"Muh toh band karlo uncle." ... Randeep said as soon as Sid's eyes fell over Sana who came wearing her lehenga looking the prettiest her golden skin shine with minimal makeup

Sid was snapped out from his world as he listened to Randeep's words. He glared at him his ears turned red in embarrassment as he rubbed his nape his eyes still lingering over Sana's face as she Reem and Ashi walked in.

They met Sid's family at first who welcomed them whole heartedly and Sana wished them happy diwali. Her cute banters especially with his Dadi took his heart, he smiled seeing his two most favourite women together.

After meeting his family, they came ahead to them.

"Kaisi lag rhi hu ? ...Sana in her low voice whispered to Sid as she just wants his compliments first.

Sid's eyes soften with mischief as he uttered teasing her

"Bohot bekar chi chi " he makes a face Sana pouts angrily

"Kutte kahi ke mujhe paata hai main acchi lag rahi hu, jhut mat b..."

Her words died in her mouth as she turned around and saw Kabir and Naina who hugged each other wishing diwali. Sana gulped the lump formed in her throat as Sid follows her gaze. He frowns as he looked at her who turned around to him again her eyes mirrored the painful expressions.

She felt it hard for her to speak something and stop her voice to break ... more to her dilemma Kabir along with Naina walked to their group ..Sana who held Sid's hand for support shivered a little at them approaching. Sid rubbed her arm to provide her comfort that he is here just beside her.

"Ohh hello guys" ... Said Naina and Kabir who came there.

Ashi and Reem who were constantly glaring at Kabir smiled sarcastically at his guts to still come to them.

"Happy diwali ... Happy diwali Sid... You look handsome today ..." Naina who touched Sid's kurta, Sana immediately glared at her.

Sid who moved back a little from her touch, nodded smiling forcefully.

"Kya tum bhi apni iss behenji se chipke rehte ho ...why don't you talk to us ?.... You know I am better than these people." Naina laughed

"No actually ye teri galat fehmi hai ... You are not better you are actually worse then us ... Actually hum har kisi ladke ke sath jaake muh nhi marte na so ..." Sana laughed out sarcastically.

Sid was surprised at her bold remark while Ashi and Reem giggled, Randeep was enjoying the whole scenario as Naina's face fell.

Naina was about to shout but Kabir jumped into the conversation, handling the situation.

"Arrey Sana ki adat hai mazak karne ki... don't take her seriously." Kabir laughed and Sana became sad hearing that.

"Accha abhi yeh sab chhoro... We are here to enjoy guys, let's go dance ... let's go baby ..." Kabir snaked his arm around Naina's waist who gave victorious smile as she was always behind Kabir in school but he never paid her attention, especially after Sana came.

Sana's heart churns as she looked away. Kabir was unbothered at her hurting. .

"Oh yes ... But Sana ko dance aata bhi hai?" ... Naina smirked.

"Aata toh hai. But you are the best sweetheart. No one can beat you." Said Kabir flirting with Naina which made the whole group irritated.

"Wait and watch baby " Sana smirked thinking, looking at Naina who was full of overconfidence and left from there without saying anything.

"Sana wait...."

Sid failed to stop her and became worried thinking that she got hurt.

"Iss Kabir ke bacche ne toh mood ki hi aisi ki taisi kar diyi iss chudhail ko Diwali party mein bula ke. Agar meri bestie ki Diwali kharab hui na, main isko chhorungi nahi baata rahi hoon." Reem murmured which Kabir didn't hear as he was busy with Naina.

"Filhaal Sana ko dhundte hai. Kahi hurt hoke wapas toh nahi chali gayi." Ashi said being worried.

As they were about to look for Sana, the music suddenly started and everyone's attention snapped to the dance floor. Sana who stood there in the middle grooved the music, her face was veiled with her chunri.

Gopiyon sang ghume kanhaiya
Raas rachaiya radha na jae re

Ab sanwaro na bhaye re

She turns around with a confident smile on her face. She glanced at Kabir whose mouth opened looking at her direction, Sana smirked.

Sid couldn't help smiling seeing it and cheered for her clapping as she got more confidence.

She moved her body with the music while Ashi and Reem understood what she was going to do and joined her on the dance floor excitedly.

