Black screen.
In the background, a bass note is heard. It is gaining volume, causing unrest.
Fade-in. Aditya’s face in close. He is staring into the blank. Cut to mid shot. Some movements
are seen behind him and in front. Cut to mid-long shot. We see a lawyer standing behind Aditya, s#eaking
vehemently. Cut to long shot. More movement comes into view. We still hear no sound. Some other men
in suits are seen, contributing to the tense conversation. Lots of #eo#le talking together. Aditya is sitting
at the head of the table. There is a middle aged woman sitting across the table to him. Raghav, Aditya’s
colleague, touches his shoulder. Aditya looks at Raghav. Raghav looks cross. Sound fades in ( loud,
incom#rehensible din. Chief in that is the woman’s lawyer reading out certain demands from the
com#any.
Lawyer ) *continuing+ on the other hand you should be ha##y that my client is not insisting
on going to court. Although court jaane mein inka fayda hai. Chaar hearings mein baat saaf ho jayegi
ki ye kya deserve karti hain aur inko is com#any se kya milna chahiye.
The noise attacks the senses. Aditya sits amidst the madness for a while, then slowly gets u#.
Meanwhile, the noise continues off-camera (
Raghav I don’t think we should jum# to conclusions.
Lawyer 2 /ahan milne ka matlab yehi hai ki hum Mrs 0hanna ki demands ko consider kar rahe

Aditya stands facing the mirror in the wash room. He is looking down. After a moment, he looks
u# towards his eyes. He lacks the courage to look at himself. He looks down.
He comes out of the washroom, looks at the conference hall. Raghav is standing at the door of the
conference hall, waiting for him. He indicates to him to hurry back, the others are waiting. Raghav goes
inside. Aditya looks at the conference hall. Through the glass, he sees Raghav telling the others that
Aditya is coming back now. Aditya can see that the situation is waiting to e2#lode on him. He stands there
for a moment. Then instead of going towards the conference hall, Aditya turns right into the staircase.

Bom)ay platform, Train
The #latform, seen from the train through a door, is moving faster and faster. There are two men
standing at the door. 8ne of them ( a young man, is hanging out and bringing in #ieces of luggage from
someone still on the #latform. 1vidently, a girl is trying to catch the s#eeding train. There is a coolie
involved, but we can only hear them at this time.
Geet *8C+ 9akdaate jao, #akdaate jao Bhaisaab ke haat mein do.
8ne suitcase is already in. It is #ut on the side by someone. The young man gets off the train and
takes another suitcase from the coolie and loads it.
Young Man (to Man 1) Main neeche se pass kar raha hoon.
Coolie (to Geet) Tum chahadh jaayo pehle…
Geet (OC) Arey tum meri tension mat lo, samaan andar karo jaldi… Ye lo…
The suitcase is in. Man 1 passes it to the next man who passes it to the next. A bag comes in
now. Then a plastic shopping bag comes in, stuffed with loose items. Then another plastic bag. Then an
earthen pot with a flower plant. There are a few others who have collected in the door area in the second
class sleeper to see the drama. Meanwhile —
Coolie (OC) Hum keh rahe the doo go coolie ka samaan hai…
Geet (OC) Bag dekho bag dekho girega…
Man 1 Abhi aur bhi samaan hai?
Young Man (OC) Aane do, aane do…
Geet (OC) Ye lo, ye padko… Haan…
Man 1 Bahut riks hai bahut riks hai… Samne dekhiye…
Geet (OC) Haan dekh rahi hoon, aap jaldi jaldi samaan leejiye…
Now the young man climbs back in and extends his hand. The girl is pulled up into the running
train. She clambers in, stands clutching her waist, panting and exhausted. The small gathering is looking
at her.
Geet Oh… Oh teri… Oh god… Aaj to hadd hi ho gayee, line cross hi ho gayee thi aaj to… (She looks
at all the people in front. She lets out a laugh.) Pata hai kya, aaj tak life mein
ek train nahin chhooti meri… Thank you Babaji, mera record tootne se bacha
liya (to Young Man) Aa gayee hoon main andar. Ab to mera haath chhod do.
(laughs) Itni bhi sundar nahin hoon main.
Young Man leaves her hand in a spark and looks embarrassed as Geet points towards him and
laughs.

Train Passage
Passage in the moving train. The girl is walking up holding a bag and ticket, talking to the three
people who are following her with her luggage.
Geet You know, mujhe Non AC mein chalna better lagta hai. Magar meri family… Kehte hain tum
ladki ho… jaise mujhe hi nahin pata ki main ladki hoon. (to a passenger) Bhai
saab A2 hain na?
Passenger Haan…
Geet Thank you. (to her helpers) Ab AC se ladki ka kya connection hai, ye mere palle nahin pada.
The #assenger looks at the #rocession #ass.
Train Seats
Aditya is sitting on a seat. From the distance, Geet and the other three walk u#. Geet is looking at
the seat number as she walks.
Geet I mean koi #ehli baari to akele travel kar nahin rahi hoon main More so is train mein
/e to samajh lo ki mera second home hai.
Geet sto#s, looks at Aditya. She dro#s her bag, looks at her ticket, looks back at Aditya
sus#iciously. She crosses to face Aditya.
Geet Ticket dikhaana #lease.
Aditya is looking down, in a trance.
Geet Hello Aa# se baat kar rahi hoon. Arey< /e meri seat hai. Twenty four. 0amaal hai< 8 boss
She waves her hand in front of his face. He looks up towards her. She thinks he is hearing
impaired. She mimes, mouthing the words carefully.
Geet (miming) Ye seat… chaubis…. Meri…
Aditya looks at her, then gets up and sits on twenty three. He looks away.
(snip)
Geet is opening her jacket and hanging it in between and talking to Aditya.
Geet Ye passage waali seats koi nahin lena chahta, magar main insist karti hoon ki bhaiya passage
waali seat hi do. Reservation waale uncle bade hairaan pareshaan ho jaate hain magar
mera funda ye hai ki raaste ke nazdeek rehne…
(snip)
Geet is adjusting her luggage beneath the lower berth and up on the top berth and talking.
Geet Mera safar hai na, is train ke saath khatm nahin hota. No. Aage jaana hai mujhe — Bhatinda…
Mera ghar hai vahan, family hai… Sab ki hoti hai, meri bhi hai… Hai na?
Bhatinde ki sikhni hoon main…
(snip)
Geet is getting comfortable in the seat now and talking.
Geet Sab kehte hain Mumbai bada crowded hai. Arey? Crowded matlab kya? Crowd hum jaise logon
se hi to banta hai? Khud bheed ka hissa hain aur takleef bhi khud hi ko hai. So funny…
Aditya is sitting on his seat, looking the other way. Geet is another posture.
Geet (OC) Main to ja rahi hoon Mumbai chhod ke — hamesha ke liye. Aayee thi pata hai kab, jab
Mumbai Bombay tha. Ek naam ke shaher mein aayi, doosre naam ke shaher se ja rahi
hoon… Achcha batao mujhe ye kya logic hui ki…
(snip)
Aditya is getting uncomfortable with her talking so much.
Geet (OC) Hostel, hostel, hostel… St Teresa’s boarding school hostel in Shimla, Missionary Hostel
for College girls in Bombay Central, Government Girls Hostel on Marine Drive…
(snip)
Aditya is restess.
Geet (OC) Mujhe kasam hai aaj ke baad kabhi hostel mein nahin rahoongi. Nafrat ho gayee hai
mujhe hostels se. I hate hostels. I hate them.
(snip)
Aditya is more restless.
Geet (OC) I hope barsaat ke aane se pehle ye roads ki digging band ho jaye varna pata hai kya
hoga? Anyway mujhe to fark nahin padta kyonki main rahoongi nahin yahan magar jo
baaki janta hai yahan par…
Aditya can not take it anymore. He gets up abruptly and walks away.
Geet (OC) Kya hua? Arey…?

