Episode 48 : Done with the Mission

As Gautam was fuming in anger, Sunaina touched his shoulder,


Su - Chill Gautam. I'm sure sab kuch teek ho jaa'ega.


G - Ya right. Tum jaakey computer evidence check karo.


While Sunaina switches on the computer,


Su - I still don't understand why you don't stop suspecting Sid?


G - I still don't understand why you don't stop supporting Sid.


Su - Pyaar karta hai Siyali se.


G - Really? Toh sach kyun nahi bathatha hai? Uss raath kya hua tha, Sid ke ilaava koi nahi jaanta hai. Aur Sid, woh bhi nahi jaanta hai. All he has to say is, kissiney uske sier pe maara aur Siyali ko lekar chaley gaye. Right?


Su - May be that's what happened.


G - Fine. Even if that was what happened, uske baad jo hua? Pehli baath yeh hai ki Sid nahi batha raha tha ki uss raath kya hua tha. And then very conveniently, paas mein accident hua aur among all the men in the truck, ek ladki ki jalli hui laash mili. And happily they decided ki woh Siyali hogi sirf uski chain ki evidence pe. Agar koi question karey ki DNA test kyun nahi kiya, toh bindaas yeh kahe ki Laash laapatha ho gayi. Dead body gayab hai.


Su (surprised) - Dead body gayab thi? (Mocking) Par dead body ko tho tum ney hi gayab kiya.


Sunaina looked at Gautam with her interrogating eyes and a smile. Hearing this, Gautam started to smile with embarrassment.


G (still smiling) - Kaam karein.


They continue to search for evidences in the study room.

Next evening, in Warrior High, Utkarsh was seen leaving angrily from the tree in the ground where Niti stood. Niti gets upset and sits down on the parapet. She keeps her book on her lap angrily and tried to study Charlie who saw Utkarsh walking away comes to Niti,


C - Isse kya hua?


Ni (angry) - Iski akal tedi ho gayi.


C - Phir se ladaai ho jayi.


Ni (angry) - Kuch aisa hi. Mainey buss yeh kaha ki agar Shreya Siyali jaisi dikti hai toh ismey uski kya galti hai. Aur yeh kehney laga hi hum sab Shreya ko Siyali ki jagah dey rahey hai. (Emotional) Utkarsh ko kya lagta hai? Sirf woh Siyali ko miss karta hai main nahi?


Niti was getting emotionally angry. As she spoke, tears started falling off her eyes. Charlie keeps his hand on Niti's shoulder to console her,


C - Sab kuch teek ho jaa'ega Niti.


Ni (angry, emotional) - Par kab charlie? Jiss din se Siyali laa pata hui hai tab se ley kar aaj tak hum sab yeh hi line boltey rehtey hai. "Sab kuch teek ho jaa'ega" "Sab kuch teek ho jaa'ega" Par kab teek hoga?


C - It's ok.


Charlie hugs Niti and pats her head. After Niti calmed down,


C - Waise tum log ke 'Dance test' ka result kya tha?


Ni - Woh?


Niti thinks,


[Flash back]


During the dance class, the 4 girls are seen standing bent and discussing something,


K - Ok. Hum sab jaantey hai ki Siyali dance bohat achi karti thi. Ab dektey hai ki Shreya kaisa dance karti hai.


T - Agar achi kari toh Siyali ban jaayegi kya? Hum sab hi toh bohat achey dance kartey hai.


Ni - Siyali ki dance mein ek adha hoti thi.


A - Exactly, woh bohat gracefully aur effortless dance karti hai. Let's see.


As Gayathri ma'am gets inside the class, the students come and stand in the line. Vidurshi was seen talking to ma'am which she seemed to accept. As Vidurshi comes and stands in her place next to Shreya, all of them look at her. She shows a thumbs up.


GMaam - Mujhe information mila ki nayi student aayi hai. Who is that?


Shreya raises her hand. Gayathri ma'am smiles and,


G - Before we start with today's class, Shreya, main tumhara dance dekna chahti hoon. Just 1 minute. Jo bhi tumhe aata hai.


