Episode 94 - Wrap your head around

[Flash back resumes]


Known to Utkarsh, Lucky was peacefully sleeping in the dorm when he heard clicking sounds. Unable to get past the noise, he got up rubbing his eyes and sees a white face in the dark.


AAHHH!!! He screames and the others wake up and on the light. They see Sid sitting on his bunk bed, switching the torch one and off.




Everyone - Sid!!


L (angry) - Sid? Kar kya rahe ho?


S - Neendh nahi aa rahi thi.


L (angry) - At least torch ke saath on off on off math karo. Dara diya yaar!


S - Sorry!




Sid apologizes to the others after which they go back to sleep.


Few days later, Parth, in his sleep, was walking towards the bathroom when something touched his leg. Shocked, he opened his eyes and looked at Sid sitting on the parapet.




S - Hi bro!


Parth widened his eyes giving a totally shocked expression!


[Flashback resumes]




A, Vi (shouting in shock) - What!!!


U - Haan! Sid maths sums kar raha tha. Woh bhi aadhi raat ko.


Vi (shock) - Wow! Mujhe toh yakeen hi nahi ho raha hai!


A (funny) - Ah! Tabhi toh! Krissan kehrahi thi. Sid ne maths ka assignment submit kiya. Aur Sir ke toh hawa hi udgayi.


U (funny) - Tumhe Kya laga? Aag Maths period mein sogaya aur Sir kuch bola kaise nahi! Ek haftey se, Jab bhi Sir Sid ko dektey hai, unki zubaan bandh ho jaata hai. To be exact, so is Parth. Poora shocked reaction.


A - Poor Sid! Shreya ke chakkar mein kya ban gaya!


U - Pehley main pareshaan tha. (Funny) Par baad mein laga, iske wastey at least maths mein pass toh hojayega.




All of them nod their head vigorously trying to see the good in this.




Vi - I don't understand! Why now? Jab se woh yahan aayi hai, Sid toh 100% sure tha ki woh Siyali hi hai.


A - Exactly! Shreya always said that she's not Siyali. But Sid was like No. Tum mer Siyali ho. What changed now?


U - Kyun ki ab tak woh buss yeh kehrahi thi ki Main Siyali nahi hoon. Par iss baar usney Sid se kaha - Me or Siyali? Aur Sid shock mein chala gaya.


Vi (angry) - That is so rude! Mere bichare bhai ke saath woh aise kaise kar sakti hai. Look at him. He looks so miserable. And her... Her.... (Calms and asks) How is she?


U - That's the highlight. Sawaal jisse poocha, uska yeh haal samajh aata hai. Par jisney sawaal kiya, uska bhi aisa haal!!




Utkarsh starts narrating an incident involving him and Shreya.




[Flash back resumes]


Shreya is seen walking front and back near on the ground near the corridor. She looked confused and was talking to herself. Utkarsh who sees this from far, walks to the corridor and from inside the building jumps across to the ground and sits on the paparet facing the ground. Shreya notices someone (Utkarsh) sitting near by with a creepy smile on his face and gets startled.




Sh (relieved) - Oh my god! Utkarsh! Tumne mujhe dara Diya!


U - Hai.




Utkarsh waved his hand continuing to have a creepy smile on his face.




Sh - When did you come?


U - Buss abhi. Kya chal raha hai?


Sh (sheepish) - Kuch nahi.


U (teasing) - Ah! Toh tum weighloss ke liye walking kar rahi thi? Ya! Thodi moti toh ban gayi ho!


Sh - Nahi!!!




Shreya looking a little concerned looks at herself trying to figure out why Utkarsh is calling her fat. Utkarsh starts laughing at her behavior and Shreya realising that Utkarsh was teasing her, stated at him.




U (laughing) - Sach batha'o! Sid ke saath jhagda ho gaya?


Sh (reluctant) - Jhagda nahi!


U (surprised) - Nahi?


Sh - You seem surprised!


U - Haan! Kuch aisa hi samjho! Par jhagda nahi hua then why are you restless and Sid sleepless?


Sh - Sleepless?


U - Haan. 2 din se so nahi raha hai.




