Episode 53 : What is Dead may never die

In the ground, the guys were laughing. As Vidyut was laughing, Lucky brought his face near Vidyut's and looked at him up close.




Vd - Kya kar raha hai?


L (in a funny tone) - Dek raha hoon ki tum Vidyut ho ya koi aur?


S - Aisa kya ho gaya ki tumhe identify check karna pad rahi hai?


L - I mean. Itney saalon mein toh Vidyut kissi bhi ladkey ko apni behan ke paas aaney tak nahi deyta aur aaj...


Vd - Aaj kya? Yeh kuch naya toh nahi ho raha hai. Inn dono ki yeh nok jhok toh har roz ka fanda ho gaya. And it's damn entertaining.


I - Wow yaar. Tu apni Vi ki love story ko entertaining keh raha hai. Vidyut finally theek ho gaya.


Vd - Main tumhe koi love story ka villian lag raha hoon? Waise bhi yahan koi love story nahi chal rahi hai.


S (whispers) - Not yet.




Vidyut looks at Sid who winks and smiles.


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


Next morning, Sid enters the auditorium along with Charlie. He sees Utkarsh along with Parth who stares at Sid as he enters. Sid sees Shreya standing alone near the stage and she looked as though she hadn't slept the whole night. Sid taps Charlie's shoulder and goes to meet Shreya. He walks towards Shreya and almost keeps his hand on her shoulder when Shreya shouts looking scared.




S (scared) - Theek ho? Kya hua? Itni darri hui kyun lag rahi ho?


Sid keeps his hand on her arm to comfort her. But Shreya moves away from him,




S - Arey. Siyali. Mujhe ignore kyun kar rahi ho? Iska matlab kya hai?


Sh (scared, stammering) - Matlab wahi hai jo tum samajh rahe ho. Main tumhe ignore kar rahi hoon.


S - Par kyun?


Sh (sad, serious) - Kyun ki jab bhi main tumhare paas ya tumhare saath hoti hoon, kuch na kuch galat ho jaata hai. Tumhara mujhse baath karna ya milna jhulna kisiko pasand nahi hai. Aur yeh tum bhi jaantey ho. Issi liye sab ke saamney yeh sab nahi kartey ho. Ek insaan ke liye main poori school se lad nahi sakti hoon. Jaise Gautam ne kaha Tumse door rehna hi mere liye better hai. Please Sid. Mere paas math aa'o. Mujhse baath karney ki koshish math karo. Mujhe akela chod do.




<music starts - Aa ja'o meri tamanna (Ajab Prem Ki Ghazab Kahani)>


                              As Shreya walks away, Sid stands shocked as to why Shreya was so serious and why she suddenly turned a new leaf.


Thoda teher, thoda teher


Sun le zara, sun le zara


Dil keh raha, dil keh raha


De na sazza, yun bewajaa


Root kar mujhse na jaa abhi


Bhool kar shikwa gila sabhi pyaar ka


                                As the assembly progresses, Sid looks at Shreya standing few feet away from him and wonders. He remembers how she was still smiling even after the Utkarsh incident and now all of a sudden she is ignoring him. Later, as Shreya was attending her Biology class, Sid waited outside, sitting in the parapet, walking around, etc waiting for her to come out.


Aa jao meri tamanna


(meri tamanna)


Bahoon mein aao


Ke ho na payee judaa hum


(payee judaa hum)


Aaise mujh mein samaoo


                               Once she comes out, Sid comes near her and tried to reason with her but she just walked away ignoring him and not even looking at his face. Urmila maam sees this from the other side of the corridor and watches Shreya comes near by.


<music>


                                As she came near by, Shreya suddenly looks scared seeing someone and turns back to walk through the other route. Urmila maam looks back to see Utkarsh and looks shocked. As he comes near her,




UMaam - Utkarsh. I need to talk to you.


Utkarsh follows her to her room and




U - Yes mom.


UMaam - Sit down Utkarsh. What's going on?


U - Aap kis cheez ke baarey mein pooch rahe ho?


UMaam - Main Shreya ke baarey mein puch rahi hoon. Yeh kya chal raha hai Utkarsh?


U - I don't know mom. Sid pagal ho gaya hai. Pehle Siyali ke liye mujse lada tha aur ab Shreya ke liye. Siyali toh theek hai. But Shreya. Who is she? Uske liye mujse jhagda kar raha hai. And he is saying ki Shreya hi Siyali hai. Patha nahi usse kya ho gaya.


UMaam - Sid ka behavior excepted hi hai. The first time i saw Shreya i knew this was going to happen. Par mein Sid ki nahi tumhari baath kar rahi hoon.


U - Meri?


UMaam - You and Shreya.


U (irritated) - Mere aur uske beech mein kya? Nothing.


UMaam - That's a lie. I can see that so clearly how much Shreya is scared of you. I've been hearing rumors Utkarsh. About the library incident. Firstly, Shreya went out crying, then Sid came our dirty and bleeding. Kuch hua tha library mein, tum teeno ki beech. But what? I don't know. And i want you to tell me.




Utkarsh's head bent low and he started gazing at his fidgeting fingers. Urmila maam walked near him and touched his hand,..




UMaam - I'm trying to help. Batha'o. What happened.


U (guilty) - Mainey kuch kiya. Joh. Joh. Mujhe karna nahi chahiye tha.


UMaam - I'm your mother Utkarsh. You can tell me. I won't judge.




Utkarsh tells his mom the whole incident on what happened and how Utkarsh's anger made him behave so bad with his brother and his best friend's look alike. Urmila maam listened to all this sitting on the chair next to him.




U - Mujhe patha hai, I shouldn't have behaved like that. Par mujhe bohat gussa aagaya tha. Mujhe patha nahi ki mujhe kya karna chahiye. I don't know mom.


UMaam - I understand. I'm not going to tell you anything Utkarsh. I just want you to remember something. Pichley semester tum Sid ko hate kartey tey because tumhe laga ki usney Siyali ke feelings ke saath khilwaad kiya hai. And then you came to know the truth. How did you feel when you knew the truth.


U - Horrible.


UMaam - Kyun?


U - Kyun ki mainey kissi ko bohat galat socha when he turned out to be a very good person.


UMaam - Exactly. You never know what a person is. So the same applies to Shreya.


U - Accepted mom. But Sid says that Shreya is Siyali. Aur Siyali mar gayi. Aapney uski dead body dekhi thi. Sirf aapney dekha. And i trust you. Apney dekha hai na mom. Tell. Bolo mom.


UMaam (doubtful) - Yes.


U - Toh phir woh Shreya kaise ho sakti hai? Zinda kaise ho sakti hai. How can she be alive?


UMaam (confused, doubtful) - She shouldn't be. She shouldn't be alive. Shreya Siyali nahi ho sakti. Siyali is dead. Woh mar gayi. Mainey khud check kiya. She's dead. She's dead. Yes. She's dead.




Urmila ma'am started telling the same. Utkarsh looked at her confused. It didn't seem like she was trying to convince him. But it rather looked like she was trying to convince herself that Siyali was dead.
