One day, Sid was scrolling his phone's gallery and seeing his old photos with Sana. His eyes became teary remembering those days when they used to be closed.

He sighed and said in his mind, "I have to speak to her. I can't let our friendship be destroyed like this. Haan main uss se pyaar karta hoon. Lekin woh Arjun se pyaar karti hai. Aur main bhi Natasha ko dhokha nahi de sakta. Sayad kismat ko yeh hi manjoor hai ki hum dost bane rahe. Main Sana se maafi maang leta hoon jis se humare bich sab kuch pehle jaisa ho jaaye."

Thinking that, he gathered a lot of courage and called Sana.

Sana became emotional seeing his name on her phone's screen. She received his call and said in a broken voice, "Hello...."

Sid couldn't understand what to say as he was also very emotional right then.

After waiting for sometime, Sana said, "Yaar at least baat toh kar."

"I'm sorry Sana. I'm so sorry."

That was all he could say.

"Uss din paata nahi mujhe kya ho gaya tha. It was so wrong. Main apne action ko justify toh nahi kar sakta par ho sake toh please mujhe maaf kar de. Main nahi chahta ki humare bich sab kuch itna awkward rahe. I don't want to lose our friendship."

Sana chuckled painfully hearing his words. He was guilty for his actions. And it was expected to her. After all he loves Natasha, not her.

Sana wiped her tears and said, "It's ok Baba. I know tune kuch bhi intentionally nahi kiya. Haan uss din bohut galat hone wala tha, par hua toh nahi? Let's forget about it. I'm happy ki tune mujhe call toh kiya."

Sid smiled sadly and said, "Nahi raha gaya aur. Adat ho gayi hai na teri? Umm..... Sana hum ekdin mil sakte hai? It has been a long time."

Sana thought for a while and asked, "Double date pe chale?"

"Double date, single date.... I don't care. Mujhe bas tujhse milna hai."

"Ok then, I'll talk to Arjun. Tu Natasha se baat kar le. Sunday ko milte hai."

"Ok."

They both kept quiet for sometime and said together, "I just can't wait to meet you."

Saying that they both smiled.

"Hum dono humesha ek time pe ek hi baat kehte hai." Said Sana.

"Maybe it's because we understand each other well." Said Sid.

"Yeah."

They both again became quiet.

"Thik hai tu Arjun se baat kar. Date fixed hogaya toh mujhe baata dena." Said Sid.

"Haan main baat karti hoon uss se." Said Sana.

"Abhi rakhta hoon. Bye."

"Bye..."

Sid hanged up. Sana looked at her phone and sighed.

"Sid you understand me more than anyone else. But still.... You couldn't understand my feelings for you.... Sayad yeh hi sahi hai. Hum dono hi ek serious relationship mein hai. Humara ek hona possible nahi. Main tere aur Natasha ke bich mein nahi aa sakti. Aur Arjun ko bhi aise nahi chhor sakti. Hum sayad dost hi thik hai." She thought.

Soon their double date got fixed at the same club where Sid and Sana first met as both Arjun and Natasha agreed to come. For Sid and Sana, the double date was just an excuse to spend time with each other. They both started waiting for it.

Sunday at the club....

Sid and Natasha were waiting near the bar.

Natasha looked around the club and said, "This club is nice. I didn't know about this. Tum pehle bhi aaye ho kya yaaha?"

Sid suddenly remembered the day when he first came to this club and met Sana.

"Haan woh.... Ek baar bohut stressed tha toh aa gaya tha, chill karne." He replied.

"See? Mere saath reh ke tumhe chill karna bhi aa gaya. Otherwise you used to hate these types of places. I think you should thank me."

Sid didn't reply and gave a fake smile.

"By the way tumhari friend kab aa rahi hai apne boyfriend ke saath?" Asked Natasha further.

Suddenly Sid got a message from Sana.

"Just arrived."

"Bar pe aa jaa." He typed.

"Okay." She typed.

"They have come." Said Sid looking at Natasha.

Soon Sana came there with Arjun. Both Sid and Sana passed a smile to each other.

"Hi!" Said Sid feeling happy to see her after a long time. But he was little nervous too.

"Hi!" Replied Sana while having the same feeling.

"Umm.... Natasha, this is my friend Sana...."  He said further introducing.

"Hi Sana!"

"Hello Natasha!"

Sana and Natasha shook hands with each other.

"And Arjun this is Sid..." Said Sana.

"Hey!" Said Arjun shaking hands with Sid and gave him a side hug. During the handshake, Arjun pressed Sid's hand so hard that it started paining.

Then Arjun looked at Natasha and said in a flirty tone. "Hi beautiful! Looks like I have seen you somewhere. Are you a model?"

"Oh no! Not at all." Said Natasha behaving shy.

"But you look like one."

"Thank you. You also look no less than a bollywood actor."

Like this they both started flirting with each other forgetting about Sid and Sana.

Meanwhile Sid messaged Sana and indicated her to check her phone.

Sana opened her phone and read his message.

