Sid dropped Rashmi home after their so called 'date' ended.

"It was a great day Sid! I fully enjoyed it." Rashmi said.

Sid didn't say anything and gave a forceful smile.

Then Rashmi hold Sid's hand and came closer. She tried to kiss Sid but he moved backwards being uncomfortable.

"What happened?" Rashmi asked and gave a confusing look.

"Nothing..... Actually I'm..... Getting late...... kaal milte hai...... school pe..... Bye..." Sid said and left from there.

"Ajeeb hai!" Rashmi said in her mind and made a face.

On the other hand, Sid returned Hostel and went to his room.

"Aa gaya tu? Kaisa raha tera so called 'date'?" Kushal asked sarcastically.

"Accha tha." Sid replied briefly.

"I can't believe this. Bro, tu kar kya raha hai? Rashmi ke saath date par chala gaya, upar se social media pe post daal raha hai. Ek baar bhi Sana ke baare mein nahi socha? Kitna bura lage ga usse yeh sab dekh kar."

"Listen Kushal, don't try to blame me. Sana ne mujhe chhora hai, maine usse nahi. Even main toh uske liye apna pyaar sacrifice karne tak ko ready ho gaya tha. Lekin Sana ko mere saath dosti rakhni hi nahi hai, toh iss mein main kya karu?"

"Exactly!" Asim said suddenly. "Sid suru se hi Rashmi se pyaar karta hai. Finally usse mil gayi Rashmi. Ab kis ko kaisa lag raha hai yeh soch ke Sid kyu apna dimaag kharab kare?"

"Kaise insaan ho yaar tum dono? Aur Sid, tujhe zara sa bhi guilty feel nahi ho raha?" Kushal asked.

Sid couldn't reply and looked down.

"Why he should feel guilty? He didn't cheated Sana. Aur tu kaisa dost hai be? Tujhe toh khush hona chahiye apne dost ke liye." Asim said.

"Dost? Sharam aa rahi hai tum dono ko apna dost kehte hue. And sorry guys, I can't support you in this anymore." Kushal said and left the room angrily.

Sid started thinking.

"Accha Asim, kya Sana ko sach mein bura feel hoga woh post dekh ke? Kahi woh zyada hurt toh nahi ho jaayegi?" Sid asked.

"Hone de. Akhir usse bhi toh paata chale heartbreak hota kya hai." Asim mumbled.

"What did you say?" Sid asked.

"Nothing." Asim replied.

Sid sat on the bed and hold his head.

"Main toh koi pic post nahi karna chahta tha. Woh toh Rashmi ne zidd ki. I should have stopped her. Kahi Sana ne woh post dekh toh nahi liya? Agar dekha toh bohut zyada hurt hogi woh. Lekin main kyu itna soch raha hoon? Sana ne toh dosti tod ne se pehle ek baar bhi nahi socha ki mujhe kaisa feel hoga. Phir main kyu sochu uske baare mein? Bhad mein jaaye." Sid said in his mind.

Next Day....

Sana and Shivangi entered the class and sat on their bench.

"Dekh Sana, ab se Sid aur Rashmi saath hi honge. Main yeh toh nahi keh sakti ki tu hurt mat ho kyu ki mujhe paata hai tu bohut zyada hurt hogi unko saath dekh ke. So just try to ignore them." Shivangi said.

Sana nodded.

"Sid ne bohut galat kiya hai tere saath. I hope karma hits him back." Shivangi said.

"Aisa mat bol Shivangi. I know he hurt me a lot. Lekin main kabhi nahi chahungi ki uske saath bhi waisa kuch ho jo mere saath hua hai. I want him to be happy." Sana said.

"Tu sach mein bohut acchi hai Sana."

"I know. Uss hi ka toh fayda utha te hai sab." Sana said sadly.

After that Sid entered the class with Rashmi, Devoleena, Asim and Kushal.

Before sitting on his bench, Sid looked at Sana. He wanted to know how she felt after seeing the post. He was expecting some reaction from her. But Sana was reading a book and she didn't look at him for once.

After sometime, Sid gave up and sat on his bench sadly.

"Kya woh post dekha hoga Sana ne? Sayad nahi dekha hoga. Warna woh definitely sad hoti. After all woh pyaar karti hai mujhse. She herself told me. Chalo accha hi hai ki usne nahi dekha woh post." Sid said in his mind.

