Break Ke Baad Page #3

Dad cheated on you, ma!

And what did you do?

Lied to me, as usual.

For what, Aunty?

A silly course. A year long course.

Stop whining!

Telling you late is not lying!

Shes no saint but

shes independent.

So let her be. Why

does it bother you?

Why cook for an army over this?

Aaliya is independent, adventurous..

.. wants to experience everything.

And I love that about her.

But thats whats

throwing me out of her life.

And shes okay with that.

Whats wrong with that?

I want to travel. See the world.

Live on my own, free as a bird.

Are we threatening your freedom?

Buddy boy, go or not..

If shes even thinking about going..

.. one things for sure.

Are you breaking up with him?

She wants to act!

And Acting is the most

popular course of that college.

Im sure you noticed that.

This is just an

excuse to get out of here.

When Aaliya was six..

.. she convinced her teacher

that she couldnt do homework

As her actress mom

couldnt pack her lunch-box..

.. and Aaliya had to do

all her chores herself.

Just to escape homework!

You know what?

If I was Aaliyas teacher..

.. Id have bought

the story as well.

Aaliya is that good.

These small lies are just a

rehearsal to become an actress.

She thinks its fun.

Who knows what she

might do in Australia?

She hasnt seen the real,

ugly side of this world..

.. which I have.

I was married to it.

There are all sorts of

people in this world..

.. notjust ones like Als dad.

She will make mistakes.

And she has a right to.

How else will your

stubborn daughter learn?

The blemish is inside, not on it.

Let it be.

Thats what makes it unique!

Aunty has one condition.

Only Communications. No acting.

Al. Im doing a boring

job in my dads office..

But Im not lying to myself.

I know. Im sorry.

But..

- I know.

I dont want to lose myself either.

Take a risk, Gulati.

Youre the smartest guy I know.

If you stay so safe..

- You balance that..

.. Risk-taker!

Youre even risking us.

Are you mad? What risk!

Arent we still together after

yesterdays record-breaking fight.

A years break wont

make any difference.

What break?

Dont be an idiot.

Being apart for a year

is an obvious break!

Al, one doesnt apply for

casual leave in a relationship!

Are you breaking up with me?

No, you sentimental freak!

Dont complicate it.

This is not a break-up,

this is just a little.. break.

What does a little break mean, Al?

Think before you answer.

Do you know what a

little break is?

No, but I know that we need it.

We need to find ourselves.

I just hope we dont lose each

other while finding ourselves.

We wont.

You wont let it happen.

Dont lose hope, Gulati.

What are you thinking?

Its time to fax the

Thread Maintenance Dept.

Dont lie, I know

youre missing no one.

Met your aunt yet? - No, but

shes lived in Oz for twenty years.

Besides, moms sister

is bound to be cool.

Ayesha first spoiled you

and now shes regretting it.

Had you come to me earlier

she wouldnt be ruing this day.

Whats wrong with this day?

You dont like Tuesdays?

No boys, no late-nights.

And no phone calls after eleven.

What?

I need to pee. Shall I hold or wait?

And finally a whiff of fresh air..

.. as our bound arms

stretch themselves.

My heart wants to hum..

While he wants to sing..

I smile, he giggles..

.. powerless

against this crazy whim.

Distances are important too.

Sometimes you gotta chase space.

Distances are important too.

Sometimes you gotta chase space.

Distances are important too.

Sometimes you gotta chase space.

She said my skirts

too short! Change it.

Imagine! Even Ayesha

never said this to me!

But why are we discussing her?

- Thank you.

The kids were

missing you today. -Who?

The kids we meet at the signal, Al!

Youve forgotten them already?

- Dont be silly.

Hey, if I murder my aunt..

.. where should I hide

her body? -Al, please.

Can we please talk

about something else?

I have to live with her,

Gulati! -So do I.

Gelato, guess what?

Your aunt is wearing a bikini

and head banging in the campus.

I was not talking about her.

Sometimes youre more

irritating than my aunt!

And were back to your aunt!

Alright. Well talk about aunt only.

Such intimacy sows

seeds of distances..

.. dont be fooled,

these waters are not sweet.

Look but dont touch; its fire..

..just watch it shimmer from afar..

..any closer and you could burn..

..powerless against this crazy whim.

Distances are important too.

Sometimes you gotta

chase space. - Hi, guys.

Hi, Im Rishabh.

- Hi, Aaliya.

You were really good today.

- Thanks.

God, my aunt.

Gotta go, guys.

Its 10 O clock.

She couldve called me.

I dont know what to do with her.

She just walked in.

Ayesha, I agreed to house my niece,

not to become part of local gossip!

She thinks its ok to be

wild cos this is Australia!

Has no respect for elders.

Its called survival, Gelato.

So what?

This isnt India, its Australia.

Its a bench in Australia.

Sounds really adventurous.

Look, dad has a

partner in Melbourne..

Ah! So I should leave

one dictatorship and..

..enter another rulebook!

Know what? Why dont I

just come back home?

Why explore the world, right?

Please dont do that.

Who will do the other

courses in the world?

Like the one in Switzerland,

on Snow Management.

Screw you!

Weve been arguing for over two

months! Im sick of this sh*t!

Im.. sorry, I dont want to fight.

I just want to help you.

Lets not talk for a few days, ok?

How will that help, Al?

If we dont hear

each others voices..

..well have very little left?

No, Gulati.

Itll make us stronger.

Ok. Lets try this as well.

But youre a nonsense person.

Bye, sweety.

I love you, sweety.

Ive never felt so

pathetically poor.

Who can afford 200 dollars a month?

Im screwed, man.

Hey, I have an idea!

You can stay where I live

if you pay advance rent.

Six hundred for six months.

Sorted!

What?

- Yup.

Thats awesome. Thank you.

Did you leave this pink

toothbrush in my bathroom?

What?

- I did.

Good. Come.

Last night was sensational.

- Deja vouz!

Thats yours.

Thats the way. Dont call.

Ill call or not.

Were there the two of

you last night? - No, Im..

No one cares who you are.

Get out.

- Excuse me?

Are you dumb and deaf? No

one gives a sh*t who you are!

She needs to take a sh*t!

But.. -Why arent you at the shack?

I wasnt in the mood.

Im in the mood to cut

your wage. -Just a sec..

You cant cut your

elder brothers pay.

Bite me!

You work for me. I own that shack!

Dont make me angry, Cyrus.

Youre Cyrus? Is this your house?

Wow! Ms. India has brains too.

Shes not your type.

And you

- thats called a door..

.. and if you lift those two,

you might discover walking.

Excuse me.

Or we can do something

else with them. - What?

This is not a freaking motel, Cy!

Thanks, that was butt ugly.

Freaks, Im Aaliya..

Rishabh sent me here.

- Aaliya.

Why didnt you say that earlier?

He finally got a hot babe.

We were expecting you..

- Im not his babe.
