Episode 139 - The earlier you accept, the better

[Flash back continues]
Gautam continued,


G - And I'm sure aapko bhi patha hai, Missing case ko Murder case banakey close karney waaley aur koi nahi Urmila Rajput hi thi. Because she was the one who tried to kill Siyali.


Sid who was till now holding on to Utkarsh's hand let goes his grip in shock. Even though he had known that Shreya was Siyali, he didn't know that his mother was the one who tried to kill her. He remembered Siyali telling "Mere yeh gussa ki peechey bhi koi wajah hai".


He was taken aback and leaned on the wall for some support while Utkarsh started walking towards Gautam to hear more. The brothers and Yakshit hear Gautam's side of the story about the entire case starting with how he found her on the road and how she had become Shreya.


Utkarsh's eyes were watering as he heard the story of Siyali's struggles while Sid sat down on the floor with elbows on his knee and covering his face with his forearm.


The police looked at Anwesha ma'am and at Gautam as he was sure that most things Gautam did was against the law.


Police - Tumhari kahani bohat acha hai. Par tumhe police ke paas aana chahiye tha. Yeh sab karney ki kya zaroorat thi.
G - I know. But mujhe yahi sahi tareeqa laga Siyali ko bachaney ke liye. I'm ready to bear the consequences. But Urmila Rajput ke guna ke saamney mere yeh, galti bhi nahi hai. (Looks at AMaam) You said you wouldn't defend her if she actually committed the crime. Ab defend kyun kar rahe ho?


Gautam stared at Anwesha ma'am after which Anwesha ma'am moved away gesturing that the police could go in and make the arrest,


U - Nahi. Nahi. Nahi.


Utkarsh tried to stop the police from going in but Anwesha ma'am held on to him.


AMaam (shouts) - Sid!! Help me out.


Sid gets up and tries to hold on to Utkarsh along with Anwesha ma'am. Gautam stood by Yakshit and the two watched Utkarsh as he shouted helplessly as they could hear the nurse trying to stop the Police from arresting Urmila ma'am. And also a confused Urmila ma'am as to what was happening. As she was dragged out by two female police,


UMaam - Mom. What's happening? Yeh ho kya raha hai?


She shouted while Anwesha ma'am looked sorry for Utkarsh and disappointed at Urmila ma'am,


U (crying) - Maa! Maa! Nahi!
UMaam (tensed) - Maine nahi kiya Utkarsh. Trust me. Mom. I didn't do anything. I don't know what's happening.
U (crying) - Sid. Chodo mujhe Sid. Woh Maa ko ley jaa rahe hai.


Sid who was till now hugging Utkarsh such that he wouldn't go, now turns to his mom and as she reached out to Utkarsh, He pushes her hand off Utkarsh and stands as a bridge between Utkarsh and Urmila ma'am. Seeing this, Urmila ma'am looked at Sid who stood with anger in his eyes such that his eyes were burning red like the glowing sun,


UMaam (disappointed) - Sid?


Urmila ma'am said with a faint sound as she stopped acting out and looked at him surprised. Seeing how Sid was disappointed and angry with her, she stopped struggling with the police and started to co-operate with them.


CLICK! CLICK! There was a lot of media outside as she walked out of the hospital. The arrest went by with Utkarsh crying out loud while Sid stood still just like the day on which he broke with with Siyali (the last day of Semester 1).


AMaam - Priya, Take them to the hotel. And make sure they don't leave.


Anwesha ma'am followed the police while her other female assistant along with their driver took the boys to the hotel. As they all left, Gautam stood by the corridor to Siyali's room confused. He had always thought that putting Urmila ma'am behind the bars would give him a feeling of victory but all he could feel right now is sorry for the brothers.


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


Back at the hotel, as they walked by the corridor,


S (on the phone) - Okay. Daadi.


