Aliyah jaldi aao CCD mujhe baat karni hai tumse.
*******

At CCD

Aliyah: Hi baby...

Sia: Hum wait kar rahe the tumhara.

Aliyah: I am worth waiting for... Isn't it?

She let out a chuckle which Sia returned.

Aliyah: So ab kya hua?

Sia: Saloni.... Saloni and Raghav are together.

Aliyah: Saloni the Queen Bee!!!???

Sia: Haan.

Aliyah: Tere jaane ke baad Raghav ki choice kitni kharab ho gayi hai.... Arry agar Saloni last person on Earth ho to bhi usko koi choose na kare...

Sia let out a loud sigh and Aliyah continued, " Tujhe yaad hai jab humlog Aashiqui 2 dekhne gaye the... The 4 + 1 group."

Sia: Haan use kaise bhool sakte hain hum.

*Flashback*

Raghav came to Sia's home and as always hugged her mother. Sia smiled because he was literally the favorite of her mother.

They were sitting in her room when he asked her if she will go to watch Aashiqui 2 with the group.

Sia: Nahin yaar... I don't like emotional movies.. Can't handle them.

Raghav: Please na...

Sia: Ek baar kaha na... Nahin jaenge hum.

Raghav: Nahin jaogi pakka??

Sia: Pakka...

Raghav: Ok remember, you asked for it...

Before Sia could understand he sprung from his chair and placed his hand under her knees and scooped her up from her bed in bridal style.

Sia: Raghav... Kya kar rahe ho? Gir jaenge hum... Utaro humko.

Raghav: Ruko sochne do.... Umm.. ok no!!!!

Sia: Raghav, koi dekh lega.

Raghav: Dekh lene do... Mujhe koi problem nahin hai.

Sia: Arry, par humein to hai... Raghav please.

Raghav: Pehle bolo ki movie dekhne chalogi.

Sia: Mummy nahin manegi.

Raghav: Vo mera kaam hai... Tum haan bolo bas.

Sia: Accha thik hai. Chalenge hum.... ab to utaro humko.

He gently made her sit on the bed and went outside talking to her mother. Sia didn't heard a word of their conversation but when Raghav came in with a huge grin she understood the result.

Ok now what shall I wear?

Next day Sia got ready at 4 p.m. sharp and all three came in Arjun's car to pick her up. Aliyah was looking a little grumpy and Sia couldn't understand the reason but she did once she opened the back door.

Wait.. there is someone else too.

Aliyah came to her.

Aliyah: Saloni is tagging along with us.

Sia: Who invited her?

Aliyah: She practically forced my dumbo boyfriend for that.

Sia gave a side eye to Arjun who just smiled sheepishly.

Sia had to sit with Saloni and Raghav. Two persons she can't tolerate at the same time and place. Moreover she hated the way Saloni was clinging to Raghav.

Sia: Arjun, tumhe bhi garmi lag rahi hai kya?

Arjun: It's November, Sia.

Sia: I know... par kya hai na... Hamare bagal me heater chal raha hai.. to..

Arjun let out a chuckle before placing a closed fist on his mouth to stop himself and Aliyah bit her lip to try not to laugh.

Raghav took the hint and shifted away from Saloni who in turn was glaring at Sia.

In the hall Raghav sat next to Sia and Saloni sat next to him. Aliyah and Arjun sat together.

The hall became solemn when the emotional scene started. Sobs could be heard here and there.

Suddenly Sia heard a loud commotion from besides her. She turned and saw that Saloni had pulled Raghav towards herself and was crying on his shoulder. Raghav was rubbing her back.

This made Sia very angry and she wasn't able to enjoy the rest of the movie.

They came out as soon as the movie ended.

Arjun: Sia, come I will drop you.

Sia: No thanks Arjun. Vaise bhi Raghav and Saloni ko poori back seat ki jarurat padegi.

She left with this leaving a confused Raghav.

Next day at school,

Sia was sitting with the group when Raghav entered in his swag.

Arjun: Raghav, shirt sookh gayi teri?

Raghav: Shirt.... vo bheegi kab thi meri?

Arjun: Tabhi jab Saloni ro rahi thi tumhare kandhe par...

All let out a laugh including Raghav who blushed but Sia's face hardened. She got up and left from there.

Raghav noticed her off behavior and ran behind her calling out to her but she didn't stop. He held her hand and halted her.

Raghav: Kya kar dia maine Sia?

Sia: Arry tum jao tumko Saloni bula rahi hogi... Jao aansoo pocho uske. Ro rahi hogi kahin...

Raghav: Bas itni si baat par naraaz ho?

Sia: Ye itni si baat hai?

She yanked his hand away and left the ground.

Raghav stood there with his hands in his hair looking clearly tensed. Aliyah approached him.

Aliyah: Sia ko Shahrukh Khan pasand hai bahut. And samajhdaar ko ishaara kafi hai.

She smiled and left Raghav planning on how to say sorry to Sia.

(See the video to know how he said that.)

*Present*

Aliyah: Yaar, kya dance kia tha usne!!!

Sia: Haan yaar best memory my life.

Aliyah: Haan tu kya bata rahi thi Saloni ke baare me?

Sia: She is Raghav's girlfriend... soon to be engaged... Out of 7 billion people he chose her. But jo kuch bhi hua tha vo in dono ka relationship me hona justify karta hai....

Aliyah: Tune aajtak bataya nahin ki tum dono ka break up kyun hua?

Sia: I don't want to talk about that. It's just humko nahin pata tha ki Raghav itni jaldi move on kar jaega.

Aliyah: Yaar jab tera break up hua tab humlog rickshaw ke 15 Rs. dete the ab 30 dete hain. Is beech 5 saal guzar gaye Sia. Behtar hoga tum bhi move on kar jao.

Sia: Tere bhi to 5 saal guzar gaye... Tu bhool pai Arjun ko?

That question made Aliyah silent.

Sia: Nahin hota itna easy Aliyah. Tu bhi janti hai ye.... All of us have moved on but not yet moved on. We are still stuck somewhere on each other. Waiting for them to come to us.

They stood up to leave the Cafe.

Outside they were walking on the pavement when Aliyah bumped into someone.

Oh sorry... Aapko lagi... Tum??? Yahan???
