity nahi rahegi. Usse aisa lagega ki you are his in every way. At least yeh mera experience hai. And trust me, it is the most beautiful experience I ever had."

Sana was hearing everything with a smile on her face. If there was a way to make him feel more special, she wanted to try it.

"Waise yeh tum dono ka personal matter hai. I should not be the one to interfere. Maine bas tujhse apna experience share kiya. You know, a lady to lady conversation. Don't take me wrong." Medha said.

"Yeah I understand. Don't worry. And thanks for your advice." Sana said smiling.

"Sanaaaa!" Sid called suddenly. "Aur kitni der Medha ke saath ghusar fusar karegi. Idhar aa. Tera snacks thanda ho jayega."

"Seriously Medha. Saal bhar ka conversation abhi karna hai kya? Come here." Ayush said.

Both Medha and Sana looked at each other and nodded their heads in disbelief.

"These guys can't give us relief even for a second." Medha said.

"I feel you." Sana said.

"Medha!"

"Sana!"

"We are coming!" They both said together.

After The Party...

Everyone was returning home. Sid, Kushal and Ayush were standing with their bikes.

"Tum sab ka accha hai. Ladko ke paas apna bike hai aur yeh dono ladkiya apne apne boyfriends ke bike pe baith ke safely ghar pohuch jayengi. Sirf main hi hoon jiske paas koi nahi hai. Adhi raat ko iss bichari ladki ko akele cab pe ghar jaana honga." Shivangi said making a crying face.

"It's ok Shivangi. Tu humare saath aa sakti hai. Humare bike pe bohut jagah hai." Ayush said only to get a hard pinch from Medha on his hand.

"Ahhhhh!" Ayush screamed.

"Kya hua?" Everyone asked.

Ayush looked at Medha who was giving him death glare. Ayush gulped his saliva.

"Nahi hai. Humare bike pe jagah nahi hai. Aur ek bike ke upar zyada logo ka baith na allowed nahi hai na." Ayush said giving a stupid smile to which Shivangi rolled her eyes.

"Don't worry Ayush. Jab main apni bestie ki love story mein kabab mein haddi nahi banti, teri love story mein bhi nahi banungi." Shivangi said.

Then she looked at Kushal and said, "Waise koi chahe toh mujhe ghar drop kar sakta hai. But it's his choice."

Sana noticed it and said in a teasing way, "Haan haan. Aur Kushal toh hai hi tera permanent driver...."

Kushal and Shivangi both widened their eyes hearing it.

"I mean... Kushal tu Shivangi ko drop kar de na." She said further.

Kushal sighed and said, "Thik hai chal. Main hi tujhe drop kar deta hoon. Kya karu? Girlfriend toh hai ni meri. Bas Driver ka kaam kar raha hoon."

Shivangi made an angry face hearing that.

"Haan toh bana lena girlfriend, kisne maana kiya hai?"

"Tujhse puch ke nahi banaunga. Samjhi? Ab chal." Kushal said wearing his helmet.

Shivangi made a face and sat on his bike. Sana sat on Sid's bike and Medha sat on Ayush's bike. They bid each other goodbye and left.

Soon Sid and Sana reached Sana's home. Sana got down from the bike.

"Bye! Good night!"

Saying that Sana was about to leave but Sid hold her hand to stop her.

Then he removed his helmet and said, "Bina goodnight kiss diye hi chali jayegi?"

Sana smiled and pecked his lips.

Sid widened his eyes and said, "Now that's surprising! Aaj mere maangte hi tune kiss de diya. Koi nakhre nahi dikhaye. Jaise tu humesha kehti hai...."

Sid started mimicking.

"Sid abhi nahi, Sid koi dekh lega, Mummy dekh legi, Papa dekh lenge, pados wali Chachi dekh legi blah blah blah!"

Sana slapped his shoulder slightly and Sid laughed.

"Hogaya tera? Ab main jaau?" Sana said.

"Nahi mujhe seriously jaan na hai. Meri girlfriend itni changed kaise hogayi?" Sid said.

"So Mr. Sidharth Shukla, aap ki girlfriend changed nahi hui hai. Nakhre maine isliye nahi dikhaye kyu ki jab Bangalore chali jaungi phir yeh kissing and all bohut dino ke liye band ho jayega. So abhi main tujhe zyada tadpana nahi chahti kyu ki sirf ek hi hafta bacha hai humare paas."

As soon as Sana said this, Sid's expression changed.

"Phir se woh hi baat? Maine kaha na tu Bangalore nahi jaa rahi hai?" He said angrily.

"Sid try to understand. Itne bade job ka offer main reject nahi kar sakti. It's not a matter of joke." Sana said.

