Next Day...

Sid's phone alarm rang. He immediately stopped the alarm and woke up with a smile.

"Paata nahi aaj yeh alarm baj ne mein itni der kyu lag gayi?" Sid said in his mind.

Then he went to the washroom and got freshed. Asim and Kushal were still sleeping as they came back late from the club. After sometime Sid came out of the washroom and started getting ready in front of the mirror.

Suddenly Kushal and Asim's sleep broke and they noticed Sid getting ready. They both became shocked.

"Bhai, yeh tu kya kar raha hai?" Asim asked after getting up from his bed. Kushal also got up.

"Ready ho raha hoon. Aur kya? School nahi jaana?" Sid said while combing his hair.

Kushal looked at his phone and said, "Abhi toh 6.30 bhi nahi baje, aur tu abhi se ready ho raha hai? Aaj suraj kaunse dik se nikla hai?"

"6.30 bhi nahi baje?" Sid became sad.

"Aaj waqt kuch zyada hi dheere nahi chal raha?"

Asim and Kushal both became puzzled. They couldn't understand the reason behind Sid's weird talks and behaviour.

"Kaisi ajeeb ajeeb baatein kar raha hai Bro? Sach sach baata tujhe hua kya hai." Kushal said.

"Pyaar ho gaya hai mujhe. I am in love." Sid said looking at them.

Asim and Kushal looked at each other.

"Haan lekin woh toh hum jaan te hai." Kushal said.

"Rashmi se pyaar toh tujhe bohut pehle hi ho gaya tha." Asim said.

"Main woh nahi keh raha. Mera matlab hai...." Sid tried to explain.

Kushal didn't let him complete and said, "Rashmi se phir se pyaar ho gaya?"

"Lagta hai kaal Rashmi ke saath night spend karne ke baad tujhe uss se doobara pyaar hogaya hai." Asim said.

Sid gave Asim a death glare and said, "Shut up Asim! Maine koi night spend nahi kiya aur naa hi kabhi karunga. Samjha?"

Asim was confused now.

"Maine tum dono ke liye itna accha arrangement kiya aur tune kuch nahi kiya uske saath?" He asked.

"Asim woh sab chhor. Sid, tu baata baat kya hai." Kushal said.

"Mujhe Sana se pyaar ho gaya hai. I love her." Sid confessed while blushing.

They both looked at Sid with wide eyes.

"Kya kaha tune?" Kushal asked.

"Maine kaha mujhe Sana se pyaar ho gaya hai. Lekin tum dono mujhe aise kyu dekh rahe ho?"

It was big surprise for Kushal and shock for Asim.

"Really? Finally tujhe realise ho gaya?" Kushal asked excitedly.

Sid nodded.

"Ek minute! Sid, tera dimaag kharab ho gaya hai? Do you even know what you are saying?" Asim said angrily.

"I know what I am saying. I love Sana and I always loved her. Aur dimaag toh mera ab thikane par aaya hai." Sid said.

"What about Rashmi? She is your girlfriend. Tu khud uske piche pada tha aur ab tu keh raha hai ki tu Sana se pyaar karta hai. How can you do this to her?"

"I know Asim. Aur mujhe sach mein Rashmi ke liye bura lag raha hai. Inn sab mein uski koi galti nahi thi. Galti toh meri hai. Main pehle realise nahi kar paaya ki main Sana se pyaar karta hoon. Rashmi was just an infatuation. I never felt for her the way I felt for Sana. Agar main phir bhi Rashmi ke saath raha toh yeh uske liye galat hoga. Because I can't love her. Iss se accha hai ki main Rashmi ko sab kuch baata doon. I hope woh samjhegi."

"So are you breaking up with her?"

Sid nodded.

"Excellent! Sid tu lucky hai ki class ki sab se sundar ladki teri gf hai. Aur tu uss se break up kar raha hai uss Sana jaisi ladki ki wajah se? Teri choice kab se itni kharab ho gayi? Tu samajh kyu nahi raha woh Behen Ji kisi bhi angle se tere layak nahi hai......"

Sid's blood boiled hearing those words against Sana. He immediately pulled Asim's collar.

