Sidharth twisted and turned in his bed as he just couldn't get over thinking about Sana. It was magical as he remembered each of their encounter, none of it was planned. He desperately wanted to meet her again though it had been just few hours that he had dropped her at her hostel.

He looks at her phone number which he had saved as "Partner in Crime".

Should I call her? Or message her?

Aur?

Aur kya?

Time dekha hai? Aadhi raat ko call karoge toh Sherawali Maata block kar degi tujhe. Sabar karo, kal milegi. Tum toh college boy ke jaise behave karne laga ho.

College boy se idea aaya, Aditya ke jaise kal main bhi apna birthday celebrate kar loon aur usse invite kar loon toh?

Arey nahi nahi.. Madam ko pata chala toh shaamat aa jayegi.

Hmm.. I just hope usko woh wali naukri na mile taaki woh meri office join kare aur mujhe usse roz dekhne ka mauka mile.

Hmm.. toh kal ka din bina mile nikaalna padega. 4 ghante 36 minute ho gaye ussey dekhe toh ye haal hai ab aur kitna time nikaalna padega?

He turns on the TV and randomly watches some movie until he falls asleep.

Sidharth: This needs to be rectified immediately and also get quotation for new machineries. I want them replaced at the earliest. This will boost our production capacity as well.

Secretary: Okay Sir. Will get it asap.

Sidharth's phone starts ringing. He looked at it and was surprised to find that the call was from Sana. He wondered how she got his number.

Oh yeah! I gave her my visiting card yesterday. But I need to pretend as if I don't have her number.

As he answered the call a slight smile escaped his lips.

Sidharth: Hello. (Clears his throat)

Sana: Hello, Is this Sidharth Oberoi?

Sidharth: (Held back his smile as he felt delighted to hear his name from her mouth) Yes, I am. May I know who am I speaking to?

Sana: Hi! It's Sana. Sana Awasthi.

Sidharth: Hey! What's up Sana?

Sana: I've got a good news. I got the job.

Sidharth: (shocked) What? (The smile on his face disappeared) How?

Sana: (Taken aback) Huh? What do you mean by how? Obviously, by giving an interview.

Sidharth: Aaa... Aaa.. I am sorry. I meant to say congratulations.

Sana: Thank you. (Smiles) So, aaj shaam 6:30 baje Pizza treat pe aaoge?

Sidharth: Huh? Yeah.. fine fine..

Sana: Okay, milte hai phir. Bye.

He unknowingly bit his nails lost in his thoughts.

Aakhir kismat ne mera saath chodd diya. Kya zarurat thi usey waha kaam dilaane ki? (looks up as if complaining to his fate)

Ab woh toh waha join kar legi. Aur phir humara kya hoga? Aaj ke baad woh gate crash bhi nahi karegi kyuki usko naukri mil gayi hai. Toh kya aaj ke baad hume phir milne ka mauka nahi milega?

Pata lagana padega ki use kaunse firm mein naukri mili hai. Ya toh usko woh naukri choddni padegi yaa phir uss firm ko hi khareed lunga. Jaise Sana kehti hai bhagwaan bhi unki madad karta hai jo pehle apna madad khudh karte hai. Jab tak main Sana ko apne paas na le aao tab tak mujhe bhi chain nahi milegi.

He drives to the pizza parlour near her hostel in the evening. He goes inside and finds her sitting at the corner table wearing a bright smile. He gives a soft smile though he was restless from inside.

Sana: Hi.

Sidharth: Hi. Aaa... Woh Congratulations.. (shakes hand with her)

The waiter comes near them.

Sana: Thank you! (To the waiter) Rukhiye na bhaiyya, zara saas toh lene dijiye inhe. (Waiter goes away. To Sidharth) Aaj itni khush hoon na ki kya batau. Baitiye na.

Sidharth: Hmmm.. (sits) Happy for you.

Sana: Dikh toh nahi raha. Aapke chehre pe baara kyu baje hai?

Sidharth: Woh.. kuch nahi.. thoda office ka tension tha..

Sana: Oh!! Sorry, maine aapka time barbaad toh nahi kiya na? Aap chaho yeh cancel kar sakte hai. Kabhi aur kar lenge party.

Sidharth: Arey nahi.. I am all yours now. Yeh time tumhare liye hai. Chalo celebrate karte hai tumhari new job.

The waiter  comes again.

Sana: Pakka? (To the waiter) Bhaiyya abhi menu toh dekhne do na, decide toh karne do. (He goes away)

Sidharth: Pakka wala pakka..

Sana: (giggles) Waise yeh aapke range se bahut kam hai par mere budget ka hai. Aur yaha aapke fancy five star aur seven star hotels se kam daam mein jyada khaane ko milta hai. Aap businessman har cheez mein tol mol karte ho, par yaha iss maamle mein fail ho. Aapko pata hai jitna paisa aap 5 star aur 7 star pe barbaad karte ho utne mein ek middle class family ka mahine bhar ka raation aa jata hai. Khair choddo ye sab. (Forwards the menu) Aap batao aapko kya pasand hai?

