Love You, Truly Madly Deeply...

Kaun hai be thu??

As Sid approached them, Sana's shocked expression prompted the guy to turn and face him. Sid stood next to the table, glaring at Sana.

Sid: Tum toh bimaar thi na? Itni jaldi theek ho gayi? Aur yeh kaun hai?  (With a hint of sarcasm in his tone, he inquired.)

Guy: Oh hellooo... oh mister....  kya problem hai aapki haan? (He questioned the man while standing tall and exuding intimidation.)

Sid: Main tere se baat nahi kar raha hoon, toh chup chaap baitha reh samjha. (Sid glared angrily)

Guy: Oye, kaun hai be tu? Tameez se baat kar. (The man also appeared visibly upset.) 

Sid grabbed the man's collar, ready for a punch, but Sana stepped in, gripping Sid's hand and asking him to stop. The tension in the atmosphere escalated.

Sid: Kyun isko marunga toh dard tujhe hoga kya? (He asked disgruntled)

Sana: Haan isko maroge tho mujhe dard hoga... (Sana snapped) 

Sid was taken aback by her reply. 

Guy looked at Sanaand asked in a confused tone "Yeh kaun hai yeh badtameez? Jab se aaya hai, tujhse itni badtameezi kar raha hai?"

Sid: Main usse jaise bhi baat karoon, tujhe kya? She is my girlfriend, and I have a right to know. (He spoke in an audacious tone)

Guy: Yeh kya bol raha hai, Motto? Girlfriend? (He seemed shocked and confused)

Sid held Sana's hand, pulled her towards himself, and held her closer.

Sid: Yeh meri hai. Aur tu jo bhi hai, nikal yahan se. 

Guy: Motto, tu kuch bolegi bhi? (He asked looking at Sana)

Sana took a deep breath and announced.

Sana: Baaz inse milo, yeh hai Sidharth, tere hone wale Jija. (Sid had a proud smile on his face, and then he noticed the guy's name and the word "Jija.")

Sana: Sidharth, yeh hai mera bhai Shehbaaz.

Both Sidharth and Baaz found themselves at a loss for words. Baaz was taken aback upon learning about his sister's relationship. He had heard about Sidharth but thought they were just good friends. Sidharth on the other hand was embarrassed for misunderstanding Sana and behaving poorly towards Baaz.  An awkward silence lingered for a few minutes.

Sid: Magar, he is looking different. Photo mein toh alag dikhtha tha. (He said with an embarrassed smile)

Sana: Yahan aane se pehle apna makeover kiya hai isne. Style maarne aaya hai yahan... (Sana said in an annoyed tone)

As they exchanged glances, they realized the entire restaurant was staring at them. Sana smiled apologetically to those around, and they took their seats at the table. Sid gave a hesitant smile to Baaz, who reciprocated awkwardly. Sid then turned to Sana who was looking annoyed.

Sid: When did he come and why did you hide this from me?? 

Sana: us din canteen main phone aaya aur main chali gayi thi yaad hai... who isika call tha. Hamare college ke gate pe aake call kiya tha isne....

Sid: But why did you have to hide it from me??

Sana: Because I did not want this duffer to know about us...

Baaz: Oye duffer kis ko bol rahi hai? Aur kyun nahi bathana tha mujhe?? (He argued)

Sana: Kyun ki tu ja ke ghar pe dhindora peet detha... aur syappa ho jatha. Aaur duffer tho tu hai. (She said in an annoyed tone)

She turns to sid who was laugh seeing sana's  banter with baaz

Sana: Aur tum kya apne daant dikha rahe ho??? Main agar tumhe tab hi batha deti tho usi waqt tum bhag ke aajathe isko milne ke liye. Aur wahin syappa hojatha coz iske sath mere mame ka beta sunny bhi tha... Aur dont you trust me? Mere peeche peeche aane ki kya zaroorat thi? (She sounded angry and hurt)

Sid: Aisa nahi hai baby... Tum ithna weirdly behave kar rahi thi ki mujhe samajh me nahi aaya ki kya karoon... You know naa tumhe dekhe bina aur baat kiye bina nahi reh saktha. Its been 2 days and I was getting worried. I was gona come to your apartment to see if you were ok. thabhi I saw u with him. I followed you because i felt worried and sad and (In a low voice ) thoda insecure bhi ho gaya tha... I am sorry... Its not that I dont trust you... its just that I am too scared to loose you...(He said his voice cracking)

Sana felt little sad herself that she made him feel that way. 

Sana: am sorry but I did not know what to do. (She said in an apologetic tone)

Sid: Agar chupana tha tho who bhi batha sakti thi naa. Baby I would have listened.

Sana: Sorry... 

Sid: Promise me you will never hide anything from me...

Sana: God Promise...

Sana uttered those words, and they embraced warmly as Sidharth gently kissed her forehead. Observing this affectionate moment, Baaz felt a sense of joy knowing that his sister had someone who cared for her deeply. In a mischievous mood, he decided to play a prank on them by pretending to make a serious phone call.

Baaz: Haan baauji, main yahi hoon... ab kya batayein aapko... Yeh ladki hamare khandaan ka naam ek baar phir badnaam karne ki soch rahi hai... Yahan par boyfriend banake ghum rahi hai... Ek baar phir hamare khandaan ki izzat mitti mein milayi ja rahi hai...

Sana's face turned pale upon hearing this, her big brown eyes welling up with tears. Sidharth looked at Baaz in shock. Witnessing Sana's distress, Baaz quickly put the phone down.

Baaz: Arre, main toh mazak kar raha tha yaar... main pagal hoon kya jo bauji ko aise batata!?

Sana, still upset, responded, "Tere mazak ke chakkar mein meri jaan chali jaati..."

Sidharth, relieved that it was just a prank, glares at Baaz.

Sidharth: (smirking) Baaz, dara diya yaar! Not cool, man.

Baaz, trying to lighten the mood, grins mischievously. He looked at Sana who was glaring at him.

Baaz: Sorry bolana... tu mereko bathana nahi chahtithi iskebare mein tho maine bhi socha ki main badla loon. Tujhe aisa kyun laga main batha doonga sabko?? Aur tu ise apna friend bhi tho bol sakthi thi. mujhe aur ma ko tho yehi bola tha na pehele. 

Sana: Hmm... mujhe nahi patha... Patha nahi kyun darr lag raha tha... Tujh se zyada mujhe us sunny pe bharosa nahi hai... Woh tho yeh yahan prakat ho gaya varna tujhe patha hi nahi chaltha...(She says pointing at Sid)

Baaz: Kis baath ka dar ha thujhe?

Sana:  Agar mujhe is se alag karde woh sab tho??? Main iske bina jee nahi paungi (She said hugging Sid's hand and sid holds her hand)

Baaz: Tujhe patha hai na teri khushi mein hi meri khushi hai... tho dar math main nahi bolunga kisi ko...

Sana: kha kasam...

Baaz: teri kasam.

Sid: Ab bhai behen ka ho gaya ho tho hum khana order karen?? 

Baaz: Neki aur pooch pooch...

They placed their food orders and relished the meal while enjoying in each other's company. Throughout the lunch, Sidharth discreetly held Sana's left hand under the table.

Once they finished eating, Sidharth leaned over and whispered to Sana that he needed to have a private conversation with Baaz.