He cuts the call and gives the phone back to Anwesha ma'am's assistant who leaves the boys as they enter into their room,


U (tensed) - Yeh log aisey kaise Maa ko arrest kar saktey hai? Maa Siyali ko...kaise. Kuch bhi? Aur Waise bhi Siyali ko ab tak hosh nahi aaya hai. Kaise yeh bol saktey hai maa ne uske jaan leney ki koshish ki hai?
Y (doubtful) - Arrest Kar rahe hai, toh evidence hoga hi.
U (angry) - Har evidence sahi ho, aisa toh nahi hai na. I know for a fact, Maa bekasoor hai. Maa aisey kar hi nahi sakti hai.
S (murmerred) - You don't know that.


Utkarsh turns to Sid who was sitting on the sofa with a complicated expression,


U - Yeh kya kehrahe ho, Sid?
S (blank) - Tumhe kaise patha hai ki woh bekasoor hai? (Sarcastic) I knew she was capable of doing bad things but i didn't know she was capable of murder.


Utkarsh was shocked to hear Sid speak against his mother,


U (shocked) - Sid, You know Maa better than anyone. Tu aisa kaisa kehsakta hai?
S - I know Mom. That's why. She did hate Siyali more than anyone else.
U (emotional, strong) - Agar tu Maa ko jaanta hai, toh main bhi unhey jaanta hoon. Police Jo bhi kahe, Gautam Jo bhi kahe, Siyali khud Jo bhi kahe, main kabhi nahi maan sakta hoon ki meri maa ney kuch bhi galat kiya. Jitna main Maa ko jaanta hoon, woh bohat hi achi hai. Woh kabhi kisika bura soch bhi nahi sakti hai.
S (shouts) - Tu jaanta hi kya hai, Utkarsh!


Sid got up angrily hitting the side table of the sofa such that the glass shattered,


S (angry, shouts) - You've known her for what? A year? Aur tumhe lagta hai ki tum unhe jaantey ho? You know nothing, Utkarsh. Tum kya lagta hai? Tumhari Maa achi, loving and caring hai? Nahi Utkarsh. Nahi. She's a dominanting and a selfish woman.


Utkarsh's expression changed little by little as Sid was ranting about their mother,


S (shouts, angry) - Mere saath unhon ney kya kuch kiya, tum nahi jaantey ho. She literally made my life a living hell. I survived only because of Daadi. Aur tum bhi jaantey ho ki unki wajasey tumharey saath kya hua? Kyun? Bathaya nahi unhonney? You didn't get lost. She abandoned you. On the middle of road. During a riot for crying out loud. Jo maa apney bachey ko beech sadak pe chod sakti hai, woh doosrey ki bachey ko maar bhi sakti hai.


PUNCH!!! This was it for Utkarsh. He couldn't hear one more word. Sid dashed into the chairs near by and fell while Yakshit watched this in fear and confusion. He didn't know how much he should involve himself in,


U (angry) - Tum apney khud ki maa ke baarey mein aisey kaise kehsaktey ho?


The fight got aggressive as Utkarsh wasn't calm. As they held on to each other's collar


S (angry) - Joot nahi bola mainey! Sach hi hai.


Utkarsh pushed Sid down to the floor and started hitting him while Sid didn't want to hurt his brother. Yakshit, feeling that right or wrong, he had to stop them. He ran to them and pulled Utkarsh away from Sid.


U (angry, shouts) - Chodo mujhe! Chodo mujhe!


Sid gets up coughing and looks at Utkarsh,


S - Aisey chilaney se kuch nahi badalney waala hai Utkarsh. Kitna jaldi accept karogey. Utna better hai.


Sid walks out of the hotel room and Yakshit silently followed him. After they left the room, "Aaarggh!!!" Utkarsh screamed to his hearts content. He shouted and screamed until he broke into tears.
[Flash back pauses]

Explanation to Sid's behavior


UMaam was always harsh on Sid from his childhood and yet he loved his mom thinking this is who she was and this was how she showed her love for him.
But ever since Utkarsh came into their life, she was too loving and caring to him like she's never been with Sid.
And little by little, Sid started getting jealous and disliking his mom. Still he tried him best to make sure that this doesn't affect his relationship with his mother or brother. But once he got to know that she tried to kill someone and even after knowing this Utkarsh was acting like his mother isn't wrong, Sid's thoughts and feelings exploded. He isn't being disrespectful to his mother. Human tendency, bottled up thought and emotions sometimes seem to explode due to some trigger.