"Aage se meri Sana ke against ek bhi galat word use kiya na toh dekh na. Sana iss school ki hi nahi iss world ki sab se khubsurat ladki hai. And I love her. Tu mera dost hai, isliye tujhe chhor raha hoon. Next time se yeh galti nahi honi chahiye." Sid said angrily and left Asim's collar.

Asim also looked at Sid angrily.

"Itna pyaar? Aaj uss Sana ke liye tune apne dost ka collar pakda? Fine! Main bhi dekhta hoon yeh pyaar kab tak rehta hai." Asim said in his mind and then went to the washroom.

Kushal put his hand on Sid's shoulder and said, "Leave him yaar. Woh aisa hi hai. By the way I'm really happy for you. Mujhe toh pehle se hi paata tha ki tu Sana se pyaar karta hai."

Sid smiled sadly and said, "Sirf mujhe hi paata nahi chala. Sochta raha ki main Rashmi se pyaar karta hoon. Jab ki mera asli pyaar toh Sana hai, meri Ms. Solution."

"Ab paata chala na, yeh hi kaafi hai. Waise tujhe yeh realisation hua kab?"

Sid told Kushal everything about last night. The incident that happened in the club, his imagining Sana in Rashmi and finally his conversation with Sonam and Yash.

"Phir jaa ke mujhe paata chala ki kyu mujhe Sana ko Ayush ke saath dekh kar gussa aata hai. Sach kahu toh Ayush ki jagah koi bhi ladka hota na toh bhi mujhe gussa aata. Jab Jodi Dance Competition mein Rashmi Asim ke saath perform kar rahi thi tab mujhe kuch feel nahi hua tha. Lekin kaal jab maine Sana ko Ayush ke saath dance karte dekha toh mera khoon khaul gaya. I can't see her with someone else. Aur isse hi toh pyaar kehte hai."

Kushal smiled and said, "Mujhe paata tha. Iss hi liye toh kaal main tujhe jaan bujh kar woh sab keh raha tha. Main tera jealousy wala reaction dekhna chahta tha."

Suddenly Sid's face brightened.

"Iska matlab kaal tu jo bhi keh raha tha woh sach nahi tha? Tujhe nahi lagta ki Sana Ayush ke saath move on kar chuki hai?" Sid asked.

"Arrey bilkool nahi. Sana sirf tujhse pyaar karti hai." Kushal said giving him courage.

"Mujhe paata hai. Isliye main aaj hi Sana se apne dil ki baat kahunga. Lekin uss se pehle mujhe Rashmi se ek baar baat karni padegi." Sid said.

In The School...

Rashmi was walking in the corridor with Devoleena. She was feeling sleepy and continuously yawning.

"Kaal raat ko thik se soyi nahi kya?" Devoleena asked.

"Nahi. Tab hi toh itni neend aa rahi hai." Rashmi said in a sleepy voice.

"Lagta hai Sid ke saath kuch zyada hi busy thi." Devoleena said teasing Rashmi.

"Busy toh thi, par Sid ke saath nahi. Woh pehle hi ghar chala gaya tha."

"What?" Devoleena became confused. "That means you didn't have sex with him."

"Yeah. That was his loss. But I had sex with another guy and I'm totally satisfied now."

"What the...." Devoleena stopped herself and looked here and there.

Then she came closer to Rashmi and whispered to her ears, "Are you serious? Tune kisi aur ke ladke ke saath...."

Before she could complete, Rashmi said, "Toh main aur kya karti? Main toh Sid ke saath hi yeh sab karna chahti thi. Usne mujhe reject kiya. I didn't have any option."

"Lekin Sid ne tujhe reject kyu kiya?"

"Woh hi toh samajh nahi aa raha."

"Ek baat puchu? Is he gay?"

Rashmi gave Devoleena a death glare.

"Nahi nahi, gay kyu hoga? My mistake!" Devoleena said and hit her own head for saying such a stupid thing.

Suddenly Rashmi noticed Sid coming towards her.

"Woh aa raha hai. Abhi jaa ke puch ti hoon uss se." Rashmi said and went to him.

"What's you problem Sid? Kaal raat tum ne waise behave kyu kiya?" Rashmi asked angrily.

"Rashmi, main tujhse iss hi baare mein baat karne aa raha tha. I have something to tell you."

"What?"