Radha on the dance floor
Radha likes to party

Radha likes to move that desi Radha body

As every other girl joins the dance floor along with them grooving to the music.

Sid and Randeep couldn't take their eyes off their girls. On the other hand Kabir tried hard to ignore her hotness but failed miserably while Naina burned in jealousy, as she danced perfectly.

Radha on the dance floor
Radha likes to party

Radha likes to move that desi Radha body

Sana smirked seeing Kabir's face and sang the lyrics pointing towards him along with her besties.

Panghat pe aake saiyaan marodein baiya

And everybody blames it on Radha

Chede hai humka daiya
Bairi kanhaiya

And everybody blames it on Radha

As Sana walked towards Kabir while singing, he thought that she was going to approach him and started showing attitude on his face.

Hoga wo lakhon dil ka chor
Humka toh lage bore

Crashing his hopes, she pulled Sid on the dance floor leaving Kabir shocked. Ashi pulled Randeep too.

Sid and Randeep who stood there cluelessly giggling. Sana rounds around Sid singing.

Hua hai aise bawla jo kehta jaye

She points mischievously to Kabir. Sid who nodded his head in disbelief held Sana's hand and spinned her as he sings the other lyrics dancing with her

Oh Radha teri chunri oh Radha tera challa
Oh Radha teri natkhat nazariya

Oh Radha tera jhumka oh Radha tera thumka ke peeche peeche saari nagariya

Sana was surprised as to see Sid dancing for a second she just forgot about Kabir her beautiful smile formed again on her face looking at him.

Kabir's face grew serious as he became jealous seeing their chemistry. As Sana moved forward he came in front of her while dancing.

Oh Radha teri chunri oh Radha tera challa
Oh Radha teri natkhat nazariya

Oh Radha tera jhumka oh Radha tera thumka ke peeche peeche saari nagariya

Sana royally ignored Kabir and went to Sid as she was feeling better to dance with him. They all danced together, and most of the people in the party joined them.

Radha on the dance floor
Radha likes to party
Radha likes to move that desi Radha body

Reem who danced to the music her eyes fell over a boy whom she spotted in the mall while shopping.

(Kartik Mehra. Sidharth and Kabir's family friend. Close to Sidharth.)

She felt her breath hitched seeing him there... She moved out of the dance floor.

"Heyy ...." She approached to him huffing

"Hi ...Pani ?...." He was holding the bottle as he passed it to Reem who gulped the whole bottle and then extended her hand.

"Dance ? ..." Before he could say anything Reem held his hand dragging him to the dance floor

Mathe pe pankh mor
Kehte hai makhan chor

Bajaye basuri bada aaya chit chor

But Radha wants more

Sana who who circled around Sid and hits his chest grooving to the music playfully playing with the lyrics with him enjoying the music, the party and the dance with him

Sid who couldn't take his eyes off her...

Dhundungi charon ore milega koi aur
Dungi Mai hathon mein mere dil ki ye dor

Cuz Radha wants more

Ashi sings dancing as she teases Randeep not to be so late at expressing his feelings to her. Randeep who blushed knowing the meaning of her lyrics.

Oh Radha Radha bholi deewani hai

Randeep hitted Ashi's head moving his body to the music

Oh Radha Radha do pal jawani hai

Sid who held Sana's hand and twirled her around a her back touched to his chest when he moved with the music

Oh Radha ko sambhalo koi isse bta do
Ke milega na koi sanwariya

He points to Kabir as Sana giggled.

Oh Radha teri chunri oh Radha tera challa oh Radha teri natkhat najariya

Oh Radha tera jhumka oh Radha tera thumka ke peeche peeche saari nagariya

Reem who danced with that cute boy whom she spotted in the mall, she felt her heart beats in rhythm as she stayed with him, he danced, a beautiful smile lingering on his face, his carefree nature which already attracted her towards him.

Reem giggles enjoying with him.

While his other friends were dancing, Kabir became frustrated as he was being ignored by everyone especially by Sana. Though he himself rejected her but he couldn't tolerate her ignorance now.

Suddenly the music changed and all the boys moved aside as Kabir came to the center and danced with full attitude, singing the lyrics.

