Episode 104 - Leave the past in the past.

<Music starts - Luv u Zindagi (Dear Zindagi)>


                         Siyali walks inside a farm house feeling uncomfortable and unsure of her feelings along with her parents and Gautam by her side while the rest of the family members welcome her with a big smile,


Jo dil se lage


Usse keh do hi, hi, hi, hi


Jo dil na lage


Usse keh do bye, bye, bye, bye


                          Seeing the three kids, Siyali waves hi to them while the kids look confused and look at their mom's who give them a guestures after looking at which they smile and wave back.


Aane do, aane do


Dil mein aa jaane do


Kehdo muskurahat ko


Hi, hi, hi, hi


                         In the table, As Siyali sat, her mother brought in more and more food from the kitchen and kept on her plate. Siyali sat with a widdened eyes and shocked expression while Gautam laughed at this.


Jaane do, jaane do


Dil se chale jaane do


Keh do ghabrahat ko


Bye, bye, bye, bye, bye-bye


                          Trying to blend with the family, she takes her first step with the youngest kid who was sitting in the lawn and trying to blow bubbles. Siyali calls her towards her.


Love you zindagi, Love you zindagi


Love you zindagi, Love me zindagi


                          As Siyali started blowing lots and lots of bubbles, she and the kid both enjoyed them. The other two kids also joined in and all of them burst the bubbles and had fun. Siyali has fun with the family as they play various games.


Kabhi hath pakad ke tu mera


Chal de, chal de


Kabhi hath chuda ke main tera


Chal doon, chal doon


                            Siyali tries to cook something for the family and doesn't allow the other ladies in the house to help her with it. She looks at them nervously as they try her food. Her two brothers and Gautam give bad expressions eating her food. And after she tastes the food, laugh seeing her expression.


Main thodi si moody hoon


Tu thodi si tedhi hai


Kya khoob ye jodi hai


Teri meri.


                              She holds a pair of anklets and touches them when her mother wearing a pair of anklets on her legs call her. The two dance gracefully while the kids also try to copy the classical dance.


Aane do aane do


Dil mein aa jaane do


Keh do muskurahat ko


Hi, hi, hi, hi


Jaane do, jaane do


Dil se chale jaane do


Kehdo ghabrahat ko


Bye, bye, bye, bye, bye-bye


                           The ladies and kids of the house go to the parlor where they all look at Siyali and tell the hairstylist on what to do on her while she looks extremely clueless. They also choose a fancy short dress for her. And thus, she gets a make over and a hair cut.


Love you zindagi, Love you zindagi


Love you zindagi, Love me zindagi


                           With her new look, she attends the party for her parents wedding anniversary where they cut cake and have a small celebration. After the celebration, they take a family photo.


And just like that, Siyali became Shreya and blended into the family believing them to be her own family. She didn't doubt them as the love and affection they showed for her felt too real. And doubting them would mean doubting their love. Then Siyali, now Shreya forgot all about the accident and moved on with her new life and new family not knowing what she had left behind.


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


Almost 2-3 weeks later, As Shreya and her mother came back home, Shreya without talking to anyone just went into her room and locked herself up. She didn't come out for lunch or dinner. She just stayed in the room all day and didn't come out even in the morning.


As the kids stood outside her door and knocked without having response, Gautam came upstairs and sent them away to sleep while he decided to speak to Shreya. KNOCK. KNOCK.


G - Doll? Open the door! Kuch zyaaa.....


And Shreya opened the door as soon as she heard Gautam's voice. Confused and glad, he got inside the room and closed the door.


He hands over a phone box. She takes it and looks at him.


G - Tum kuch zyaada hi zidi ho yaar. Don't you think. Itney jaldi Amazon bhi deliver nahi karta hai. Same model. Same colour. Now happy.


Shreya looks at him from the corner of her eyes and,


Sh - Aur purana phone?


G - It's totally gone. Repair nahi kar saktey hai. And who repairs phones these days! Aur data bhi poora gaya. Irrecoverable. So..


Sh (angry) - So you just threw it away.


G - No. It's downstairs.


Not listening to a word Gautam was telling, Shreya started getting angry,


Sh (angry) - So you just threw it away. Because it's useless now? Aur Mera data? Uska Kya? You just decided that it's irrecoverable? Without even trying? You just gave up?


G (with a funny expression) - Okay calm down. Main Keshav se kehkey data retrieve karney ki koshish karta hoon.


Sh (angry, emotional, not paying attention to Gautam) - Aur tumne yeh Naya phone laakey deydiya. Yeh acha hai. I'm not complaining. Mujhe bohat pasand bhi hai. Par isliye puraney waaley ko bhool nahi sakti hoon. Meri phone hai. Mujhe decide karna chahiye na ki mujhe kya chahiye. Tumhe laga mere liye nayi phone better hai, aur deydiya. What about what I want. Yeh nayi phone kitney bhi ache ho, puraney ko chod nahi sakti hoon. It's not that easy to move on.


Gautam, a little confused, scratching the back of his neck,


G - Aren't you over acting for a phone....


And suddenly the expression on his face changed and he turned swiftly at Shreya whose eyes were red.


Sh (emotional) - Why did you do this to me Gautam? Why?


And Gautam remembered,


ShMom - Get her a new phone by today Gautam.


G - Purana waala ko kya hogaya.


ShMom - Toot Gaya. Didn't she call you? Phone tootney ke baath, she took my phone to call someone. Mujhe laga tumhe call kiya hoga.


G - Nahi toh.


Gautam opened the door fast and rushed downstairs. He ran to the phone that was charging and saw the last dialed numbers. He scrolled down to find a unsaved number which he types on his phone. He sees the number and turns up. He looks shockingly at Siyali standing by the stairs looking down at him.


The number showed a contact in his phone named as "Siyali's orphanage".
