PART 9
s- What? What do you want? Cant a man have decent night of sleep? What is it? What happened? Fire earthquake flood?
k-Thik se baat karo mujhse. Chillao mat. Kab se phone kar rahi hoon main
He takes a deep breathhh and gulps the whole glass of water
s-Sorry. You were saying?
k-Apni car patak ke nikal gaye, ab main tension se marr rahi hoon
Kashih bhi zara calm hui
s-Meri car? oh... I came to meet you last night... I left the car there?
Sujal rubs his head trying to remember ki itni peene ke baad kya kya gull khilaye
s- I sometime forget things I did drunk...
He tells Kashish
k-hmmm, are you feeling ok now? I really didn't want to wake you up this way but colony wale aise car dekhenge police volice ka chakkar ho jayega. Kisi ko bhejke car le jao
s- Yah.. yah.. I'll take care of it right now...Why did I leave the car? Wait I was driving drunk? Why didn't you stop me?
k-Yes you were driving drunk. I did stop you several times tum meri sunte kahan ho
s-I must have had a good reason for driving drunk then
He says shrugging off dismissing the matter
k-No reason..you are just adamant...
s- Main abhi kisi ko bhej deta hoon. RAMSINGH!!!!!
rs- Ji saab
s- Meri car hai XXX address par usse kisi ko bhej kar mangwalo..
Then he concentrates on Kashish
s-I am just what?
k- Adamant
He starts talking to Kashish again motioning Ram Sigh to go away
Ram Singh bhi khush ki aaj daant nahi padi. Normally Sujal sirf chilla kar thodi chod dega Ram Sigh par jo wo light on karke parda khol kar gaya hai
s- umhmmm well you are gonna get more of it; you know that don't you? I wanna meet you today in he evening. I don't care if your mom says no
He says to Kashish on the phone
s-Mujhe koi excuse nai sunna tum mujhse milne aogi bas. Decide ho gaya
k-O I thought we are meeting in the afternoon
s- No Kashish main evening ki baat kar raha hoon; tum zyada najaad mat bano
Sujal beech beech mein Ram singh Ram singh chilkar ye kahan hai wo kahan hai pooch raha hai
Kashish chuckles...
k-It seems Ram Singh is your wife
s-Ram singh is my servant who thinks he is my boss
Kashish laughs
Wahin Ram siigh is pointing to the time ki Sujal needs to hurry and ki maa is waiting downstairs to talk to him
Sujal bhaga deta hai Ram Sigh ko ur kamra lock kar leta hai
s- Tum Ram Singh ko chodo abhi; apni maa se baat kar lo jo bhi karna hai. Mujhe aaj bahane nai sunne
Sujal keh kar Kashish ko bye bye kar deta hai
Jaakar tayar hota hai
Gaya neeche to stony cold stares of his mom dad on the breakfast table
Sujal bhi shurgs ki pata nahi ab kya naya naatak hai
He sits down for breakfast and araam se starts buttering his toast
Ma-Where were you last night?
s- I went for a movie then to a bar. Why are you asking?
ma-Why did you go to a bar?
s-Recreation
Ma-Huh? Recreation? or get wasted?
s- So I felt like getting wasted once in year what's the big deal?
Ma- Did you break up with a girl you loved?
s- Dad would you tell mom that you don't need a broken heart to have drink or two
Maa- I don't want my son acting like a drunk fool in public
s- No public at night
Ma-We have a reputation
s-Don't worry it's still intact
Ma-Really? You weren't even able to hold yourself on your feet
Sujal gives a disdainful look and gets up
s- I am late. See you around
Chala jata hai'
Bachha nahi hai ki baith kar daant sune
Agar khada nahi ho pa raha tha to maa bhi nahi thi wahan sahara dene ko wo bhi tamasha hi dekh rahi thi waiting for to fall, to slip up to prove he is screwed
Udhar lunch time hota hai
Kashish madam utarti hain bus se and smiles at Sujal
Sujal bhi dekh kar smiles back automatically crushing out his cigarette as he sees her bus approaching
k-Count?
s-Count what?
k-Cigarette count?
s- Half. I just lit up and then saw your bus coming
k-ohhh good boy, obedient boy
He shrugs.. kal jo wait karte karte phook di uska count nahi hai
s- So did you talk to your mom about today? You asked for her permission?
k-No
He narrows his eyes in annoyance
s- Why not? Why didn't you ask in the morning? We could have left early that way
k-Ghar jaake pooch lungi
s- I told you to ask in morning, didn't i?
k-Yes...but I didn't. I thought shaam ko aaram se puchungi. Waise bhi.
s-Tumaari shaam mein kabhi kuch theek to hota hai nahi
k- I don't think mumma permission degi
s- Theek hai mat dene do.I'll come and ask her myself. Mereko fark nahi padta
k-Nahi nahi. I will talk to her. Mumma ka bhi point of view sahi hai; she doesn't trust men and doesn't like my mingling with them. Par aaj main pakka aungi. Thik hai naa
s - I am holding you to your word agar tum nahi aayi to mujhse bura koi nahi hoga. I swear main tumhare ghar jakar personally tumhari mom se baa kar lunga
She smiles smugly
k-Ttumse bura koi hai?
