There was pin drop silence in the ground that they could hear the wind blowing. Sid and Siyali looked at each other.

<Music plays - Kal ho na ho (instrumental)

                           Sid looks at Siyali who was giving a simple smile and remembered their last moments together. Their time on the terrace, through the woods and finally being dragged away from him.

Si - Sid? Sid?

Sid came back to his senses and looked at Siyali who was right in front of him on her wheel chair. The friends stood few feet away from them.

Si (sweetly) - Kaise ho Sid?

Sid continued looking at her dumbfounded.

Si - Mujhe patha tha ke yehi reaction milega. Par mujhe laga tum surprised hojaoge. Par tum shocked ho.

Siyali looks at Sid's hand holding Shreya's hand and then at her face.

Si - You must be Shreya.

Sh - Hi Siyali. Ab samajh mein aa raha hai ke sab ko main Siyali kyun lagi. We look a lot alike.

Si - Haan.

She smiles at Shreya and looks at Sid.

Si - Mujhe andhar chalna chahiye. (Calls out) Utkarsh.

Utkarsh awkwardly walks to Siyali and holds the handles of her wheelchair. He looks at Sid who was still not able to say a word. As Utkarsh starts pushing,

Si - Sid?

S - Huh?

Sid turned to Siyali who looked at him with red eyes and a smile,

Si (weak voice) - Don't feel guilty...

She looks at Shreya, then at Sid and finishes her sentence,

Si (weak voice) - About anything.

As she nods her head to Utkarsh, Utkarsh continues to push her and take her into the school while all the other friends followed them leaving Shreya and Sid the only ones on the ground.

S (shocked) - Yeh kaise ho sakta hai? How is this possible? Tum.. tum Siyali ho.

He looks at Shreya who felt sorry for Sid.

Sh (feeling sorry) - I'm not. I never was. I guess yeh ab valid nahi hai.

She takes her hand off from Sid's hand. With a convincing smile on her face,

Sh (hurt, sad) - Kuch din pehle maine tumse kuch pucha tha. Main ya Siyali? Mere sawaal ko toh tumne dodge kar diya. Par kuch hi din mein Siyali tumse yahi sawaal karegi. Tab kya karogey? (Thinks) Mere hisaab se jawab obvious hai. Unless you have fallen for Shreya thinking that she's Siyali. It's time you start thinking and make your choice Siddharth Rajput. Siyali or Shreya. Who is it going to be?

She walks away with a smile while Sid couldn't believe his own eyes. He was so sure a moment ago. It felt like his world was collapsing right in front of him. He watched Siyali and his friends taking the right side corridor; while Shreya took the left side corridor. They were two different people. How could he go wrong. As the words "Siyali or Shreya" kept ringing in his head and the world around him spun fastly, Sid shut his eyes tight, closed ears with both his hands and screamed "Shut up!!!!!"

He opened his eyes to see that he was in the classroom and Shwetha was looking at him shocked.

Shwetha (stammering) - I. I.. thought you were sleeping.

S - Huh?

Shwetha - Tum theek ho? Tumhe pasina aa raha hai.

She walks to him and offers her handkerchief looking shy. He doesn't take it and breathes hastily. He touches his forehead with both his hands looking stressed. Shwetha knowing that Sid isn't going to talk to her leaves. Sid runs his fingers through his hair and takes hold of them. He looks up at the clock on the wall and realises it was lunch time.

<Music plays - Ishaara (Force 2)>

                           Sid enters the mess and looks at the table where his friends usually sat for Lunch. Shreya was seen sitting near Niti and opposite to Parth. They were having a conversation.

pal bhar mein tere ho jaayenge

koi ishaara to karo

tere bin kahaan aur kidhar jaayenge

zara samjhaa to karo

saaye se tere lipat jayenge

koi ishaara to karo

                           As she was talking, Shreya turned her sight to Sid and looked at him with a little distress.

chupke se neendon mein aa jayenge

koi ishaara to karo

raaton se teri guzar jayenge

koi ishaara to karo

                          As Sid walked towards the food serving section, the continued to look at each other. Everyone around noticed how they were looking at each other for such a long time. Lucky who was sitting next to Shreya shook his hand in front of her to stop the entire hall from staring at them.

Ah. Ah...

                          As Sid walked by the corridor with a bottle of juice in hand, he recollected few memories - Dream Siyali turning her head to see him, Dream Shreya turning to him, Siyali smiling at him during their last day together at the terrace, Siyali smiling at him at the campfire, Shreya smiling at him when he sang to her and finally when Siyali turned to see him and smiled before she went upstairs when they sneaked into the staff room.

A, U, Vi (shouts) - Sid!!!

S - Huh?

Sid comes to his senses and looks around to realise that he's in the medical room. The three stare at him, while Vidurshi waves her hand at him and Sid responds with a wave.

A - You look lost.

S (confused) - Huh? (Thinks) Nahi. Mujhe yahin aana tha. Doc nahi hain?

U - Nahi toh.

Sid turns to leave when,

A - What do you want Sid?

S - Sardard ke tablets.

A - Beitho! Main le aati hoon.

S - How do you know where they are?

A - You seem to have forgotten. (Laughs) I practically live here.

Vidurshi and Utkarsh giggle hearing the same. Sid takes Angela's seat while she goes inside to get medicines. Vidurshi looks at Sid with concern and,

Vi (sad) - Sid? Tum theek ho?

Utkarsh widens his eyes and looks at Vidurshi to stop her from blurting out about any of the things they discussed. Vidurshi sees this and,

S - Mujhe kya hua hai?

Vi - Your eyes are super red.

S - Haan. Kuch din se theek se soya nahi.

Vi - Kyun?

Angela peeping from behind the medicine cupboard asks,

A - Do you need some sleeping pills?

U (tensed) - Angela? Pagal ho gayi ho kya? Aise kaise kisiko bhi sleeping pills deti rehti ho?

A - Nahi. Other medicines deti hoon.

U (tensed) - You're going to get caught someday!!

S - Chill guys! I don't need it Angela! Waise bhi I'm trying not to sleep.

Vi - Kyun?

S (tired) - Sotha hoon toh night mares aate hain yaar.

Sid turns to Vidurshi full of curiosity and,

S - Tumhare saath aisa hota hai kya? You just want to wake up from your dream. But kar nahi paathe ho kyun ke tumhe patha hi nahi hota hai ke Sach ha ya sapna.

Vi (confused) - Nahi! Most times I try not to wake up. Mujhe ending patha lagana hota hai. (Excited) Jaise ki last time main na bohat hi interestinh sapney dekh rahi thi. Hum sab ko intergalactic police chase kar rahe the, aur end part mein iss idiot ne mujhe utaliya.

She stares at Angela who was entering the medicines in the record. While Sid was laughing hearing this,

S (laughs) - Tumhe aise bhi sapne aate hain?

Vi - Haan. Mujhe har tarah ke sapney aatey hai. Starting from going on stage and not being to sing to World ending.

S (laughs) - Ghaash mujhe bhi aise sapney aatey.

Vi - Why? What did you dream of now.

S - Siyali mere saamney thi.

Vi (teasing) - Romantic!

Angela gives him the medicine. Sid takes it in his hand and looking down stressfully,

S - Aur Shreya mere saath!

He rolls his eyes right and left and leaves the room after thanking Angela. Angela and Vidurshi looked at each other perplexed. Sid continued to ponder over his choice.
