Propose Day

Kartik is staring at the words he has written down in his diary. He is confused, he cannot remember when did he write that?

Kartik (thinking): Yeh maine kab likha? Aur main toh kabhi aisa kuch likhta hi nahi. He flips the pages. Hmmm..kal shaam ko jab maine diary check ki thi tab toh yeh nahi thi..he gets a faint memory of him waking up at night in sleep and writing.

Kartik (realizing in mind): ohhhh...toh yeh sapna nahi tha. Maine sach me yeh likh diya. He sits down stunned. Aisa toh pehle kabhi nahi hua. mujhe yeh sab sapna lag raha tha. He shakes his head. Kartikkk...kya ho gaya hai tujhe?...he checks the words again. He smiles. Hmmmm..yeh toh romantic hai. kya main romantic hoon? he questions. His watch beeps. He checks it.

Kartik (getting up): chal beta Kartik. Tayyar ho jaa.. presentation pe kaam bhi toh karna hai. Mansi calls him up.

Mansi (on phone): Bhaiyya. Aap aa rahe ho naa? Nashta ready rakhoon?

Kartik: haan magar jaldi karna. Meri meeting 11 baje ki hai. usse pehle pahunchna hai. tere exams kab hai aaj?

Mansi: woh toh duphar me hi hai. jaldi aayiye.

Kartik is combing his hairs when he remembers suddenly that Naira had asked for his diary of poems. He takes his diary and is in two minds.

Kartik (mind): mujhe usse yeh diary dena chahiye ya nahi? Nahi...clear your mind Kartik..he clears his mind and the first thing he does is tear out the poem he had written last night. He checks his watch again and hurriedly stuffs the papers in his laptop bag and drives to meet Mansi.

Mansi: bhaiyya woh bank ke forms laaye hai aap? Mummy ne kaha mere sign chahiye?

Kartik (handing papers): haan..yeh le. Jahan jahan x hai wahan sign kar. Theekh se kar. He warns her. Aur haan tera aadhar card ka copy laa de. Attach karna hai.

Mansi (remembering): ohh. Abhi aati hoon she goes to her room.

Naira (to Kartik): Thanks for the book Kartik. Bahut acha laga mujhe.

Kartik (smile): You are welcome.

Naira: aap aaj aapki diary laaye hai? aapne promise kiya tha naa..

Kartik (embarrassed): Really Naira..Mansi yunhi bol rahi hai. main bass yuhi likh leta hoon. I am slightly embarrassed to share. Hope you understand.

Naira (sad a bit): hmm..it's okay.. I understand. I mean hum just mile hai. actually galti meri hai. mujhe aise aapse aapki personal cheez nahi maangni chahiye thi. I am sorry.

They both now remain silent. It's awkward between them. Mansi returns with the papers.

Kartik : sign kar diya?

Mansi : Nahi. Main toh stapler dhoondh rahi thi..Naira..stapler kahan hai?

Naira: oh yahan hai. she points to the table next to her.

Mansi: acha yeh le zara staple kar de. Main bathroom hoke aati hoon. she hands the papers to Naira.

Naira bends to take the staple from the table next to hers and a paper falls on the sofa she is sitting on. She absentmindedly places her poem book on top of it. Kartik leaves and Mansi also leaves for her college.
