PART 9

s- How about we bring some movie back and watch it and you can hoot and shout and dance all you want?

k-Naah. Theatre mein. Kaunsi film chal rahi hai theatre mein?

Sujal shrugs ...

s-Tumhare paas newspaper hai?

k-Haan hai naa. Wo to pada hai dekho. Main ready hoke aati hoon

Sujal jata hai movies wala page kholta hai

s- Acha suno...

Sujal chlila kar bolta hai so that Kashish can hear him through closed door

k-Kya????

Sujal movies ke naam batane lagta hai...

s- Hangover2 jana hai? Delibelly jana hai?X-men mei jana hai? Yaa ye zindagi naa milegi dobara jaana hai?

k-Haan zindagi naa milegi dobara

s-Theek hai phir jaldi chalo

k-ok ok bass ho gaya

Kashish jaldi se ready hoke aa jaati hai

Hamara Italian hero of course looks hot and dashing as usual... dark blue denim jeans and black shirt...

s-Chalein?

Hamari desi gal bhi kam hot nahi hai

Wo log jate hai.. Sujal ki car mein to the movie theatre.. ticket lete hain andar jate hai..

s- Kuch khaogi?

k-Butter popcorn and pepsi

s-Ye lo ticket.. tum baitho mei aata hoon

Sjal jakar sustenance lata hai...

Aas paas Kashish akeli baithi thi to sab couples baithe the mushy mushy types, bf gf, husband wife. Kashish looks around ajeeb sa feel karti hai, thoda sa jeleous bhi

Itne mei humara handsome hunk aata hai sirf Kashish ke ki liye smile karte hue, aakar baith jata hai

s-Lo tumhari pepsi... you know mei pehle baar yahan India mein movie aja raha hoon theater mein ... pehle kabhi jane ka hua hi nai...

k-ohhh to phir aur mazza ayega

s-Haan chalo dekhte hain..

Mann hi mann he s wondering ki Kashish ki harkatoon par kya unhe theater se bahar nikal denge

k-Tum bhi karna

s-Hmm I think as it's my first visit I'd rather just watch and learn...next time...huh?

k-Shut up darpok

The movie starts as pehla gaana ata hai Kashish gets up from her seat thoda thoda grooving fulll masti mein...she looks adorable that way

Peeche se log chila rahe hain...'idiot sit down.. bahar nikalo iss nautanki ko..' popcorn pad rahe hain...'sit down .. baithao isko koi...'

Aas paas wale Kashish ke saath Sjal par bhi glare kar rahe hain for not controlling her

Sujal chup chapp apni seat meni samakar invisible hone ki koshish kar raha hai

k-Sujal utho naaa

s- No. I am fine

She pulls him

Sujal nahi uthta but she is pulling him

Sujal nahi maan raha

Ticket wala aa jata hai

Ticket guy-Madam ye kya hai movie chal rahi hai; ya to aap chup chap baith jaiye ya bahar jaeye!!

s-Kashish baith jao

k-Tumhe kya hai? Maine ticket li hai tumko naachna hai to tum bhi nacho

She charges at the ticket guy

Ticket guy-To madam aap shanti se chale jaeyi scene mat kijiye warna humein bhi logon ko bahar nikalna aata hai

Sujal bhi khada ho jata hai

s- Just chill man..

He says to ticket man and then to Kashish he says-

s-Mmovie nahi dekhni to chalo... tamasha mat karo

k-Tum aisa keh rahe ho? Tum hi to laaye the mujhe

s-Tumne dance kar liya na.. ab baih ke movie dekho ya chalo.. ladd kyun rahi ho?

Peeche se sab loog gussa kar rahe hain, chila rahe hain, popcorn phek rae hain

Tabhi Hrithik aata hai screen mein

k-Wowww Sujaaal Hrithikkk. He so looks like you...tum bhi hero bann sakte ho. Dekho hai naa

Ticket wala glares at Sujal...

