Recap : Sharon took RDX sir's permission. Rey was confused about his feelings, so he called up Karan. Karan made him realize his love for Kria. Rey thought of forgetting his past and move on in life. On the other side Kris decided to never dance again for she doesn't have the guts of dancing without her team. Sam was not happy with Kria's plan and so he decided that he should help Kria to move on. Sam makes a plan and so tells his friends that they will not talk to Kria so that she snaps out of all the sadness and continues to live on her life happily with a new bunch of friends at a new place. At first all of them disagree but later on agree for the good of their firend. Their Rey realises that Kria has arrived and so he asks everyone to begin with their plan.

Episode 16 - Plans :
Rey : Common let's hide here and watch her.
MEANWHILE IN KRIA'S CAR :
Driver : Kria baby hum pahunch gaye.
But Kria was there physically and not mentally. She was lost in her thoughts. She heard the driver but ignored him for sometime. She was not able to understand what Sam's words mean. She got him all wrong and din't notice when her eyes started shedding tears. His words bothered her more than she'd let on before, even in her thoughts. Her mouth twisted with chargin. She pulled her legs up on the seat and put her chin on her knees and stared out at the surroundings. She gazed out at the surroundings, trying to see past the faces in her head. Between her and the nnisy world outside, a group of faces stared back at her, to whom she was asking what did this mean. Her eyes continued to question the other faces and an unobstructed view of the crowded world continued to elude her.
Kria to herself : Kya matlab tha Sam ka ? Forget the past and move on. FORGET THE "PAST" ?? PAST ?? But mera past toh woh log hain. Unki memories. Wait a second. Kaheen iska matlab yeh toh nahi ki Sam wants me to forget them a--- !! NO !!!! This can't be possible. He must mean something else. Shut up Jhalli, you're getting him all wrong. But then what other would these words mean. Par woh aisa kyun bolega ?
Thinking this, she started crying harder. The driver again pulled her out of her imagination. With a heavy sigh, she gave up, wiped off her tears, and set her feet back down to the ground of the car. The driver was concerned. He was scared seeing Kria crying. He immediately understood what the reason is but right now he was thinking what could he do. [ P.S.- Guys this is there driver who came to Mumbai with them. He had been under their service before Kria was even born. So he knew her well. He was just like a parent to her. ]
Driver : Kria baby hum pahunch gaye.
But still no reply from Kria. This scared him even more.
Driver : Kria baby, ek kaam karte hain aaj main poora din yaheen rahuga. I'll park the car in the parking lot. Ok ?
Kria just nodded but gained control over herself.
Kria : Arey dada, aap ghar waapas chale jao. Main aapko call kar dungi, toh aap waapas aa jaana.
Dada (from now on I will be refering to him as dada) : Nahi Kria. Ab sochlo, apne dada ki baat nahi maongi ?
Kria (smiling a little) : Acha matlab ab emotional balckmail karoge mujhe dada ?
Dada (smiling widely) : Ab hummari Kriya baby pyaar ki bhasha nahi samajhti toh hum kya kar sakte hain.
At this Kria grinned widely and said "Acha baba, chalo."
____________
Dada started driving inside and moved towards the parking lot.
As soon as they reached the parking area both of them were shocked. Kria checked her watch to confirm the time. It was 8 o'clock. Still a hour to go for the school to start. She got to school quite early, seeming intent to spend some time alone all by herself. She wanted to be one of the first ones to school. But she was shocked. The parking area was already full.
____________
Kria : Arey dada, kal toh 9 baje bhi itni cars nahi thi, jitni aaj 8 baje hain.
Dada : Kria baby, kaheen aapka college ka time toh nahi change ho gaya ?
Kria : Pata nahi dada. Mujhe toh kissi ne bataya nahi.
Dada : Acha aap chinta mat karo. Main aagey chalke dekhta hoon, koi na koi jagar toh khaali hogi.
But Kria felt something odd. There was some other flavour in the wind today. But she ignored it cause her mind was already too full and she din't have any space for one more topic to be thought upon.
The whole gang was hiding behind the gate but they couldn't see anything inside because the windows were tinted dark.
