PART 30

s-Maine kya kaha tumhe sunai nahi dia. Kashish!

Kashish goes chup chap not answering or acknowledging

Sujal bhaagke jaake grabs her

s-Samajh mein aata nahi hai tumhe?

k-Nai aata. Leave me

s-Chup chap kamre mein jao. I'll get the medicine

k- o please don't bother. Ican help myself

She says putting a hand over head.. closing her eyes briefly

s-Kashish! Inside now!

k- Shh chillaa kyun rahe ho? Huh? Jaadu ho jaega chillaane se?

s-Kyunki tum sunn nahi rahi ho. Get inside. Take rest. I'll get the medicine

k-Kyun jaun anadar.. kya hai aisa bahar ki main nhai dekh sakti?

s-Tumhe kuch samajh mein to aata nahi...you don't even understand simple sentences

Kashish looks at him.

k-Muijhe hndi aur englisj aati hai Italian nahi

s-I didn't speak in Italian

k--yah right... aur main tumhe itna bother nahi karna chahti. Mujhe wasie bhi aur samaan lana tha, so don't bother...

s-Fine...come with me

Kashish is speechless for a moment

k- Tum kyun takleef kar rahe ho...waise bhi tumhe meri baatien pasand nah hain

s-Why do you like playing mind games..huh?

k- Kya?!!

Bechari Kashish ki bass ki nahi mind game khelna...

Dono hathon se sarr pakad leti hai

k-Theek hai fine.. saath chalna hai chalo... mujhe nahi pata ki tum kya chahte ho.. I give up trying to make sense

s-Hold my hand

Kashish pakad leti hai haath

Sujal guides her to the medical shop

s-Kya lena hai lo

Kashish kehti 1-2 dawai ke naam.. 2-3 mouth fresheners.. 1 toothbrush..

Shop wala change mein condoms pakda deta hai

Sujal can't help a smile seeing the condoms

s-Give her candies

Shop keeper looks ki kya???candy kaun mangta hai...and Kashish was really not caring

k- Nahi nahi its fine

Sab ek sweep mein bag ke andar

k- Let's go

Sujal ka haath pakad kar tugs him towards hotel

Sjal lights a cigarette on the way. Everything was so vague and undefined. He needed some ease

Kashsih gives him a silent murderous look

He looks at her

s-What?

She just shakes her head choking back her coughs and coming head ache due to irritation of fumes...deewar dhoond rahi hai sarr phodkar permanent illaaj karne ke liye

2 minute baad she starts coughing helplessly

Samjh nahi aa raha ki sir pakde ya muh par haath lagaye

He throws the cigarette away

Kashish ki khasi bhi jati jati..jati hai...

Shee looks a bit pale too

s-You should have said

Kashish kuch nahi kehti.. decide kiya hai ki bakwas nhai karegi as long ass possible

He looks at her

s-Kya hua? Time pass hai naa. oh time pass ho raha hai naa ye

Kashish chup hai

s-TUMSE BAAT KAR RAHA HOON MAIN

Kashish ruk jati hai , eyes crunched shut

k- Kya sunna chahte ho bata do.. kya karun aini bata do.. koi game nahi.. koi ladai nahi.. jo chahiye wo saaf saaf bolo.. main de saki to de dungi warna mana kar dungi...

Sujal is heaving

k- Say it

In a second she is in his arms

Kashish bhi ro deti hai saari tension sari frustration sara headache coming out through her tears

She is muttering

k- Kya karoon main..kya karoon...kya karoon main...nahi ladna mujhe... bolo kya karoon

She is sobbing in his chest

He lifts her in his arm and carries her quietly

She is sniffing crying all the way

Jo waterworks on hue off ho se nahi rahe despite her best efforts

He takes her to his room

s-Ab waterfall start mat karo. I don't know what to do , when girls do thta'

She nods-

k- Sorry.. I am.. I'll stop...don't worry...

Ponchti hai asoon.. chup hone ki kafi koshish karti hai.. par chuup ho si nahi pa rahi

s-Kash, no. I didn't mean that. Damn! I just can't make you understand. I don't like when you cry

Kashish nods

k-T-trying

He sits near her

Kashish apn face apne palms mein chupa kar baithi hai

He removes her hands

Pins her to his chest

s-Shhh. Hushh Shhh Kash

15 min baad Kashish chup hoti hai

k-I am fine now..

