---------------------------------------

Tomorrow is finally the day when they all will leave for the trip. Everyone is supper excited especially sid. 10 days sana will be in front of his eyes. He was determined to win her heart, be it as a friend for now but he will surely get her back. On the other hand anu was also super excited and was constantly gushing over the arrangements made by the college to sana.

"Sana yaar kitna beautiful cottage book kiya hai na yaar....Mujhse to wait hi nahi ho rha yaar...." Anu exclaimed.

"Jab se yeh naya plan bataya hai college ne tab se 50 baar yeh bol chuki hai tu..." Sana said rolling her eyes at her overexcited best friend.

"Ab isme main kya karu...Vo jagah hai hi itni sundar." Anu pouted making sana pull her cheeks in awe.

"Oyee....mai to bhool hi gayi...Hume mall jana hai meri shopping baki hai yaar..Chal chal." Anu panicked getting up from bed and taking her purse.

"Yaar anu tera yeh last moment shopping har bar kyun hota hai yaar....I don't wanna go." Sana whined.

"Well babes you don't have a choice." Anu smirked.

They both went to the mall where anu forced sana to buy some new clothes for her as well.

"Yaar anu yahan sab bohot expensive hai. Mujhe nahi chahiye." Sana said.

"Yaar sana, common yaar. Tune kitne time se apne lie khuch khareeda nahi hai na. Trip par bhi sab purana leke ja rahi hai. I am not listening anything now. We are getting you new clothes. That's it." Anu said with finality and moved further. Sana huffed and walked behind her knowing she can't win here.

They both did there shopping and went back home. Once home they went to rest in there room as sana is still staying with anu as she didn't let her go back and stay alone in that house. Anu was fast asleep but sana wasn't sleepy. She got up and sat on the study table intended to do some study but her eyes caught something. It was a letter from her college addressed to her. She opened the letter and got shocked and tensed. She decided to go to the college right now as she will not be able to talk for 10 days at least. She picked her bag and went to college informing anu's mother that she has some work.

-----------
Here in the office, sid was in a happy mood. He could not wait for the day to end and meet sana. He wanted to see her, hug her, scold her for playing this stunt of vanishing on him but just hold her the closest. He was constantly checking the time and well today time was passing very slowly. Hota hai na jab hume jaldi ho tab time dheere nikalta hai.

He was smiling like an idiot thinking about sana's expressions when she'll see him and also when she'll get to know that they are staying in adjacent rooms. She would be shocked.

He was not able to concentrate on work today so he called the day off and decided to check on kushal and vikas to divert his mind.

---------------
Here sana was in principal's office. So the letter she got stated that she has not submitted the fees from 2 semesters and she have this last month to clear her dues or else she'll be not allowed to attend the college and give exams. in short whole year will get wasted.

"Sir, it's fifty thousand. There's no way I'll be able to make this much of money in a month. Please give me some more time." Sana requested.

"shehnaaz last time also you said the same and I gave you enough time as you are a bright student and I don't want to loose a student like a you but now my hands are also bounded. your 2 semester fees is due. its the max I can do for you." the principal said. sana sighed looking down. there's no way she can make this much in a month. problems in her life are not ready to halt.

I don't think its possible." sana said dejected.

"you are going to the trip. umm...how.." the principal asked hesitated.

"anuska paid. she insisted for me to go." sana told. she had quite better relation with the principal. she is the brightest student of her batch and won many competitions in her 1st and 2nd year. her principal is really fond of her but he also noticed that she is little different from before. she is attending less classes and facing financial problems. last time when sana asked him for some time to pay her fees, he supported her and gave her as much time as she wants. she was able to pay one forth of her annual fees in 2 months but since then she did not pay any. now the year is nearly to the end and now if she wants to give her final exams she has to have her dues complete.

"have a seat shehnaaz." the principal said pointing towards the chair in front of him. sana sat down and rubbed her face with her hands.

"what had happened shehnaaz. I have noticed you are tensed mostly time and you are also not attending many lectures. last year your fees were on time and now you are not able to cope. and why did you have to make money. do you want me to talk to your parents." principal said.

"no" sana said immediately making the principal suspicious.

