Episode 9: The Dream Duet
Scene 1 - Cinema
Sathya spots Prakash inching his way through the row that is half-filled. She greets him and introduces Dharani to him while Prakash introduces Ashok. They take a seat and the film starts.
Dharani: Right, I think I have a way to find your Raja. Imagine yourself in place of Nazriya in this song and whoever you see in place of Arya, is your Raja. Try it.
Sathya: That's stupid, (quietly to herself) but I got to try it (smiles)
Sathya imagines herself in Nazria's place and sees Prakash dancing with her instead of Arya.
She is shocked.
She looks at Prakash
Prakash turns to look at Sathya
Sathya offers him popcorn
Prakash: What flavour?
Sathya: Salted
Prakash: Sweet
Sathya: No, it's salted
Prakash: I meant it as that's nice and not that it's sweet flavoured (smiles)
Prakash takes a handful of popcorn
Sathya: I have a doubt, how do you know when you fall in love with someone?
Prakash: When you start to have illusions of them. Say if I love you, I would dream of us having that dance instead of Arya and Nazria.
Sathya smiles out of astonishment as Prakash seemed to have explained her situation.
Sathya: Do you?
Prakash: Do I what?
Sathya: See us two dancing in the screen
Prakash: (M.V, MindVoice) Even now...
Prakash: You made it clear that we are friends, so why would I?
Sathya: That's good
Sathya: (M.V) Ok, so I'm the weird one. It's time to erase my memory.
The film ends
Dharani: (sings) Oday Oday Oday Oday Oday Oh
Sathya imagines Prakash
Sathya: (M.V) Oh great, now I will be thinking of Prakash every time I hear this tune...
Sathya: Stop
Dharani stops moving and opens her mouth in shock
Sathya: I only meant stop singing (smiles)
Sathya looks outside and finds that it is raining heavily. She rushes outside in excitement and opens her arms wide to enjoy the rain to its fullest.
Dharani: I can't walk home in this.
Sathya: Well, I don't have any money so we can't take the taxi.
Sathya closes in on Dharani
Sathya: We don't have any other option
Sathya holds Dharani's arms ready to whizz her away
Dharani: Wait, what about your friend giving us a lift?
Sathya: Going on a bike is hardly going to stop you getting wet
Dharani: It's much faster meaning I won't get drenched.
Sathya: We don't even know whether they came in bikes?
Prakash and Ashok come
Dharani: We'll find out
Prakash and Ashok agree to give a lift to their house
Sathya gets in Prakash's bike and they ride to Sathya's house
Sathya: Don't you just love the rain?
Prakash: I love the rain especially the sandy smell you get after it has rained. It's the cold that gets me.
Sathya: Cuddling is an effective way to keep warm
Sathya wraps her arms around Prakash and rests her hand on his shoulders
Sathya: How's this?
Prakash: Much better
They get to Sathya's house and Sathya gets off
Sathya: See you tomorrow
Dharani runs inside while Sathya joyfully skips her way. Prakash stands to admire her.
Ashok: Get a move on dream boy! Not everyone prefers the rain like you and your lover.
Prakash sets off with a big smile.
Scene 2 - Gayathri's Cabin
Prabha enters Gayathri's cabin
Gayathri: Are you aware that tomorrow is Friday, with each day gone Sathya is slowly pushing you out of this company.
Prabha: I can't think of anything, I just don't know how to get her out of here. I am looking for some guidance really.
Gayathri: It's your lucky day, I have a plan...
Prabha: I'm really worried about my job, can you not talk with the MD about this?
Gayathri is silent
Prabha gets up, holds Gayathri's arms and drags her. Just as she opens the door Gayathri breaks free.
Gayathri: Stop! (panics)
Prabha: What's wrong? You're the great GM, surely he would listen to you. He has to listen to you.
Gayathri: That's it, I'm ONLY the GM. He has more authority than me and I can only advice him not argue with him. It's his decision which is why the straight way is out.
Prabha: I'm putting all my trust on you.
Gayathri: And it's going to pay off. We have to be secretive and I have the perfect thing to do.
Prabha: Thank you so much for helping me...
Prabha hugs Gayathri
Prabha: (M.V, with a smile) ... give opportunities to destroy your plan