Sshe says to his chest

s-Have the medicine

Usko deta hai paani aur medicine

Kashish le leti hai

k- I don't why I.. I didn't mean to cry...

He holds her face and slowly kisses her forehead

She closes her eyes..

k-Don't act so nice to me..

s-Well..Ii am a nice ma..why shouldn't I act nice to you

Kashish nods in agreement

k-You are a nice a man..

s-Yup...so that's why I should act nice to you too

She shakes her head

s-No? why?

k-Coz...tum .. tumhare jaisa aur koi hai nahi na...I'll get used to you to mera kya hoga?

PART 31

k-You are a nice a man..

s-Yup...so that's why I should act nice to you too

She shakes her head

s-No? why?

k-Coz...tum .. tumhare jaisa aur koi hai nahi na...I'll get used to you to mera kya hoga?

s-Kya hona hai..matlab?

k-Matlab kuch nahi... dimag phir raha hai idhar se udhar.. I dunno what I am saying..I think I should go sleep

Kashish kehti hai getting up

s-Kash

k-Hmm?

He hugs her

s-Don't worry

She hugs him back...

s-Everything would be alright. Just fine

She shakes her head... but says

k- Of course it will be.. tumhare sath sab acha hi hona chahiye

s-I am talking about you, rather us...hum dono ke saath acha hona chahie

k-Is there a us?...eh... main jaati hoon

s-You know..I never befriended an Indian girl ever. You are the first and I really like you

k- Coz you never came to India before. I like you too Sujal...my first Italian friend, God promise

s-I am an Indian-Italian

k-Same thing, Same thing

s-I didn't befriend any Indian gals in Italy

k-All Indian girls in Italy are half Italian Sujal.. I am the fist whole Indian piece you met...

s-Yeah whatever, but I like you better than any Indian gal

k- Well thanks .. I like you better than all Indian guys too..

He smiles

s-I am honored, Madame

k-Oh the ...honor is all mine?

s-How about coming to Italy then?

k- Huh? Italy? Serious?

s-Yup, serious. I have to go to home..for some small work then will go to India. Why don't you come long

k-Well I.. I would really like to but... are you sure..? Jhel loge mujhe itne lambe time ke liye?

s-Any doubts? It's a pleasure

Kashish laughs...

k.- Slick Italiano

s-I want you with me...islie to le jaa raha hoon

k-Kitne din ka kaam hai?

s-Dunno, wo wahan jaake pata lagega. I guess my younger bro's girlfriend is pregnant or something too or they are getting married..something like that

k-Guess!! You are guessing?!! Sujal tum mazak kar rahe ho??

s-Why would I joke?

k-Tumhe pata nahi hai ki tumhara bhai kya kar raha hai? Real bhai? Aisi kya ladai hai usse?

s-Ladai? Why would we fight?

k-So why don't you talk?

s-I talk

k-To tumphe pata kyun nahi hai? Guess kyun kar rahe ho? Or this is some Italian thing?

s-It's his personal thing. I guess he had a fling or something with this gal. He is dumb as he is slept with her or something. She is pregnant I guess. So guess they will marry

Kashish's jaw drops

k-What?

Phir Kashish muhh band kar leti hai

k- Kuch nahi

s-Say it

k-Tumahra bhai bhi ek item piece hai.

s-He is dumb. Can't he use condom

k-Half Italian item piece, josh mein hosh kho diye..

s-Hmm hota hai, tumhe kya pata

k-...bass pata hai...

s-What do you know?

k-Tumhe step by step description sunna hai?

s-Yesss sunao

k-Sorry maine dawai li hai sona hai.. kabhi aur sunaugi...

She says saccharine sweet

s-I think Kash...you should get married now

Kashish freezes for a second hearing him

k-oh ohhh OHH! Achha! Kyun?

s-Tumhari family ko tumhari shaadi ki chinta nhi hai kya?

k-Unko...unko meri ab kisi cheez ki chinta nahi hai..kyunki maine unki bezzati kari hai aur unhone mujhe ghar se nikaal diya hai.. ab main kuch bhi karun naa karun.. unhe chinta nahi hai..

s-Kaisi beizati?

k-I left home to work, akele rahi anjaan sheher mein, bade sher mein...jeans pehni, skirt pehni..bohot badnami hui...mere profession par bhi question uthe...phir mera affair bhi hua.. sab ne jo kuch shaq kiye.. sab sach ho gaya...ghar se pehle hi nikal diya.. ab gaon mein bhi shayad hi ghusne de..ab kisi ko tension tabhi hogi mere liye agar main gaon ke kisi ladke se shaadi karne baithi..

