Precap: The civilian gang takes revenge against the army gang. Shravan says sorry to Sakshi ma’am and arranges extra class for him. He buys something for Suman and wants to gift her.
Malhotra House
Shravan rings the doorbell. He looks at the packet at his hand and remembers that Bunty had warned him about if anybody see it in the house. Someone comes to open the door, Shravan hides the packet behind him. Jhoomri opens the door.
Jhoomri: Bhaiya you are here.
Shravan: Jhoomri di, where is everyone?
Shravan’s father answers from the dining table.
Devraj: We are all here, where were you?
Shravan comes inside, everyone is in the dining table, having dinner.
Devraj: From where are you coming at this time? From the moment your leg has become fine you don’t seem to be seen at the house at all.
Kavita: Stop complaining now, he was trapped in his room for so long. Shravan puttar, come and have food with us.
Shravan thinks of where to hide the packet.
Shravan: Mumma I was actually…..
Devraj: Why are you still standing there like an idiot. Come and sit.
Shravan: Yes papa, I’m coming.
Shravan looks around him to find a proper place, while Avni looks at him suspiciously.
Avni: Bhaiya, what is in your hand?
Shravan immediately throws the packet without noticing where he is throwing it, and shows his hand.
Shravan: Nothing, nothing at all.
He comes and sit in the dining table. Jhoomri serves food before him. He tries to look for the packet from where he is sitting, but he couldn’t able to locate it.
Devraj: Shravan where is your mind while eating? Or have you already ate from outside?
Shravan immediately starts eating.
Shravan: No papa, I’m eating, see.
Shravan’s POV
I’ve to come back later to find the packet, when everyone will be asleep. I just hope till then nobody finds it.
At night
Shravan slowly comes down the stairs, the hall room is dark. While coming down, he hears a noise and sits down on the stairs. After waiting a bit he again stands up slowly and comes down. While passing his parents room he tiptoes, another little noise happens and he freezes in his spot. He takes some time to see if someone is coming or not then hurriedly goes towards the place he had thrown the packet. He searches the place but finds nothing. Suddenly the light of his parents room lights up. He hears voices coming, he looks at his left and right. Then jumps and lands behind sofa to hide. By one hand he holds his leg and by another his mouth. Devraj comes to hall and switch on the light. He looks around. From room Kavita calls him.
Kavita: What happened?
Devraj: Nothing, I thought I heard something.
Kavita comes outside.
Kavita: There is nobody here, you must have misheard.
Devraj looks around.
Devraj: Maybe.
They were about to go back but Kavita stops and looks at the sofa.
Devraj: What happened?
Kavita: One second.
Kavita slowly forwards towards the sofa and Shravan slowly backs up and comes at a side. Kavita goes to the place where Shravan was hiding a few second ago and brings out the gift pack. Shravan gets shocked and slaps on his forehead silently.
Kavita: What is this? Who kept it here?
Devraj comes and takes the packet. Shravan makes a crying face.
Devraj: This…
Kavita snatches the packet and opens it.
Kavita: This was the saree I choiced yesterday. Did you bought it for me to give me surprise?
Without letting Devraj answer Kavita goes to her room with the packet being happy. Devraj stays silent for sometime.
Devraj: Who got this packet? Let it be, Kavita is happy, if she finds out I didn’t bring it she might get angry. It’s better not to speak anything.
Devraj leaves to his room too, he switches off the light. Shravan comes out of the hiding place, he holds his head.
Shravan: Mom took the packet, now what I supposed to do.
He hits the ground in frustration. Devraj calls out from his room.
Devraj: Who is there?
Shravan looks around and hurriedly goes upstairs to his room. Devraj comes out again to check but finds no one. He goes back.
Next day
Shravan is meeting Bunty on the way to school.
Bunty: What are you saying mia? Aunty ji took the packet thinking uncle brought it for her?
Shravan: And mummy doesn’t even wear saree.
Bunty: Now?
Shravan looks at Bunty.
Bunty: Why are you looking at me like that?
Shravan: Bunty my brother, whenever you are in trouble don’t I help you? Help me this time please. I have used all my pocket money on that saree. I don’t have enough to buy another one.
Bunty smiles and suddnely disappears from there. Shravan gets surprised.
Shravan: Fine, when next time you will come to ask for money I’ll take my revenge then.
Shravan starts his bike and goes to school. At school Shravan sits by Sumans side. The whole class time he tries to ask Suman something but keeps hesitiating.
Shravan’s POV
What should I do? Should I ask her again what is she going to wear or not?
After class Suman looks at him.
Suman: I’m noticing from a long time, do you want to say something?
Shravan: No it’s not that important.
Suman: Ok, what about your prom partner, have you found anyone? The prom date is coming close.
Shravan: No but I will find by today.
Suman: You seem very confident.
Shravan: Well Sumo, maybe you haven’t heard but today my friends are going to conduct an audition for the girls to be my partner for prom.
Suman laughs.
Suman: What, Seriously?
Shravan: Actually I wanted to ask you that would you like to be the special judge for that audition? You can help me that way.
