Sid: sid mere pass falthooo batho ke liye waqt nahi hai I need to get back to work'

Sanjeev : ach acha theek hai bab gussa mathe hoo

Everyone gets cracking with the arrangements, its evening and almost everyone is ready .Sid comes out in a white sherwani,

Imagination is destroyed when he recalls arman's face.Sid goes and entangles her in his arms and walks her to where matt is standing

Sid: btw u look gorgeous ( in a low voice to neeta)

Neeta: thanku

Sanjeev administers the ceremony and its time for ring exchange.Rids is in a happy mood and looks at Sid and remembers how he proposed to her .

Sid looks at rids : aj yeh lamha naa jane une yadoon ka taza kar reha hai jine maine bahut pehle daba diye thee mere andar ..yeh yadein humshe muje tumse jodthi thii..

The ceremony starts and its time for ring exchange, Neeta has her ring ready and she quickly grabs it from her dad .Hoeever, there is lil problem

Sanjeev: shit! I forgot to pick the ring

Sapna: omg! Ur so usless ..how could u forget such an important things..now go and get it..

Sid: wait its gonna take u half an hour of drive to get to the jewllers and to come back don't worry I have got few rings.Give me a second I wil be back now, he goes up the stairs into the room and opens his wardrobe, where from a closet he pulls a small ring box in which there are two rings.He comes down with box

Sid: here take this matt there are two rings in there , choose which ever one u like

Matt: but how can I accept

Sid: down't worry these rings are of no use to me now, u better have them

Rids wondered why he was speaking such.

Sid hands it over to Matt.He picks a ring out of it and sees something written on it

Matt: sid is per thoo'SR' likha hai

Rids eyebrows rises in a shocked expression.''SR'-Sid and ridhima, matlab it was for me '

Sid recalls that this was the ring that he wanted to gift on teej night but nothing such ever happened..

Sid: voh..it doesn't mean anything just relics from past..( in a disappointed tone)

Rids is looking at Sid with tearful eyes.

Try the next ring,

Matt: yh this one is good.I will take it

Sid: sure

Matt: thanks bro

Sid: no problem

They exchange rings and next its dance time, everyone is dragged on the dance floor however sid and rids stay away and they stand opposite to each other on two ends.He puts his hand into his pocket when he feels the ring box in there,he takes it out and holds it in his palm and decided to go into his room to put it back.Rids who is watching all this decided to follow him.He goes up the stairs through the corriodors into the room. He walks into the room, looks at the box for a bit and then opens it , he sees the ring with SR written on it meanwhile rids reaches outside the room and is watching him from a distance.He spreads his fingers over 'sr' 'two names, infact two people who got sepreated 6yrs ago but their names are still joined in certain relics from the past 'sid gives a faint disappointed smile'

Sid closes it and places it back in his wardrobe, he then walk across to a picture which was of abhi-niki..he picts up the frame ,spreads his fingers on abhi's picture

Sid ( loud as he is talking to the his bro): I miss u bro, aje bahut akeela huuu kash ape sath hote ( with tears in eyes), patha hai aj jab mai ridhima ke sath arrangements kar reha tha thoo purane din yaad aa gaye, akhir apke engagement par he thoo hum ne sath pehli bar kam kiya thaa aur voh sath vaha se lekar shadhi thak phir kahi mite gaya'ek risha jiska koyi vajooth nahi thaa'bhayi ape kyo chele gaye , mai bahut akela huu,bahut ..bayi agar ape hote thoo meri mushkil mie sath dethe..lekin kismet ne ape ko bhi mujse se door kar diya .Sid closes his eyes and tears slide down his eyes.

Rids who is listening to what sid said is quite upset and has tears for him..

Sid opens his eyes wipes his tears and goes into the wash room to wash his face.Meanwhile rids makes her way down,few minutes later she finds him coming down too.Meanwhile the photographer is busy taking pictures he takes lads of family pictures and then later on Rahul comes to sid dragging rids along

R: Dady kya hum ek pict ridhima aunty ke sath lay sakthe hai

S: he looks at rids , nahi beta we shouldn't trouble anyone I am sure she has more important work to do ( rids is disappointed to hear that)

R: dad please'please

Meanwhile sapna walks in

R: sapna aunty dady ko kaho na ki who mere aur ridhima aunty ke sath ek picture lay..pls

Sapna: aree mane javona sid, rahul ki kwahish hai na

S: thik hai

The photographer come along and is setting them to a pose

Sid picks rahul up in his arms and stands at a distance from rids.

