[Flash back]

Siyali was on her way to defence class when few late students dashed into the receptionist who was carrying a box full of papers. The students shouting Sorry just ran away without helping the receptionist pick up the papers. Annoyed, the receptionist starts picking up and Siyali offers to helps,


Rec - Shreya! No need for all this. Class ke liye late nahi ho raha hai?

Si - That's okay. Gautam ki hi class hai. He won't mind.

Rec - Then I would love some help.


Siyali smiles and starts picking the papers. As she walked by, she saw her name on one of the paper that was under some other paper. The part she could see was a table which had her name under the topic "CHILD" and then lots of data. She sits down on one knee and takes the paper from under the papers. It was paper folded in three parts. The middle part had data which she couldn't understand. The second column had her name below the heading "CHILD" and the third column has the topic "Alleged Father" under which the name printed was "Prathick Rajput". It seemed like a DNA test report.

Totally in shock and shivering, she pulls the third part of the paper which stated

"Confirm parent. Prathick Rajput and Siyali Rajput are related"

Huh!! Siyali breathed out through her mouth. Her hands were shivering. She was about to open the top one third of the report when the receiptionist pulled it right off her hand and put in inside the box without even seeing it.


Rec - Sorry! Official document. You can't read it. Even I'm not supposed to read it. Just shred.

Siyali gives a faint smile and gathers the rest of the papers. She stands up but couldn't find ground as she was about to collapse. The receptionist held her straight, took the papers from her hand, thanked her and left.

Siyali leaned on the corridor and in front of her came faces of Urmila ma'am, Gautam, Utkarsh and all others who were against their relationship. Was this why they were against it? Because Sid and her were related. Now the Rajput surname seemed to make more sense. And finally she remembered Sid breaking her heart in Semester one and later being miserable after it. Did he know too? And yet he was pursuing her? She was disgusted about the thought. She rushed to the bathroom as her body couldn't take it and vomited thinking if of all the possibilities.

Few minutes later, she got up, flushed the toilet, goggled her mouth and looked at herself on the mirror.

[Flash back ends]


Back in the present, as Sid screamed and shouted for answers, Siyali's hands were still tightened and she looked at him without any word of reply.


S (shouts) - Why aren't you saying anything?

Si (robotic) - Because I have nothing to say to you!

S (stern) - Aakri baar pooch raha hoon Siyali. Agar ab tum jawaab nahi dhogey, I promise you this is the last time you'll see the person who loved you.

Si - Sid?


<Music starts - Zara si Dosti (Happy bhaag jayegi)>

                             Siyali looks directly into Sid's eyes,

Si (emotional, but strong) - Some relationship, like ours, are never meant to be.
