"Bas. Aaj yaheen pe camp lagate hai. Baki ki trekking kaal karenge." Said their guide keeping his bag on the ground.

"Par kaal toh last day hai trip ka. Humein wapas laut na hai. Zyada time nahi rahega humare paas. Kyu na at least uss pahad ki choti tak chale?" Said Sid pointing his finger towards a peak.

"Suraj dhalne wala hai. Aur Suraj dhalne ke baad uss choti tak jaana thoda risky hai. Abhi jo karenge kaal subah hi karenge. Chalo apna apna camp laga lo."

Though the guide didn't give permission, Sid kept looking at the peak and decided to go there.

At Night...

Sid was climbing the peak. As the guide said, it was quite risky to climb the peak at night as the ground was fully covered with snow. But Sid didn't give up and continued walking. Suddenly he heard some sounds coming from the bushes and turned behind. His torchlight fell on the bushes but he couldn't see anything. He again turned around.

"Bhowwwww!" Said Sana suddenly coming in front of him making Sid scared.

Sid stepped back and kept his one hand on his heart. Sana started laughing seeing his face which was showing fear.

"Jhaariyon mein se awaz aaye toh mud ke nahi dekhte." She said.

Sid took few seconds to be stable and then asked, "Tu yaaha kya kar rahi hai?"

Sana smiled and replied, "Woh hi jo tu kar raha hai. Chal!"

She started walking while Sid kept looking at her for sometime and then started walking behind her.

After going to some distance, Sana stopped and turned behind. She saw Sid walking with difficulty. She understood that he was tired.

After Sid came to her, she asked, "Baith jaaye Sid?"

"Main... Thakta nahi hoon...Chal!" He said breathing heavily.

"Main thak gayi hoon." She said. "Ab baithe?"

Sid nodded his head. They both sat on the snow. Both were shivering in cold.

After sometime Sana asked, "Daru hai tere paas?"

"Kya?" Asked Sid with disbelief.

"Daru. Please yaar! Bohut thand hai."

Sid chuckled and said taking out a bottle from his bag. "Tu googly pe googly daale jaa rahi hai."

Sana took the bottle and said, "Kisi ko baata na mat."

Then she started drinking. She was loving it and couldn't stop drinking.

"Bas bas control." Said Sid taking back the bottle as she was drinking too much.

"Bohut accha hai. Kya hai yeh?" Asked Sana.

Sid took a sip and replied, "Lugdi. Chawal ko sara sara ke isse banaya jaata hai. Manali ke special items mein se ek hai yeh. Lugdi, seb, trout macchi aur gaanja."

Sana made a surprised face and said, "Tujhe inn sab ke baare mein bada knowledge hai!"

"Aur nahi toh kya? Main shakal se bhale hi duffer dikhta hoon par asal mein hoon nahi."

Saying that he took out a book from his bag and opened a page.

"Yeh article padh." Said Sid and Sana started reading it.

Then she turned the pages and saw some pics of different places of world.

"Venice! London!" She said while turning the pages.

"Yeh book kya hai Sid?" She asked at last.

"Mera sapna." He replied. "Main duniya ka har kona kona dekhna chahta hoon Sana."

"Puri zindagi lag jayegi yeh karte karte." Said Sana closing the book.

She gave it back to him and asked, "Baki sab kab karega?"

"Baki sab matlab?" Asked Sid. "22 tak padhai, 25 pe naukri, 26 pe chhokri. 30 pe bacche, 60 pe retirement aur phir..... maut ka intezaar. Dhatt! Aisi ghisi piti life thodi jeeni hai mujhe?"

Sana became confused hearing that and asked, "Toh phir tu life se kya chahta hai Sid?"

Sid kept smiling for sometime and then said, "Raftar! Pagalpan! Har ek din itna dhamakedar ho ki mujhe apne dil ki dhadkanein apne kaano tak sunayi de. Main udna chahta hoon, daudna chahta hoon, girna bhi chahta hoon, bas rukna nahi chahta. Jaise ki yeh pahad chadhna. Tere liye sayad yeh sirf trekking hai, lekin mere liye.....yeh nasha hai."

Sana kept staring at him being speechless. It was the first time she saw passion in his eyes, passion for his dreams. She never thought that the carefree guy of college could be so much passionate towards him dreams. Sana smiled seeing it.

"Zyada hogaya na?" Asked Sid standing up to which Sana nodded her head negatively.

"Kamal hai! Aisi baatein toh Pri aur Anki ke saath bhi nahi hoti. Main tujhe yeh sab kyu baata raha hoon?" He said being little surprised at himself.

"Mujhe kya paata?" Said Sana and stood up as well. "Pehle toh thik se baat tak nahi karta tha. Mujhe toh laga tha main tujhe pasand hi nahi hoon."

"Kisne kaha?" He came little closer and said looking at her intensely, "Tu mujhe bohut pasand hai Sana."

Sana's expression changed hearing that. She could again feel her heartbeat which increased because of him.

"Chalein?" He asked to which Sana nodded in yes.

They started walking together. Just before the sunrise, they reached at the peak. Seeing the sun rising, they smiled brightly.

They hold each other's hands tightly and started screaming loudly out of happiness.

Sana's POV...

