Episode 2 : A Fly on the wall

In Mumbai, Parth's mom is seen standing in the kitchen when Parth enters,


P - Maa, aap kitchen mein kya kar rahi ho? Aap rest kariye chaliye. Main thodi der ke liye bahar gaya aur aap kaam karna shuru kardiya? Dijiye,   Main banaata hoon.


PMom - Parth. Ek chaai hi toh hai.


P - It's ok! Thodey din mein school shuru ho rahi hai, tab banalijiye apni chaai. Ab mujhey bananey do.


Parth's mom smiles and sits on a chair in the kitchen. As Parth makes tea,


PMom - Tumharey saarey dost Goa mein masti kar rahe hongey aur tum, kitchen mein mere liye chaai.


P - Maa, woh sab masti karney ke liye thodi na gaye the. Sid ko cheer up karney ke liye gaye the aur ab tak kaamiyaab nahi huye. Aur waise bhi meri khushi aapke liye chai bananey mein hi hai.


He serves her tea in a dramatic way. She smiles, hits him gently and takes the cup from his hand. Parth smiles and drinks his cup of tea.  


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


Next day morning, The warriors are seen walking through the Goa Airport. Sid walks along with Kajol who was literally clinging on to him,


Kaj - I had the best week of my life. Pura hafta tumharey saath. Awesome.


They walk into a coffee shop where Sid crosses a table where a young man is seen reading a file. He sees Sid and looks at him from the corner of his eyes.


Kaj - 2 cold coffees. Parcel.


She doesn't leave Sid's hand at any cause. They sit on the table in front of that of the young man. He couldn't see Sid's face but was able to see Kajol's.


Kaj - Tumhe patha tha na, ka humari month-iversary hai. That's why you asked me to come to goa.


Sid didn't answer.


Kaj - I knew it. Tumhe patha hai Sid tum world ke best boy friend ho.


As she smiles, The young man stares at her and continues looking at the file.


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


In the airport, Trishna is seen walking along with Ishaan, Lucky and Rohan;


T - I'm serious. It's been more than a month. Aur Siyali.....


She stops as she enters the coffee shop.


T - Sid!


She smiles and she sees Sid getting up from the table along with Kajol. As he walks away, the 4 of them stand awkwardly. As he leaves, they walk towards the table behind the young man who was still reading the book.   Rohan and the man were facing each others back.


Ro - I think we should stop acting like this. Sid ke saamney Siyali ka naam na lene se kuch nahi honey waala hai.


T - I know... but


Trishna gives a guilty look. Few minutes later, Lucky brings the milkshakes to the table and joins them on the table. Behind them, the man is seen talking on the phone,


Phone - Yeh case din pe din complicated ho rahi hai. You cant go now, Gautam


G - Sunaina, Maine bola na. Mujhe apni family se zyaada kuch bhi important nahi hai. And the case. It's done.


Phone - Done? Murderer koun hai?


G - Khud Gayathri. It's a case of suicide portrayed as a murder.


Phone - I'll read the details.


G - Sometimes sawalon ke jawab wahan milte hain jahan kisi ne bhi expect nahi kiya ho. You'll know what i mean when you read the mail. Bye.


Phone - Safe trip. Bye.


Gautam puts off the phone and takes the coffee cup on his hand,


L - Talking about murder? Tum kya keh rahi thi? Siyali ke baarey mein?


Gautam keeps his coffee down and gives a stare. Trishna stops drinking her coffee and,


T - Yaa! Siyali ke case mein koi progress hi nahi hai. Ek mahiney pehley they said Siyali was dead. Uske baad bathaya hi nahi ki kya hua kaise hua? Kuch bhi nahi?


I - Aaj ke cops. Bohath lazy hain. Kuch bhi nahi kartey. We need someone smart to finish this case.


Ro - Mujhe ek baath samajh mein nahi aa rahi hai. Siyali ki body kabhi mili hi nahi. Mila toh sirf uski chain. Feels complicated.


G - It's simple.


