In the morning, Sid spread his hand in sleep but felt something empty beside him. He opened his eyes and didn't find Sana beside him. Then he saw her standing near the window. She was smoking. He wore his clothes and went near her.

She looked at him and said, "Yeh mila teri pocket se. Isliye gaya tha na tu bahar? Chal accha hai."

She continued smoking. Sid didn't say anything and just back-hugged her. Sana made an irritated face and pushed him harshly.

"Zyada chipak mat. Kaal raat se mann nahi bhara tera? Mil toh gaya jo chahiye tha. Isliye ab dur rahe mere se." She said pointing her finger towards him to which Sid made a confused face.

"Kya mil gaya mere ko?" He asked.

"Meri body. Woh ich chahiye tha tere ko aur maine de diya. Ab aur koi umeed mat rakhna."

Saying that she tried to leave but he held her hand tightly.

"Kya kaha tune? Mere ko teri body chahiye thi? Tu yeh sab sochti hai mere baare mein?" He asked.

"Toh aur kya? Isliye toh raat bitayi humne. Kyu ki aisa toh hai nahi ki tere ko mere se pyaar hogaya hai...."

"Haan ho gaya hai!" Screamed Sid angrily.

He pulled her towards himself and said looking at her eyes, "Pyaar karne laga hoon tere se."

Sana was shocked for a moment as she found honesty in his eyes. Then she gave a sarcastic smile and said, "Pyaar? Aur yeh kab hua? Kaal raat ko jab hum woh sab kar rahe the? Kabhi kisi ladki ke saath woh sab kiya nahi hai kya?"

"Kiya hai. Lekin kaal jo apne beech hua woh alag tha. Accha lag raha tha jab tu mere kareeb thi, jab tere ko maine chhua, jab har tarah se tere ko apna banaya. Yeh chori chakari loot paat ke bahar bhi ek zindagi hoti hai woh kaal maine mehsoos kiya. Mere ko ab tere saath ich rehna hai. Pyaar karna hai, shaadi karni hai tere se." Said Sid from the bottom of his heart and Sana became lost in him.

"Kya tu yeh nahi chahti?" He asked when Sana got back her sense.

She freed her hand from his grip and shouted, "Nahi!"

She was leaving when Sid again hold her hand and said, "Jhuth. Agar aisa ich hota toh teri aankhon mein mere ko yeh pyaar nahi dikhta jo ab dikh raha hai."

"Apni bakwas band kar." Said Sana taking off her eyes.

Sid squeezed her cheeks angrily making her look at him and said, "Agar yeh sab bakwas hai toh sach kya hai baata. Tere ko mere se pyaar nahi hai? Nahi hai tere dil mein mere liye feelings? Baata!"

Sana jerked him away and screamed, "Feelings hai! Aur woh ich problem hai. Agar feelings nahi hoti, agar sab kuch sirf physical hota toh thik tha. Lekin feelings aane lagi hai tere saath. Aur mere ko yeh sab nahi chahiye. Nahi fasna mere ko pyaar ke chakkar mein. Isliye tere se haath jod ke request karti hai, dur rahe mere se. Please!!!"

Sana started crying folding her hands. Sid's eyes also became moist. He cupped her face and said, "Nahi reh sakta. Aur rehna hi kyu hai? Agar hum dono ek dusre se pyaar karte hai toh saath rehne mein kya dikkat hai?"

Sana again pushed him and said, "Saath rehna hai na tujhe? Chal reh lenge. Phir kya hoga? Ek do saal baad shaadi kar lenge. Phir bacche honge. Kya banayenge unko? Apne jaise looterein? Jaha dusre Maa Baap apne bacchon ko acchi chize shikhate hai, hum unko chori karna shikhayenge. Uske baad unko bhi gang mein shaamil kar lenge. Aur puri zindagi woh police se bhagte rahenge humari tarah. Yeh ich chahta hai na tu?"

Sid looked down.

"Sid samajh meri baat ko. Jo zindagi hum jeete hai, uss mein pyaar ki koi jagah nahi hai." She said further.

"Toh nayi zindagi suru karenge. Waise bhi iss zindagi mein rakha kya hai? Nahi chahiye mere ko yeh sab. Mere ko woh zindagi chahiye jis mein tu hogi, apni ek choti si family hogi. Uss zindagi mein sirf khushiyan hogi Sana. Chal hum sab kuch chhor ke yaaha se bhag chalte hai...."

Sana showed him her hand and said, "Main Mustafa Bhai ke saath gaddari nahi kar sakti. Iss baare mein aur koi baat nahi hogi. Main thoda bahar jaa rahi hai, idhar dam ghut raha hai mera."

Saying that she started leaving from there.

"Sana! Sana!" Sid started going after her while calling her name.

Sana came out of the house and started walking in the jungle when suddenly some men came infront of her.

"Kaun ho tum log? Idhar kaise aaye?" She asked frowning.

The men were giving evil smirk.

"Maine puchha idhar......"

Before she could complete, one of them closed her mouth and pulled her towards himself. Then he turned her around and pointed the gun near her head.

Sana started struggling to come out of the man's grip.

