Chapter 76 : Everything comes with a Price

SCENE 1


In the corridor, we see the students wearing their drama uniform. Few of our heroes are seen clustered in a certain spot where Vidurshi was jumping with joy telling how excited she was about this trip to the others. As Utkarsh and few others taunted Vidurshi for being able to go for a foreign tour fully sponsored by school, Shreya notices Gautam talking in the phone looking stressed and running his index ringer and thumb on his forehead.


On the other hand, the gang playfully told that everything comes with a price and hence, something terrible will surely happen in the trip. Knowing how much Vidurshi believed the fact and realising it made her worry, Angela stood up for Vidurshi and ensured that her Friends didn't tease her anymore.


At that moment, Vidyut along with the rest of the gang joins the them. Seeing her brother, Vidurshi smiles and tells everyone that nothing bad can ever happen as she was not going alone and the person coming with her wouldn't let anything happen to her. Everyone except Angela, Vidurshi, Vidyut and Roban start coughing teasingly.


As a confused Vidurshi looks at Angela, Trishna teases Vidurshi for having so much trust on Rohan, implying that it was Rohan who was coming with her and not her brother, Vidyut.


As Vidurshi stares at Vidyut, he explains how he was meaning to tell her later. He explains how he felt Rohan was more deserving. As Utkarsh was noding his head, Vidurshi was giving him a cold stare. Niti hit him with her elbow and signalling him towards Utkarsh. Utkarsh gives a funny look and turns away. Occasionally, he looked at Vidurshi to confirm she was still staring.


During this, Shreya notices Gautam talking in the phone looking stressed and running his index ringer and thumb on his forehead. He looked at the students and instructed them to go in. As the students moved in, Utkarsh walks to Vidurshi and asks what happened. Vidurshi in a devilish tone "Kya hua? Kyaa huaaaa! You. Did. This. Youuuu" she said as if she was gonna strangle Utkarsh when Angela pulled her away and told her to calm down as she dragged her into the room. Parth and Niti comes to Utkarsh's left and right respectively and take a shocked Utkarsh to the room too.




SCENE 2


Gautam entered the class and informed them that the day's class was not going to be him teaching, but them practicing on each other. As the students started practicing on each other, Gautam sat in his chair looking tensed and wondering what his boss had told him. His boss had spent enough time and resources on Gautam for the case that haven't even gone to court yet.


"You're a Lawyer. And not a Detective" were his exact words.


As the class was practicing, Shreya took a break and went to Gautam to talk. Gautam, in frustration stated that he got strict orders from his boss to finish his part time job at Warrior high and come back to his job at the Law firm or he would be fired. Shreya advises him that may be he should convince them that it was important to him and that it would later benefit the firm too. But Gautam replies that no one is ready to wait.


When Shreya tells him to have hope as what he is doing is a selfless act for a good cause, Gautam rebukes, then silences down and tells "Stop saying that doll. If you think about it, ismey balayi kisika hai? Mera. My own case. My career. My recognition. This question keeps poping in my head, Why do you say you are doing this for her, when you are doing it for yourself? Shayad main apni hu swaat ke liye kar rah hoon and that's why I'm not able to proceed"


"You're right" Shreya said "Benefit toh bohat hi hogi tumhari. But jab tum apne Lawyer waaley role letey ho. Tab. Par jo tum kar rahe ho. Itni mehnat, Itna daat aur Out of the way jaake help, yeh sab kuch tum apney liye nahi, ek anjaan ladki ke liye kar rahe ho. And may be you are getting something out of this. But that doesn't make you selfish. It makes you a great insaan"


She gets up and turns back and says "Agar Siyali hoti, toh woh bhi yahi kehti" Gautam looks up and gives a strange look while Shreya winks and gets back to practice.




SCENE 3


"Gautam sir" a voice screeched out of the crowd. Concerned, Gautam walks towards the voice and asked Krissan what the problem was. A frustrated Krissan says "Like Really sir? This class is ridiculous. All we do is practice." and looks at Lucky as she continued "When do we get to hit these guys?" When asked why, Trishna joined and complained how the guys were making fun of them that they are never gonna actually be able to beat them. All the girls seconded them that it was the same in their cases too. "Sir, Let's stop this and kick some..." Gautam with widened eyes stopped her "Language!" He promised the girls that today they were actually going to try fighting with a guy.


The girls shout in excitement while the boys shout back in resentment. After all the arguments, they came to a conclusion of just 1 match between a guy the boys choose and a girl, the girl chose and it's done. As the boys were choosing a person, each of them try to dodge saying a certain girl would surely kill them if given the chance.


When Sid was told to go, he sarcastically laughed and "Kyun? Mere ko Ladkiyon ki haat se pitana hai kya?" to which Charlie questions "Tujhe kaun marega bhai?" To this, Sid faces the girls and questions "Girls! Raise of hands. Boys side se agar main aa'oon toh, Who would like to come?" Almost 75% of the girls raise their hands wanting to beat Sid up.


So the guys decide to choose someone who hasn't pissed off girls. Utkarsh was their 1st choice but Utkarsh insisted there was a girl who would kill him is she had a chance. In his words "Mujhe dhokey, kambey pe lak kakey clip tak dalegi" Parth was their 2nd choice but Parth was scared if he would loose his cool and hit the girl back. And so he backed out.


After scratching out everyone and even after Rohan's continuous denial, He was sent from the boys side. When Gautam asked who wanted to fight against him, to everyone's surprise, Vidurshi volunteered starting she wanted to try.


As Vidurshi stood facing Rohan with burning rage in her eyes, Rohan stood having conflicted thoughts that Vidurshi won't hit him but then why did she volunteer.


Back in the audience, the gang was giving their opinion staring with Utkarsh commenting on how cute Vidurshi was that she didn't want anyone hitting Rohan that she volunteered to save him. "You wish!" Angela gave him a look that he was being naive. The conversation led to a bet that Vidurshi would never hit Rohan in which all of them bet that Vidurshi would not even hurt a flee and never Rohan while Angela bet on Rohan getting atleast 1 punch.