P: aree sir please come closer

Sid moves a bit closer, he looks at ridhima uncomfy and then at the photographer

Sid: its k we are fine

P: thoda aur sir bus a lil bit more, just ek ache short ke liye.

Finally they are so close that their fingers are touching, they look at each other as their fingers brush past.

P: sir just put Ur hands around on to her shoulder

Sid: huh? With a confused look,

P: please

Rahul: come on pa

Sid looks at rids in gesture of asking permission

R: she nods sighning a yess

Sid: he raises his hand extends it towards rids shoulder while she is watching his hand, it comes around to her shoulder and drives her closer to Sid, she hits his chest.Another rare moment of closeness it was for them, they gaze into each other eyes knowing how much they both needed to be with each other yet couldn't acknowledge.Sid lowers his head down to rids ears getting too close, her hair brushing past his face as the breeze blows, he remembers how he has missed the softness of her hair.She could feel his breath on her ear.

Sid: ( in a low voice) I know this is uncomfortable for you but just bare with us 4 a bit..

P: look here people

They all look up,

P: smile everyone

And they had the perfect family shot.As soon as the shot is over Sid places Rahul down and he thanks rids and run to simi.The photographer leave too.Now its only sid and rids, Sid looks up at her .She too looks into his eyes

S: I am sorry about this Rahul gets a bit stubborn at times.

R: don't worry I understand, its kids

S: thanks btw

R: for what ?

S: for baring with us for this long

R : don't be'( sids fone rings)

He picks up and looks at it , it was max

He walks away from rids and she looks at him

Sid on the phone

The after party carries on and he never gets around to speak to rids.It almost end time now, when sanjeev comes up with this'

Sanjev: hey guies engagement thoo hogayi aur ab shadhi kab?

Mat: actually hum log soch rehe thee ki yeh kyon nah shadhi bhi kar le

Raj: shadhi aram se honi chahiye, aur uske liye tayari bhi honi hai, aur sab se pehle pandit ko bulakar muharat bhi nikalna hai

Neeta: its k dad we want our wedding to be a miny affair just with us lot in this beautiful place aur muhurat and stuff we don't believe in such things

N's dad: lekin beta yeh sab rasme aur rewase hai 'and we have too keep

Matt: there is no point in such things, love is all that matters aur we need a traditional wedding we want a modern wedding with a minister rather than a pandit

Raj: yeh aj kal ke bache bhi na

Sid( interrupts): in rasmo revaso mai koyi point nahi yeh hume zindagi sikha thee( rids looks up to sid and she knows y he is talking like that)

R in her mind: may be all the looses in his life has made him this hostile

S: what matters is dilo ka milna, ( he looks up t rids, their eyes are meeting) agar pyar na ho thoo any relationship is failure

Sanjeev: tries to lighten the situation as he sees the bulding tention in Sid's words.. uncle yeh log sadhi keh rahe hai all that matters is love phir chahe shadhi madir mie ho ya masjith mie, London ya shimla, what links them together is god, in love.

Raj: aj kal ke bache bhi na

N's : jaise tum logo ki marzi

Sanjeev: thoo wedding ka ka plan kare ?

Matt: we were thinking this Friday and then mehndi on the day before on thursday

Sanjeev: why so early

Neeta: because after next week,our holidays are finishing, secondly this is Sid's final we in India his job's gonna be over by sat and he is back by next fight and then its hard to get him back to India for anything so get things done while we are here

Rids looks up to Sid in pain, he senses her gaze and looks at her 'sid is going back agin I forgot it was his last week ..

They talk to each other in their mind

R: maine barso tumhara intesar kiya hai isi hope mai kit um ek din vapas aoge and I will be able to clear things between us.

S: mai vapis nahi ana chahta tha but rahul ke liye ana pada abe vapis lautna bhi padega ..