Kashish laughs ironically

s-Khair...main hoon naa...I'll search a suitable match for you

She look at Sujal...unreadable expression ke saath

k- Tum dhundoge?

s-Yuppp

k-Mat dhundo, aise he khush hoon main..shaadi karke aisa kya mil jayega... jo shaadi ke bina nahi milega

s-Husband

k-Huh.. name tag se kya hota hai?

s-Well gals like love care baby and nametag etc

k-Love-care marriage guarantee nahi deti.. I don't care for tags and baby can happen without marriage

s-Tell me what kind of man do you like

k- I like you...ab?

Kashish looks at Sujal

Sujal looks at her

She shrugs.

k.-Kaha tha, mat bigaado mujhe

s-Well..is that a proposal from the lovely lady

k-No... just answer to your question.. maine kaha naa.. shaadi nahi karni hai just for sake of it..

s-To shaadi karni hi nahi hai?

k- Jab koi milega tab hi.. zabardasti tag ke liye nahi..

s-How about a live in?

k-Live in.. I dunno.. kya pata fir koi use karke chod de... so my answer would be no...except in case I n could really trust the guy.. to maybe haan...

s-With me?

Kahsish looks at Sujal upar se neeche.. scan...

k-Aur live in ke 5 saal bad kya?

s-Kya pata, you say

k- Well.. is that a sort of maybe proposal from the handsome rake?

s-Yes, may be

Kashish smiles...

k- Sahi timing hai tumhari...mera dimag waise band.. tum adhi bottle ghatak chuke ho...dono ke hosh aadhe ude hue hain...but you know; if its you ... then yes... but I don't want to lose our friendship if I say yes...I don't want to lose anything if I say yes... very selfish but kya karoon...par phir live in ke baad ek bohot badi problem hai

s-What problem?

k- Meri shaadi kaise hogi phir?

s-You said..you don't believe in marriage, see you are contradicting yourslf

Sujal pasar gaya aaram se

k-Maine aisa nai kaha.. I said I don't believe in marriage jus for namesake...agar do log genuinely ek doosre se bohot pyaar karein to unhe zarur shadi karni chahiye... phir bachche shaadi ke bina ho to jaenge.. lekin its difficult for the child to cope with peer pressure of having a single unmarried parent...

s-Ufff kitna sochti ho tum; this and that , that and this

Kashish smiles...

k-Well...it proves that girls have brain

s-But no sense

Kashish uth jaati hai..

k-I should got to sleep now... maybe someday it'll make sense to you...goodnight Sujal

Kehke jaane lagti hai Kashish

Tabhi wo bevda party enter staggering and stumbling

k- oh tum log bhi aa gaye...

Sujal holds her wrist and pulls her back

k- Kya?

She looks at his hand and then at him

Raj was snogging crystal

k- oh ye to.. oh... umm well.. you never know...

Raj and Crystal fall on bed...while almost making out

k- I have to go

Sujal gets up and gets out of the room, shutting the door behind nd taking Kashish along

k- umm tum kahan jaoge? Mere room aana hai?

Sujal shrugs

s-You go...I'll manage

k-bolo..jaldi chalo warna Ria ghus jaegi

Kashish ke room mein to Zach aur Ria full dum mein love making kar rahe hain floor par gire pade

k- ewww!!!! Ria!!! Tum Zach ke yahan kyun nahi jaati ho!!!!

Kashish chilla rahi hai gate par khadi hokar

Par koi sunn hi nahi raha, they are sooo busy

Kashish gate dham band kar deti hai

Sujal deewar se tek lagake pocket mein haath daalke khada hua hai

s-Homeless?

k- Chalo kahin chalte hain..

Sujal nods in reply

k-Logon ko tameez hi nahi hai.. sochte hi nahi hai ki room mein koi aur bhi hai uska kya.. God !! Bas pii lo aur phir ek hi cheez ghumti hai dimag mein phir hosh kyun rahega.. doosre ke bare mei kyun sochein..

s-Sab log aren't like you, Kash

PART 32

s-Homeless?

k- Chalo kahin chalte hain..