Ticket guy- Humein majboor mat kariye security bulane ke liye

Sujal grab Kashish's hand-

k-Chalo ab.. ho gaya no. 5 poora

He says pulling her toward the exit

She is giggling and hooting on the way

Sujal lekar bahra rnikal jata hai Kashish ko

s- Tum aaj juton se pitwati mujhe

Kashish is giggling

k-Par bohooot mazza aaya, par tum bhi karte to aur mazaa aata

s -He he he..[He mocks her]... sabko lag raha tha ki maine tumhe pila di hai and you have lost it.. kuch bhi hota end mein pittha to main hi. Chalo ab chalte hain yahan se

k-Main kehti aisa kuch bhi nahi hai...my Sujal is a good boy [Dheere se pats his cheek]

s-They will make you take an alcohol level test then...khair chodo ab batao kahan chalna hai? We can go for no.4 there is stlil time for that and finally no. 6 or doyo u wanna bypaas no.4?

k-Pehle kuch khaa lete hain...I am hungry

She pats her belly

s- Batao kya khana hai?

k-Anything? Have you tried Indian food?

He nods.. yahan bai uski Indian khana hi banakar jati hai

k-Arre bai wala nahi acha wala restaurant wala. Mughlai khayein?

Sujal shakes his head.. he doesn't even know what mughlai is.. aur khaya bhi ho to nhai pata

s- Theek hai wahi khate hain.. kahan milega?

k-Tandoori knights

s -ok let's try it...

Jate hai wo dono restaurant and they order authentic mughlai food

k-Yummyyy...[she licks her lips]

Sujal also heartily agrees

s-Haan bohot achha tha

Kashish gives a wide happy grin

k-Dekha meri choice hamesha achi hoti hai. Chalo ab no. 4

Jaate hain dono gadi ki taraf

Sujal starts the car

s- Tumhe pata hai kisi strip joint ke bare mein?

She shakes her ehad

k-Tumhe nahi pata?

He shakes his head

k-Aww kitne sidhe ho

She nuzzles his chin

k-I thought tum log Friday nights wahin jaate ho

He doesn't need strip clubs...chicks readily throw off their clothes for him..except Kashish off course...a little grin comes over his face thinking ki usko bhi bikini tak to le hi aaya

s-Nahi hum to idhar udhar kabhi koi pub kabhi beech etc.. etc. Ruko let me search...

Sujal apne phone mei search karat hai net chala kar

k-Apne kisi friend se pucho naa

s-Mere aise friend nai hain

k-Aise kaise? Saare gay hain kya

s-Aise nahi hain jo strip clubs mein jayein. Waise gay logo ke liye bhi special strip clubs hote hain Kashish...

k-Arre I am saying tumhare friends ko pata to hoga naa

s-Main dhond raha hoon naa

k-Jaise tum kabhi strip club nahi gaye

s- maine kab kaha ki mai nahi gaya.. but that was when I was very young... in my teens

Sujal ko address mil jata hai finally

s- Chalo address bhi mil gaya, chalte hai

k-ohhh ...teens? But you were under age naa

s-It's not underage in Italy...besides we got some fake ids and entered.. we were all curious

k-Boys [She rolls her eyes] Saare ladke dash hote hain

s-Dash? What do you mean by dash?

He starts driving while arguing side by side

k-Kuch bhi laga lo

s-Nahi nahi.. I am sure you have a lovely adjective..

k-Beep

s- Huh aur ladkiyaan kam hain kya? Wo to mauka nahi milta unhe warna curiosity to unhe bhi utni hi hai

k-ooo please! Aisa kuch nahi hai. All men are...are...are

s- Maybe they are,.. but then so are all women.. they just hide it better and refuse to believe it themselves thoroughly

k-Men are more..and all men are...few women are like that

They reach that place.. bahar gaudy sa electric blinking sign hai

k-emm..Sujal mujhe darr sa lag raha hai...pehle to main excited thi...ab mujhe darr sa lag raha hai

s- Kyun darne ki kya baat hai? tumhe dekhne ke ilaawa kuch nahi karna

She nods

k-Dekhne mein hi darr lag raha hai

PART 10

They reach that place.. bahar gaudy sa electric blinking sign hai

k-emm..Sujal mujhe darr sa lag raha hai...pehle to main excited thi...ab mujhe darr sa lag raha hai

s- Kyun darne ki kya baat hai? tumhe dekhne ke ilaawa kuch nahi karna

She nods

k-Dekhne mein hi darr lag raha hai

s-Chalo chalo it's not a big deal

Sujal Kashishko le chalta hai andar haath pakad kar

Kashish chup chap darr darrke chal leti hai

k-Sujal

s- Hmm?

