Episode 88 - Off the record

The trio continued to chat about significant events leading to the present situation.




A (excited) - Then later I got a letter from junior section. My first letter. Asking for my advise. I was so happy. I shouldn't compliment myself par maine ek bohat hi acha reply likha tha. And I was waiting for the reply. That was when you guys saw sir giving the "No" isharaa.


U, Vi (nodding their heads, understanding) - Aaaaaa!


A - Phir Jaz aayi. And she really liked how I was getting letters asking advises. And usse laga, agar sabko itna useful lag raha hai, then we should do this as counselling. And that's how this started.




Utkarsh and Vidurshi seemed impressed by the whole storyline and also wondered how they were so oblivious of all the happenings.




U - Reply letters typed hote hain na! Phir letter kyun likh rahi thi. And what's the story behind blushing?


A (frustrated) - Two times. Itney mahino mein, Maine do hi bar letter likha. And that too because main computer ka wait nahi kar sakti because the letter was too sweet (shy) and a little flirtly to be exact.


Vi (squeaky voice) - Flirtyyyyy!!??




Angela tried to act uninterested but involuntarily smiled,




A (acting cute) - Nothing like that. Was just a guy jo regularly likhta tha. He used to share his problems. And when my advices helped him out, he used to send little drawings. Really cute ones. (Stern) Nothing else.


U (teasing) - Yeh sab nothing nahi hai. Koi tujhpe line maar raha hai.


A - Seriously? This is like when tum aur tumhare dost chat kar rahey hain and your laughing at something and your dad walks in and thinks that your talking with your boyfriend. Don't be typical.


U (scared) - Okay. Chill.


A - Waise bhi, letters aana bandh hogaye hain. It's been 3 weeks.


Vi (teasing) - 3 weeks haan. (Singing) Someone's missing someone. Someone's missing someone.




Utkarsh joined in and both of them were teasing Angela sounding like a little kid.




Ro - Wow!


Three of them turned towards the door and saw an awkward looking Rohan.




A - Rohan? Tum yahan?


Ro (awkward) - Ah! Hai! I came to meet Vidurshi. Hi Vidurshi.




As Vidurshi was on the bed near to the door, Rohan stayed right there and waved his hand. Vidurshi responded with an awkward wave.


As Rohan continued to stand by the door, the trio remained silent and giving uncomfortable expressions.




Ro (awkward) - So I met her... (Pause) Now I'l leave.


Rohan turned to leave when Vidurshi called out for Rohan. He turned to her. Vidurshi looked right at him and with a cute smile,




Vi - Thank you... Mera khayal rakhne ke liye.


Rohan responded with a nod and a smile and left the room to them. Vidurshi peeped seeing if he left and turned to Angela who with raised eyes brows grined at her.




A (indirectly) - Utkarsh, kuch log humari kahani mein bohat interested hotey hain. Par khud ki kahani humse share hi nahi karte.


Vi - Meri koi kahani nahi hai.


A - Then what's this between you and Rohan?


Vi - He just took care of me when I was sick.


A - Aaan. Wahi kahani.


Vi - Pehley India ki kahani katham karein, phir jaa'enge, Switzerland.


U - Deal.




The three bump together their fists making a thumbs up marking a deal.




Vi - So what's next?


U - I don't know.


A - Mainey suna tumhara aur Niti ka jhagda ho gaya? What happened.


U - Woh....




Utkarsh looked hesitatent as he didn't want to share the incident.




U (hestitating) - Can I not tell? (Makes up his mind) I can't tell. Jo bhi hai, Mere Siyali aur Niti ke beech ke kuch cheezein buss humarey beech ki hin hai. Main share nahi kar sakta hoon. Maaf kardo yaar.


Vidurshi's looks at Angela, both of nod looking at each other and smiling at Utkarsh,




Vi - We understand!


The three smile at each other,




A - Okay, Niti and Utkarsh's fight apart, Yeh Charile aur Ishaan ka chakkar kya hai?


U - Patha nahi. Main buss itna janta hoon ke iskey wajahse Niti aur Trish ka jhagda hua tha.


Vd - You guys are here?




Vidyut entered the medical room to check on Vidurshi,




Vd - Ek free period mila nahi, aur tum teeno shuru hogaye. I'm so proud of Niti, She's in the library working so hard.


A (teasing) - So what is padaku Vidyut doing her instead of being in the library?


Vd - Main buss apni behan ko company dene aaya tha. But I see you guys are already here.




He signalled Vidurshi to move a little and sat next to her on the bed,




Vd - So what are you guys talking about.


U - Charlie Ishaan aur Niti Trish ke jhagadey ke baarey mein.


Vd - Ah. That.


Vi - Bhaiya? Aap ko patha hai kya hua?


Vd - Somewhat. Mujhe exactly nahi patha hai ke Charlie aur Ishaan ke beech kya hua! But it was something about Sid and Rohan.


U - Par woh dono toh ab dost hain.


Vd - Apparently that was the problem. (unsure) Jhagada iss bath se hua ki Sid aur Rohan apney purane doston ko bhoolgaye or some sort. And Ishaan somewhat insulted Charlie for thinking Rohan was doing what Sid was doing or some shit. I really don't know. I guessed all this from Niti and Trish's fight.


A - When did you see them fighting?


Vd - Jhagda mere saamney team room mein hi hua tha.


A (wondering) - How come I didn't see this?


Vd (taunting) - This was few days after you got kicked off.


A (angry) - I didn't get kicked off.


Vd (cheeky) - If you say so.




[Flash back resumes]


After being confronted by Niti, Trishna walks away from Niti as she was busy with the proposal,




Ni (angry) - How can you act like this? Tumhara Ishaan bhi toh involved hai.


T (tired) - Niti, I would really like to help. But I'm really busy. We have less than 2 days to finish all this please understand.


Ni (angry) - Ishaan se zyaada tujhe yeh sab zyada zaaroori hai?


T - I'm not going to fight with you on this.




Trishna turns and leaves back to the desk when she heard Niti murmur,




Ni (angry, murmur) - Isse aur expect bhi kya kar saktey hain? Buss naam ka hi toh boyfriend rakthi hai.


T (shouts) - What did you just say? Just because I'm giving important to my work than his stupid fight. You know what! Tumhari soch bhi tumhari tarah hi hai. Choti.




Niti just stood there shocked while Trishna just walked away to finish her work.


[Flash back pauses]




Vi - Okay. That was intense.


Seeing the others giving bad looks at Utkarsh, he decided to talk up,




U (supporting) - Dekho guys! Niti is just having a bad time okay. Aur upar se Mainey bhi usse jhagad liya. Meri Niti aisi bilkul nahi hai. Woh mushkil waqt mein thi. Aur main uska saath deney ke wajah.....


Vd - It's okay Utkarsh!




Vidyut patted on Utkarsh's shoulder trying to pacify him.




Vd - So are you guys going to stop all the fights!?


A, U, Vi (shouting) - Yes


A - Definitely!!


Vd - Cool.




Vidyut got off the bed and as he was about to leave,




Vd - And as always, If you need any help, I'm there.


Vidyut, making a clicking sound with his tongue, winking with his left eye and pointed his left index, took few steps walking backwards and left. After he left, the trio looked at each other and shrugged.