When they moved deeper into the parking lot, Kria could sense a change. She looked around and realised there was a different kind of atmosphere here. And eventually they found an empty space. Buth the location made Kria gasp and the dada stopped on listening Kria gasp. Dada turned, rolled the window down and followed her gaze. Just behind where the car was to be parked a big poster was placed. It talked about dancing with your soul and heart. It was about the country's biggest competition, FOOTLOOSE.
Dada : Kya hua Kria, sab kuch theek toh hai na ?
Kria : Nahi .. woh mera matlab hai ki haan. Woh bas main poster dekhkar ..
Dada : Toh fir hum chalein ?
Kria : Woh, kaheen aur .. Chodo. Haan dada, chalo.
Now since the windows were rolled down, they (the gang) could see Kria's expression. All they saw was complete shock. Only Rey was the one who realised the pain on her face. He smiled that their plan was working but in his heart he was sad to see hi baatcutter sad.
Kria to ( guess guess ... who else, her universe ji) : Universe ji, yeh sab kya hai ? Huh ! Pehle Sam ka kehna sab bhool jao and continue. Matlab dance. Ab yeh itna bada dance ka poster. Chahte kya hain aap ? Huh ! Seedhe-seedhe bolo na ! Yeh signs kyun dikha rahe ho. ( Kria was really angry with her Universe ji and totaly confused. ) Arey Universe ji, please meri help karo na. Please !! ( Pleading now)
Dada : Kria baby, ab aap jao. Main yaheen hoon. College ke baad milte hain.
__________
Kria gets out of her door and gently closes it behind her. Moves to the driver's ddor and peeps inside the window.
Kria : Theek hai dada. But aap abhi bhi dekh lo, jaana hai toh jaa sakte ho.
Dada : Tum mujhe apne saath nahi rehne dena chahti ? Theek hai. (fakes anger and starts the engine) Main jaa raha hoon.
Kria : Arey aisa nahi hai dada. Main toh bas aapke comfort level ke liye bol rahi thi. Chalo ab apna gussa chodo aur chalo yaheen rehna. Mujhe chodke kaheen chale mat jaana.
Dada smiles at that and Kria grins back half-heartedly.
__________
Kria slung the strap over her shoulder, and sucked in a huge breath. I can do this, she lied to herself feebly. She finally exhaled and started moving.
She had barely moved an inch when Sharon and Neha came up to her.
Sharon : Hey Kria, you look mesmerizing today.
Kria was wearing a scoop neck belted dress.
This is the picture :
Neha : Yes. Sharon is completely true saying. You looking beautiful Kria.
Kria : Aw, thanks a lot guys.
She gave them a big smile and pulled them up into a big group hug.
They hugged her back but Sharon was too good. She immediately understood that Kria is not happy. Sharon : Anyways, guys chalo chalein.
They move inside the building.
__________
Neha (looking at Sharon) : Waise bhi Neha very happy today.
Sharon (smiling) : Hona hi chahiye.
Kria : What are you talking about guys ?
Neha : Neha ka dream coming true today.
Sharon : She means woh humne apni team bana li haina toh isliye humein RDX sir se kich dinoin ki chuti sort-ff mili hai. Like hum college aayeinge but no padhai and no dance. Only masti.
Kria ( a little sad ): Oh, toh tumhaari team ban gayi ? ( Wondering if they found the last girl. )
Sharon (smiling widely that her plan is working) : Yeah ! Mil gayi !
Kria : Oh Oka !
Neha : You not congratulating us ?
Kria ( with a fake smile ): Oh, sorry bhool gayi. Congratulations.
Sharon and Neha : Thank you.
Kria smiles in response. But she couldn't hide the truth from Sharon.
Kria : Anyways guys, I'm not excused. So I gotta go. Bye guys.
__________
Enter the rest of the gang.
Swayam : Hey guys !! Chalo canteen chalein.
Kria : Haan Sharon, Neha. You go I'll catch you in the break.
Rey : Miss. Deh -- (bites his tongue) Kria, tum kahaan jaa rahi ho.
Sharon ( sad-faced ): Woh keh rahi hai ki she'll not come with us because she's not in the team.
Vishakha comes towards Kria and places her arm around her.
Vishakha : Woh Kria ..
Kria : Kya hua ? Why are you so tensed ?
Rinni : She means to say that don't freak out but humne RDX sir ko bol dia hai ki you are the new member of our team.