R:kyat tum ruk nahi sakthe, tumhare lote jane se muje farak padtha, in saloo mai bhale he tum muje bhool choke ho lekin mai tum se pyar karti hoo

S: bahut koshish kee hai tumhe bool ne ki aur bahut mushkil se apni zindagi maine sawari hai, its best ki mai lote javuu, ab mai purane zakhmo ko taza hote huve nahi dekh saktha'

Sanjeev: right guies pay attention so this is fixed then, Matt will wed neeta on Friday and then mehandi and other stuff on Thursday and we all will work together as a team and get things done..aur haa jab tak shadhi nahi ho jathi tab take neeta and matt cannot see each other or live in the same house.mat will stay here with us and neeeta hmm ?

Shashank: neeta can stay at ours

Savjeev: right that's done then

Everyone together cheers for what sanjeev said.The night carries on few more hour and soon its time for everyone to leave, shanky and his family are heading towards their car and everyone is outside to see them off,Neeta too has packed her stuff to leave with them,everyone is walking ahead of them while Sid, matt and rids are walking together.However matt quicly moves forward to see of neeta, its sid and rids walking together now..They both look aound and then sid starts

S: Dr ridhima vohh

Everyone is in the car Anjalie calls for rids

S: tum jao

R: hmm bi ( in her mind to sid ' thanks 4 this beautiful night ')

Anajie, neeta, rids and atul are in the same car,Matt is still standing near the window of the car speaking to neeta

Sanjeev: oo mere majnu come back theyneed to get home

, mai tumhari tadap jantha hu but trust me tum iske liye badhe mie pachthaoge lol

Sapna lightly smacks him on his back,

Atul: sahi kaha,

Anjale: tum ghar au mai tumhe dekh loongi

Sapna : shuru mie jitni dooriya hoti hai badh mai uthni he nazdikiya aur pyar bhii

Both sid and rids hear that and look at each other

Sid in his mind : shuru mai bhi dooriya thii aur voh ajj bhi haiii, mai kuch zaydha he zindagi se expect kar reha tha jab maine tum se shadhi ki..

Rids: sid muje naa jane essa kyon lagtha hai ki although tum upar se mere towards bahut cold ho lekin kahi nah kahi tum aj bhi mujse pyar karte hoo'

Sid: abe yeh sab soch kar kya fayida hum fir see door ho jayenege after Sunday this time humesha humesha ke liye..yehi hum dono ke liye acha hai

Sid looks away, finally matt walks away from the car window girls inside wave at the guies outside and rids has her eyes fixed on sid while drivin off..Sid looks in her direction for few seconds and then looks away.

Afterwards everyone goes back into their rooms.Anjie now requests rid to live at hers until the wedding is over.Next day in the afternoon its about 5pm, time for sid and rids to leave.they both are walked to the parking slought by Max..

Max: right guies good luck and tc hope u come back soon

Saying this he walks back..

Sid: mere pass map hai lekin kya tumhe rastha patha hai.?

Rids: I don't know how to to get there but ha highway thake ka rastha patha hai '

S: alright ek karthe hai mai age jatha hu apni gadi mie aur tum muje follow kar lena

R: fine

S: aur ha ..kya tumhare pass mera number hai ?

R: nahi

S: wait I have ur's I will give u a miss call aur save kar do and then call me if there is any emergency..

They both get into their respective cars and leave .Sid goes ahead and rids follow him.Its been half-an hour and they are driving through the road '

R: this might be last med-camp with sid and also last few days with him..she thinks

Suddenly her car comes to an hault, she gets out and checks and finds her engine's not working, it was getting dark.Sid was way ahead of her although she was ment to follow him.She takes he phone out to call but then its out of range.Sid suddenly realises that he wasn't being followed by ridhima anymore. He pulls in to the side of road and dials her number but her unfortunately its out of range.Its getting dark I wonder where she is, also its not safe for a girl to be out here on her own.So he decides to drive back to rids.On the other hand rids is continuously trying her fone but its out of range'.its getting dark and this place is a bit dogy may be I should try for a lift. Meanwhile a jeep drives past her, they pull in seeing her and out comes 2 outlaws, they seemed dojy so rids decided to walkway from them.They start to chase her and rids starts running to flee from them.Rids suddenly gets short of breath and was about to give up, when Sid drives in he sees her being chased. He stops the car and runs towards her.The outlaws who have seen sid running towards rids turns around and flee.Sid catches up rids

S: ridhima tum heek tho ho

Rids collapses in Sids arms, she hugs him tightly not letting go off him, sid senses that she is scared and soothes her back , he wraps his arms across

R: sid! voh (she is breathing heavily )

S: don't worry ridhima mai aa gaya hu na tumhe kuch nahi hone dunga..

