Part4-
Back at the flat, Kumkum is jus about to open the door to Sumit's room when the doorbell rings. She jumps, scared that Sumit is back she rushes to the front door.
Trying her best not to act suspicious, she takes a deep breath and pulls the door open. To her surprise no ones there, apart from a whole load of boxes. Kumkum steps out into the corridor when someone taps her from behind. Kumkum jumps again shrieking a little. She turns to see who's there.
Kumkum: (half screaming) tuuuu
Stood there behind her is a tall girl, with fair skin and long black hair falling gently on her face... she grins naughtily at Kumkum.
Kumkum: darra diya mujhe!
Kumkum looks at her slightly annoyed with her hand on her heart in an attempt to stop it beating so hard.
Anjali: oh come on Kumkum... main tujhse milne aaon aur koi shaiataani na karun... not possible....
She grins at her naughtily. Kumkum finally managing to get her breath back hits Anjali on her arm gently and invites her inside.
Kumkum: chal aa ander ab…Shaitaan kahin ki.
Both pick up Kumkum's belongings and move them into the apartment. Kumkum tells Anjali to make herself comfortable whilst she gets them both a coffee. As Kumkum goes to make the coffee Anjali makes a start on the unpacking.
Back to Sumit.
Sumit heaves his boxes containing his belongings into his car. Exhausted he wipes his forehead. Sumit turns and looks back at the building he just came out from. He mutters to himself.
Sumit: bhool jaa isse, yeh tera ateet hai.
Reassuring himself he gets into his car and without looking back he drives off.
At the apartment, Kumkum and Anjali have been really busy and most of the unpacking is done. Kumkum and Anjali converse about old times as they unpack the final few things. They laugh happily almost forgetting themselves and the time. Suddenly the clock placed neatly upon the warm fireplace chimes.
Anjali glances over at the clock and then quickly gets up. Kumkum looks at her strangely.
Kumkum: arre, tujhe kya hua achanak?
Anjali: zara time toh dekh. 8pm…. 888888pm…
Kumkum looks at the time, and then looks again shocked.
Kumkum: 8pm.. woh bhi itne jaldi?
Anjali: Haan, Haan, Haaannnn. Acha main chalti hoon ab…
Kumkum: arre ruk ruk…
She holds her hand to stop her.
Kumkum: Jaana zaruri hai kya?
Anjali: ofcoz. Dekh kitni dair hogayi hai. Almost sab unpacking hogayi hai. Bas aakri kuch cheezein tu khud kar lehna plz plz plz.
Kumkum: ( A little Disappointed) ok theek hai.
Anjali quickly grabs her jacket and races for the door. She races into the corridor and stops abruptly. She sees a handsome guy walking towards her. Unable to resist she slowly walks down and glances over at him as they walk past each other. She turns the corner but then leans back to see what apartment he goes into. To her surprise…
Anjali: arre, yeh toh Kumkum ki apartment mein jaa raha hai.
She smiles to herself.
Anjali: Acha, toh yeh hain Kumkum ke neye flatmate. Not bad!
She watches Sumit go into the apartment as long as she can.. then she hits her forehead gently wondering why she just did that.
Anjali: oh haan dair ho rahi hai mujhe.
She races off again. On the other hand Sumit steps into the apartment and then steps out again. He looks at the number on the door.
Sumit: Apartment toh... yehi hai.
Shocked he goes back inside and his eyes search for Kumkum. He sees her sitting on the sofa, relaxing and watching TV. He marches over to her.
Sumit: yeh tumne kya kiya hai?
Kumkum: (confused) kya kiya?
Sumit: Kya kiya??? Mera ghar kharab kar daala aur kya
Kumkum: Tumhara ghar? Aur kharab?
Sumit: (angrily) Haan
Kumkum: (angered) bolo toh kaise kharab kiya maine tumhara ghar?
Sumit: wah! Kharab karke tumhe kharabi nazar hi nahi aa rahi hai?
Kumkum: Kuch kharab hoga toh nazar aayega na!!!
Sumit: mere ghar ko pink panther ka ghar bana daala aur ulta mujhse aise baat kar rahi ho?