k-rmm..[She looks at him...as if a turmoil is going inside]..kuch nahi

Sujal Kashish ko bitha deta hai 1 seat par jahan se 1 dancer dikh rai hai she is stripping and doing poll dance aur baith jata hai uske bagal mein. Kuch seconds baad takes out his phone and starts fiddling with something in it, ignoring the strip dance

k-What are you doing?

s-Kuch nahi.. junk mail delete kar raha hoon

Kashish yawns

k-She is so boring. Isse acha main dance karlun

Sujal ka ye bekar attitude ek stripper ko pasand nahi aaya.. wearing a provocative bikini and a very tight transparent shirt she walk up to him

Runs a hand down his cheek

Striper-Hey handsome.. Noting of interest?

Sujal shrugs.. from his teenage only this was always the problem.. wahan girls in Italy fell for his slightly dark and exotic looks.. yahan girls fall for his slightly fairer than average looks...

Striper bends close to him displaying what little was left to display and whispers something in his ears

He shakes his head-

s-No umm.,,thanks

Striper-C'mon..why don't I give you a demo?

Kashish thoda ajeeb sa feel kar rahi hai awkward sa..ajeeb sa..she never felt this way

Striper cradles on Sujal's legs and practically sits on his lap

Kashish has far from amused expression

Sujal has a tight polite smile on his face

s- No I don't want it

Kashish grabs his arm

k-Let's go

Stripper does some grinning action...giving Sujal come hither looks... sexy and provocative

Sujal shakes his head, grabs Kashish's hand and heads for the door

The stripper keeps a hand on his chest to stop him

k-CANT YOU HEAR WHT IS HE SAYING?

Kashish was feeling..guess territorial

s- We are leaving..thank you for the umm offer.. but no thank you

Dono bahr nikal aate hai.. striper is just standing there and shrugging.. she cant understand ki agar pehle se gf hai to yahan aya hi kyun

Bahar aakar he exhales a long sigh of relief

s- Phew... now that's over with...Thank God

Kashish is standing like a statue with a blank face and focus less eyes

s-Tumse zyada to mujhe darna chahiye tha andar jane mei.. meri izaat lut jati to?

Kashish is silent and straight faced

s-Seriously yahan men ka strip joint nahi hai kya, wahin lekar jata.. nahi on the other hand if they were all gay and they thought..OHHH...nahi nahi.. ye hi better tha...

He says getting in the car

Kashish whain khadi hai statue hoke

Sujal gaadi nikaalke Kashish ke saamne khadi karta hai

s-Waise tumhe kya peena hai?

Kashish andar nahi gai wahin khadi hai

Sujal khidki se muh bahar nikal kar horn bajat hai-

s-KASHISH?? Kyaa hua? Ab chalo

She looks dazed...she mumbles

k-Do you think I am a s**t?

s-WHAT?!! What type of question is that? Why are you asking me that?

k-You think right??

She nods

k-Hmm. Offfcourse

He down off the car and stands in front of her

s-I think what? Kya bol rahi ho? Maine kyun sochunga aisa tumhare baare mein?

k-Kyun nahi sochoge..sahi hi to hai...apne boss ke saath soti hai aur kya hai

s-You did that coz you liked him.. I mean agar if it was just for... monetary gain.. you wouldn't have hurt yourself when you guys had a fight... so I thought you really liked him...was I wrong?

k-I don't know

She is dazed

k-Its..its...its...nothing

She shakes her head

s-Kya hua?