Shreya steps one foot back and looks around feeling guilty.




U - Hua kya?


Sh - I asked him something! (Pauses) Me or Siyali.




Shreya, with her head still down, looks at Utkarsh just with raised eyes.




U (slowly) - That is a very.. interesting thing.. to ask.


Utkarsh widens his eyes and nods his head slowly as he spoke while thinking.




U - Par mujhe ek baath khatak rahi hai. Sid kyun tension mein hai, woh samajh aaya. Par tum? Tu pareeshaan kyun hai? After all tumne hi toh choices saamne rakhe hain nai.


Sh - Kaise samjaa'on? Jab bhi tum kisiko choice dete ho, there's always that one favourite choice you want them to choose. Maine bohat hi confidently Sid ko toh kehdiya Main ya Siyali. But honestly, main khud nahi jaanti hoon ke main kya chahti hoon.


U (confused) - Matlab?


Sh - Matlab. I don't want Sid to choose me because... Because... My reason to like him is seeing his love for Siyali. And obviously main usse like karti hoon so main nahi chahoongi woh mujhe Siyali ko nahi mujhe chune! Par main itna jaanta hoon ke mujhe "tum hi Siyali ho" jawaab nahi chahiye. (Lamenting like singing) I don't knowwww!!




Shreya walks towards Utkarsh sulking and sits next to him.




Sh (to herself, loud) - Kya bakwass sawaal poochliy tune, Pagal ladki!


Utkarsh burst into laugher which startled Shreya. As she stared at him, Utkarsh couldn't control his laughter.




Sh - Haso! Haso! You seem to be enjoying this!


U (laughing) - Of course! Tujhe aise dekhke bohat hi mazaa aaraha hai. Sach bholun toh main bohat hi pareeshaan tha, par tumhe dekhliyab na, sab kuch hogaya!


Sh - Utkarsh, are you becoming a saddist? Kisiki pareeshani dekhe tumhe mazaa aaraha hai?


U (laughing) - Haan! Mainey apney sapney meinbhi nahi socha ke aisa bhi din aayega jab (Happy) Meri Siyali bhi doosri ladkiyon jaise relationship problems ke liye pareeshaan ho rahi hai.




Shreya cutely scratches the back of the neck and looks at Utkarsh,




Sh - Huh?


U - Pareeshan toh tum humesha se hi thi. Kabhi mujhe lekar. Kabhi Niti ko lekey.. Kabhi in sab ke future ko leke. Aisa lagraha tha ke duniya kila saara boj buss tum hi utarahi thi. Par ab, all you got to worry about is boy dramas. Ab lagrahi ho, normal teenager.


Utkarsh turns to Shreya and gives a big smile which she reciprocates.


[Flash back pauses]




Vi - Main kya kehrahi hoon! Almost every problem discussed so far, sab ki ek ki solution hai. Talking it out. Sab kuch sort ho jayega.


A - Ya! Then it's easy. Sab ko ek jagah pe ikata karo and make them talk to each other. (annoyed) and make them all talk to Sid. He needs an intervention!!


U - Acha theek hai. Theek hai. Bichare Sid ko tum chodney nahi waali ho na?


A (with a grin) - No ways.


Vi - So what's the plan guys?


A - Yeh kamrey mein bandh waala plan kitna boring hai yaar. Har waqt same plan. Ah. Life is so boring.




Utkarsh was hitting himself on the head with a funny look on his face,




Vi - Isse kya hua?


U (funny) - I'm trying to stop my brain from thinking of crazy ideas. Mere dimaag mein ek bohat hi ajeeb picture hai. Bohat filmy. Aur agar hum woh plan implement karengey toh ek dusrey see chilaney se pehley sab humpe chila'enge.


Vi (funny) - Director sa'ab ke dimaag me kya khichdi pakrahi hai?




Angela suddenly felt the urge to interrupt.




A (serious) - Ah! Let's not bring Shreya into this.


U - Kyun? Shreya nahi Siyali. Siyali bhi humari group ka hissa hai.


A (serious) - I know! Par... Nahi. Just trust me on this.




Angela looked seriously at Utkarsh who didn't know why Angela was being this way about Shreya.
