Sid was standing near his window and looking at the moon. A lone tear escaped his eyes remembering how Sana talked to him at the cafe. She questioned his rights on her because of some other guy? From when people started entering between them?

Suddenly Trisha came there and said, "Bhai!"

Sidharth looked at her.

"Parminder Aunty ka call aaya tha. Sana ka rishta pakka hogaya hai. Sab kuch thik raha toh do mahine ke andar shaadi bhi ho jayegi. Aur shaadi ke baad Sana aur uske fiance dono London settle ho jaayenge."

Something broke inside Sid hearing that.

"London? Itni dur?" Asked Sid with disbelief.

"Haan Bhai. You know, I'm very happy for her but.... Yeh accept nahi kar paa rahi ki woh hum sab ko chhor ke itni dur chali jayegi. Bachpan se itni acchi dost rahi hai woh meri, aur aap ki bhi. Hum uske bina kaise rahenge?" Said Trisha sadly.

Sid didn't reply and again looked at the moon. He remembered once Sana said to him:

"Sid, main na iss moon ki tarah hoon. Humesha tere saath rahungi. Tujhse dur kabhi nahi jaaungi."

He closed his eyes and fisted his palm to control his emotions.

"Meri Sana kahi nahi jaayegi. Main bhi dekhta hoon woh Harry kaise Sana ko mujhse cheen ke le jaata hai." Thought Sid.

Next Day...

Sid went to Sana's house as usual to pick her up for office. But as soon as he reached there, he got angry seeing Harry alredy present there with a flowers in his hand. He was talking to Parminder Ji standing at the gate.

Sid came there while his eyes were fixed at Harry.

"Arrey Sidharth Beta!" Said Parminder Ji looking at him.

"Hello Aunty!" He said.

Harry kept looking at him for a while and then said, "Waiter!"

"Beta yeh waiter nahi hai. Sana ke office mein kaam karta hai. Humare pados mein hi rehta hai." Said Parminder Ji.

"Ohh I see. Looks like my money got wasted." Said Harry.

"Aunty Sana kaha hai?" Asked Sid ignoring Harry.

"Woh ready ho rahi hai. Waise aaj tujhe usko office drop karne ki koi zaroorat nahi hai. Ab Harry aa gaya na, woh hi usse pick up karega aur drop bhi karega. Iss hi bahane dono saath mein quality time bhi spend kar lenge, kyu?"

"Of course. And I love spending time with her." Said Harry blushing a little.

Sid made an angry face looking at Harry. He felt like punching him.

"Sidharth aaj se teri chhutti." Said Parminder Ji further making Sid sad.

"Why Chhutti? Dono roz saath mein office jaate the kya?" Asked Harry.

"Haan asal mein Sidharth ke saath jaati thi toh humari chinta thodi dur hoti thi. Akhir Sidharth uske Bhai jaisa hai." Said Parminder Ji so that Harry didn't misunderstand anything.

"BHAI???" Sid freaked out. "Aunty aap kya bol rahi hai? Main Sana ka Bhai nahi hoon."

He looked at Harry and said, "Listen main uska dost......"

"Haan haan dost." Said Parminder Ji interrupting. "Mera Beta Raj hai na? Sidharth uska dost hai. Aur Bhai ka dost Bhai jaisa hi hua."

Sid was going to say something when Sana came there.

"Mummy I'm ready...." She suddenly stopped seeing Sid there. They both passed each other smile which were not genuine. They both were forcing themselves to smile.

"This is for you." Said Harry holding the flowers in front of Sana. But before she could take it, Sid came in between and took the flowers.

Parminder Ji frowned seeing it.

"Woh kya hai na.... Flowers akhir kar vase mein hi acche lagte hai. Toh main hi rakh deta hoon inhe vase mein."

Saying that he removed the old flowers from the vase and put the flowers in it which Harry brought. Everyone made a confused face.

"Darling let's go. We are getting late." Said Harry after sometime forwarding his hand towards Sana.

