Next day after college.

Elena: Sona?? All set??

Sona: Me thodi na jung ladne jaa rahi hu. Sirf coffee ke liye bulaaya he usne.

Elena: Haa haa...I wish me invisible hokar tum logo ki baathe sun paathi.

Sona: Waapas aake detail me saari baathe kahungi. Teek he? Ab mujhe aur nervous math bana!

Elena: Accha..uss din basketball court me..aur kal canteen me baathe karthe wakth nervous nahi huvi thi?

Sona: Isshh..Chupp kar na..Chalo me nikalthi hu. Wait kar raha hoga.

Elena: Ok ok..Bye..All d besst!

Sona: Bye!

As soon as Sona leaves ,Elena calls Arjun.

Elena: Arjun..tum pahunch gaye na coffee shop?

Arjun: Haa..par mujhe yaha aane kyu kaha? Dev aur Sona yahi milne waale he na?

Elena: Haa..par tum wahi kahi aas paas rehna. Agar kuch gadbad ho gaya toh ...i hope so nahi hoga..! Lekin phir bhi , tumhara waha rehne se tum instantly uski help kar paoge. Isliye. Jaise hi unki date finish ho jathi he ya agar kuch bhi hua toh mujhe inform karna...teek he?

Arjun: Okay fine. Dont worry. I wil let you know.

After around 15 mins Elena receives Arjunz call.

Elena: Arjun...Dont tell me..ithni jaldhi koi date finish ho sakthi he? Ye Sona bhi na!

Arjun: Elena...Sona Dev se mili hi nahi. Wo chali gayi...

Elena: Whatt! Wo aayi hi nahi?

Arjun: Aayi thi..par aathe hi wapas chali gayi.

Elena: Aathe hi chali gayi ka kya mathlab he?

Arjun: Wo actually usne Dev ke saath us Shefali ko dekh liya.

Elena: Shefali!!!!! Ab ye kaun he...Kahi ye wo tho nahi jo Sona ko college me torture kiya karthi thi?

Arjun: Right!!

Elena: Ab ye kaha se aa gayi. Aur Dev ke sath!!?

Arjun: Patha nahi yar...Actually un dono ko pehle bhi maine sath me dekha tha.

Elena: What!! Arjun..ye sab tum ab keh rahe ho! Ye janthe huve ki us Shefali ka naam sunthe hi Sona ki kya haal ho jaathi he!

Arjun: Haa Eli! Par I din know ki aisa kuch hoga. Aur Shefali aisi entry maaregi.I guess hume Sona ke paas jana chahiye. Use zaroorath he humari.

Elena: Nahi..abhi Sona ko thodi dher akele rehne dethe he. Waise wo Dev abhi he waha pe?

Arjun: Haa..Shefali kuch hi minute pehle chali gayi.

Elena: Tu us Dev ko wahi pakad ke baito. Me abhi aathi hu!

Arjun: Elena..par..

Elena: Me jo kehthi hu..wo karo..aur use kuch math bathaana. Teek he?

Arjun: Okay!

At the coffee shop.

Dev: Arjun..yaar ithne saalo baadh mile ho aur aise muh latkaake baite ho. Baath kya he?

Arjun: Waise tu kis ka wait kar raha tha?

Dev: Wo..Sona...

Right at that moment Elena comes fuming in anger.

Elena: Sonakshi se Sona!! Dont you dare. Usse coffee pe bulake uski insult karwana chahthe ho!?

Dev( confused): Hold on..! Ye kya bole jaa rahi ho?Aur Sonakshi kaha he?

Elena and Arjun: Wo chali gayi.

Dev: Par kyu? Thabiyath tho teek he na uski?Aur Arjun tu Sonakshi ko jantha he?

Arjun: Haa..meri bachpan ki dosth he.

Elena: Uski thabiyath to tumne bhigaadi he uske sauthan ko invite karke!

Dev: Yaar Arjun..ye kya keh rahi he?

