Cut to: Gunjan's RoomShe is sitting on the bed, quiet' trying to analyse what had happened to her on the beach that had made her suddenly upset ' insecure? About what? It wasn't as if it was the first time she had seen Samrat with a girl. He was always surrounded by so many. But she hadn't liked that intrusion to their privacy. She was so much enjoying talking to him. Her thoughts are broken by the appearance of Dia.Gunjan: Dia tum? Kya baat hai?
Dia: wo toh mujhe tumse puchna chahiye honey.
Gunjan: main kuch samjhi nahi.
Dia: tumhe aane me itni der kaise ho gayi?
Gunjan: wo actually di presentation ke liye gayi hai toh main Samrat ke saath...
Dia: exactly babes. Samrat ke saath. Tum kyun hamesha uske aage peeche ghumti rehti ho? Cant you see he hates it?
Gunjan: kya?
Dia: dekho babes. Samrat tumhare type ka ladka nahi hai. Wo cool hai, modern hai, tum me interest lene ka uska ab koi objective nahi hai.
Gunjan: objective?
Dia: haan, jaise talent parade me tha?
(
Gunjan looks a bit blank and Dia goes on.) Don't tell me tumhe nahi pata Sammy aur mere shart ke bare me? Usi wajah se toh usne tumhare gaane me itna interest liya tha. Lekin ab he doesn't want to hang around with you. Usne mujhe khud kaha hai. Please uska peecha chod do. (
She puts a hand on Gunjan's shoulder) Tum meri cousin ho, main nahi chahti ke tumhe hurt feel ho. Sammy se pyar wyar mat kar baithna. I hope u know what I mean.
(She smiles wryly to herself and leaves the room. Gunjan is completely at a loss and doesn't even know how to react to all that Dia said.)
Cut to: Mayank and NupurThey are walking on the deserted road, keeping eyes open for any kind of transport.Nupur: kab khatam hoga yeh road? Agar yeh shortcut hai toh long cut kya chand tak leke jaayega? Pata hai Mayank, Morena me har gali me aur kuch nahi toh rickshaw toh mil hi jaati thi. Par Mumbai me? Raste bhi pagal hai, log bhi. By God!
Mayank: kyun, ab logo ne kya kiya?
Nupur: kya kiya matlab? Tumhe wo team yaad hai jinhone news channels par project banaya tha?
Mayank: haan, MRC college ki hi toh thi shayad. Kyun? Tumhe achi laga unki presentation?
Nupur: arey presentation suni hi kab maine? Usme jo ladka tha uski shakal aise bani hui thi jaise ek hafte se kuch khaaya peeya na ho! Main toh wohi dekh rahi thi.
Mayank: acha, toh tum free time me ladko ko dekhti ho.
Nupur: (
embarrassed) mere kehne ka wo matlab nahi tha.
Mayank: acha?
Nupur: aur nahi toh kya. Aur waise tum bhi, jab dekho wo Matsala, Utsula ko hi padhata rehte ho.
Mayank: Vatsala, Nupur.
Nupur: oho, uska naam galat le liya toh bura lag raha hai?
Mayank: kisi ka bhi naam galat nahi lena chahiye.
Nupur: haye kyun? Tumhe toh monkey bada suit karta hai. (
She is walking in her usual chirpy way and skids on some pebbles in the path. Mayank grabs her hand and stops her from falling just in time.)Mayank: haan. Aur tumhe baarish bahut suit karta hai.
Nupur: baarish? Kyun? (
Fluttering eyelashes dramatically) Main saawan ke mausam jitni khusburat hu na?
Mayank: tum bhi Mumbai ki baarish ki tarah hamesha girti jo rehti ho.
Nupur: Mayank!
Mayank: Nupur, hum main road pe aa gaye hai. Chillaogi toh log sochenge tumne mujhe kidnap kiya hai.
Nupur: huh! Maine ya tumne?
Mayank: shakal se kidnapper tum hi lagti ho. (
He laughs and Nupur gets offended. She walks a bit away from him to stop an approaching auto.)Nupur: agar mera mazaak udake thak gaye ho toh ab chale?
(Mayank smiles and comes to where she is standing. He gets hold of her hand once again and she looks at him enquiringly.)Mayank: agar dobara gir gayi toh? Isliye pehle se hi sambhalne ke liye tayyar hu.
(Nupur looks at her favourite monkey and they both smile. Despite all their arguments and differences in opinion, what they shared seemed to be a yet inexplicable, yet beautiful bond.)Edited by debby - 16 years ago
