SADDA HAQ l Season 3

31. Bonfire.

"Vidushi, did you take your medicines or not?"
SY asked VD as they're preparing to go out.

"I did. Sanyukta."

"Good. Is it really tiring for you? The travel and all the reunion."
SY asked again.

"Not really. As long as I don't have to exhaust myself, I'm actually fine. Also, coming here is making me so happy that I don't even feel like I'm doing something different. It feels like coming back home. It feels like family."

"Wow. That's interesting. And tbh I also don't feel any different. The happiness and excitement of coming back to FITE is really keeping me to the edge. Like I'll just run everywhere whole day and never get tired of it.
It's just like a magic. Or a spell. I just get pulled up towards it. Forgetting everything. "

" Oh her deep thoughts! Sanyu, u sound like a philosopher.
Hmm I guess we all are feeling that way and speaking like this. Cos it's the emotions we're feeling after reconnecting to the place.
Come on. Let's go. We can talk later. If we keep talking, it'll be dawn and we'll still be talking.
Vidushi, take more warm clothes with you out. U might feel suddenly cold. It happened with me when I was in this state. And yes, Sanyu check everything before leaving. "
VD just laughed.

" Aw my poor baby. "
She said. And the girls left the room.
They walked out slowly. Looking at everything, talking about it, remembering the memories related to it. KT kept talking about her pregnancy days.
The girls were all laughs and giggles and teases.
They finally made it to the basketball court. The old basketball court. It was modified though. Like the floor was covered with mat. There was a pavilion for the audience on one side. Other side was open. Girls went and sat on the chairs. There were many students roaming around. The place was not empty and silent. It was lively. Boys came after some time.

"Hi girls..."
SH said.

"Ab aa rahe ho tum log? Hum to kab ke yaha baithe hai."
SY said.

"Aur kya? Hum ladkiyan to yuhi badnaam hai. Humse zyada time to ye boys lete hai."

"Wo kya hai na Vidushi ji, Cape Town Delhi se zyada dur hai na. Isiliye humko zyada time lag gaya baaton ke chakkar me."
Yo said and everyone smiled. They teased PR.

"Ok. Aao baitho jaldi."
SY said and the boys joined the girls.
They started talking casually.

"Yaar in students ko dekh ke apne din yaad aa gaye. Kya din the. Bas masti aur fun."
SH said.

"Ha na. Koi tension nahi kuchh nahi. Pure happiness."
RD said.

"Ye socho humne yaha aa ke kitna acha kiya. Imagine hum me se koi bhi agar ye chance miss karta..."
SY said.

"To kya? Usme uska ghata hota..."
Yo said and everyone laughed.

"Waise ek person ka abhi bhi loss hua hai..."
PR said.

"Kiska?"
KT asked.

"Hai koi jo yahi padha karti thi. Humare group ka part thi. Aur hum me se kisi ke bohot close thi. Kyu Yoyo? Tumhe pata hai kya wo kaha hai ab?"
PR said.

"Oh Parth paaji aap bhi na."
Yo said while getting shy.

"Lo. Ye to sharma raha hai."
Rd said.

"Are bhai Yoyo, tum to sharma gaye. Humne to kuchh bola bhi nahi aur tum sharma rahe ho.
Chalo, ab bata bhi do. Kaha hai wo?"
VD said.
Yo finally calmed down himself and stopped shying.

"Wo ghar pe hi hai. US me. Ghar aur uska job dono achi tarah se sambhal rahin hai. Sab acha chal raha hai humara. Hum bohot khush hai. Mujhe bohot bura lag raha usse jhut bol ke aise FITE ane ke liye. Dhabe ke India ki branch me kuchh problem hui hai kehke aya hu usse. Lekin kya karta? Tum sab ko to pata hi hai hum kin conditions me yaha aye hai. "
