Episode 42 : It's not your fault

In the library, Gautam looks at Vidurshi and,


G - By the way, tumse kuch poochna tha.


Vi - Ya?


G - I heard that Utkarsh Sid ka long last bhai hai.


Vi - Haan.


G - So Utkarsh Rajput Siddarth Rajput kabhai hai. Urmila Rajput ka beta hai. Anwesha Rajput ka Pota.


Vi - So


G - Then who is Siyali Rajput?


Vi (doubtful) - I. Don't. Know?


Gautam understood that if he would get all the answers for his questions easily, he would've solved Siyali's case ages ago.


Vi - Ek saal pehley, Rohan ne mujhe yeh same question poocha tha. Usse lagta tha ki Anwesha ma'am Siyali ko already jaanti thi. After all Siyali bhi ek Rajput hai. Usse yeh bhi doubt tha ki Utkarsh Sid ka long lost bhai hai. Turned out to be right. Jab hum sab ko patha chala, we were shocked. But Rohan...


G - Ofcourse. Uska guess right nikhla.


Vi - No Gee. Jab hum kuch guess kartey hai and it turns out to be right, we'll be like "Yes. Mera guess right nikhla". But he was behaving like "Ya. Utkarsh is Sid's brother. So what?" Jaise ki woh already jaanta hai. Shayad Sid ne bathaya hoga.


G - Jiskey baarey mein Sid ne kisiko nahi bathaya. Woh Rohan ko kyun batha'ega?


Vi - Dono best friends hai.... (thinks) the..


G - Still...


Vi - You know Gee. Even though we have a lot of friends, hum sab ko sab kuch nahi bathatey hai. You have that one friend jisse aap sab kuch bathatey hai. The most personal of things. Sid ke liye, Rohan woh friend hai.


Gautam PoV "That means agar mujhe Sid ke baarey mein kissi se info mil sakti toh woh Rohan hai. But Rohan itni aasaani se mujhe toh kuch nahi kahega. Who will he tell to? Kiske poochney se Rohan batha'ega?


He looks at Vidurshi from the corner of his eyes and,


G - Agar Sid ke liye Rohan woh friend hai. Toh Rohan ke liye woh friend kaun hai?


Vi - Obviously, Sid hoga.


G - Other than Sid?


Vi - Patha nahi. Ishaan may be. But Rohan ki deepest darkest secret usse nahi bathata. There are so many things that no one knows. Jab bahar aatha hai, only Sid knows them.


G - What about you?


Vi - Me?


G - Haan. Rohan tumse toh sab kuch share karta hoga na!


Vi (laughing) - Mujse? No ways. Main uski best friend kya close friend tak nahi hoon. Mujse kuch bhi kyun kahega.


G - Fact hai. Insaan apni sab se personal baath and personal problem ko best friend se share karta hai ya phir girl friend se. Ek Sid hoga. Doosri Tum.


Vi (shocked) - Main Rohan ki girl friend nahi hoon.


G - Really? I though he liked you.


Vi (cutely sad) - No, he doesn't like me.


G (teasing) - Itni sadly "He doesn't like me".? Toh tum usse like kartey ho.


Vi (shocked) - No i dont.


G - Yes you do.


Vi - No i dont.


G (laughing) - Yes you do. Mere yahan aaye sirf 10-15 din ho gaye aur mujhe itna saaf nazar aa raha hai. Not you?


Vi (stammering) - Woh. Actually. Woh.. Class ka time ho gaya hai.. Main jaa rahi hoon.


Vidurshi leaves the library in a confused state while Gautam wasn't. He was clear as to what the next step was.


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


Sid walked into the gym and punches the punching bag. As Sid turns to punch it again, Utkarsh stood in front of the punching bag. This stops Sid.


U - Sid kya kar rahe ho?


S - Dikhta nahi? Punch kar raha hoon.


U - Main mom ke bare mein pooch raha hoon. Itney din se tum mom se itna rude kyun behave kar rahe ho? Patha hai woh kitni worried hai?


S - Worried? Aur Mom? Mujhe toh aisa nahi lag raha hai. Jab se tu aaya hai, she doesn't give a damn about me. You know why? Kyun ki itne saal se she wanted someone to make her proud. Iss liye mere parwa.. no mere training karte thi. Now she has you. Aur training ki bhi zaroorat nahi hai. Tum jo bhi karogey, unko proud feel hoga.


As Sid spoke, Utkarsh stood rooted to the ground in shock,


S - You know Utkarsh? Bachpan se main unki har baath maanta raha. Unki har wish poori karney ki koshish ki. But she was never proud. Woh mujhe Prathick Rajput jaise banaana chahtithi. Prathick Rajput, mera dad. Did you know unkey saamney main apney dad ko dad tak bol sakta. Bachpan se hi mujhe doubt tah, main unka beta hoon ya nahi. Right now, woh doubts frequently aaney lagey. But tumharey liye, everything is different. Unke laadley bete ho. Tu galti bhi karta, she won't be angry with you. But don't worry Utkarsh, yeh sab se mere aur tere beech ka relationship nahi badlega. Kyun ki yeh sab tumhari galti nahi hai. Aur Mom, main unhe kabhi maaf nahi karoonga.


Sid looked really emotional when he said and meant every word he said. He looked at a shocked Utkarsh and left the gym.


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


Vidurshi is seen walking in the corridor holding her books as if she was hugging them. As she walks by, she remembers Gautam's works about Rohan and her,


Vi - Pagal hai woh. Like him itseems.


Ro - Like whom?


Vidurshi turns her head to see Rohan standing near her. He walks in front of her with a cute smile,


Vi - Rohan? Tum ab tak gaye nahi?


Ro - Jaa raha tha. Par tumse kuch kehna tha. Patha nahi phir se mauka miley ya na miley.


Vi - What?


Ro - I... ahm.. I..


Vidurshi widens her eyes and holds her books tight,


Ro - I'll miss you.


Vi - Oh.


Ro - Tumhe kya laga?


Vi (embarrassed) - Kuch nahi. It's weird. Tum mujhe miss karogey? 2 months of holidays mein toh bilkul nahi miss kiya aur ab?


Ro - Kisney kaha kr miss nahi kiya? Har minute har second tumhe hi miss kiya Vidurshi.


Vi (in a funny tone) - Yeh line kahin suna lag raha hai. Ek minute. Sanam Re ke dialogue ka modified version hai yeh.


Rohan laughs seeing Vidurshi's expression and,


Ro - Look at what you've done to me Vidurshi. Bilkul pagal banadiya hai mujhe. You know what Sid says? Jab tum kissi aur ke liye pagal crazy cheezein karney lagtey ho, it means you're in love with that person.


Vi (cutely) - Really?


Ro - Isse zyaada proof chahiye tumhe?


Vidurshi smiles and hides her face behind her books for a minute.


Vi - I just can't believe mere saath yeh sab ho raha hai.


Ro - Me too.


Both of them look at each other and smile.