Sujal nods in reply

k-Logon ko tameez hi nahi hai.. sochte hi nahi hai ki room mein koi aur bhi hai uska kya.. God !! Bas pii lo aur phir ek hi cheez ghumti hai dimag mein phir hosh kyun rahega.. doosre ke bare mei kyun sochein..

s-Sab log aren't like you, Kash

k- Of couse nai hia.. main aise kaam nahi karti.. mujhe thodi zyada sharam hai abhi

s-hmm...tum darpok ho

k-Main darpok nahi hoon! Mujhe public mein ye sab karna pasand nahi hai. Hote hain exhibitionist main nhai hoon

s-You have been in Vegas for so many days...you haven't boozed, didn't get wild...didn't even kissed

k- Well I did see people practicality having sex and almost strip show..got dunked by a barrell full of spirits...upar se I had my wild day on my b'day. I know now what I like and what I don't. Tumhe bhi to hall meni uthkar dance pasand nahi.. this is wildness for me Mr Grewal

Sujal has a smile thinking about her bday while walking under the starry night sky

k- To main darpok nahi hoon..

s-To kya ho?

Again his intense eyes on her

k- Tum hi bata do... main to jo bhi bolungi tumhe contradict kana hi hoga

s-Nah! I think you are beautiful, sweet, lovely, hot, sexy, pretty, nice and you are red coz of blushing

She shakes her head to hide behind curtain of her hair

Sujal smile kar deta hai

They reach a children's part while walking

Kashish ko jhoole dikhte hawo in auruchal padti hai

k- oh!!! Chalo jhoola jhulte hain!!

s-hmm..you carry on

Kashish pakad leti hai Sujal ka haath dragging him around

k-Nahi nahi aise kaise!!

Jakar usse swing par baitha deti aur khud side wale jhoole pe baith jaati hai

Bechara odd sa feel kar raha hai...he is big for the little jhula...fit nahi ho raha...khada ho jata hai

k- Nahi nahi baitho lets compete who goes higher

s-No no..its for kids...it will break..

k- Kuch nai hoga baitho!

Kashish baitha deti hai phir Sujal ko phir peeche se jakar dhakka deti hai to get him start swinging

Phir kud jakar jhulne lagti hai..

k-The loser is monkey!!

She shouts joyfully pushing her wing high

s-I am happy to be a monkey

Sujal utar jaata hai...starts pushing her swing

k- Nahi nahi this is no fun...

Kashish bhi ruk jati hai..

k-Chalo kuch aur jhoolenge phir

She grabs hi hand wahan slids hain see saw hai... slide mei wo honge nahi fit, see saw me Kashish upar hi atak jayegi

Wahan ek chota sa labyrinth[bhool bhulaiya] bhi hota hai, jiski walls Sujal ke shoulders tak hi atai hain

k- Chalo chalo isme chalte hain!!

Kashish tip toe par khadi hai wall ke upar se dekh sakti hai

Usmein 2 entrance hai beech mein fountain

k- Tum wahan se joa main yahan se, dekhte hainpehle kaun pohonchta hai beceh mein

She says pushing him inside and bhaag jaati hai doosre entrance ke andar

Suja; to pareshaan sa ho gaya...ki Kashish aisi childish bhi ho sakti hai

Kashish idhar uhdhar bhag bhag kar raasta dhoond dhoond kar pohonch gai 4-5 min mein

Sujal lazily aata hai after a minute

Sujal ko to sab dikh raha tha Kashish bhaag rahi hai coz of his height

Wahan beech mei 1 fountain sa hai jiski edge par you can sit to Kashish wahin baithi hai paani mei pair dalke.. copying Sujal

Sujal comes without making a sound...slightly taps her shoulder

k- HUH?!!

Kashish almost falls in water as she jumps in fright... poora shower le leti hai fountai ka 1 sec to

He holds her

k- Oh mujhe dara diya!! Awaaz karke nahi chal sakte?!!

She says keeping a hand over her heart

s-Tumhari tarah thode main Bheem ki tarah chalta hoon. I have grace and poise

She opens her mouth to retort but closes it again sputtering over words

k-Miai- main.. Bheem.. main!! Ohh! You are impossible!

