"Sidharth Deshmukh."

As she heard the name, Sana's ears perked in response.

"Le batao, jab kahi jake teri shaadi ki date nazdeek ayi hai, tab wo wahan Bangalore se wapis ane ka naam hi nhi le raha." listening to this Sana closed her eyes tightly. Her mother's voice hushed in the background and all the images of the last night coming before her, mocking her consciousness.

She opened her eyes and opened her eyes. Her family was busy in discussing the arrangement while Rajiv raised a completely different agenda altogether.

"Maa, Sana itne time baad vapis ayi hai. Main to kehta hun ek party krte hain. Sab log mil bhi lenge. Aur ek get together bhi ho hi jayega."

Akriti suddenly shouted in excitement startling shehnaaz. " Yay, party. Are main to mari jaa rahi hun Delhi ki party dekhne ke liye. Aunty police bulalegi types. Kitna maza ayega na sanu." She asked shehnaaz while she just nodded.

She signalled Akriti but Akriti being a good girl, didn't get it. She raised her eyebrows in question. Sana again signalled her something. But the girl couldn't decode the signal. So, in the end, Sana spoke out, "Akku, mere sath chal zara. Wo mera ek top nhi mil raha tha."

Her mother voiced the issue present before them, " Oye, party ka kya krna hai?"

"Aap dekhlo mamma. Jo sahi lage." She replied hurriedly grabbing Akriti's elbow and taking her to the room.

Akriti silently followed Sana to her room.

"Kya hua ab?" Akriti asked sitting on the bed.

Sana was roaming around the room aimlessly murmuring something.

"Bologi ya main jaun?" Her voice was stern and loud that alerted Sana immediately.

"Akku, kand ho gya. Ab to meri khair nhi."

"Kya kand ho gya bhai. Ese kyun ghum rhi hai. Mujhe chakkar a rahe hain." She patted the sheet besides her, "yahan baith aur shanti se bata mujhe."

Sana sat beside her and hid her face in her hands. "He's the one I slept with. About whom maa and bhai have been talking."

Akriti scrunched her nose distastefully, "who?"

"Wahi Sidharth Deshmukh" came a muffled voice from inbetween her hands.

A sense of recognition washed over Akriti. "Woh Bhai ka best friend?"

Sana just nodded her head without looking at her. "Oh my god! Sana, you slept with your brother's best friend. Matlab, woh shaadi pe bhi ayega. Means...   

You're really screwed."

Akriti saw Sana gasp and falling down on the bed. She couldn't help her laughter.

"Woah Sana. I love it. Ab agar Bhai ko pata chal gya na, tu to gyi. Hai na?

Please say yes. I love the drama. Wahi teen baar bolna sab kujh, okay?

Tere bhaiya shree bolenge:
"Kya...
Kya...
Kya..."

Or tu bolna:
"Haan
Haan
Haan"

Fir kya pata meri kismat achhi ho aur scene aur  dramatic ho jaye. Like bhaiya tujhe thappad mar dein, ya fir aunty. I don't mind anyone. Par kitna maza ayega na. Live drama dekhne mein. I'm so excited."

She jumped on her place while Sana was staring at her facing.

"Tu apna mazak band karegi. Yahan pe meri jaan nikli ja rahi hai. Aur tu alag hi drawane scenarios bana rahi hai. Aur ye kahan se sikhe tune ghatiya serials ke ghatiya dialogue delivery ke tarike."
