Part 2:
Present
Vidushi's sobs were never ending now. I can imagine this 😭 I gave him my heart. I have him my freaking heart. What did he say? I needed to rot there. He was going to leave me there for two days. For two whole days? Without any water or food? Am I such an animal that I DESERVE such treatment? His cruelty bothered me a lot. But well.All I have been doing is thinking about my future. I have to make sure that my family are taken care of. Everyone else doesn't have that worry. Sanyukta... she has her mansion, will get married, and live a perfect life. Randhir... his parents are too rich, and he'll be extremely successful in life no matter what he does. Kaustuki... she's carefree, and it's a good thing-she doesn't worry about the bad parts of life. Jiggy... he always goes "Ba" "Ba"..and the best thing is that his parents will be supporting him, not him supporting them. You worded this beautifully! Sahil... his dad isn't well, but they still take care of his bills. Parth... well, he has Vardhansir. He's set. True. All true. Lack of resources and struggle for existence. Vidushi has the weight of the world on her shoulders. I just hope it doesn't give way to self loathing.
What is going on with me? I am crying? Me? I never cry. Someone can die, and I never would care. Why am I crying this much? B.R.O.K.E.N 😡😭 I have a sudden increased dislike for a certain member of the dream team. Heartless. Inhuman B-tard!!
Unfortunately, Vidushi's questions were useless. She tried to make it go unanswered. But her heart knew. Her heart knew that she had given a piece of her that she couldn't get back. Her feelings. Her heart knew that even if she tried to forget it, that emptiness would always be there. Ok, been there. Had my heart broken once. You have put forth the feelings perfectly yaar. I'm remembering my old days and nodding stupidly. I remember being a wreck. But the way you have put it...Her heart knew. Beautiful ( Read it like Jim Carey would!)
It was 1:00 am now. She knew Sanyukta and Kaustuki wouldn't be here until another two hours. She wasn't stupid. Those two forgot that she came here on a scholarship basis. She had to be street smart to get her ways. They forgot to check whether someone was following behind. She's terribly sneaky. But her Chalaki makes her more adorable yaar. She had known where the secret room was. She knew their timings that they kept. She knew the pattern of partners that were working on the Dream Team. She knew it all. Though deep down, she wasn't going to tell Maya so soon. So soon? Or was she ever going to tell her at all. She thought to try to prolong everything as much as she could. The turmoil in her mind. GAH!! She's super confused. Or maybe she's telling herself that she's sure. Poor VIDS!!
But right now, she couldn't be bothered about anything. She felt like a dead corpse.Loving the emphasis here. She felt like she was lifeless. Yet. She was free. She was free to let out her feelings. Those feelings that she had, with so much difficulty, tried to bury underneath. It was a burden on her.The kind of will power needed for this😕 Everything that she had done had gone into waste. It was so hard to try to train herself to not give a damn about others. This as well She had to push herself to hear all those derogatory comments which were said to her face and make sure she can never ever cry. Poor Vids. Not in front of them. Not by herself. It was extremely hard. Though, she made sure not to let her heart get in between. But this incident. This one incident poured everything down the drain. She had given her heart though, and that was the difference. Vidushi kept on crying. She sobbed endlessly. While I'm glad she can't bottle it up anymore, I'm sad about how hard she tried.
After the two hours, Vidushi was lifeless. She felt suffocated in her room, so she decided to go outside. Yes. Fresh air helps!!! She walked toward the bench that was in between the girls' and boys' hostel. She remembered Vardhansir's words. Of how he felt that she still had morals. Of how he knew she covered up the real culprit. Did he know that she has hidden everything from Maya mam? Probably. Vardhansir knows everything anyways. Yes, yes he does.
