Episode 106 - Fork on the road

On her last day in Delhi, Unlike her usual self, Siyali was shoving her clothes into bag with an angry look on her face. Gautam who was sitting next to her with the youngest kid on his lap was staring at Siyali do this,


G - Naaraz ho?


Si - Haan.


G - Mujse?


Si - Apney aap sey.


Holding few of her clothes in her hand, she turns to Gautam looking stern,


Si (angry) - I can't believe I fell for your story.


[Flash back]


Back in the hospital,


Si - Mujhe bohat ajeeb lag raha hai. Agar main sach mein Shreya hoon, toh proof toh chahiye. Koi purana photo, video, kuch bhi. Par tum logon ney mujhe kuch nahi dikaya.


Ke (murmering) - Dekhaney ke liye kuch hona chahiye na


Si - Huh? Matlab kuch nahi hai?


G (trying to manage) - Hai na. Sab kuch hai.


Si - Toh dikhatey kyun nahi.


G (trying to manage) - Kyun ki tum apney aap ko recognize nahi kar pa'ogey.


Si - Kyun nahi?


G - Kyun nahi mathlab. (Thinks of something) Tumhara plastic surgery hua hai.


Keshav gives a funny expression while Siyali gives a unconvinced expression.


Si (mocking) - Plastic surgery? Really?


G - Haan. Tab hi toh poora ka poora doll lag rahi ho. Kyun Keshav.


As Keshav nods his head, Siyali stared with the corner of her eyes,


G (strong) - Maine bathaya na. Tumhara bohat bada accident hua tha. Aur face poora tarah see damage hogaya. And so. Plastic surgery.


Seeing Siyali still stare at him suspiciously,


G (angry) - Yeh shaq ki nazar see dekna bandh Kar. Tumhe Kya lagta hai? Main sadaq mein se kisi bhi ladki ho utakey apney family banata hoon Kya? Fine. Mera pe yaqeen nahi toh fine. What about your mother? Unka pyaar joota lag raha hai?


Keshav guestured with funny expressions Gautam to continue acting angry as the expression on Siyali's face started to change as soon as her mother was mentioned.


G - Batha'o. Insaan hai toh Barosa karna seeko. Itna bhi shaq karna teek nahi hai.


[Flash back ends]


Gautam laughed as they remember the incident.


Si (mocking) - Plastic surgery?


G (laughing) - Sorry doll. Dimaag mein koi aur idea aaya hi nahi.


Si - You know. Main kisi par bhi aisa hi barosa nahi karti hoon. Life mein yeh doosri baar hai ki barosa karkey idiotic feel ho raha hai. Tumhari stupid Plastic surgery story ka yaqeen karna aur doosrey Sid ka woh joota break up...


Siyali suddenly remembered Sid as she spoke about how she believed Sid when he said he never loved her. She looked upset while Gautam looked annoyed wondering why she felt bad over Sid.


And then his sight feel on Siyali's fingers which was brushing the dollar of her om bracelet.


G - Siyali?


Si - Huh?


She turned to Gautam confused as to why he was referring to her as Siyali. Gautam smiled and,


G - Siyali ya Shreya?


Si - I don't understand.


G - Tumhari life hai. Tum choose karo. Siyali bankey Warrior High jaana hai? Yaa phir Shreya bankey yahin rehna hai. Do you want to fight for your identity? Or do you want to stay in this new identify?


Siyali looked at Gautam, smiled and sat next to him,


Si - Kitney aasani se poochiliya. Shreya ya Siyali. (Smiles) Aasan nahi hai choose karna. I don't remember my mom. And I don't want to remember her. After all mujhe sadak mein chood diya. Mainey bohat intezaar kiya. But no one came. Tab decide kiya maine. I don't need a mother to take care of me or Utkarsh. Apni aur Utkarsh ki maa main rahoongi aur hum dhono ki khayal rakoongi. Yeh thi humari zindagi. Aur ab mere bhi khayal rakney waali... pyaar karney waali maa mili. Jo mujhe unki beti Shreya maantey hai. (Emotional) Unsey jaakey kaise bathoon ki main unki Shreya nahi hoon. Unkey liye main unki beti Shreya rehna chahti hoon. Itna toh kar sakti hoon na main. Par mere liye.. main ab aur humesha Siyali hi rahoongi. Aur Siyali ke jagah Warrior High mein hai. Uski family ke saath.


She turns to Gautam who and the kid on his lap have a similar confused expression on their faces as to what she was trying to say


Si (sweetly) - I need my identity. But without hurting mom. Help me Gee!


G - Okay........ Siyali.


Gautam smiles and the scene fast forwards to present in Gautam's room in Warrior High with Siyali siting on the floor with tears in her eyes and Gautam staring at her after he called her as Siyali to stop her from getting sick. The two look at each other.

Meanwhile, Rohan and Vidurshi went to the secluded part of ground to have a talk.


Ro - What is it that you wanted to talk about?


Vi - Actually. Humney decide kiya na, hum sab apne apne fights sort out karlenge. Toh mujhe laga humhe bhi karna chahiye.


Ro - Okay!


Rohan sounded like he didn't care but he was very curious as to the reason for her angry behavior.


Vi - I decided that I'll let it go. Haan. Main bohat gussey mein thi ki tum mere baarey main itney gatiya kaise soch saktey hai. Mainey kuch kiya bhi nahi. But then past is past. I think I reacted enough. So let's forget it.


Ro (confused) - What? Mainey Kya socha?


Vi - Actually I don't remember.


Rohan stared at her for not remembering while Vidurshi smiled in embarrassment.


Vi - You were telling something about mujhe iss school mein aana hi nahi chahiye tha and all.


Ro (with funny expression) - Mainey kaha?


Vi - Haah. Tumhare cousin se.


Ro - Cousin.....


Rohan suddenly realized what Vidurshi meant and the expression on his face went from funny to fuming.


Ro (stern) - That's why you were angry?


Vi - Haan.


Ro (trying to control anger) - Kyun ki tumhe laga... Ki main... Tumharey baarey mein baath kar raha hoon. (Smirks) Because you thought... I was talking about you.


Vi (confused) - Weren't you?


Vidurshi gave an innocent expression which further angered. Vidurshi leaned back as Rohan angrily hit the bush near them and leaves came out flying.


Ro (biting his teeth) - I don't know what made you think that that conversation was about you.


Rohan looks around and smiling in anger. Later, Rohan stared at Vidurshi angrily as he spoke while she just looked confused.


Ro (angry) - Okay! Say I was actually talking about you. So what? Tumhe kya karna chahiya tha? You should've directly asked me. Instead I got punched, I got the silent treatment for like a month and the entire school thinks that I'm some kind of an evil jerk who made the school's favorite kid upset.


Vidurshi, looking down in guilt, was blinking trying to remember what made her thought he was talking about her. Rohan turned back looking away from Vidurshi to relieve his anger and suddenly turned back to her,


Ro (angry) - You know what's making me more angry. That a**hole stalked you, used you and still you have HIM a chance to explain. But not ME!!


Vidurshi was shocked and with a blank expression on her face.


Vi (shocked) - What. Do. You. Mean?


Ro - Actually! You're right. The conversation was not about you. It was because of you. (Shouts angrily) I MEAN GAUTAM!!


Vidurshi was taken aback as Rohan shouted. Reminded of the stalking incident, the fear that she was trying to get over was back and her eyes started becoming red while Rohan stared at her in anger.
