In the morning, Sid spread his hand in sleep but felt something empty beside him. He opened his eyes and didn't find Sana beside him. Then he saw her standing near the window. She was smoking. He wore his clothes and went near her.
She looked at him and said, "Yeh mila teri pocket se. Isliye gaya tha na tu bahar? Chal accha hai."
She continued smoking. Sid didn't say anything and just back-hugged her. Sana made an irritated face and pushed him harshly.
"Zyada chipak mat. Kaal raat se mann nahi bhara tera? Mil toh gaya jo chahiye tha. Isliye ab dur rahe mere se." She said pointing her finger towards him to which Sid made a confused face.
"Kya mil gaya mere ko?" He asked.
"Meri body. Woh ich chahiye tha tere ko aur maine de diya. Ab aur koi umeed mat rakhna."
Saying that she tried to leave but he held her hand tightly.
"Kya kaha tune? Mere ko teri body chahiye thi? Tu yeh sab sochti hai mere baare mein?" He asked.
"Toh aur kya? Isliye toh raat bitayi humne. Kyu ki aisa toh hai nahi ki tere ko mere se pyaar hogaya hai...."
"Haan ho gaya hai!" Screamed Sid angrily.
He pulled her towards himself and said looking at her eyes, "Pyaar karne laga hoon tere se."
Sana was shocked for a moment as she found honesty in his eyes. Then she gave a sarcastic smile and said, "Pyaar? Aur yeh kab hua? Kaal raat ko jab hum woh sab kar rahe the? Kabhi kisi ladki ke saath woh sab kiya nahi hai kya?"
"Kiya hai. Lekin kaal jo apne beech hua woh alag tha. Accha lag raha tha jab tu mere kareeb thi, jab tere ko maine chhua, jab har tarah se tere ko apna banaya. Yeh chori chakari loot paat ke bahar bhi ek zindagi hoti hai woh kaal maine mehsoos kiya. Mere ko ab tere saath ich rehna hai. Pyaar karna hai, shaadi karni hai tere se." Said Sid from the bottom of his heart and Sana became lost in him.
"Kya tu yeh nahi chahti?" He asked when Sana got back her sense.
She freed her hand from his grip and shouted, "Nahi!"
She was leaving when Sid again hold her hand and said, "Jhuth. Agar aisa ich hota toh teri aankhon mein mere ko yeh pyaar nahi dikhta jo ab dikh raha hai."
"Apni bakwas band kar." Said Sana taking off her eyes.
Sid squeezed her cheeks angrily making her look at him and said, "Agar yeh sab bakwas hai toh sach kya hai baata. Tere ko mere se pyaar nahi hai? Nahi hai tere dil mein mere liye feelings? Baata!"
Sana jerked him away and screamed, "Feelings hai! Aur woh ich problem hai. Agar feelings nahi hoti, agar sab kuch sirf physical hota toh thik tha. Lekin feelings aane lagi hai tere saath. Aur mere ko yeh sab nahi chahiye. Nahi fasna mere ko pyaar ke chakkar mein. Isliye tere se haath jod ke request karti hai, dur rahe mere se. Please!!!"
Sana started crying folding her hands. Sid's eyes also became moist. He cupped her face and said, "Nahi reh sakta. Aur rehna hi kyu hai? Agar hum dono ek dusre se pyaar karte hai toh saath rehne mein kya dikkat hai?"
Sana again pushed him and said, "Saath rehna hai na tujhe? Chal reh lenge. Phir kya hoga? Ek do saal baad shaadi kar lenge. Phir bacche honge. Kya banayenge unko? Apne jaise looterein? Jaha dusre Maa Baap apne bacchon ko acchi chize shikhate hai, hum unko chori karna shikhayenge. Uske baad unko bhi gang mein shaamil kar lenge. Aur puri zindagi woh police se bhagte rahenge humari tarah. Yeh ich chahta hai na tu?"
Sid looked down.
"Sid samajh meri baat ko. Jo zindagi hum jeete hai, uss mein pyaar ki koi jagah nahi hai." She said further.
