Sid and Sana started roaming in the college together.

While walking Sid said, "Toh yeh hai humara City College. Yaaha pe three types ke students padhte hai. Ek jinhe studies mein interest hai, dusre jinhe studies mein bilkool interest nahi hai aur teesre jinhe studies ke alawa baki saari chizo mein interest hai. Tum kaunse type ki ho Ms. Shehnaaz Gill?.... I think Sana sounds better."

"Main pehle type ki hoon I guess." Replied Sana. "Aur tum?"

"Dekh ke paata nahi chalta kya?" Saying that Sid winked and continued walking while Sana laughed a little.

They came to the canteen and Sid said, "Yeh hai humara canteen jaha tumhe duniya ka sabse bakwas khana milega. Par friends ke saath chatting karte hue khaate waqt woh hi bakwas khana duniya ka sabse tasty khana lagega."

Sana smiled hearing that.

Then they went to the library.

"Yeh hai humari library. Kitabon ka dher milega tumhe yaaha. Yaaha free time mein tum jaise students aksar aate hai aur mere jaise students yaaha pe kadam tak nahi rakhte."

Sid paused seeing that Sana was checking a book. He rolled his eyes and went to her.

He snatched the book from her hand and kept it at its place.

"Yaaha pe zyada time waste nahi karna hai humein. Chalo."

Saying that Sid hold Sana's hand and dragged her with him.

They went to an empty classroom and Sid said, "Toh yeh hai apna classroom. Yaaha padhai, masti, drama sab kuch ek saath hota hai."

Then they went to the chemistry lab and Sid said, "Yeh jagah science students ke liye hai. Yaaha chhote mote dhama ke toh hote rehte hai. Thodi khatarnak hai yeh jagah."

They came to the professor's cabin and Sid said, "Yeh raha humare buddhe, khadoos professors ka adda. Woh dekho ek Buddha abhi bhi idhar hai."

Sana noticed a professor.

"Ayee buddhe!" Called Sid to which Sana widened her eyes.

"Kaun hai?"

Before the professor could notice, Sid left from there with Sana.

Then they both came to the garden.

"Yeh hai humara garden. Yeh jagah khas kar ke lovey dovey couples ke liye hai. Khule asmaan ke neeche, phoolon ke bich, bench pe baith ke romance karne ka inka alag hi maza hai. Woh dekho, ek couple baithe hai waha."

Sid pointed towards a couple.

"How cute." Said Sana smiling while Sid said, "Bechare!"

Sana eyed him.

"Arrey ghoor kya rahi hai? Aage jaa ke jab break-up hoga tab yeh hi word niklega sab ke muh se."

Sana nodded her head in disbelief hearing that.

They again started walking.

"Toh kaisa laga tujhe humara college?" Asked Sid.

"Accha toh pehle se hi tha. Par tumhare description ne isse aur bhi zyada shandaar bana diya." Replied Sana smiling.

"Aur main kaisa laga?" He asked further.

"Tum...."

Sana didn't understand what to say. And before she could reply, a girl bumped with Sid.

"Ouch! So sorry! Tumhe kahi lagi toh nahi?" Asked the girl dramatically.

Sana frowned hearing her tone of speaking.

"Lagi toh hai. Par dil mein." Said Sid pointing towards his heart. "Kaal tum college nahi aayi na Nikki. Tumhare bina kuch accha hi nahi lag raha tha."

"Hainn? Toh phir thik hai, aaj classes ke baad main sirf tumhare saath time spend karungi."

"Classes ke baad kyu sweetheart? Abhi bhi toh thoda time hai apne paas."

"Then.... Waheen pe chale jaha hum har roz jaate hai?"

"Why not? Tum jaao, main do minute mein aaya."

Nikki was going to leave but stopped noticing Sana.

"Who is she?" She asked Sid pointing towards Sana.

"She is Sana. College mein nayi hai. Final year student." Replied Sid.

"Hi!" Said Sana giving a slight smile.

Nikki rolled her eyes and left from there.

"Yeh sab kya hua?" Asked Sana making a confused face. "Tumhari girlfriend toh woh thi na jiske saath tum uss waqt baat kar rahe the?"

"Tumhe aisa kyu laga ki woh meri girlfriend hai?" Asked Sid.

"Tum dono itne close the.... Mujhe toh yeh hi laga."

Sid laughed and said, "Madam uss hisaab se toh iss college ki adhi se zyada ladkiya meri girlfriend honi chahiye."

Sana didn't say anything.

"Tu abhi class mein jaa. Tera college ka tour yaheen pe khatam hota hai." He said further.

"Time bhi ho raha hai." Said Sana looking at her watch. "Tum nahi chaloge?"

"Suna nahi? Main abhi kuch der ke liye busy rehne wala hoon. Class mein milta hoon."