Sid takes of his jacket and wraps it around her

S: ( he pulls it around her chest)its k don't worry .

He puts his arms around her waist and leads her into the car, he seats her and makes comfy, he closes the door and gets in from the other end into the driver's seat 'he sees rids still shaking.He moves across to hold her,he holds her face up

S: don't worry mai aagaya hu naa

He takes a bottle of water from his rucksack and passes it to her.

S: have some water ,

Rids drinks it and she feels much calmer, sid now starts driving towards her car.He stops near her car and waits before he could speak to her..

S: feeling better

R: haa

Wait in here mai abhi aya'Sid goes outside looks at her car and sees the engine is broke,he kind of gets an idea of what happened.He gets into the car grabs her phone and her bag and puts that into his car. He then pushes the car to the side of the road , Takes the key and locks it. He walks back to his car and fastens his seat belts.He turns around to rids

S: tum thik ho na

R: ha

S: tumhara fone aur bag peeche hai aur yeh rehi tumhari car ki keys yaha rak reha hu , kal subah kisi mechanic ko bijva doonga lene ke liye.

R: nods her head

S: acha lets resume with our journey now.

It was dark and was starting to rain.Sid starts the car and begins to drive, after 15mins of drive rids is still quite, she seemed to absorbed in her thoughts.

S: lagtha hai rids abhi bhi dari huvi hai wait ek kam karta hu.He reached his fone which on speaker and presses his home number .He knew this would catch rid's attention and it indeed did.

S: rahul ! ape soye nahi

R: nahi apse gd nyt kahe bagair nahi sounga, vaise mie apko phone karne e wala thaa

Rids is now listening to the conversation, her minds starting to be taken off from the previous incident..

S:thoo how was ur day

R: it was gd paaa but I missed u I havn't seen u today at all and won't see u until tomorrow..

S: kya karu beta kam he essa hai..So what happened in school today.

Rahul narrates everything that had happened in the school including how his friends teased him for not having any siblings and other funny stories.To which both rids and sid laugh.Sid catches his glance at rids when she was laughing'' I havn't seen that sight in ages'

R: pa ap kisi lady ke sath ho kya

S: ha voh mai Dr ridhima ke sath hu , hume kam se kahi jana tha

R: pa can I speak to her

S: thinks' this will help rids to recover from what happened earlier so he rotates the holder in her direction and says' lo bath karo' Rahul wants to speak 2 u

Rahul and ridhima has a very sweet conversation, he liked the way rids could handle rahul'after a while being on phone rids rotates the holder back to sid ''rahul wants to speak to u'

S: ha bolo beta

R: pa I need a lil baby sis

Sid stops his car when he heard that

Sid: kya ?

R: dad everyone in school has one y can't I have one

Rids sees the uncomfyness in his eyes

S: errm..rahul u know what tumhare sab doston ke bros and sis hai lekin tum mere ek bte ho , u r my only one aur jo only one hote hai voh hai special if u have anodr baby sis then u no more would be 'the only one' isiliye

Rids loves the way how sid switches to a childish tone to speak to a kids, she hasn't seen that in a long time so was enjoying this moment.

Rahul: but pa

Sid: good boys never say 'its ' or 'buts', they just hear what their pas's say'soo are u my lil good boy

Rids in her mind 'sid bhi bacho se khellte khelte kudhe bacha ban gaya hai, lekin he looks cute mera wooh purana cute doctor'

Rahul : yes pa

Sid: soo be good then and I will get you a surprise gift on the way back

Rahul: ah cool pa..thanks

Sid: gd nyt beta

Rahul: gd nyt a

Sid: love u

Rahul: love u too

Sid: bii

Rahul biii-bii

Sid hangs up and stares at the phone for a while with a cute smile, rids who is gazing at him admires this innocent smile of his.The mood in the car is now much more relaxed and calm, it seem like the convo with rahul has eased both sid and rids, and helped rids to overcome her previous memory from tonight..Sid realises that he is ment to be getting somewhere, so quicly turns his attention to the car and starts driving again.

