At Night...

Sana went to meet Arjun wearing one of the dresses Sid gave her. As soon as Arjun looked at her, his jaw dropped seeing her in that short dress. Sana went near him when Arjun was staring at her without even blinking.

"Looking so hot!" He said with surprise and Sana looked down.

"Thank you." She uttered.

"Did you wear this for me?" Asked Arjun to which Sana nodded in yes.

"I knew it Baby." Said Arjun huskily and kissed Sana's cheeks.

For the first time, Sana felt little uncomfortable but didn't show it on face.

"You liked the arrangements?" Asked Arjun pointing towards the arrangements he did for their date.

"Yeah it's.... Amazing." Replied Sana.

Arjun hold Sana's hands and said, "Sana kuch dino se jaise tum mujhe ignore kar rahi thi, it was really hurting me. But it also made me realise that I want you in my life. Aur aaj jo tumne mere liye apna dressing style change kiya, it proved that you care about my choices. Now I strongly feel that our relationship can work. What do you say?"

"Yeah." Replied Sana briefly.

"I love you sweetheart!"

"I... Love you... too..." Said Sana but she didn't know why this time the words didn't come out of her heart. She uttered those words only to give him a reply, nothing else.

After spending some time together, Arjun played a song and asked Sana for a romantic dance. Sana agreed and they started dancing together.

At first, Sana was enjoying the dance but her expression changed when suddenly Sid's thought came to her mind. She remembered the day when they were dancing at his house. Throughout their dance, Sana only remembered it. But the only thing Sana couldn't understand was why she was thinking about Sid during their date. Isn't it weird? She had no answer.

Sana's thought broke when Arjun turned her towards him and cupped her face. Then he closed his eyes and moved closer and Sana understood his next move.

"Arjun!" She said moving away and he opened his eyes.

"What happened?" He asked.

"Umm... Actually.... I'm not feeling well. Can you just drop me home?" She said.

"Itni zaldi?"

"Yeah... Sorry for this but.... Mujhe kuch thik nahi lag raha."

"Ok then. Let's go."

After that, Arjun dropped Sana home and their date ended like this.

Meanwhile...

Sid and Natasha returned from their date.

"Aaj ka date best tha. I just loved it. Aaj tum mere favourite place par gaye, boring baatein kar ke mujhe pakaya bhi nahi.... Looks like you have improved a lot." Said Natasha happily.

"Tum khush toh ho na?" Asked Sid to know if she was pleased or not.

"Main bohut khush hoon." Replied Natasha. "Haan aaj subah tumne jo kiya, I haven't forgiven you for that. But it's ok. Tum zyada din mujhse nahi bach sakte. Meri yeh ada tumhe bohut zald mere paas kheech ke laayegi."

Sid didn't say anything and smiled slightly.

"Lekin tumne mere liye khud ko change kiya, iss chiz se main fully impressed hoon. Now you have become smart, handsome and dashing. And I love you for these efforts."

Saying that Natasha hugged Sid to which he startled. Suddenly he remembered his birthday night when he and Sana hugged. Both the hugs were different. He didn't feel that with Natasha which he felt with Sana. But why was he thinking about her?

Sid hugged Natasha back while trying to find an answer.

Next Morning...

Sid called Sana to talk about their dates at last night.

"Toh.... Kaisa raha tera date?" Asked Sid.

"Very romantic." Said Sana. "Tujhe paata hai main woh violet dress pehen ke gayi thi. And guess what? Arjun got a heart attack."

"What? Is he dead?" Asked Sid making a worried face.

Sana nodded in disbelief and said, "Stupid! He loved my look yaar."

"Thank God." Said Sid giving a sigh of relief. "Aur baata. Kya kya hua date pe?"

"Hona kya hai? Hum dono ne romantic baatein kiyi, phir saath mein bohut hi romantic sa dance kiya...."

Sid's face suddenly turned pale hearing that.

"Also he gave me a kiss on my...."

Before she could complete, Sid said in a serious tone, "Thik hai. Thik hai. Aur bolne ki zaroorat nahi hai. Mujhe paata hai aage kya hua hoga."

Sana was going to say about the cheek kiss but she frowned hearing his tone. Was he upset or something?

"Kya hua Sid? Is everything okay?" She asked.

"Yeah of course." Said Sid hiding his emotions which he himself was unaware of.

"Accha yeh baata tera date kaisa raha?" She asked further.

"It was magical! Natasha aur maine bohut hi accha time spend kiya. Even humara toh ghar wapas aane ka mann hi nahi kar raha tha. It was that good." Said Sid in extra faking happiness.

Sana smiled sadly as somewhere she felt bad.

After a long pause, she said, "Sid, we have done it yaar! Humari love life sorted hai. There is no problem."

Sid just hummed sadly. He was not that happy after getting what he wanted since so many days.

"Tu bhi kuch bol." Said Sana.

"Yaar.... Kuch aur baat karte hai na? Let's talk about us...." He said.

Sana was going to say something when she noticed that Arjun's call was coming.

"Sun na... Arjun ka call aa raha hai. Main uss se baat kar ke tujhe call back karti hoon."

Saying that Sana hanged up and received Arjun's call.

