Episode 46 : Friendship mein, there's always place for one more.

Next day during the Math Exam, Sid had completed his paper.


PoV "Jo jaanta hoon, kardiya. Isse zyaada betkey bhi kya faida. Submit karkey chala jaata hoon"


He folds his paper and looks aside at Shreya who was writing her exam sincerely. The seatment was in such a manner that in a desk of 3, 2 were made to sit with a gap in between. Sid smiles seeing Shreya and unfolds his paper. He makes a small sound which doesn't catch Shreya's attention. Shreya suddenly makes a funny scream which makes the invigilator, Deepa ma'am come near her,


DMaam - Shreya? Any problem?


Sh (trying to manage) - No ma'am.


As she leaves, Shreya picks up the eraser on her and stares at Sid,


Sh (angrily whispers) - Kya hai?


S (whispers) - 3rd sum ka formula.


As Deepa ma'am turns, they act as though they were seriously writing,


S (whispers) - Siyali? Batha na!


Shreya angrily turns at him,


Sh (whispers) - Main cheating nahi karti.


S (whipers) - Pehley toh kiya karti thi na. Apney dost ki help nahi karogi?


At that time, one of the kitchen staff came with tea and biscuits. Deepa maam went near the door to get it and started talking to her,


Sh (whispers) - Pehli baath yeh hai ki tum mere dost NAHI ho. Hotey bhi na, main dikha'oongi nahi. Kyun ki true friends apney friend ko aise galat kaam karney nahi deytey.


Sid drags himself near Shreya and stares at her,


Sh (whispers angrily) - You're invading my personal space.


Sid snatches her paper and goes back to his place to look through her paper.


Sh (whispers angrily) - Siddarth, wapas karo. You can't do this!


S (whispers) - Remember, I'm not your friend. So nothing is stopping me from doing this.


The whole class was watching them and starts to giggle. Deepa ma'am turns towards the class and shouts,


DMaam (shouts) - Kya ho raha hai? Mainey kisiko doosrey ke paper ko dektey hue dekha, toh usse seedey ek zero milega.


She turns to continue her talk,


Sh (whispers) - Ma'am wahan doosrey ka paper dekney ki baath kar rahi hai aur tum.. You know what. You're right. I'm not your friend. So nothing is stopping me from doing this.


S (whispers confusingly) - Doing what?


Sh - Ma'am?


DMaam - Yes. One minute.


As Shreya stood up and gave an angry look, Sid and the whole class looked shocked. In the time when Deepa ma'am gave the cup back, she snatched the paper from Sid's hand.


DMaam - Yes Siya... Shreya?


Sh - Additional sheet Ma'am.


As Deepa maam takes the sheets, Shreya sits and smiles at Sid. Deepa maam gives Shreya a signed additional sheet and stares at the both of them.


S (whispers, irritated) - Tu na bilkul harami ban gayi.


Sh (whispers playfully) - Tumse hi toh seeka hai.


P (whispers, annoyed) - Excuse me. Exam hall mein yeh conversation zaroori hai kya?


Shreya stares at Sid seeing which he gets up, submits his paper and leaves.

That night, in the girls dorm, all the girls were sitting on Krissan's bed and giggling about something while Shreya stood alone looking at them and feeling lonely.


Ni - Shreya?


Sh - Haan?


Ni - Akeley kyun beti ho, yahan aa'o na.


She walks towards their bed and smiles,


A - Itney bhi awkward rehney ki zaroorat nahi hai, Siyali. Sorry Shreya.


Sh - Its ok. I guess i got used to being called Siyali. Sab log mujhe ussi naam se bularahe hain. You guys act like we're friends. But sach yeh hai ki Warrior high mein main akeli hoon.


T - Aisa bikul nahi hai.. Shreya. Tum akeli nahi ho.


Vi - Haan. Tum Siyali nahi ho. So what? Doesn't mean tum humari friend nah ban sakti. You know what they say, Friendship mein, there's always place for one more.


Ni - Aur waise bhi, "Tum meri friend bano'gey" poochkey aur "Haan. Main tumhari friend bano'ongi" bolne na thodi friendship ho jaati hai.


All of them smile.


K - Agar aisa ho bhi toh kya? We can always start fresh. Waise bhi, past ko dekey jaaye toh hum sab ek doosrey ki jaan ke dushman tey. But now.... (smiles) So, Shreya Shergill, Will you be our friend?


Sh (laughs) - Yes i will.


Shreya goes to hold Krissan's hand of friendship but Krissan takes her hand back which startles the lot.


K - Ek condition hai.


Sh - Kya?


K - Utkarsh ke saamney, this never happened.


And laughs. Shreya also smiles and holds Krissan's hand. All of them have a group hug with Shreya and then settle back on the bed,


Vi - Waise Shreya.. Tumhari smile kitni cute hai.


A (teases) - Humari Siyali tumse bilkul alag, Saddu amma thi woh.


Sh - Humare haath mein kya? Kaun kaisa hai? Kaisa bandaa hai? Aur kaise badal jaata hai? Sab haalat par depend karta hai. Jo hasney waaley ko rula deyta hai. Aur Saddu amma ko bhi smile karney sikha deyta hai.


As Shreya was thinking hard while saying so, all the others were staring at her.


Ni (shocked) - Tum bilkul Siyali jaise baath karti ho.


Sh - What?


Ni - Kuch nahi.


Niti and the others come back to senses and stop staring at Shreya.

After the next exam, Rohan was seen sitting inside the music room and studying for the next exam while Vidurshi was standing near the door and touching the pendant of the chain (the one Gautam had planned to give her).


[Flash back]


While Vidurshi is seen wearing the chain Gautam presented her,


G - You know Vi, Law padney mein ek bohat hi bada disadvantage hai. Jahan bhi dekho mujhe crime nazar aata hai, Case nazar aathi hai. Aur jab se tumne Siyali ke baarey mein mujhe bola mujhe chen se neendh bhi nahi aa rahi hai. Curiosity badti hi jaa rahi hai.


Vi - Curiosity toh mujhe bhi hai.


G - But I can't live with curiosity. Jab tak mujhe saare jawab nahi mil jaata hai, i just can't stop thinking. Aur mujhe yeh patha chala ki Siyali aur Utkarsh saath mein orphanage mein admit hue tey. Aur Utkarsh tab teek se bol bhi nahi paatha tha. And Siyali told the authorities that he was Utkarsh Rajput wagera. I'm just thinking who she is. If... If only if i knew someone who knows the answer.


As Vidurshi thinks about what Gautam said, he smirks looking at her.


[Flash back ends]


Meanwhile, Gautam was wearing a bluetooth is his ear and,


G (to himself) - Yeh Vidurshi kitni der door ke bahar hi khadi rehegi? Rohan se itna darti kyun hai?


In the music room, Rohan was trying to solve a sum due to which he was giving angry looks,


Vi (to herself) - Jaa'on? Nahi. Rohan ka mood bohat karaab lagraha hai. Jaa'on kya?


Gautam listens to Vidurshi talking and,


G (to himself) - Yeh kisse baath kar rahi hai? I hope she isn't speaking to herself. Apne aap se baath karney ko pagal boltey hai.


He looks at himself in the mirror and stops talking to himself.


Meanwhile, Vidurshi was twisting her feet and talking to herself saying "Jaa'on ya Nahi" when she slipped and fell.


"Ouch" Rohan looked at the door to see Vidurshi sitting down (rather fell down) touching her back and giving painful looks. Rohan looks at her, and slowly burst into laughter. Vidurshi stared at him from the corner of her eyes and then stopped to give embarrassed cute looks.