"Tere Arjun ne haath tod diya."

Sana laughed silently and looked at Sid who made a crying face showing his hand.

Then Sana glanced at Natasha and messaged Sid, "Teri Natasha seedha salon se aayi hai kya? Full ready ho ke."

Sid also laughed silently reading her message. Then they looked at Arjun and Natasha who were busy with each other.

"Tum kabhi kabhi humare gym aaya karo. It's a perfect place for you." Said Arjun to Natasha.

"But mujhe dumble uthana nahi aata." Said Natasha making a sad pout.

"Don't worry. I'm there. Sikha dunga." Said Arjun giving a wink to which Natasha blushed.

Sid and Sana widened their eyes and looked at each other while controlling their laugh. Sid again messaged Sana.

"Natasha toh Arjun se fully impressed hogayi hai. Mera patta cut😭😭"

"Mera bhi. Arjun toh mujhe bhul hi gaya. Lagta hai Natasha ne koi jadu kar diya🥺🥺"

They started having fun while chatting with each other.

After sometime Arjun said, "Guys, let's order some drinks for us. What say?"

"Yeah sure." Replied Sid.

"Tumhare liye kya order karu?" Asked Arjun to which Natasha replied, "Wine will be good."

"Sounds classy, just like you."

"And what about you?"

"I'll go with scotch."

"Cool!"

"Tum dono toh bade hi-fi ho yaar." Said Sid interrupting. "Mera aur Sana ka toh coca cola se hi kaam chal jayega."

Sana smiled hearing that and said, "Pizza Party with coca cola. Humne kayi baar kiya hai."

Sid smiled looking at Sana.

"Seriously guys? Tum dono yaaha aa ke coca cola peeoge?" Asked Natasha making faces.

"Yeah it's ridiculous! Tum dono 10 saal ke bacche ho kya?" Said Arjun looking at Sana.

"But we like it." Said Sana to which Arjun nodded his head in disbelief.

After that they ordered their drinks.

"Waise tum dono ke taste kaafi milte hai. No doubt you guys are best friends." Said Arjun looking at Sid and Sana. "By the way, tum dono kab se dost ho? Because Sana never told me about you."

"Yeah Sid. You also never told me about her." Said Natasha.

Sid and Sana gulped their saliva. They couldn't tell them the truth.

"Actually main aur Sid school times se best friends hai. After 10th, his family got shifted and we lost touch. But abhi kuch din pehle social media ke through hum phir se mile." Said Sana making up a story instantly.

"You guys were in the same school? But Sana as far as I know, tum girls' school se pass out hui thi." Said Arjun.

Sana bit her tongue realising her mistake.

"Woh kya hai ki...... Main woh.... Asal mein......" Sana couldn't think much and said, "Unn dino Sid frock pehen ke girls' school mein aaya karta tha taa ki uski kuch female friends ban jaaye. Aur tab hi humari dosti hui."

"What???" Arjun and Natasha freaked out while Sid couldn't understand what to say.

"Is it true?" Asked Natasha immediately looking at Sid.

"Haan.... Matlab...... Woh bol rahi hai toh..... Sach hi hai...." Said Sid looking at Sana helplessly while she gave a sorry look.

"Tum frock pehen ke jaate the.... I can't believe this! Tumne pehle kyu nahi baataya mujhe?" Said Natasha making an irritated face.

"Baby let me explain......"

"I don't want any explanation. Just get lost."

Saying that Natasha left from there and sat at a table. Arjun, Sana and Sid went after her.

"Yeh kehne ki kya zaroorat thi?" Said Sid in a low voice.

"Aur kuch dimaag mein hi nahi aaya. Sorry!" Said Sana whispering.

They all sat at the table.

"But bro you should consult a psychiatrist. Tumhari dimaagi halat thik nahi hai. Warna aisa kaun karta hai?" Said Arjun taunting.

"Exactly!" Said Natasha agreeing. "You know this is so cheap! Aur yaaha aa ke yeh sab paata chalna kitna humiliating hai mere liye paata hai? Tumhara toh koi class hai nahi, but atleast think about my image."

Arjun and Natasha both started targetting Sid making him little scared.

"Natasha relax! It's not a big deal." Said Sana defending Sid.

"It is a big deal okay?" Said Arjun sternly looking at Sana. "Lekin tumhe yeh sab samajh mein nahi aayega. Tumhare liye yeh sab matter nahi karta par Natasha ke liye karta hai. Because she is not like you. She has a standard."

"Dekha Sid? Finally! I met a real man. Kaash Arjun ki thodi si bhi qualities tumhare andar hoti toh aaj yeh din nahi dekhna padta." Said Natasha.

Sid and Sana both became fed up of the continuous allegations by their partners that too for no reason.

"This is so stupid!" Uttered Sana while drinking.

"Oh this is not stupid!" Shouted Arjun. "It's all about the image. Why don't you get it?"

Finally Sana sighed and banged on the table dragging everyone's attention. Now it was enough. She have to speak.