She wanted to say , she wanted love..true love

s-c'mon Kashish..we went to a strip bar together, you can tell me...kya baat hai?

k-So? [Her shoulders sink a little] Strip bar jaane se iska kya link?

s- Link to kuch nahi hai.. it's just that we have been embarrassed together.. to aisa kya hua jo tum nahi bata sakti?

Tabhi ek jeeb se kuch rowdy men get down

Sujal Kashish dono car ke bahar paas khade hokar baat kar rae hai.. Sujal Kashish ko car mein ghusane ki koshish kar raha hai

He sees the rowdy crowds-

s-Chalo car mein baithte hain Kashish

He says pulling her to the car and she has to sit

He pushes her toward the car and opens the door for her

She sits

Chup hoke baith gayi

Sujal bhi akar baith jata hai

They wait for the rowdy crowd to get in to Sujal bhi fir wahan se nikal lete hain

Kashish is misty eyed and looking out of window

s-What's the matter? Why are you so worried?

She shakes her head..without looking at him

He pate the top of her head reassuringly-

s-Stop worrying about stupid things...

She keeps looking out

Sujal pats her head for a few more seconds and then takes his hand off her

s-Socho aur batao tumhe kya peekar talli hona hai?

She chuckles and looks at him her eyes were swimming in tears

k-Kya???

s- I said kya peekar talli hone ka plan hai?

k-Kya peekar...I don't' know? Tum batao

s-Matlab ki kya peena ka shauk hai... there is vodka.. rum whiskey...so much to choose from

k-emm..I don't know...sab try karte hain

s- Bata do main jakar dukaan se leaata hoon

k-Dukaan se kyun? Let's go to some disc, lounge, club or bar...like you go

s-Wahan kyun jayege?

k-Kyun nahi jayenge? Tum bhi to jaate ho

s- Disc?wahan jakar nai milegi... itni nahi ki tum drunk ho jao besides one should always get drunk in privacy; poori duniya ke samne hosh khona is stupid

k-Tum bhi to hote ho aur kaunsi puri duniya mujhe hi dekh rahi hai and I wanna try every kind. Uske upar aise ghar pe baithke to main bore ho jaungi wahan to dance vance bhi dekhne ko milega

s- I don't like the idea of getting drunk in a club..aur kisne kaha main disc jakar drink karta hoon? Wahan we just have drinks but no one loses their senses their aur tumhe sab try karna hai to bar chalo, wahan achi proper variety milegi

k-yeah yeah [she rolls her eyes] Mr Sujal is fully sober when he comes back on Friday nights. I am the one who has those hangovers

s- Did I say I was getting inside the disc.. jeez Kashish you waan split hairs? Fine!! On Friday nights, we go to disc and then to some bar.. or we go to no disc at all and go straight to some bar.. or I just buy a bottle ask the driver to drive around and get drunk.. ab khush? atakne ki bhi hadh hai..

PART 11

Sujal doesn't like the idea of being evicted from a second place in one day.. movie hall se to nikal hi diya... night club mei masti dekh kar Kashish aur fudakne laggi aur pange ho gaye to he doesn't think he can handle it...it's just that he likes Kashish and all but he isn't in love with her or anything and if she keeps embarrassing him and keeps getting him into trouble he doesn't think he would want to stick around her...

k-Kya hua? What are you thinking? Where should we go?

s-Bar?

k-Nooo, it's too manly...let's go to a night club...at least there would be other gals

s-Yeah..whatever

Sono pohonchte hain nightclub...it's a dark place full of young crowd and loud music

They walk in and sit on the bar stool

Kashish is grinning away with excitement

k- Let's try every cocktail

Sujal nods

Bulaata hai bar tender ko and samjhata hai ki kya chahiye...wo bhi kaafi mused expression deta hai

s- We'll sip in in order of alcohol

Kashish looks at Sujal

s-Is that ok?

She nods

Bartender bhi laakar 7-8 drinks rakh deta hai unke samne

Kashish again looks at Sujal

Bartender- That's upto 20 % alcohol content

Sujal gestures her to try it

k-oh ok...what are the names?

