OS: Post Aditya Imlie divorce.
AKT: Aditya, IM: Imlie, ASR: Aryan, ANC: Anu Chaturvedi, M: Malini
Imlie (IM) returns to the office with a new laksh. Aryan (AR) sees her entering.
ASR asks the receptionist to send IM to his office. IM enters after knocking and sees ANC sitting in front of ASR.
ANC had just arrived a few minutes before IM so ASR and ANC did not discuss all the details of the work she wants to offer Bhaskar times.
IM: Yes sir
ASR: Imlie tumhe ek kaam dena hain. Tumhe humare page 3 ke liye ek high-profile shaadi cover karni hain. Uss shaadi ke baare main as a feature writer tumhe in-depth analysis karni hain.
IM: Tikh hain sir. kiski shaadi cover karni hain?
ANC: Meri beti M ki shaadi AKT ke saath
IM is shocked 😲and she starts to tear up a bit 😔but controls herself. ASR is shocked and confused but doesn't show it on his face.
IM: Sorry sir lekin hum ee kaam nahi kar payee hain.
ASR looks at her with upset eyes and doesn't say anything. He looks back at ANC who has a smirky face.
ANC: Aap ke newspaper ke employees ko bohot hi chooth milini hai, kafi battameez hain Mr. Rathore, joh apne boss ko muh par na bol ne ki himaat rakhte hain (saying all this and staring at IM). Iss shaadi ko cover karne mein aap hi ka fayada hain. She places a cheque of Two crore on the table and moves it towards ASR. Soch ke bata dena ke app ko yeh news cover karni hai ya nahi. Warna bohot sare aur news companies hain joh joh yeh shaadi ko cover karne keliye tayar hain.
ASR lifts his eyebrows (like really?) and stares at ANC.
ANC gets up to leave, looks at IM and smirks which is noticed by ASR.
ANC opens the door to leave, just then ASR calls her out. IM looks at ASR.
ASR: Mrs. Chaturvedi.. he picks up the check and walks towards her.
ASR background music plays. Stands about 4 feet away from her.
ASR: Mein Aryan Singh Rathore who. Main jab chahoo tab companies ko collapse karwa sakta hoon aur jab chahoo nayi companies khadi bhi kar sakta hoon. Meri company ke liye kya faidemand hain iske liye nah mujhe aap ki salah chahiye aur nahi app ki yeh chillar (holding the cheque in front of her and letting go).
ANC looks at the cheque as it falls to the ground.
ASR: Now (moves close to ANC) Mrs. Chaturvedi... dhyan se suniye gaa. Pehli baat- Aap ko aur aap ki beti ko dekh kar samjh aa raha hain ki fal pedh se zyada door nahi gira. Dusri baat- Apne ghatiya soch ko le kar agar aap aur aapki beti mere paas phir aayee toh main aapko itna barbad karunga ke iss chillar ki aap ko zyada zaroorat padegi (IM looking at ASR and ANC interaction and feeling happy).
ANC looking at him angrily.
ANC: Aur?
ASR: Teesri baat udhar rahi 😎
ANC: How dare you? Tumhari himmat kaise hui mujhse aise baat karne ki?
ASR looks at her with an indifferent expression.
ASR: Kyun agar aap is office ki employee se aise baat kar sakti hain to main kyun nahi?
Rahi baat aap ki beti ki so-called high-profile shaadi ki. Toh jaayiye jis kisi newspaper ke paas jana hain jaayiye. Lekin aap ko kya lagta hain ki koin aap ke hone wale damaad ki shaadi bina koi contraversy se cover kar payega?
Aap ne aaj ki news toh dekhi hogi aur news paper phi padha hoga right? Toh kya aap ko lagta hai ki koyee news channel wale isko uchalkar aap ki beti shaadi kharab nahi karenge?
Aap mere pass mere company ke faide ke liye nahi lekin apne faide ke liye aayee hain. Toh soch samajh kar decide kijiye ga taki aapki beti ko apni shaadi mein koi problems na dekhni pade.
ASR: (Turns away) Now leave!
ANC leaves the office angrily while some of the employees who were heading home stared at her and witnessed the whole scene.
ANC: (outside of the office) Meri beti ke baare mein itna kuch kehne ki himmat kaise hui? Tumko mein dekh loongi Mr. ASR
Inside ASR office.
ASR comes in front of IM and faces her.
ASR: Mr. Tripathi ko toh tum bolke aa gayi ki tum sach mein aage badh na chahti ho toh yeah shaadi cover karne mein kya problem thi?
IM: Jab kisi ko ghav lagat rahe toh usko bharne ke liye waqt lagat hain naa ki usko aur kured te hain taki woh kabhi bhar hi naa paye.
(Silence for a few seconds between the two)
IM: Hum babusaheb se prem karat hain. Aap kaisan humse ee asa rakhe ki kuch hi ghanto mein hum unko itni jaldi bhool de. U sayad humko bhool sakat hain aur M didi ke saath aage badhat sakat hain lekin hum kaisan itni jaldi bhool jayi. Thoda waqt toh lagi hain na.
ASR: Ghav par malham lagane keliye malham tak khud jana padta hain aur usse hume khud lagana bhi padta hain IM. Agar tum ghav ke bharne ka wait karo gi toh yeh kabhi nahi bhare ga.
Maine tumhe iss shaadi ko cover karne ke liye iss liye kaha tha taki tum apne iss ghav par malham laga sako aur apne life aur future mein aage badh sako jaise Mr. Tripathi badh gaye hain. Dekho IM kabhi kabhi dard se ubhar ne keliye uss dard ko ankho mein dekh kar usse bhaga na padta hain.
ASR walks away and sits in his chair while IM stands thinking about what ASR said.
ASR looks at the time (its about 6 pm) and the empty office.
ASR: chalo ghar chalte hain bohot der ho gayee hain.
The two of them leave with IM being all sad. They sit in Mrs. Lambigadi and drive away.
IM starts to reminisce her time with AKT and starts to shed tears which she wipes away quickly.
There was a silence in the car during the drive, which ASR really did not care about but noticed that IM was sad again and wiping tears. He remembered the day on the bridge and decided not to say anything. As they are driving they get stuck in some traffic. ASR notices that there's an accident up ahead and there are some police cars and ambulances way up ahead as well. A police officer is seen walking by.
ASR: Officer yeh traffic kab hatega.
Police officer: bas kuch 10-15 min mein sab clear ho jayega.
ASR: Okay thank you.
Another car pulls up beside theirs and there is a song playing on the radio playing in that car. The song "Tujhe yaad na meri aayi kisise ab kya kehna(from kkhh)" plays.
ASR and IM hear the song. IM gets sad and sheds silent tears which she again wipes away. ASR notices this again.
ASR gets out of the car and stands outside (not too far just close to the passenger side and leans against it). IM sees him leave and starts bawling like a baby. ASR hears her cry and gets sad and angry at the same time.
As the song is playing in the background IM and AKT both are crying for each other.
At T's house, AKT is taking out all of IM's memories from the room and his house. The family starts questioning and tries to stop him but he does not listen to them. He brings all of IM's possessions and pictures outside of the house and lights them on fire.
M sees this and gets happy.
M: Ab IM ki iss ghar mein aur AKT ke dil mein koi jaga nahi hogi. Uske cheezon ke saath saath uske yadon ko bhi aag lage gi.
Back on the road. Traffic starts to clear up. ASR comes back to the driver-side.
ASR: IM
IM quickly wipes her tears. ASR sits in the car, puts his seat belt on, and starts to drive. Again there is silence in the car.
IM: Thank you!
ASR just gives a quick glance to IM.
