She taps him on the shoulder as he walks away from the check-in counter towards security check.He is caught off-guard and just stands there.She hands him a manila envelope,asks him to check if they are okay before leaving.He opens it,finds the papers torn to pieces.He looks at her quizzically.
(Inspired by an old Bengali movie).A little cheesy,a little melodramatic,but hey,love confessions shouldn't be plain vanilla,right?
The dialogues are (almost)all products of my wacky imagination.
😉
I: Where do you get off thinking you can get rid of me that easily?Name one other female in this world who would willingly put up with your special brand of nonsense.Your ANGER issues,don't get me started on those.La Opala sent us a thank you note,for keeping them rolling in profits.They've never had so much repeat business!
R: As opposed to your mesmerizing lectures,which would resolve the Kashmir and Israel/Palestine issues in a jiffy,after the world having to witness grown men cry.If only the UN didn't keep throwing out your resume!
I:Oh yeah?Your love for the bottle,well,just the other day,a head-hunter for Kingfisher called.They're looking for a Head of Quality Control.You're the top contender.
R:Okay,I wasn't going to mention your dress sense,but we just cannot keep ignoring those reminders from Kashmir Emporium.They need their kalims back,Ishita.
I: You know,I've just realised.We're two very screwed up individuals.We're probably going to make some therapist very rich.But here's the thing,Raman.
I just can't think of any other person I would rather attend couples counselling with for the rest of my life.
R:Now that is what is known as an ACE in tennis.I hate you too.
Smiling at each other,they hug.The small crowd gawking at them bursts out clapping.A teenager passes a wisecrack.
R:What do you mean,GET A ROOM,you punk?This is my legally wedded wife,jackass!
I:(Sighs and looks heavenwards,nodding)Many,many MANY years of therapy.
They walk off,hand-in-hand,into the smog-filled Delhi winter night.

Disclaimer:Ishita's last line was essentially a parody of the following clip.It does contain profanity,so please avoid it if this offends you.Having said that,once you see the clip,it will grow on you.You will ask yourself,wait,did he actually say "it made me feel good about myself,like I accomplished something"?And you will end up nodding your head at his friend's response. 😆
Bad Santa-I beat the sh*t outta some kids today
