Days turned into weeks, and weeks into months, but their love only grew stronger. Sana brought chaos into Sid's boring life, and he brought stability to her impulsive world. Together, they were a perfect balance.

Their friends teased them relentlessly, but the couple did not care.

It was a typical Monday morning, and the class was conducting a practical session in the chemistry lab. Sana, known for her clumsy yet adorable antics, was paired with Sid for the experiment.

"Sidharthhhh, mujhe samajh nahi aa raha yeh reaction kaise karte hain" Sana complained, holding up a test tube.

Sid sighed, taking the test tube from her. "Sana, kitni baar bola hai dhyan se sun instructions lekin nahi madam ko baato se fursat kaha. Tere saath kaam karna khatro se khelne se kam nahi"

"Haan to maine bola tha mera partner banne ko Surya ban raha tha tu hi bich me kuda ab jhel aur wese bhi teri buddho jesi zindagi me na jawani ke rang maine hi bhare hai warna tu kabhi fun karta tha." she shot back, sticking her tongue out at him.

Despite his frustration, Sid smiled forcefully. "Tujhse behes me jeeta hu kabhi, chal mujhe dekh aur-"

"Sirf tujhe hi to dekhti hu din bhar tere khayalo main khoi rehti hu aur kitna dekhu tujhe" she said dramatically.

He blush and control it. "Mujhe dekh matlab yeh dekh ye acid aur yeh base carefully mix kar"

Predictably, Sana dropped the beaker, causing a minor spill. The teacher rushed over, glaring at her.

"Shehnaaz, kitni careless ho tum! Detention milni chahiye tumhe". the teacher scolded.

Before Sana could respond, Sid stepped in. "Sorry, mam Actually, galti meri thi. Main properly explain nahi kar paaya."

The teacher nodded, softening her tone. "Theek hai, par next time se dhyan rakhna."

"Oye hoye mere hero tune to mujhe bacha liya" she push him slightly by her shoulder.

"Abey gadhi abhi bachaya hai aage dono fhas jayenge ye sab gir gaya to".

She pout sadly "unromantic".

"Acha sorry baby" he pulled her cheeks, she slap her chest lightly. He laughed.

Kabir was watching them at some distance with sadness filled eyes as he wanted to be on Sid's place. If he told him earlier, he would have controlled his feelings but now maybe it's too late.

....................................

At lunchtime, Sana, Sid, and their gang Randeep, Ashi, and Reem occupied their usual table in the corner of the canteen. Sana had a habit of stealing food from everyone's plates, a habit that often led to hilarious arguments.

"Chorni tune mere fries khaaye" Reem complained, snatching her plate away.

"Taste nahi, tera excuse better hai" Sid chimed in, shaking his head.

"Kamini wapas kar"

"Ab kya pet me se nikal kar du" Sana said taking another one to irritate her.

Ashi and Randeep giggled. "Waise Sid, tu Sana ke liye sab tolerate kar leta hai Pyaar ka asar hai?" Randeep teased.

Sid rolled his eyes but didn't deny it, while Sana look them furiously. "Tum dono se to kam hi hai atleast raat ke 3 baje chup chup kar baatein nahi karte hum".

Ashi and Randeep choked their food while Reem tease them "oh ho raat ke 3 baje sahi hai."

"Shut up" they both said together while blushing.

One quiet afternoon, Sid and Sana found themselves in the school library. Sana was supposed to be studying, but instead, she doodled on a scrap of paper.

"Padhai ke alawa tujhse sab kaam karwa lo haina?." Sid asked, frowning.

"Boring hai!" Sana whispered dramatically. "Aur tu kya teacher jese piche padha rehta hai boyfriend hai ye nahi pyaar bhari baatein kar le jab dekho daanta rehta hai"

"Ha to boyfriend hu iska matlab ye nahi tera dhyan padhai se hatwa du yaad hai na uncle teri padhai ki zimmedari mujhe dekar gaye hai"

"Haan yaad hai yaar aur tu to manega hi hone wale sasur ji jo dekhar gaye" she said in teasing tone.

"Tu itni cringe kabse ho gai" he chuckle.

"Unromantic kutta" she pout and open her notebook "acha chal bata ab ye kese solve hoga"

"Okay, ye simple hai" he said, pointing to her math notebook. "Tujhe bas formula yaad karna hai"

As he explained, she watched him intently, a soft smile playing on her lips. She had not realized it before, but Sid's patience and care made her heart flutter.