"Ab se main tumhare saamne bilkool weak nahi padhungi. Andar se chahe kitna bhi tut kyu na jau, bahar se kisi ko samajh ne nahi dungi. You have already broken me Sidharth Shukla. You can't break me anymore." Sana said in her mind.

In The Tiffin Period....

All the students left the classroom. Sana and Shivangi were sitting alone in the class. Sana was still reading.

"Tu kya kar rahi hai? It's tiffin period yaar!" Shivangi said.

"Aaj ke lessons yaad kar rahi hoon Shivangi. Abhi disturb mat kar." Sana said looking at the book.

Shivangi took out her and Sana's tiffin box and said, "Woh sab baad mein karna. Abhi kuch khaa lete hai. Bohut bhukh lagi hai."

"Tu kha le. Mujhe bhukh nahi hai."

"Aise kaise bhukh nahi hai? Thoda sa toh khaa le."

"Kaha na mujhe bhukh nahi hai." Sana said loudly.

"Bhukh nahi hai yaa mann nahi hai?" Said someone suddenly.

Hearing the voice, Sana and Shivangi looked at the door. They found Ayush standing there.

"Ayush tu?" They both asked.

"Aaj subah se.... nahi nahi......Kaal se notice kar raha hoon tujhe. Kitni sad ho gayi hai tu. Aur thodi khadoos bhi. Waise sach kahu toh yeh attitude na tujh par bilkool suit nahi karta." Ayush said while sitting beside Sana.

Sana looked down.

"Waise jis ke liye tu aise pura din udaas baithi hai kya woh hai deserve karta bhi hai?" Ayush said.

Sana looked at him.

"Tujhe sab paata hai?" Shivangi asked.

"Mujhe kya pure school ko paata chal chuka hai Sid ne kya kiya hai Sana ke saath. Waise Sana ki galti nahi hai. Sid ka behaviour dekh kar toh hum sab ko bhi lag raha tha ki woh Sana se pyaar karta hai. Haq toh aise rakhta tha Sana par jaise uski girlfriend ho. Even Sana ne mujhse bhi baat karna band kar diya tha. I knew uss hi ne maana kiya hoga."

Sana felt guilty and said, "I'm sorry Ayush. Maine suddenly tujhse baat karna band kar diya tha."

"It's ok. Waise jo kuch bhi hua uss se main toh bohut khush hoon. I got my friend back. Ab main toh kehta hoon, tu bhi bhul jaa usse. Dekhna tujhe ek din uss se bhi better ladka milega." Ayush said.

"Exactly. That's what I am saying. Lekin yeh meri baat sunti kaha hai? Dekh na, khana tak nahi khaa rahi." Shivangi said.

"Zara dekhu toh iske tiffin mein kya hai." Ayush said and opened Sana's tiffin box.

"Aloo ke paratthe! My favourite." Ayush said and started eating Sana's tiffin.

Sana couldn't help laughing seeing Ayush like this.

"Arrey arrey! Tu sara khaa jayega toh Sana kya khayegi?" Shivangi said.

"Mera tiffin khaa legi." Ayush said and opened his tiffin box.

"Ayush mujhe sach mein nahi khana." Sana said.

"Mummy's special gajar ka halwa hai. Agar unhe paata chala ki unke iss gajar ke halwe ko kisi ne reject kiya then unhe bohut bura lagega."

Sana smiled and said, "Phir toh lagta hai khana hi padega."

Ayush smiled and made Sana eat with his own hands.

Shivangi smiled looking at them and thought something.

On the other hand, Sid, Rashmi, Devoleena, Kushal and Asim were eating there tiffins together and chatting on the school ground.

But Sid's mind was somewhere else. He was missing Sana very badly. He looked at his tiffin sadly. He remembered how they used to share their tiffin.

He suddenly stood up.

"Kya hua Sid?" Rashmi asked.

"Main abhi aaya." Sid said and left from there.

None but Kushal understood exactly where he went.

Sid was running towards his classroom.

