SidNaaz Ki Duniya: Collection of Short Stories and OS

Jab Mila Tu (7.7)

One day, Sid was scrolling his phone's gallery and seeing his old photos with Sana. His eyes became teary remembering those days when they used to be closed.

He sighed and said in his mind, "I have to speak to her. I can't let our friendship be destroyed like this. Haan main uss se pyaar karta hoon. Lekin woh Arjun se pyaar karti hai. Aur main bhi Natasha ko dhokha nahi de sakta. Sayad kismat ko yeh hi manjoor hai ki hum dost bane rahe. Main Sana se maafi maang leta hoon jis se humare bich sab kuch pehle jaisa ho jaaye."

Thinking that, he gathered a lot of courage and called Sana.

Sana became emotional seeing his name on her phone's screen. She received his call and said in a broken voice, "Hello...."

Sid couldn't understand what to say as he was also very emotional right then.

After waiting for sometime, Sana said, "Yaar at least baat toh kar."

"I'm sorry Sana. I'm so sorry."

That was all he could say.

"Uss din paata nahi mujhe kya ho gaya tha. It was so wrong. Main apne action ko justify toh nahi kar sakta par ho sake toh please mujhe maaf kar de. Main nahi chahta ki humare bich sab kuch itna awkward rahe. I don't want to lose our friendship."

Sana chuckled painfully hearing his words. He was guilty for his actions. And it was expected to her. After all he loves Natasha, not her.

Sana wiped her tears and said, "It's ok Baba. I know tune kuch bhi intentionally nahi kiya. Haan uss din bohut galat hone wala tha, par hua toh nahi? Let's forget about it. I'm happy ki tune mujhe call toh kiya."

Sid smiled sadly and said, "Nahi raha gaya aur. Adat ho gayi hai na teri? Umm..... Sana hum ekdin mil sakte hai? It has been a long time."

Sana thought for a while and asked, "Double date pe chale?"

"Double date, single date.... I don't care. Mujhe bas tujhse milna hai."

"Ok then, I'll talk to Arjun. Tu Natasha se baat kar le. Sunday ko milte hai."

"Ok."

They both kept quiet for sometime and said together, "I just can't wait to meet you."

Saying that they both smiled.

"Hum dono humesha ek time pe ek hi baat kehte hai." Said Sana.

"Maybe it's because we understand each other well." Said Sid.

"Yeah."

They both again became quiet.

"Thik hai tu Arjun se baat kar. Date fixed hogaya toh mujhe baata dena." Said Sid.

"Haan main baat karti hoon uss se." Said Sana.

"Abhi rakhta hoon. Bye."

"Bye..."

Sid hanged up. Sana looked at her phone and sighed.

"Sid you understand me more than anyone else. But still.... You couldn't understand my feelings for you.... Sayad yeh hi sahi hai. Hum dono hi ek serious relationship mein hai. Humara ek hona possible nahi. Main tere aur Natasha ke bich mein nahi aa sakti. Aur Arjun ko bhi aise nahi chhor sakti. Hum sayad dost hi thik hai." She thought.

Soon their double date got fixed at the same club where Sid and Sana first met as both Arjun and Natasha agreed to come. For Sid and Sana, the double date was just an excuse to spend time with each other. They both started waiting for it.

Sunday at the club....

Sid and Natasha were waiting near the bar.

Natasha looked around the club and said, "This club is nice. I didn't know about this. Tum pehle bhi aaye ho kya yaaha?"