"Sid" she interrupted suddenly.

"Kya?"

"Tune kabhi apni aankhein dekhi hai? Bohot achi lagti hain"

she said, her tone casual but her cheeks pink.

Sid looked at her, startled. "Focus, Sana. Padhai pe dhyan de"

"Main toh tujh pe dhyan de rahi hun" she muttered under her breath, smiling to herself.

"Acha sun aaj ghar aa ja"

"Haww ek ladki ko ghar par bulate sharam nahi aati" she said dramatically.

He rolled her eyes and replies. "Abey gadhi yaha pura nahi samjha paunga na aaj ghar par koi nahi hai Kabir bhi apne friends ke saath jayega aaram se udhar padh lenge."

"Not a bad idea main aa jaungi lekin tujhe bich me break bhi dena hoga warna main ni aaungi"

"Fine baat manwani koi tujhse sikhe." He said with a signed, she giggled.

It was a breezy afternoon, and Sana found herself walking toward Sid's house. While she was not particularly thrilled about studying, the idea of spending uninterrupted time with Sid made her heart race.

As she rang the doorbell, Sidharth opened the door, dressed in a casual t-shirt and jeans, his hair slightly messy. "Sana, tu time pe aa gayi? It's a miracle!"he teased, stepping aside to let her in.

"Haan, kyunki tumne mujhe kisi ne dhamki do thi ki late hui to study session cancel kar dega wo" she shot back, dropping her bag on the couch.

"Bina dhamki ke tu kuch baat manti hai"

he said and gestured her toward the dining table that was already set up with books and snacks.
....................................

"Okay," Sid began, opening their Biology book. "First question: Meselson and Stahl carried out centrifugation in CsCl2 density gradient to separate what?"

Sana stared at him blankly, twirling her pen. "Umm... DNA from RNA?"

"DNA from RNA?" he exclaimed, giving her an incredulous look. "Sana, seriously? Tu pass kesi hogi bhagwan barose?"

She giggled, leaning back in her chair. "Kya karun? Teri tarha topper thodi hu"

"Excuses" he said, leaning over her book and pointing to the correct answer. "The normal DNA from N-DNA. Write it down."

As she wrote it down, his attention drifted toward her. Her brow furrowed in concentration, her lips pursed as he explained the details. Sid found himself smiling. How can someone be so perfect? He thought.

After an hour of studying (and a lot of scolding from Sid), Sana finally slammed her book shut. "Bas! Ab break chahiye" she declared dramatically.

"Pehle ek aur topic complete karte ha" Sid protested.

"Nahi, pehle kuch khaate hai Warna mujhe energy nahi milegi" she argued, pulling him toward the kitchen.

They rummaged through the cabinet and found a box of Ramyun . "Ye chalega?" he asked, holding it up.

"Perfect" she said, taking it from him.

She cooked the Ramyun for them than they both settle down infront of tv.

"Kya dekhe?" Sid asked while trying to find a movie.

"K Drama" she snatch the remote from his hand and play True Beauty.

"Not again" he huffed when she glare him.

"Tujhe pata hai ye bhi school love story hai jidhar Lee Su Ho ko Lim Joo Kyung se pyaar ho jaata hai but wo teri tarha tha batata nahi tha akdu rehta hai mujhe na ye teri aur meri story lagti hai" she giggled while saying.

Slowly Sid start taking interest in the series.

"Ye kya baat hui wo to uski bestfriend hai na aur jab usko pata hai wo date kar rahe hai still uske bande par try maar rahi hai" Sana said angrily.

"Bilkul sahi kaha tune but jo bhi bolo hai to sundar Joo Kyung" he said looking at the screen with a smile.

She glare him "Acha sundar hai?"

He turned towards her and gulped down. "Matlab tujhse kam."

"Hmmm"

They both look towards the screen again when a kissing scene appears.

"Haaye they kissed" she jump in happiness and look towards Sid who was already looking at her. The silence in the room grew heavier, filled with unspoken emotions. Sid raised a hand, hesitating before gently tucking a strand of hair behind her ear.

Her breath caught as he leaned in, his forehead almost touching hers. "Sid..." she whispered, her voice breaking.

