Sid entered his room and started throwing things angrily to take out his frustration. No, he was not a person who liked to control someone's life. He always wanted to support Sana in her career. But it didn't mean that he would allow Sana to go away from him. Maybe there was a fear hidden in his subconscious mind, a fear of losing her. What if Sana forgets him after going to Bangalore? What if that out of sight, out of mind theory actually happens?

Sid sat on his bed with a thud. Even in his darkest dream, he couldn't think about it. He couldn't again lose that person who is closest to him. He just couldn't.

Suddenly Rita Ji came there and saw the scenery of the room. She nodded her head in disbelief.

"Phir se jhagra kiya Sana ke saath?" She asked.

Sid looked at Rita Ji but didn't say anything.

"Kyu sata ta rehta hai meri Bacchi ko?"

Saying that Rita Ji picked up his phone from the bed and gave it to him.

"Abhi call kar ke sorry bol usse." She said moreover she ordered.

"Mom aap ka na sahi hai. Jhagra kis wajah se hua yeh nahi paata lekin maan liya ki saari galti meri hai." Sid said being annoyed.

Rita Ji sighed and said, "Itna toh jaanti hoon ki Sana bewajah tujhse jhagra nahi karegi. Woh adat teri hai. Phir bhi baata de. Baat kya hai?"

"Sana ko Bangalore mein job mili hai aur woh mujhe chhor kar waha jaana chahti hai." He said angrily.

But Rita Ji became happy hearing that.

"Arrey wah! Yeh toh bohut acchi baat hai. Iss mein problem kya hai?" She said.

"Acchi baat hai? Mom woh mujhse dur jaana chahti hai."

"Par Beta kaam hai uska. Agar usse Bangalore mein accha kaam mil raha hai toh woh kyu na kare? Tu bhi udhar hi job dhund ne ki koshis kar. Phir dono saath mein Bangalore settle ho jaana."

"She was saying the same thing. But iski koi guarantee toh nahi hai na ki mujhe Bangalore mein job mil hi jayegi? And I can't stay away from her for long."

Rita Maa smiled and caressed his hairs.

"I know tu uss se bohut pyaar karta hai. Lekin pyaar mein ek dusre ko space dena bohut zaroori hota hai. Zaroori hota hai ek dusre ke decisions ko respect karna. Maine pehle bhi kaha hai if you really love someone then let that person go. It's about her career. You should be the happiest person to see her successful. Aur yaad rakhna tu jitna uske life ko control karne ki koshish karega, woh tujhse utna dur ho jayegi. Isliye usse mat rok. Uski khushiyan uss se mat cheen. Balki uski khushi mein khud khush hone ki koshish kar."

Sid started thinking. His mother was right. He shouldn't snatch away her happiness from her.

"Mom aap ne sahi kaha. Main kuch zyada hi immaturely behave kar raha tha. Kya kya nahi bol diya maine Sana ko. Even I told her to choose between me and her career. She must be very upset." He said face-palming himself.

"Expected tha tujhse. Gadha jo hai ek no. ka. Ab usse sorry bol."

Sid nodded in yes.

"Main jaa rahi hoon sone. Good night."

Saying that Rita Ji kissed his forehead and left the room.

Sid was about to call Sana, but he stopped himself.

"Nahi. Aise nahi. Maine jaake usse face to face sorry bolunga." He said in his mind and smiled.

In Sana's Room...

Sana was sitting on her bed holding the appointment letter in her hand. Sid's words were roaming around her mind.

"You have to choose. Me or your career?"

Sana sighed and said in her mind, "No. I can't lose him."

Thinking that she kept her appointment letter on the table. Suddenly she heard a knock at the balcony door. She knew who was it.

Sana opened the door.

"I am sorry." They both said to each other at the same time.

"Tu kyu sorry bol rahi hai?" Sid asked being confused.

"Football ko leke tujhe sunaya. I should have thought before saying. I know jab yeh topic uth ta hai tu kitna emotional ho jaata hai. I am really sorry." Sana said.

Sid nodded in no and hold her hands.

"No Sana, I am sorry. Galti mujhse hui hai. Maine gusse mein aake paata nahi tujhe kya kya bol diya. I should have not said that I....."

Sana didn't let him finish and said, "It's ok. Your anger was justified. Aur maine soch liya hai mujhe kya karna hai."

"Kya socha?" Sid asked curiously.

Sana removed her hands and sat on the bed.

"I'm not doing this job." She said calmly.

"What?" Sid asked with disbelief. He sat beside Sana and said, "Sana think wisely. Mujhe koi problem nahi hai tere Bangalore jaa ke job karne se. Earlier I was being stubborn but now I have understood the importance of your career."