Train Door, Passage
Aditya o#ens the door of the train and looks out. The rails are clanging along, bushes are
jum#ing out from the darkness, #oles are whi>>ing #ast. He shuts his eyes for a moment. He hears a siren.
A train is a##roaching. He looks at the train. The train charges in, crushing the rails, shaking the gravel.
Aditya clenches his fists on the railing. There is no one near him. His face is getting hard. The train will
be there in seconds. It’s a matter of seconds. It is coming. It is about to reach.
Geet *8C+ /e kya kar rahe ho<
Aditya gets a start. He turns to look. Geet is standing there, with a towel and soa#, come to wash
her face. He turns to looks at her.
Geet *8C+ Chalti train ka door kabhi nahin kholte. 9ata hai kya ho sakta hai<
He is looking at her. The train tears #ast behind him. Geet s#eaks in animation about a young
boy who was travelling in the same train as her and had fallen off the door once. But nothing she says can
be heard because of the loud #assing of the train. /et she s#eaks with all her might.
*sni#+
Aditya turns away to the night. He closes his eyes and rela2es himself. She is washing her face
behind him.
Geet *washing face etc+ Mook ho, bol nahin sakte< /a sharmeele ty#e ke ho< /a sirf budtamee>
ho< Haan<
Geet shakes her head. Aditya is looking into the night as Geet s#eaks.
Geet (OC) Kuch to baat hai. Teen baari main pooch chuki hoon magar koi javaab hi
nahin.
TTE (OC) Ticket please.
The TTE is standing in front of Geet. Geet's face is wet.
Geet Berth pe hai. Aati hoon.
The TTE walks up to Aditya.
TTE Ticket dekhaiye please.
No response from Aditya. The TTE taps Aditya. Aditya turns.
TTE Aur door band kar deejiye. Ticket…
Geet comes up and begins to mime to Aditya, mouthing what she wants to express.
Get (miming) Ye tumhaari ticket dekhna chahte hain… Inhien ticket dikhao. Kahan hai? Ticket?
Ticket. Tee-ket…
Aditya (to TTE) Mere paas ticket nahin hai.
Geet looks at him.
{2 mins}
Train Seats
The TTE is sitting, taking out some registers from his pouch. Aditya is sitting in front. Geet is
sitting on the side.
Geet (explaining to the TTE) Actually dekhiye kya hua ki iska plan jo hai na vo aakhri moment pe
bana. Ticket banane ka time hi nahin tha. Vaise aap ko to pata hi hai
ki train khaali hai. To aap ab inki ticket bana deejiye, no problem. Hai
na? Bhaisaab aap convince ho gaye hain ya main aur boloon.
The TTE gives her a look, then turns to Aditya.
TTE Kahan ki ticket banaoon?
Aditya looks back at the TTE.
TTE Kahan jaana hai aapne?
Aditya Ye train kahan jaati hai?
TTE Kya?
Geet looks at Aditya, then turns to the TTE.
Geet Last stop. Dilli. Dilli ki ticket banaiye. Dekhiye, main aapko bata hi doo ki — haadsa hua hai inke
saath. Bura waqt hai. Tab hi ye… Dilli.
(snip)
The TTE leaves. Geet is looking at Aditya in amazement. She giggles.
Geet 0ya boss< Chakkar kya hai< Drugs shrugs lee hai<
Aditya does not re#ly. She comes closer.
Geet Dekho aisa hai ki life mein koi #roblem hai to mujhe bata sakte ho. I don’t mind. Bata do. Bade
saare dost mujhe a#ni #roblems batate hain aur main unhien solve
karti hoon, #ata hai< Us ty#e ki hoon main ( agony aunt hoti hai na,
maga>ines mein article aate hain< Vaisi To batao kya baat hai.
Bolo. Batao batao, sharmao nahin. Batao kya #roblem hai. Bolo na.
Aditya *bursts+ Tum ho meri #roblem. Tum Bolti ja rahi ho, bolti ja rahi ho Tumhien samajh mein
nahin aa raha ki main tumse baat karne mein interested nahin hoon<
Main nahin baat karna chahta tumse. Mujhe nahin janna hai ki tum
Bhatinda se aayi ho ya Banaras se ab tak hostel mein rehti thi ya
brothel mein. Mujhe maaf karo, #lease.
He turns away. Silence. He turns back towards her. She is looking at him.
Geet *calm+ Brothel vaali baat theek nahin thi.
He looks at her.
Aditya I’m sorry. Really I’m sorry. Mera vo matlab nahin tha.
Geet *back to herself+ Main jaanti hoon. Clearly dikh raha hai ki maha u#set ho tum kisi baat se. Tab
hi mujh#ar bhi u#set ho gaye aur bakwaas karne lage. Magar it’s okay.
Main bura nahin maan rahi hoon, haan< Actually aaj kal mujhe kisi
baat ka bura nahin lagta. 9ata hai kyon< 0yonki meri shaadi hone
waali hai. Bahut jaldi. Aur suno, bhaag ke shaadi kar rahi hoon. Vo
sikh nahin hai na, log manenge nahin. Magar shaadi ho jaane ke baad
koi kya kar sakta hai< Ja ke #airon #e gir jaana hai unke, maaf to
karna hi #adega. Manali mein rehta hai vo. Shaadi ke baad hum
#ahadon mein rahenge. Mujhe na #ahad bahut #asand hain. Really

Aditya sighs secretly as Geet rambles on.
Geet *8C+ 1k to ye hill aur mountain ke beech fark kya hai mujhe aaj tak samajh nahin aayi. Bade
hills mountain hote hain magar kitne bade< 0oi aisi measurement hai<

Geet is talking in usual enthusiasm.
Geet Bach#an se hi na mujhe shadi karne ka cra>e hai by god. Aur ab to main ruk hi nain sakti. Bas
wait kar rahi thi ki mera college khatam ho jaye aur uski travel agency
shuroo ho jaye.
Aditya sits hel#lessly.