"Darling kisko bola?" Shouted Sid making Harry scared.

"Sana ko..... She is my fiancee now. Nahi bol sakta kya?" Said Harry.

"Oh yeah.... I forgot." Said Sid somehow controlling himself.

"Chaliye Harry Ji." Said Sana and started walking. Harry also went behind her.

"Beta tu fiance hi reh jayega. Tere ko husband main kabhi nahi ban ne dunga dekh lena." Said Sid in his mind.

"Mere khayal se ab tujhe bhi jaana chahiye." Said Parminder Ji to Sid after Sana and Harry left.

"Filhaal jaa raha hoon. Lekin main aata rahunga. Akhir mera hi ghar hai yeh." Said Sid with a fake smile and left from there.

Parminder Ji hold her head making a worried face.

At Night...

Sid and Raj met at a place.

"Baata. Kya serious baat karni thi tujhe?" Asked Raj coming there.

"Ek kaam hai. Jo sirf hum dono yaar mil ke hi sakte hai." Said Sid in a serious tone.

"Kuch khurafati chal raha hai kya tere dimaag mein? Like old days? Just tell me, I'm getting very excited. Bohut dino se koi kaand nahi kiya hum dono ne mil ke."

"Shaadi tod ni hai."

"Kiski?"

"Teri Behen ki."

Raj's expression changed hearing that.

"Tera dimag kharab ho gaya hai kya? Main apni hi behen ki shaadi todunga?" He asked.

"Haan todega. At least shaadi tod ne mein meri help karega. Main kisi bhi haal mein Sana ki shaadi uss firangi se nahi hone dunga."

"Yaar tu kya bol raha hai? Harry is a nice guy....."

"Ghanta nice guy! Mujhe toh kisi bhi angle se woh chomu Sana ke layak nahi lagta. Upar se shaadi ke baad Sana ko London le jaa raha hai apne saath. Main likh ke deta hoon, shaadi ke baad saal mein ek baar bhi woh Sana ko ghar aane nahi dega. Uske jaise sophisticated admi ko apna yeh chillar place jamta nahi hai. Samjha?"

Harry thought for a while and said, "Baat toh teri sahi hai but...."

"Kya but? Accha tu reh lega apni Behen ko saal mein ek baar bhi dekhe bina? Bhai main toh nahi reh paaunga."

"Yaar main bhi nahi reh paaunga. Agar woh chali gayi toh hum saath mein rakshabandhan bhi celebrate nahi kar paayenge." Said Raj making a sad face.

"Isliye toh main bol raha hoon. Dekh, Mumbai ke saare ladke marr nahi gaye hai. Sana ko koi bhi ladka easily mil jayega. Filhaal hum iss firangi ko bhagate hai aur yeh shaadi cancel karwate hai."

"Lekin hum karenge kya?" Asked Raj.

"Simple hai. Hum gharwalon aur Sana ke saamne prove kar denge ki Harry Sana ke liye sahi ladka nahi hai. Dono ek dusre ke saath bilkool adjust nahi kar paayenge. Aur Harry ko bhi aise situations mein daalenge jis se woh khud hi bhag jayega. Uske baad shaadi apne aap cancel." Replied Sid.

"Tere paas plan hai kuch?"

"Plan toh bohut saare hai." Said Sid giving an evil smirk.

After few days...

Harry and his family were again invited in Sana's house as they would match the horoscopes and then fixed the date of marriage and other functions.

Raj told Sid about this and he got a chance to execute his plan.

Later, Sid came to the house.

"Sidharth kuch chahiye tha tujhe?" Asked Parminder Ji seeing him.

"Haan woh aaj yaaha lunch karne ka bada mann kar raha hai. Can I join you guys?" Asked Sid smiling.

"Lekin aaj toh...."

"Mujhe paata tha aap mujhe maana nahi karogi." Said Sid and entered. Parminder Ji had nothing to say.