Rids: rahul bahut he pyara bacha hai

Sid: hmm ( smiles) haaa bahut he pyara

They both smile , as they both drive down further the car stops behind a long stand cars,

R: kya hua

S: patha nahi ,age caro ki lambi line hai

sid lowers the glass on his windows and tries too look ahead but its raining heavily soo he canot keeps the open for long as water drips in..he half closes it and was about to close the rest when he saw a guy walk past him.He quicly lowers the glass again

S: aree bhayisab suniye thoo

Man:jee kahiye

S: kya ap batha sakthe hai ki yaha par ghadi kyon rukhi hai

Man: dekhiye yu hai ki age landslide ki vajaise road bandh ho gaya hai aur kal subah thake koyi ghadi nahi ja sakthi

S: ( he looks @ rids) we need to reach there tonight itself

Sid to the man: kya pahadi ke neeche pahunchane ka koyi aur rastha hai

Man: rastha hai thoo sehi lekin sadak uthni achi nahi hai aur jagae kafi sunsan bhi hai

S: kya ape batha sakthe hai ki voh kis taraf hai,,

Man: agar ape yaha se vapis drive karenge tho kuch he doori par ek turning dekoge, in pahadiyon me zayada turnings nahi hote tho ise dekh kar pehchan paoge, bus usi rasthe chalthe rehna pahunch javoge..

S: thanks bhayi sab

The man walks away and sid pulls the mirrior up..his hair is slightly wet because of the water that has dripped in

S to R: thoo kya kehthi ho us rasthe chele, hume vaha pahunchna bhi thoo hai samay par..

R: hmm thik hai lets goo

Sid looks around and finds a daba

S: tum kuch kavogi? Sooch raha thaa ki kyon na uss dabe mai chele kyon ki muje bahut bhook lagi hai

R: thik hai lets goo

Sid and rids gets out of the car and quickly runs to the daba, they watch the rain recalling the moment they last spend doing this.They then order the food and eat it,they order some tea ..both have a cup of tea in their hand..Rids recalls their first unoffical date when their car breaks down and they end up in a daba together'they both are silent and are watching the rain, when the woker boy walks in with the bill.Sid takes his wallet out to pay .She sees the picture of baby rahul in his wallet.as soon as they boy goes sid puts the change back and is about to put the wallet back when rids comments on rahul's picture,Bahut he cute picture

S: ha, this is from when he was 2yrs

R: sid kuch puchu

S: hmmm kaho ?

R: tumhari late patni, voh kaisi thee

S : ( looks away as he does not know what to answer but then decided to blank her) lets goo waqt par pahunchana na bhi hai.

This gave rids the clue that sid did not wanted to share with rids an aspects of his life,

S: chale ?

R: ha zaroor

They both get into the car ,Sid drives back and half a mile drive later they find the turning, they take the exit and find thmself driving through woods

R: this place is quite dark and a looks a bit creepy too

S: neva mind as long as we get there

The road on the way is no smooth so they keep bumping every now and then.After 30mins of drive the car comes to an hault..

R: sid kya hua, ghadi kyon roke dee

S: maine roki nahi kudh ruke gayi(Its still raining heavily outside) wait let me get outside and see whats wrong..

Sid grabs a small tourch ,gets out of the car and opens the fron't boot.he inspects the car and then returns back to his seat.

R: tum thoo gele hoo chuke hoo.. apna sar pooche loo vana sardi lage ayegi

S: ah! Don't worry( sid gets his hankerchief out and tries to dry his hair)

Ridhima voh lagta hai koyi techi problem hai aur mere tourch ki battery bhi khatam ho gayi iss liye teek se dekh bhi nahi paya..

R: hmm

S: gadhi kal subah takh teek nahi ho sakti as light is just not enough'

Sid lowers his glass again and sees a small hut at some distance..lagtha hai vaha par ek chota sa ghar hai,lets go in there and see if we can find any help.

Sid and rids get out of the car .He picks both their bags and head towards the hut..They rech the hut and by the time they reach there they both are completely drentched'They walk in and find no one in there, itscompletely dark.Sid finds a small spirit lamp in the corner and lights it.There were stacks of hay there..

