One day Shehnaaz and Rohit were standing outside their university. After they bid goodbye to their friends, Rohit started his bike. Shehnaaz was staring at the university building.
"Kya hua Sana? Baithegi nahi?" Rohit asked.
Shehnaaz was still looking at the building as she was lost in her thoughts.
"Sanaaa... Kya dekh rahi hai aise?"
"Humari university ko. Bohut zald humare Master's khatam ho jayenge. Phir bohut miss karungi isko." Shehnaaz said.
Rohit also looked there and smiled.
"True. Iske baad hum sab log apne apne careers mein busy ho jayenge. Lekin yeh din bohut yaad aayenge. School, college, university inki ek alag hi baat hai." Rohit said.
"Hmm. Pehle sochti thi ki kab yeh sab padhai vadhai khatam hogi. Lekin ab lag raha hai kuch zyada hi zaldi sab kuch khatam hogaya." Shehnaaz said while sitting on the bike.
"Waise padhai kab khatam hogi yeh tere jaise backbenchers hi soch sakte hai. Mere jaisa class ka first boy yeh sab kabhi nahi sochta." Rohit said and started driving.
"Bada aaya first boy. Waise Master's complete karne ke baad tera aage ka plan kya hai? Ab yeh mat bolna ki tu teaching line mein jaayega. I don't want ki mera pati koi khadoos teacher yaa professor ho."
"Arrey nahi nahi. Main toh ek acchi si office mein job karunga. Aur tu kya karegi? Job toh tujhe milegi nahi."
"Karna bhi nahi hai job. Mujhe toh singer ban na hai, bilkool Sidharth Shukla ki tarah."
"Phir se Sidharth Shukla, Sidharth Shukla. Ek minute bhi uska naam liye bina nahi reh sakti kya tu?"
"Nahi reh sakti. Tujhe koi problem hai?"
"Mujhe kya problem hogi. Lekin sirf bolne se kuch nahi hota. Mehnat karna padhta hai Sidharth Shukla ban ne ke liye."
"Kar toh rahi hoon. Apne youtube channel pad roz videos dalti hoon, jaha singing competition hota hai participate karti hoon, thode bohut shows bhi karti hoon but phir bhi kuch nahi ho raha. Meri kismat hi kharab hai."
"Insaan ko apni kismat khud likhni padti hai. Tu struggle karti rahe. Ekdin zaroor tu badi star banegi. Uss Sidharth Shukla se bhi badi."
"Haaye sacchi? Lekin mujhe uss se bada nahi ban na. Main toh bas uske saath kaam karna chahti hoon. Rohit, mere sapne poore karne mein tu mera saath dega na?"
"Humesha."
Shehnaaz smiled.
"Accha sun, mujhe ghar nahi jaana."
"Matlab? Ghar nahi jaayegi toh kaha jaayegi?"
"Kahi date par le chal na. Waise hi bohut din hogaye hum eksaath ghumne nahi gaye."
"Ek idea hai mere paas. Pehle park mein chalte hai. Waha thodi der ghumenge, phirenge, ice cream khayenge. Phir hum dono movie dekhne jaayenge. Aur laut te waqt ek acche se restaurant mein dinner. How's it?"
"Superb idea. Love you yaar." Shehnaaz said excitedly.
Like they said, they spent the whole evening together.
They went to park, then movies after that they entered a restaurant. But suddenly Shehnaaz stopped and started looking everywhere.
"Kya hua Sana?" Rohit asked.
"Yaar yeh tu mujhe kaha le aaya?" Shehnaaz asked.
"Restaurant."
"Yaar tera dimaag kharab hai? Dekh ke hi paata chal raha hai kitni mehengi hai yeh jagah. Hum yeh effort nahi kar sakte." Shehnaaz said.
Rohit laughed.
"Tu bhi na Sana. Kuch nahi hoga. Thode paise zyada lagenge main de dunga, don't worry. Aaj main bohut khush hoon. Jitna khana hai khaa le." Rohit said.
"Rohit meri baat toh sun...."
Rohit didn't let her finish. He pulled her hand and made her sit at a table. A waiter came and asked about their order.
"Bol Sana kya khayegi?" Rohit asked Shehnaaz.
"Mujhe kuch thik nahi lag raha Rohit..."
"Accha main hi order karta hoon."
Rohit ordered their food. Shehnaaz was hell tensed. Rohit noticed that and said, "Chill yaar, relax. Dekh kitna sundar mahol hai. Saste restaurants mein yeh sab kaha milta hai. Tu bas maze le."
Shehnaaz tried to smile.
After sometime the waiter came with food. Shehnaaz widened her eyes after seeing the food.
"Tu pagal hai? Itna sara order kar diya. Kaun khayega yeh sab?"
"Jitna khana hai khaa na." Rohit said and started eating.
Shehnaaz had no option left. She also started eating.
After sometime Shehnaaz asked, "Waise price kya hai inn sab ki?"
"Oops! Price check karna toh main bhul hi gaya." Rohit said.
"Kyaaa? Ab sacchi tere ko joote marungi main. Haaye rabba kaha phasa diya."
"Don't worry. Main abhi dekh leta hoon. Waise bhi kitna hoga?"
Rohit opened the menu chart and said, "Toh price hai...."
He suddenly stopped and started reading it again and again.