Sidharth: (lost gawking at her) Tum

Sana: (shocked) Huh? Kya?

Sidharth: (fumbles) Aa.. aa.. mera matlab.. tum kitna bolti ho yaar? Aur tum iss jagah ko aachi tarah se jaanti ho, toh tum hi order kar lo.

Sana: Waise ek baat batau? (She leans closer to him) Main bhi yaha pehli baar aa rahi hoon. Itne din shaadiyon mein muft ka khaana jo khaati thi.

Sidharth: (smiles) Hmm.. toh ab?

Sana: Waise ek aur baat batau? (He smilingly nods and she leans closer again) Middle class log menu ke left side se jyada right side mein interest lete hai.

Sidharth: (confused) Matlab?

Sana: Yeh menu hai, iske left side mein items hai aur right side mein?

Sidharth: (looks at the menu) Price?

Sana: Haan, wahi. Joh kam daam mein aaye woh jyada order karte hai.

The waiter comes and stands again. Sana rolls her eyes.

Sidharth: Achcha? Wow!! He runs his finger on the menu and stops at a least price. Nimbu Shikanji? (Perplexed)

Sana: (laughs) Aapke bhaasha mein lemonade. Khair choddiye, aapke bas ki baat nahi hai. Main karti hoon. (She looks at the menu) Haan, bhaiyya toh aap ye wholemeal base wala veggie loaded pizza leke aana.

As she placed the order all he did was hopelessly stare at her for the whole time while thinking of the way to bring her in his life permanently. The waiter goes away. She looked at him and raised her eyebrows. He immediately looked at the menu.

Sidharth: Arey, yeh jo tumne order kiya uska right side heavy hai baaki item se.

Sana: Toh aap bhi toh heavy ho?

Sidharth: Huh? Main tumhe mota dikhta hoon?

Sana: (giggles) Nahi. Matlab mujhe itne din nahi pata tha ki aap itne bade company ke CEO ho. Aapse maine kisi aur ki shaadiyon mein bahut kaam bhi karaaya. Ab socha thoda achcha treat de doon. Phir ab gate crash karna bhi nahi hoga na.

Her reminder made him more sad.

Sana: Aap itne khoye khoye kyu ho? Bahut badi samasya hai kya office mein? Mujhe bata dijiye shayad main help kar paau..

Sidharth: Shayad? Aaj confidence ke saath kyu nahi bol rahi ki Sana ke paas har problem ka solution hai?

Sana: Kyuki aapki office ko aap achche se jaante hai toh solution bhi aapse achcha shayad main na de pau.

Sidharth: Tumhara office bhi ho sakta tha par tumne toh mauka hi nayi diya.

Sana: Apni kaabiliyat pe mile toh mujhe bhi koi jijak nahi hogi. Aapko already jaanti hoon toh aisa nahi hona chahiye ki main iska fayda uttau.

Sidharth: Fayda kaisa? Kuch dino baad tum apne naye boss ko bhi jaan jaaogi toh phir naukri chodd dogi? Aur hum agar pehle se ek dusre ko jaante hai toh ismein meri galati kya hai? Kyu mujhe saza mil rahi hai? (He vents out in flow)

Sana: Saza? Kya bol rahe hai aap? Mera kahi aur naukri karna aapke liye saza kaise ho gaya?

Sidharth: Woh.. woh.. itna achcha resource jo chala gaya mere haat se. (Covers up)

Sana: Aap na bahut jyada soch rahe hai. Mere part time wali maamuli si naukri karne se aapke bade business empire ko kya ho jata? MBA khatam hone dijiye phir shayad aapko full time experienced, extra talented resource mil jaayega. (Winks and giggles)

Sidharth: Usmein toh abhi bahut time haina? Tab tak?

Sana: Tab tak kya?

The waiter gets the pizza.

Sidharth: Hmmm.. kuch nahi.

Sana: Thanks bhaiyya. (waiter nods and goes away) Dekhne mein achcha lag raha hai, khaake dekhe?

Sidharth nods.

Sana: Waise main na Adi, Ruhi aur JP ko bhi bula leti treat pe, par budget ki problem ho jaati. (Laughs as she serves a slice to him)

Sidharth: Hmmm..

Sana: Yeh hmmm.. hmmm.. kya hai? Khaaiye na? Oh.. sorry! Aapko chamach aur kaanta chahiye hoga na?

Sidharth: Nahi, I am fine.

He smiles and observes her picking up a slice and biting a piece off it. He follows the same.

Yeh khudh naukri nahi choddke aayegi. Second option implement karna padega ab. Buy the firm.

Sidharth: Waise Sana, tumhara naya employer kaun hai?

Sana: Malhotra Industries..

Sidharth was shocked.
Malhotra Industries? Aaj meri kismat ulti kyu chal rahi hai? Hrithik Malhotra ki company hi mili thi isko? Uski company buy karna is near to impossible. Arghhhh...
