A heartfelt conversation from one heart to another ...
Pool Scene
While Arnav is in deep thought a voice from behind dares to speak ...
VOICE (calm and composed): Arnav, tum kya chahate ho?
ARNAV (thinks the voice sounds like his mother's and responds without thinking): Khushi
VOICE (acknowledges): Khushi Kumari Gupta!
ARNAV (all wide eyed and bushy tail): what the?!?! Who are you?
VOICE (gently): Tumhari parchayi, your voice, your thought, your soul ...the real you!! I am still waiting; you are still to answer - Khushi Kumari Gupta you mean?
ARNAV (puzzled): NO, Khushi as in happiness
VOICE (doubts): Kisski khushi?
ARNAV(fumbles): Umm, Anjali Di ki khushi
VOICE (questions): Aur tumhari Khushi?
ARNAV (gets irritable): Shut up
Silence
ARNAV (impatient): Are you still there?
VOICE (exhibiting blissfulness): I am always here
ARNAV (disturbed): Then why aren't you saying anything dammit!
VOICE (smirks): I didn't realize shut up has a different meaning in your world? For a change try speaking your heart maybe your mouth wont taste as nasty as you would want it to be!
ARNAV (squints): what do you mean?
VOICE (rephrases): Umm, let me try this in hindi - tumhare dil ki baat kyu tumhari zubha ko choo nahi paati ' tumhari dil ki khushi kahan hai kissme hai ..
ARNAV (aghast! at being caught): Khushi Kumari Gupta?
VOICE: NO khushi as in happiness ... but nevertheless your heart did speak
ARNAV( restless): Get lost!
Silence.
Arnav gets fidgety.
VOICE (reassuring): I am still here. So finally the lady of your dreams has entered your life. Your every breath, your every thought is a gift from her to you. You're melting like a shadow '
ARNAV (furious): how dare she!! how dare she enter my life without my permission; how dare she talk to me like that; how dare she say I am wrong; how dare she shake the walls of my impenetrable world; how dare she make me go weak!!!
VOICE (butts in): How dare Khushi Kumari Gupta make THE ARNAV SINGH RAIZADA fall in LO..
ARNAV (barges in): Who the hell does she think she is? I will never let this happen ' she will have to suffer
VOICE (sarcastic): And you shall suffer seeing her suffer?
ARNAV (egoistic): I don't care. Mujhe koi faraq nahi padta ' I always have and always will write my own destiny
VOICE (indisputably): But you are forgetting she is your destiny. Why do you always need a facade? When you are with her you torment her ... don't you realize her tears are bleeding you dry ... and in her absence you are always carrying a torch for her ... for her golden smile means the world to you ... even if it means showering her with your silver coins quite literally ... you relish her smile don't you?
Arnav is dizzy the voice is sending shivers down his spine.
VOICE (steady and to the point): She is pure oxygen to you!! Pahele aapne aap se toh pooch har dehko ' Kya tumhe koi faraq padta hai?? Kya tum kabhi bhi iss PYAR ko koi naam de paoge?
ARNAV(astonished): PYAR???
"Mein Tera sarmaya hoon ...
Jo bhi mein ban paya hoon ...
Tumse hi tumse hi ...
Raste miljate hai ...
Manzile miljati hai ...
Tumse hi tumse hi"
I would love to hear anything anyone would like to add - so go right ahead and do so!
Thanks.