Sid took a deep breath and said, "Rashmi, I don't love you. I think we should break up."

Rashmi became shocked.

"B...b...Break up? Lekin k... kyu?" She stammered.

"Oh God! Kahi isse kaal raat ke baare mein paata toh nahi chal gaya?" Rashmi said in her mind.

"Kyu ki mujhe nahi lagta ab hum saath reh sakte hai." Sid said.

"Mujhse koi galti hui hai?" Rashmi asked being scared.

"No Rashmi. Teri koi galti nahi hai. Actually main tujhse pyaar nahi kar sakta. I love Sana."

Rashmi's fear faded away suddenly and anger overpowered her.

"Sana? You are breaking up with for her. I can't believe this! Tu aisa kaise kar sakta hai mere saath?"

"Rashmi, I'm really sorry. Tu mujhe galat mat samajh please. Main bohut pehle se Sana ko chahta hoon lekin kabhi samajh nahi paaya. It's all my fault. Iss relationship mein aane ke baad mujhe realise hua ki main Sana se kitna pyaar karta hoon. Utna pyaar main tujhe kabhi nahi de sakta. Isliye humein alag ho jaana chahiye. I hope you understand."

"I don't want to understand anything. Mujhe fark nahi padhta tu mujhse pyaar karta hai yaa nahi. I love you and I'm your girlfriend. You can't ditch me. Tujhe mere saath iss relationship mein rehna hi hoga. Main tujhe nahi chhor sakti."

"Pyaar karti hai tu mujhse?" Sid asked to which Rashmi nodded.

"Thik hai phir. Nahi karta main tujhse break up. Lekin main tujhse pyaar bhi kabhi nahi kar sakta."

"I don't care." Rashmi said.

"Hum normal couples ki tarah nahi honge. Naa main kabhi tujhe apne close aane dunga aur naa kabhi humare bich koi physical relation hoga."

Rashmi looked at Sid with disbelief.

"Boyfriend main tera rahunga lekin pyaar main sirf Sana se karunga. Mere close aane ka yaa mujhe touch karne ka haq sirf Sana ka hoga, tera nahi. Ab baata, kya tujhe aisa boyfriend chahiye? Abhi bhi kya tu iss relationship ko aage badhana chahti hai?"

Rashmi didn't say anything and looked down.

Sid gave a sarcastic laugh.

"Paata tha mujhe." He said and started leaving.

"You will regret it!" Rashmi said angrily.

Sid stopped and turned.

"Already regret kar raha hoon." He said and smiled sadly.
_______________________________________

After breaking up with Rashmi, Sid started looking for Sana in the whole school. He was dying to confess his feelings to Sana.

"Kaha rahi gayi Sana? Kahi nazar kyu nahi aa rahi? Ho sakta hai library mein ho..." Sid said in his mind and went to the library.

"Bas thodi der aur. Uske baad main Sana se ek aur baar maafi maang ke usse apne feelings ke baare mein baata dunga. Paata nahi kaise react karegi. Sayad pehle thodi naraz rahegi. Lekin phir usse mujhe maaf karna hi hoga aur mera pyaar accept bhi karna padega. After all pyaar jo karti hai mujhse." Sid said in his mind and blushed heavily.

"Lekin main ladkiyon ki tarah kyu sharma raha hoon? Thoda attitude bhi rakhna padega."

Sid tried to show some attitude and went to the library. But the next moment what he saw and what he heard was unbelievable for him.

"Main bohut dino se tujhse yeh kehna chahta tha, lekin kabhi himmat nahi hui. But today I am saying that....I love you. I really do." Ayush said.

Sana smiled and hold Ayush's hands.

"I love you too Ayush!" She said.

A smile came to Ayush's face.

Sid's heart ached hearing the words from Sana's mouth. Tears started rolling down from his eyes. His vision became blurry due to the teardrops. He couldn't stay there anymore and left from there.

He couldn't believe his own ears. He knew that Sana loved him. She herself told him that. Then how could she tell "I love you" to someone else?

Had she really moved on?

Had she really forgot him?

Had she really given Ayush space in her heart?

Had she really fallen for Ayush?

Couldn't she wait for Sid?

Was he really that late?

For his one mistake, had he lost her forever?

The mere thoughts broke Sid's heart into pieces?
