Episode 38 : A friendly talk

At around mid night, In the boys dorm, Sid was seen nervously walking to and fro. He was having flashes of Siyali and Shreya. How they reminded him of each other.


S (to himself) - Kya karoon? Kya karoon?


He walks near Utkarsh who was sleeping in his bed. He wanted to wake him up but


S (in huss tone) - Nahi. Chilaa'ega.


He looks at Charlie who was sleeping in the bed far away,


S (to himself) - Nahi. Charlie mujhe ab se zyaada confuse kar deya. Ek hi option hai Sid.


He walks to the bunker opposite to his. He gives a thought and comes to a conclusion,


S - (to himself) Koi choice nahi hai Sid. Rohan? Rohan? Utt yaar?


Ro (sleepy) - Sid. Aadi Raath hai bro.


S - Emergency hai. Mujhe zaroori baath karni hai.


Ro (sleepy) - Kal subah baath karengey.


S (stern) - Rohan. Ut ja na.


Ro (sleepy) - So ney dey yaar.


S (angry) - Rohan agar tu ab utha nahi na toh...toh.. Teddy kissi aur ke saath chali jaa'egyi.


Rohan suddenly woke up from bed like he just has a night mare and stared angrily at Sid who was giving a victorious look.


Ro (angry) - Kya hai?


S - Neechey utharo.


Ro - Yahin se baath karletey hain.


S - Rohan important baath hai yaar. Siyali ke baarey mein.


Rohan was giving irritated looks and didn't feel like getting up from the bed,


S - If you don't help me with Siyali na, I won't help you with Teddy.


Rohan gives a weird stare and gets off the bed. Sid had a funny smile on his face. Rohan comes close to him and points a finger at his face,


Ro (angry) - Vidurshi ke naam se mujhe black mail karna bandh kar. Huh?


Sid moves Rohan finger away from his face and,


S - Vidurshi nahi Rohan. Teddy.


Ro (irritating) - Ab kahan betkey baath karni hai tumhe?


S - Hmm. Bahar chaltey hain?


Ro (irritating) - CCTV camera hai.


S - Toh andhar chaltey hain. Changing room.


Sid walks to the changing room followed by Rohan. As Sid turns around searching for Rohan, Rohan sits on the slab near the mirror while Sid looks relieved.


Ro - So.. kya baath karni thi?


S - Shreya ke baarey mein.


Ro - Shreya. The most happening girl in Warrior. Kuch dinon se sab sirf ushi ke baarey mein baath kar rahey hain. Ab tumhe kya baath karni hai?


S - Uska Siyali honey ke chances ke baarey mein.


Ro - Acha. That topic. Ek aisa group hai jo bohat bored hai and so theyre researching on this topic, two there's Utkarsh jo Shreya ke naam suntey hi gussa ho jaata hai. And three Vidurshi jisse lagta hai ke uska Sid itna acha hai ki woh Shreya ko kabhi Siyali nahi maaneyga. And you of course, mujhe aadi raath ko utakey iskey baarey mein baath karna chahtey ho.


Sid stares at Rohan who was mockingly talking about all this.


Ro - Tumhe dekhkey without doubt keh sakta hoon ke tumhe bhi lagta hai ki Shreya Siyali hai. Right?


S (serious) - Nahi. Mujhe nahi lagta hai ki Shreya Siyali hai.


Ro - What?


Rohan was surprised with Sid's reply. What was that?


S - Mujhe patha hai ki woh Siyali hai. 100% guarantee ke saath keh sakta hoon.


Seeing Rohan give weird questionable looks,


S - Tum kahogey proof kahan hai. Main kahoonga mere paas proof nahi hai. Tum kahogey.....


Sid continued talking fast to himself about what Rohan would ask and what he would reply for that. After finishing his whole imaginary conversation with Rohan, Sid looks at Rohan who was having his hand on his cheek and almost sleeping. He goes shakes Rohan awake and,


S (in a funny angry tone) - Tu so raha hai? Main itna sab kuch kehtey jaa raha hoon and tu so raha hai? Kuch batha'ega bhi?


Ro (mocking) - Kya batha'on Sid. Tumne toh mera bhi role perform kardiya. What else do you want to ask?


S - I want to ask about what you think. Tumhe kya lagta hai Shreya aur Siyali ke baarey mein.


Ro - Sid tu mujse yeh baath kyun pooch rahey ho? Mera opinion se kuch farak nahi padney waala hai.


S (serious) - What do you mean by farak nahi padney waala hai. I'm not having this conversation with you that too in midnight if mujhe tumharey baath se mujhe kuch farak nahi padega. Rohan, I'm asking you for your help. I want to know if I'm right or wrong. Aur tumse zyaada koi mujhe advise dey nahi sakta hai because itney saalon mein tumse zyaada koi mujhe achey se jaanta tak nahi hai. Ofcourse you were my best friend. And even amongst all that enemity and hatredness, jab bhi mujhe koi problem thi, you were there to tell help me out. Kyun ki tab bhi humari friendship tumharey liye important thi.And aaj as a best friend, main tumse advise maang raha hoon and you're asking me how it makes a difference?


Ro - Ok fine. Zyada senti math ho jaana. Karloonga. But one condition (angry) Tu na phir se mujhe Vidurshi ke naam se blackmail math karna.


Sid and Rohan both smile and come to an agreement.

Next day, Parth was seen sitting on the parapet near the ground and reading a novel that Vibha maam had given him the first time. Krissan came walking in the corridor humming a music. She sees Parth and,


K - Parth? Utkarsh ko kahin dekha?


P - Woh Library mein hai.


K (doubtful) - Like really? Library mein kya kar raha hai?


P - Library mein log kya kartey hain Krissan? Pad raha hai.


Krissan opened her eyes wide open and gave a shocked look.


K - Utkarsh pad raha hai?


P - Haan. Next week class test hai na.


K - I think i need to talk to him.


As Krissan was about to walk away,


P - Krissan. Utkarsh Library issliye gaya hai kyun ki woh nahi chahta hai ki koi usse baath karey.


Krissan thinks for a minute about what Parth said and walks away. She enters the library and sees Utkarsh staring at the textbook. She walks towards him,


K (singing) - Hey Utkarsh.


Utkarsh looks at Krissan stares and doesn't reply.


K (whispers) - Kya kar rahe ho?


U - Pad raha hoon


K (whispers) - Par kyun?


U - Next week exams hain na iss liye.


K (whispers) - Tum kab se itna sincere ho gaye ho?


Krissan starts laughing at this while the Librarian stares at her. Utkarsh got angry,


U (angry) - What is so funny? Main iss liye pad raha hoon kyun ki Siyali chahti thi ke main future mein kuch banoon. Just because woh yahan nahi hai main usse bhoolta nahi hoon. Tum sab ke tarah.


Librarian - Utkarsh. Library hai.


U - Sorry ma'am.


Utkarsh stares at Krissan and continues to look at the book (study). When Krissan tries to talk to him the Librarian points at the board that said "Quiet please" with sign of smiley with the finger on its lips.
