Next Morning...

Sid woke up and saw Sana sleeping beside him peacefully. He smiled seeing her. She was looking damn cute while sleeping.

"Kitne aram se so rahi hai meri baby. How can someone look so cute yaar? Mann toh kar raha hai pura khaa jau isse." Sid said in his mind.

Suddenly he realised what he just thought.

"Yeh kya soch raha hoon main? Woh bhi Sana ke baare mein.....No no this is wrong." Sid said in his mind and tried to get up.

But suddenly he found Sana's soft hands wrapped around his body. He was about to remove them but then stopped himself.

"Nahi nahi. Abhi haath hataunga toh iski neend khul jaayegi. Kaal itna kuch hua iske saath. I should not disturb her sleep. Isliye rehne deta hoon."

Sid kept staring at her and adoring her. Meanwhile, Sana hugged him more tightly and buried her face in his chest. Even in sleep she didn't want to let him go. Sid chuckled seeing her movement in sleep. Whatever he was feeling that time was beyond description and he was liking it very much.

After sometime, Sana woke up. She looked at Sid and then she looked at herself. She found herself hugging Sid very tightly. She immediately removed her hands from his body and sat up.

"Isse itni zaldi uthne ko kisne kaha tha? Thodi der aur soti rehti. Paata nahi kyu, bohut accha lag raha tha." Sid said in his mind.

"Woh.... sorry....Main neend mein tere...... kuch zyada hi close.... chali aayi...." Sana said. She became embarassed and her cheeks turned red.

"Relax Sana! It's not a big deal. Lekin haan, agar tu aur bhi zyada close chali aati toh sayad problem ho sakti thi...." Sid said while coming closer. He was trying to tease her.

Sana looked down and blushed.

Suddenly someone knocked at the door.

"Sana Puttar! Uth jaa. Aur kitni der soyegi?" Parminder Ji said.

Sana became scared hearing her mother's voice.

"Oh Shit! Mummy! Sid tu abhi nikal yaaha se." Sana said while pushing Sid out of the bed.

"Abhi nikal jau? Main toh soch raha breakfast kar ke niklunga...." Sid said while standing up.

Sana also stood up and said, "Dekh yeh nah mazak karne ka waqt bilkool nahi hai. Agar Mummy ko paata chal gaya ki tu kaal raat mere room mein tha phir meri toh khair nahi. Isliye tu bhag."

"Accha Baba jaata hoon." Sid said and went to the balcony. Sana immediately locked the balcony door.

Then she opened the door of her room.

"Kitni der laga di darwaja khol ne mein." Parminder Ji said.

"Woh actually...." Sana yawned and said, "Main so rahi thi nah.....Toh aap ki awaz sunai nahi di."

"Accha sun, koi tha kya tere kamre mein?" Parminder Ji asked while looking here and there in her room.

"N.... nahi toh. K...Koi nahi tha." Sana stammered.

"Mujhe laga tu kisi se baat kar rahi h
thi...."

"Aisa kaise ho sakta hai? Main toh so rahi thi. Zaroor aap ke kaan baaj rahe honge." Sana said and gave a foolish smile.

"Ho sakta hai. By the way, are you feeling better now? Kaal jo hua woh sun kar main kaafi darr gayi thi."

"Aap pareshaan mat ho Mummy. Ab sab thik hai."

"Phir toh thik hai. Abhi inn sab baaton ko bhul jaa aur zaldi se fresh ho ke neeche aa jaa. Okay?"

Sana smiled and nodded.

Parminder Ji left from there.
_______________________________________

Days passed. Though everything had become normal, there was a fear which didn't go away from Sana's mind. She didn't totally get rid of the trauma. Her behaviour also changed because of this. The girl who could talk non-stop the whole day, had become very much silent. She didn't talk with her friends also. She used to be lost in her own thoughts.

Sid noticed the change in Sana's behaviour. He became sad seeing her like this. Many times he tried to make her laugh by cutting jokes. But that too didn't help him to get back his old Sana.

One day, Sid was sitting on a bench in the school ground. He was sad. Suddenly Kushal came and sat beside him.

"What happened Bro? Itna upset kyu hai?" Kushal asked.

"Sana kaafi badal gayi hai yaar. Lagta hai abhi tak uss incident ko nahi bhuli. Har waqt try kar raha hoon taa ki uske dimaag se woh baat nikal jaaye aur woh pehli jaisi ho jaaye. Lekin kuch nahi ho raha." Sid said.

"Ok I understood. Main ek suggestion doon? Sana ko nah kisi aur chiz mein involve kar de. Agar woh kisi chiz mein busy rahegi toh usse time nahi milega yeh sab sochne ka. Phir dheere dheere woh thik ho jaayegi."

"Busy toh rehti hai padhai mein."

"Padhai nahi Bro. Koi aisi chiz jis mein usse maza aaye. Umm....Tu chal mere saath." Kushal said and took Sid with him.

They went near the notice board.

"Dekh raha hai tu? Humare school mein Jodi Dance Competition hone wala hai. Tu aur Sana iss mein participate kyu nahi karta?" Kushal said.

"That's a great idea! Iss mein busy rahegi toh uska dil bhi khush ho jayega aur saath mein fun bhi hoga. Main abhi ek form le aata hoon." Sid said excitedly and went to take a form.

After sometime, Sid went to the classroom with a form. He sat next to Sana and showed her the form.

"Yeh kya hai?" Sana asked looking at the form.

"Jodi Dance Competition. Humare school mein hone wala hai. Let's participate together." Sid said.