Geet *8C+ Last few years mein hi hua hai ye sab ( trains time #ar chalne lagi hain aur flights ke
baare mein to ji jab bhi #ata karo to delayed. 0amaal hai, agar humein
delayed hi jaana hota to flight se kyon jaate<

Geet wakes u# at night. She is on the to# aisle berth. She mumbles.
Geet *mumbling+ jab ki na joote achche nahin milte vahan Tab hi to main
She rubs her face, looks around. She lifts her head to look out of the window across.
The train is at a sto#. It is a small #latform, looks like an unscheduled sto#.
Inside, Geet turns her head to look at the berth below her. Aditya is not there. The train whistle
blows. She looks u# the aisle and down. She is a bit worried.

She gets down the berth, walks down the #assage.
The train has begun to move.
A man is standing at the footboard as Geet is seen coming out of the com#artment near the
basins. She glances down the #latform, then goes towards the toilets. She is back in a flash.
Geet *to the man at the door+ 1k minute bhaisaab.
She moves to the door as the man moves in. She looks out at the #latform in tension. She reacts
on seeing Aditya.
Geet Arey
We see Aditya. He is walking away in the other direction.
Geet *screaming+ 8ye Train chhoot rahi hai.
Aditya does not hear, kee#s sauntering away in the other direction.
Geet (screaming louder) Arey suno… O hero… Hello…
The man returns to the door, looks out.
Man (to Geet) Naam kya hai?
Geet (screaming) O bhaisaab…
Man (to Geet) Bhaisaab naam hai?
Geet (screaming) Arey idhar dekho…
Man (to Geet) Aapke saath hai?
Geet (to Man in irritation) Arey yaar…
Man (screaming) O bhaisaab…
The other people on the platform notice the screaming, but not Aditya. He now sits on a bench,
looking the other way.
Geet gets off the train, darts a few steps.
Man (calling her) O behenji, kya kar rahi hain?
Geet (screaming) Arey O mister, train chhoot rahi hai. Oye…
He is sitting on the bench. Geet looks at the train, looks at him. She calculates. Then runs
towards Aditya with all her might, screaming after him.
Geet O kaali pant… O Bombay waale, suno… Arey…
She reaches him, pushes him. He turns to her.
Geet Paagal ho tum? Train jaa rahi hai, chalo.
Aditya looks at her, looks at the train, looks back at her, doesn't move.
Geet (stunned) Kya… Maro saale…
She turns and runs back towards the train. She would reach the train. Her compartment has
passed, but she can get up from some other. The train has picked up speed. She runs at full speed, totally
focussed on to an open door. So focussed on the door that she does not see something coming in her way.
Woman (OC) Arey, arey, arey…
Geet collides and falls and screams. She has hit against a fat, middle-aged woman carrying a
basket of tomatoes. The woman is on the floor now, tomatoes are rolling in all directions.
Woman Arey, dekho to… Dekho kya kar diya…
Geet orients herself, tries to get up, squishes a tomato and slips. The woman catches her.
Woman Bhaag rahi hai, iska harjaana kaun bharega?

Geet Arey chhodo train ja rahi hai
Geet frees herself and moves away, s@uishing some more tomatoes. The train is bounding away.
She screams after the train at the to# of her voice as she lim#s forward with all her might.
Geet *screaming+ Roko Train ko roko. Arey koi chain kheencho. Roko train ko Arey
The train #icks u# s#eed and goes away. She runs to a sto# at the end of the #latform, looking at
the train in des#air. She turns around, #anting heavily. She can’t believe this is ha##ening to her. She
looks at the station. There is a signal boy, some vendors ready to slee# under blankets near their sho#s (
everyone looking at her in #ity. 12ce#t the woman who she had knocked down, who is collecting her
tomatoes and still abusing.
Woman *distant+ Arey itni moti aurat, itna bada tokra, kisi andhe ko bhi dikh jaaye aur ye #aagal 0ya

Geet is at a com#lete loss. She turns to look at the train again. She looks at the #latform again.

Aditya is still sitting on the bench, looking at her as she a##roaches. She charges in.
Geet /ou bloody weirdo. 0is duniya mein ho tum, haan< Meri train miss kara dee hai tumne. Mera

Ji haan. Main tumhein chhodne waali nahin hoon, koi doubt mat rakhna dil mein.
Sikhni hoon main Bhatinda ki.
Aditya is looking at her, figuring out the situation. Geet is looking back at Aditya boldly. He
looks towards the e2it of the station, looks back at her. He suddenly turns and runs.
Geet *screaming+ Arey Bhaag raha hai
She runs after him. He runs u# the foot-bridge and goes towards the e2it looking at the train
chugging away in the distance. She is following him with all her might.

Geet rushes and sits in the rear of the ta2i, understanding Aditya’s #lan to chase the train.
Geet Chalo, chalo, chalo.

Geet /e kya kar rahe ho tum< Aise train #akdenge hum<

Aditya rushes into the first #latform. He sees, sto#s to gain his breath. Geet rushes in. Sees that
the train is standing on the #latform, right in front of them. Aditya kee#s his hand on the A H Wheeler
stall and di#s his head. Geet sto#s too. She holds her waist and bends, gas#s for ma2imum breath.
Aditya Jao andar.
Geet Aur tum<
Aditya Dekho. Ab aur meri hel# mat karna. 9lease. A#ne kaam se
The driver rushes and collides into Aditya. Aditya almost falls down.
Driver *des#erate+ Mera #aisa #aisa do, mera #aisa baaki
hai. Aditya Abey ruk.
Aditya removes him at an arms length, takes out his wallet.
Geet comes u# as Aditya is taking money out of his wallet and giving to the driver.
Aditya Dekho kitna hai
Geet Change borrow kar sakti hoon 9aani lena hai.
Aditya gives her two tens. The driver is sneaking into the wallet. Aditya looks at him crossly.
Driver Aur hai na<
Geet Train mein return karti hoon
Geet walks out towards a stall. Meanwhile
Aditya *becoming 8C+ Tu chu#-chaa# khada reh, main de raha hoon #aise.
A ty#ical Railway 9latform stall selling small eats and soft drinks. Two vendors seen inside. The
one facing looks at Geet as she a##roaches and #uts the money on the deck. She is still e2hausted and
breathless.
Geet 9aani.
She #icks u# a bottle and o#ens it. The hawker begins to get change.
Geet *to vendor+ Saans band ho gayee by god. Cola shola sab a#ni jagah #ar hai #ar #aani ka kaam
#aani hi karta hai. 0ehte hain na ( best things in the world are free Vaise ab #aani
to free raha nahin 0itne ka hai<
Vendor (OC) (returning change) Chaudah rupiya
Geet (fight for right mode) Kyon? Railway ke daam to kam hote hain.
Vendor (OC) Yehi rate hai…
Geet Achcha? Consumer court se poochoon kya rate hai? Hain…? Ulloo banaate ho…?
Vendor Do rupiya ke liye itna jhik-jhik?
Geet Do rupaye kuch nahin hote to chori kyon kar rahe ho?
Vendor Chori…
Geet Aur kya? Aur kehte ho main jhik-jhik kar rahi hoon? Paise do vaapas.
The vendor looks at her crossly and makes to give two rupees back to her. Then she takes a gulp.
The vendor returns a coin and turns to fold up his shop. Geet picks up the change, takes another gulp of
water and turns. Suddenly, her heart stops. No, this can not be. We see that the train is rushing away. She
holds her head. There is no chance of catching the train. Then she brings her hands down. She gulps the
water. The train has almost left the station now. Suddenly, she starts running down the platform.
Geet (screaming) Roko… Train ko roko. Arey koi chain kheencho. Roko train ko… Arey…
But the train is long gone. Geet runs to a stop at the end of the platform, looking at the train. She
turns around, stung by disbelief. She just stands, looking straight. This is a much bigger station than the
other one. Many more hawkers, more people sleeping under blankets. She turns back to look at the train.
Turns again towards the platform. She holds her forehead with both hands and lowers to her haunches.