"Kya hua?" Shehnaaz asked.
"Oo umm..." Rohit looked at Shehnaaz with guilty face. "Sana price bohut hai. Mere paas itne nahi hai. But I know tere paas honge"
Shehnaaz took the menu chart. After reading it she shouted, "ITNE PAISEEEE? Kamine, mujhe paata tha tu mujhe marwayega. Ab kaha se laau itne paise?"
"Mujhe kya paata tha khaane ki bill itni zyada hoti hai?"
"Maine kitni baar bola. Rohit main keh deti hoon main bartan nahi majungi."
"Mujhe bhi koi sauk nahi hai. Iss se pehle koi dekhe, chal bhaagte hai yaaha se."
They both tried to escape without paying but the manager stopped them.
"Arrey kaha jaa rahe hai aap log? Pay toh kar di jiye." The manager said.
"Woh..Umm.... mmm"
Both Rohit and Shehnaaz stammered.
"Kya hua?"
Suddenly Rohit started making faces and behaved like a mad.
"Sir, are you okay?" The manager became afraid.
"Sir, woh isko na aise hi dauda padhta hai. Ghar jaake injection dena padega tabhi yeh thik hoga." Shehnaaz said.
"Lekin..."
"Agar aap chahte hai ki apki restaurant mein kuch nuksaan na ho toh humein jaane di jiye. Warna yeh sab kuch barbaad kar dega. Chal Rohit." Shehnaaz and they immediately left.
The manager stood like a fool.
After coming outside, both started laughing.
"Yeh idea mast tha yaar." Shehnaaz said.
"Akhir idea kiska hai. Waise tujhe bhukh nahi lagi?"
"Lagi toh hai. Kha hi nahi paayi thik se. Sab teri wajah se hua hai."
"Chal kahi chal ke bada paav khaate hai."

Sidharth and Sonia went to a five star restaurant. As soon as Sidharth entered, everyone rushed to him and started taking selfies. Some took his autograph. But Sonia wasn't liking it at all as none was giving her attention. Only a few people asked her, "Aap Sidharth Shukla ki girlfriend ho na?" Which made her more angry.
After all these, finally Sidharth and Sonia sat at a table.
"What to do you want to order?" Sidharth asked Sonia.
"Anything" Sonia said while looking at the phone.
Sidharth gave the order.
Then Sidharth looked at Sonia. Sidharth tried to talk but Sonia was too much busy in her phone. After sometime Sidharth said, "Bohut dino baad hum log date pad aaye hai. Aaj toh at least phone ko band rakho."
Sonia looked at Sidharth angrily. "Kaam ki baat chal rahi hai. Ab iss date ki wajah se woh bhi naa karu?"
"I never said that. Lekin kuch time toh humein inn sab ko side mein rakh ke ek dusre ko time dena chahiye. Mere bhi kaam hai lekin maine bhi toh time nikala hai."
Sonia gave a sarcastic smile.
"Tumhare liye bolna asaan hai. You're quite famous. Mujhe bhi apne career mein aage badhna hai. Aur mujhe apne kaam pad sabse zyada focus karna padega. That's my first priority."
"Aur main? Am I not your priority?"
"Again you started. You know what Sid? Tum chahte hi nahi ho ki main life mein kuch karu. Tumhe accha lagta hai jab log mujhe 'Sidharth Shukla ki girlfriend' bolte hai. Aaj bhi sab log tumhara hi autograph le rahe the. Singer Sonia Rathee ko toh koi jaanta hi nahi."
"Aisa nahi hai Sonia. Tum galat samajh rahi ho."
"Aisa hi hai. Aur mujhe yaaha tumhare saath time waste nahi karna. Iss se accha main apne kaam pad focus karu. Bye." Sonia said and stood up.
"Wait, where are you going? Ok, I'm sorry. But aise mat jaao. Yeh saara arrangement maine tumhare liye hi kiya hai. Don't spoil this date." Sidharth said. He wanted to stop her anyhow.
"This is already spoilt" Sonia said and left.
She went outside and called someone,
"I'm coming baby... Yeah our so called 'Date' is cancelled... Haan main aati hoon... Wait for me... I love you.."
Late at Night...
Sidharth parked his car near a bridge and started roaming here and there. He was continuously thinking about Sonia.
"Yaar kitni koshis kar raha hoon iss relationship ko aage le jaane ke liye. Kitne efforts daal raha hoon. I just want her happy. Uska muskurata hua chehra dekhne ke liye maine itna arrangements kiya. Socha tha woh khush ho jaayegi. School time se hi usne jab jo manga maine diya. Every moment I tried to prove my love for her. Kya phir bhi mujh mein hi koi kami reh gayi jo aaj humari relationship iss stage par aa chuki hai?" Sidharth said in his mind.
Suddenly he saw two people at the other side of the road. They were eating bada paav. They were laughing and doing a lot of fun. Sidharth smiled looking at them.
"Such a cute couple! Kuch log kitni choti si baat pad khush ho jaate hai. Main Sonia ko five star restaurant pad le gaya but still she wasn't happy. And look at them. Roadside pad bada paav khaa rahe hai. But they are happy. It's again proved that money can't bring happiness. Only true love can. Sonia is my first love, but is she my true love?" Sidharth said in his mind.