"I mean they are already too troubled and I don't want to trouble them more. please sir I request you, please don't tell them anything whether I'll be able to make the money or not. please." sana lied and pleaded. the principal was not convinced but he anyways nodded.

"thank you sir. I should take your leave now." sana said getting up and left the office.

she left the college premises and was walking on the road lost. what is she gonna do now. she sat on the bench in the park holding her head in her hands. finally she let her tears fall down her cheeks. she is miserable right now. her financial state is a mess, her mental state is a mess and her family status is a mess. she felt so lonely right now.

"what the fuck my life is. what am i gonna do. fifty thousand in a month is impossible. should I ask anu..no..no..I can't. she is already doing a lot for me. I am staying with her. she is practically feeding me right now. I can't trouble her more, she is already paying my trip expense. ughhh..trip expense, another ten thousand. there could not be any job in the world that could help me make this much money in a month......should I ask sdiharth to give me a job..no..no..if I ask him like this he will get to know that I am having financial problem and would be adamant to help me and I don't know what happens to me when I am with him. I can not hide anything from him if he is in front of me...." she thought and rubbed her face roughly with her hands. it was raining slowly, enough to drench her but she was sitting there mourning about her life to herself lost of time.

------------------

anu was getting worried at home as she got to know sana left from college an hour ago. she wondered what had happened all of a sudden that she had not returned yet. she hoped everything is fine with her. she was getting restless every passing second and rain was getting heavier. not getting what to do she called sidharth. he answered in the second bell.

"hello" sid answered.

"sidharth sana mil nahi rahi hai yaar." anu said frantically and this made sidharth hell worried.

"mil nahi rahi hai matlab. kuch hua kya." sid asked panicked.

"nahi kuch nahi hua. hum subha shopping par gaye the, then after returning she went to college. maine abhi college phone kiya tha to pata chala she left the college an hour ago. bahar itni barish ho rahi hai mujhe bohot fikar ho rahi hai yaar. kya karu." anu panicked.

"yaar ye ladki hamesha aise gayab kyun ho jati hai." sid said in frustration and worry.

"kuch to hua hai sidharth. vo aise akele tabhi reheti hai jab kuch aisa vaisa hua ho ki vo humse share na karna chahe. I am scared ki vo kuch ulta pulta na karle." anu said biting her nails.

"what do you mean by ulta pulta na kar le. bacchi hai kya vo. she is strong enough to handle any problems." sid said assuring himself more than anu.

"I know but lately she has been having these giving up thoughts yaar." anu said and sid scratched his forehead in worry.

"mai ek kam karta hoon college ke way par jakar dekhta hoon. shayd kuch pata chale. aise yahan nahi baitha jayega mujhse." sid said getting out of the office.

"alright. please tell me if you get to know something."

"okay" saying so he hanged up the call and drove the car outside the parking lot.

after driving for half an hour starting from her college he was getting more and more restless. he just wish ki vo kuch bewakoofi na kare. he realized that he had not ever been scared from anyone else before. it was like he was getting suffocated. all the bad thoughts came into his mind which he dismissed as soon as possible but they came again and again making him more conscious. he was on the bridge above the river, where he saw someone standing at the edge of the railing. he was having a feeling that it was her. his eyes got wide and he got down from the car running towards her. he just saw her back but he was sure his heart was right that it was his sana. he got there, pulled her back and hugged her to his dear life.

indeed it was her and she was so shocked to see him there and hugging her so tightly. she didn't know how to react. whether to hug him back or to push him and ask what the hell he's doing or something else. but she felt him shaking as if in fear. she rubbed his back calming him down.

"sidharth.." his name sounded so beautiful in her voice. he broke the hug and cupped her face checking if she's alright and then her hands and he whole body for any kind of wound. after getting satisfied that she okay he looked back at her face in her eyes. all the while sana was just looking at him confused.

"tum pagal ho kya." sid shouted final breaking the silence. his loud voice shocked sana. she didn't get it why was he shouting on her.

"excuse me." sana said.