$latform, *atlam Station Master7s Office
A few men standing against the wall, looking the other way. Their look moves, Geet enters. They
are looking at her. She is in #anic. She sto#s and looks around for Aditya. She whim#ers, then turns
around.
The station masters office board is seen. She looks around once again, then walks into the office.
The men who were looking at her move u# to the door, #ee# inside. A few others join them. They are
whis#ering to each other about her.
Inside, Geet is standing in front of the table, very worried. The men #ee#ing inside can be seen at
a distance behind her. The station master is s#eaking.
Master *8C+ 0ota hai agla station. Main vahan ke station master ko inform kar doonga.
Master Vo aa#ka samaan rakh lenge.
Suddenly, at the door behind her, a young man is #ushed inside by the others. He hits against
something and recoils. Geet turns to look. There is su##ressed laughter. The young man darts out. Geet
turns back.
Master Aur to kuch nahin ho sakta hai.
Geet *mumbling+ Main vahan #ahunchoongi kaise< Shit.
Master *su#erior+ 0aun bola train se utarne<
She looks at him.
Master Hoshiyar rehna chahiye tha. Ab kya karogi<
He #lays #ercussion on the table with his fingers. As though he is ha##y that justice has been
done.
Master Javani ka josh. Samajhte nahin ho. Nahin. Bilkul nahin. Dekho
He holds two of his inde2 fingers #arallel to each other.
Master *continuing+ Eindagi rail ki #atri hai. 1k inch ka bend aur aage chal ke meelon ki doori. Ab
dekho. 1k choti si bhool tumhaari saari >indagi badal sakti hai.
He is enjoying this, feeling good to talk. He takes a more comfortable #osition and continues.
Master Meri bhi kayee train chhooti hai. 9ar un dinon main mard tha matlab ki mard hoon main, ab
bhi #ar tum ladki ho. Akeli ladki khuli hui tijori hoti hai. Tumko #ata hai kya ho

He makes a rectangle with his fingers.
Geet 12cuse me.
He looks at her.
Geet *#olite+ Aa#se #oochhna tha ( aa# jo ye sab bol rahe hain, iske #aise charge karte hai ya ye
muft ka gyaan hai<
Master *#u>>led+ Nahin ye to muft hai

Geet Good 0yonki chillad nahin hai mere #aas. Dekho Buddhe Bakwaas band karo
aur a#na kaam karo. 0ota ko message bhejo, baaki meri #roblem hai, main samhaal loongi. Chalo

The station master is taken aback. He #icks u# the #hone.

The #eo#le thronging the door withdraw and scatter. Geet comes out of the door. She looks at the
men. Then walks away.

Ratlam Station Platform
Geet sits on a bench. She holds her head. Someone comes and sits next to her. She looks. It is the
vendor who had sold her water.
Vendor Aapka paani.
The vendor is wearing a lungi now. He keeps one foot on the bench. The men hanging around
the door start moving up towards the bench now. Geet notices this. She looks at the vendor.
Vendor Bahut bura hua.
One of the men who were crowding around the door comes in from next to the vendor. The
others are slowly coming closer.
Man (to vendor) Ka baat hai bhai? Ka hua?
Vendor Train chhoot gayee bechari ki.
Man Arey arey.
Vendor Subah tak doosri koi train bhi nahin hai.
Man Dhat teri ki. Akeli hai?
Vendor Haan.
Man Tch tch tch tch. Ab ka karegi ye?
Vendor Vohi to. Tum to jaante ho. Akeli ladki khuli hui tijori ke jaisi hoti hai.
Geet (aggressively) Suno tum. Natak mat karo samkje? Phuto yahan se. Chalo.
Vendor Arey? Hum koi bam hain jo phoot jayenge? Samajhne ki koshish keejiye. Iske pahle ki koi apka
ghalat fayda utha le, hum soche ki hum help kar dete hain.
Man (to vendor) Raat ko yahan mat rehne dena. Thoda kasht hoga tumko magar kaheen le jao isko.
Vendor Haan aur koi upay bhi nahin hai.
Geet stands up and addresses them more aggressively.
Geet Zyada smart banne ki koshish mat karo, samjhe? Chalo niklo yahan se.
Vendor Hadd ho gayee. Matlab ki sarafat ka jamaana hi nahin raha.
Man Batao…
Vendor Hum aapko sahi jagah le ja rahe hai aur aap…
Geet Shut up. Chamaat maroongi aur bakwaas kee to.
Pause.
Man (to vendor) Kha le chamaat. Isi bahaane choo to legi kam se kam.
There is a guffaw in the people around. Geet looks at them. The vendor stands up.
Vendor Theek hai. Aa#ko isi mein khushi milti hai to maariye humein.
The vendor stands in front of her in the #osture to get sla##ed.
Vendor Armaan #oore kar leejiye aa#. Maariye.
The others are laughing. Geet stares in anger at the vendor and the others. Then she turns and
walks out.
Vendor 0ya hua< 0ahan chaleen< Arey maariye na Nahin hum to aaj chamaat kha ke hi rahenge.
She walks towards the e2it of the #latform as they laugh and follow her loosely.

