The pub is a place which takes you to a different world. It helps you to forget all the worries, all the tension you have. Some people come here to enjoy, to celebrate or to have fun. But some people come here to forget their sorrow.

A man was drinking at the bar and he was lost in a deep thought. Suddenly some other men and women joined him. They were his office colleagues, Tarun, Sameer, Vikram, Aditi and Renu.

"Kya yaar Sidharth Bhai? Aap yaha akele akele drink kar rahe ho? Arrey humein bhi kuch offer vagera karo." Tarun said.

"True Sidharth. Promotion tumhari hui hai aur isliye aaj ki party tum humein de rahe ho." Renu said.

Sidharth smiled and said, "Tum logo ka dance khatam hoga tab toh drink offer karunga. Chalo ab sab apna apna order karlo, I'll pay."

Everyone ordered drinks for themselves.

"Waise Sidharth ki kismat bohut acchi hai. Itne kam age mein vice president ban gaya, not bad." said Aditi.

"Kismat nahi isse bolte hai talent. Waise iss promotion ki wajah se Sidharth ka transfer Delhi mein ho raha hai. Tere bina office bohut khali khali lagega." Sameer said.

"Yeah. We will really miss you." Renu said.

"Miss toh main bhi karunga. Mumbai se Delhi, apni family se dur, tum logo se dur, it will be tough for me to adjust there. Seriously mera kahi jaane ka mann nahi hai..... Khas kar ki Delhi." Sidharth said and again he became lost in deep thought.

"Aisa kyu?" Vikram asked.

Sidharth didn't reply.

After sometime Aditi said, "Guys let's play something."

"What?" Renu asked.

"Umm.... Truth or Dare."

Everyone agreed to play.

"First Sidharth's turn. Kyu ki aaj ki party uske honour pe hai." Aditi said.

"No way. Main yeh sab nahi khel raha."

"Sidharth please."

"Haan please Sidharth Bhai."

"Khelte hai nah yaar."

"Okay okay. Batao kya karna hai." Sidharth said.

"First choose Truth or Dare." Aditi said.

"Dare se toh main dur hi thik hoon. Truth will be safer. Truth."

"Okay so you have to answer the question I will ask. Lekin jo bhi bolna sach bolna. So......who was the first girl you proposed?"

"Yeh kaisa sawal hai?"

"You have to say. Tumne truth choose kiya hai."

"Ok. She was in my college."

"Thoda details mein bataiye." Tarun said.

"Uska naam Shehnaaz tha. Pyaar se hum sab Sana bulate the. Woh jab college mein aayi thi that was my final year. First day when I saw her, I just fell for her."

"Ohho love at first sight!" Renu said.

"Exactly. Woh baki ladkiyon se kaafi alag thi. Chup chap si rehti thi, humesha apne books ke saath busy rehti thi. There was a different type of innocence in her eyes. Bas itna keh sakta hoon ki lakhon logo ki bheed mein bhi woh alag se nazar aati thi. Aisi thi Sana, jise dekh kar kisi bhi bande ko pyaar ho jaye." Sidharth said and started thinking about his Sana.

"Phir tune usse propose kaise kiya?" Sameer asked.

"Woh nahi baata sakta." Sidharth said.

"Kyu? We are your friends. Humein toh baatana hi padega." Aditi said.
