The spotlight fell on the stage when a girl came there with a mic.

"Hello ladies and gentlemen! We welcome you all to the 2024 College Fest of our SKS College. Aaj ki raat hone wali hai shandaar, with our special guest Arijit Singh."

Everyone started clapping and shouting hearing the name.

"But but but, you have to wait a little longer for that. Anyways there is nothing to worry about as we will keep you all entertained by the performances of the students of our college. Now it's time to start our programme with an amazing dance performance by our final year's students. A big clap for them."

Everyone started clapping and the stage became dark.

Theres something about tonight
Something very special
Something about the way you move that thing
Something very special
Something about the way you looking at me
Something very special yeahhh
Something about tonight
Something very special

The spotlight again fell on the pairs who were standing in position. Sana was standing holding Pratik's hand while Sid was standing holding Shruti's hand.

Na na na nashili nashili
Na na na nashili nashili

Sid and Sana exchanged looks. They both were sad as they were not together but still they put a fake smile on their faces and focused on their performance.

Theres something about tonight
Something very special
Something about the way you move that thing
Something very special
Something about the way you looking at me
Something very special yeahhh
Something about tonight
Something very special

Sid pulled Shruti towards her himself and started lip syncing the lyrics looking at her while dancing.

Saari ki saari duniya bhula ke
Main toh tere naal nachna
Baby you're so sexy

On the other hand, Sana kept her hand on Pratik's chest and started moving her body swiftly with the rhythm.

Boy you could be my one and only
Main toh tere naal nachna

They both kept dancing with their partners, unwillingly yet so perfectly.

Then I see you looking at me
Aaja baat kar le dil ki
Hone lagenge afsane

Then they looked at the audience while doing the next steps.

You know it so sing it
Now throw your hands up and say
Disco deewane
Aahan, aahan
Ho disco deewane
Aahaan, ahaan ho

They again held their partner's hands and danced closely with them.

Nasheeli hai raat
Ho haathon mein haath
Naachein gaayein saath..
Disco deewane
Aahaan, ahaan ho

They kept dancing like this with beats. During that, Sid and Pratik were glaring each other while Sana and Shruti were doing the same. A silent competition was going on between them.

Ho hai na
Mujh pe nazar teri

Pratik pulled Sana closer by keeping his hand on her waist. Sana immediately looked at Sid who was looking at both of them with anger.

Soon Sid and Sana's eyes met. They both were hurt but had nothing to do.

Aankhon hi aankhon mein
Baatein hoti hain

Sid calmed himself down and focused on his steps with Shruti. He moved her around and her back touched with his chest.

Aaja baahon mein aa meri

Shruti touched Sid's neck sensually with a smile of satisfaction on her face.

Sana got hurt seeing it but when Sid looked at her, she took off her eyes.

Aise hi to raatein
Shuru hoti hain

They all moved away from their partners and again started dancing looking at the audience.

Kabhi kabhi pal do pal mein yun
Fussy fussy baatein hoti hai
Do hi mulaqaton mein
Mil jaate hain zamaane
Disco deewane..

And the dance went on. Everyone gave their best and the audience also enjoyed their performance a lot. Soon the lights and music changed as well as the partners. During the transition, Sid and Sana suddenly came in front of each other.

Ishq wala love

They both looked at each other intensely while smiling genuinely. Sid was holding Sana's waist and rubbing his thumb slowly to remove Pratik's touch while Sana's hands were locked around his neck. Finally they were happy to be in each other's arms.

Ishq wala love

One the other hand, Shruti and Pratik also came in front of each other. But Shruti's eyes were on SidNaaz. She was looking at them angrily.

But Sid and Sana both didn't care much as they were lost in their own world.

Ishq wala love

Sid swirled Sana around and then again pulled her towards himself. They both were looking at each other with full of love.

Surkh wala soz wala faiz wala love
Ishq wala love

The partners changed again when Shruti and Pratik took Sid and Sana away from each other.

Sana's face was sad when Sid blinked giving her assurance that no one had the power to separate them.

Hota hai jo love se zyada waise wala love

They went back to their partners and did the final steps with full energy.

Theres something about tonight
Something very special
Something about the way you move that thing
Something very special
Something about the way you looking at me
Something very special yeahhh
Something about tonight
Something very special

They completed their performance and the auditorium filled with clapping sound.

After performance...