Saying that Sid left from there.

"Weird guy!" Thought Sana and made a face.

Then Sana went to the classroom and took her seat. Soon the first lecture started.

After the lecture was almost over, Sid entered the class.

"Aaiye janab! Aap hi ka toh intezar tha. Lecture khatam hone ke thik 10 minute pehle aap aaye. Main toh dhanya ho gaya." Said the professor taunting Sid.

"Thank you Sir. It's my honour." Said Sid bowing his head.

"Shut up! Nonsense!" Shouted the professor. "Itne bade ho gaye phir bhi time ka kadar karna nahi sikha. Tumhari umar mein main har chiz time pe karta tha."

Sid laughed and said, "Kya fayda Sir? Sab kuch time pe karte karte hi aap ka time nikal gaya. Itni zaldi buddhe ho gaye. Sar pe baal tak nahi bache. Mujhe aap ke nakshe kadam pe chal ke aap ki tarah kam umar mein Buddha thodi hona hai? Main toh aise hi thik hoon."

The whole class started laughing hearing his words while Sana widened her eyes seeing his courage. She could never even think of doing something like this.

"Silence!" Said the professor and the class stopped laughing.

"Get out! I said get out!" Shouted the professor looking at Sid.

Sid waved bye to Pri and Anki and left from there.

At the lunch break...

Sana was sitting alone at a table silently. She looked at others who were having fun with their friends. Nobody was even noticing her. Being introvert, she couldn't go and talk to them. So she was feeling very lonely.

Here Sid, Pri and Anki came to the canteen and sat at their table. Suddenly Pri noticed that Sana was sitting alone sadly.

"Sana!" She called her and she looked at her.

"Waha akele kya kar rahi hai? Idhar aa. Humare saath baith."

"Yeh phir se uss chasmish ko kyu bula rahi hai?" Asked Anki in a low voice.

"Paata nahi. Apna fun time spoil karna chahti hai." Whispered Sid.

Gladly Pri didn't hear them.

"Nahi main idhar hi thik hoon." Replied Sana.

"Arrey aa naa." Said Pri.

Sana smiled and went towards them. The chair beside Sid was empty as Pri and Anki were sitting together. So she sat there.

Sid then gave the order.

"Itna saara khana kyu order kar raha hai? Mere paas zyada paise nahi hai pehle hi baata raha hoon." Said Anki.

"Why fear when Sid is here?" Said Sid lifting up his collar. "Aaj sab ko meri taraf se treat. Jitna marzi order karo, bill main pay karunga."

"Aaj bhi? Kaal bhi tune sab ka bill pay kiya tha aur uske pehle din bhi. Sid, humare liye itna kharcha mat kar." Said Pri.

"Saalo dost ho tum dono mere. Tumhare liye kharcha nahi karunga toh aur kiske liye karunga?" Said Sid.

Sana smiled hearing that. She liked how he cared for his friends.

"Aur paiso ka kya hai? Haathon ka mail hota hai paisa. Isko bachate nahi, udaate hai." He said further.

"Kaash yeh mail har kisi ke naseeb mein hota." Said Anki and three of them laughed.

Sana was also laughing silently but they were not noticing her.

"Waise Sid, tu aaj raat mere ghar mein aa raha hai na sleepover ke liye?" Asked Anki suddenly.

"Aaj raat nahi ho paayega. Uss ladki ke saath plans hai." Replied Sid.

"Kaunsi ladki?" Asked Pri. "Woh chuhiya.... I mean Nikki?"

Sid nodded in no and said, "Arrey nahi. Woh ladki jiske saath subah baat kar raha tha. Naam kya tha.... Tanya, Manya.... Aisa kuch tha."

"Tujhe uska naam tak yaad nahi?" Asked Pri with disbelief.

"Ab itni ladkiyon ko main jaanta hoon. Sab ke naam thodi yaad rahenge?.... Woh chhor. Kuch aur baat karte hai."

Soon they started talking about different topics and Sana felt left out. She tried to join the conversation but couldn't.

After sometime Pri said, "Sana tu kyu itni chup chap baithi hai? Tu bhi kuch bol."

"You guys carry on. Waise bhi tum log jo baatein kar rahe ho mujhe uss baare mein zyada kuch nahi paata." Replied Sana sadly.

"Toh phir tujhe kis topic pe baat karni hai?" Asked Sid. "Hum sab uss hi topic pe baat karenge. Kyu guys?"

Pri and Anki nodded.

"Baata." Said Sid looking at Sana.

"Kya?" She asked.

"Koi bhi topic."

Sana started thinking. After sometime she said, "Studies ke baare mein baat karte hai. Aaj ka lecture jis topic pe tha."

Three of them started laughing making Sana confused.

"Kya hogaya?" She asked.