Ratlam Station Façade
Geet walks out to the foyer of the station. She turns back to look for the urchins. She looks
towards the street. The ta2i driver is there, sitting in his ta2i and committing his ritual of touching the
notes to the feet of the deities, then his eyebrows then li#s then eyebrows then li#s. She runs towards him.
He sees her.
Geet Suno
The taxi driver panics on seeing her. As she comes down the stairs to him, the car starts and
flees. She looks at the car sourly.
Geet Shit.
She looks back towards the station. The vendor, the man and two others come out towards the
foyer, looking for her. She notices that a few women are standing to one side of the façade. She walks
towards them. She stands at a distance from them, feeling safer among her own gender, trying to conjure
up some sort of a plan. The women look at her. That's usual. She is new to this place. A motorbike comes
in, the driver looking shamelessly at the women. He crosses Geet. Then he stops, turns and comes back.
He stops in front of her.
Biker Chal.
Geet looks at him.
Biker Kya hua? Chal.
Geet looks at him in question.
Biker Ek aadmi — main. Full night, jagah meri.
She looks at the women who are standing there in cheap make-up. They are prostitutes. She turns
sharply to the biker.
Geet Nahin. Main…
Biker Kya?
Geet Main vo nahin hoon.
Biker Kya nahin hai?
Geet Vohi…
Biker Haan?
Geet turns and walks back towards the station.
Biker Arey yaar… tu bol na paisa main deta hoon. Nakhra kyon dikha rahi hai?
Geet sees the vendor and the other three standing in the foyer, with a panwalla. The man points
her out to the vendor. Geet stops at the steps. She turns and walks down the steps, the other way.
Biker (calling out) O Anarkali. Sun idhar aa.
Geet moves away quickly. The bike comes after her. Geet turns to look at the bike. She turns
back. She sees something, looks in surprise. It is the figure of a man walking away in the distance. She
makes to call, decides against it. The biker reaches her.
Biker Sun…
Geet walks away towards the man. The biker follows her on the bike.
Biker Kyon kasrat kara rahi hai raat ko? Paisa bol. Jo bhi hoga main doonga. Ruk ek minute… ruk…
Geet begins to run.
Biker Arey< /e kya natak kar rahi hai<
Geet rushes u# and overtakes the man and looks at him. It is Aditya. Aditya looks u# at her as
she suddenly a##ears before him. His jaw dro#s. And before he can say anything, she s#rings u# and
embraces him.
Geet Thank you babaji thank you. 8 god. Aaj #ata nahin kya hone waala tha. Thank God. Thank you
thank you thank you.
Meanwhile, Aditya does not know what the hell is ha##ening. The motorbike drives u#. Aditya
looks at the biker. Biker makes a face at Aditya and turns his bike, goes away.
Aditya 9hir se train miss kar dee< Haan< Aur ye joker kaun hai bike #e<
She #arts from him.
Geet *e2tends her hand+ Hi. Mera naam Geet hai.

Song # 1
Aditya begins to hum something. Geet and he are s#rawled out in the bus stand in Ratlam. Geet
looks at him. He looks at her, begins to sing the line. There is thin music accom#animent. He gets u# to
sit and sings.
Music thickens with the the sun rising in Ratlam. The bus is travelling on the state highway and
Aditya is singing the song.
The song is about travel. Aditya is going with the flow. He does not know where he will end u#
but he wants to kee# going.
This is the song of a man coming out from the shackles of his life and moving into freedom. Geet
is the catalyst for this change.
In the song, Aditya is getting infected by her bright s#irit. He is even co#ying her subconsciously.
His body language changes in the song.
After the bus, Aditya is singing as he walks down a street in 0ota with Geet.
In the music interlude, we see that Aditya withdraws cash from an ATM. Then they take Geet’s
luggage from the station and kee# it in the cab he has hired. Aditya is wearing new clothes.
The car is on the highway now. Aditya and Geet are slee#ing in the back seat.
Geet is seen drawing water from a hand-#um# on the way. Both s#lash water on themselves.
The car drives through a #rocession of camels.

Aditya Hold on. Tumse nahin poocha jayega? Aise hi shaadi ho

Geet Ye jo Khosla hain, hamaare bade puraane family friends hain. Manjeet aur main bachpan se
saath rahe hain. Sab kehte the ki ye dono bade honge to inki shaadi kara denge. Mujhe
bada mazaa aata tha ye soch kar ki meri shaadi hogi Manjeet ke saath. Ghar- ghar
khelne mein main kabhi Roop ko Manjeet ki wife nahin banne deti thi. Aath saal ki
umar mein Manjeet aur main haath pakad kar is ped ke neech khade hote the — ke ji us
khet ke pare hum apna ghar banaenge. Phir main badi ho gayee, aur is Manjeet episode

serious hain. Sab serious hain. Aur meri band baj gayee.

Song # 5
Geet waves from a distance and runs down into the open cafeteria. Anshuman stands and walks
up, decided to turn her away. Geet reaches him, bustling with excitement. We are seeing her as he begins
to talk and scold her. Her happiness begins to fade away. The lyrics of the song begin. She stares at
Anshuman as her face changes to disbelief. She is stunned for a while, then she speaks. She is cut short.
Tears come to her eyes. She begins to plead. She is asked to go away. She pleads some more. Anshuman
walks away. She stands there for a while, tears flowing down her cheek. Then she slowly turns and walks
back the way she had come. She climbs up the steps.
She is sitting on a bench at the place where Aditya had dropped her.
Evening time, she is seen walking up towards a hotel.
The next day, she is walking up a lane in Manali. She sees Anshuman walking up in her
direction. Her heart begins to beat aloud. She walks towards him. Anshuman is talking to another man.
He sees her as she comes close, then he just looks away and crosses her, walks away. Geet is hurt to
numbness. She stands there for a long time, cheek burning in shame. Then she walks back.
Geet walks out of the hotel with her bag, numb. She walks into a bus stand. She gets on a bus.
The bus is going to Shimla. She sits silently in the bus.
Shimla bus stand. She is sitting on the platform, her mind blank. A nun comes to her, having
recognized her. She used to teach the Geet at Jesus and Mary convent in Shimla. She talks to Geet, asks
what the problem is.
The nun walks Geet into a YWCA hostel.
Geet is moving into a room in the hostel.
The nun takes Geet to the Jesus and Mary convent. Geet enters the principal's room. Mother
superior takes Geet to the school library where she begins work as the librarian.
She calls Anshuman a few times. He cuts her off. And her life goes on in a lonely and miserable
manner. She is struggling to keep her hope alive. Hostel, school, some lonely corners of the city.
And one day, as she is walking up to school, we see that Aditya walks up in the distance, looking
at her. He has found her. But he does not go up to her immediately. He trails her at a distance for the day.
She looks like the ghost of the girl Aditya knew. He is so sensitive to her right now that if she stumbles a
bit while walking, he tends to leap out and hold her. But he does not do that. Finally, she walks up
towards her hostel. She sees Aditya sitting there.

Geet Good.

She nods with a smile.

Aditya Tumne mujhe bahut hurt kiya hai Geet.