Suman: How do you even conduct audition to find prom partner?
Shravan: Please Sumo don’t say no. It’s going to be held after next period. I know you are free that time. Please please please. Listen you are my buddy, you were the one supposed to be my partner. Now if you can’t then you at least have to help me find one. PLEASE say yes.
Suman: Ok fine.
Shravan smiles, seeing him smile like that suman smiles too. Anish looks at them from his desk.
Anish: This Shravan is up to something. I’ve to find out.
After the next period Shravan comes to auditorium with Suman, Shravan’s friends were doing some preparations, they stopped seeing Suman.
Shravan: Guys Sumo is here as a special judge.
Suman smiles a little and waves at them.
Suman: Hi everyone.
Everyone waves at her. Suman looks at Shravan.
Suman: You guys are doing it here?
Shravan: Well currently this place was empty, so we thought why not do it here. Come we are going to sit in the front row since we are the super judge.
Suman: Super judge?!
Shravan: If you want you can call it something else too. If one of us gives a veto then the canidate will be disqualified, and we can do that at any point.
Shravan takes Suman to the seats and sits down, his friends sits down too. One of them goes at the door and starts letting the girls in one by one. Hence starts the long audition. All sorts of girls comes, stylish, beautiful, nerdy, shy. bold, little bit goon type, a little bit stammer, way too long, too much fat, always using phone type, always taking selfies type, gyarus, some are way too junior and the list goes on. Shravan, Suman and others keeps disqualified each of them one by one, Shravan keeps saying sorry to every canidate they are disqualifying by handing them a rose. They are asking every girl to give their introduction, then why she wants to be Shravan’s partner. Then sometimes Shravan is asked to stand by their side to see how the couple looks. Seometimes Suman doesn’t let Shravan go and disqualify them immediately.
Anish and gang comes at the corridor while chatting. Suddenly they stop seeing a long line of girls. They try to see why there is such a long line but the line is way too long for them to find out the starting point from the place they are standing. Devika asks a girl standing close to her.
Devika: Hey why is everyone standing here?
The girl: For audition.
Anish: Audition? But we didn’t heard of any notice of play.
The girl: It’s not for a play, this is for the prom night. Shravan is going to choose his prom partner. I hope he choses me.
Anish and Devika looks shocked. They starts passing the line.
Devika: What in the world is going on? It seems all the girl of the school is here. And not just civilian, there are army too.
Suddenly one boy from Anish’s gang sees his girlfriend in the line.
: What are you doing here?
:I’m here to give the audition.
:But you said you are coming with me at the prom. You can’t do this now, you are my girlfriend.
:Not anymore. If you have a problem I’m breaking up with you.
The line starts moving. Anish’s friend keeps standing in his place, fully shocked. Anish and Devika looks at each other. They couldn’t believe what they are seeing. The gang comes to auditorium door, but some students from Shravan’s gang stops them.
: You guys can’t enter now, a very important business is going on inside.
Anish: Do you know who are you talking to?
One girl from Anish’s gang who is standing in the line calls out to them.
:Guys don’t disturb here.
Anish: See, even she is saying so.
:Anish I was talking to you.
Anish felt insulted and leave from there, Devika and others followed him.
Shravan, Suman and other gets tired. They still couldn’t decide anything. Suman checks the time and stands up.
Suman: Sorry Shravan, I’ve some work, I’ve to go. Anyway we have listed top five girls, it’s your call now.
Suman leaves. Shravan looks at Sahib.
Shravan: Is anyone still left? We have run out of roses, if we keep disqualifying like this then all the girls of the school might beat me up.
Shahib: Shravan, I don’t know about you, but from the girls you have already turned down, whoever from us hadn’t a partner managed to get one. How come you still couldn’t decide yet, you know there isn’t much time left.
Shravan: I know, I’m trying but I just can’t decide from anyone from them.
Ved: But you have to pick.
Shravan: Fine, whoever comes next I’ll go with her. It’s just one prom night anyway, I don’t care anymore.
Kanchan: What ‘s happening here?
Shravan and others look behind to see her. She walks to the first row.
Kanchan: I heard Shravan is distributing rose to all the girl in the school, is that true?
Sahib: No we were actually….
Shravan stops him in the between.
Shravan: Yeah but all the roses are already distributed, except for this one. Here you go for you.
Kanchan smiles and takes it.
Kanchan: Thank you handsome padosi. But you guys should leave from here. Somebody have complained that you have plucked flowers from the school garden. Drill sir is headed this way, all the girls outside have fled already.
Shravan and others get surprised. Shravan looks at them.
Shravan: Did you guys plucked flowers from the garden? I had given you money yesterday.
Ambuj: No, we had went to market to buy them before coming to school today.
Sahib: And the school garden doesn’t even have this many roses.
Kanchan: But the garden is empty right now, there is no roses there. I suggest you guys should run.
They all look at each other, takes their bags and goes towards the door.
Shravan tries to warn them.
Shravan: Not from there.
