Chapter 78 : My Lips are Sealed

Utkarsh and Angela are seen walking to the mess,




U - Yeh Vidurshi ke dimaag mein chal Kya Raha hai? I'm curious.


He looks at Angela who didn't seem to show much interest.




U - Tum jaanti ho na? (Acting kiddish) Angelaaa! Batha'o naaa! Vidurshi aur Rohan ke beech mein kya chalraha hai? Bathaaa'ooo naaa!!


Utkarsh insisted acting cute and kiddish. Angela laughed at his reactions and




A (teases) - For a guy, tum gossips mein kuch zyada hi interested ho. Nahi?


U - Concerned Hoon. Apney friend ke liye main chinta nahi karoonga toh kaun karega. (Acting angry) Aur tu na sab kuch jaanti hai. Par bathati nahi hai.


A - Utkarsh. It's not my secret to share.


U (Immitating) - Teacher Ne nahi sikhaya? Sharing!


A (serious) - Tum itna insist kar rahe ho toh fine. I'll tell....Krissan.


U - Kya?


A - That you don't want to be in a relationship.


U (funny) - Meri qabr kyun khodh Rahi hai?


A (filmy) - Agar safe khulega, toh harr kisika rahesya bahaar aa'ega.




Before the conversation finishes, she is called by Aditya sir due to which she leaves. After she leaves,




U (to himself) - Yeh ladki kuch zyada hi imaandaar hai.


He smiles proudly thinking about his loyal friend and walks away.

As Sid walked into the boys locker whistling and empty handed, Rohan was sitting with his palm on his cheek and annoyed expression.




Ro (annoyed) - Were you so busy with your romance that you forgot to get an ice pack?


S - Aa. That. Ice pack ka stock khatam ho gaya.




Sid remembers the medical incharge telling him that the last one was given to Vidurshi. He smiles knowing that Vidurshi was going to give it to Rohan and apologise. At that moment, there is a knock on the door. The guys turn to see Vidurshi as she came inside the boys locker room.


Rohan looks at the door and seeing Vidurshi deviates his sight. She stops near Rohan who refused to look at her. Sid and Vidyut smile at each other thinking that Vidurshi came to say sorry. "Ahem Ahem" She clears her throat loudly and Rohan looks up. Vidurshi gives him the Icepack but Rohan doesn't take it from her and turn his face away. But she continues to hold it out in front of his face. When Rohan pushes it off, Vidurshi angrily sits next to him and keeps the pack on the area she punched him. There was a strange silence in the room as the two stare at each other. Vidurshi makes Rohan hold the pack and gets up to leave,




S (confused) - Teddy. Tumhe kuch kehna hai?


Vi - Nahi toh.




As she left, there was an awkward silence in the room,




L (Like reciting a poem) - Dard bhi deti hai. Dawa bhi deti hai. Wah wah wah wah.


Parth who was standing near him gives a disgusted look as he found the so called poem disturbing while the others just seemed tired of Lucky's jokes.


----------------------------------------------------------------


Vidyut leaves the room and catches up with Vidurshi.




Vd - Aren't you having too many mood swings these days? Tumhari behavior din par din ajeeb hoti jaa rahi hai. Chup rehna aur gussa hona alag baat hai. Par punch. (Teasingly) Gundi ho Kya? But I did thoroughly enjoy this.


As Vidyut jovially teased his little sister, Vidurshi frows and gives an angry look. Vidyut steps a step back as if he was afraid of her look and laughs.




Vd - I know you didn't mean any harm. Par Jo bhi hai tumhe Rohan se maafi maangni chahiye.


After all he was concerned about his sister and a secret wager was placed. Vidurshi smiles and dismisses the fact to which Vidyut reminds her what their mom always told them




Vd - Mom kehti thi na "jhagda ho ya Misunderstanding ho, Pehla step toh kissi ek ko lena hi padta hai. It's okay if that's you! Pehle baat karney se ya Sorry bolney se koi chota nahi banjaata hai. And if you're Sorry is going to stop you from ruining any relationship, Don't think just tell Sorry!"