Kumkum: Yeh mera bhi ghar hai! Aur shayad AAP bhool rahe hai, ghar ka yeh hissa mera hai. Main jo marzi karun… tumhe kyun problem ho rahi hai.
Sumit: urrghh!! Dekho, mujhe tumse behes karne mein koi dilchaspi nahi hai.
Kumkum: toh kar hi kyun rahe ho?
Sumit: uff…
Kumkum: suno mister..
Sumit interupts her.
Sumit: Sumit naam hai mera…
Kumkum: haan haan jo bhi hai, please apni side pe hi raho. Don't interefere in my business.
Sumit: hmph, tumse toh baat karna hi bekaar hai.
Hastily he walks off to his room, annoyed by the pinkness of the apartment. He closes his door with a loud slam. Sumit sits on his bed holding his head.
Sumit: kahan phas gaya mein?
He looks back at the closed door.
Sumit: Iss ladki ko sabak seekha ke hi rahunga.
Outside Kumkum smiles smugly to herself.
Kumkum: bada aaya mister…
She mimicks Sumit messing around.
Kumkum: Sumit.. naam hai mera…hmph!... My foot Sumit!
She laughs to herself. Kumkum has another idea to get on Sumits nerves, with the hope that somehow she will annoy him into giving her the bedroom. She gets to work on her plan.
Sumit, decides to take his belongings out of his car and bring then into the apartment. Unwilling to see the blinding pink lounge he shuts his eyes and opens the door slowly.
To his surprise Kumkum is nowhere to be seen.
Sumit: chalo acha hi hai…
He looks around once more cautiously. Then quickly walks towards the kitchen. He takes an apple from the fruit basket sitting on the worktop.
Kumkum: a-a-ahem…
Sumit startled peeps over the worktop onto the other side and sure enough Kumkum is there kneeling down in front of one of the cupboards sorting the items on the selves out. She looks at him pleased she caught him red handed.
Kumkum: yeh aap kya kar rahe hai?
She tries to stop herself laughing on seeing Sumit's hopeless face.
Sumit: M-m-main toh… kuch bhi nahi?
Kumkum: (intimidatingly) kuch toh kar rahe the aap?
Sumit: (quietly) nahi toh
Sumit hurriedly tries walking off. Kumkum quickly gets up and walks around to his side and stands in front of him.
Sumit: (thinks to him) kyun kiya? kyun kiya? kyun kiya?
Trying to remain calm. He hides the apple in his hand behind his back.
Sumit: dekho mera raasta chodo.
Kumkum: aur apne jo mujhse churiya hai aap mujhe waapis karein.
Sumit: churiya???
Kumkum: haan… chor hai aap
Sumit: kya?? Nahi main chor nahi hoon…
Kumkum: hain
Sumit: No
Kumkum: Yes
Sumit nervously looks at kumkum. Kumkum stands there with her hands on her hips.
Kumkum: aap dehte hai ki nahi?
Sumit: Jab maine kuch liya hi nahi toh kya waapis doon?
Kumkum grabs Sumits hands from behind his back. Sumit is surprised as it was totally unexpected. He feels the warmth of Kumkum's hand on his and goes red with embarrassment as she caught him out. Kumkum herself not believing she just did that loosens her grip quickly. Trying to behave as normal she continues her torment.
Kumkum: Kuch nahi churiya toh aapke haath mein yeh saib kyun hai?
Sumit: haan saib liya toh kya ghalat kiya?
Kumkum: yeh mera saib hai…
Sumit: naam likha hai kya aapka ispe?
Kumkum: ji haan… likha toh hua hai.
Sumit looks at the apple and notices a little sticker on it… he reads out what it says.
Sumit: Kumkum.
He slowly looks up at her. Kumkum feels a weird tingle hearing her name from Sumits mouth but, brushes off the feeling. Kumkum reaches out and takes the apple from his hand.
Kumkum: Ji haan… Kumkum.
Kumkum chucks the apple in the air and catches it, walking off impressed with herself. Sumit stands there for a while wondering why he didn't say anything back to her. He smiles to himself embarrassed by what just happened. He glances over at the worktop and looks at the rest of the fruit. They all have Kumkum written on them.
Sumit: pure kitchen pe apna naam likh daala isne toh.
