When Shaurya came back to Shaan's flat he was a bit exhausted from heat. He ruffled his hair and entered into the flat. He was lost in his own world. He could not help repeatedly thinking about their parting moments. Anokhi looked lovely today in a pink colored salwar. How did the whole evening pass without him paying her the compliment. He called her immediately.
Shaurya- Hello Anokhi! Bohot beautiful lag rhi thi tum aaj.
Shaan looks at his son and can't help give a laugh at his antics.
Shaurya- Achaa achaa room pohonchogi toh bata dena.
He keeps the phone and wonders why he hadn't take a single picture with her yet. Maybe this was too good to be true. He didn't want to jinx this.
Shaan- Kuch jinx nhi hoga. Saari umar photo nhi loge uske sath?
Shaurya- Dad! Waise mein soch rha tha dinner mein pizza khaoon chalega aapko?
Shaan-Haan. Waise bhi aaj match hai. I don't know tum matches dekhte ho yaa nhi. Aur abhi toh mein bhi nhi dekhta par hum sath mein dekh sakte hai. Agar tum chaho.
Shaurya didn't have the heart to say no. So he texted a while later to Anokhi that he was having a plan with his dad. Anokhi hid her disappointment and went back to studying so that she would be free on another day so that they could watch a movie together. But somewhere in between she got distracted and started to check out movies. She was thinking of what kind of a movie should they watch together. An English one or a hindi one? An action one or a comedy or a romantic one? A classic or something contemporary? What should their first movie experience together be like? That's when she started to scroll through highly rated Indian films and found that they were dominated by Malayalam and tamil ones. But this was an alien language to both of them. Which would make sense right? To pick a movie and a culture alien to both of them. Something that would be a new experience and unique to this relationship wouldn't it? She finally thought they should either watch Angamaly Diaries or Jallikattu. Not romantic but apparently they were filled with food references. And food was tempting. So either of these two would be their date film. Their first date film. She realized she had wandered off from the work at hand and therefore she decided to return to the chapter and started to underline terms to get back to the academic head space. But before that for one final time she considered this. The idealism, the innocence of first love. A feeling she hopes she never got tired off. Because she no longer could imagine a life without feeling this way. Shaurya meanwhile wasn't much into the match. His brain was running through her images. Their date, their time together. And this feeling that he hope never died out. Life without love felt some what broken, misshapen. And now with the scent of love an appetite had got stirred in his belly for life itself.
Shaan- Shaurya! Arre! Suno! Kahan khoye hue ho! Maine kabhi imagine nhi kia tha yeh bhi side hoga tumhara....
Shaan picks his slice of pizza and begins to eat it.
Fir mat kehna kahan nhi aur pizza ka last slice utha lia.
Shaurya- Dad! Pizza ka last slice!
Shaan- Tum Anokhi land mein the toh utha lia maine. Kab tak aise slice ki tauheen hone deta bolo.
Shaurya- Dad aap bhi naa mere pyaar ka fayda utha rhe ho. But I am sure mom hoti toh aapka bhi dhyaan pizza pe naa hota.
Shaan- Shaurya! Woh toh ab nhi hai naa. Hai toh bas yeh slice aur tum. Atleast tum toh ho ab. Aur woh bhi naraz nhi ho.
Shaurya- Dad.... You know mom ke sath rehna yaa nhi rehna aapki choice honi chahiye. Meri nhi. Mein kaun hota hoon kuch kehne. Mera unke sath relation alag hai. Par aap unhe pasand karte ho naa. Fir?
Shaan- Shaurya itna aasaan thodi hai.
Shaurya- Darta hoon dad. Junaid ko dekhkar lagta hai zindagi kitni choti hai. God forbid aisa kuch ho par mere I mean aapke paas choice hai dad. Aur aapne woh choice ko jaane dia! Aur abhi jaane de rhe ho.
Shaan- Tum bhi Shaurya. Tum bhi!
There is silence.
Shaan- Shaurya par tumhara faisla hoga woh. Tum mere sath ho toh mein uss choice ke liye taiyar hoon. But Aastha mujhe maaf karegi?
Shaurya- Koshish kariye. Apne pyaar se door rehna aasaan nhi hoga unke liye. So shayd maaf karde?
Shaan- Hmmm. Mein baat karne jaa rha hoon usse. Tum yeh dibbey phekdo aur so jaana.
Shaurya- OK dad.
Shaurya rings Anokhi.
Anokhi- Haan! Hello.
Shaurya- So gyi kya?
Anokhi- Naa toh. Padh rhi thi.
Shaurya- Haan awaaz se pata chal rha hai. So jao.
Anokhi- Arre ab toh neend toot gyi naa. Isliye bolo kya hua?
Shaurya- Kuch nhi aise hi call kia.
So what will our next experience be? When is it going to be?
Anokhi- Shaurya! Week day mein shayd possible naa ho. Wednesday ko try kar sakti hoon. Uss din zyada classes nhi hai.
Shaurya- Anokhi! Wednesday! I thought hum roz milenge thodi der ke liye. Anokhi same hi college mein hai dono. Aur tum keh rhi ho Wednesday tak ka wait karoon?
Ab yeh kya baat hui!
Anokhi- Arre! Har din thodi koi milega. I mean aise thodi hota hai. Couples toh thode time baad milte hai naa.
Shaurya- Anokhi! Shadi ke baad toh saare couples sath mein hi rahenge naa! Ultimately toh ek dusre ke sath saara time spend karna hai.
Anokhi- Haan par usko toh time hai naa.
Shaurya- Anokhi yaar! Achaa tumhari marzi! Tum kaho toh saal baad mile?
Anokhi- Ab yeh toh nhi kahan.
Shaurya- Chalo so jao! Bye!
He cuts the phone.
Anokhi- Arre....
