[Sam... Another take on their convo from yesterdays ep... after they talk about protein ka dabba etc. This one has a monologue... and kept things the way they are to maintain status qua.]
“Waise” Virat said, “tumne mujhe jawab nahi diya”.
“Kiska?” Amruta asked with a mischievous smile, “Aur kya kya leke gayi hu aapke ghar se?”
“Nahi yaar” he said, “wahi jo maine dopahar ko poocha tha.”
“Kya?” she asked.
“Kya tumhe koi afsos hai?” he said.
She looked away and got visibly nervous.
“Dekho, tumne dopahar ko avoid kiya… ab matt karo” he said.
“Aai wait kar rahi hai” she said in a serious tone, “subah ke liye jo orders mile hai uski tayyari karni hai.”
“Haan, pata hai” he said, “aur ye bhi pata hai ki tumhari aai jo bhi tayyari karti hai woh dinner ke baad karti hai.. jiske liye ab time baaki hai”.
She kept quiet.
He picked up a water bottle from near him and offered it to her.
She looked at him, surprised.
“nahi, maine socha” he said, “tumm… paani ka bahana karo, uske pehle hi mein tumhe de du.”
She looked away. After a long pause she shook her head (in a no) and looking ahead “mein nahi jaanti Sir. Maine khud se bhi ye sawal bohot baar poocha hai. Bohot saare jawab, bohot saare angles bhi aaye... Par koi conclusion pe abhi tak nahi pohunchi hu.”
“Kyu?” he asked. [My note if this played out and I was updating ‘abe chupp baith na!!!’]
“Kya sochu Sir?” she said, “I don’t know.”
After a long pause, she continued “Bachpann me Aai mujhe Ramayan ki kahani sunati thi. Jab RamJi ko vanwas jaane ko kaha gaya tha to mein hairan ho gayi thi. Kyu sun rahe hein? Poocha bhi tha Aai ko… Aai ne kaha ki RamJi ne LakshmanJi se kaha ki jab itni saari baatein hoti hai jo hum jo soch rahe hein uske opposite hota hai to woh niyatti ke kaaran hi ho sakti hai. Destiny. Aur niyatti se ladna… us se achha hai ki hum woh dekhne ki koshish karein jo niyatti humein dikhana chahti hai.”
“Humare beech jo hua” she continued, “I hated it. Par tab Aai mujhe ye rishta nibhane ko keh rahi thi. Mein wapas aayi, ye sochke ki Babita Ma’am ne jo kiya woh aapke saamne laakar mein chali jaungi. Baba ko mein Ishika se bacha nahi payi. Socha ke kam se kam mein aapko Babita Ma’am ke iraade dikha du.. par phir…” and she kept quiet.
“Par phir?” he asked. [Me: yaar… isko sirf pyaar sun na tha…bass… Ammu you are wasting your time talking about Ramayan!!!. he might even ask who is Lakshman... his friend?]
“I don’t know.” she said… and went quiet.
She looked at him and continued “I don’t know mein aapko kya jawab doon…I dont know ki abhi tak maine jo bhi kaha woh koi sense karta hai bhi ya nahi... aapne kaha ki mein avoid kar rahi hu… haan… kyu ki mujhe pata nahi. Mere paas jawab nahi hai.”
After a long pause she continued “Aur behtar hoga ki abhi…abhi aap apne pe aaye huve is museebat se kaise nikle uske baare me sochein.”
Her phone rang… It was Aai. “Aai ka phone hai” she said, “jaana hoga”.
She got up and so did he. They picked up a bag each and left.
[Hopefully the two long monologues does convey the mess in her mind - partly organised, esp the destiny/ Ramayan ref... and partly messy... the next monolouge. She hasn't been able to process it well... is what I wanted to show there.]
