Akele Hum Akele Tum Page #3

...I'll get to sing all the songs

for the film. I'm recording tomorrow.

Want to come along?

- I said I'm leaving.

- Where are you going?

- Here are the keys to the house.

These are the rationing cards... and

here are the bills for the month.

I've paid all the bills.

You'll find the balance of

the money in the cupboard.

Here's the electricity bill. Make

sure you pay it up by the weekend.

I'm leaving you.

Wait a minute! What are

you saying? What's happened?

Have I done anything wrong? -

No, you haven't. - What's it then?

Tell me.

- Don't touch me!

Just let me go. - But why are

you leaving? Say something!

Why don't you understand!

It isn't just an

isolated something.

It might be my mistake too.

Something is happening to me.

- What's this with you?

I don't know! - It's nothing more

than a figment of your imagination.

Please, let me go.

I must make a life for myself.

But this and here,

is what your life is!

Else, I'll go out of my mind.

So you want to walk

out of this marriage.

But what of Sonu?

How can you walk out on him?

But, he's better off without me.

Oh God! I don't believe this!

Kiran! Why are you doing this to me?!

I've just got my golden chance. And

here you are... walking out on me!

I need you, Kiran. If you stand by

me, I can even reach for the stars.

But you had told me that we'd

reach out for the stars together.

D'you feel that I'm trying to

stop you from becoming a singer?

You might dream of

becoming a singer.

But don't expect me to go around

singing false praises for you.

Look, I am sorry.

I lost my head. I agree that

both of us have made mistakes.

But that doesn't mean that you must

walk out of your home. Isn't that so?

We can always mend our

ways. Now, come in.

Now you're being stubborn.

Just like your parents.

Don't drag my parents into this.

- Why not? You carry the same traits.

Now, are you going to

stop taunting my parents?!

Won't I! They haven't been able

to achieve anything in life.

And they're jealous of others.

And d'you think I'm jealous

of your success? - Yes!

Thank you very much.

I won't ever forget that.

I'd rather suffer my traits than

your taunts for the rest of my life.

Rohit...

Where has Kiran gone?

What I should be asking you?

- Why me?

She used to spend more than half

her working hours in your company.

And the two of you must've more

than discussed my weak points.

Forget all that.

Kiran has left you.

- We must do something about it.

- Not "we". It's I who has to do.

And I'll do whatever must be done.

Rohit.

You must try to understand it now

or never. Kiran is very unhappy.

- And the fact is that...

- Fact remains that of the past 6 years...

...I've been trying heart

and soul to get a break...

...so that my career can take

off; so that my life shapes up!

After 6 long years, I get a break.

I'm slated to sing for Amar-Kaushik!

I took a cab home as soon as I

got to know; so that I could...

...share the greatest

moment of my life with her.

And she tells me that she's

walking out of my life.

What does it mean?! - She couldn't

share the greatest moment of your life.

It's your life, after all.

- You're fantastic! Your fabulous.

That your husband deserted

you because you were unhappy...

...doesn't mean that every woman

is unhappy with her husband.

I haven't come here to discuss my

husband. I'm concerned about Kiran.

You may keep your concern within

your confines. - I shall.

Before I leave, let me tell you that

you could never understand Kiran.

She is no petty woman to serve

as a part of your interior decor.

She had her own dreams. And it takes

courage for a woman to walk out.

Yes!

And it takes more to walk out on

a helpless child. Isn't that so?

Daddy... daddy... daddy... daddy.

Why are you sleeping here? -

Oh... what? - And where's Mummy?

Ohh! God!

- Tell me... Where's Mummy?

- What's the time now?

The small hand is on 7.

And the big hand is on 3.

I'm going to be late

for the recording.

Tell me, Daddy... where's Mummy?

- Wait a minute.

- You mother has gone to your aunt's.

- Which aunt?

The one in Pune. - Aunt Ratna lives

there. - That's where she has gone.

- When is she going to come back?

- Very soon... in 3 or 4 days.

Now make a move.

I've got to get ready.

- Who's going to get me

ready for school? - I will, son.

- And, who'll pack my school bag?

- I will.

- Who'll take me to school?

- I will.

- What about my breakfast?

- I... what do you eat for breakfast?

An omelette of 2 eggs, toast

with butter and Bournvita.

A dash of coriander... and

onions. Ever had one of my omelets?

- No.

- Try it today. You'll love it.

- You're cutting them in such

large chunks! - That's just fine.

Isn't this fun! Yes, it's fun.

Now, take a look at this...

a circus with one hand...

two eggs in one hand!

Now take a look at how I

break both eggs using one hand.

The eggs had soft-shells.

But never mind.

This place is perfectly clean.

What are you doing? I'm

not going to eat that!

- It has shells in it. - A few

shells will make the omelette crisp.

- Here go the onions... and the

chilies. - Not that way! - How else?

Mummy used to flip

the ingredients first.

What Mummy doesn't know...

...is that an omelette is an

omelette, flip or flap!

Eat it and you'll know. Later

on, I'll drop you at the school.

And afterwards, I'm off to

record my first song ever!

Your Daddy is going to

become a famous singer.

- What's up? - The

toast is burning! - Oh no!

Well, never mind that.

You don't know a thing!

Go on in... hurry. Go inside.

- Who'll come to pick me up?

- I'll come.

Where are you going to wait for me?

I'll wait for you under this

tree, okay? Now go on inside.

- What if you don't turn up?

- I said I'll come. And, I will.

- What if you're late? - I won't

be late. I'll be here on time.

What if you're still late?

If I am, you can

wait under the tree.

Go on, now. Hurry.

- When does the school get over?

- No idea.

When does the junior

school get over?

- I'm that child's father.

- At 2 o'clock.

- I'm sorry to be late.

- Is this your idea of time?

You've turned a star even before

you've recorded a single song.

I got stuck in the traffic.

Never mind. Sit inside and get the lines.

We'll record the

orchestra in the meantime

- Give him his lines, will you?

- Let's have another take.

Come on for the break in your life.

- We can fit the 16 tracks on to 12.

- Very well. Let's try.

Let's have the rhythm.

Still waiting here? I'm afraid

we won't be recording you today.

- Sir?

- Increase the bass slightly.

- When will I record?

- After a couple of days perhaps.

Do keep calling to find out.

I'm late by only half-an-hour.

Must you be so upset?

- You said you'd be here on time.

- I did. But I was so busy.

- What if someone kidnapped me?

- But no one did?

What if someone did?

I've told ten times that I'm sorry.

You must forgive

someone who apologizes.
