Sana sat on the steps outside the school building, her face buried in her hands. She tried to hold back the tears, but they flowed freely. Kabir's rejection still echoed in her mind, each word cutting deeper than the last. She felt utterly alone until a familiar voice broke through the silence.
"Sana?"
She looked up to see Sid standing there, his usually calm expression softened with concern. He hesitated before sitting down next to her, maintaining a respectful distance.
"Tu thik hai?" he asked gently, his voice unusually soft.
Sana tried to laugh, but it sounded more like a sob "Tujhe kya lagta hai, Sid? Kabir ne mujhe… mujhe reject kar diya" her voice cracked, and she quickly wiped a tear away.
Sid sighed, his jaw tightening. "Sana… Kabir ke liye tumhare feelings genuine thi, but agar usne tumhe nahi samjha, toh woh uska loss hai, not yours... And I'm sorry mujhe Kabir se confirmed karna chahiye tha"
He said and look down, she look at him.
"It's okay it's not your mistake", she said in low tone.
Sid’s jaw clenched slightly, feeling a pang of frustration toward his brother.
"No it's my mistake Sana, I'm really sorry. Kabir… sometimes he just doesn't realize what he has until it's too late"
She sniffled, trying to laugh, but it came out bitter "Aur tu kabse sorry kehne laga hai? Mujhe pata tha, yeh hone hi wala tha, aakhir main hu hi kon, koi herion thodi hu jo mujhe accept karta"
He reached over, placing a comforting hand on her shoulder. "Kabir teri value nahi samajhta, Sana. Tu jitni pyaari aur caring hai, uske liye wo kabhi perfect match nahi ban sakta. Kabhi bhi nahi, aur tu khudh ko kam kiu samjhti hai tu hai heroin apni world ki heroine wo kya kehti hai tu Punjab ki Katrina kaif wo hai tu"
She looked up at him, surprised by the sincerity in his voice "Mujhe acha feel karane ke liye ye sab bol raha hai na?" she said weakly, but he could tell her heart was still heavy.
Sid took a deep breath, choosing his words carefully. "Bas tere liye, Meri Miss Queen of Chaos" he said softly, his eyes lingering on her longer than usual. A hint of something unspoken flickered there, but he quickly masked it with a smile.
Sana managed a small smile in return, leaning against his shoulder, feeling the comfort he brought. "Sid… thank you"
His heart skipped a beat, knowing how much more he wished he could be for her, yet holding back, respecting her feelings even though they weren't for him.
"Kabir jo bhi kehta hai kehne do, yaad rakhna… teri life me tere true friend hamesha tere saath hai. Aur agar kabhi tujhe koi doubt ho… main tere liye hamesha yahin hoon" he murmured, a promise hidden in his words.
As they sat there, a silent understanding passed between them, one that neither dared to break. For now, Sid was content just being there for her, even if his feelings would remain his secret.
"Chal ab" Sid stood up holding her hand.
"Kaha?" She asked him.
"Class me" he said casually.
"Tu pagal hai main kabir ko kese face karungi" she sat back.
"To kya yahi padhi rahegi? Kabhi na kabhi to usko face karna hi padhega na chal uth jaldi"
"Nahi Sid mu...mujhe dar lag raha hai" she said in low voice.
"Oye meri sherni dost ko kaha chupa liya tuna haan, meri she- meri jo dost thi na wo kabhi kisi se nahi darti thi ye darpok Sana kidhar se aai?" He said dramatically.
