Episode 108 - Puppy Love

Siyali tightens her grip on the bottle of water, and looking at it,


Si - Par ab lagta hai ki (emotional) uskey bina marhi jaa'oongi.


She looks up at Gautam with emotional eyes while Gautam stared at her with folded hands. Gautam gave a deep sigh in annoyance,


G (annoyed) - Pratical my foot. You're just secret romantic.


Gautam started, and continued to murmur angrily about Siyali which angered her.


G (annoyed) - Mar ja'ogey!? Absolute Nonsense.


Si (angry) - Nonsense? The only person who isn't making any sense is you!


G - Me?


Gautam asked angrily as the conversation turned into an argument.


Si (angry) - Yes you! You came up with an insane story that someone tried to murder me. And that someone was Urmila ma'am. Does that make any sense? Mujhe maarke unhe kya milega? No mother kills their son's girlfriend just because she doesn't like her. Saath aur saath tumhara yeh bhi maanna hai ki Sid bhi ismey involved hai. You make it sound like yeh sab kuch koi bada saadhish hai.


G (angry) - And you think this isn't?


Si (angry) - Haan! Ek aanadh ko marwakey kisiko kya milega.


G - There are lots of things that you don't know.


Si (angry, shouts) - Then tell me.


Gautam stands still taking a pause and not wanting to answer her questions before he knows everything for sure about her past.


Si (emotional) - Gautam, kab tak yeh chalega. Kab tak? Do you have any idea how much I'm suffering. Mere liye bohat mushkil hai.


G - Muskhil hai?


Gautam slowly turns to Siyali with a disappointed expression on his face. Gautam has a sarcastic smile on and,


G (emotional) - You're suffering? Tumharey liye Muskhil hai? What about me? Tum apney liye suffer kar rahe ho? (Angry) Main kiske liye karoon? Tumhara aur Mera rishta kya hai ki main tumhari saath saath suffer karoon? What do you think? Mujhe inn sab see kya milega? Name, Fame, Fortune? Kuch bhi nahi. Let me tell you now, tumhara koi official case tak nahi hai. No records. Main case bananey ki koshish kar raha hoon. Mera degree, Mera career, sab ki pause lagakey main tumharey liye yeh sab kar raha hoon. All this means nothing to you right? I was wrong about you! You are just as selfish.


The expression on Siyali's face changed from anger to sad and guilty.


G - Sirf tumhare baarey mein sochtey ho. (angry) Agar bathana hai toh Batha'o. Jaa'o. I'm not going to stop you. (Shouts) Ja'o.


Siyali looks at Gautam with guilty eyes as Gautam tried to call himself,


G (calm) - Let me remind you, you asked me for help. If you're going to tell people that you're Siyali, I'll understand that that you don't want my help.... Decide now. At least I won't be wasting more of my time.


Siyali looked confused as to what to do about Gautam's advise that sounded more like a threat.


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


In the ground, as the girls were playing throwball as a gang,


Ni - Yeh Siyali abhi tak aayi nahi? Period hi katam honay waala hai.


A - Stop calling her that!


Ni - Calling her what?


A - Siyali!


K - But didn't we just decide to call her that.


A - No we did not. That was Sid.


T - But why are you so concerned.


A - I have a reason.


Vi - More like a theory!


A - Ya.


As the girls continued playing their last few minutes before the period ended, Siyali was still not in the ground.


<Music starts - Saiyaara (Ek tha Tiger)>


                              Siyali was seen walking in the corridor looking sad and depressed. As she walked through the corridor, she came to the entrance of the school. Looking at the ground, she stopped and remembered arriving to Warrior High along side Sid; and also looking at him on the end of the semester before she left for orphanage.


Aasmaan tera mera hua


Khwaab ki tarah dhuaan dhuaan


Aasmaan tera mera hua


Saans ki tarah ruaan ruaan


                            She remembers smiling when Sid taking her hand and keeping on his shoulder on the last day of Semester one and proposing her. She also remembers being heartbroken when Sid said he didn't actually love her but just played her to satisfy his ego.


Ho jaaye jahaan tu jaaye


Paaye mujhe hi paaye


Saaye yeh mere hain tujh mein samaaye


                            She also remembers meeting Sid on the nightcall in Library, meeting him in the green room and then the recent incident where Sid followed her throughout the corridor maintaining 10 feet distance.


Saiyaara main saiyaara


Saiyaara tu saiyaara


Sitaaron ke jahaan mein milenge ab yaara


Saiyaara main saiyaara


Saiyaara tu saiyaara


Sitaaron ke jahaan mein milenge ab yaara


                           As she walks by the corridors, she sees Sid and her standing with various memories in each part of the corridor - Sid holding Siyali's feet by the plants; Siyali falling into Sid's arms trying to get her duppata; Sid lending her his jacket on Simi's bday and her hugging Sid in the rain.


<Music>


                         She remembers coming back to school as Shreya and falling into Sid's arms again and looking at him. And various incidents when Sid tried to purse her.


Tu jo mila toh yun hua


Ho gayi poori adhoori si duaa


Tu jo gaya, toh le gaya


Sang tere mere jeene ki har wajah


                          She remembers when Sid sang song for her and told Sorry with a teddy near the mess. She remembers flirting with Sid in the camp fire asking him to teach her to be romantic and also the time they were sitting romantically in the junior section after locking up Krissan and Utkarsh.


Ho jaaye jahaan tu jaaye


Paaye mujhe hi paaye


Saaye yeh mere hain tujh mein samaaye


                         While remembering how Sid was always besides her everywhere she went, She sees Sid standing in front of her. As the other students went back to classes after the PT period, Sid and her walked slowly towards.


<Music stops>


                        As they walked towards each other, Siyali remembers


[Flash back]


G (depressed) - Why aren't you replying?


Siyali who was bending her head down, now looked up at Gautam guiltily,


Si (emotional) - I'm sorry Gautam. Jab tab tum sab ke saamey mujhe Siyali introduce nahi karwaogey, tab tak main Shreya hi rahoongi.


Siyali looked at Gautam and couldn't make up what the expression on his face meant.


[Flash back ends]


<Breeze>


                         As she finishes remembering, she realizes that they standing just few feet away from each other. The two exchanged emotional gazes not knowing what to say or do. There was an awkward gap in between them. As Lucky walked across them, he walks few step backwards and pushes Siyali with his arm which lands her on Sid.


Saiyaara main saiyaara


Saiyaara tu saiyaara


Sitaaron ke jahaan mein milenge ab yaara


Saiyaara main saiyaara


Saiyaara tu saiyaara


Sitaaron ke jahaan mein milenge ab yaara


                          Sid jerks back as Siyali falls on him. Shocked for a second, Siyali holds Sid and goes for a hug. Sid suddenly feeling Siyali hugging him looked confused and felt that Siyali was in some kind of a confusion. He brings his hand up to comfort her. He remembers how she had hugged him during Simi's birthday and just like today he brought his hand up to hug her but resisted. But today, he slowly hugged her with one hand and kept his other hand on her head. He slowly pats her on her head while Siyali tried her best to hold off her tears but couldn't. And hence, started to cry hiding her face in his shoulder.
