Story start from Manik's face in close. He is staring into the blank. Some movements are seen behind him and in front.We see a lawyer standing behind Manik, speaking

vehemently.More movement comes into view. We still hear no sound. Some other men

in suits are seen, contributing to the tense conversation. Lots of people talking together. Manik is sitting

at the head of the table. There is a middle aged woman sitting across the table to him. Cabir, Manik's

colleague, touches his shoulder. Manik looks at Cabir. Cabir looks cross. Sound fades in loud,

incomprehensible din. Chief in that is the woman's lawyer reading out certain demands from the

company.

Lawyer 1 (continuing) ...on the other hand you should be happy that my client is not insisting on

going to court. Although court jaane mein inka fayda hai. Chaar hearings mein baat saaf ho jayegi ki ye

kya deserve karti hain aur inko is company se kya milna chahiye

The noise attacks the senses. Manik sits amidst the madness for a while, then slowly gets up.

Meanwhile, the noise continues off

Cabir: I don't think we should jump to conclusions.

Lawyer 2 Yahan milne ka matlab yehi hai ki hum Mrs Malhotra ki demands ko consider kar rahe

hain.

Lawyer 1 Humne aapko consider karne ko nahin kaha hai. Aapki authourity nahin hai consider

karne ki.

Cabir: Excuse me... hum jhagda karne ke liye nahin mil rahe hain...

Lawyer Let me tell you that there can be no compromise on the list of demands made by Mrs Malhotra

Manik stands facing the mirror in the wash room. He is looking down. After a moment, he looks

up towards his eyes. He lacks the courage to look at himself. He looks down.

He comes out of the washroom, looks at the conference hall. Cabir is standing at the door of the

conference hall, waiting for him. He indicates to him to hurry back, the others are waiting. Cabir goes

inside. Manik looks at the conference hall. Through the glass, he sees Cabir telling the others that

Manik is coming back now. Manik can see that the situation is waiting to explode on him. He stands there

for a moment. Then instead of going towards the conference hall, Manik turns right into the staircase.

Manik walks into the foyer. The staff and visitors jerk into attention. Some salute, some wish,

somebody runs towards the porch.

Manik's black BMW drives into the porch.

Someone opens the car door for Manik. Manik walks down the steps, does not go to the open

door. He walks around and takes the key from the driver and sits in the car.

The car drives into a club house and parks. Manik gets off.

Many men and women all decked up in fineries notice Manik as he walks in. There is a

reaction of surprise. Manik comes to the lawn and looks straight. A wedding reception platform, bride and

groom and guests and photographers. The bride sees him. He is walking towards her. She gets tense. He

gets into the line of people waiting to meet the couple.

Manik gets up on the platform, walks towards the girl, stands in front of her. She looks at the groom. The groom extends his hand to Manik. They shake hands.

The photographers ask them to pose. Manik poses. Snap, snap, snap.

He looks at the bride one more time, then turns and walks away.

He walks through the corridor, walks into the parking lot and comes to his car. He unlocks the

car, opens the door. He stands in that position, looking at the keys. Music of receding begins. Manik

places the key on top of the car.

[As he turns away from the bride and walks, ambient sound begins to fade out. By the time he places the

key on top of the car, the soundtrack is completely silent.]