Geet's face changes.
Aditya Tum mujhse keh nahin sakti thi? Ek phone nahin kar sakti thi?
He looks at her for a while as she looks down in discomfort.
Aditya Apna sab samaan lo, aur chalo. Come.
She does not move. He looks at her.
Geet Aditya. Tum chale jao.
Aditya Dekho. Main is waqt bahut ghusse mein hoon. Mujhe aur ghussa mat dilao. Chalo.

sochna ki ab tumhaara chance hai, samjhe?
He is looking at her calmly.
Aditya Okay. Dhyaan mein rakhoonga. Ab chalo.
He holds her arm to take her away.
Geet (pleading) Tum kyon kar rahe ho ye sab? Haan?
Aditya Tumko vajah batana zaroori nahin hai. Apna samaan le kar aayo tum.
Geet Nahin Aditya. Main tumse aur ehsaan nahin le sakti. Tumne pehle hi bahut kuch kiya hua mere

Aditya Maine bahut kuch kiya hai tumhaare liye? Maine bahut kuch kiya hai?
He pauses, looking at her.
Aditya Main aaj zinda tumhaari vajah se hoon, you fool. Ye jo aaj main tumhaare saamne khada hoon,

that. Is it so sim#le< How can I forget and forgive him so easily< Don’t forgive him, he says. Trouble him.
Take your revenge. /ou have your lifetime to do that. She looks at him. /ou know Geet, he says. My
#arents did not love each other. They loved other #eo#le. And my entire life I have suffered because of
that. They were great together in the office, but home was hell. They should have just followed their
hearts and sooner or later everything would have sorted out, isn’t it< Geet is looking at him. This man has
caused you #ain, Aditya continues. He took too much time, you suffered, so #unish him as you see fit. But
don’t turn him away. That will be a mistake. I can’t believe, Geet says, that you are arguing his case.
Aditya smiles, he touches her head. I am arguing your case too Geet, he says. Both your cases are the
same. It’s sim#le ( you love each other so you need to be together. That’s how everyone will be ha##y.
She is looking at him. And you, she asks. What about you< Well, he says. /ou have your first e2tra-
marital affair with me, then I’ll be ha##y too. She smiles. He smiles. The smiles fade away. No Aditya,
she says. I can’t do this. Follow your heart Geet, he says. 1verything will sort out. 9ause. He e2tends
his hand. Music of Song M 6 begins. Geet gives him her hand. She is looking at him. He smiles at her.

Aditya turns and takes Geet out of the room, holding her hand. He crosses the hall and walks into
the terrace. Anshuman turns and looks at them, gets u#. Aditya brings Geet to him. Anshuman is looking
at her. Geet is looking down. She looks at Aditya. Aditya smiles, withdraws. He goes out of the terrace,
back into the room. He stands against the wall.
1arly morning in the mountains. Two cars are driving down. Aditya is driving the one in front.
Anshuman is sitting ne2t to him. Geet is in the rear seat. She is looking at Aditya. Aditya notices her. He
smiles at her in the rear view mirror. The journey continues. The car a##roaches the house at Bhatinda,

Bhatinda House – Drive, Façade, Courtyard, Hall
The gardener runs u# to o#en the gate. He is very ha##y, is trying to #eer inside the car. Aditya
looks at Geet in the rear- view mirror. She is very nervous. Anshuman is looking out of the window at the
house. All the best, Aditya tells Geet. They are here, they are here, Amrik shouts as he runs inside after
seeing them. Aditya drives inside. He sees that the #orch is decorated with flowers. 9eo#le s#ill out into
the verandah from inside. It is a huge gathering. A#art from the family, there seem to be relatives, friends
( all wearing good clothes, in celebration mode. Geet’s brothers are there. They herd the car into the
courtyard. Geet is sitting in the rear, tears coming to her eyes. Anshuman is sur#rised by the ambience.
What's happening here, Anshuman asks. Their girl is coming back after nine months, Aditya says. The
car stops in the courtyard. The gathering moves towards the car. Aditya looks at Geet. Anshuman is
looking around in surprise. Roop rushes to the door and pulls Geet out. She embraces Geet, sobbing.
Geet's mother comes to her, embraces her. Geet is sobbing too. The swarm of people envelope Geet.
Everyone hugs her, everyone kisses her, everyone asks her not to cry as she is moved up the stairs into the
verandah. Angry uncle comes towards Aditya. He opens his door and brings him out. He has tears in his
eyes. He embraces Aditya. Thank you, he is saying. Thank you son. I had not believed you when you said
you will get her. But you did. We will never forget this. He takes Aditya's hand and brings him to the
veranda. Aditya meets Geet's father. Roop rushes in with a flower garland and puts it around Aditya's
neck. Kyon jijaji, she says. Aditya looks up sharply at Roop. He looks around at everyone. The situation
hits him. He looks towards Geet. Geet is with her mother and others. They are wiping her tears. Roop
turns Aditya's face to herself. What happened, she says. Can't take your eyes off her, haan? She pulls
Geet next to him. Happy now, she asks. Geet is looking at Roop in question. Arey Roop tu hat, Sexy Aunt
says. Let us see them together. A swarm of ladies with expectant eyes moves into position to see Aditya
and Geet together. How nice they look together, the older ones say. Made for each other. Some people
start circling money around their heads to protect from any ‘nazar'. It dawns upon Geet. She is frozen.
She looks at Aditya. Aditya looks at her. They stand there, stumped. Aditya looks towards Anshuman.
Anshuman is still in the car. He is gaping at what is happening. Angry chacha follows Aditya's look.
Arey, get that boy also, he orders. Geet's younger brothers run towards Anshuman, opens the door of the
car. He is your friend, chacha asks Aditya. Aditya looks at him, nods. The boys run Anshuman up the
steps of the porch. Come beta, welcome, says angry chacha. Anshuman just looks at him. Then he looks
at Geet and Aditya. By now, Geet's mother had made her way in front of Geet and Aditya with a thali of
sweets. She picks up a sweet and makes Aditya take a bite. Then she brings the remainder of the sweet
to Geet's mouth. Love increases by eating ‘jootha', she says. Aditya looks at Anshuman. The sweet is in
front of Geet's face. Mother puts it into her mouth. Anshuman does not know what the bloody hell is
happening out here. His hands are in the question mark positions. Aditya is looking at him. But Geet's
mother kisses him on the forehead. He looks at Geet. He gets his mouth close to her ear. Tell them fast,
Aditya is saying. Yes, Geet says. Ae, kya ho raha hai, Roop and the other saalis scream. Aditya looks at
Roop, smiles. Ma, Geet turns to her mother and says. Come in, mother says. Come. Aditya and Geet are
taken into the hall. And it's not a simple going in — it's the ritual of entering house. Enter together,
mother is saying. They make to step in through the threshold. Not like this, Roop says. You had gone
holding hands. So you will have to hold hands as you enter. Anshuman is looking at Roop, now he
looks at Geet and Aditya. Aaj badi sharam aa rahi hai, Roop says to Aditya and Geet and makes them
hold hands. Geet looks at Aditya, as though apologizing. He knows that she needs support at this time.
They step in together. There is massive clapping and rejoicing. Geet is still clutching Aditya's hand.
Anshuman comes in. Aditya makes to release his hand. Geet realizes that she has to let go. She turns to
her mother.
Ma I have to talk to you, she says. Come… First meet Darji, mother says, then there is a long booking
with all the relatives and friends. Come, she says. Roop, take them. Aditya and Geet are taken away.
Mother looks at Anshuman. You also come bete, she tells Anshuman. Anshuman's face is blank. He nods.