Rohan turns behind towards the young man who doesn't turn towards them,


G - Dead body ke bina kissi ko dead pronounce nahi kar saktey hain. According to law, Dead pronounce karney ke liye one should have been missing for more than 7 years ya phir or two, it's inferred she's dead.


I - But Siyali ke case mein toh...


T - Usse toh 2 din mein dead pronounce kiya tha.


L - Matlab, kuch gadbad hai.


G - Matlab, someone is trying to close the case.


All of them look at each while Gautam gets up and walks away. As he walks he drops the tissue down.


T (calls out) - Hello mister? Itna law jaante ho. And you put you're waste down. No Swatch bharat.


Gautam stops smiles and picks up the tissue. He looks at it and throws it back. The 4 of them look at the tissue that falls right into the dustbin,


I - Isse kehtey hain hero ki entry.


L - He's got style.


Ro - He's got brains.


T - You know what i think? We need a guy like that to solve our case.


<Karthick calling karthick bgm>


                                  As they smile thinking about what Trishna said, Gautam walks along with his suitcase and stands to board the plane. He stands in style and winks at the air hostess who smiles at him. Standing in the air ground in front of the planes,


G - You're right sweet heart. Its I who is going to solve this mystery.


He gives a smirk and gets into the flight.


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


As the flight lands back in Delhi and Mumbai respectively, the students go their own ways. There was few more days for school to reopen.  


Charlie and his dad are seen entering the house when,


CMom - Charlie? Wapas aa gaya? Trip kaisa tha?


C - Teek thaak tha.


CMom - Aur Sid kaisa hai?


C - Woh waise ka waisa hi hai. Koi improvement nahi.


CDad - Niti? Uski bhi Siyali best friend thi na?


C - Woh bhi bohat buri halat mein hai. Sid ke bareey mein soch soch ke sab log, Niti aur Utkarsh ke baarey mein soch na hi bhul gaye. Upar se Utkarsh jo itna emotional hai woh bhi roney ke baja'ye Sid ko samhalney pe tula hua hai.  


CDad - Ek loss ka situation jo hota hai, bohat hi nazuk hota hai. Kabhi kabhi apney loss ke liye khud ko samhalne se zyaada dusron ko samhaal na padta hai. That's what Utkarsh is doing. Aur Niti, woh kahan hai?


C - Thode din Angela ke ghar mein thi. Ab wapas Orphanage chali gayi.


CMom - Yahan, Mumbai mein?


C - Haan!


CDad - Toh usse ek din ghar kyun nahi bulate?


C - What?


CMom (teasing) - Haan! Apne betey ki girl friend se mulakat toh karna hi padhega.


Charlie smiles and hugs his dad and mom thanking them for doing this for him.


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


Next day, Kajol is seen walking inside Rajput mansion where she comes across Urmila ma'am,


UMaam - Kajol?


Kaj - Hai aunty!


UMaam - Papa kaise hain? Goa trip kaisa tha?


Kaj - He's good. Aur Goa trip, It was amazing. Waise bhi Thanks bolna bhool hi gayi


UMaam - Kis baath ke liye thanks?


Kaj - For inviting me for the Goa trip.


UMaam - Well. Tum aur Sid ek doosrey ko theek se samajh pa'o ge. Utkarsh ko laga ke tum aayi toh acha lage ga.


Kaj (shocked) - Wait! Utkarsh wanted me to come.


UMaam - Haan.


Kajol was a little confused about what she heard.


Kaj - Ok aunty. Main chalti hoon. Sid se milna hai.


Urmila ma'am smiled and noded her head. As Kajol climbed the stairs to Sid's room,


PoV "Utkarsh ne mujhe invite kiya? Woh toh mujhe bilkul pasand nahi karta hai. Aur toh aur he was so into keeping me away from Sid. Toh ab kya hua?"


She enters Sid's room and sees a picture of him and Siyali together. She picks it up and,


Kaj (to herself) - Shayad Utkarsh bhi samajh gaya ke Sid ke liye MAIN tumse behtar hoon... SIYALI.


She takes her eyes off the picture and gives a smirk.
