Scene: That Night - Samrat's home
He is sitting on the bed in a contemplative mood, with his guitar, while Benji is hurling accuses at him from a corner.
Benji: oh Mr Guitar! Aapse baat kar raha hu.
Samrat: kya hai Benji? Tabse chillaye ja raha hai.
Benji: (over dramatically) chillane ki bhi takat nahi bachi mujhme. Mera saara dimaag burger ki tarah kha gayi teri wo Gunjanji ki saheli!
Samrat: (laughs) sorry Benji. Tu toh mera yaar hai, itna nahi kar sakta kya mere liye?
Benji: itna itna karke kitna dude? Shukar mana k Benji ab tak zinda bacha hai.
Samrat: acha wo sab chod. Mujhe kal ke bare me sochne de.
Benji: han han soch. Bas mujhe plan se bahar rakhiyo.
Samrat: tujhe Pooja ke saath date pe jaane me der nahi ho rahi? Ya wo bhi bhag gayi?
Benji: oye haan! Chal main jaata hu. Tu yaha baithke Gunjan ke sapne saja. (He leaves, singing a song to himself, all set for his date.)
Samrat: kuch toh sochna hi padega Samrat. After all chashmish ka birthday hai.
Cut to: Next Morning – Gunjan and Nupur
The sisters are getting ready for college and for a change, Nupur is already dressed but Gunjan is still busy choosing the right colour to wear. Nupur is watching her and smiling.
Gunjan: di, aise kyun dekh rahi ho?
Nupur: dekh rahi hu tujhe kabse sajne sawarne ka shauk ho gaya?
Gunjan: (blushing) di aap bhi na.
Nupur: arey main toh aise hi keh rahi thi. Aaj toh tera birthday hai, sajegi kyun nahi? Aur meri behan waise bhi sabse sundar dikhti hai, hai na?
(They hug each other lovingly. After a while, they come down, both ready for college. Uday and Dia join them. They see their chacha at the door, with a huge bouquet of roses of all colours. As their chahca
sees them, he turns around with a big smile.)
Chacha: ek phool ke liye pyare se phool. Aisa hi kehte hai na? (He smiles broadly. Gunjan bends down to touch his feet.) Happy birthday beta. Hamesha aise hi rehna. Bhagwan tumhe bahut khush rakhe.
Gunjan: thank u chachaji. Aur yeh phool bahut pyare hai.
Chacha: hai na? Par sorry, yeh meri taraf se nahi hai.
Gunjan: Ji?
Chacha: haan beta abhi abhi koi deke gaya hai, tumhare liye hai.
Uday: oh wow! Roses! Kisne bheje hai Gunjan? Batao na, batao na.
Gunjan: pata nahi Uday bhaiya, likha nahi hai kuch.
Diya: (irritated with all the attention Gunjan's getting) oh doll, baad me dekh lena. College ke liye late ho raha hai.
Nupur: haan Gunjan, chal chalte hai.
Cut to: Excel College – Mayank
He is walking to the classroom when someone calls him from behind. He turns around to see Sandhya.
Sandhya: hie Mayank!
Mayank: hie. Kuch kaam tha?
Sandhya: tum hamesha yahi kyun puchte ho?
Mayank: (smiles) oh sorry, mujhe laga tumne bulaya isliye..
Sandhya: actually Mayank, mujhe tumse ek favour chahiye tha.
Mayank: kya?
Sandhya: aaj mere kuch friends Mumbai aa rahe hai aur wo kal hi chale jayenge. Main soch rahi thi unke saath Mumbai ghum lu par tum toh jaante ho, mujhe yaha ke routes bhi nahi pata. Toh..toh kya tum mere saath chaloge? It'll be great fun!
Mayank: kya? Main tumhare dosto ke saath kya karunga? Main shakal se tour guide lagta hu kya?
Sandhya: arey, kya main tumhari dost nahi hu?
Mayank: Sandhya dekho, main chahu bhi toh nahi aa sakta.
Sandhya: kyun?
Mayank: aaj sham ko mujhe Nupur ke saath kahi jaana hai. Uski behan ka birthday hai.
Sandhya: (angrily) phir se Nupur. Mayank tum har baat uspe kyun le aate ho? Kya main tumhe pasand nahi?
Mayank: pasand? Tum itna overreact kyun kar rahi ho?
Sandhya: overreact? Whatever. Bas itna batao, main tumhe kyun nahi pasand? Kyunki Nupur mujhse jalti hai?
Mayank: kya? Hosh me toh ho?
Sandhya: of course wo mujhse jalti hai. Kyunki main usse har baat me aage hu, na jaane tum uske saath itna kyun rehte ho..
Mayank: excuse me? Tum hoti kaun ho uske bare me kuch bhi bolne wali? Tum shayad bhul gayi ho ke wo meri dost hai. Bahut achi dost hai. And I don't have to listen to this okay. (He begins to walk away)
Sandhya: ya don't listen to me. Aur kisi ki baat sunoge bhi kyun tum? Aankhon pe Nupur ke naam ki patti bandhi hai. (Mayank stops and angrily turns back.)
Mayank: tum na mujhe thik se janti ho, na Nupur ko janti ho, hamare bare me bole hi ja rahi ho, bole hi ja rahi ho? Nupur jaisi bhi hai, tumse bahut achi hai. And most importantly, meri dost hai. Don't u get that?
Sandhya: I don't get it and neiher do u. Wo tumhare liye na jaane kya hai. Tumhe nazar nahi aata ki I really like you? Lekin nahi, tumhe toh bas Nupur, Nupur, Nupur. Thik hai raho uske saath. Main ab kabhi interfere nahi karungi.
Mayank: (slowly) huh, kaise nahi karogi. Project me toh ab bhi chipki rahogi.
Sandhya: kya? Don't worry. Main tumhara project bhi chod rahi hu. Goodbye. (She storms off with tears in her eyes.)
Mayank: Phew. And good riddance. (Does a double take) maine use kuch galat toh nahi kaha. Pata nahi kya bol rahi thi..very strange.
(Nupur suddenly comes up from behind and taps him on the shoulder.)
Nupur: yeh akele khade hoke kya badbad kar rahe ho? Bachpan me hi pagla gaye kya?
Mayank: pagalo ke saath rehke pagal hi toh banunga na.
Nupur: Mayank tum na! (gears up for major argument session)
Mayank: (putting a hand on her mouth) shhh! Abhi nahi. Abhi class badbad ki nahi hai, Deodhar ki hai.
Cut to: Classroom – Gunjan
She is early for class and only a few students can be seen. She takes her usual seat and as she puts her hand in th desk to keep her bag there, she notices an envelope with her name on it. curious, she takes it out and opens it to find a letter.
"hamari dosti ka rang kya hai, pucha toh hua confuse,
ab roses ka rang kya ho, ye soch ud gaya fuse,
yellow se hai mithas rishte me,
toh red se hai thoda sa pyar,
pink se hai khubsurati,
aur orange se hai izhaar..
toh bhej diye saare hi rang, aaj apke dwar!
Umeed hai ke apki zindagi kabhi berang na ho,
happy birthday!!"
Gunjan smiles to herself. "Toh wo phool Samrat ne bheje the. Bahut khubsurat the."
"Tumhare alawa koi aur bhi khusburat hai chashmish?"
Gunjan turns to see Samrat standing beside her, with a smile on his face.
