Akele Hum Akele Tum Page #4

Do you know the meaning

of the word "sorry"?

What are you doing?

What's up?

This car run on batteries. It has a

horn. And, the headlights work too.

- So what?

- I'll forgive you if you buy me one.

What if I don't? Won't

you forgive me ever?

Had it been Mummy, she

would've got the car for me.

Ask your mother for one when she

comes back. Now, let's go. Come on.

- 250 grams of lentil... anything else?

- A packet of tea.

- The Red Label, or the Yellow?

- Yellow. - Not Yellow. The Red one.

- Why? - Because Mummy used

to buy the Red Label.

Give me red.

A pack of soap and coconut oil.

- Can I have a chocolate?

- Take these upstairs.

Forgive me for asking this...

but I heard something. Is it true?

I heard that your wife left your...

...no, I mean to say that

she didn't care for you.

She didn't care for the

child. Nor her status!

Let me have this package. - Here.

And I didn't like her either.

She used to have this temper.

Have I asked you what you

liked or disliked about my wife?

- No, I mean...

- Have I asked for your opinion?

I come here to buy groceries. Not

to listen to your useless banter.

- Do you understand?

- Understood. Here's your stuff.

That's worth 300. The balance last

month was 350, totaling 650 bucks.

- And I've stopped giving credit.

- I'm not asking for it.

Here's your money. 550... and I'm

sending 100 bucks for you right away.

That's the credit.

- Is that all right, Mr. Manohar?

- Yes. Let's record it.

Thank you, Mr. Sharma for letting

my friend sing in the chorus.

- She'll even sing a lead part

if you let her do it. - Of course.

Shall we proceed, Mr. Manohar?

Take a look at this!

A letter from Mummy.

A letter from Mummy! Here!

- I see... it's addressed to you.

- Oh yes! It is.

Read it, quickly. And tell

me when Mummy is coming home.

- Read it aloud.

- Oh, yes.

"My dear Sunil..."

"You must be wondering where your

Mummy has gone all of a sudden."

"Let me explain this... sometimes

your Daddy had to leave home."

"And then, it was Mummy

who looked after you."

"Sometimes, when mothers leave,

fathers have to look after children."

"Your Mummy wants to make a

career for herself, Sunil."

"That's why I had

to leave your home."

"I may not live with you anymore.

But, you'll remain in my heart."

"Don't ever think that

Mummy will forget you."

"I remain your Mummy always.

And I'll love you always."

"Take care of yourself.

And, on your

way back from school everyday..."

That was marvelous. Ms. Vandana.

And you must concentrate, Rohit.@

I want the right perspective

in your voice. - Yes, sir.

Don't sing in a stifled

voice. Open your voice up.

That's my file, Sir. It contains

the songs I have written.

Don't be afraid. We

won't steal your tunes.

No! I didn't mean that.

Let's proceed with another take.

Let's have a rehearsal without

the music accompaniment.

That's a lot of crap! Let's have

some real voice. Haven't you eaten?

- Go on... sing it.

- Yes, Sir.

Forget about turning a music

director and concentrate on singing.

- I'll ruin his happiness.

- Why! We have a composer!

- Go on.

- Yes, Sir.

Nonsense! Forget it.

Please sing his lines

for him, Ms. Vandana.

- Well done, Ms. Vandana. Excellent.

- Did you get an idea of the tune?

- That's what I've been singing.

- Sing it properly! - Yes, Sir.

What are you doing! You're out

of tune! What are you up to?!

- Please let me finish my lines.

- Shut up!

- If you interrupt, you

can't appreciate the singing.

- Shut up!

- Please listen to me.

Bloody fool! Who

d'you think you are?

Stay within your limits! Else

I'll throw you out of here.

And, I'll banish you

forever from filmdom.

Will a singer in a night club to

teach me how to compose music?!

- Yes. I can.

- What! What was it you said?!

Oh yes! I'll teach you how

to score music right away.

That is, if you may

dare to listen to me.

Isn't this how you've composed it?

Isn't that your song?

Now listen to this.

Please play along with me.

What are you up to, Sunil?

Be quiet and eat your food.

Pick up your spoon.

Go on. Eat.

It's yucky.

It's bell plant and it's very

good for you. Go on, eat it.

- I don't like bell plants. - You do.

Aunt Farida has cooked it for you.

And you've eaten it earlier.

- What's all this black stuff in this?

- Onions. Now eat it.

- Onions give me stomachaches.

- Not at all.

And now start with the bread.

- It's Yucky.

- You mustn't call food "yucky".

Don't spit on your plate.

Where are your manners?

Go on. Eat it now. There...

I've removed the onions.

There's this chocolate ice-cream

you've brought. It's in the fridge.

Yes I know about the ice cream.

But, you won't get any of it.

You must finish your food first.

Only afterwards you may eat it.

Sunil! Where are you going?

Don't you open the fridge!

Now don't take the

ice-cream out of the fridge.

Can't you hear me? I'm getting

very angry with this now.

Don't take the ice cream.

I'm warning you, Sunil.

I'm warning you. Don't you

dare eat that ice cream.

Eat the ice-cream and you'll face

dire consequences. D'you understand?

Now! And let go of the chair.

You unmannered boy!

And stop screaming.

- I want to got to Mummy!

- Enough of it.

No food for you. Nor any ice

cream. You can go to sleep hungry.

I hate you. I won't

talk to you ever again.

Will you leave me and go away too?

Never.

But Mummy left me and went away.

That's because I'm a bad boy.

Is that what you think?

That isn't true.

Mummy loves you.

She didn't leave because of you.

She left because I

couldn't understand her.

I wanted her to do what all other

mothers do all their lives...

...tending the family

and doing household chores.

But she wanted to

do something else.

And she tried to reason with me.

But I was too involved

with my life and myself.

And do you know why she

stayed back so long with us?

That's because she loved you, son.

She didn't leave us because of you.

She left because of me.

Now, go to sleep.

Let's start a new

life from tomorrow...

you and me.

- Let's have another ride. - No.

I'm tired. Go on. Play by yourself.

You've changed so

completely, Rohit.

I only wish Kiran should've

seen you in these spirits.

- Don't talk about Kiran.

- Very well.

- Tell me the truth... don't you

ever think about her? - Not at all.

Look at me, Daddy!

- Don't do that, Sunil.

- No! It's my turn now!

Don't you think about your husband?

His case was quite different.

He had started having an affair.

Really? I had no idea. Who was it?

He had this girl in his office.

And my Romeo wanted

to bring her home.

What nonsense!

Look at me now, Daddy! I'm

coming down standing up!

- No, Sonu. What are you up to?

Get down. - I'll get him down.

What happened afterwards?

I told him he was free to do what he liked.

But I wouldn't let go of the

house. It's for my children and me.

- No! Sonu!

- Watch your step, Sonu!

What's happened, Sonu?!