Vidushi looked up at the stars. She pondered upon everything that had happened during the day. Ah...Vids doing a bit of introspection. A much needed thing. Love you for writing this.And she felt different. She felt like this was a chance for a turn point in her life. In no way shape or form will she tolerate this torture, and she decided she didn't need them in her life. She needed to focus on herself, her career, and her family. She didn't have to get involved in everyone's business. !She would let them do their stuff while she continues her own- as if they don't exist.Yes. DETACHMENT In that way, she wouldn't be hurt by this fake world. Awww...she needs a hug, hot chocolate and a fluffy blanket. And nope. Parth will not touch her. A tear escaped her eye again. Maybe she needed to talk to Vardhansir? No. He wouldn't understand me. He will not spoon feed me. He will get irritated instead. Or he might not. Should I at least go and talk to him? No. I don't think so. But I think he might care. Of course he cares. If he didn't, he wouldn't have tried talking some sense into me. But he never sits down with me. I am not a good person anyways. Here comes the self loathing. No. No. No... I say lets give her a group hug and a psychologist. Problem solved. She could read self help books and get over B-tard. Poor Vids. She can't value herself. Vd has to help her!!!
While this whole turmoil was happening in Vidushi's head, someone came to sit by her. However, amid her predicament, she failed to notice that it was Vardhansir himself. YESSS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!Fangirling.!!!
He cleared his throat and spoke, "Vidushi?"
No answer.
"Vidushiii?"
She heard her name and jolted facing towards him. "Yes sir. Sorry sir, I was thinking of something." Her voice was cracking. What is he doing here? And he's sitting by me? She went ahead and continued, "Vardhansir, aap...yahan? Did you need anything?" Poor girl. She needs help yet asking if he needs help.
"Yes. I am here. I wanted to talk to you. I am here because I make rounds around the college at night. I saw you, and remembered that I needed to ask you a few questions." Vardhansir looked straight through her. Vidushi looked down at the ground. I will start crying again if he brings up anything about what happened earlier through the day. What can I do? Thank fast! Oh dear. Oh dear. Don't hold your tears in. IT never helps!!
"Oh sir. If you needed something, you could have talked to me in the morning?" Vidushi spoke with her eyes not meeting Vardhansir's.
"Why did you not expose him? What have you made of yourself? You know... you can talk to me? I know you aren't apart of the dream time, but you still were and are my student. Look Vidushi, I never ever talk to my kids this way. But you... you are a slight exception. You don't talk to anyone- no mentors, no peers, no parents, no teachers. You have to sort out your problems. And you can share it with me." VD!!!!!! I love you for this. She needed someone to talk to yaar!!!
Vidushi was blank with surprise. What? Vardhansir is so supportive, but that's only because he doesn't know what I have done. "Vardhansir. You are only saying this because you don't know what I have done. I don't deserve anyone. Sir, I don't know what you mean about exposing anyone. I told May-a Mam and you that I didn't see it. Besides, it might be a prank." She looked down avoiding his gaze again. Trying to protect B-tard again. Gah! But I'm sure if she tells and he finds out she told he will hurt her more. B-tard, sudhar jao!!!
Vardhansir shook his head, "Vidushi, I know who it was. I spoke to the team a few minutes ago. They claimed to not know anything, but I saw Parth's face. I know it's him. Why did you keep quiet?" Ah! As always, VD knows. may I inquire why he has not rearranged a certain B-tards pretty face?😆
"Sir. I ... I am not sure. Right now, my mind doesn't have an answer to that. However Sir, please don't take any action against him. This incident has taught me some more lessons. Besides, it's not him that should be punished. It's me. Ok, she needs punishment but P..Btard was too harsh. And he had no right nor authority to punish her. She is not his property or something. F-ing B-tard thinks her has some kind of right to hurt her.Inhumane creature. i know I'm ranting. But. What he did was too much. He tied her up. Sir. I need to confess. Everything." Yes. Tell all. So that no one can blackmail you. Especially not B-tard. And if he tries...you have a knee and he has his...basketball parts!!!