Arjun: Ye Shefali kya kar rahi thi tumhare sath?

Dev: Wo..actually kal hi Mumbai se waapas aayi he. So milne aa gayi. Ye batha Sona kaha he?

Elena: Ye tu kis hakh se usse "Sona" keh rahe ho? Shefali ko tumhare sath dekhkar patha nahi kya haal hua hoga uska.

Dev:Sona kyu nahi keh saktha? Apni he...aur ye Shefali ka usse kya connection he?

Elena: Apni??? Oh please!! Wo bechari abhi abhi pyaar ke ehsaas ko jee hi rahi thi ki..!

Dev(happily surprised): What!! Sach me?? Me bhi toh Sona se...

Elena: "Sona"? Phir se?

Arjun: Eli..please thodhi dher chup nahi reh sakthi. Usse baath karne toh dhe.

Arjun: Ab bathao Dev...

Dev: Pehle Shefali se Sona ko kya problem he..ye bathao.

Arjun: Actually wo..college ke dino me wo aur uske dosth Sona ko thang kia karthe the..Sirf Sona ko hi nahi..par Sona ko kuch zyadha hi torture kar rahe the..

Dev: I knew that. Isiliye Shefali ke parents ne use Mumbai bhej diya higher studies ke liye. Wo waise hi he. Apne se zyadha talented ya usske takkar ke logo se use kuch zyadha hi problem he. Patha nahi ab wo sudhri he ya nahi par its sad to know ki Sonakshi had to go through all that. And yeahhh..Shefali sirf meri friend he. Humare hi apartment me rehthi so..I know her like that..Aur kuch nahi..

Elena: Jhoot!!

Dev: Arey yar..me jhoot kyu bolunga?Arjun samjhana yar ise..!

Arjun: Eli..wo jhoot kyu bholega? Par ab Sona ko ye sab samjhana ithna easy nahi he.

Dev: Exactly. Shefali ko yaha dekhna Sona ke liye...

Elena: Phir se Sona kaha tumne?

Dev: Yaar ab me usse pyaar kartha hu toh..Sona bhula hi saktha hu na!!!?

Elena and Arjun: What!? Tu bhi?

Dev: Kyu ?nahi karna chahiye tha? Wo bhi mujhse pyar karthi he na?

Elena: Haa..but even you?

Dev: Haa..isiliye toh maine usse yaha coffee pe bulaaya tha.

Arjun: Mazak tho nahi kar raha he na?

Dev: Nahi yaar sachh me! Saalo pehle use maine dekha tha na..thab hi pasandh thi. Par aage jaake kabhi milna hi nahi hua. Phir jab yaha iss college me dekha..thab me ithna kush hua tha..ki me batha nahi saktha. Yaha bhi teek se mulaakath nahi ho payi. Sirf dhoor se dekhna hi naseeb tha. And finally uss din basketball court pe mili. Uss din ko shayadh hi me kabhi bhool paunga. Ithna maza aaya tha! Aur uska wo victory dance! Jaise uske andhar ka koi bachha naach raha ho! Time ka patha hi nahi chaltha jab me uske sath hotha hu. Aur khud se zyadha doosro ki fikar karthi he. Aur uss din mandhir me..aur canteen me! Uske sath baathe share karna ithna easy ho jatha he. Me usually apne puraane dino ko recollect karke baathe karna hesitate kartha hu..but not with Sona. No hesitation , no worry aur na koi confusion , bus mann kartha he ki usse baathe karthe rahu. Haa maine notice kia..ki wo apne college ke dino ki baathe nahi kahi! Now I know why..! But seriously I treasure every moment that I spent with her. Jab me waha se gaya na , thab maine realise kia..SHE IS ONE OF A KIND. Aur me usse apne se door nahi rakhna chahtha. So...

And he sees Arjun and Elena looking at him as if he is naratting some movie incident.

Elena: Kya sahi choice kia he Sona ne!