"Ayeee zyada hil mat warna thok ke rakh dunga." Shouted the man.

At that very moment, Sid came there and stopped seeing the scene. He became scared for her but tried to stay calm.

"Chhote boss, humne isse pakad liya hai. Aap kaho toh yeh ich thok dete hai. Phir murthi le ke bhag jaayenge." Said the man.

Sana became shocked hearing that and looked at Sid with disbelief.

Sid smirked and said, "Murthi ghar ke andar hi rakhi hai. Main le ke aata hoon. Lekin uss se pehle isse apne haathon se thokunga. Banduk de."

The man handed Sana to Sid and gave him the gun. Sid hold Sana tightly and pointed the gun towards her head.

"Saali, itne din bohut chala li tune apni. Ab paata chala main kaun hoon? Yeh tere zindagi ke akhri pal hai. Koi akhri iccha ho toh baata de." Said Sid while slowly moving backwards. Sana looked at him with disgust. She was feeling betrayed.

After moving to a far distance, Sid pointed the gun towards the goons making them shocked.

"Apne apne banduk neeche rakh!" Said Sid angrily.

"Lekin chhote Boss...."

"Banduk neeche rakh!" Yelled Sid.

They gulped their saliva and put down their guns. Sid freed Sana and hold her hand.

"Humein bhagna hoga." He said and started running with her.

"Ayye pakad unhe bhag rahe hai!" Said the men and started running behind them picking up their arms.

Sid and Sana started running as fast as they could while saving themselves from the firings by the goons.

O.. Ek sooraj nikla tha
Kuchh paara pighla tha
Ek aandhi aayi thi
Jab dil se aah nikli thi
Dil se re
Dil se re, dil se re
Dil se re, dil se re
Dil se re

While running they both hid behind a tree. Sid pinned Sana to the tree and started seeing if they were coming or not.

"Kya hua tere ko? Kyu bacha raha hai mere ko? Tu toh dusre gang ka admi hai na? Murthi chahiye tere ko? Toh phir le le na mere ko maar ke?"

"Chup!" Whispered Sid closing her mouth with his hand. They both looked deep into each other's eyes with passion.

Dil to aakhir dil hai na
Meethi si mushkil hai na
Piya piya
Piya piya
Piya na piya
Jiya jiya
Jiya na jiya

Suddenly Sid spread his arm behind and fired. A man who was coming to kill them, fell on the ground.

Dil se re, dil se re

Some more goons started approaching towards them and they again started running.

Ooo....
Do Patte Patjhad Ke Pedon Se Utrey Thay
Pedon Ki Shaakhon Se Utrey Thay

They hid behind a rock and Sid started firing.

Phir Utne Mausam Guzre Vo Patte Do Bechaare
Phir Ugne Ki Chaahat Mein Vo Sehraon Se Guzre

The goons also hid behind another rock and both kept firing.

Vo Patte Dil Dil Dil Thay
Vo Dil Thay Dil Dil Dil Thay

Sana closed her eyes as she got scared seeing all this. She was not used to this. Many times she faced police's bullets but this was more dangerous.

Sid noticed her getting scared and hugged her with one hand to give her comfort. She buried her face in his chest.

Dil Hai To Phir Dard Hoga
Dard Hai To Dil Bhi Hoga
Mausam Guzarte Rehte Hain
Dil Hai To Phir Dard Hoga
Dard Hai To Dil Bhi Hoga
Mausam Guzarte Rehte Hain
Dil Se Dil Se Dil Se Dil Se
Dil Se Re

Soon all the bullets were over. Realising that, the goons also didn't have bullets, he threw his gun and again started running with Sana while the goons started following them.

Dil To Aakhir Dil Hai Na
Meethi Si Mushkil Hai Na
Piya Piya
Piya Piya
Piya Na Piya
Jiya Jiya
Jiya Na Jiya
Dil Se Re

After sometime the goons blocked their ways. Sid and Sana prepared themselves to face them.

Ooo...
Bandhan Hai Rishton Mein
Kaaton Ki Taarein Hain
Patthar Ke Darwaaze Deewaarein

A goon came towards them and Sid kicked his stomach while Sana punched the another goon. She understood that now she had to fight bravely.

Belein Phir Bhi Ugti Hain
Aur Guchchhe Bhi Khilte Hain
Aur Chalte Hain Afsaane
Kirdaar Bhi Milte Hain

They both were fighting with the goons. Suddenly Sid carried Sana a little and she kicked the goons one by one.

Vo Rishtey Dil Dil Dil Thay
Vo Dil Thay Dil Dil Dil Thay

Sid took Sana down and they smiled looking at each other.

Gam Dil Ke Pak Chulbule Hain
Paani Ke Ye Bulbule Hain
Bujhte Hain Bante Rehte Hain

Suddenly a man tried to attack Sid with stick but Sana hold the stick with her hand and kicked the goon. She snatched the stick and started beating other goons with it.

Gam Dil Ke Pak Chulbule Hain
Paani Ke Ye Bulbule Hain
Bujhte Hain Bante Rehte Hain
Dil Se Dil Se Dil Se Dil Se

Like this they kept fighting until all the goons got injured and ran away.

