"Aunty maine saara saman taxi ke andar rakh diya hai." Said Jay after putting all the suitcases inside the the taxi.

Rita Ji's thoughts were broken by Jay's words. She gave the house keys to Mahi and said, "Dhyan se rehna Beta."

Mahi nodded and said, "Maa aap meri fikar mat karo. Bas Bhai ka treatment acche se karwana."

Saying that, she caressed Sid's head while he gave a slight smile.

Sid and Rita Ji were going to New York for Sid's treatment. After that incident, Jay did all the arrangements with the money Sana's father gave him. But he didn't tell anyone the truth as he promised to Sana. He convinced them saying that he contacted some NGO who were ready to sponsor Sid's treatment. It was not that much convincing as it was a huge amount but their happiness didn't let them think much. What mattered to them was that their Sid would be able to speak after this treatment.

They were about to leave when Jay said, "Dhyan se jaana aap dono. Aur waha New York mein maine saara intezam kar diya hai. Aap dono ko koi problem nahi hogi."

Rita Ji smiled and said, "Kitna saath de raha hai tu humare iss mushkil waqt mein. Mera khud ka beta naa hote hue bhi tu ek bete wala farz nibha raha hai. Aur dusri taraf teri behen..."

Rita Ji stopped and everyone's faces turned sad. Jay's situation was worse as he couldn't tell anybody in spite of knowing the whole truth.

Rita Ji ignored the topic as Sid would get hurt more and said, "Hum chalte hai. Chal Sid."

Sid nodded in yes and they got inside the taxi. Soon they left from there.

"Aaj kitna khushi ka mauka hai. Lekin hum mein se koi puri tarah se khush nahi hai." Said Mahi sadly. "Aaj agar Sana yaaha pe hoti toh yeh khushi kuch aur hi hoti. Samajh nahi aa raha Sana aisa kaise kar saki? Jis se pyaar ke itne waade kiye uss hi ka dil tod diya? Behen samjha tha maine usse aur Maa ne apni Beti jaisi maana tha. Hum sab ke pyaar ka yeh sila diya usne?"

Jay looked at Mahi helplessly.

"Kaash main tumhe sab sach baata paata. Aaj sirf uss hi ki wajah se Sid ka treatment ho raha hai. Par yeh sach main tum logo ko nahi baata sakta. Agar baataunga toh tum log sayad unn paison se treatment hi nahi karwaoge. Isliye mujhe tumse, tum sab se yeh baat chhupani hogi. I'm sorry." He said in his mind.

Meanwhile...

Sid was looking outside the taxi's window blankly. Suddenly he thought something and uttered, "Maa..."

Rita Ji looked at her and asked, "Kya hua Beta?"

"Aap inhe humare college ke raaste se jaane ke liye kahengi?" He asked in sign language.

"Lekin woh toh opposite mein hai. Waha se ho ke jaayenge toh time zyada lagega."

"Please."

Seeing Sid's face, Rita Ji understood his feelings and said to the driver, "Bhaiya aap SKS college se ho ke chaliye."

The taxi driver nodded and changed the route.

The taxi passed by the college when Sid brought his face outside and kept looking at the college with teary eyes.

Chaahiye kisi saaye mein jagah
Chaaha bahut baar hai

He remembered the first day when Sana entered the college. He remembered how their relationship changed slowly. From strangers to friends, then lovers and then strangers once again.

Na kahin kabhi mera dil lagaa
Kaisa samajhdaar hai

Tears rolled down Sid's cheeks while remembering their every memories in this city and also the night when he saw her for the last time.

Main na pohchun kyun wahaan pe
Jaana chaahun main jahaan
Main kahaan kho gaya
Aisa kya ho gaya

While entering the airport, he turned back and kept looking at the road for sometime, expecting to see her for the last time. But the moment never came.

"Woh ab nahi aayegi. After all uske liye yeh ek chhota sa fling hi tha. Isliye ab uska wait karne ka koi fayda nahi. Aage badh jaana hi behtar hai."

Thinking that, he started walking ahead with a broken heart.

O mehrama, kya mila
Yun juda hoke bata

But he was unknown to the fact that somewhere else, someone was also remembering him very badly.

"Tu New York jaa raha hai. Bohut zald tera treatment bhi suru hoga. Kaash iss waqt main tere saath ho paati. Lekin tujhe puri tarah se thik hona hoga, mere liye." Said Sana to Sid's photo and started crying pressing her mouth.

O mehrama, kya mila
Yun juda hoke bata

Sid went to New York and they both settled there. His treatment also started and the doctors said there were much chances that he could get his voice back.

Sid tried to be happy knowing that but the emptiness in his life didn't let him be happy fully. He wished if he could share this news with his love.

Like this he spent many of his lonely nights looking at the sky and thinking about how Sana was. Was she really happy without him?

Na khabar apni rahi
Na khabar apni rahi

On the other hand, Sana also spent her sleepless nights, watching the night sky and thinking about Sid.

Na raha tera pata

In spite of the separation, they both couldn't stop thinking about each other and missing each other.