Waha uss pahad ki hawayon mein ek nasha sa tha. Aur woh nasha ishq tha. Maine iss se pehle apni zindagi mein kabhi itni khushi mehsoos nahi kiyi thi. Pyaar hogaya tha mujhe. Main uss pahad ki choti se sabko cheekh cheekh ke apne dil ki baat baata na chahti thi. Lekin sab se zyada main usse baata na chahti thi. Uss din main Bhagwan se apne liye sirf ek hi dua maang rahi thi. Bohut hi simple, infact sirf ek word.....Sid.

Sana stopped screaming and looked at Sid with full of love.

That day, they returned from Manali. But the trip became memorable for Sana. It made her realise that she loved Sid. After coming back from the trip, their bond became much stronger. But still Sana could not tell Sid about her feelings. Like this her last year in that college passed. Now it was day of their farewell and Sana finally decided to tell Sid about her feelings before going back to Chandigarh.

At their college farewell, Sid was standing at the garden when he saw Sana entering. She was wearing a beautiful purple saree while her hair was tied into a bun. That day she was not wearing glasses because of which Sid noticed that she had beautiful eyes. He made a wow face seeing her. Soon Sana came to him.

"Abbe chasmish! Tujhe kya ho gaya?" He asked seeing her dress up.

"Kaun chasmish?" Asked Sana and they both chuckled together.

"But seriously, you are looking beautiful." Said Sid making Sana blush.

"Waise yeh credit meri stylish Pri ko jaata hai. Saree select karne se le kar make-up kaise karna hai, pura usne guide kiya hai."

"Iss se yaad aaya.... Teri Pri aur Anki se baat hui? Woh dono kahi dikh nahi rahe. Phone bhi nahi utha rahe. Kahi phir se jhagra toh nahi ho gaya?"

Saying that Sid again tried to call. But Sana's whole focus was on something else. She was thinking of confessing her love.

"Sid, mujhe tujhse kuch kehna hai." She said nervously.

"Haan bol." He replied without looking at her.

"Woh main yeh kehna chahti thi ki... Mujhe tujhse p......."

Before she could complete Sid said, "Woh rahe Pri aur Anki."

Saying that he went towards them and Sana also went to meet them. But they stopped hearing their conversation.

"Tu mere picche kyu aa raha hai? Jaa na uss kamini ke paas. Jaa ke uski baho mein lipat jaa. Mere paas mat aa please." Said Pri angrily

"Pri hum college mein aa chuke hai. At least yaaha scene create mat kar." Said Anki very calmly.

"Ohh! Main scene create kar rahi hoon? Aur jo scene tere room mein chal raha tha uska kya? Sach baata Anki. Tujhe zara sa bhi guilty feel nahi hua mujhe cheat karte waqt?"

"Oh God Pri! You again started. Kitni baar bolu main tujhe cheat nahi kar raha tha. Woh ladki girne wali thi, maine bas usse pakda tha. Aur tune uss chiz ko galat tarike se le liya."

"Sabse pehli baat toh woh tere room mein kar kya rahi thi?"

"She is my friend. Seher chhor ke jaa rahi hai isliye akhri baar milne aayi. Iss mein kya problem hai? Tu baat baat pe itna shak kyu karti hai? Tujhe bharosa nahi hai mujh pe?"

"Aaj jo maine dekha uske baad toh bilkool bhi nahi." Said Pri making Anki hurt.

As the situation was getting out of control, Sid and Sana came to handle them.

"Guys! Kya kar rahe ho tum dono? Sab dekh rahe hai. Please stop this fight!" Said Sid.

Sana kept her hand on Pri's shoulder and said, "Aur Pri tu thande dimaag se soch. Hum sab jaante hai ki Anki tujhse kitna pyaar karta hai. Woh tujhe dhoka nahi de sakta. At least listen to him."

Pri removed Sana's hand angrily and said, "Yeh mera aur Anki ka matter hai. Tu bich mein mat aa Sana."

"Yeah guys. Let us clear this." Said Anki. "Pri tu kya chahti hai? If you want us to break-up then I don't have any problem."

Sid and Sana became shocked hearing that.

"Break-up?" Asked Pri with disbelief.

"Yeah kyu ki tera yeh over possessive nature mujhse aur handle nahi ho raha. Ek relationship mein aisa toh nahi hota. Kabhi iss se baat mat karo toh kabhi uss se baat mat karo. Main tang aa chuka hoon iss chiz se. Ghutan hone lagi hai mujhe iss relationship mein. Main nahi reh sakta tere saath aur." Said Anki without thinking anything else.

"Anki tujhe paata hai tu kya bol raha hai? Bro you gonna regret it...."

Pri stopped Sid showing her hand and said with teary eyes, "Nahi Sid isse bolne de. Akhir mujhe bhi toh paata chale ki iske andar aur kya kya bhara hua hai."

Anki sighed and said, "Pri I never wanted to tell you this but.... Mujhse aur nahi ho raha. Main tere saath reh ke apna freedom sacrifice nahi kar sakta. Aur adjust nahi kar sakta. Before things take a dirty turn, let's end this."

Pri kept looking at Anki for sometime. It was being hard for them to control their emotions. After sometime she said, "Fine. Azad kar diya tujhe iss relationship se. Aaj se tere raaste alag aur mere raaste alag."

"Pri no. Don't do this." Said Sana.

"Anki please yaar. Aise sab kuch khatam nahi hota." Said Sid.

They both tried to make Pri and Anki understand but they didn't listen anything and parted their ways.