"Sana please! Buddhe ka lecture khatam ho chuka hai. Humein phir se woh lecture nahi sun na." Said Sid controlling his laugh.

Sana made a sad face.

"Sana ek kaam kar, tu humein apne baare mein kuch baata." Said Pri trying to cheer her up.

"Yeah it will be interesting." Said Anki.

"Mere baare mein...." Sana paused for a while and said, "Okay. So I belong from Chandigarh. Main waha apne parents ke saath rehti thi. School aur phir graduation ke pehle do saal maine wahi se kiya hai."

"Toh phir final year karne Mumbai kyu aayi?" Asked Pri.

"Actually mera dream tha Mumbai aana. Mummy Papa ko kaha tha ki main yaaha apna graduation complete karna chahti hoon par woh nahi maane. Maine bhi unse zyada kuch nahi kaha. Do saal beet gaye. Yeh final year tha aur mujhe ek baar toh Mumbai aana hi tha. Isliye maine admission le liya yaaha aur bina kuch baataye ghar se bhag aayi."

"Ghar se bhag aayi?" Freaked out Anki.

"Kamal hai yaar! Tujhe dekh kar lagta nahi tu aisa bhi kuch kar sakti hai." Said Sid being quite impressed.

"Waise mujhe paata nahi maine sahi kiya yaa galat. Par uss waqt jo thik laga woh kiya. Mummy Papa abhi gussa hai par hopefully zaldi maan jaayenge.... Toh bas yeh hi hai meri story." Said Sana.

"Aur kuch?" Asked Pri.

"Aur kya?"

"Waha Chandigarh mein koi boyfriend toh hoga hi tera jisko tu chhor ke aayi hai." Said Sid.

"Boyfriend?" Asked Sana being surprised.

"Pehli baar sun rahi hai kya yeh term?" Asked Anki.

"Aisa nahi hai.... Actually boyfriend bana ne ke baare mein kabhi socha nahi. Abhi toh sirf career pe hi dhyan hai. Jab shaadi ka time aayega tab sochungi." Said Sana.

Sid, who was drinking water, suddenly started coughing.

"Kya hua?" Asked Sana seeing his reaction. "Maine kuch galat bol diya?"

"Galat nahi bola. Bas aage se iske saamne shaadi ki baat bilkool mat karna. Sid ko shaadi se allergy hai." Said Pri.

Sana looked at Sid and asked, "Seriously?"

Sid stopped coughing and said, "Sana, inko chhor, tu mujhe ek baat baata. Agar main tere ko roz ek type ka khana.... Suppose dal chawal.... Agar main tere ko roz dal chawal khilau toh chalega kya?"

"Maybe no." Replied Sana after thinking.

"Dekha? Bhala koi bhi insaan apni puri life dal chawal pe kaise guzaar sakta hai? Life mein thode keema paav, tangdi kebab, hakka noodles bhi toh hone chahiye?"

Pri and Anki nodded in agreement while Sana didn't find any reply and kept looking at him with surprise. She never met a person who had this kind of thinking.

"So basically shaadi is dal chawal for 50 saal till you die. Isse 5-6 baar karne se accha hai humesha single hi raho." Said Sid further.

"5-6 baar?" Asked Sana with wide eyes.

"Kyu? Kam bol diya kya?" Asked Sid and the trio started laughing.

Sana thought for a while and then asked, "Aur agar bacche chahiye toh?"

Sid's expression changed hearing that. He leaned towards Sana and said, "Uske liye shaadi ki kya zaroorat hai? Woh toh hum abhi bhi kar sakte hai. Chal kone mein."

"Excuse me!" Said Sana sternly and stood up. Being annoyed she started leaving from there.

"Arrey kitne bacche chahiye yeh toh baata. Mujhe twins bhi bana ne aate hai." Said Sid loudly but she didn't listen and left.

Pri hit Sid's stomach with her elbow and said, "Faltu mein embarrass kar diya usse."

"Arrey jaan bujh ke kiya taa ki bhag jaaye. Bohut paka rahi thi. Aur Pri, tu iss chasmish ko har waqt humare bich mat bulaya kar. Such a bore she is!" Said Sid.

"Yaar aise mat bol. Mujhe acchi lagti hai Sana." Said Pri.

"Toh phir shaadi hi kar le uss se." Said Anki.

Pri glared him and gave a punch on his shoulder.

"Tu toh gayi." Said Anki and started pulling her hair.

"Chhor kutte!"

Pri was trying to free herself when Anki indicated Sid to hold her legs.

Sid hold her legs and both the boys started tickling Pri while the trio laughed loudly and had a lot of fun.

Here Sana came out of the canteen and thought, "Kitna ajeeb ladka hai! Meri inn logo ke saath kabhi nahi jam sakti. No way!"
