They ate dinner at the Maurya and he broke the speed limit to get to the 11:10 show. She sulked all the way.
S: First 10 minutes are usually commercials
K: How do you know?
S: I am assuming
K: You are too snotty to watch a Hindi movie, how would you know?
S smiles
K: Jab hum log gaye Ujju, Ray, Pradyun sab, aap gaye bhi nahi...
Pause
K:Uske baad aapke saath 4 English movies dekhi...
S: Do you watch movies with Pradyun now?
She looks out the window
S:What did you watch that day?
She has no clue... forgot long ago
He parks with a massive screech of the tyres, he is sure he will get a ticket...
He is wearing his fave knee length droopy shorts and a A&F tee..., velcro sandals
She has a pink Gap hooded sweatshirt on..., and her pink swoosh Nike...
She starts charging towards the cinema hall
He pulls her
S:What are you doing?
A car loudly honks and whizzes past her, missing her by an inch... a 20 something guy swears generously in Punjabi
S is furious!
S: Ranbir wont run away! Can you watch where you are going?
K: Mujhe nahi pata woh kaha se aaya
S: Are you new to India? Or Delhi? (incredulous)
K: Aapse nahi ladna mujhe...
He holds her hand firmly as they navigate the Sat nite madness around Delhi's posh market place...
S:We have 7 minutes...
K: His new movie is coming out Diwali day... I will miss the preview
S:Watch it on You tube!!
Heads turn, people look at the couple...
K: You should be on your phone and quit worrying abt me
S: Cut the sarcasm Khanak
They enter, he buys the tix, while she prays it shudnt be housefull
He arches his eyebrows dryly
"Looks like lover boy is losing his charm"
"This movie released 6 weeks ago" (defensive)
He rolls his eyes, and they walk towards the Gold Class...
He buys popcorn despite her refusal, she is impatient, wants to rush...
The theatre is almost empty...
They take the last row...
Pick seats...
She sits up when the Diwali preview of "lover boy" appears
She gushes and almost claps
He is looking at her and smiling... mockingly
She turns to say something
"I want to watch this one!"
"Not with me" "One Hindi movie is all I can take for a year"
She moves away, putting distance between...
He pushes his comfy seat back to reclining position. she sits up straight as credit rolls...
"It will be the same movie even if you lean back"
"Ha ha" "Shut up"
He shuts his eyes, but the guy with the menu card walks by and irritates him
She hastily says "mujhe kuch nahi chahiye" "Shhh"
He signals the guy "Ab inhoney mana kar diya to mujhe bhi bhooka rehna padega"
The guy "Sir aap boliye"
"He shakes his head, the guy lingers...
"S: I cant order Ive been told not to speak"
The man gives him a weird look and walks away...
He flings a popcorn at her, completely uninterested...
She is drowing in the movie... blushes when Ranbir kisses the girl...
hums along with him when he sings
S shuts his eyes and dozes off...
The movie breaks at interval... the lights come on
K:I shud never bring you ever again (hisses) You shuould do this at home in BED!
S: will you join me? (softly in her ear)
She sits up
K: go away! Aapke saath aage se kabhi nahi...
S: Promise? (chuckles)
He doesnt let her pass for going to the rest room
She shoves his knee... and leaps over his legs...
A bunch of guys sitting in row 7, see her and comment abt her long pony tail...
He gets up and follows his wife...
The men, look away when she returns with her husband...
K: Paani liya aapne?
S: Umm mm
She smiles
S: Go with me!
K: abhi start ho jaayegi (wails)
S: I DONT want you in ur seat by yourself (succinct)
K: kyon? (unaware)
S: We can research the whys when we get home, (nudges her elbow and pushes her fwd)
They get water, return...
The movie has begun already
He texts... and checks email... smiles when he sees the thank you note...
Responds to some emails
She leans back... tired... she yawns... he slides to his left... she gently creeps to her right...
"You can lean on me, I wont tell Ranbir" (in her ear) as he continues to text...😳😳