Old sikh. Sitting on his easy chair. Geet and Aditya are made to stand in front of him. Anshuman
is brought to stand at a distance. Geet bows and wishes him. Aditya is prompted to touch his feet. He
comes forward. One minute, says old sikh. Aditya stops. Old sikh looks at Geet and Aditya. He looks
carefully. The very first time I saw him, I had understood, he says to Geet. At my age one glance tells you
what is happening between a girl and a boy. Aditya looks at Anshuman. Anshuman is trying to follow
what old sikh is saying. Old sikh continues to Geet — I asked you. But you lied to me. And it must have
been your idea to run away, wasn't it? Wasn't it? Geet nods. See, he tells the others. I knew it… She is the
naughty one between the two. Anyway, I have heard that the world has moved ahead and times have
become very modern. 1veryone wants to acce#t both of you and I will agree with them. But remember (

Angry chacha indicates Aditya to touch old sikh’s feet. Aditya touches his feet. 8ld sikh catches Aditya’s
shoulder. Aditya is caught in mid #osition. Handle her with care, old sikh says. Aditya nods. She is the
naughtiest one in the family. She has troubled us a lot. She will not s#are you too. If she does some hanky-

Anshuman clicks. Geet's mother and father come in. Achcha all this later, mother announces busily. The
kids run away, snatching the camera from Anshuman. Father takes Aditya's hand. Come beta… I want
you to meet everyone. Aditya looks at Geet. Geet nods slightly as Aditya goes away. She turns to her
mother. Let's go inside ma, Geet tells her, I have to… Mother is looking at Anshuman. He is coming in
everyone's way. Ma listen, Geet says. Beta, mother says to Anshuman, why don't you go and freshen up,
she tells him. No, I am fresh, Anshuman says. Arey you have had such a long journey, mother says.
Samar, take him to the room… give him towel and soap… Go beta… Anshuman is making slight protests
but the two brothers catch him and rush him down the corridor… Aao ji, aao ji… He is turning back to
look at Geet, but soon he is gone.
All the relatives are in the courtyard. Geet's father is introducing Aditya to each one of them.
Aur ye Arjan Singhji hain, her father is telling Aditya. Patiale mein rehte hain. Mujhse ek saal chhote
hain par hote chacha hain… Aditya wishes him. To ye kya bolega mujhe, dadaji, Arjansingh asks in jest.
Aditya laughs, looks towards Geet. Geet is broght to sit on the diwn by the other women. Geet looks at
him. Aditya raises his eyebrows to her. She turns to her mother. Ma, she says. Yes beta, ma says. We have
to talk. There is so much to talk about. Nine months. But tell me — you are fine na? Yes ma, Geet says. I
am absolutely fine. Aditya treats you well, ma asks. Geet looks at her mother. What, mother asks in
concern. He treats me well, Geet says plainly. Is there something wrong, mother asks, her concern
growing. He behaves badly with you? Ma, Geet says. He treats me like even you have never treated me.
Mother hugs Geet in relief and happiness. He really loves you na beta, ma asks. Yes ma, Geet says. That's
not the thing. Mother is looking at Geet. Let's go inside, Geet says. Yeah come, mother says. But in the
mean time, Roop and the other girls come to Aditya and grab him. Meet us also jijaji, Roop says, pulling
him to where Geet and the other women are. Roop continues — and tell me why you betrayed me. She
seats Aditya next to Geet. Mother looks at all this with a smile. You had to run away with me, Roop
continues, and you ran away with my sister instead? How could you do this to me? Tell me. All the girls
are giggling. I could not make out in the dark, Aditya says. I thought it was you… but in the morning I
discovered that it was Geet. All the girls titter. Such bad luck, Roop says. And who is the sample you have
brought along? Who, Aditya asks. Your friend, Roop says. He is my compensation package or what…?
Aditya can not help but laugh. He looks at Geet. He shakes his head. Geet takes her mom's hand and
makes to get up. Geet's father comes up. Move, let me also sit, he says. He sits next to Aditya. Beta, he
addresses Aditya. We want to have a small marriage ceremony at the Gurudwara, with our customs. See
your marriage has happened, but this is just for our satisfaction… and to properly introduce you to our
community. Aditya looks at Geet. Geet looks at him. Don't look at her, father says. Tell me honestly. We
won't do it if you have a problem. Geet turns and walks away, surrounded by many aunts and cousins. I
have no problem, Aditya says. Very good, mother says, turns and goes after Geet. We will have the
ceremony as soon as possible, father says. Please call your people also, chacha says. Yes, father says, they
must come. Yes, Aditya says. Very good, father says and gets up. Aditya looks down.

Aditya walks into the guest room. Anshuman is there, wrapped in a towel. What is happening, he
asks, hands outstretched. Big confusion, Aditya says. Nobody had thought of this. But don't worry. Geet
should be talking to her mother soon. Arey she should have told them right at the outset, Anshuman says.
None of this would have happened. How strange… They are doing all the ceremonies with you and
forcing me to have a bath… Where is Geet, I will talk to her. She is surrounded by people, Aditya says. So
I will take her away from them and talk, Anshuman says. But Anshuman people here think you are my
friend, Aditya says. If you take Geet away like that, what will everyone think? Yeah, Anshuman agrees.
Then — Arey, he exclaims. What will they think? Let them think — that is the truth, no? She and I is the
couple. That's what we want to tell them. Yes, but let her handle it, Aditya tells Anshuman. Let her break
the news in the best way possible, so that there is no embarrassment in front of all these people.
Anshuman ponders. Then he speaks in agitation. These boys bloody… they want to take me to see the
sugarcane plantations… Why should I see sugarcane plantations man…? What's the big deal about
sugarcanes? I don't want to see sugarcanes. Okay okay, says Aditya. So don't go. Don't get hassled,
Anshuman… It's just a matter of a little time. Anshuman turns away. Aditya turns the other way and

