Episode 128 - Light in the Dark

Meanwhile Rohan walks up to Vidurshi to see her sitting on the parapet and swinging her legs joyfully. Seeing him, she waves her hand and smile but Rohan smiles at her in disbelief on how she could be so irresponsible.




Vi - Is it time already?


Rohan shook his head meaning a No. Vidurshi smiled with a nod and continued to swing her legs. As Rohan turns to leave,




Vi - It's my birthday tomorrow. You can't stay angry on me on my birthday. Right?


Vidurshi said with the hopes that atleast Rohan would talk to her. Rohan turns to her, rolls his eyes and walks to her. He sits next to her leaving enough space for another person to sit in between.


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


Trishna arrives at the auditorium along with the cake while Danny, the Cook's assistant brought the rest of the food. Before entering, she peeps out to see Rohan with Vidurshi. Rohan acts that he's there and he'll take care. Now that she didn't have to worry about a missing Vidurshi, she goes in with a smile. She along with Danny and few other kids arrange the food table with all the food and snacks that they got.


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


On the other hand, outside the auditorium, Rohan takes a palm sized box neatly gift wrapped with a little bow from his jacket pocket and gives her.




Vi (excited) - Gift? Mere liye?


She takes it from his hand and,




Vi - When I said it's my birthday this wasn't what I expected.
Ro - Okay then. I'll take it back.




Rohan reached to take the gift back. "Aye" Vidurshi leaned back not wanting to return the gift. Rohan smiled and stopped trying to get it back. Vidurshi carefully opened the gift wrapping and opened the box and found a necklace with a little crystal star pendant on it. She touches it with her hand in awe,




Vi (in awe) - It's so pretty.


Rohan smiles uncomfortably as he sees her happy about the gift.




Ro - I just remembered you when I saw it. Birthday gift kay liye acha rahega.


On the top of the card was a writing in calligraphy "Light in the dark",




Vi - Light in the dark?
Ro - Yaa. It glows in the dark.
Vi - Wow!!! Really!?




She continues to look at the pendant and suddenly brings her head up and turns to Rohan.




Vi (shocked) - You just spoke? (Surprised) Oh my god. You finally spoke.
Ro (embarrassed) - Took you long enough to realize.




Vidurshi kept the box near her and held Rohan's arm and almost shaking him,




Vi (happy) - Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! Thank you soo much.
Ro (flustered) - Okay! Calm down.




She smiled bright while Rohan looked at Vidurshi's hand on him seeing which she takes her hand off him and smiles brighter.




Vi - So, does that mean you've forgiven me?
Ro - No!




Rohan answered looking there and here instead of looking at her.




Ro - Not talking isn't working.
Vi (teasing, dreamily) - Because you miss talking to me?




Vidurshi moved towards Rohan with her knuckles on her chin and fluttering her eyes to look cute,




Ro - Because you do crazy things that makes me want to shout at you and I can't do that without actually talking. Can I?


Vidurshi laughed hearing that and Rohan joined in. Vidurshi looks at Rohan who was still not looking at her,




Vi - How long is it going to take to forgive me?
Ro - Tumne bhi toh nahi kiya tha. Forgive.
Vi - Meri baath alag hai.




Vidurshi turned her head front and again started to swing her legs.




Ro - How is it different?
Vi - You're angry with me! I wasn't angry with you?
Ro - Really? How do you explain your behavior then?




Both of them looked at the corridor to see the others going into the auditorium few blocks away from them while the two of them spoke casually,




Vi - Well! When you find out that the person you like most in the world doesn't like you one bit, makes you do crazy thinks
Ro (shocked) - Huh?




Rohan's huh suddenly brought Vidurshi back to her sense. The jovial jolly expression on her face changed into a serious one. She had just blurted out something in the flow.




Vi (stammering) - Ah!


She turns towards Rohan who was staring at her in shock. Unable to see him in the eye, she immediately turns back and,




Vi (stammering) - That came out... totally wrong... Ammm. Sir... Aatey hongey. Andhar chalna chahiye.


She gets up walks to the door of the auditorium. Realising that she has left the gift box, She walks back to the parapet and takes the gift box.




Vi (stammering) - Gift! Thank...you.


She rolls her eyes in embarrassment and she opens the door and rushes inside. Once inside, she leans forward on the foor and hides her face. She turns around and closes her eyes with her right hand wondering what she had done.


Meanwhile Rohan who was still on the corridor continued to have a shocked expression on his face and still looking at the side where Vidurshi was sitting.




Ro (to himself) - Was that a confession?


Rohan wondered moving his head right and left.


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


Trishna looked around to see that everything was set and perfect.




T - Guys, everyone take your positions. We're bringing Adi sir in.


Ishaan nods his head and walks out of the auditorium. He calls out for Siyali by waving both his hands to get her attention. He shows her a thumbs up to which she responds. Then Ishaan goes back into the auditorium.


Siyali messes her hair and little bit to look like she was running. She barges into the staff room panting




Si (panting) - Sir!!


The few teachers in the staff room turn to the door,




Si (acting tensed) - Wahan school theatre mein Rohan aur Sid ek doosrey se ladrahe hai.
U, Ni (acting concerned) - Rohan aur Sid?
Si (acting tensed) - Kisike kehney par bhi chodnahi rahe hai. Bohat bada jagda lag raha hai. Adi sir, please come and stop them.




Aditya sir looking concerned, got up and ran from the staff room while the three students thanked the teachers for not reacting as they were already told about the plan.


As he ran to the auditorium,




Adi (to himself) - Ab kya hogaya ki phir se jagda?
Si (loudly) - Andhar hi hai sir!!




Siyali shouted loudly as it was the signal that sir was close by. Aditya sir fastly opens the door to see the auditorium pitch black. He turns back to look at Siyali who smiles and walks in along with Utkarsh and Niti.