S: lets stay here for tonight and then when sun comes out tomorrow morning I will get the car fixed and then we shall drive off

R: (shyly) yh okay

Sid finds some wood and assembling some hay to light some fire.He uses the spirit light to light a fire.He then says to rids 'this should keep us warm'.He looks up and finds rids completely drentched..,her eye liner lightly spread sround her eyes, he lips shivering in cold

S: omg! u are completely drentched, u should should perhaps change

Rids looks up in awckwardness

S: do u have any spare chlothes

R: ummm..yh there should be a salwar in the bag.

S: fine that's helpful..umm..umm I will go outside u can change meanwhile.

He doesn't wait for a reply and walks out of the hut and closes the door behind

S: thanku

R: tumhari shirt bhi beeg gayi hai,

S: hmm yh

Sid unbuttons his shirt slowly, revealin the black vest underneath,he untucks the shirt and slides it down,the black fabric was hidling his clearly definied masculine body that any women would desire for.Rids was finding it hard to keep her eyes off his smooth body.

Sid sits down on the hay opposite to rids and they share a brief eye lock

S:umm tum bayat javoo, he looks at his watch 9, rath kafi ho chuki hai, u can sleep in that corner and I will sleep here

Rids is a bit uncomfy

S: umm don't worry I won't ' ummm'near u ( looks away)

Brief silence and then

S: gd nyt

R: umm gd nyt

Sid lie down absorbed in his thoughts so is ridhima

After half an hour sid is still awake unable too sleep , he turns around to he sees rids all curled up , he opens his bag and takes his rug out , he picks it up and walks towards where ridhima is lying, she has fallen asleep. He covers her body in the rug and then looks at her face.This women is till beautiful as ever, those deep eyes that just speak more than her words does, those cheeks soft and smooth ..those lips, tender and sweet.Sid bends towards ridhima's face

S: yeh mai kya karne wala thaa..na jane kyon ajj bhi iss aurat ke liye mere dil kuch hai'arrrrgggggghh! I never wanted to be in this position again where I would ever be mentally or physically close to her but ..yeh zindagi..he walks outside and slides on apillar..saloo pehle maine esi he sath apna hath badaya tha dosti ke liye, lekin us din tum ne no dosti aur no friendship kehke hamre rishto ko koyi name nahi diya

Rids wakes up as chilly breeze blows into the room throught the door.She lifts her head and sees Sid standing outside.She sees the rug around her

R:yeh zaroor sid ne mere par dali hogi..voh aj bhi mere bare mai care khartha hai,( she closes her eyes recalling tht incident that happened earlier this evening when she was being chased,of how he hugged her and consoled her, their little moment of closeness) sid aj mai tumse bath karne ka haq bhi khoo chuki huu isliye tum se kuch pooch bhi nahi paa rehi.

Sid : bus kuch aur din fir mere is past se mai alvida keh dunga

Saying this sid straightens, he is no more leaning on the pillar, seeing this rids guesses that he may be retuning soon , she quickly lies down and closes her eyes pretending to sleep .Sid closes the door and comes back to where he was lying down before he glances at rids and closes his eyes as tight as possible sid to himself ' sid tera pyar kabhi essa nahi thaa, yeh kya ho reha hai muje I need to get myself undercontrol and sleep, he still finds it hard to sleep, he rolls to the other sid takes his wallet out of his back pocket, He looks at rahuls picture, slides it out of the wallet and holds it close to his heart .This helps him to sleep ,rids too soon drifts away to sleep.

The sun comes up its rays pass through the window on to rid's face she wakes up and finds sid still sleeping, she sees him holding a picture close to his heart, she decided to have a sneak, she goes around to where he was sleeping , slowly slides the picture of his hand such that he doesn't wake u, she turns it around to look up at the face and finds rahul there, Rids : sid realy loves his son and misses him a lot .She then slides it back in his hand and walks back to where she was lying.Few minutes later sid too wakes up , he fixes the car and they head for the village.They get the medical check up done and are are on their way back, they don't talk much apart from profetional matter.Sid suddenly remembers that he had to get a present for rahul, as promised before . So he pulls in infront of a shop.Sid turns the car off..

