heeriye

Well–a play is still a script? But anyways–that’s why I stayed with you today, to spend some time while Ma and Pri hang out with Papa. He’s getting released tomorrow and he’s demanding you spend time with him since you’ve been avoiding the hospital. Yes, he’s noticed too.

i have not been avoiding the hospital. i’ve just been giving arjun uncle and the singhania family to bond.

But…lately you’ve always got your nose in that script.

What’s it about anyways, especially if it’s THAT interesting. 

it’s not a script singhania, it’s a play. believe it or not people actually LIKE to read books for leisure. besides you’re always at the hospital with arjun uncle, i have to amuse myself somehow.

Diya, kuch risky nahi hai..tu ek baar try toh kar na?

Well…obviously you’re not going to have said it like that. Itna bhi bewakoof nahi hoon main. But since it’s so commercial–it’s how it goes now? That’s why in some of your other films–those guys were all walking around half naked around you.

veer, i DON’T want to talk about this. 

not always, some commercial films don’t require the hero to be shirtless. we only do it when we know he has a gaggle of screaming fangirls - like you do.

Aye–you could do it too, you know this.

Are you–you’re seriously challenging me to a run? Right now? Because I’ve been having to train for this film like crazy–all these apparent bare bodied shots which now–I’m beginning to think you had him add…

i’m happy being the moneymaker between us two, i mean somebody has to make sure we’re financially stable while you take all these RISKS with your career.

oh totally, can you imagine that conversation ? ‘hi arjun uncle, i want your son to be shirtless as often as he can in this film because it turns me on.’ not exactly dinner table conversation

Depends which country you’re in. Had to do my research for that last Kashyap film.

Hey! Not cool, aur waise bhi--I’ve done all that already no? So don’t think I’m running anywhere.

haan haan, Mr. Serious Actor and whatnot

you know you won’t get far if you ran - i could outrun you any day.

Uh..you wouldn’t be a widow if I went to jail, only if I die–which I mean c’mon, I could live it out in jail, maybe not well, but still.

However, being my widow means you’re planning on marrying me hmm? 

TECHNICALITIES ! i mean if you went to jail for killing somebody, i thought the sentence was twenty years to life ? 

why ? were you planning on a wine, dine, sixty nine and then run scam on me ?

Pacify mat kar yaa, I know I’m pretty weak, I mean muscles aren’t–going to help when it comes down to it. It’s okay. I don’t plan on going to jail for a very very long time…actually, hopefully–NEVER.

good, i don’t plan on being a widow so soon either. i mean me ? in white clothes ? i’d look like some white witch from some horror movie, rather than a graceful widow.

Okay let’s not talk about stabbings–it’s freaking me out a little.

Hey, that’s so not–okay fine. I’m weak, we know.

acha i’m sorry, now c’mere.

OR I could’ve been taken in for questioning. I mean main hospital mein se nikla tha–maybe I was the one who got stabbed?

Hey…I am not soft, I’m sure I could handle it..maybe?

You’re a lifesaver, because dealing with him–as much as I love him can be a nightmare sometimes. Yes, I just need to be updated on everything too.

Okay perfect, I promise I’ll be better today.

honestly just be grateful it was halloween. varna, you stepping outside of a hospital looking like somebody had dropped a gallon of blood on you ? they would have put you behind bars.

Main kaafi brilliant hoon–kabhi kabhi. But tell me na, I need to check my messages. Anand must’ve been trying to reach me. My manager doesn’t do well if he can’t actually manage me.

I am taking it easy, main kahaan kuch extreme kar raha hoon. I just want to see him..you know I need to. I promise we’ll come back whenever you think I need to.

i’ve already handled all that, anand has been pacified and he is reassured that you are in good hands while you recuperate from this family tragedy. i’ll give you your phone in the cab to the hospital. theek hai ?

Pri hasn’t even called me to–actually wait, tune mera phone kahan chupaya hai?

He’s not going to do that. He knows how worried–I just, I need to see him with my own eyes you know? Mujhe pata hai tera bhi aisa hi hai..but you’re controlling it because of me.

... tujhe kaise pata chala ? and i hid it somewhere you would never look.

I’m not making fun of you rambling. Tujhe toh pata hona chaiye how much I love it when you do.

Oh..so I’m guessing Ma and Pri will be with him then, I guess that’s..okay too.

come on yaa, don’t give me that sad face. we can go to to the hospital - i’m sure pri wants to see you. and then you can be first in line to see your papa.

and then HE can rap on you for your sadi hui shakal.

No, I just–hospital jaana hai na? Ma ka phone aaya tha but I just–I need to get my clothes and I–

I really am rambling like you, aren’t I?

OYE, ek thappad maaroongi na you won’t even have any teeth to ramble like me, let alone make fun of it.

and i know, pallavi aunty called me also. she said arjun uncle woke up, but they’re not letting more than one person in to see him yet. they say his heart is still too excitable.
