Around a dining table, there is a mother, a father, a son & a daughter-in-law but still there is a seat missing. Everyone start taking whatever it is that they want for their breakfast. Before the mother took a bite out of her sliced apple, she noticed the empty seat. She looks at everyone who are busy tiredly eating.
"Dhruv." "Ji Maa.""Prithvi kaha."
"Prithvi..."
He looks over to the empty seat & then looks at his wife, Aaksha.
"Woh Maa.."
"Woh abhi sora hai." interrupts Aaksha.
"Abhi bhi sora hai. Kitna sota hai yeh ladka. Dekhiye mein toh kethi hoon ki iski shaadi karde ni chahiye."
"Abhi bhi sora hai. Kitna sota hai yeh ladka. Dekhiye mein toh kethi hoon ki iski shaadi karde ni chahiye."
Her husband gave her no reaction.
"Arre sun the ho." she says a little louder now.
"Kya hai."
"Kya hai."
"Shaadi." keeping the same tone of her voice.
"Kiski?"
"Prithvi ki."
Dhruv almost spits out the juice that he was drinking & starts coughing. Aaksha drops her fork & her husband, Aniket gets up angrily.
"Pagal toh ni hogi. Iss umar mein phir se shaadi karna chati ho. Aur vo bhi mere hote huye."
"Ufho. Yeh party ne bhi na behra kar ke rak diya."
"Kya? Dulhe ki aarti mein karo. Arre kuch toh sharam karo. Tumare bete ki shaadi ki umar hui hai aur tum ho ki..."
"Papa."
He looks over to Dhruv who is making him sit down. Dhruv whispers into his dad's ear what his mom was trying to say. His face changes expressions when he realizes what it was that she was trying to convey. Prithvi comes down the stairs & goes towards the dining table.

"Good morning everyone."
"Good morning."
He starts filling up his plate while everyone look at him.
"Kya hua. Pehle kabhi dekha ni kya?"
"Kya hua. Pehle kabhi dekha ni kya?"
He takes a bite out of his omelette.
"Nahi dekha toh hai, par... yeh soch ri thi ke shaadi ke baad tum itne late hi utho ge ya phir..."
Aaksha stops talking as Dhruv nudged. She looks at him.
"Shaadi. Aur mein. Bhabhi, aap teek toh hai nai. Mein ni koi shaadi waadi karne wala. Bhaiya ki halat dekh ra hoon mein."
He laughs along with his dad.
"Acha bachu. Abhi toh hasa ra hai, par dekhna jab tumari baari aati hai. Phir ni chodoonga."
"Ufho tum toh atleast chod do. Yeh toh pehle se banda jayenga."
They all smile.
"Yeh topic zaroor Maa ne shuru kiya hoga."
"Meine."
"Aur ni toh kya. Jab se bhaiya ki shaadi hui tab se aap mere peeche par gayi. Meini shaadi karne wala."
"Kyun ni kare ga."
"Kya hai na Maa, ki Prithvi uss ghode ki taara hai jo kabhi bhi kabhoon ni aa sakta. Agar aaga toh woh ek chamat kar hoga."
"Kyun ni kare ga."
"Kya hai na Maa, ki Prithvi uss ghode ki taara hai jo kabhi bhi kabhoon ni aa sakta. Agar aaga toh woh ek chamat kar hoga."
"Bas bhagwan. Aap koi chamat kar dikha di jiye jisse mein aaj interview paas ho jaaon."
She puts her interview file in front the idol of Lord Ganesh & closes her eyes & prays.
"Bhaiya, yeh ladkiyan hai hi aisi. Kissi insaan par hi ni, balke kisse cheez par bhi ni apna kabhoon rak sakti. Dekha ni ki aaj kal robbery ki kitni rate bad gayi."
"Bas aap baat bana di jiye, phir dekhna ki mein kaise baat ko aa gaya bada thi hoon."
"Yeh choro ka naam kyun karab kare hai. Yeh kaho ki aaj tak kissi ladki ne tumhe impress ni kiya."
"Meine toh suna hai ke isse impress koi ni kar sakta. Par aap toh jaante hai na ke aisa koi nahi hai jisse Damini ne impress na kiya ho."
Prithvi & his brother are in the car going towards their office.