"No way."

"But why?"

"Mujhe dance ki abcd bhi nahi aati. Main iss mein participate karke kya karu?"

"Main hoon naa? Sikha dunga tujhe."

"Shahrukh Khan hai tu? Bada aaya! Main hoon naa! Dancing na koi bacchon ka khel nahi hai jo tu ek yaa do hafte mein mujhe sikha dega. Mere saath participate kiya nah toh last aayega tu. Losers kahenge log humein."

"Paata hai, ek bohut hi intelligent ladki ne mujhse kaha tha ki losers woh hote hai jo koshis nahi karte, haar maan jaate hai. Hum at least koshis toh kar hi sakte hai."

"Lekin Sid....."

Sid hold Sana's hands and said, "Please Sana! Mujhe bhi studies mein fear tha. Tere kehne par maine bhi toh apne fear ko overcome kiya hai. Ab tu kyu nahi kar sakti? Mere khatir hi sahi iss mein participate kar de."

Sana couldn't say no to Sid.

She smiled and said, "Thik hai. Lekin sirf tere liye."

Sid became excited and said, "Toh phir main yeh form fill up kar du?"

Sana nodded.

They filled up the form.

"Main yeh submit kar ke aaya." Sid said and left the classroom.

He was going to submit the form, suddenly he met Rashmi.

She saw the form in Sid's hand and asked, "Jodi Dance Competition ka form hai?"

Sid nodded.

"Kis ke saath participate kar raha hai?" Rashmi again asked.

"Sana ke saath." Sid said.

Rashmi got angry hearing Sana's name. Still she smiled forcefully and asked, "Sana ko dancing aati hai?"

"Abhi tak toh nahi. Lekin main sikha dunga."

"I'm sorry but I think yeh bewakoofi hai. Jise dance aata hi nahi uske saath iss competition mein part le ne se tu zaroor haar jaayega. You better change you dance partner."

"What do you mean?" Sid asked. He didn't like what she said.

Rashmi came closer and said, "Mujhe bhi iss competition mein part le na hai. Lekin abhi tak koi mila nahi jis ke saath mein part le saku. So......Will you be my dance partner?"

Sid became shocked hearing that. He never thought that Rashmi would ask him to be her dance partner. It was like his dream came true. But this time he couldn't be happy.

"Sana already meri dance partner hai. Main kaise......"

"Are you rejecting me?"

"Aisa nahi hai..... lekin..... mujhe sochne ka thoda waqt do."

"Thik hai. Aaj school khatam hone tak ka waqt hai tere paas. Tu soch le. I'm waiting for your answer." Rashmi said and left from there.

He looked at the form.

"Mere mind mein itni confusion kyu ho rahi hai? Main toh humesha se yeh hi chahta tha. Rashmi ka attention paa ne ke liye toh yeh saara kuch kiya. Aur ab jab Rashmi mujhe uska dance partner ban ne ka offer de rahi hai toh main khush kyu nahi hoon? Maybe it's because of Sana. Meri wajah se woh iss competition mein participate karne ke liye taiyaar hui hai. Ab main suddenly apna dance partner badal nahi sakta. Yeh bohut galat hoga. Arghhh! Samajh nahi aa raha kya karu. Kise choose karu? Sana yaa Rashmi?" Sid said in his mind.

He went to the classroom without submitting the form.

Entering the classroom, Sid saw Sana telling Shivangi about the dance competition.

"Paata hai Shivangi, main pehli baar kisi dance competition mein participate kar rahi hoon. I don't know main kaisa dance karungi lekin main bohut excited hoon." Sana said.

Sid smiled seeing her excitement. He realised that his plan was working. Sana was coming out of the trauma. After many days, he saw the smile on Sana's face. He got back his old Sana.

Suddenly his all confusion went away. He knew exactly what he should do.

"Arrey Sid aa gaya!" Shivangi said after noticing Sid.

Sana looked at him and noticed the form in his hand.

"Tune yeh submit nahi kiya?" She asked.

"Haan bas submit karne hi jaa raha tha. Lekin uss se pehle tujhse ek baat kahu?" Sid said.

"Haan bol na."

"Tu gussa toh nahi karegi?"

"Nahi karungi. Tu baata toh sahi."

"Pakka na?"

"Haan Baba."

"Woh baat yeh hai ki....."

"Kya baat hai Sid?"

"Humare dance ke liye song main select karunga kyu ki teri choice bohut kharab hai."

"What?"

Both Sid and Shivangi started laughing.

"Meri choice kharab hai?" Sana asked angrily.

"Bohut hi kharab hai." Sid said while laughing.

Sana said to Shivangi, "Tu baata Shivangi. Meri choice kharab hai kya?"

"Ab kya kar sakte hai? Jo hai woh toh accept karna padega." Shivangi said.

"Kya? Lekin tu toh meri best friend hai. Ab tu bhi iski side le rahi hai? Badiya hai! Dekh le Sana, yaaha tujhse koi pyaar nahi karta. Sab tera mazak udaa rahe hai." Sana said.

Sid sat next to Sana and said, "Arrey meri Baby toh gussa ho gayi. Accha thik hai, tu hi select kar le na song. Ab thik hai?"

Sana nodded in no.

"Toh phir?"

"Hum dono mil kar select karenge."

"Okay done. Aisa song select karenge aur aisa dance karenge ki judges ko hum dono ko hi winner bana na padega." Sid said.

"Yes. Yeh Jodi Dance Competition toh hum hi jeetenge." Sana said.
