As the bell rang, the boxing match started. Cheering for Sid was dominating the whole stadium, the first punch landed right on Sid's left cheek and the cheers stopped in shock. Sid continued getting punched while the crowd went crazy on what was happening. On last punch and Sid landed on the floor of the boxing ring.

P - Why isn't he fighting back?

Parth asked to an annoyed Utkarsh as he sat next to the group. Seeing Parth with the group, Sid got up weak and looked around, missing by few inches, turns back to the outside the corridor to see Shreya standing.

Sh - What are you doing? (Shouts) Fight! Fight Sid.

She stood tensed and concerned and screamed. Sid stared at her as he continued to get punched.

A (shouts) - Come on Sid!

Ni - You can do it.

The audience continued to cheer as hard as possible. Shreya panted heavily, closes her eyes as he gets another hit, when she opened her eyes, a tears dropped off her eyes. She wipped the tear, and looked at the tear on her finger and then at Sid. Sid smiles at her, as he finally dodged a punch. The opponent looked confused and so did his team mates. Sid with a huge smile on his face wipes off the blood near his mouth and turned to his opponent. And the real match beginned. Sid started fighting back. But because he lost all his energry, he decided to finish the match soon with one punch. PUNCH!!! And the opponent fell backwards on the floor. 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. 10. WINNER he took Sid's hand and announced him as the winner. The audience screamed in excitement. Utkarsh gets up being annoyed,

Ni (shouts) - Jaa raha hai? Charlie ka match next hai.

U (murmurs) - Waise bhi haarney hi waala hai.

Ni (shouts) - Kya?

Utkarsh just leaves while Niti looks at Angela and asks her what happened to which Angela has no idea. Sid directly walks to a miserble Shreya. He took off his gloves, and smiling at Shreya wipes her tears,

S (sarcastic) - I thought you didn't care!

Sh (emotional) - Don't do that again!

Sid gave a even bigger smile and nodded. He took Shreya's hand and walked into the school along with her.

[Flash back pauses]

Utkarsh was looking at his bowl serious as he ate few spoons of rice while Vidurshi held in her spoon into her mouth like a lolipop. Angela stared at the two repeatedly.

A (a little angry) - So! None of you are going to say anything??

U - Kiske baare mein.

A (a little angry) - Sid ke behavior ke baarey mein. He just threw Charlie under the bus. This explains Charlie's fight with Ishaan. Ishaan would've definitely said something.

U (tired) - Sid bura nahi hai.

A (frustrated) - Utkarsh stop with the yeh bura nahi hai woh bura nahi hai. I don't believe in classifying people into good and bad. Main buss yeh bathaney ki koshish kar rahi hoon ki uski yeh harkath theek nahi thi.

U (also frustrated) - Woh mujhe bhi patha nahi. But then...

Vi (finishes him) - If you love someone, you must accept everything about them, even their faults.

A - Iska yeh mathlab nahi ke tumhara dost, in your cases, tumhara bhai galat rastey pe chaley aur tum buss dekhtey raho. I'm not telling you to drag him to the right path or something. Par humari duty hai as a friend, to tell him that what he is doing is wrong. Normal circumstances mein he's fine. He's friendly. He's concerned. But baath jab Siyali pe aati hai, he doesnt think straight. He becomes super inconsiderate towards his friends. And you know that kind of a relationship is toxic.

Angela rolls her eyes not knowing whether she should have said the last bit.

Vi - You know what he needs!! An Intervention. Humey directly Sid ko yeh sab bathana chahiye. And I'm the three of us won't be the only ones with something to say.

U - You're right! But Angela, unka yeh relationship toxic nahi hai. Mera Bhai Jo hai, woh thoda sarphira hai. Aur isliye Siyali ka uska saath rehna zaroori hai.

Utkarsh looked at Angela and continued the story,

[Flash back resumes]

Known to Utkarsh, Sid stood in the boxing practice room in front of the mirror checking out the wounds out his face. Shreya walked near him and turned him towards her. She touches one of wounds gently. "sss" Sid reacted in pain,

Sh (lovingly) - Dukh raha hai?

S - Haan.

Sh (lovingly) - Toh tumhe stage pe statue nahi banna chahiye tha na!

Shreya's loving look turned into an angry glare. She hit Sid's on his left shoulder. "Aaah" As Sid shouted in pain, Shreya continued hitting him left and right,

Sh (angry) - Kya zaroorath thi yeh sab karne ki ? Hero samajhte ho apne aap ko? Filmy lag raha hai? Mazaa aa raha hai.

S (jumping) - Siyali! Siyali! Sach mein dard ho raha hai.

Sh (angry) - Ab dard ho raha hai. Tab nahi?

S - Mujhe marne ke liye yahan aayi.

Sh - Tumhe kya laga. Dawa laganey aayi hoon. Abhi abhi mainey kaha, filmy math bano!!

As she was about to place another hit, Sid uses his hands to block hers.

Sh (angry) - Ah! Block kar rahe ho! Yeh stage mein karna chahiye tah. Yahan nahi.

Sid starts running away from her while she chased. Seeing Utkarsh outside, He runs near the exit.

S - Utkarsh, mere bhai bacha'o.

Utkarsh closes the door from outside while Sid dashes into the door,

S (shouts, funny) - Utkarsh! Kya kar raha hai.

U (shouts from outside) - Mere taraf se bhi kheech ke do lagana Siyali.

Sid leaning against the door turns towards an angry Shreya who walks towards him.

Unknown to Utkarsh, There was a little bit of running and chasing after which Sid held both of Shreya's hands to stop her from beating him.

Sh (angry) - Hath chodo!

S - Promise karo. Maro'gi nahi!

Sh (angry) - Fine.

Sid leaves her hands and sits on the bench while she continued to angrily stare at him.

Sh (angry) - You do realize that yeh karkey tum mujhe nahi apne aap ko hurt kar rahe ho.

S - Tum aayi nahi toh....

Sh - So what if I don't come for one match Sid. Isku wajah se tum apna yeh haal banao'ge. This is not a sign of a good relationship. Aur tumne socha hai ki Urmila ma'am aur Anwesha ma'am ko kaisa lagega.

S (guilty) - Utkarsh bhi kaafi gussey mein lagraha hai.

Sh - Utkarsh ko chodo. Main tumhare pariwar ki baath kar rahi hoon.

S - Wahi.....

Sh (angry) - Agar ek aur baar aise kiya na,

Shreya angrily pointed her finger at a guilty Sid.

S - Sorry!

Sh - Why are you telling me sorry!

S - Coffee date ki incident ke liye.

A surprised Shreya looks at Sid who was benting down and kept both his elbows on his lap and held his hand together, looking sorry.

S (emotional) - Maine bohat socha. Pariwar ya nahi. Unlogon ne itne mahiney tumhara khayal rakha, pyaar diya, yahan tak warrior high bhi bheja. Must be nice people. Aur tum unhe apni family bhi maanti ho. Mujhe samaj mein aaya ki tumhe itna gussa kyun aaya. But then, I stand by what I said. Woh tumhari family nahi hosakte hai. Because if that's true, then it would mean that you're not Siyali.

He lifts his head towards Shreya and,

S (strong) - Aur tum... Meri Siyali hi ho! Sorry! Par iss baath ke liye main sorry nahi hoon.

Sid continued to look at Shreya who stood few feet away from him and looking at him with eyes that understood what Sid felt, but lips that didn't know what to reply.