Girls : Shut up Rinni. Idiot !
Neha (to Sharon - whispering) : Yeh Rinni ki stomach mein nothing atking.
_________
"You..." She gasped. She couldn't think of a bad enough word. She felt like the heat of her anger should physically burn them, but they only seemed more amused. Anger flashed in her eyes. Her lips pressed into a hard line, all signs of humor gone. Her palms tingled. She wanted so badly to hit something. She clasped her hands together, interlocking her fingers, so she couldn't do anything rash. She lost control. She got mad.
Kria : What ? How could you guys ? I mean tumne mujhse poocha bhi nahi ! How dare you all ? I was not expecting this from you all.
But inside Kria din't know why but she was feeling happy.
Sharon : Kria calm down. We're not saying you to join our team. Actually RDX sir hum par bahut pressure daal rahe the toh jaldi jaldi mein humne tumhaara naam le diya. Please don't mind. Please, forgive us. We'll fix this soon.
Kria : Just leave me alone, Sharon.
Rey din't miss the moisture building up in her eyes.
She turned her back and started to walk away. She kept walking sloshing angrily through the crowd.
Rey : I'll catch up with her.
_________
Saying this Rey also left.
Sharon shake hands with everyone because the first step of her plan was successful. Then she turns towards Swayam and extends her hand without noticing who it was. Swayam also shook the hand back because he was also not seeing there. But as soon as they touched each other's had. The wind started blowing. ( Bg tune : Pehla Nasha ) They understood whose hands they touched. They looked at each other's and were lost in each other's eyes.
________
Nilesh : Chalein guys ?
Vishakha : Yes, dude.
They all move and Swaron also move hand in hand.
Neha : Sharon why you holding Swayam ka hand ?
Vicky: Arey haan !
Nilesh ( smiling evilly ) : What's going on ? Kya chal raha hai ??
They both free their hands from each other's hold. They were feeling embarrassed.
Swayam : Woh kuch nahi. Acha yeh sab chodo aur let's concentrate on out second step of the plan.
Diligently he changed the topic and Sharon gave him a "you-saved-us-today" look. Swayam just smiled back in reply. They all went and sat around the table discussing.
________
MEANWHILE KRIYAANSH :
Kria was running her tears already running down fastly. Rey was running behind her.
"Kria, wait," he called. But she kept on moving.
"Kria please, listen t--"
"Stop!" She interrupted him, wheeling toward him.
Rey looked and was shocked to see Kria crying. He decided to talk to her. But this was not the place. He looked around while Kria, turned and was about to move away when she felt someone pulling her.
________
Rey pulled Kria into the fire exit. He pinned her to the wall and stood in front of her. Rey left her hands. And just stood in front of her casually.
"Are you alright?" Rey asked.
Her chin jerked up a fraction. "Yes, yes," she said.
A small piece of her character fell into place : she was brave. She din't like to show himself.
Rey to himself : She is possibly the most vulnerable creature I'd ever seen, and she didn't want to seem weak.
A chuckle slid through his lips. She shot another glance at him.
________
Kria : What do you want ?
Rey : Kria please, don't lie to me. Please tell me one thing. Say, will you tell me the truth ?
Kria just nodded.
Rey held her chin and made her look up to him.
LOOK LOOK HAWA HAWA (Bg tune : Oh ho ho )
Rey : Kria, you love to dance na ?
Kria : Aapko kaise pata ?
Rey slids his hand down and holds her by her waist against his body.
Rey : Tumse related har baat jaanta hoon main.
Kria blushes.
Rey : Batao na, tum jaanti ho na dance karna ?
Kria : Haan.
She moves from there.
Kria : Dance is my life, dance is my passion.
Rey : Toh fir, why are you not agreeing to dance with us ?
Kria : Because of muffin dammit. You'll not understand.
Saying that she sat down and started crying.
Rey sat beside her and held her hand. Kria looked at him and rested her head on his chest and cried her heart and soul out. Rey wrapped his arms around her to comfort her. They sat like that for unlimited time. They were interrupted by a loud music. Both of them got up and were feeling awkward as to what happened.
Rey : Um, chalein ?
Kria ( smiles ) : Haan.
And they leave together to see where is the noise coming from.