"don't show me your attitude samjhi. what the hell do you think you are ki aise hi gayab ho jao. tum kya koi celebrity ho ki sab log tumhare age peeche ghoomenge. koi idea bhi hai main ktna dar gaya tha jab mujhe pata chala tum fir se kisi ko bina bataye kahin chali gayi ho. aur yahan kya kar rahi ho. pagal ho. yeh bhi koi solution hota hai kya kisi bhi problems se deal karne ka. how could you put your life in danger. yeh life sirf humari nahi hoti, unki bhi hoti hai jo humse pyaar karte hai....." he continued to yell at her making her angry and cut him in between.

"shut up will you..." sana shouted making him quite. "what the hell do you know about my problems haan...aur yeh kya life par lecture de rahe ho. mujhe pata hai mujhe kaise apni problems se deal karne hai. for me meri life se zada koi bhi cheez important nahi hai. nobody and nothing is worthy enough to give my life for samjhe tum...aur har kisi ki life mein nahi hote vo log jinke lie app apki life ki koi value hoti hai." sana said and started to walk away. she was hurt with the statement of his about loved one. no she is not hurt because of him but because she do not have one. it too a couple of minutes for sidharth to register her words. once his mind got cleared he ran behind her pulling her again to him holding her arm making her land on his chest . they both looked in each other's eyes and just stared. rain was pouring heavily drenching them both.

"you have nobody to love you..that's wrong. you have. you have a best friend who can do anything for you. the one who loves your life more than her's. you have me. I know you don't consider me as one but your life's more precious than anything to me. never say that you don't have people to love you. just because you don't think you matter to them, make it true." sidharth said with so much authority looking directly into her eyes that she started falling week. there proximity was already making he week. realizing that if this continued she will definitely burst so she tried to get out of his hold.

"leave me." her voice was barely audible. she wriggled in his arms but it only resulted in him holding her more tightly still looking into his eyes. enable to take his stare she looked away and closed her eyes that were getting welled up. she was already very vulnerable and Sid's presence made it worst for her.

"please let me go" sana pleaded as her voice cracked. sid let her go sensing her vulnerability. she walked at a little distance from him and turned her face away from him and took a deep breath. she bit her lip hard to control her emotions that it stared to bleed a little.

"why are you here? and how did you know that nobody knew where was I? and how the hell do you know anu?" sana questioned him after few minutes controlling her emotions. sidharth looked at her and thought what to say to her. he knew he blabbed a lot in anger and fear. he can not obviously tell complete truth to her so he decided on half lie and half truth.

"umm...actually I...okay before that can we get in the car coz I am kinda freezing being completely drenched." sidharth asked making a cute face and sana stare at him but eventually sighed and nodded. she walked to the car followed by sidharth who was actually smiling for two reasons. one that he got time to think what to say to her and second that he is going to spend time with her. he will try to win her trust from this point only so that they can enjoy the trip more than worrying about what to do to coax her.

they both settled in the car and sana looked at him expecting the answers to her questions but instead he started to drive making her shock.

"what the hell? where are we going? I asked to something. Answer me dammit." sana said annoyed.

"relax miss chatterbox. I am not kidnaping you. we both are drenched and more than me you need to change. god knows since when you are drenching in the rain." sid answered chuckling.

"but where are we going?" sana asked

"to your place." sid answered.

"umm...we can't. I don't have the keys. I am not staying there right now." sana said looking away not wanting him to ask any questions. sid already knew this and wanted to take her to his place but if he would have said it directly she would have denied.

"okay then lets go to my place. its near anyways from her...and it is safe for you to come with me. I'll not bite." sid said grinning cutely when he looked at her raised eyebrows when he mentioned about his place. sana nodded knowing she can trust him and she anyways didn't wanted to go to anu's place as she knew she would ask million questions and sana was not in a mood of answering any questions.

they reached at his apartment in next 15 minutes and by this time sana was shivering because of her wet clothes. sid parked his car and got down walking to her door and opening the door like a gentleman. she got down and they both proceeded towards the lift. there was an awkward silence in the lift. she was silent getting conscious of going to a guys place at this time all drenched and vulnerable but she deep down knew she trust him and well he was silent because he was way too happy and excited to have her at his place and to spend some alone time with her. while walking to the lift he texted anu that sana is with him and is safe. he will talk to her latter.
