2 hours later:
The result was due any moment. Piya-Misha, Kabir-T, Abhay were all waiting anxiously for it. And then they were called on the stage. Piya's heart beat manifold and she was really tensed.
Finally, the result was going to be announced
Judge: Well, first of all Hats off to both the finalists for their extraordinary effort! And now the tough time! There are some points which I wanna say and that is
There was a long silence in the auditorium.
Judge: The team Living Tornado were perfect except one thing! The main leads-
There was shock and disbelief in the audience.
Judge: There wasn't a bit of chemistry between them!
And then there was a chorus voice of shock from the audience
Judge: I am sorry but I didn't see the oomph in your performance today. I must say the other team has done really well and they deserve to be the winners.
The Living Tornado: *a long noisy sigh*
Piya and Abhay drop down their heads in guilt and leave the place separately.
Piya in her room:
Piya sat on the couch dragged near the window looking at the moon with her hands hugging her legs kept over the couch. Kabir peers in and finds her sitting near the window.
Kabir: Hey!
Piya is all lost.
Kabir nears her and shakes her.
Kabir: Piya?
Piya: huh? KB? Oh! Hi!
She stretches and hugs him. Kabir feels the pain in her hug.
Kabir: kya hua?
Piya: I am sorry!
Kabir: for what?
Piya: meri wajah se...*sigh* hum haar gaye!
Kabir: Piya! Tumhari koi galti nahi hai!
Piya: of course hai!
Kabir: main nahi jaanta ki tum saara blame khud pe kyun le rahi ho? Hum haar gaye kyunki shayad humara din hi nahi tha jeetne ka! Abhi un rivals ke din chal rahe hai! Dun worry! Humara din bhi aayega! Aur tab Living Tornado ko bhagwan bhi nahi haraa payenge!
Piya: really?
Kabir: ofcourse Piya! Dekho haarna-jeetna humare bas mein to hai nahi! Humein humesha apna best dena chahiye! Aur wo tum dono ne diya! Bas that's what really matters!
Piya: KB! But I am still sorry! It could have been better!
Kabir: yes it could! But koi baat nahi! We'll be back next year!
Piya: yes!! And we'll rock!
Kabir: of course we will!! Chalo luggage pack kar lo. Kar subah ki hi flight hai!
Piya: *sigh* hmm!
Kabir: aur Misha ke bhi kapde rakh dena!
Piya: yup!π
Kabir is about to leave when he strikes with an idea to brighten up his little sister like Piya. He goes near her lappy; plays her favourite song; and then pulls her for a small dance. Piya all time cries in his hug. Kabir curses Abhay all the time. Finally when she is a bit better he leaves.
Piya packs her luggage only to end up listening to loud voices calling her outside. She comes out wearing her jacket to find Misha running all over joyously "WE WON!!" She nears Piya; shakes her shouting: Piya!! We won!!π₯³
Piya: *confused*ππ
Misha: oh ho! Sun wo jo dusri team hai, they were charged for using drugs. Kind of doping!
Piya: WHAT??
Misha: exactly! So the authorities have declared us winners. Look, Abhay is bringing the trophy!
Piya looks aside and indeed! Abhay is advancing with the trophy. She forgets her tiff with him for a moment and runs towards him and hugs him tightly.
Piya: omg!! We won! Yippee!π€
Abhay gasps in her arms after such a long time. He clutches her and whispers: yes! We won! Piya!
Piya: Congrats Abhay!! We finally did it!! Aur waise bhi we deserved it considering that the other team was fraud!
Abhay: haan jaan!
Piya freezes. She comes back to the reality recalling she and Abhay are...
Piya leaves his arms and moves back turns back trying to stop her tears and leaves to her room. Once while in her room, she drops herself on the bed...tucks her head in the pillow and starts wailing.
All the others are dancing around Abhay but he stands frozen in his state looking straight where Piya went.
Next Morning:
Piya and Misha come down and find Kabir, T and others waiting for them.
Kabir: what yr! itna time kyun lagati ho tum girls!
T pokes him: What do you mean?
Kabir shrinks like a pig: nothing baby!
Meanwhile, Piya steps aside to answer a call.
Piya: Hello?
Chorus: CONGRATULATIONS!!
Piya: Panchi di! Papa! Mom! And??π
Siddharth: haw! You forgot me?
Piya: whoopsπ! I am sorry jijaji!π Thank you!
Arnab: Piya beta, tum logon ki flight kab ki hai?
Piya: just leaving for Airport dad! Aapko board karne se pehle phone kar dungi!
Arnab: hmm! Take care and we are waiting!
Piya: bye pops!
Arnab: bye beta!
Piya: bye di, mom and jijz!
Panchi and Siddharth: Bye!!
She joins the group.
Misha: kiska phone tha?
Piya: ghar se tha!
Misha: pops?
Piya: hmm papa bhi and sab log the!
Kabir is quite irritated uptil now...
Finally he speaks: Ladies! Aapki gossip finish ho gayi ho to can we proceed!
Piya: haan sureπ! Chal mish!π
She is about to sit in the car when she stops and turns back. She looks around and then restlessly asks Kabir: KB?
Kabir: hmm!
Piya: umm! Abhay?
Kabir: wo to subah hi chala gaya!
Piya: WHAT?π
Kabir: kyun usne tumhe nahi bataya kya?
Piya: nahi! Usne sabko bata diya?
Kabir: hmm! Tum Misha se pooch lo...shayad Abhay ne tumhe batane ko kaha hoga aur Mish bhul gayi hogi!
Piya: ya!
Kabir: chalo we are getting late!
Piya and others reached the airport well and in time and then Dehradun even quite early...
They were welcomed warmly by Arnab, Madhu and Panchi.
Precap
Abhay: I want you back...π