Sana looked at Sid with teary eyes.

"So you changed your mind?" She asked.

"Yeah I....."

"Wow Sid! Just wow! Abhi kuch der pehle tune mujhse kaha tere aur apne career mein se kisi ek ko choose karne ke liye. Aur ab jab maine apna decision le liya, you suddenly changed your mind. But you know what, I'm not gonna change my decisions according to you. Maine ab decide kar liya hai ki main Bangalore nahi jaungi, toh nahi jaungi." Sana said in a crying voice expressing her pain and anger.

Sid tried to calm her down.

"Sana try to understand...."

"What should I understand?" She shouted. "You were asking me nah if I even love you or not? Tujhe prove chahiye tha na mere pyaar ka? De rahi hoon main tujhe prove. Chhor rahi hoon apna career."

"Sana main gusse mein tha..."

"Aur gusse mein aa ke tu mujhe kuch bhi bol dega? Baki sab toh phir bhi thik tha par.... Tune mujhe apne liye koi aur ladka dhund lene ko kaha? Do you know how does it sound to a person who loves you so much?"

Sana started crying. Sid immediately gave her a tight hug and started rubbing her back. It was the only way to calm her down. Sana buried her face in his chest. His shirt became wet because of her tears.

"Ssshhh! Do you actually think I mean all this? Tujhe paata hai na Baby main kitna possessive hoon tere ko leke? Uss waqt gusse mein jo muh pe aaya maine bol diya but reality toh yeh hai ki main kisi aur ladke ko tere paas bhi aane nahi de sakta. Tu sirf meri hai. Hai naa?"

After sometime Sana calmed down a little.

"Tu... Phir se.... Kabhi.... Mujhe.... Chhor ne.... Ki baat.... Mat karna.... Warna.... Main sachhi.... Marr jaungi..." Sana said sobbing.

Sid put his finger on her lips.

"Aise nahi bolte. We will always be together. Chahe kuch bhi ho jaaye." He said and kissed her forehead.

After that Sana wiped her tears. She was now much stable.

"Toh tu kab se join kar rahi hai?" Sid asked suddenly.

"Mujhe sach mein join nahi karna." Sana said.

"Woh toh ab decide ho chuka hai. Tu Bangalore jaayegi, uss hospital mein join karegi aur Asia ki best cardiac surgeon banegi."

Sana smiled hearing that.

Then she said, "Phir bhi. Paata nahi kyu mann nahi maan raha. Aaj hi yeh appointment letter aaya aur itna sab kuch ho gaya...."

"Meri wajah se hua hai." Sid cut in between. "I know that you are upset because of me. And I will help you to refresh your mind."

"Woh kaise?" Sana asked.

"Tujhe paata hai, jab humara mood bohut kharab ho aur aisa lage ki zindagi mein sab kuch bura ho raha hai, then we should talk about the good old memories. We will feel much better."

"Old memories? Like?"

"Like...."

Sid started thinking.

"Tujhe yaad hai jab main pehli baar tere room mein aaya tha?"

Sana remembered the day and said, "Of course yaad hai. Maine kabhi expect nahi kiya tha ki mere ghar mein teri first entry balcony se hogi."

"Tujhe laga tha ki main koi chor hoon. Phir tere andar ki jhansi ki rani achanak se jagi gayi and you were about to kill me with that pencil compass."

Sana started laughing thinking that.

"By the way meri koi galti nahi thi haan? Balcony pe chadh ke tune khud risk liya tha. You were so crazy at that time." Sana paused for a while and said, "No actually you are crazy. Isliye aaj bhi mere room mein tu balcony se aaya."

"Kya karu? Iss balcony se emotional attachment jo ho gayi hai." Sid said in a dramatic way and Sana again laughed.

"See, it actually works. Abhi kuch der pehle tu kitni sad thi and now you are actually happy." Sid said seeing her laughing.

Sana smiled.

"Ab tu try kar kuch yaad karne ki." Sid said.

Sana started remembering while looking around the room.

Suddenly she said, "Sid tujhe humari first hug yaad hai?"

"Haan haan. Iss hi room mein hui thi. All thanks to that cockroach.... No no, all thanks to you."

"Me? Why?"

"Tu cockroach se darke mujh se aa ke nahi chipak ti toh hug bhi nahi hota. I think uss waqt tu mujhe hug karne ka bahana dhund rahi thi."

"And why will I do it?"

"Marti jo thi tujh pe." Sid said with full of attitude.

Sana looked at him with disbelief and asked, "Main tujh pe marti thi?"

