PART 1
Today students were graduated for their final year in Mumbai and from tomorow they will start their new life. In this occasion students are usually happy n excited but it wasn't the case for Shaantanu Khandelwaal. After his graduation instead of spending time with his friends n close ones he is sittin all alone in a barâŚa glass of scotch in his handâŚsince he is there he had the same glass but did not have a slip of itâŚeveryone left the bar but Shaan was still there lost in his thoughts. A girl was watchin him from the beggininâŚshe was workin there as a bartenderâŚand usually she goes home around 10:30 pm but she was still here n it was more than 11:30. She did not disturbed shaan but now she really nedded to go home so she walks toward him n stops behind the bar.
Gal: listenâŚI know u look upset but I really need to go nowâŚ(shaan looks up at her)
Shaan: im sorry I was justâŚâŚ
Gal: wanna talk?
Shaan: what?
Gal: apne problem ke bare meinâŚbaat karna chahte ho?
Shaan: thanks butâŚek ajnabi ke saath apne problems share karnaâŚits weird (the girl sits on the chair in front of shaan)
Gal: iska matlab yesâŚaur rahi baat ajnabi hone kiâŚtho main itna keh sakti hoon ki tum abhi abhi graduate ho gaaye but still look upsetâŚdoston se alag ho rahe ho issi liye??
Shaan: nahinâŚactually mere parents ke waje seâŚ
Gal: ooooâŚtho tere parents aaj tere saath nahin theâŚ
Shaan: yeahâŚlekin ab mujhe adaat ho gaayi haiâŚits not the first time but it still hurts
Gal: Whats the big deal?? Graduation tumhara thaâŚapni naayi life tum start karne vale ho aur vahan tumhara hone zaroori thi tere parents ki nahinâŚ(shaan looks at her surprised)
Shaan: what do u mean? Agar meri jagah tum hoti tho tumhe bura nahin lagta??
Gal: for ur kind information aaj meri bhi graduation thiâŚlekin meri baat alag haiâŚmain khud apni family se door chali aayi hoon yahanâŚkyunki mujhe apne sapne poore karne hain
Shaan: issi liye tum aisa bol rahi hoâŚpar main tho apni family ke saath hoon naa
Gal: but its ur life dudeâŚI mean itne choti choti baton ke liye apni life ki best moments spoil nahin karni chahiyeâŚyou've just been graduated and u should enjoy this moments with ur friendsâŚpar tum devdas ki tarah yahan depressed hoâŚâŚtumse kuch kahun tho meri baat maanoge?
Shaan: wellâŚkoi stupidity naa ho tho why not
Gal: tumhe apne parents se iss bare mein baat kar leni chahiyeâŚu should just tell them how you feel
Shaan: noâŚI think unhe bura lagega
Gal: aur aaj tak tumhe jaise feel hua hai uska kya?...jab tak tum bataoge nahin voh kabhi samajh nahin paayenge and they will repeat the same mistake again n againâŚaur agar tum unhe batana nahin chahte tho unhe blame bhi mat karoâŚ(shaan thinks for a while)
Shaan: maybe you're rightâŚ
Gal: I know im right! You know life mein kabhi yeh maybe word use karni nahin chahiyeâŚwe have only one life n we shoud live it to the fullestâŚhar din aise jeeni chahiye jaise voh last hoâŚno tension, no tears, no sadnessâŚwe should enjoy every moment of our life spending it with people we love and live our dreamsâŚ(shaan smiles listenin her)
Shaan: tho tum kabhi pareshaan nahin hoti ho?
Gal: main stupid nahin hoon jo tumhari tarah apni life ki khushiyaan spoil karun (n she takes the glass from his hand n wash it)
Shaan: shayad tumne dekha nahin par maine pee nahin liya thaâŚ
Gal: issi liye tho maine liyaâŚtum isse peene vale the hi nahinâŚjab se aaye ho yahin glass haath mein haiâŚlisten stranger tumse baat karna mujhe acha lagta hai but seriouslyâŚmujhe ab jaana hoga
Shaan: ya sureâŚbut thanksâŚu know its weird kyunki main tumhe janta tak nahin aur jo baat maine aaj tak apni family ko nahin kaha voh tumse kaha and I feel much better nowâŚso thanksâŚ
Gal: it was my pleasure stranger!
Shaan: btw tumhara naam kya hai?
Gal: Sunshine
Shaan: are u serious?? Yeh tumhara real naam hai?
Gal: nahinâŚbut that's how people call me (shaan smiles)
Shaan: anyway imâŚ(before he could introduce himself the gal cuts him)
Gal: don'tâŚjin se main phir kabhi nahin milti unka naam jaan ne mein koi faida nahin
Shaan: tumse kisne kaha ki hum phir nahin milne vaale? Infact main tho kal tumse phir se milne aaoungaâŚ
Gal smiles: kis khushi mein ?