Hey Radha Radha kahe itna gurror bhala
Chodo bhi nakhre ye kaisi ada

Kabir who sung the lyrics looking at Sana who gave him least interest look, her eyes were fixed at Sid.

Tune kya socha ek tu hi mashhoor yaha lakhon gopiyan bhi humpe fidaa

Kabir sung as he smirked and pulled Naina along with him ...Sana who made a face at his antics and flipped her hair. Kabir was bothered at her ignoring him, somewhere it affected him.

He went towards Sana leaving Naina behind and pulled her towards himself.

Ho saari hi duniya yeh maani hai shuru humse teri kahani hai ...

Sana immediately pushed Kabir away as she didn't like staying close to him and danced pointing towards, with a sarcastic smile lingered on her face.

Oh rehne de re kanha
Bhoolega tu satana

Jo girungi mai banke bijuriya ...

Sana giggled as she hits over Sid's chest, he groves to the beats swaying her waist gracefully. The dance performance continued while they both didn't realise when they became lost in each other.

Radha on the dance floor
Radha likes to party

Radha likes to move that desi Radha body

The way Sid and Sana laughed with each other, danced with each other, the way Sana's eyes glittered whenever she saw Sid, it bothered Kabir whose eyes were constantly staring them amidst the performance.

Naina was clinging to Kabir and he himself was also dancing closely with her but he felt a pang of jealousy seeing Sid and Sana together, which he couldn't deny.

Here Sana didn't even look at Kabir for once as she was enjoying her moment with Sid. She never felt this much happy, this much alive with anyone else which now she was feeling with Sid.

Radha on the dance floor
Radha likes to party

Radha likes to move that desi Radha body

The dance got over as Sana, Sid, Randeep, Ashi, Reem and Kartik came down the stage taking seats.

"Ye kaun hai ? ..." Randeep asked as he noticed Kartik.

"Yeh Kartik... Humara family friend." Sid said introducing Kartik to his friends.

Reem whispered his name and smiled at Karik who was looking at her.

Sana noticed how Reem smiled and smirked.

"Chlo bohot hua introduction mai toh khana khane jaa raha hu mujhe badi bhook lgi hai ..." Randeep said as he took Ashi's hand and moved to the food court. Reem and kartik sat there and were chatting about something.

Sana looked at Sid, her eyes glinting with mischief as she pinched his arm tightly

"Ouchh ...kya kar rhi h ...." he asked rubbing the area

"Pehle kyu nhi btaya tu itn aacha dance karta hai, tujhe itne acche acche steps aate hai... Jab ki uss din club mein toh dance karne se hi maana kar raha tha" She asked pouting.

"Maine btaya toh tha mai har chij Mai acha hu ..." He smirked

"Haan bakwas karne mein accha hai ..." She rolled her eyes.

Sid looked at his watch and then held her hand.

"Kaha jaana hai ...Mai thak gyi hu...." Sana whines ...

" Chl tohh ... " He takes her to the terrace of his house which was enlightened with fairy lights a small home garden was there on the terrace on one side and on the other was a swing

"Kya aesthetic hai tera terrace " Sana whispered as she caressed the paintings made on the wall.

"Aur ye paintings ...kitne Sundar hai ...lekin itne udaas kyu hai ye paintings" ... Sana whispered as she felt the void in these paintings they are not bright ... The use of colours are dull ... Still manages to get beautiful ...

One of the small section where a family of 5 could be seen ... And a small boy faraway from the family illustrated longing for his family. Sana caressed that one piece of painting marked on the silent and dull corner of the wall, her heart gloomed at the agony of the painter who put the emotions in these paintings.

"Maine bnayi hai " Sid smiled as he looked at those paintings, whenever he is sad it's just him and the paintings ...

"Tune ? ..." Her heart fell even more ...

"Ye sab kaise ?.... " ...she bit her lips, not knowing why she felt the sense of connection with those paintings. Maybe because they were made by him ...