Sujal grin back
s-Absolutely not!
k-Acha baba, main aungi..I promise...mumma mana bhi karegi tab bhi zidd karke aungi, Khush? Ab main jaun? Janaab?
Sujal nods finally conceding But his eyes fall on something and he holds Kashish wrist leading her somewhere
k-Arre kahan le jaa rahe ho?
He enters a boutique where a beautiful dress was hanging
s-Will it fit you?
He looks at Kashish analyzing, then gives a self satisfied grin
s-It will
He orders the sales guy to pack the dress and hands it over to Kashish
s-Wear this, when you come today
k-Theek hai
She smiles
s-Go your bus is here
Chali gai madam
Sujal bhi chala gaya wapas office
Kashish ne ghar jaake maa se khub minnat kari..'please please please maa...let me go'
Jaise taise khuuub zidd kari
Maa ko manaya par aa gai behen
Ab haal aisa h ki...Kashish ka phone sis ke paas hai as she lost her phone in the journey and behen ne apni sim Kashish ke phone pe lagadi ye kehke ki Kashish ko to phone karta hi nahi
Aur sis ne aake news sunai ki her boyfried Saurabh proposed her aur uski family se milna hai aap sab chalo, it's a special day for me
Kashish apni behen ke special day ke saamne kuch keh nahi paayi aur naa Sujal ko inform kar paayi as uska mobile sister ke paas tha
Aur to aur, Kashish ne wo red dress bistar pe rakhi thi pehnne kelie. Her sis liked it a lot and decided to wear it on her special day
Filhaal, Kashish baithi hai restaurant mein with sis maa and sis's bf's family
Wahan Sujal ubal rah hai
Phone kare to phone out of reach
Apna phone bas phek na diya Sujal ne
Kashish bhi kaise aaye..Kashish ki aur Saurabh ki family mein argument ho gaya bura wala
Udhar mann hi mann tension ho rahi hai ki kya hoga Sujal must be waiting...ye wo
Sujal is walking back and forth like caged animl
Kabhi kisi ne itni insult, itna wait nahi karaya. Samjhti kya hai? Roz ek sorry bolegi and wo maan jayega? Marr nahi raha hia wo bhi bahar saath jaane ko. Aaj nahi aayi to theek hai phir uski shakal bhi nahi dekhni hai
Ab sab argument ke beech mein Kashish ko bhi khoob late ho gaya aane mein
Jab tak sab soye aur phone usse mila tab tak 2 baj chuke the
Kashish ne jaldi se Sujal ko phone milaya
She knows daantega...she knows she is feeling sooo bad, she really wanted to go with him
He picks up the phone
s-i hate zou
k-Sujal
s-i hate zou
k-Sujal, I am sorry...really sorry. I know you are angry...very angry
Sujal hisses on the phone angrily
s-Shhh!!! liezz!!
k-No, no lies. I really wanted to come... really
He bangs the glass down and pick up the bottle
s- liar!
The glass crashes on the floor
k-Sujalll?????? Kya gira? What was that sound?
s-glazz breaking
k-Sujal, please don't drink. Don't drink because of me. I know..it was wrong..I made you wait..I am really sorry...but I never meant to
s-Tch! i haez u...wont do anything for zou
k-Don't do anything for me...I guess that's right. Do for yourself. Don't pain yourself for me. I am not worth it
s-i zont care
He chugs down loads of drink, a steady stream dripping for the side of his mouth wetting his collar a little
k-Kahan ho tum? Aren't you home?
s- i neva wanna zee u again...i hae zou
k-I am sorry, I have hurt you...really sorry. You don't know how bad I feel
s-liezz kazi..kaziz alwazz liezz i hae kazi...i neva zee kazi again
She closes her eyes

k-hmm, go home Sujal please
s-No. I 'll sleep here at XXX ramzing bad
k-No? Why is Ramsingh bad?
Sujal says some rude words and keeps on drinking. Wahi gaaliyaan jo Ram singh ko milti hain jab bhi wo Sujal ko hangovers se jagata hai
k-Please stop drinking Sujal. I told you naa, that you shouldn't drink or smoke
s-no no no no belize kazi no lizen kazi no do thing for kazi no haze kazi
k-You can punish Kazi
s-no!
k-No? Why?
s-no i'll i;'ll no talk to kazi...no more kazi talk...hae zou
Keh kar Sujal phone kaat deta hai, gira deta hai
She is damn worried ki kahan hai Sujal, pagla gaya hai kya, kahan pada hai
She calls again
Uka phone zameen par silen mode wala vibrate kar raha hai
He ignores it, busy drinking
Sujal bottle kharid kar kahin car ke bonnet par baith kar pada hai
Kashish kuch der call karti hai..naa uthata...kuch der sochti hai kya kare kya kare wo...she remembers him saying the place's name...dekhti hai ghar pe sab so rahe hain..
Par Kashish couldn't make up her mind...she tries calling him againn
Jab Sujal ka phone usse apne vibration se irritate karne laga to he stomped on it...cave man man ho gaya hai...technology disabled
Phir Kashish ko laga...the place he described is a cliff..and he is drunk..agar kahin kuch ho gaya to she won't be able to forgive herself..ever
Kashish ne taxi liya...aake pohonchi
Dekhi Sujal ki car
Sujal was lying on the bonnet balancing the bottle on his stomach taking occasional gulps from it