Shaan : c'monâŚabhi jo main apne parents se baat karunga tho tumhe batana hoga naa
Gal: theek haiâŚagar hum kal mile tho tum mujhe apna naam batana
Shaan: hum zaroor milengeâŚ
Gal: bye strangerâŚ
Shaan: see you tomorrowâŚSunshineâŚ(they smile to each other n shaan leaves)

The same evening, when shaan reaches home sunil n madhvi were waiting for him. They get very happy seeing him and madhvi hugs shaan.
Ma: congratulations beta!! Im very happy for you
Shaan: thanks momâŚ(then sunil walks toward him)
Su: shaan betaâŚaaj main bohut khush hoonâŚim very proud of you my sonâŚ(shaan just smiles)
Shaan: thanks dad
Ma: beta tum apne doston ke saath enjoy kar rahe the naa thaag gaaye hogeâŚjaa kar araam karo hum kal baat karte hainâŚ(shaan at first hesitates to talk to his parents but remembers what that girl said to him n decides to do it)
Shaan: momâŚactuallyâŚmujhe aap dono se baat karni hai
Su: theek haiâŚaao yahan baithoâŚ(madhvi n sunil sit next to each other n shaan sits in front of them)
Ma: shantanu kya hua hai?
Shaan: momâŚâŚaaj jab aap dono mere graduation mein nahin the thoâŚtho mujhe bohut bura laga thaâŚitna bura ki mujhe aisa lagne laga ki aap dono ke liye apki business aur meetings apke bete se bhi ziada important haiâŚ(madhvi looks at sunil surprised)
Ma: but beta humâŚ(shaan cuts her)
Shaan: nahin momâŚlet me finishâŚmujhe aap dono par bohut gussa aa raha thaâŚaur aaj thoâŚaaj tho main ghar bhi nahin aana chahta thaâŚpar kisi ne mujhe ehsaas dilaaya ki galti sirf apki nahin balki meri bhi haiâŚkyunki maine kabhi apse apni dil ki baat share nahin kiâŚaur issi liye ab mujhe aap dono se koi shikayat nahin haiâŚ
Su: shaanâŚbeta hume humesha aisa laga ki tum apni khushiyan humse ziada apne doston ke saath share karna chahte hoâŚissi liye humne kabhi uss mein interfere karne ki koshish nahin kiâŚ
Shaan: I know dadâŚand im really sorry
Ma: we are sorry too betaâŚand I promise hum tumhe phir kabhi aisa feel karne nahin dengeâŚâŚab jao araam karo
Shaan hugged his parents n went to his bedroom. He was feelin much better after this conversation and all that was because of that girl. He smiled thinking about herâŚhow he opened his heart to a complete stranger and how this same stranger changed his life in one nightâŚ
Shaan: sunshineâŚjisne bhi usse yeh naam diya hai bohut soch samajh kar diya haiâŚtodi ajeeb si haiâŚmujhe mera naam tak batane nahin diyaâŚkoi baat nahinâŚkal jab milenge tho naam ke saath tumse dosti bhi karunga (he smiles n went to sleep)
***
The next day, Shaan got up early in the morning n got ready to leave. When he reached the bar he quickly rushed inside n find it empty. Only one old man was sittin alone in a table drinking. He then saw an employee n thought to ask him about the girl.
Shaan: excuz meâŚkya aap mujhe bata sakte hain ki apke bartender ki duty kab shuru hoti hai?
Employee: sir yahan kahin bartenders hainâŚaap kisko dhoond rahe hain?
Shaan: voh ladki jo kal yahan thiâŚlambe baalâŚbig brown eyesâŚusse log sunshine bhulate hain!
Employee: ooooâŚsorry sir par kal uski job ki akhri din thi (shaan gets shocked)
Shaan: what??...tho phir ab voh kahan hai?
Employee: pata nahin sirâŚuski studies khatam hue tho usne yahan ka kam bhi chodaâŚ
Shaan: kya aap mujhe uska naam bata sakte hain phir?
Employee: yahan tho usse sirf sunshine ki naam se hi jante hainâŚusne kabhi apna asli naam bataaya nahin (shaan gets very desapointed)
Shaan: okayâŚthanksâŚ(he sadly walks toward the door when the old drunked man called him from behind)
Man: milegiâŚ(shaan turns to face him) fikar mat karo young manâŚek din voh tumhe wapis milegiâŚyeh sab tho kismat ka khel haiâŚkabhi paana tho kabhi khonaâŚkabhi milna tho kabhi bicharnaâŚbut if you truly believe in itâŚthen one day you will find herâŚkismat khud usse tumhare samne laake kada kardegiâŚ
Shaan does not give any importance to the man and leaves. He stops outside the bar his hands on his waist.
Shaan: that's cheating sunshineâŚtumhe pata tha ki hum aaj nahin milengeâŚab main tumhe thanks kaise kahunga? Pata nahin hum life mein dobara kabhi milenge bhi ya nahinâŚ(he looks up at the sky closing his eyes when he feels the warmth of a sun ray caressing his face and it made him smile again) milengeâŚim sure hum milenge sunshineâŚ
Love and Luck to All