"Aur na aiye gi. Yeh sab ladkiyan ek jaise hoti hai. Sirf ek dikhava. Jab kuch karna aata ni phir saara inzaam ham par laga dethi hai. Jab aata hai, phir saara ka saara credit kudh le lethi hai."
Damini is now in a taxi going towards the office where her interview is being taken.
"Saara ka saara credit aap ko jaye ga. Maana ki baat toh mein karoon gi, par ashriwaad toh aap ka laga na. Toh mein usse khaali kaise jaane de sakti hoon."
Prithvi & Dhruv get out of the car.
"Teek hai maan leta hoon tumari baat. Par mein ke ra hoon. Aaj tumari kismat badal ne wali hai."
"Please bhaiya. Jyotish bana baand ki jiye aur kaam kariye."
"Okay."
They close the door. They were both about to enter but Prithvi gets a call.

"Bhaiya, aap chaliye mein abhi aata hoon."
"Okay."
Dhruv leaves Prithvi alone to his call.
Dhruv leaves Prithvi alone to his call.
Damini gets out of the taxi & pays the driver the money she owes him. She looks at the tall building in front of her. It said Saxena Group of Industries in big white letters. She takes a big sigh & closes her eyes & folds her hands.
"Please. Usse pata lo. Please."
She starts walking towards the building. Prithvi was still on the phone & was walking slowly towards the building. They both open the door to the building enter at the same time. They start walking towards the receptionist without looking at each other. When they reach the receptionist they're received by two different people.
"Any meetings?"
"Yes sir. There's one at 10:25 & then another one at 2:00. Also Mr. Sharma called today. Woh ke re the ki kal ki party ke silsilay mein baat karna chaate hai."
"Yes sir. There's one at 10:25 & then another one at 2:00. Also Mr. Sharma called today. Woh ke re the ki kal ki party ke silsilay mein baat karna chaate hai."
"Okay."
"I'm here for an interview."
"Please wait over there."
"Please wait over there."
He points to where other people are sitting waiting for their interview.
"Okay. Thank you."
They both turn again without looking at each other & go towards their own destination.
It's been over an hour & it's Damini's turn next to go in for the interview. She starts getting nervous & starts praying again.
Dhruv enters Prithvi's cabin who was just about to go for the meeting.
"I can't take it anymore."
"Kya hua?"
"Interviews!! I hate them. Barbar wohi sawal poocha ja ra hoon poocha ja ra hoon. Ab aur ni. Ab tu baaki ke interviews le."
"Mein? Bhaiya mein kaise... meri meeting hai."
"Great! Meeting par mein chala jaata hoon, aur yeh sab tumara sar ka jayenga."
He takes the file from Prithvi's hand & leaves.
"Bye!"
"Bhaiy..."
The door shuts.
"Bhaiy..."
The door shuts.
"Yeh bhaiya bhi na. Mein interview kaise le sakta hoon."
He sits down in his chair & calls the receptionist.
He sits down in his chair & calls the receptionist.
"Interview ke liye aur kitne hai."
"Bas yeh last hai sir."
"Bas yeh last hai sir."
"Teek behjo usse."
"Yes sir."
"Yes sir."
They both hang up the phone.
She called Damini's name but she didn't hear her as she was praying. She goes over to her & taps her. Damini opens her eyes.
"Tumara turn hai."
She leaves & Damini gets up & follows her. As she was passing by she heard the receptionist talking.
"Mujhe ni lagta ki isse mile ga. Sir bohot ghusse mein the."
"5 minute ke liye bhi ni teeke gi."
"2 minute."
"Lagi shart."
"Lagi."
They both start laughing making Damini even more nervous. She starts hurrying up towards the cabin.
"Lagi shart."
"Lagi."
They both start laughing making Damini even more nervous. She starts hurrying up towards the cabin.
It's been 15 minutes & Damini still didn't come. Inside the room, Prithvi is getting tired waiting for her.
"Kahan hai yeh. Time barbad hora hai. Agar pehle se hi itni late hogi phir kaam karne ke baad kya hoga."
He hears a knock on the door.
"Ab dekh tha hoon ki usse kaise naukri milti hai. Come in."
Damini takes a big sigh & slowly opens the door.