The door is about to open. Shravan’s friend tries to hide, some of them hides behind the door, a few in between the chairs. Shravan was standing in the first row, he sits down on the ground there. The drill teacher comes inside, Kanchan immediately takes her hand behind.
Drill sir: What are you doing here? Have you seen Shravan Malhotra?
Kanchan: No sir, I came hearing Shravan is distributing flowers but no one was here.
Dril sir: Really, what is in your hand?
Shravan signals his friends from under the chairs. Whoever were hiding behind the doors, they slowly starts leaving one by one. Those who were hiding between chairs, they starts to stand slowly to get out. Seeing Kanchan looking behind, the drill teacher is about to look behind but Kanchan hurriedly brings out the rose.
Kanchan: It’s a rose sir.
The drill teacher looks angrily at Kanchan, the others manage to get out.
Drill sir: Shravan, come out. I can see you from here.
Shravan comes out.
Drill sir: Who gave you the right to pluck flowers from school garden? That’s against the rules.
Shravan: Sir, I didn’t pluck flowers from the garden.
Drill sir: Then what is this? What is everyone holding outside?
Shravan: I bought those sir, from the market, I have bill. My birthday is coming up so I wanted to give everyone roses.
Drill sir: When is your birthday?
Shravan slowly says: After three months.
Drill sir: Where is the bill.
Shravan shows the bill, but it’s a hand written bill on a torn paper.
Drill sir: Are you trying to make me fool?
Shravan: But sir, the flower carts doesn’t give a better bill then this one.
Drill sir: Shut up. Ten rounds of ground before you go home.
Kanchan: But sir Shravan had an injury on his leg, he just returned school.
Drill sir: And right after returning he have again started breaking school rules. Fine, both of you will do five rounds. GO.
Shravan and Kanchan comes out of the auditorium. They sees Anish and his gang standing at a side and smilng at them. Bhopali comes towards Shravan.
Bhopali: They were the one who plucked those flowers.
Shravan: Why didn’t you tell that to drill sir?
Bhopali: When you were not here they even complained about me, I can’t take your side publically now.
Shravan: What are you saying?
Bhopali: They have cleared all the evidence. You can’t say anything now without proof.
Shravan: Do you at least know what they did with the flowers?
Bhopali smiles at Shravan, Shravan smiles too.
Shravan and Kanchan starts running in the grounds. The drill sir is standing in the center, Shravan’s gang is sitting at a side of the ground and looking at them sadly while Anish and his gang is enjoying the view from another side. While runnig in circle around the ground, whenever Shravan passes a girl (almost all of them is holding a rose), they smile and wave at them. Shravan smile at them too.
Kanchan: You seem to have charmed every girl at school today.
Shravan: Kancha yaar I’m sorry, you came to warn me and now you are getting punishment because of me.
Kanchan: It’s ok. I actually had a fight with mummy today, I told her that I’ll get into trouble at school today. I was looking for a good opportunity and this one seemed the best.
Shravan smiles.
Shravan: Kanchan, by any chance are you going with some one at the prom night?
Kanchan: No, we juniors don’t really have any rules like that. Your class made that rule for your batch, cause it’s your last year at school. I heard from Suman that you are going alone, cause Suman had decided to go to Anish.
Shravan: Well I was thinking, the school is same distance from our house, and it won’t look good if I went alone. Maybe we could go together, you know.
Kanchan: OK.
Shravan: Ok? Really?
Kanchan: Hmm. I am supposed to go to market today to buy a dress for the prom night, actually that’s why I had a fight with mummy.
Shravan: Oo, so um… you and Suman are going to buy your dress today.
Kanchan: No, suman have already decided on her dress. I just need to buy mine. Ready?
Shravan: What?
Kanchan signals Shravan in front of them where Anish and his gang is standing. By then both of them had done one round around the ground and while doing so they checked Anish and his gang, where they have hide the flowers. Bhopali had earlier told them about it. Shravan looks at Kanchan and nods. Both of them sprints towards the army gang. Suman was going somewhere with some papers. She stops seeing Shravan and Kanchan running, she gets surprised. Seeing her, Shravan forgets about his enviroment and his focus only stays on Suman’s surprised face. She asks him in signal what he is doing. Anish and gang realises very late that both of them are coming toward them and before they could move, Shravan and Kanchan crashes over them. A few of them falls on the ground. From their bags, rose petals comes out and the air blows them away. Suman gets surprised by this suden rose petal rain. She forwards her hand, Shravan keeps looking at her in awestruck. Shravan’s gang stands up excitedly, Kanchan looks at Anish’s gang with a proud face. Anish’s friends who have fallen on the ground and some who were standing does a give up face, Anish and Devika angrily looks at Shravan, and then scaredly at the drill sir who is coming their way. Shravan smiles at Suman, Suman smiles back who have no idea what’s going on.
Shravan and his friends stands at a side of the ground smiling with proud while Anish and his gand runs around angrily looking at them, the drill sir stands in the middle looking even more angry at Anish’s gang. Shravan looks behind him. Suman and Kanchan was leaving from there. Suman looks back while going, they had an eye lock.
Next: Field trip and Camping at night outside.