S: sorry ek minute muje kuch lena thaa

R: sure I will wait here

S: k thanks

Sid walks into the shop and gets his present.Meanwhile ridhima gets out of the car and looks around.sid in the shop, asks the sales assistant to wrap the present, he then pays the bill and walks out. He was few steps away from the car when rids saw him walking down she turns to face him, he keeps walking focusing his eyes on the road he was walking.Suddenly a breeze blows and Rid's dupatta is blown away it hits on Sid's face,Sid breathes in her sent.Rids sees this, she has her one arm crossed across her chest and she is looking the direction of sid.Sid puts his hand on the dupatta and slowly pulls it off his face. He holds it in his hand and looks at it.' Yeh sabe muje purane dino ki yad dilathe hai, voh yaden jinhe maine dafan kar dee thi', he looks at the dupatta and then on rids. He walks towards her , stops few steps away, he gazes into her eyes as if he had so much to tell but was holding back everything for some reason, he then gives it to rids and walks to the car. Rids accepts it, they both knew these were incidences from past being repeated but they did not wanted to speak about it.The journey back then was filled with silence,Sid drops her home and says a quick good bye and leaves, back home everyone is busy with the prepreations for the marriage.Its evening and sid's house is full of events . Mat hasn't seen neeta for few days now and is quite desperate to see her so he decides to bribe sid, he goes to sid.

S: kya Tum pagal ho agar hum vaha gaye thoo ladkiya humara kachoomar bana degi

Neeta grabs food and heads into her room, while rids is in the kitchen

R: oh neeta forgot to take water with her, probably I should go and give her that

Rids fetches a glass of water and gets upstairs she is outside neeta's room and was about to step in when she saw neet and matt feeding each other food, she steps back and watches them from a distance.They look so adorable together she thinks, rids decides to go into her room, she strolls around and thinks of the time when sid had come to see her by climbing and that unexpected kiss to shut her up.Rids places her hand on her cheeks to mesmerise that old feelings which she would get when those tender lips touches her skin

R:sid ithni rath ko yaha kya kar reha ha hai..hmm may he came with matt'I should go and speak to him..

Sid puts his headphones into his ear and turns his ipod on. He starts fiddling with it, he sees a shadow on the floor through the rear window and turns around to see who it is .It turns out to be ridhima.She was in her night gown with the jacket hung around her shoulders and rope left untited.She comes to the window and looks at sid.Sid takes his earphone out,looks up and then looks down again.

Sid gets out of the car shuts the door behind him,inserts the keep into the slought and turns around to face rids

Rids is all red and blushy as sid has finally agreed for once on something she said'they both walk though the pavements .Their hands collide fo a millisecond,they both feel the touch and look at each other but then the also feel awkward and they both look in differ from the eye contact.Sid looks around while rids glances at him.

Sid: ummm

R: chale

S: sure

Sid and rids walk together towards the house,they reach the steps on the front of the house and stop.Sid puts his hand in a geature saying 'after u'

Then they both enter the house, there is an awckward silence as they both do not know what to say

R( turns around)'umm take a seat

Sid and rids who are listening to this conversation have those old feelings warming up which they both buried long time ago, they look at each other and then look away

Matt bends to give neeta a quick kiss on her cheeks

Matt turn around from neeta and walks towards sid in a gesture as to leave

N: who suno matt..ek aur bath next time milne avoge tho door se ana pipe se nahi

Sid and rids look up they stare at each other and then look away,sid turns so that he could hide his expressions both were aware that neeta's last statement reminded them of their cute romantic moment, when 'sid came through the doors and ended up kissing rids' although they both are looking in opposite directions but their minds have the same image and hearts share the same thought..

S: looking without looking at either of the ladies acha guies we are leaving bye.

Both guies turn around and start walking away towards the door they are followed by the ladies who have decided to walk them to the door.When the guies reach the door rids call sid from behind

R: sid

S turns around : huu ?

R: voh apna dyan rakhna

S: ( turns back )hmm sure ( with a head down disappointed face)

Gd nyt..

R: gd nyt

Sid and matt get into the car and drive away they both look in the direction until the car vanishes off from their vision.Sid and matt reach home quickly.rids drifts awayto sleep thinking about sid' kabhi sid mujse milne esse he kabhi aya karta thaaa,she has a smile, mai yeh kya lekar bayat gayi huu'.sid will go back soon..i should not be thinking about all these things.