Sid became sad. He didn't like that she gave priority to Arjun's call over his. But it was obvious, right? After all he was her Bf. Then why was he feeling bad about it? Again he had no answer.

After that, Sid waited for Sana to call him back but she forgot about it.

In The Evening...

Sana suddenly remembered that she forgot to call Sid back. She immediately dialled his number.

Sid recieved the call.

"Sorry yaar. Subah baaton baaton mein tujhe call back karna bhul hi gayi. Are you free now?" She said.

"Nahi woh...." Before he could complete, a female voice came from behind.

"Baby come!!! We are getting late." Said Natasha.

"Wait I'm coming." Replied Sid.

Sana's face became serious hearing that.

"Natasha ke saath bahar jaa raha hai?" She asked sadly.

"Yeah.... we are going to watch a movie." He replied.

Meanwhile Natasha came to Sid and said dragging him, "Kya har waqt phone pe ghuse rehte ho? Let's go."

"Baby I'm talking to someone nah?" He said to Natasha to which she made a face.

Sana sighed and said, "You should go. We will talk later."

Saying that she hanged up.

"Baat bhi nahi karne deti mere dost se. Chudail!" Said Sana making an angry pout.

Some days passed. Both Sid and Sana started spending so much time with their partners that they didn't get time for each other. They were doing all this for their own relationships but somewhere this distance was hurting both of them.

One day, Sid came to Sana's house direct from office. That day, he didn't have any plans with Natasha so he decided to give the time to his best friend.

He clicked the doorbell of her house and Chintu opened the door.

"Hi! Kaise ho tum?" He said to Chintu while trying to look inside.

Chintu noticed it and said, "Main toh thik hoon. Lekin Di ghar pe nahi hai."

"Huh?"

"Di se hi milne aaye ho na? Woh ghar pe nahi hai. Arjun Bhaiya ke saath bahar gayi hai."

"Ohh accha. Mujhe paata nahi tha." Said Sid sadly. "Thik hai main chalta hoon."

He was about to leave when Chintu said, "Sid Bhaiya!"

Sid looked at him.

"Mujhe paata hai aap Di se pyaar karte ho. Aap na unhe zaldi se propose kar do. Humare ghar mein Arjun Bhaiya ko koi pasand nahi karta. Aap aur Di saath mein zyada acche lagte ho." Said Chintu.

Sid became shocked hearing Chintu's words. He didn't say anything and left from there.

He got inside his car and started thinking about everything. Chintu's words and also his new feelings since some days. He was feeling restless.

"What the f*ck is happening to me?" He said in his mind and banged on the steering.

"Humne yeh sab sirf isliye kiya taa ki hum apne apne partners ke saath khush reh sake. Toh jab Sana woh hi kar rahi hai, mujhe itna bura kyu feel ho raha hai? Why am I feeling betrayed? Arjun uska boyfriend hai, main thodi hoon yaar? Then why is it hurting so much?"

He didn't realise when teardrops fell from his eyes.

He wiped his tears and thought, "No. This is so wrong. I can't feel this way for her. I have to stop thinking about it."

Then he called Natasha and said, "Can we meet now?... Nothing. I just want to see you..... Thik hai main aata hoon."

He hanged up and sighed.

"I need to distract my mind." He thought and left from there with his car.

Next Day...

"Sana yeh Rajma Chawal tu zara Sid ko de ke aayegi?" Said Sana's mother giving her a lunch box.

"Sid toh sayad abhi office mein hoga." Said Sana.

"Toh office mein jaa ke de aa. Waise bhi bohut dino se woh humare ghar nahi aaya. Aaj maine Rajma banaya toh socha uske liye bhi thoda bhejh doon. Sid ko mere haath ka Rajma Chawal bohut pasand hai."

Chintu heard their conversation and said, "Arrey yaad aaya. Di kaal Sid Bhaiya aaye the."

"Sid aaya tha?" Asked Sana.

"Haan. Aap ghar pe nahi thi isliye woh chale gaye."

Sana thought for a while and said, "Mummy aap ek kaam karo. Mera lunch bhi pack kar do. Main aur Sid eksaath hi lunch kar lenge."

Sana's mother nodded and packed Sana's lunch as well.

After that, Sana went to Sid's office. She was really excited to see him after so many days.

Entering his office, she went to his cabin but stopped suddenly seeing Natasha in her cabin. Sid and Natasha were having lunch together. Sana felt a pinch on her heart seeing it. She didn't want to interrupt them and be an unwanted guest, so she left from there not before giving the lunchbox at the office's reception.

While returning home, the scene of Sid and Natasha having lunch together came in front of her eyes. She had to admit that she was not liking it. Their closeness was bothering her.

"Sab kuch bilkool waisa hi ho raha hai jaisa hona chahiye. Sirf main hi kyu isse accept nahi kar paa rahi? I should be happy for him. Natasha uski care kar rahi hai, pehle ki tarah usse mistreat nahi kar rahi. Aur woh bhi toh kitna khush hai. Main kyu uski khushi mein khush nahi ho paa rahi? Itna hurt kyu ho raha hai? Aisa kyu lag raha hai jaise maine kuch kho diya? Kya maine sach mein kuch kho diya?" She thought and teardrops fell from her eyes as well.