O mehrma, kya mila
Yun juda hoke bata

Sana's nature totally changed after this incident. She wasn't the same spoilt and stubborn kid anymore. She became quiet and used to listen everything others said. Her parents were shocked seeing the change in her.

Soon Navjot Ji made Sana join their family business to which Sana agreed easily. To celebrate this they threw a party in their mansion as Sana loved parties.

But this time it didn't make her happy. She went to the bar counter and started drinking being tired of this fake show off.

Jo shor ka hissa hooni
Woh aawaz hoon
Logon mein hoon
Par tanha hoon main

After being drunk, she closed her eyes and smiled remembering her happy moments with Sid.

Haan tanha hoon main

Sana started going to office and learn all the works soon. She was doing good in her work but that too could not keep her mind diverted. Whenever she got free time, she used to be lost in her thoughts.

Duniya mujhe mujhse juda hi karti rahe
Bolo magar na baatein karun

While returning home from office, Sana saw a couple on the road and smiled sadly.

Ye kya hoon main

Here Mahi and Jay also came too meet Sid after six months to see the progress in his treatment.

"The reports are good. He has started pronouncing few words. Hope he will be able to speak soon." Said the doctor making Sid's family happy. They had tears in their eyes but smiles on their faces.

Sid tried to be happy seeing their happiness which he always wanted. But he failed as something was still missing.

Sab hai lekin main nahi hoon
Woh jo thoda tha kami
Woh hawa ho gaya
Kyu khafa ho gaya

One night, Sid was sleeping in his room. Some flashes of Sana came in front of her eyes and he smiled. Suddenly he saw her going away from him. He was trying to stop her but still
she was leaving him. He started feeling suffocated in sleep.

"S..ana... Don't go... I... Love... You..." He woke up from sleep while murmuring. He was sweating badly. But the next moment he realised something.

"Main.... bol...sakta..hoon?" He uttered with disbelief. A huge smile came to his face. His happiness had no limit.

"I... took...her...name... Maine usko... I love you...bola...I have to tell her...."

Sid took his phone and was about to call Sana but stopped remembering about the betrayal.

O mehrma, kya mila
Yun juda hoke bata
O mehrama, kya mila
Yun juda hoke bata

"Yeh main kya karne jaa raha tha? Shehnaaz Gill is a closed chapter of my life. Mujhe usse bhulna hoga. Yeh pehli aur akhri baar tha jab maine uska naam liya. Aaj ke baad main uska naam kabhi nahi lunga aur naa hi usse kabhi yaad karunga."

Thinking that, he blocked her number and deleted all her memories from his phone.

Na khabar apni rahi
Na khabar apni rahi
Na raha tera pata

Then he took his songbook and started writing some songs expressing his pain.

O meherma, kya mila
Yun juda hoke bata

Here Sid decided to forget Sana and remove her totally from his life while Sana decided to love her till her last breath and always cherish their beautiful memories.

7 Years Later...

A man and a woman were standing at a beautifully decorated place. The man took out a ring box from his pocket and went on his one knee.

"Itne saalon se hum ek dusre ko jaante hai par kabhi yeh kehne ki himmat nahi hui ki main tumse pyaar karta hoon. Aur jab finally humne confess kiya, tab haalat sahi nahi the. Tumhe kuch waqt chahiye tha. Bohut zinmedari thi tumhare kaandhon pe. Tum chahti thi ki pehle tumhara bhai settle ho jaaye uske baad hi tum apne baare mein sochogi, humare baare mein sochogi. And this is exactly what I love about you. Tum apne upar apni family ko rakhti ho. Ab itne saalon ke intezar ke baad mujhe lagta hai woh waqt aa gaya hai jab hum apne iss rishte ko aage le jaaye. So...."

He took a deep breath and asked, "Ms Mahi Shukla, will you marry me?"

Mahi smiled whole heartedly hearing that and said, "Yes Jay, I'll marry you."

Jay made Mahi wear the ring and kissed her hand. Then he stood up.

"Aaj hi baata de ghar mein sab ko?" Asked Jay.

"Sid Award show ke liye Goa gaya hai na? Woh kal wapas aa jaaye phir sabko eksaath baatayenge." Said Mahi.

"As you wish." Saying that Jay hugged Mahi while they both smiled.

Meanwhile...

"And the award of the best lyricist goes to...... Sidharth Shukla for Jhalli Si Ek Ladki!"

A man smiled confidently as he already knew it. He stood up and started walking to the stage. Yes, he is our Sid but not the old shy and innocent college boy anymore. He is now a grown up man with confidence and attitude.

He went to the stage and took his award. Then he looked at the audience taking away many girls' hearts.

Sid hold the mic near his mouth and said, "Thank you all.... For... L.. loving the song so much... A..and.... Giving me this.... Award......aise ruk ruk ke.... Baat karne ke liye... sorry.... zyada excitement mein... Aisa ho jaata hai... Kabhi kabhi."

Everyone chuckled hearing that and the host indicated Sid to take his time.