Sh - Ok ma'am.


Shreya walks in front and starts dancing according to Gayathri ma'am's beat. The girls seemed to be impressed with her dance. The beautiful expressions on her face and her grace of dancing was the same as of Siyali. Once she finished her one minute of dancing, all of them clapped while the 5 girls clapped along with a smile on their face and a nod on their head.


GMaam - Great dancing.


Sh - Thank you ma'am.


GMaam - You seemed to be a trained dancer.


Sh - Yes ma'am.


The smile on the 5 happy girls' face disappeared and looked at Shreya doubtfully.


Sh - Harshitha Nair Shregill se training li hai.


GMaam - Woh toh India ki best classical dancers mein se ek hai.


As a smile creeps in on Shreya's face, the girls gave a disappointed look,


Vi (mind voice) - Siyali toh trained nahi thi. Hai na?


She looks at Niti who shakes her head


Ni (mind voice) - Nahi.


A (mind voice) - Mathlab yeh bhi bekar?


K (mind voice) - Like really?


A, Ni, T, Vi (mind voice) - Haan. Like really.


[Flash back ends]


Ni - Siyali ek bohat achi dancer thi. But woh trained nahi thi. Aur Shreya, yeh toh 5-6 saal ki training li hai.


C - So, Iska yeh matlab hai ki Shreya Siyali nahi hai.


Ni - Shayad. Par kabhi kabhi jab Shreya kuch karti hai ya kehti hai, ek bohat si ajeeb si feeling hota hai. Jaise ki Siyali mari nahi apney saamney hi hai. Sochti hoon ki agar yeh Siyali hui toh kitna acha lagega. Par saath'o saath bohat bura lagta hai ki agar yeh Siyali na hui toh? Toh main galti kar rahi hoon ki kissi aur ko Siyali ki jagah dey rahi hoon. Patha nahi kab yeh feeling badal'egi?


As Niti tried her best to comprehend her feeling about Shreya, a tear fell off Utkarsh's eyes who was listening to her speak to Charlie from the other side of the tree. He wiped his eyes before anyone could see. Utkarsh thought something and walked away with a stern look on his face.


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


Next day morning, Gautam was seen having a phone near his ear as he tied his shoe lace,


Ke - Hello.


G - Hello Keshav, main tumhe ek photo whatsapp kar raha hoon. 2 saal ki bacho'on ki photo.


He gets up and takes his bag to leave when he realises he left something behind. He takes the paper bag and walks towards the door continuing to talk,


G - I want to know how they'll look if they are 16. Kar paa'ogey.


Ke - Haan. Tu ghar aa jaa. Hum baad mein kar lengey.


G - Oye bhulakadh. Aaj mein apne ghar jaa raha hoon.


He locks his room and walks through the corridor when he bumps into Shreya who looked restless. She walked behind Gautam as he walked.


G - Kal Mauli baby ka birthday hai.


Ke - Your little niece?


G - Haan haan. Tu buss photo edit karket bhej dheyna.


Ke - Fine. Kal raath ke pehley bhej dhoonga.


G - Bye. (To Shreya) Kya?


Sh - Paisa.


She gives him a sum of money that Gautam counts,


G - Deliver kab ho raha hai?


Sh - Already ho gayi. Debby aunty ke ghar mein hai. Mauli mujse naraaz hogi. 2 mahiney se bol rahi thi, "Shreya, main 'Frozen' waali dress pehan rahi hoon. Hum yeh karengey woh karengey" (sadly) Main usse dek bhi nahi paa'onga.


G - Chill Doll. Phone kar lena. (Teasing) Video calling toh chah karbhi nahi kar sakti.


Sh - Your so mean Gee.


G - I know.


As Gautam gets on his bike to leave,


Sh - Poori party ki recording karlo mujhe dekna hai. And tell Mauli baby "I'm really sorry"


G (teasing) - Main toh kahoonga ki Doll tumhari birthday ko aana hi chahti thi.


Sh (angry) - Tum bolkey toh dekho.


Gautam laughs and waves bye to Shreya as he left.