Kashish uthkar dham dham pair patakti hui jati hai lekin wapas ati hai phir doosre raste ghustoo hai wo bhi dead end

Sujal was giggling under his breath

Phir aati hai galat dead end mein ghuskar

s-Turn right

She glares at him

k- Main to Bheemm hoon na.. deewar hi tod dungi ... tumhare direction nahi chahiye

s-Todo todo, phir police pakad ke le jaaye to mujhe mat kehna

Kashish feels like tearing her hair out

s-Waise soch raha tha ek lounge le lete hain

k- Lounge kisliye?

She say turning right

s-Room in a lounge wher will we stay in the night

k-hmm theek hai..lekin its business season lounge khali milega?

s-Some small dandy lounge wld be empty

k-Tum mujhe table mein mat rukwana lounge ke naam par

Kashish says.. idhar udhar rasta dhundhte hue

s-Haan haan aapke lie to honeymoon suite hai, madam

Achanak she disappears

Sujal frowns

s-Kash !!!!!!!!???

He is looking for her

s-Kashhh this isn't funny ! Kashish

Kashish wapas se reappears

k-Uff kya hai? Sandal mein kuch ghus gaya tha nikal rahi thi jhuk kar

s-You are just...nothing

k- Kahan jaungi main iske andar? Raasta to mil nahi raha mujhe

s-Turns left then left then right

Kashish nikal jati hai bahar following his directions

s-Waise the place is nice. Achcha silent saa khopcha hai, koi dhund bhi nahi sakta

He deliberately leads her to some dead end and follosw her there

k-Arre ye kahan pahocha diya!!

She says turning around..

Sujal ki direction follow karke to she has lost all sense of direction..

He sits on the floor

s-Achi jagah naa. It's silent. Lot of privacy, nice atmosphere

k- To yahin basna hai kya?

s-Bass jaate hain..[with a grin]

k-Chalo na.. yahan dead end par kyun le aaye?

s-It's actually..haan what gals say...yup romantic

k- Mazak karwa lo tumse... saara sene of humor phoot phoot kar Vegas mei bahar aa raha hai tumhara. Ye?romantic? Kaisi ladkiyon ke saath rehte ho tum? Andhera kahin jaane ko jagah nahi kya romantic?

s-What can be more romantic than that? You don't know what romance is. I can give you some tuitions

k-Mr Grewal there is difference between seduction and romance.. and I don't want lessons in seduction...

She says trying to peek over the walls standing on her tiptoes

s-O...then gimme lessons in romance

He moves forward and tickles her calve

Kashish jumps.

k- Aah!! Would you stop scaring me like that!! Mujhe laga pata nahi kya janwar hai. Wahan door baitho. mujhe raasta dhondhne do

She says moving away looking for route out

s-Kya karoge raasta dhundke. Jagah achi hai

Kashish looks at Sujal straight in the eyes..

k- Fine! I agree jagah achi hai...mauka bhi acha hai aur lighting effect bhi achha hai bas ek problem hai

He looks at her with questioning eyes

k- Its. not. comfortable.

She say folding her arms

s-Well...come to me..I'll make you comfortable

k-Maan lo ki agar...I come there...and we start something...and then things progress..to...prob 1 kapde gande, prob 2 no protection, prob3 we would be on dirt and mall stone..kuch bhi chub gaya to socho... you'll be in biggg pain...

Kashish keh rahi hai upar jhakt hue

k- and finally... the biggest thing

s-ohhh man...you wre thinkin about sexxx

k-Mujhe rasta mil gay!!

Kashish bhag gai

s-You have a dirty mind...ewww...you can rape me

k-Can't rape the willing a

Awaaz aati hai Kahsish ki kisi diwaar ke peeche se

Kashish to bhaag gai..Sujal naa aaya

She didn't realize..the park looked indeed spooky in the night when alone and lull

Bahar nikal ke she stops at the entrance ki yahin se bahar ayega wahin wait kar rahi hai

k- Sujal!!!! Kahan ho!!

Bahar se chilati hai

Kashish kea as-paas jhingur ki awaaz aa rahi hai

Hawa se jhadiya hil rahi hain

k- S.Sujal!!

Awaaz bhi nai nikal rahi Kashish ki achanak..

k- Chalo bahar aaoo.. w..we are laet.. ch..chalo!!

Swing hawa se apne aap hil rahi hai

Uss bade se tree ka bada sa shade aa raha hai

Owls tree se udd rahe hain

k-SUJAL!! tt.tum nahi aoge to main jaa rahi hoon!!