Geet says. The way you people are thinking, it's not like that. Like what, mother asks. See, Geet says. I
brought Aditya here nine months back… and then, that night, I went away with him… So you think that
he is the one who made me run away… so that he and I could get married… No, mother cuts her. We
think nothing of that sort. Geet is surprised. We used to, mother says. We were all very hurt, very angry
with him… and also with you… But no longer… Believe me… the affection that you see for him is not
false… All of us love him. In fact, all the complaints that we had with you are cancelled because of the
boy you chose. Truly, he is a gem. Mother is looking at Geet. Geet is getting confused. Kya baat hai,
mother asks. Itni tension mein kyon hai? Ma, I will just lie down for some time, Geet says. Yes do that,
ma says. You must be tired. Geet lies down, more tense than ever. Because talks will never end, mother
continues. You have to tell me about his house, who all stay there, his family. Everything. Geet closes her

Geet tiptoes up the corridor. It is late. The serial lights are seen in the terrace. The lights in some
rooms are on and voices of laughter are intermittently heard. Geet reaches the guest room and knocks
lightly at the door. The door is open. She steps in. Aditya is walking towards the door. Geet comes inside
and shuts the door. Told them, Aditya asks. Geet looks at him. No, Geet says, tense. Why Geet, Aditya
asks. What's the problem? I don't know, Geet says. I don't know. Maybe just too many things have
happened in the last twenty-four hours. My mind is all jammed. Anyway, good you came, Aditya says.
Anshuman is desperate to meet you… Geet sees that Anshuman is sleeping on the bed. Aditya moves to
wake him up. I could have told ma, or papa, she says. Aditya stops. I got the chances, she continues, but I
felt this fear. As though I am losing something. You think they will be upset if you told them, Aditya asks.
I am not thinking of them at all, Geet says. I am thinking about myself. I don't know what I really want.
She looks at Aditya. I have put you in a mess, haven't I, she asks. Don't play the nice, sensitive girl on
me, he says. Be the brat that you are — that's suits you better. Geet smiles. Any case, he continues, I have
to leave in the morning. Geet's face changes. You are going, she asks. Suddenly, there is loud knocking
on the door. Geet, Roop's voice is heard along with the titter of other girls. Anshuman wakes with a start.
I am coming in, Roop is saying. What's happening, Anshuman asks. Roop has entered with two other
girls. What is happening here, Roop demands with mock athourity. Roop one minute, Geet says. Let us
talk. Roop comes and holds Geet to take her away. Mother said no, she is saying to Aditya, no together at
nights before Anand karaj? Someone has kept the right name for your types, Aditya says. You deserve to
be called saali. You have ditched me jijaji, Roop says. I will torment you all your life now. Come Geet.
Roop looks at Anshuman. He gets up from the bed, looking at them in confusion. Oh, Roop says. He is
here too? Geet… in front of him? Shut up, says Geet. She looks at Aditya. Tomorrow morning outside,
like last time, Aditya says quickly. Roop raises objection, takes Geet away. Bye, jijaji, Roop says as she
closes the door. Have a good night with your friend. They giggle away. What's happening, Anshuman
asks. Geet had come to meet you, Aditya says. You can meet her early morning. Aditya goes to the
window. He sees Geet going into her room. He stands there, looking at her room. She appears at her
window and looks at him. He smiles. She smiles. They stand for a second. He indicates to her that she
should go to sleep. She indicates to him that he should go to sleep. He nods. Waves to her. She waves
back. He moves from the window. He takes support of the wall and stands. For a while. Then he switches

Behind Bhatinda House / Backyard
The sun rises in Punjab. The house is still asleep. Geet comes out of the back door, makes her
way to the tree where she had met Aditya nine months back. Aditya and Anshuman are sitting there.
Aditya gets up on seeing Geet and walks towards the house. Hi, he says as he crosses her. When are
you leaving, she asks. Soon, he says. They will not let you go, she says. This time I won't stop, he says.
He smiles, walks away. She looks at him go for a moment. Anshuman comes to her. Geet, he says. This
is completely absurd yaar… Why don't you tell them, what is the matter with you? She looks at him. It's
not at all complicated Geet, he says. All you have to do, he explains systematically, is to tell your
mother, or anyone… that yes you are in love, and you will get married… only not with Aditya, but with
Anshuman. Whatever the plan is can go on without a hitch, everyone can remain as happy as they are,
only Aditya has to be replaced by Anshuman. Simple. She looks at him. Once you tell them this, they
will ask a thousand questions — arey, howcome, this that… And you tell them the answers — How you
met me… How you were at the hostel in Bombay and how I used to come with my friend to meet his
girlfriend… Remember that evening… you were coming down the steps when you met me for the first
time… Tell them how we started going out without our friends… alone… How we used to sit on
Marine Drive for hours… Tell them about that evening, on the way back from Elephanta… How we
had stood on the
streamer. Anshuman goes on talking, but gradually, Geet sto#s hearing him. Anshuman’s mouth is
moving but there is no sound. Geet is staring at him, but not seeing him any more. Her mind is elsewhere.
Flash of the train. Geet sees Aditya for the first time. He is sitting on her seat, looking down.
Geet is standing in front of Anshuman outside her house in Bhatinda.
8utside Ratlam railway station. Geet hugs Aditya, relieved to have him there.
Geet #arts with Aditya in Manali.
Geet flings herself on Aditya after she had abused Anshuman on the #hone. He holds her and his
back comes against the wall. He holds her waist for balance, runs his hands on her sides, she lifts her face
to his chest.
Geet, in the #resent time, turns abru#tly and starts walking back to the house. Anshuman sto#s
his talk, sur#rised. Geet, he calls out. /ou are going right now< Geet does not re#ly, she moves away.
Wait, I’m coming too, he says, coming after her. Geet rushes, she runs. She enters the house, comes to the
backyard, rushes u#, looking around. She sees Aditya in the backyard. He is with Amrik, teaching him to
fire air-rifle. Geet rushes u# and reaches Aditya. Aditya looks at her. What ha##ened, Aditya asks. Geet is
tense, her breath is u#. What ha##ened, he asks again. Is he coming, Geet asks. Who, he asks. Anshuman,
she says. Is he coming< /es, he says. Is he looking this side, she asks. /es, Aditya says. Geet flings
herself on Aditya. She holds him and this time she is holding nothing back. Anshuman free>es on his
tracks. He sees Geet and Aditya. He is shocked. What is the meaning of this< But he is not as shocked as
Aditya. Aditya’s mind is racing, not coming to any result. Geet faces Aditya. The one favour you have
done for me, which I can never re#ay you for, is bringing Anshuman back, she tells Aditya. 8therwise I
would never have known what I truly feel. Aditya stares at her in disbelief. I am going to follow my heart
now Aditya, she says. And everything will sort out. She kisses him. He holds her and kisses her. He kisses
her with the anguish of all the times when he had sto##ed himself from kissing her. The kid is looking at
them with a wide grin as they kiss right in front of his eyes. Anshuman turns away, holds his head in
grievous bewilderment. Geet and Aditya stand together in the backyard. They will always be together
now. Nothing can se#arate them.