"If you don't want this, stop me" he said, his voice shaking slightly.

Sana didn't reply. Instead, she closed the small gap between them, her lips brushing against his tentatively. The kiss was soft and hesitant, filled with a mix of fear and love. Sid froze for a moment, unsure of how to respond, but as she leaned in again, he kissed her back gently, his hand moving to cup her cheek.

Time seemed to stop as they lost themselves in the moment. The world outside faded away, leaving only the warmth of their connection. Their lips was moving in a synth.

Fall in you
Now I finally know

Fall in you
I'm waiting for you

Fall in you
You are my destiny
The one person who is my star

The one person I want to give my all
You
You

When they finally pulled apart, both of them were breathless, their faces flushed. Sana looked at him nervously, her voice barely above a whisper. "Sid... yeh galat toh nahi tha, na?"

Sid shook his head, his thumb gently brushing against her cheek. "Galat kaise ho sakta hai, jab dil se tha? Do....do you regret?". He asked getting scared.

"No...never" she answer him immediately. They both look at eachother and smile shyly.

She smiled shyly, her fingers fidgeting with the edge of her dress. "I think mujhe jaana chahiye." She turn to leave when he hold her hand.

"Abhi na jaao chhord kar" he pulled her towards himself, her hands land on his chest. He sang softly, resting his forehead against hers. "Ye dil abhi bhara nahi."

Sana laughed lightly, her heart finally at ease. "Filhaal tera besura gaana sun kar to aur bhaagne ka mann kar raha hai."

"Saath me bhaage?" he replied with a grin, earning a playful punch on his arm.

The golden sunlight bathed them in warmth as they sat there, knowing that their first kiss was just the beginning of a love story that would last a lifetime.

They are standing close to each other when their eyes met, and Sid leaned in, hesitant but unable to resist the pull between them. Sana closed her eyes, her heart pounding, ready to meet him halfway.

Just as their lips were about to touch again, the door swung open abruptly.

"Sid-" Kabir's voice cut through the moment like a knife.

Both Sid and Sana froze, pulling apart instantly, their faces a mix of shock and embarrassment.

"Kabir?" Sid said, his protective instincts kicking in. "Tu yahan? Tu to der se aane wala tha na."

Kabir's eyes narrowed as they darted between the two of them. His usual confident smirk was replaced by something colder. "Main to apna card ghar bhul gaya tha, Sid. Lekin lagta hai, maine disturb kar diya."

Sana shifted uncomfortably, her face still flushed. "Kabir, woh... hum bas..."

"Bas kya, Sana?" Kabir interrupted, his tone sharper than usual. "Yeh kaunsa 'study session' chal raha tha?." He said sarcastically.

Sid stepped forward, his voice firm but calm. "Kabir, tu yaha card lene aaya hai na? Jo jakar le le. Par baaki ye sab mere aur Sana ke bich ka matter hai, tu in sab me mat padh."

Kabir let out a bitter laugh, his jealousy evident. "Of course tum dono ke bich ka matter hai main hota kaun hu-" He trailed off, unable to finish his sentence.

Sana frowned, standing up. "Kabir bass yaar."

Kabir clenched his fists, his jaw tightening as he struggled to contain his emotions. He looked at Sana one last time, and left from there.

The silence that followed was deafening. Sana looked at Sid, guilt and worry etched on her face. "Sid... main nahi chahti thi ki Kabir ko aise lage. Maine uska dil tod diya"

Sid walked over to her, gently placing his hands on her shoulders. "Sana, tune kuch galat nahi kiya. Kabir ko samjhna hoga even i feel bad lekin hum usme kuch nahi kar sakte na feelings par to kisi ka zor nahi hai na"

Sana nodded, her eyes glistening. "Lekin kya woh kabhi samajh paayega?"

"Waqt ke saath samjh jayega maybe, ki uske liye koi aur bana ho." Sid said softly, brushing a tear from her cheek.

She looked up at him, her lips trembling with emotion. "Tu itna acha kiu hai?"

He smiled, his fingers tilting her chin up. "Sirf tere liye."

For a moment, the world seemed to fade away again. Sid leaned in, slower this time, and Sana met him halfway. Their lips touched softly, the kiss filled with both hesitation and an undeniable depth of love. By each passing moment, they kept falling deeper.