Sid went and stood beside Raj. He was looking at Harry and Sana who were sitting together and burning in jealousy. Sana looked at him for once and then took off her eyes so that he couldn't find out the pain she was hiding.

"Mubark ho! Chattis ke chattis gun milte hai." Screamed the Pandit ji making everyone happy except Sid, Sana and Raj.

"Aaya Bada!" Murmured Sid angrily.

At the lunch time, they all sat together to have lunch.

"Harry Puttar, iss baar tumhare liye alag se khana banaya hai maine. Oil free aur bohut hi kam spicy." Said Parminder Ji while serving Harry.

"Thank you Aunty." Replied Harry.

Parminder Ji was also forcing Sana to eat that food but she didn't saying that she would have the normal food.

"Ab suru hoga asli khel. Tu dekhta jaa Bhai." Whispered Raj.

"Woh hi dekhne toh aaya hoon." Whispered Sid.

As soon as Harry took a bite, he started coughing. Everyone looked at him being confused.

"It's too spicy. I can't eat this." He said and started taking breath using mouth.

"Beta kaha spicy hai? Hum bhi toh khaa rahe hai. Tera khana toh iss se bhi kam spicy hai." Said Harry's father.

Parminder Ji smiled nervously and said, "Lagta hai Harry ko thoda sa bhi spicy khane ki adat nahi hai. Beta agli baar tumhare khane mein itta sa bhi mirch nahi daalungi. Abhi thoda sa seh lo."

"I can't." He said and started drinking water.

Parminder Ji made a sad face and went to serve Sid.

"Kaisa damad hai aap ka? Aap ne itne mehnat se iske liye khana banaya aur isne zara sa bhi appreciate nahi kiya aap ko? Very bad! Iske khane ka taste toh bohut hi different hai. Paata nahi shaadi ke baad Sana kaise adjust karegi. Tch tch tch!" Said Sid in a low voice.

"Tu uski fikar mat kar." Said Parminder Ji in a low but stern voice.

Sana suddenly stood up and went to the kitchen. She came with a bowl of desert and made Harry eat a spoon of it.

"Accha lag raha hai?" Asked Sana.

Harry smiled and nodded in yes.

Sid clenched his jaw seeing them so close. He hold the chair angrily to control his anger. Suddenly they all heard a sound of breaking something.

Sid also realised something and stood up. The chair on which he was sitting, had broken.

"Yeh kursi kaise tuti?" Asked Santokh Ji.

"Paata nahi Uncle." Replied Sid while looking at Sana.

Like this Sid's plan backfired that day but Sana's wedding date got fixed.

One day, they all went for marriage shopping and hearing that Sid also joined them without any invitation. They all were busy in shopping when Sid and Raj took Harry to the men's section.

"Chaliye Dulhe Raja, aaj hum aap ko aap ke engagement ke liye sabse badhiya outfit select kar ke dete hai." Said Sid with a fake smile.

"Actually I don't have much knowledge of traditional outfit. Is it okay if I wear suit?" Asked Harry.

"No, not okay. You should wear what your fiancee likes." Said Sid.

"Aur main aap ko baata ta hoon meri Behen ko aap kaunse outfit mein acche lagenge." Said Raj and started looking for his outfit.

After sometime he came back with a joker costume.

Harry widened his eyes seeing the costume.

"I have to wear this?" He asked.

"Yeah. Then your fiancee will be impressed." Said Sid.

"Lekin yeh costume toh jokers pehente hai. I'll look like a clown if I wear this."

"No my brother. London mein sayad jokers yeh sab pehen te hai. But India mein yeh hi aaj kaal trending hai. And Sana ko yeh outfit pehen ne wale ladke bade acche lagte hai. Aap ek baar pehen ke aaiye. Dekhna Sana bilkool fida ho jayegi."

Harry became happy hearing the last line.

"Ok if you insist." Said Harry and went to change.