Dev: Accha..ab thak to gaali de rahi thi..achaanak se thareef kaise?

Elena: Wo..mujhe todhi na patha tha..ye saari inside stories!

Arjun: Chalo ye achha hua ki Dev bhi Sona se pyar kartha he. Par ab Sona ko kaun samjhayega aur manayega?? Me aur Elena agar kuch kahenge toh I dont think wo maanegi. Use yahi lagega ki hum use convince karne ke liye keh rahe he. Aur aaj wo shaayadh Dev se bhi baath karne raazi nahi hogi. Kuch toh sochna padega.

Elena: Me call karke dekhu?

Dev: Yea ..Atleast hume idea to milega ki wo soch kya rahi he.

Elena quickly dials Sona. But Sona doesnt receive calls. Even Arjun tries but all in vain. She receives the call after numerous attempts by Elena.

Elena: Sona..phone kyu nahi uta nahi rahi thi? All good?

Sona: Hmm..

Elena: Sona..kuch bol na baba..ye kya hmmm hmm me jawab de rahi ho?

Sona: Hmm..

Elena: Phir se..?Sona..

Sona: Me badh me call karthi hu.. And she disconnects the call.

Dev: Kya hua..? Sona teek tho he?

Elena: Nahi yaar. Wo teek se baath bhi nahi kar rahi. We need to plan something. Me use aise nahi dekh sakthi.

Dev and Arjun: Exactly..! Sochthe he kya kia jaa saktha he.

Later in the night. Saurabh enters Sona's room.

Saurabh(worried): Sona..! Elena ka phone aaya tujhe?

Sona: Haa..kya hua aap ithne tensed kyu lag rahe ho?

Saurabh: Jaldhi chalo. Wo keh rahi thi waha tumhare college me kuch ladaai chal rahi he aur Arjun waha phass gaya he!

Sona(worried): Kya?? Arjun waha kaise? Zaroor mere baare me poochne aaya hoga. Aur me hu ki phone pe teek se baath bhi nahi kia. Chaliye dada jaldhi.

Sona and Saurabh reach the college but they find no one around.

Saurabh: Sona..yaha tho koi nahi he! Kahi mazaak tho nahi..

Sona: Nahi dada..wo shaam se call kar rahi thi..par maine receive hi nahi kiya.. 20 baar se zyadha call kar chuki he..

Saurabh: Tu ithni careless kab se ho se hone lagi. Ek baar pooch lena chahiye tha na. Ab thak toh sab chale gaye honge. Ithni dher thodi na aise college me fight chalegi?! Tu bhi na..!

Sona notices some light near the college grounds.

Sona: Dada waha shayadh koi he. Me dekhke aathi hu.

Saurabh: Teek he..par sambhalke.

Sona reaches the grounds , but finds nobody around.

Sona: Ye sab ho kya raha he! Mujhe atleast ek baar teek se baath kar leni chahiye thi. Agar Arjun ko kuch ho gaya tho me kya karu? Wo humesha mera help kartha he..aur me?? Elena aur Arjun mere liye concerned the aur mera haal poochne call kia hoga..aur me aisa kaise kar sakthi hu! Aur Dev! Wo Shefali uski dosth bhi ho sakthi he na.. Me aise kaise bina kuch soche samjhe chali gayi waha se? Coffee pe usne hi bhulaaya tha ..aur Shefali uski kuch lagthi bhi toh Arjun mujhe batha detha..! Aur me sab ab soch rahi hu..jab sab kuch khatham ho gaya..!

Sonakshi feels guilty and she falls on her knees weeping. She looks at the stars in the sky.

Sona: Me humesha aap ko hi dosh de rahi thi jab bhi mere sath kuch galath hotha tha. Par is baar , aap sahi the. Sab kuch sahi tha , maine hi bhigaad diya!

And she continues sobbing. She feels a hand on her shoulder. Thinking its Saurabh she hugs him tight and continues crying.