Sana was in the green room and she was trying to remove her hairpins which she used for the performance look.

"Nikal jaa bhai." She said making irritated faces while struggling with her hairpins.

Suddenly Sana felt someone's hand on her head. She immediately looked around and saw Sid standing there. Sana took her hand back letting Sid remove the hairpins.

Sid leaned towards her making her breath hitched as his hot breath fell on her lips. Their eyes were fixed at each other when Sid slowly removed the hairpins and freed Sana's long wavy hair. Then he moved away.

After that she said, "Tu... Tu yaaha kya kar raha hai? I thought you went to check the guitar....."

Before she could complete, Sid hugged her tightly leaving her little confused at first. But then she understood that it was because of the performance. He was feeling bad and so was she. She also didn't like when Shruti touched him unnecessarily. Sana smiled and hugged Sid back.

"Accha hua jo yeh dance performance khatam hua aur peecha chhuta unn do namuno se. Tu fikar mat kar. Ab koi nahi aayega humare bich." She said rubbing his back.

After sometime, Sid broke the hug and said in sign language, "Mujhe tujhse kuch kehna hai."

"Haan bol." Said Sana little curiously.

Sid took a deep breath and was about to confess when someone came there.

"Tum log idhar kya kar rahe ho? Udhar Arijit Singh aa gaye." He informed.

Both Sid and Sana gave huge smile hearing that.

"Chal dekh ke aate hai." Said Sana excitedly to which Sid nodded.

They both went outside to meet Arijit Singh. But there were a lot of students who gathered to meet him so Sid and Sana didn't get a chance to meet with him. They just only saw a glance of him when he entered their college.

"Yaar yeh kya ho gaya? Hum toh thik se mil hi nahi paaye." Said Sana making a sad pout.

"Don't worry. Jaate waqt mil lenge. Abhi apne perfomance pe focus karte hai. Kya paata Arijit Singh bhi humare perfomance se impress ho jaaye?" Said Sid in sign language.

"Haan haan unko toh impress karna padega. Itne..... Handsome jo hai. Main toh fida ho gayi unn pe."

Sana said the last line intentionally to which Sid immediately made a cute jealous face. Sana chuckled seeing it and pulled his cheeks lovingly but Sid removed her hand making faces.

"Paata hai Sid, jab tu aise jealous hota hai na, mujhe tujh pe aur bhi zyada pyaar aane lagta hai. Paata nahi tujhe confess kab kar paaungi par aaj main apne singing ke zariye express karungi ki main tujhse kitna pyaar karti hoon. Agar tere dil mein bhi mere liye kuch aisa raha hoga toh tu meri feelings zaroor samjhega." Said Sana in her mind while looking at Sid.

After sometime...

"Dance performances toh bohut hue. Par jab khud Arijit Singh humare yaaha present hai toh thodi singing bhi ho jaaye? Now presenting a singing performance by two special students of our college, Sidharth Shukla and Shehnaaz Gill." Announced the host.

Soon the spotlight fell on Sid and Sana who were sitting on the chairs. The mic was near Sana's mouth while Sid was holding the guitar.

They smiled looking at each other and started the performance.

Sid played the guitar while Sana closed her eyes and started singing thinking about her love, her Sid.

Aaj tak na tumhe keh paaye
Kitna tumhe mera dil chahe

Sid's heart skipped a beat hearing her voice. They practiced this song together many times but today there was something in her voice. She was expressing her unsaid feelings for him which he himself also understood. Now he was sure that she loved him just like the way he loved her.

Sid blushed a little and continued playing the guitar while Sana continued singing.

Aaj tak na tumhe keh paaye
Kitna tumhe mera dil chahe
Lo kahu main tumko aaj
Mere liye zaroori hai tu

Sana looked at Sid and sang the next lines.

Baby I love you
Baby I love you

Sid felt goosebumps because of this. It was evident that Sana was confessing her love in front of everyone. Sid was feeling like screaming loudly and telling her that he loved her too. But he couldn't do that. So he decided that he would do this in his own way.

Sana understood his feelings seeing him blushing and sang while smiling.

Baby I love you
Do you love me too
Baby I love you

Arijit Singh was listening to them with full concentration.

"Yeh inke likhe hue lyrics hai?" He asked the principal who was sitting beside him.

"Haan Sir. Woh jo ladka guitar baja raha hai, Sidharth, uss hi ne yeh lyrics likhe hai. Bechara bol nahi sakta lekin bohut talented hai." Said the principal.