"I will not do anything. Remember one thing though, if anything like this happens in the future, you will not hide that. You will not keep it quiet. And go ahead with your confession, I am listening." Vd encouraging Vids is a must! Was craving this!!!!!!!
Vidushi closed her eyes and mustered enough strength to tell Vardhansir everything. Every single thing. She spoke about the first Dream Team task, switching of sides to be with Kabir, making Parth go to jail, putting Sanyukta in a trap in the water tank, Techfest, and her condition with Maya. Each time she told him another layer about her sins, she began crying harder. She told him what Parth did. She told him that she liked Parth. She told him that she has no choice to expose the Dream Team soon, as Maya Mam will suspend her. She told him how she felt trapped. She told him how she is always misunderstood. She told him how she felt that she was at a disadvantage. She told him that she feels lonely. She told him everything, every single thorn that was pricking her. Once she let all the thorns out, her heart felt like an open wound that wouldn't stop bleeding. Poor Vids. Poor Baby. She needs a hug!!!!!!!!
She looked up at Vardhansir. Just for a second, she saw an evident expression of pain, which turned into anger. Oh god. I am going to be suspended. But it's better off that I confess before I did. Just get ready for it. Her fear that was set on her face turned into confusion when Vardhansir smirked and said, "Interesting. Very interesting." Classic VD dialogue. *giggle*
What is happening? He's supposed to yell at me. What? "Sir. What? I didn't understand." Vidushi wiped her eyes.
"I am proud of you Vidushi. Let me tell you something. I know everything." Vardhan gave her a warm grin. Yaay! Some one is being nice to Vids. Now can VD kick the shit out of B-tard and make it better????????Plz??
Confused as ever, Vidushi's mind raced with a myriad amount of questions.
Vardhan continued, "Everything that you told me is what I already knew. I knew about you and Kabir. In fact, I saw you tear up Randhir's and Sanyukta's prototypes. I knew about the Sanyukta-watertank incident. I knew that you had developed some feelings for Parth; otherwise, anyone in their right mind would never let their culprit escape from punishment. But I am glad that you told me this. To be honest, I wasn't expecting your confession nor your feelings. This is good. This shows that you are ready to forget the past and move on." VD ki Jai!! Yes! She needed this!!!
Vardhan's words were a magical panacea for Vidushi. But one question was bothering her... "Vardhansir, if you knew about all of this, why didn't you suspend me right away? Why would you allow me to still stay here when I don't deserve it." Gah...Stop hating on yourself!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Vardhan's smirk grew wider. "But that's just the thing Vidushi. You think you don't deserve it. But I think you do. I was waiting for the way that you will understand your faults and grow into a better person. Even though others don't see deep down to recognize the real person, I always have. Why did I forgive all of this? One day, I knew that you will be better, and you proved me right which makes me adamant on my decision to keep you. The best indicator that lets me know that you are worth keeping is that you kept quiet for the Dream Team all this time. Hopefully, you sort your priorities, and stick with your morals to do things the right way. Goodnight Vidushi." Without listening to Vidushi's response, he got up and started walking away. East or West...VD is da best!!!!!!!!!!
Vidushi who was still dazed about the conversation she just had with her mentor began to wipe her tears.
Just then she saw Vardhan turn around and begin to talk again. "And yes. Just because I said that I am proud of you doesn't mean that you stop working hard. I expect you not to tell a single soul about this. I haven't ever told a student that I am proud of them. But you... You needed it." And with that, he left. I love him. Lol!!!!!!
Vidushi had a slight grin and looked up at the stars- determined. He was proud of me. Of me?! Me. I promise Vardhansir, I will try my best to not let you down. You were with me all this time. I will sort out my issues and act right. I won't let anybody bring me down in any way. 😃 This and the red velvet cake was the perfect combo. I enjoyed this update a lot. Sorry for the Parth bashing. Love ya and update Asap!!!!
Love ya .
Ash.
