"Kya hua tujhe, itni sadi hui shakal kyu ho rakhi hai or aankhien bhi itni laal ho rakhi hai, pata hai mujhe kuch chala gaya hoga Kyunki roti to tu kabhi hai nahi" Anshika asked Sana as she sat on the empty chair beside Shreya and snatched the sandwich Shreya was ready to gobble. She was stressed and upset the sandwich told them.

"Kuch nahi hua hai or sach main aankh main kuch chala gaya tha or main sach main nahi roti"

"Ya right right" Riya passed the sarcastic comment rolling her eyes.

Few moments back......

"Sidharth what do we have? " Sana voiced the question her heart always asked and Sidharth was taken back because he was not ready for any such questions so soon may be not even later because he didn't want to.

"have as in? " he asked back

"like what do we share..........what are we"

"friends"

"sirf friends?" the mist in her eyes was back, seeing his care and concern she believed that they were not mere friends because that is not what friends do. She pulled herself back breaking the hug and looked in his eyes.

"say Sidharth"

"han Sana, we are friends.........aren't we"

"we will always be? " that was more of a question than a statement.

"always" he replied with a forced smile which she failed to notice due to the blurred vision she had by now with the tears in her eyes.

"Bye Sidharth I need to go, my FRIENDS would be waiting and exams are also approaching so see you after exams." the bye was good bye may be. She was firm that it's high time she need to think about herself, not being selfish but safeguarding herself from the possibile heartbreak and pain. She decided to be away from him which teared her heart apart because it was most arduous task to do.

At present......

Somehow everyone including Rahul, who was still in Shreya guessed the reason to be Sidharth and he confirmed his guess when he saw Sidharth's sullen face and foul mood. He knew it, from the party night he knew it they are a thing and the best one.

"Okay guys I will take a leave, bye........bye Shreya" the special mention of Shreya left her blushing and red.

"yaar exams are so close mujhe dar lag raha hai"

"rehne de Riya tujhe hamesha dar lagta hai and you always do the best" Shreya gave back to the usual dialogue every topper gives .

"yaar matalb ab insaan ko dar bhi nahi lag skata.........had hai, tum sab jaao mujhe bas meri Sana samjhegi.........haina Sana"

"huhhh.........hmmm...han" Sana replied still lost in the moment where she took the most heart wrenching decision for herself.

**

It was a week left for the exams and everyone was going haywire still not knowing what to study and how to, they did not have time left anymore, they felt.

Classes were suspended for students to do better and get more prepared but no matter what the actual study begins a night before exam, this was what they all knew, but the straining environment was prevelant.

Sana's condition was worst, study after a heartbreak somehow didn't sound so good. She felt herself draining emotionally every second and would often cry to sleep. She missed him and her own resolve seem breaking.

Sidharth was neck deep in books because all he knew was he has to be the best and to be best one needs to get themselves polished. The last moment with Sana also pushed him more in books to keep himself occupied and away from the heart talking but the nights awakened the heart and it overpowered every other thing.

The exams were high powered and stressful. Sidharth would everyday see Sana ignoring which made him sad but he knew he gave her the reason to do so. He even wished her all the best prior to every exam only to be rewarded by tight lipped smile and absolutely no words.
Sana hated it, being so cold and arrogant towards him but this was for her and she was doing it for herself is what she would tell her on loop when she would feel herself breaking bit by bit.

It was the last exam, the atmosphere was happy, exams ending are the best part of the exams.

"All the Best Sana" Sidharth out of his habit wished her and instead of smile she gave him words.

"Thanks Sidharth but iski koi zaroorat nahi hai, so stop doing it last exam hai aaj par abhi or bhi exams honge........so stop doing it......I don't need your all the best" her voice held the pain but she was successful to portray it in the rude way. Her eyes had the water of pain, when she saw his eyes and it was the worst thing she could do to him ever. The eyes were having betrayal and vulnerability, a broken Sidharth which was mirrored in her eyes too. Before she breaks the damn of strength she has been constructing since days she rushed out of his sight. He sighed thinking that he really has lost everything and turned back to his class, ready for the exam.

**
Exams were finally over and it was time for fun, the actual is always after exams. Sana was in her restaurant as her mother was out for some essential shopping. She was standing by the window when her eyes stopped on the crowd in front of the restaurant. Finding it fishy she headed towards the crowd to know the reason for the gathering, and seeing the reason made her heart stop the same moment.

What was it?

I may not got to see you as often as I like. I may not get to hold in my arms all through the night. But deep in my heart I truly know you are the one for me❤