"So you have decided, right? Matlab mere words ki koi value hi nahi hai."

"Value hai Sid. Agar value nahi hoti toh main tujhe itna maana ti nahi, itni baar tujhse permission nahi maangti. I just want your support. After all it's about my dream."

"Oh again you started this. Your dream, your career, your hardwork! Yeh hi tere liye sab kuch hai nah? What about me? Do I mean anything you? Do you even love me?" Sid said taunting her.

Sana got hurt hearing that. Her eyes became moist.

"How can you say that? You mean everything to me. 6 saal saath rehne ke baad bhi you are questioning my love for you? Just because main long distance relationship mein rehne ke liye bol rahi hoon? Do you know how many people maintain long distance relationship? Still they are happy. Agar woh yeh kar sakte hai then hum kyu nahi?"

Sid sighed and said, "Sana mujhse yeh long distance relationship nahi hoga. I can't afford to stay away from you. Tere paas ab ek hi option hai. You have to choose. Me or your career?"

Sana became shocked hearing that.

"Mujhe laga tha tu mere career ko humesha support karega. I didn't expect this from you." Sana said with disbelief.

"Sana I still support your career. Mumbai mein reh ke tujhe jo karna hai tu kar. Lekin Mumbai se bahar tu nahi jaayegi. Tu humesha kehti thi na ki main tera first priority hoon? Now it's time to prove that." Sid said without looking at her as he didn't want to get melted seeing her tears.

Sana wiped her tears and said, "Mujhe kuch prove karne ki zaroorat nahi hai. My heart knows that you will always be my first priority. Lekin main itni selfish nahi hoon jo apne career ko chhor doon, thik jaisa tune kiya. Apna career, apna passion, apna football sab kuch chhor diya."

Now Sid looked at Sana with disbelief.

"Yeh tu bol rahi hai? Your father was the one who asked me to leave football and get a government job for myself. Because woh apni beti ka haath kisi aise ladke ke haath mein nahi dena chahte the jiska koi future nahi hai. And according to him football players don't have a secure future. Tere liye maine football chhora aur tu hi mujhe blame kar rahi hai?" He said.

"That's what my point is. Tune unki baat kyu maani? You could have proved him wrong. Tune khud ko woh chance hi nahi diya. Tujhe laga Papa meri shaadi kisi aur se kara denge par aisa nahi hai. Main aisa kabhi hone nahi deti. You didn't keep faith on me, on our relationship."

"Sana mujhe seriously uss baare mein koi baat nahi karni. Mujhe sirf itna paata hai ki maine tere liye yeh sab kuch kiya. Aur ab tu mere liye kuch karegi yaa nahi....that's upto you. Main ab tujhe rokunga bhi nahi. Do whatever you want to do. Bangalore mein jaa, apna career bana..... Aur waha koi accha ladka dekh ke settle bhi ho jaana."

Saying that he wore his helmet and left from there. Sana tried to stop him but he didn't.

Sana kept watching him going. Tears rolled down her cheeks.

"Usne kitna easily keh diya ki main kisi aur ke saath......."

Sana couldn't utter more words. She entered her home crying.

She was going upstairs, suddenly someone switched on the lights. Sana looked behind and saw her parents.

"Bahar se aate hi seedha apne kamre mein chali? Itni badi good news apne Papa ko baata na zaroori bhi nahi samjha?" Santokh Ji said.

Sana went to her father looking down. Santokh Ji smiled and hugged her.

"Congratulations my princess! I am proud of you." Santokh Ji said.

Sana gave a slight smile.

"Waise tu join kab se kar rahi hai?" Parminder Ji asked. "Humein packing bhi toh suru karni hogi."

"Main sayad join naa kar paau." Sana said leaving her parents confused.

"Kyu?" They asked.

"Sid nahi maan raha. Maine usse samjhane ki bohut koshis kiyi but he is not ready to listen anything." She replied.

"Nahi maan raha matlab?" Santokh Ji said angrily. "Toh kya tu uske liye apna career chhor de? Uska khud ka career nahi ban raha toh kya tera bhi na bane?"

"Aap shaant ho jaiye please." Parminder Ji said stopping her husband as he was getting hyper. "Mujhe baat karne di jiye."

Then she went near Sana and said, "Main tum dono ki situation samajh rahi hoon. Dekh Beta, career bhi tera hai aur love life bhi tera. Inn dono mein se kisko zyada priority deni hai yeh humse behtaar tu jaanti hai. Isliye jo bhi decision lena yeh soch ke lena ki teri khushi kis mein hai. Baki tu meri samajhdar bacchi hai. Dono ko eksaath kaise manage karna hai yeh toh tujhe paata hi hoga."

Sana smiled and nodded in yes.