Vidurshi was staring at Vidyut with the corner of her eyes and looking sad. Seeing this, Vidyut added his own words




Vd - Unless it's someone you're starting to fall for, toh I say hit him and finish it off"


Vi (rhymingly) - Bhaiyaaaa!!




Vidurshi looked at him giving an "unbelievable" look. Vidyut was protective as ever. She broke into laughter and was joined by Vidyut.

Shreya walks into the dorm and notices Niti sitting alone in a bed with some clothes. A single tear dropped off her eye. Shreya looked around and seeing the dorm to be empty, walks to Niti.


She picked up one of the dresses lying below,




Sh - Isme toh tum bohat pretty lagogi.


Niti looked at her and then turned back to her original position. Seeing Niti still upset,




Sh - I understand. Warrior High jaisi jagah mein rehke sab ko designer kapdey pehne dekney se inferiority complex toh hogahi na? Par itni si baat pe rothey nahi.


Ni (sad) - Baat purane kapdey ki nahi! Purane dost ki hai.




Niti said with a deep sigh.




Ni (depressed) - Mere 2 sab se ache dost, Best friends, Siyali Jo kehti hai Siyali nahi hoon. Aur Utkarsh.... (Pauses) Jab se Warrior High aaya hai. Usney to itney saarey dost banaliye ke mujhe.... woh kehte hain na 'Left out' lagraha hai"


Shreya was surprised that Niti felt so. Did Utkarsh abandon Niti now that he had new friends? He didn't seem like someone who would do that. But then Utkarsh did seem to be spending a lot of time with his other friends like Angela, Vidurshi, Parth and Sid than Niti. Did that make her feel uncertain about her relationship with Utkarsh?




Sh (assuring) - Niti, Utkarsh ke kitne bhi dost ho, tum toh humesha uski best rahogi. Itne saal saath rahe ho, Uski sab se pehli Priority. So, Aisa sochna bhi math.


Niti looked up at Shreya, gave a fake smile.




Ni - Priority! (Laughs) Uss baat ka hi toh darr hai. Agar Mere aur Sid mein se kisiko ek ko chunna padey toh...(pauses) Ussi din ka darr hai.


Niti looked sad and scared. Shreya was unsure. What kind of a comparison was that. Sid and Niti. Why would there even be such a scenario? Even if one such situation would creep up, Why would that be a problem? The choice seemed obvious. Niti.


----------------------------------------------------------------                    




Shreya and Sid meet at the mess for coffee. During the entire meet, Shreya was talking about various things while Sid was just gazing at her. Shreya feeling uncomfortable, smiled and




Sh (shy) - Siddarth, Main itni bhi beautiful nahi hoon ki tum mujhe ghoortey raho!


S (flirty) - Mere liye toh tum hi world ki sab se beautiful ladki ho.




Shreya hid herself understand her palm and blushed.




S (serious tone) - But that's not why I'm looking at you now.


Sid has a serious look on his face seeing which Shreya stopped smiling and looked confused.




S (serious tone) - I'm trying to understand. Achanak tumhe mujhse milna kyun tha? I mean, Tab se mujhe Dodge kar Rahi thi. Aur ab achanak. It's suspicious.


Sh - I was just trying to be nice (pauses and sweetly) and also getting to know you.




Sid smiled with unbelief and Shreya, noticing that Sid was unconvinced and looking suspiciously at her, got annoyed.




Sh (annoyed) - Fine! Tum ne toh already apna mann banaliya. Tumhey kya lagta hai? Kya wajah ho sakti hai?"


S - Out of character.




Sid pulled out one finger for every word quoted.




Sh - What?


S - Tum prove karna chahti ho ki tum Siyali nahi ho.




Sid said with an extremely straight face as his sure eyes stared into Shreya's. As both of them glared at each other, there was a strange tension in the air.
