Episode 69 : That's my girl!

As the gang walks into the library, Vidyut enters looking for Vidurshi through the corridor. He dashes into someone.




Vd - Sorry.


Me - It's Ok. Main tumhe hi doond rahi thi.


Vd - Mujhe? Another advise and counselling section? Because I'm really not in the mood for that. I could use counselling myself. You know what? Warrior High has an official counsellor, Jasmine. Computer lap mein video call kar saktey ho. Ok?


Me - Ek minute Ek minute. Koi counselling nahi. Kissi aur cheez ke baarey mein baath karni thi.


Vd - Oh. Ab thoda busy hoon. Baad mein may be.


Me - Okay.




Megha replied with a smile and turned to leave.




Vd (shocked) - Ok?


Vidyut have a cute questionable look and remembers,




[Flash back]


Me - Yen baad mein vaad mein kissi aur se bathana. I want it now. Nahi dey saktey ho toh i can get it done myself.


[Flash back ends]




Vd - Actually. Uhm. We can talk now.


Megha turns and smiles at Vidyut


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


Vidurshi goes into the washroom and starts washing her face and suddenly feels a presence. She starts opening every cubical to see if there was someone. Finally, she opens the last one to find it empty. She turns and screams.




Vi (panting) - Angela. What are you doing here?


A (scared) - Teri chinta ho rahi thi. Hua kya? You don't look alright.


Vi (almost crying) - That's because I'm not. Angela.


A (sad) - Why? Tu kisiko bathathi kyun nahi. We're here to help.




As Vidurshi starts crying, Tears also start rolling from Angela's eyes.




Vi (crying) - You can't help. Tu ro kyun rahi hai Angela?


A (crying) - Kyun ki tu ro rahi hai. I can't seem to help aur iss liye mujhe bohat bura lag raha hai.


Vi (crying) - Angela, you can help.


A (crying) - Kaise?


Vi (crying) - A hug may be.




Angela hugs Vidurshi as she cries. Few minutes later, both of the are seen sitting in the ground near the corridor. Angela looked at Vidurshi who had her head Bowed down but her eyes rolled around.




A - Vi, kya doond rahi ho?


Vi (stammering) - Kuch nahi.




Angela gives a look at Vidurshi seeing which Vidurshi turns her head up and,




Vi (stammmering, scared) - Kuch din se, aisa lagta hai ki koi mujhe nazar rak raha hai. Jaise ki main kahin bhi jaa'on. Koi mera peecha kar raha hai. You know when you watch a psychotic triller like "when a stranger calls".. mujhe aisa lag raha hai. Whereever I'm, dorm mein baathroom mein class mein whatever I'm doing koi mujey dek raha hai. Har waqt (Tears rolling, childish) Mujhe toh yeh bhi lag raha hai ki woh mujhe maar dega. Just like what all the stalkers do.


A (concerned) - Vidurshi? Tujhe lagta hai ki tujhe koi stalk kar raha hai?


Vi - Mujhe patha hai.


A - Par yahan? school mein? Waise bhi tujhe aisa kyun lag raha hai? All of a sudden. Kuch toh hua hoga!




Vidurshi rolled her eyes.




A - Fine. Tujhe nahi bathana hai tho. Its ok. Ab, buss hum dhono hai right? Ya aur bhi hai?


Vi - I don't know. Par aisa lagta hai ki I'm never alone these days.




Suddenly both of them hear a sound from the bushes and turns. Seeing them turn, whoever was behind hide.




Vi (scared) - Mainey kaha na Angela. Woh mujhe follow kar raha hai. I told you know..


A - Vidurshi. Vidurshi. Vidurshi. Koi nahi hai. It's just the wind.




Angela shook Vidurshi to her sense and tried to stop her. After few minutes, Vidurshi stop freaking out and,




Vi - Sorry. Yeh problem mujhe khaayi jaa rahi hai and I don't know how to get out of this.


A - Vidurshi? Who doesn't have problems in their life. Har kisiko hai.




Vidurshi stares at Angela with the corner of her eyes. Angela laughs and,




A - Fine. Fine. I'm not saying anything.


Vi - You know Angela. Meri mom kehti thi. Koi bhi problem se nikalney ka 3 ways hotey hai. Either get the problem away from you. Or you go away from the problem.


A - Aur theesra.


Vi - Theesra.. usse bhi badi problem.




Angela smiles and,




A - Your mom was a genius.


Vi - That she is.


A - Boltey waqt thoda smile kar sakti ho.


Vi - Itni problems ke saath smile kaise kar sakti hoon.


A - Ok. Tumhe patha hai tumhari problem kya hai?


Vi - Mujhe koi stalk kar raha hai.


A - Nahi. Tumhari problem hai tumhara darr. Tumhari Negativity. Tum darti ho ki koi tumhe stalk kar raha hai. Ismey darney ki kya baath hai. Tumhe darney ke wajah apney aap ko prepare karna chahiye. Look at me. Tum sab se zyaada toh mujhe darna hai. Main kal aaj abhi kabhi bhi marr sakti hoon. Iss baath ke darr se main jeena toh chod nahi sakti na right. Koyi khoney mein betkey darr se roney se kuch nahi badalega.


Vi (sad) - I wouldn't want you to do that either.


A - Exactly Vidurshi. Darr toh har insaan ko hota hai. But you should never let the fear consume you. Jab tak tum apne problem se darti ho aur usse bhaag ti ho, woh tumharey peechey hi bhaagegi. Zindagi bhar.


Vi - Toh karoon kya?


A (with a motivating smile) - You stop running. You face it and you say "Bring it on"




Vidurshi's lips automatically curves into smile,




A - Tab woh saari problems wahi ki wahi ruk jaayegi. What do you say Vidurshi!


Vi - Bring it on.




Vidurshi said with a big smile. Angela smiled and said,




A - That's my girl.

During the evening snacks, in mess, Megha is seen taking her snacks and coffee in a hurry and tries to leave,




X - Where are you going?


Me - Ahem.....




Megha looked around rolling her eyes. Vidyut was seen reacting from the other side with his coffee and snacks telling her its time. Megha nods her head with a smile and turns her head towards her friends who were extremely near her face.




E (shocked) - You fixed up a date with Vidyut?


Me - It's not a date. It's just coffee.


Y - Tumhari set up hogayi aur tumne bathaya nahi.


X - This is not fair ya.


Me - Excuse me. I don't have to tell you guys everything.




Megha was back to her old self for a second which startled the other three. She takes a deep breathe, smiles and,




Me (cutely) - Ok guys. I'll take your leave now.


The other three stare at Megha's sudden transformation as she walks by.




Meanwhile, Vidyut talks to Vidurshi,




Vd - Are you going to okay?


Vi - Ya.




Vidyut leaves. As Vidurshi stood alone in the mess, she saw Gautam and Shreya walk by laughing about something. Seeing them she turns away scared not facing them. She breathes fast for few minutes. Her sight falls on Angela who was getting food. She remembers her words,


You stop running. You face it..." Vidurshi turns looking at Gautam and Shreya. "and you say "Bring it on""


Vi - Bring it on.