"Seriously?" Asked Arijit Singh with disbelief and then uttered looking at them, "Amazing!"

But there was someone who was burning in jealousy seeing their performance. It was none other than Shruti.

"Yeh dono ek dusre ko aise kyu dekh rahe hai? Kahi sach mein dono ek dusre se pyaar toh nahi karte? No, this can't be possible. Sid is only mine. I love him and he has to love me too." She said in her mind.

After sometime, they finished their performance and everyone clapped including Arijit Singh.

They got down the stage and joined other students who appreciated them for their mind blowing perfomance.

"Dekha? Tu faltu mein nervous ho raha tha. Kitni tarif kar rahe hai sab tere likhe hue gaane ki." Said Sana after sometime.

Sid smiled and said in sign language, "Yeh sab teri wajah se hua hai."

"Meri nahi hum dono ki wajah se." Said Sana correcting him. "Waise ek baat toh confirm ho gaya aaj, jodi hit hai apni. Dekhna ek din puri duniya SidNaaz ki jodi ki tarif karegi. Tu lyricist aur main singer."

Sid made a confused face hearing 'SidNaaz' which Sana understood.

"Nahi samjha?" She asked to which he nodded in no.

"Ruk main samjhati hoon. Tera pura naam hai Sidharth aur mera naam Shehnaaz. Mila ke hua na..... SidNaaz?"

Sid finally understood and said in sign language, "Tune phir prove kar diya ki intelligent toh hai tu."

"Of course hoon." Said Sana with attitude flipping her hair.

Then they both chuckled together.

Soon the host dragged everyone's attention.

"Ab aa gayi hai woh ghadi jiska sab ko besabri se intezar tha. Kyu ki stage pe aa rahe hai lakhon dilon ki dhadkan, the superstar, the one and only Arijit Singh!"

Sounds of clapping echoed in the auditorium. Everyone present there was waiting for this moment. They were hell excited for Arijit Singh's concert.

He went to the stage and stood there with his guitar. The students were cheering his name loudly.

Soon he started singing his famous songs one by one.

Shayad kabhi na keh sakoon main tumko

Sid looked at Sana with full of love who was busy watching the concert and cheering for Arijit Singh. He smiled seeing her this much happy.

Kahe bina samajh lo tum shayad

While everyone's attention was on Arijit Singh's concert, Sid was lost in adoring his Sana.

Shayad mere khayal mein tum ik din
Milo mujhe kahin pe ghum shayad

He slowly went close to her and held her hand protectively to which she also looked at him.

Jo tum na ho... rahenge hum nahin
Jo tum na ho... rahenge hum nahin
Na chahiye kuch tum se zyada tum se kam nahin

Sid and Sana both kept looking at each other with smiles on their faces. Now they both understood that they couldn't stay without each other and if they did, they both would remain incomplete. They not only realised their own feelings but understood each other's feelings as well.

At that moment, the thing they only needed was a proper confession.

And Sid decided to do it right then as he couldn't wait anymore. Sana was not only his love, she was his need and she should know about it.

Jo tum na ho... toh hum bhi hum nahi
Jo tum na ho... toh hum bhi hum nahi
Na chahiye kuch tum se zyada tum se kam nahin

Sid was so lost at that moment that he didn't realise when the performance ended. Sana immediately freed her hand from his hold and started clapping to which Sid also got his sense back and clapped as well.

He understood that it was a perfect chance to tell Sana about his feelings. He slowly jerked her shoulder making her look at him. Then he indicated her to come with him.

Sid started leaving from there while Sana started following him being little curious to know what he wanted to talk about.

Suddenly a girl came in front of her.

"Sana, lagta hai Arijit Singh ke jaane ka time ho gaya hai. Principal Sir chahte hai ki jaate waqt tum unhe flower bouquet do." She said.

Sana widened her eyes and asked, "Main? Really?"

"Yeah. You are so lucky! Abhi chalo zaldi."

Sana nodded in yes and left with the girl.

While leaving, she looked behind but didn't find Sid in the crowd. Otherwise she would have informed him about it.

"Paata nahi yeh Sid kaha chala gaya. Uss waqt bhi kuch kehne wala tha. Kya ho sakta hai? Is it something important? Koi naa, thodi der baad sun lungi." Thought Sana and then left.