He took deep breath and said, "I'm grateful ki aap sab ne mujhe iss award ke layak samjha. Aaj main jo bhi hoon aap sab ki wajah se hi hoon. So I will dedicate this award to you all jinhone mujhe ab tak support kara and I hope aage bhi karte rahenge. Love you all and thanks once again."

Saying that, he left the stage and went to his team.

After the award show...

Sid got inside his car and driver was about to start. Suddenly he saw someone and asked the driver to wait.

The he opened the car's window and called, "Sanjana!"

A girl who was going to another car, stopped hearing that and came near.

(Sanjana Mathur, a 26 years old very pretty, jolly and ambitious girl. She is Sid's manager and one and only friend.)

"Get inside my car." Said Sid.

"Sir iski kya zaroorat hai? Main dusre car se chali jaaungi." Said Sanjana.

"Don't act so formal. Car mein jagah hai and mujhe tumhare saath kuch important discussion bhi karni hai. So come."

Sanjana smiled and got inside Sid's car. The driver started driving.

"Kaal ka schedule kya hai?" He asked scrolling his phone.

"Sir kaal...."

Sid interrupted Sanjana and said, "Why do you always forget? Ms. Sanjana Mathur, tum pehle meri family ho, uske baad meri best friend aur uske baad manager. Isliye har sentance mein yeh Sir mat lagaya karo please."

Sanjana laughed and said, "Okay my bad. So Sidharth kal hum subah 7 baje ki flight se Mumbai wapas aa rahe hai, 1 baje tumhari recording hai, uske baad shaam ko 5 baje tumhari music director ke saath meeting hai."

"Anything else?"

"Nope."

"Ek kaam karo, 7 p.m ko mere stylist ko bula lo."

"Kyu?"

"Soch raha hoon kuch naya look try karu. New haircut with clean shaved face."

Sanjana thought for a while and said, "Ek suggestion doon? I think tumhe yeh beard look hi rakhna chahiye. Tum iss mein zyada handsome and hot dikhte ho. And your fangirls are going crazy over this look of yours."

"That's true... I think I should fire my stylist. Tumhare hote hue stylist ki bhi zaroorat nahi hai mujhe."

"Of course. I'm an all rounder." Said Sanjana flipping her hair.

Then they both chuckled. Sid then continued scrolling his phone while Sanjana started texting someone.

As she was texting for a long time, Sid asked, "Boyfriend?"

Sanjana sighed and said dramatically, "Itni kismat kaha?"

"Why? You are pretty and talented as well. I wonder tum ab tak single kaise ho."

Sanjana's expression changed hearing that.

"Main tumhe pretty lagti hoon?" She asked smiling.

"You are." Said Sid casually.

"So if I like someone, is there any chance that he will also like me?"

"Sanjana any guy will like you. Tum bas uska naam baatana. Main khud chala jaaunga uske paas tumhe recommend karne."

Sanjana chuckled and said, "Rehne do. Filhaal iski zaroorat nahi hai. Aur jise main text kar rahi hoon woh mera boyfriend yaa crush nahi hai. Ek casting director hai, tumhe apni next film mein cast karna chahta hai."

"What?" Freaked out Sid. "I'm not an actor. I'm a lyricist and singer. Everyone knows that. Aur itne actors ke rehte woh mujhe kyu cast karna chahte hai?"

"God knows. He thinks you will be perfect for the hero's character. Unki bhi galti nahi hai waise but I know you are not going to try acting. Isliye main unhe maana kar rahi thi."

"Thanks. Yeh sab kuch itne acche handle karne ke liye." Said Sid giving a sigh of relief.

After sometime, he said, "By the way tum aaj kaal kuch zyada hi kaam kar rahi ho. You should really take a break to give some time to yourself and start seeing someone."

Sanjana rolled her eyes and said, "Look who's talking? Jo khud kaam ke alawa aur kisi baare mein nahi sochta. Why don't you start seeing some......"

She suddenly stopped as she noticed that Sid's face turned pale. He became very sad and felt pain in his heart remembering those old memories.

Sanjana understood his pain as she knew about this. She placed her hand on Sid's and said, "Sorry Sidharth. I shouldn't have said this."

Sid removed his hand said looking away, "It's ok. I'm fine."

Sanjana smiled sadly.

"Mujhe paata hai Sidharth ki tum aaj bhi uss ladki ko nahi bhule. Aur jo dhokha usne tumhe diya hai uske baad tumhara pyaar se bharosa hi uth chuka hai. Lekin main tumhe kaise baatau ki main tumse pyaar karti hoon Sidharth? I wish tum meri aankhon mein apne liye woh pyaar dekh paate aur apne past ko bhula ke mujhe accept kar paate. I really love you." Said Sanjana in her mind looking at Sid with love.

"Tumhare diye hue jakham se aaj bhi main ubhar nahi paaya Sana. Sayad ab tak tum mujhe bhul chuki hogi aur kisi aur ke saath move on bhi kar chuki hogi. Lekin mere liye yeh impossible hai. Nafrat ho chuki hai mujhe iss pyaar naam ki chiz se. I just hate it." Said Sid in his mind and a lone tear escaped his eyes.