After he left, Sid and Raj gave high five.

After a while...

Sid and Raj joined others.

"Aap logo ki shopping hogayi?" Asked Raj.

"Haan almost. Lekin Harry kidhar hai? Tumhare saath hi tha na woh?" Asked Parminder Ji.

"Aunty woh change karne gaya hai. Aata hi hoga." Said Sid.

Suddenly Harry came there wearing his joker costume.

(Ignore the face)

Everyone widened their eyes seeing Harry in that costume.

"How am I looking?" He asked excitedly.

Everyone started laughing silently seeing him. Even Harry's parents were laughing silently. While Sid became happy as Sana was also trying to control her laugh. Harry made a confused face looking at all of them.

At that very moment, Raj's phone started ringing.

Saari umar main joker
jeha banya reha
Tere piche eh zindgi
circus ho gayi 

"What a perfect timing!" Thought Sid hearing Raj's ringtone.

"Ek important call hai. Baat karke aaya." Saying that Raj left from there.

Now everyone stopped laughing except Sid. Harry's parents felt embarassed. Sana also felt bad for him.

Sid stood behind Parminder Ji and said, "Aap ke hone wale damad ki toh fashion sense bhi nahi hai. Bechari Sana aur uski futi kismat."

Parminder Ji didn't protest this time as the guy was really weird.

Suddenly Sana went to Harry and said, "Harry Ji yeh outfit engagement ke liye sahi nahi hai. Aap mere saath men's section mein chaliye main aap ko help karti hoon sahi outfit select karne mein."

Harry nodded and they went together making Sid sad again.

Later that day, they completed their shopping and entered a restaurant. There Sid gave money to a waiter and instructed him to do something. Then he sat with others.

The waiter came to serve their orders. As Sid said, he intentionally made the soup fall on Harry's shirt.

"What the hell!" Yelled Harry standing up.

"I'm extremely sorry Sir." Said the waiter.

"Sorry my foot! You know yeh shirt London ke best brand ka hai. I have given 200 dollars for this shirt." He said angrily. The waiter made a scared face.

"Dekhiye Aunty. Apka hone wala damad kitna badtameez hai. Shaadi ke baad Sana ke saath bhi aisa behave karega kya? Aur aise hi paison ka show off karega?" Said Sid to Parminder Ji. She also got scared thinking about Sana's future.

"Main toh kehta hoon abhi bhi der nahi hui hai. Yeh shaadi tod di......."

Sid stopped saying when Sana went to Harry holding a tissue.

"Harry Ji shaant ho jaiye. Uss bechare ki galti nahi hai. Aaiye main saaf kar deti hoon." She said.

Harry turned to her and Sana started wiping his shirt with the tissue. Harry kept admiring her. Others smiled seeing their bond.

Meanwhile Sid became totally red in anger and started cursing his own fate.

Like this, Sid's no plan worked and Sana's engagement day came near. Though Parminder Ji was not sure if Harry was the right guy for Sana or not because of the recent incidents. But she didn't call off the wedding because of Harry's status. She thought Sana would live happily with him. Santokh Ji was also not sure but he couldn't go against his wife and he also thought that Sana was happy with this marriage.

It was the night before Sana's engagement. Sid was talking to Raj on phone.

"Yaar kaal toh engagement hai. Kuch plan banaya hai tune?" Asked Raj.

"Kya plan banau? Har ek plan backfire kar raha hai. Sana aur Harry ka rishta tod na chahte the hum. Lekin humari inn bekar plans ki wajah se woh dono aur close aate jaa rahe hai. Ab inn sab se nahi hoga. Yeh saala Harry asani se jaayega nahi aur naa hi teri Mummy shaadi cancel karengi. Humein kuch bada karna hoga." Said Sid.

"Kya karenge?" Asked Harry.

"Aisa kuch jis se shaadi uss hi moment cancel ho jaaye. Tu dhyan se sun......"

Sid started telling Raj about his plan.