Sana stood up and said pointing towards Arjun and Natasha, "Sid! Just look at these guys. They are so fake."

Arjun and Natasha frowned hearing that.

"They don't even love us. Why are we pretending that we want them in our life? I think we deserve much better."

Everyone became shocked at her statement including Sid. He didn't expect this from her.

"What the hell!" Arjun stood up shouting. He was very angry as his male ego was hurt.

Ignoring him totally, Sana looked at Sid with full of love.

"Sid, I never thought that I would be able to say this to you.... Umm..... You complete me. I hope I complete you too."

As soon as Sana said this, a beautiful smile came to Sid's face. His heart started racing.

"Yeh jodi.... Bilkool perfect hai." Said Sana ponting towards each other.

Sid immediately stood up and went near her.

"Sana main kab se tujhe yeh bolna chahta tha. Lekin mujhe laga sayad tu mujhe sirf as a friend dekhti hai. Isliye nahi bol paaya. But I can't pretend anymore. Mujhe nahi chahiye aisa relationship jaha mujhe har waqt kuch aur ban ke rehna pade. I want to be myself. Aur woh main sirf tere saath ho sakta hoon. Same goes with you also. We accepted each other as what we actually are. Hum dono ek dusre ke liye bilkool sahi hai. Sana I....... I love you!"

Finally Sid confessed his feelings. Sana's eyes became teary due to extreme happiness.

"Sid I love you too." She confessed making him happy as well. They both started smiling and blushing.

On the other hand, Arjun and Natasha gave a shocking expression.

Sana looked at Arjun and said smiling, "I'm breaking up with you."

"What?" Asked Arjun.

"I'm breaking up with you too." Said Sid looking at Natasha.

"How can you do this to me?" Asked Natasha.

Sid and Sana kept smiling as they very well knew that this break up wouldn't affect them as they never actually loved them. They were just angry at that moment.

Arjun went to Sana, made her turn towards him holding her hand and said, "Listen, if it's a joke then it's really very disgusting. Say sorry to me right now so that I can think of forgiving you."

Sid's blood boiled seeing it. He freed Sana's hand and came between them.

"Cool down Bro! Suna na usne kya bola? She has broken up with you. Ab woh meri hai. So treat her with some respect. Warna itna maarunga ki tu gym jaana toh dur, gym bolna bhi bhul jayega." He threatened making Arjun quiet. Sana smiled proudly hearing his words and seeing his courage.

Natasha stood up and went to Sid.

"You know what Sid, I'm done with you. Mujhe tumhare saath koi relation nahi rakhna. Tumhe jo karna hai tum karo. Just never show me your face again."

Saying that Natasha started leaving from there angrily.

"Wait outside. I'll drop you." Said Arjun to Natasha.

"Thank you Natasha. Mera peecha chhor ne ke liye." Said Sid loudly so that Natasha could hear.

After she left, Arjun glared Sid and Sana and said while leaving, "Tum dono yeh decision bohut buri tarah se regret karoge dekh lena."

Sid and Sana laughed looking at each other and then said to him together, "Nahi karenge!!!"

Like this, Arjun also left. Sid and Sana turned to each other.

"It was crazy, right?" Asked Sid still not being able to believe what happened there a moment ago.

"Ek baar kisi bohut hi intelligent ladke ne mujhe kaha tha ki life mein kabhi kabhi crazy decisions le lene chahiye." Said Sana smiling.

Sid chuckled. After that they both hugged each other tightly. Finally they were feeling completed.

Later that night...

Sid and Sana came out of the club and got inside Sid's car.

Sid was about to start the car but stopped thinking something.

"Kya soch raha hai?" Asked Sana seeing his face.

"Paata hai Sana, main kabhi destiny pe believe nahi karta tha. Par aaj jo bhi hua uske baad lag raha hai, sayad humara milna destiny mein likha tha. Tu khud hi soch, ek crowded club mein, itne shor sharabein ke bich, two broken hearts kaha milte hai? It's all destined my love." Said Sid to which Sana nodded thinking about their destiny.

Then she sat on Sid's lap and wrapped her hands around his neck.

"Toh iska matlab kaal tu free hai?" Asked Sana cutely.

"Tere liye? Puri zindagi." Said Sid looking at her lovingly and kissed the top of her nose.

"Pizza Party with coca cola ke liye?"

"Always."

"Aur apni virginity break karne ke liye?"

Sid started blushing hearing that.

"Nahi main....." He hesitated.

"Abhi bhi ready nahi hai?" Asked Sana.

Sid sighed and said, "I think ready hoon. Iss baar sayad nervousness nahi hogi. Tu hogi na mere saath?"

Sana also blushed at his words.

"Par uss se pehle main apna kuch adhoora kaam pura karna chahta hoon." He said further.

"Kaunsa adhoora kaam?" She asked.

Sid looked at her lips. Before Sana could understand anything, he captured her lips. Sana smiled in between the kiss and started kissing him back. They both kept kissing each other passionately while Sid closed the car windows with one hand.

The End...
