ARVINID; pradeep…you here…I didn’t think I would ever see you again
PRADEEP; am in a hurry…I should probably be leaving right now…
ARVINID; pradeep wait…for old time’s sake talk to me…
PRADEEP; talk to you…what amazes me is your ability to act like everything is normal when it’s far from being normal….what do you expect me to do, feel happy that I have seen you again
ARVINID; am not asking much…just your time please…lets go for some coffee or something…I don’t anything I just need to talk to you…
…………………….. a while later……………
ARNAV; mom tells me you didn’t want dinner…why is that?
LAVANYA; are you asking because she asked you to or because you care
ARNAV; and where is all this coming from…
LAVANYA; I have been waiting for you…we need to talk…
ARNAV; about what..?
LAVANYA; about us…about this gap you keep putting between us…am your wife but to you am like a complete stranger…am fully aware of the circumstances we got married…but why does it feel like am the only one who is trying to make this work….you don’t make any effort and you don’t even acknowledge the efforts I put in…look at us…we are married and yet you still sleep on the couch…I can’t help but feel like our marriage is just for name sake
ARNAV; lavanya I think you’re tired and
LAVANYA; see…it’s like every time I try to bring us up…you try to divert me away but not this time arnav..i want to know something from you…khushi told me the only reason you two had to break up was because you had to marry me but I don’t care about that…
ARNAV; lavanya…
LAVANYA; no arnav…not this time…I need to know if you still have feelings for her…i need to know if she is the reason you aren’t willing to give us a chance…tell me the truth arnav do you still love her?
ARNAV; lavanya am married to you…and I do care about you
LAVANYA; that wasn’t the question arnav…and frankly I think I already know the answer to my question
ARNAV; lavanya wait…
LAVANYA; just leave me alone arnav…please…(she says as she walks out slamming the door behind her)
………………………
Khushi is eating her food when someone loudly bangs her door..she walks up the door only to find arnav…
KHUSHI; why do you have a spare key…if you can’t even use it…and do you have to bang on my door that loud
ARNAV; what exactly did you say to lavanya today…(he says as he invites himself inside)
KHUSHI; i said a lot of things to her…so can you be a little more specific
ARNAV; don’t act dumb khushi
KHUSHI; arnav I can’t possibly remember the exact words I told her today…I didn’t have a recorder on me..
ARNAV; you told her we broke up because of her
KHUSHI; I don’t get it…if you knew what I told her…why did you bother asking…
ARNAV; khushi…you have no idea what kind of predicament you put me through?? She left the house mad and I don’t even know where to begin to search for her
KHUSHI; so your wife is missing and you’re here screaming at me…shouldn’t you be looking for her
ARNAV; you must have said something else if she flipped off like that..she is missing and your making fun of it
KHUSHI; listen arnav I would love to help you…just kidding I would hate to help you…
ARNAV; why do you have to be so hot headed…you know the kind of position we are in…but all you do is complicate things…you think I enjoy juggling you and her…you think I wanted this
KHUSHI; so just because she threw a tantrum am at fault…am at fault for telling her the truth….her being upset should be the least of your priorities right now…especially after me telling you pradeep wants to see me get married…but it doesn’t concern you does it??
ARNAV; for one minute can we not speak about you…
KHUSHI; if lavanya is all your concerned about at this moment…leave
ARNAV; khushi if something happens to her…i
KHUSHI; Then what arnav?? What will you do…you will leave me…is that what you wanted to say…you know for someone you claim not to love…you care about a little too much don’t you think
Before arnav can utter another word someone knocks on the door….
ARNAV; who is that??
KHUSHI; am standing here with you…how am I supposed to know…
ARNAV; were you expecting someone..
KHUSHI; no..
ARNAV; I cant be seen here…
KHUSHI; like I don’t know that…go wait in the bedroom…
…………..
KHUSHI; you have come to haunt me in my apartment too..
PRADEEP; I need to speak with you khushi
KHUSHI; does it have to be now
PRADEEP; yes…
KHUSHI; what is so important that you have to come here…you know I hate uninvited guests
PRADEEP; I spoke to your father today….
KHUSHI; what…so neela wasn’t hallucinating???
PRADEEP; what do you mean by that??
KHUSHI; I was with her when she said she saw him but when I turned he wasn’t there...so I thought that maybe it was a figment of her imagination…you know her right??
PRADEEP; khushi I know you hate him..but when I spoke to him today I could see the remorse he had…
KHUSHI; and why are you telling me all of this
PRADEEP; I know you want nothing to do with him…but don’t you think its only fair he comes to find out about your existence
KHUSHI; what for? So he can reject me like neela…I have never had a father and frankly I don’t think I need one right now...i have too much going in my life I don’t want to add to that…
PRADEEP; khushi
KHUSHI; no
PRADEEP; I know your scared..
KHUSHI; you have no idea about how I feel…he never wanted me what makes you think he will now?? Even if he did…I would never want him in my life…he is the one person I blame for everything…he is the reason why my own mother hates me and that’s something I will never forgive him for….i have lived all my life with a burden of being unwanted
PRADEEP; don’t you atleast want to know who he is?
KHUSHI; what for???
PRADEEP; khushi I know him…we grew up together and when I spoke to him I realized he regrets what happened…all am I asking is for you to give him a chance to redeem himself
KHUSHI; don’t you get it…I want nothing to do with him
PRADEEP; what if I told you…you have a sister…………
