Episode 47 : What's the plan, Partner?

As Vidurshi was leaving the room staring at an angry Rohan,


G (to himself, annoyed) - Great. How do these 2 manage to fight for such silly reasons. Mujhe toh koi information milney nahi wala hai.


Gautam was about to switch it off when,


Ro - One sec.


G (to himself) - No. I'm not listening to this conversation. Atleast ab nahi! Kal subah hi train bhi pakadna hai. I'm out.


Gautam switches the bluetooth off while the mic inside Vidurshi's pendant continued to record.


Ro - Tum batha rahi thi ki tumhe mujse baath karni thi?


Vi - Woh. Haan. Mujhe kuch poochnatha actually. Yeh.. yeh Siyali kaun hai?


Ro (sarcastic) - Seriously? Tumhari koi temporary memory loss ho gayi hai kya?


Vi - No. I know who Siyali is. Matlab. Remember Last semester tumne ek baar bathaya, Siyali shayad Sid ki behan types hogi.


Ro (shocked) - What?


Vi - Wahi toh. Tumne kaha ki woh theeno related ho saktey hain. Then Utkarsh became Sid's brother. Then Siyali? Woh kaun hai?


Ro - Mujhe kaise patha hoga?


Vi - Sid tumhara best friend hai.


Ro - So?


Vi - Usney tumhe bathaya hoga?


Ro - Tho?


Vi - Mujhe batha'o na.


Ro - Main tumhe kyun batha'on?


Vi - Don't be mean Rohan. Main tumhe sab kuch batha thi hoon. But tum ek question ka answer nahi de sakte ho.


Ro (sarcastic) - Sab kuch? Ofcourse.


Vi (angry) - Ya. Mainey ab tak tumse kya chupayi?


Ro (in a funny annoyed tone) - About that. I was hoping ki someday we'll come to this conversation.


Vi (confused) - Ok?


Ro - Sid ka ghar yahan hai.


Rohan was using his fingers to demonstrate,


Ro (with a note of sarcasm) - Aur mera ghar bilkul aas paas. One fine night, Sid ne apni khalai kaatli.


Vi (shocked) - Tumhe kaise patha?


Ro - Exactly. Mere ek dost ne suicide attempt ki hai, aur na Utkarsh ney na Tumne mujhe bathaya. And then you tell "Sab kuch". Makes complete sense.


Vi (embarrassed) - But that was because, Utkarsh ney very clearly kaha ki kissiko bathana math.


Ro - So Vidyut ko kaise patha chala?


Vi (shocked) - Woh mera bhai hai.


Ro (sarcastic) - Ya. Of cousre. Bhai hai. You guys are connected telepathically. Ek sochega toh doosrey ko automatically patha chalta hai. Right?


Vidurshi gave an embarrassed and tired look.


Vi (tired) - But usse ab kya lena deyna hai?


Ro - Jaise ki tum mujhe sab kuch batha nahi sakti, main bhi tumhe sab kuch batha nahi sakta.


Vi (angry) - But it's not like it's some big secret or something no.


Rohan just took his book and got up to leave.


Vi - Ab tum kahan jaa rahe ho?


Ro - Library?


Vi - But i thought wahan crowd hai!


Ro - I prefer the crowd over you.


Vi - You know what? Main hi chali jaathi hoon.


Saying so, Vidurshi leaves the room giving angry cute looks while Rohan went back to study.


Vi (shouts) - Yeh Rohan bhi na. Mera jeena mushkil kar rakah hai.


Ro - I can hear you.


Vi (loud) - Isi liye toh itna loud bola tha.


And she leaves the corridor while Rohan continued to study.

Next day, around 2-3 pm, Outside the Rajput mansion, the man servant of the house was seen going outside,


Servant - Main Khaana beti ko le jaaney jaa raha hoon. Ghar ko dekleyna. Sun rahe ho?


Watchman - Haan. Tu apney kaam pe kaam rak. Apun ko apna kaam teek se patha hai.


As the servant goes, Gautam jumps inside the Rajput mansion along with Sunaina,


Su (whispers) - I'm so excited.


G (whispers) - Dik raha hai.


He looks at Sunaina wearing jean and hooded top. As they walk towards the house, through the garden,


G - Why did i even let you come along?


Su - Let me guess. Token of thanks for everything i did. Waise bhi, Yeh ghar lootney ke liye tumhe ek partner ki zaroorat hai na.


As he tried opening the windows, Gautam gives a annoyed look,


Su - What's the plan Partner?


G - Sunaina. Please. Already main thak chuka hoon, aisi ajeeb ajeeb charecters ko warrior high mein bear karna padh raha hai. Please dont become one of them.


Su - Fine.


They get inside the house through the front balcony window. They walk near the stairs in the hall,


G - Sid ka room, Right mein 2nd room. Tum jaakey photo nikhalo. Make sure ki uss photo mein woh choti ladki ka chehra theek se dikh raha ho.


Su - Tum kahan jaa rahe ho?


G (hasty) - You go, mujhe kuch aur kaam hai.


As Gautam leaves, Sunaina climbs the stairs,


G (calls) - Sunaina?


Su - Ya.


Gautam comes back near the stairs,


G - Tumhare paas koi Credit card hai?


Su - Nahi. But Debit card hai.


G - Give?


Su - Kyun? Tumhare pass nahi hai?


G - Mera wallet car mein hai. Give.


Su (doubtful) - Ok!


Gautam takes the card and goes to a locked room. He uses the card to open the locked room and goes inside. It was the study room. There he was searching for something while Sunaina went and opened Sid's room. She was shocked to see so many photo frames in Sid's room which had memories of his and Siyali's.


Karishma's pictures.


Tour Pictures.


Market selfie.


Christmas picture.


New year picture.


Farewell selfie.


So many. Amongst them was a big photo frame of the little boy and little girl but in the kissing picture, the girl's face wasn't seen. Near the bed was a small frame in which there was another picture of the same kids but in this one, her face was clearly seen. Sunaina takes the picture and leaves the room.


When she arrives at the study room, Gautam was clicking picture of certain documents,


Su - What are you looking for?


G - Any valuable information.


Sunaina sits on the rolling chair near the computer table and spins in the chair as she spoke,


Su - Yeh ameer log hi aisey hai, they have a room for everything. Study room, Music room, Playing room...


G - Picture mili!?


Su - Haan (serious) Waise bhi Gautam. Tumhe Sid ke room ko dekhna chahiye tha. It was filled with Siyali's memories. Uske photos, Uskey cheezein. Bohat obviously dikh raha hai ki woh usse bohat miss kar raha hai. Aur tumne hi toh bathaya, Sid ne suicide attempt tak ki.


Gautam started thinking where Sunaina is going when she was telling all this.


Su - Tumhe lagta hai ki Sid ne Siyali ko maara hoga?


G - I knew you were coming to this. Mere lagne sey ya naa lagney se jo kuch bhi hua woh badal nahi jaata hai. I don't know if Sid actually killed her. But usme Sid ka haath zaroor ho sakta hai.


Su - Come on Gautam. Sid pe kitna doubt karogey. Bichara.


Gautam got angry now and banged the table. He stopped his work, stood straight and looked at Sunaina


G (angry) - Mujhe Sid bichara nahi lagta hai. Mujhe uske liye bilkul bura nahi lagta. Bura lag raha hai toh Siyali ke liye. Ladki anaadth hai. Case close kardiya? Court tak aaney bhi nahi diya. But I won't let that happen. Iss baar main iss case ko court tak lekar bhi jaa'onga and get them punished.


Gautam gives an angry look and decides to stand on what he believes whatever the problem might come.