"kuch nhi bas aise hi " he whispered smiling to her her smile faded away exchanges with painful expressions as she felt a layer of him getting away looking through the painful moments he painted at the wall

"Kyu ...paint kiyi ... " She gulped the lump that formed in her throat maybe she is thinking much

"Jab bhi udaas hota hu toh aise hi krta hu " He smiled "chal idhr aa"

"Ruk"

"Mujhe Janna hai tune itni sad paintings kyu ki " ...she asked

He felt his heart churns at the thought of sharing

" Are wo baataya ba aise hi kiya, itna mat soch ... " He stuttered .

It's not that he doesn't trust her with his secrets ... It's just difficult for him to let the pain out ... that's the only thing he is holding onto ... And he feels scared whenever it's the chance for him to let things out

"Sid pls ... " ....Sana whispered her hand still holding onto him ...

Sighing he looked aside...

"mujhe ..Aisa lgta hai ... Maa ..mujhse pyaar nhi ..krti ... " He gulps stuttering as he couldn't look at her. He kept his eyes trained the dark sky as he lets out some broken forms of words

Sana who stayed closer to him realising how difficult it is for him to speak up.

"Mtlb ... Wo meri saari zaruratein puri krti h ... Lekin wo ..mujhse pyaar nhi krti ... Mujhe apne pass aane ni deti ... Kbhi mere sir par hath rkh ke mujhe ...pyaar nhi krti ... Wo ..toh mujhe dekhti bhi nhi " ...he bits his lips stammering the words that came out his chest tightening as his eyes brimming with tears ...

"Sid..." Sana whispered

Sidharth stayed silent until he controlled himself his eyes didn't moved to her as he hummed

"Mujhe dekho ... " .... She demanded her voice low soft yet authoritative

He nods his head in no ...

"Tujhe dekhunga toh toot jaunga ..janata hu tu mujhe sambhal nhi paayegi ..." He thought as Sana moved her hands and cupped his cheeks

"Mujhe nhi pta Mai tujhe Aisa kya bolu ke tera dard kam ho sake ... Bas itna jaanti hu ...koi humare pass ho ya na ho ... Bhgwaan ji humesha hmare pass hote hai ...aur kabhi na kabhi wo humari life mein kisi aise insaan ko bhejte hai ... Jo humse bohot pyaar krta hai ... " She uttered as she gently caressed his face Sid's heart fluttered

"Mai smjh skti hu jab maa ka pyaar nhi milta ...meri bhi maa nhi hai ... " She bits her lip

"Bachpan Mai hi wo bhgwan ji ke paas chli gyi thi par baba ne kabhi unki Kami mehsus nhi hone di. Meri life Mai mujhe pyaar krne wala insaan mere papa pehle agye ... Tumhari life Mai tumse pyaar krne wala insaan baad mai aye par ayega jrur " ...

" Jo log tumhe hurt krte hai unpe jitna dhyaan doge utna wo tumhe effect krenge ... Jaane do .. maaf kro ... Sab thik hai ...tum thik ho " ...she whispered the comforting words to him

His eyes welled again as he wrapped his arms around her taking her into his embrace no matter he never thought one day his frenemy would console him ....

Sana hugged him back he is her strength her constant support her bestfriend

He means alot to her more than anyone ever did

As both stayed there in a comforting hug. ... The booming sound of crackers started to explode around them as sidharth excitedly broke the hug and took her the side of the terrace ...

Looking at the sky which was brightened by the fireworks from different colours it looked so beautiful

Sana was pleased at the view, she was seeing Sid squealed excitedly knowing he too had a stock to fire ...

Sana looked at sidharth from her side eye her heart fluttered seeing his soft smile ...

"He is precious..."

She thought, the moment she knew what he became for her, from a serious, arrogant boy to a soft, supportive and sweet friend, he became very precious to her. She knew she always wants to see him smiling the, smile which is so innocent like a baby ...

Sana realised that the pain of her heartbreak ws nothing compared to the pain sidharth had gone through every day from his childhood ....

But still he managed to smile ...he managed to laugh and most importantly he still didn't judge her but understood her every pain ... She realised and thought not to be sad about the fact of heartbreak anymore and just go with the flow wearing a beautiful smile like her Sid ...

Sid whose finally felt a burden that was taken from his heart he felt a little comfort ...the pain of his heart losing a little as he smiled freely ...

It was the best Diwali celebration for her as she spent it with him. The moment was so precious for her that it made a place in her heart....
