"Chai chai.. chai garam chai.."

Sidharth opens his eye and sees around.

Main kaha hoon? Train??? Ohhh.. haan main Sana ke saath Mumbai.. (Looks down to see her) Sana? Kaha chali gayi? Mumbai pahuch gaye kya?

He sits up straight and looks in the aisle to find Sana but she wasn't there. He quickly gets down.

"Vada pav.. Vada pav.. Garam Garam Thikka Thikka Masala Vada pav"

"Oye, Vada Pav wale bhaiyya.. Mumbai pahuch gaye kya?", He asks.

"Haan.. Mumbai main kaha saab?", The vendor asks.

"What the heck!! Sana!! Sana!!", He calls out loudly.

He runs haywire here and there to find her. He knocks on the lavatory door calling her name but there was no response.

Kahi woh mujhe choddke uttar gayi kya? Ya koi usse uttake le gaya.. no.. no.. no.. Bags!! Bags toh maine dekha hi nahi.

He runs back to his seat and finds Sana sitting and drinking water from the bottle.

"Sana.. Sana..", he holds her hands and checks her once from top to bottom to see if she was okay.

"Aise kya dekh rahe ho?", Sana asks perplexed. He hugs here tightly.

"Kaha chali gayi thi tum? Tumhe pata tha main kitna darr gaya tha?", He says.

"Oye, kya kar rahe ho? Aaj toh koi Rahul bhi nahi hai saath phir bhi yeh drama?", She says.

He pulls out of embrace and looks daggers at her.

"Tumhe emotions samajh nahi aata na? Hoti toh ghar choddke bhaagti hi kyu? Sab kuch tumhe drama hi lagta hai.. haina? I was genuinely concerned.", He said frustrated.

"Arey tum naraaz kyu ho rahe ho? Main toh bas isiliye bol rahi thi kyuki kal bhi tumne aise hi kiya tha.", She said.

"Dekh tu meri zimmedari hai. Jab tak tujhe teri Rahul ke paas sahi salamat nahi pahuchata na tab tak tum kahi bhi jaogi toh mujhe bata ke jaogi. Warna abhi Sharma ko phone lagaunga aur tumhara location bata dunga.", He warns her.

"Blackmail kar raha hai? Tujhe saath leke aayi yeh maine bahut badi galti ki.", She yells back.

"Kardi na galti? Ab chup chap iss galti ko nibhaa.", He speaks through clenched jaws going closer to her ears.

"Huh!!", She frowns away and sits with her hands crossed.

He pulls out his brush and paste and goes to wash his face. When he returns, she holds him by collar and shakes him.

"Kutte, tu abhi kaha gaya tha? Rules sirf mere liye hai kya? Tu bhi toh bina bataye gaya abhi mujhe? Subah subah itna sunaya sirf toilet jaane pe. Main  tujhe choddke chali gayi thi kya? Aisa hota toh tujhe kyu le aati? Tu so raha tha toh main muh dhone gayi thi.", She said weeping still shaking his collar.

He holds her arms to stop her.

"Chup kar Sana. Sorry! Sorry! Mera dimaag sadd gaya jab tune mujhe drama kar raha bola. Sorry!", He spoke.

"Kya hua beta, yeh ladka tumhe chedd raha hai kya?", A man asked.

She looked at Sidharth and then at the man.

"Nahi uncle. Hum dono lad rahe hai. Aap bhi toh apni patni se ladte honge na?", She asks.

"Tum dono pati patni ho?", The man asked surprised.

Sidharth sits down on the seat holding his head in hand.

"Haan, koi problem hai aapko?", She asked.