Sona: Me aise kaise kar sakthi hu dada! Bahuth galath kiya maine Elena Arjun aur Dev ke sath! Bahuth galath.

" Galath tho kia he tumne mujhse ye bath chupakar ki tu mujhse pyaar karthi he" .

Sona realise that it was not Saurabh whom she was hugging. She sees it is Dev.

Sona: Dev!! Aap yaha..!! Iss wakth?

Dev: Haa..yaha meri Sona ithni thakleef me he..aur me na aavu? He wipes off the tears from her face.

Dev: Maine kya kaha tha aapse? Ki aap muskuraathe huve acchi lagthi he! Rothe huve nahi.. Chalo ek colgate smile dedho fataafat se!

Sona: Nahi!

Dev: Arey..kyu?? Waise mujhe tumse naraz hona chahiye..aap coffee pe aayi nahi aur yaha ulta aap mujse naraz ho rahi he.

And he turns his face away.

Sona: Wo..actually...

Dev: Me sab kuch jaan chuka hu. Aap Shefali ko dekh ke waha se chali gayi.

And then he tells her how he got to know about her past days and that Shefali is just his friend.

Sona: Me kithni jhalli hu! bina kuch soche waha se chali gayi.. I am soo sorry. And she holds her ears apologizing.

Dev: Areeyy..Sona..dont be sorry.. Me samajh saktha hu. Aur ye kya abhi bhi roye jaa rahe ho. Mujhe meri girl friend rothe huve achhi nahi lagthi.

Sona(surprised): Girl friend??

Dev: Kab se tumhe Sona Sona keh raha hu...tumhe hint diye jaa raha hu. Wo tumhari pagal dosth ek baar me hi samajh gayi!

Sona couldnot just beleive what was happening. Moments ago she felt she had lost everything but the very next moment everything seemed just right. She did not know what to say and hugged him tight. In his embrace she felt she was in the most safest place in the entire universe. Dev could understand her emotions and he places a peck on her forehead.

He wanted the moment to freeze for that moment. In the late night , under the stars , his Sona in his arms. It was picture perfect!!

Just then SURPRRIIISSSEEE!!! Screamed Elena and Arjun!

Dev: Areey Yaarrr!! Ithna accha moment tha..bhigaad diya tum dono ne!! Sona(confused): Ye sab ho kya raha he? Arjun tum teek ho? Eli?? Dont tell me ye sab tum logo ka plan tha!!

Elena : Aww...You know us soo well..!! Aur hum bhi kya karthe?Phone bhi nahi utaa rahi thi..aur utaane par bhi baath nahi karthi thi.So ye karna hi pada!!

Dev: Par thodi dher badh nahi aa sakthe the??

Arjun: Achha beta? Waha machharo ne kaat kaat ke bura haal kar diya..aur tumhe romance ki padi he!

Sona: Wo sab teek he. Par tum dono ye dande leke kyu aaye ho?

Elena: Wo kya he na...tu ithni jaldhi koi bath manthi nahi. So socha ki dande leke chalthe he...isse atleast tera dhimaag tikhane me aa jayega!

Sona: Haww! Patha bhi he ro ro ke kya haal jo gaya tha mera..!

Elena: Aww..ab ye sab chodo. Alls well that ends well!!

And they all share a group hug.

Saurabh: Arey bhai! Me bhi plan me shaamil tha!

Sona: Aap bhi!!??

Saurabh: Meri Sona ke kushi ke liye kabhi bhi!

Since it was already late, they all leave home.

Just when Sona reaches her room. She receives Dev'z message.

" Mujhe wo 3 magical words sunna he!".

Sona blushes looking at it.

She replies: ILYSM!!

Dev- Sona? R u fine??

Sona- ILYSM = I LOVE YOU SO MUCH dumbo!!

Dev- Aww..! ILYSM too!!

Sona silently thanks her stars that destined her life with such beautiful moments and more than beautiful people.