Bartender bataane lagta hai

k-We will start it together.

She says looking at Sujal

s- No, I am driving so I won't drink

k-We will get a cab!

She pouts

s-One of us should be responsible. Stop pouting. Here taste this

He says handing her a glass

She looks away...pouting more

k-We were supposed to do this together.

s- I don't remember that part mentioned or said before

k- Fine then...you should better go. I can take care of myself

s-Why are you being like that? Hua kya hai?

k-You just go

s-Kashish baat kya hai? Mujhe kyun bhej rhai ho? Maine kiya kya hai? I have arranged everything on that list for you .. ab kya problem hai?

k-Koi problem nahi hai..thank you for everything...kindly leave

Sujal gives her a frustrated look

s-Achanak kya hua hai?

Bartender is also giving them looks and so are few people nearby, logon ko lag raha hai ki Sujal ched raha hai Kashish ko

Sujal is also feeling uncomfortable aise public mein trying to pacify her..

k-Go !

She walks into the ladies room

Sujal sits there watching her go...frowning... pata nhai kya hua hai

He gets up, calls the bartender, pays the bill for the drinks on table

He calls Kashish on her mobile

She picks it up

Uthake chup hai

s- Main bahar car mein hoon. Aana ho to aajana

He says, disconnects and leaves the nightclub

Kashish nahi aati

Sujal wait karta hai 30 minutes par wo nahi aati

Sujal jata hai andar nightclub mein par wahan bhi nahi hai

Sujal jata hai bartender ke paas poochta hai ki Kashish ko dekha kya

Bartender shakes his head

Sujal leaves his mob no. with him ki agar k dikhe and she is in trouble ya jo bhi ho usse call kare

Sujal calls Kashish again

She picks it up

k-Hmm

s-Kahan ho tum?

k-Jao..samajh nahi aata tumhe

s-Fine Ms attitude

Sujal kaat deta hai; thoroughly frustrated and tired. Chala ata hai wo wapas ghar

Wo to jakar so gaya mumbling and grumbling ki dimag kharab hai...ladki hai pata nahi...why I am even bothered... mera bhi thodi dere ke liye kharab ho gaya hoga dimaag uske sath maybe that's why

Sujal so jaata hai

Subah hoti hai

Sujal ka dudh wala bell ring karta hai

Sujal jata hai gate kholta hai

Dudh wala-Saab ye lo dudh

Sujal leta hai dudh

Kashsih tabhi apnae gate ka lock kholke andar ja arahi thi

Sujal glares holes at Kashish's back... phir doodh lekar slams his door DHAM and chala jata hai kitchen mei coffee bannae ke liye

Kashish just glances over her shoulder and goes in

Sjal wondered ki kahan thi raat bhar..but he is still khafa at her brush off from last night...she made him feel like wo hi chipak raha hai Kashish ke.. so abhi is showing his indifference..jo karna hai kare .. bachhi thodi hai

Kashish ne bhi baat nahi ki, aai bhi nahi subah se ek baar

In the afternoon-

Kashish goes to meet her friend in coffee shop

k-Hi Ria. How's life?

Ria-Badhiya, tu kaise hai?

Kashish sighs

k-Thik hoon. Unemployed hoon, dumped hoon; waise thik hoon

Ria-WHAT?????? Kya bol rai hai? Uss budhe ne tujhe dump kia, uski himmat? Tu harassment ka case kar de.. ek bara mei line par aajaega

k-Dump nahi ...use karke chod dia

Ria-Use? What do u mean use??? Yaar it was arrangement with mutual benefits.. tereko achhi pst mili and usse achhi company

k-Chod wo sab...I am over him. Mujhe usse koi matlab nahi hai, nass kaatke akal aa gai mujhe

Ria-Naas kat li tune??? Tu pagal hai??? Bataya kyun nahi pehle???? Nass katne ki kya zarurat thi.. it's not like you loved him or anything

Tere par bhi cheat karta. T**rki hai s**la. Realy Kashish, yeh nasa katna to pagalpann hai. Are you depressed or something?