"Mujhe ek aur baar maafi maang ni hogi Sana se. Uske bina kisi chiz pe mann nahi lag raha hai. Rashmi ke saath bhi acche se baat nahi kar paa raha hoon. Sayad aisa iss liye ho raha hai kyu ki Sana ne mujhe abhi tak maaf nahi kiya. Lekin ab aur nahi. Aaj hum dono saath mein tiffin khayenge roz ki tarah. Sana ko toh chocolate cake pasand hai. Yeh le kar uske paas jau toh sayad maan jaaye. Dekhta hoon kab tak gussa reh paati hai mujhse." Sid said in his mind.

He suddenly stopped near the classroom. The sight he saw was enough to rouse his anger.

Ayush was feeding Sana and three of them were talking, smiling and giggling.

His blood boiled seeing Ayush and Sana together. He got angry moreover he got hurt.

"Sana iss Ayush ke saath? Lekin usne toh promise kiya tha ki woh Ayush se kabhi baat nahi karegi. How can she do this? Upar se kaise haas rahi hai aur khana bhi khaa rahi hai Ayush ke haath se. Wonderful! Idhar main har waqt uske baare mein soch soch ke itna pareshaan ho raha hoon aur udhar woh maze kar rahi hai. Mere hone yaa na hone se usse koi fark nahi padhta. Ho sakta hai kaal ka post usne dekha ho, phir bhi uss par koi affect nahi padh raha. Ayush jo mil gaya hai ab. Thik hai, jab usse koi fark nahi padhta toh mujhe bhi koi fark nahi padhta." Sid said in his mind and left from there.

He clutched the packet of the chocolate cake angrily and threw it in the dustbin.

After sometime....

Sana went to the library and started looking for a book.

Suddenly Sid grabbed her hand tightly and pinned her to the wall. Soon their eyes met. Sid's eyes were bloodshot red. At first Sana was shocked at his sudden movement. But then she tried to free herself.

"Sid leave me." She said calmly.

"Ayush ke saath kya kar rahi thi?" He asked.

"What?"

"Dekha maine tum dono ko. Apne haathon se khana khila raha tha tujhe. Haas bhi rahi thi uske saath. Why?" Sid demanded answers.

"That's none of your business!" Sana said angrily.

Sid squeezed her wrist more in anger and unknowingly hurt Sana.

"Ahhh!" Sana screamed in pain.

"Chahe jitna bhi daba le Sid, you can't break me anymore." Sana said bearing the pain.

Sid immediately left Sana's wrists after realising that he was hurting her.

"Tune toh promise kiya tha mujhse ki tu Ayush se kabhi baat nahi karegi. Uss wajah se hi maine mehnat ki thi. Class mein first aaya tha. Lekin tune apna promise tod diya. Why Sana?" Sid said sadly. There was a pain in his voice.

"Promise maine apne friend se kiya tha. And you're not my friend. Koi rishta nahi hai mera tere saath. I don't even know you. Isliye main jis se marzi uss se baat karungi. Don't you dare to control me." Sana said and left from.

His heart ached hearing that. Tears started coming out of his eyes. He hit the wall being frustrated.

After leaving from the library, Sana also started crying.

Meanwhile...

Ayush was walking, suddenly Shivangi called him from behind.

"Ayush!"

Ayush turned and said, "Haan Shivangi bol."

"Mujhe na tujhse kuch important baat karni hai."

"Kya baat karni hai?"

"Tujhe toh paata hi hai Sana ke condition ke baare mein. Sid ne kitni buri tarah se use kiya hai uska. Inn sab ke baad woh puri tarah se tut chuki hai."

"Dekha maine. Sach kahu toh mujhe yakeen nahi ho raha ki Sid aisa kar sakta hai. It's true that I don't like him at all but kahi na kahi mujhe bhi laga tha ki woh Sana se saccha pyaar karta hai."

"Jo bhi ho, I can't see my bestie like this. Sana has to move on. Aur iss waqt usse apne friends ki bohut zyada zaroorat hai. Aaj usse tere saath haaste dekh kar bohut accha laga. Isliye main tujhse puchna chahti hoon, will you help her to move on?"

Ayush smiled and said, "Iss mein puch ne ki kya baat hai? Sana is my friend. Of course I will help her to move on. Jo dost zaroorat ke waqt saath na de woh dost kis kaam ka?"

Shivangi also smiled and said, "Thank you Ayush."