After the goons left, Sana left the stick and hugged Sid tightly. Sid gave a sigh of relief and hugged her back.

Dil Se Re
Dil Se Re Dil Se Re
Dil Se Re

Later That Day...

Sana rubbing ice on the injuries they got during the fight.

"Jab accident mein Aai ke dono paao chale gaye, main bilkool bebas hogaya tha. Jagah jagah madad maangi lekin sab hi ne muh mod liya. Raat ko bhukh ke maare rota tha. Phir ekdin Ranga Bhai se meri mulakat hui."

Sana stopped suddenly and asked, "Tera matlab Ranga Don?"

Sid nodded in yes and said, "Mumbai ka sabse bada Don. Unhone mere ko sahara diya. Badle mein main unke liye kaam karta tha, kuch chhoti moti information wagera deta tha. Meri Aai ko nahi paata tha ki main kaha se paise le kar aata tha. Phir jab woh chali gayi toh main puri tarah se gang mein shaamil hogaya. Ranga Bhai ka right-hand ban gaya. Unke dhande mein sirf loot paat hi nahi, drug dealings, logo ko maarna sab kuch hota hai. Kisi ka khoon karna unke liye koi badi baat nahi hai. Police bhi unka kuch nahi bigad paati. Koi shaabut ich nahi hai unke khilaf. Lekin kuch saalo se ek gang ne Boss ke naako par dam kar ke rakh diya tha. Woh tha tera gang."

"Itne bade Don ko humare chhote se gang se problem thi?" She asked with disbelief.

"Haan. Kuch saalo se unka saara consignment tum log le kar jaa rahe the. Boss ko yeh baat jam nahi rahi thi. Phir ek din unhe khabar mila ki Jagdish Seth India mein aa rahe hai, apni antique murthi ke exhibition ke liye. Foreign country ke saath unka contact hai isliye unhe pehle hi khabar mil gaya tha. Unko malum tha ki tum log uss Murthi ko churane ki koshish karoge. Isliye unhone mere ko bheja tere gang mein. Police mein jo tum logo ka informer hai unn se jhut bulwaya ki main do saal jail mein tha. Woh chahte the ki murthi main chura loon aur tum logo ko Police ko pakadwa doon. Lekin idhar sab kuch ulta ich hogaya. Hum murthi le kar jungle mein aa gaye aur......"

"Aur tere gang ne mere ko maarne ne ka order diya." Said Sana before he could complete.

Sid sighed.

"Phir mere ko bachaya kahe ko?" Asked Sana.

Sid smiled and said, "Tu jaan ban chuki hai meri. Tere ko nahi bachata?"

"Apne gang ke saath gaddari karega?"

"Mere ko uss se fark nahi padta. Sirf tere se fark padhta hai."

"Accha? Main chahu toh Mustafa Bhai ko sab kuch baata sakti hai. Phir woh khud tere ko khatam kar denge. Lekin main aisa nahi karegi kyu ki tune aaj meri jaan bachai hai. Isliye tujhe akhri mauka de rahi hai, bhag jaa yaaha se."

Said Sana keeping the bowl of ice on the floor.

"Main nahi jaa raha kahi. Tere ko jaana hai toh jaa." Said Sid being stubborn.

"Sid pagal mat ban woh Ranga Don maar daalega tere ko." Said Sana angrily.

"Maut se darr nahi lagta mere ko. Lekin ab agar jeena hai toh tere saath ich jeena hai." Said Sid smiling like a crazy lover.

"Thik hai. Marr tu idhar. Main murthi le kar jaa rahi hai."

Sana stood up and started leaving.

"Soch le Sana. Tu jis Mustafa Bhai ke liye yeh sab kar rahi hai, unke liye tere jaan ki koi keemat nahi hai, thik jaise Ranga Bhai ke liye mere jaan ki koi keemat nahi hai. Unhone hum ko sahara diya kyu ki hum unke kaam aa sakte the. Koi lagav nahi hai unko humse. Isliye mere ko abhi inn sab se bahar nikal ne ka hai. Nahi chahiye yeh khoon kharaba. Normal zindagi chahiye mere ko. Aur tere paas bhi do ich option hai. Ek tu Mustafa Bhai ke paas chali jaa Murthi le ke. Phir idhar mera kya hoga yeh uparwala jane. Aur dusra, mere saath chal Sana. Waada karta hoon saari zindagi tere ko itna pyaar karunga ki kabhi tere ko pyaar ki kami mehsoos nahi hogi. Ab faisla tere haathon mein hai." Said Sid.

Sana closed her eyes and tears rolled down her cheeks. Now she had to take the toughest decision of her life. Her mind was forcing her to leave but heart was telling her to stay with her love. She took a step ahead and the next moment took two steps back. She was grateful to Mustafa Bhai, she didn't want to betray the person who gave her shelter. But her love for Sid was way more than that. Now she couldn't imagine her life without him. Finally she gave up to her heart.

She turned and ran towards Sid. She hugged him tightly and whispered near his ears, "I love you!"

Sid smiled and hugged her back. Now he had no fear. He wanted to live with her and he would do everything for that. After breaking the hug they kissed each other's lips.