"Aur nahi toh kya?"

"Probably in your dreams."

"Toh tu mujh pe nahi marti thi?"

"Nahi. Tu mujh pe marta tha." She said flipping her hair. "Aur woh cockroach wala drama bhi tune isliye kiya tha taa ki main aake tujhe hug karu."

"Oh hello! Zyada footage mat le. Main jaanta hoon tu mujh pe kitni fida thi. School mein chori chori mujhe dekha karti thi, jab bhi school mein koi football match hota tha toh teri nazre mujh pe teeki rehti thi, yaaha tak ki sapno mein bhi tujhe main hi dikhta tha."

Sana widened her eyes and asked, "Yeh sab tujhe kisne bataya?"

"Teri bestfriend ne." He replied.

"Uss Shivangi ki Bacchi ko toh main....."

Sana controlled her herself and sighed.

"Mere baare mein aur kya kya baataya tujhe usne?" She asked further curiously.

"Bohut kuch baataya. Jaise ki tu diary likhti hai, lekin saal mein ek baar. Isliye teri bachpan ki diary ab tak chal rahi hai."

"Haan kyu ki meri zindagi mein jab tak kuch bohut hi special nahi hota, main usse diary mein nahi likhti."

Sid thought something and said, "Aur paata hai Shivangi ne mujhe yeh bhi baataya ki tu apni diary....."

Sid's hand started moving under the bed.

"Bed ke neeche chhupa ke rakhti hai."

Saying that he took out the diary and started running.

"Sid mujhe meri diary wapas de."

Sana started running after him.

"Haan dunga pehle padh toh loon." He said and opened the diary.

"Kisi ki personal diary aise nahi padhte." She said and tried to snatch the diary but failed.

"Iss mein mere baare mein bhi kuch likha hoga..... Yeh raha."

Sid opened a page and started reading loudly.

"Today was the first day of my school. Aur first day mein hi mere saath kuch bohut hi interesting hua. I met a boy. His name is Sidharth and he is my classmate. When I saw him at the playground, he was fully drenched with sweat. Udhar aur bhi ladke the but I only noticed him. His messy hair, his smile, his aurra everything just took my heart. Paata nahi usne mujhe notice kiya bhi hoga yaa nahi. Waise mujh mein alag se notice karne wali koi baat nahi hai but uss mein hai. I don't know why I felt butterflies in my stomach. Is it a mere crush? Or is it called love at first sight?"

Sana felt very much embarassed. She always wanted to hide this things from him.

"Tujhe main itna pasand tha kya? Tune kabhi baataya nahi. Ek kaam karta hoon, aage padhta hoon. Sayad kuch aur bhi paata chal jaaye."

Saying that he was about to read more when Sana said whining, "Ahhhaaan! Sid please mat padh!"

Sid sighed and closed the diary.

"Pehle tu admit kar ki tu mujh pe marti thi." Sid said.

"Ok ok I admit." Sana said. "Main tujh pe marti thi. Sab kuch meri taraf se tha, teri taraf se toh kuch tha hi nahi. Na tu har waqt mere aas paas rehne ka bahane dhund ta tha, na tu mujhe har jagah follow karta tha, naa tu mujhe maana ne ke liye roz phool aur apology card deta tha, naa tune kabhi ghar aa ke mere Mummy Papa ko impress karne ki koshish kiyi hai aur naa hi tune meri wajah se kisi bechare innocent ladke ko bina sabun pani ke dho dala."

"Woh.... Umm....."

Sid had nothing to say after Sana reminded him of all the things he did to win her.

They kept looking at each other for some time and then burst into laughter.

Sid then pulled Sana towards him and said, "Kya kuch nahi kiya hai na humne ek dusre ke liye?"

"Haan. Itne efforts daal ne ke baad humara relationship aaj iss jagah pe hai. Aur tu aise hi sab kuch chhor ne ki baat kar raha tha? Phir se aisa kuch kaha na toh muh tod dungi tera. Kuttey!" She said eyeing him.

Sid chuckled and hugged her.

"Sorry My Moti and Gadhi. Phir se nahi kahunga." He said.

"Listen, naa main Moti hoon naa Gadhi."

"Gadhi toh tu hai."

"Thappad khana chahta hai kya?"

"Nahi. Mere favourite sweets khana chahta hoon."

"Woh abhi nahi milega."

Sid rolled his eyes and said, "At least I love you hi bol de."

"Ok." She said blinking her eyes.

"Kya ok? I love you bol."

"I love myself."

"Sana!" He said sternly.

She smiled and said, "Fine. I love you."

"I love you too." Sid said smiling.

They both kept hugging each other.
