Half Girlfriend Page #4

Have you heard of him?

He's the richest man on earth.

What are you saying?

But, sir, how would he help us?

He has an organization,

called Bill & Melinda Foundation.

They want to offer financial support

to schools in Bihar.

Next Monday,

he'll be meeting delegates

from schools in Patna.

You could meet him.

Make hay while the sun shines.

You never know when one might get lucky.

We will apply a coat of paint

on the school walls...

...and the students will organize

a show for Mr. Gates.

It'll be great fun!

You know what? I find you sincere.

I really hope that you receive the grant.

It must be a good speech.

Many times, Mr. Gates

sanctions grant on the spot.

I'll give an amazing speech.

He'll be speechless, you'll see.

This will have the most immediate

impact on Mr. Gates.

In English?

Madhav!

Madhav Jha!

Madhav?

Where's Riya?

Please tell me. Isn't she with you?

Riya.

Riya!

Why did you get Riya's stuff?

Isn't she with you in Patna?

What's this, Madhav?

Tell me where Riya is!

Where's Riya?

Tell me!

Riya!

You can't leave me like this.

How long has it been since I got this job?

It's been two years!

And I've been asking you ever since

to visit New York.

And you...

Anyway...

You took your time, buddy,

but you are here finally.

It's a nice house!

It's nice meeting you, Rutvi.

It's nice meeting you, too.

I've heard a lot about you, and...

Hey!

What's the hurry? You can unpack later.

Have some refreshments.

It's your room after all.

Tell me something.

You kept telling me

that you'd leave the village.

Now, Madhav, tell me about

this internship in New York.

Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation

collaborates with the UN,

-that's how I got an internship.

-What?

You're dropping one bomb after another.

I don't understand, Madhav.

First, it was United Nations,

and now Bill Gates!

Where did you find out about

this internship? Was it in Delhi?

In my village.

In the village!

Bill Gates was in your village!

Bill and Melinda Gates are in Patna.

What are you doing here?

My company sent me here.

So you joined Somani Infratech.

Do I look like someone

who would join her dad's company?

You didn't look like someone

who would drop out and get married either.

I'm staying at Chanakya.

The bus is here.

-Move...

-Get aside.

-Hurry up.

-Let me through.

-Where do I keep the luggage? On my head?

-Come on, hurry up.

Do you wish to take the bus or not?

What are you waiting for?

Hurry up if you want to get in.

Or you'll miss it.

-Sir, I have to check your bag...

-I was here a moment ago!

Is Riya Somani there?

Okay. I'll wait for her.

I was about to leave

after my meeting.

You just walked in.

What a strange coincidence!

I had another meeting.

Yes! I had to attend quite a few meetings!

Patna is a small place after all.

And there's just one good hotel here!

If you have no more meetings,

should we have dinner together?

That's a good idea.

But there's one problem.

I've been sitting over here

for the past seven hours.

I really need to go to the washroom.

We would like to build toilets

for girl students in our school.

Men can attend to nature's call

at any place!

But that's not the case for women.

That's the main reason

for girls not attending school.

Bill Gates Foundation

could help us out, that's why I'm here.

You can think about such things even

though you're from a small town.

My family won't be able

to come up with such ideas

despite being

from the crme de la crme.

That reminds me...

...how's Rohan doing?

-He must be all right.

-What do you mean?

We are divorced.

Oh! I am sorry to know that.

Would you like some

falooda or rabri?

-You must try them out.

-No, thank you.

I've quit having desserts.

Now tell me...

...how are you doing?

I've also quit something.

-What?

-I didn't quit having desserts.

Well, yes, I've quit having desserts.

I can't get a divorce

since I'm not married yet!

Sir, here's the bill.

Yes, give it to me.

-Madhav, just a second...

-Let me pay.

-Madhav, what are you doing?

-Let me pay.

-No, Madhav!

-You're in my city.

-Don't waste your dad's money.

-Madhav!

-Let me pay.

-This my money. It's my salary.

Don't you dare take money from her!

I'll thrash you if you do that.

Let it go!

To go Dutch means to share

the bill equally.

Okay? Half-half...

Actually, I'm in Patna for a few months.

-So...

-Really?

If you're here again,

we can meet up. Right?

-Rickshaw!

-You're staying at Chanakya, right?

Yes, for now. But I'll be moving soon.

In fact, on Sunday, I'm going

to check out an apartment.

I could help you find a place.

Why should you come all the way to Patna?

It's not a big deal.

I have to come anyway.

I have a wound that never heals.

The English language.

I have to give a speech in English.

I'll be coming to Patna

to take English lessons.

Meanwhile, I can help you

find an apartment.

-Let's go.

-Hold on a second.

But I want to depend on you, Riya.

As in going Dutch.

You scratch my back, and I scratch yours.

You can help me write the speech

and I'll help you find an apartment.

Half-half...

Did you forget?

After all, You're my half girlfriend.

Let's share the fare as well! Let's go.

-Tell me something.

-Madhav.

Is it possible to go Dutch on the fare?

And that one over there...

Yes, ma'am. That's a nice place.

It has a balcony all around.

-And it has four bedrooms.

-How about that one?

You're mine in this moment

This might not be true tomorrow

You might not be yourself

I might not be myself

Our paths may diverge

We might get lost on the way

Riya

But I will continue loving you

I will continue loving you

I will continue loving you

I will continue loving you

I will happily give up my life for you

I will continue loving you

I shall sing songs of our love

Through my silence

I will continue loving you

I will continue loving you

I will happily give up my life for you

I will continue loving you

I need you desperately

As a drowning man needs air

I search for you blindly

As if you are my last support

I search for you like a mad man

Whenever I have to laugh or cry

You might not love me tomorrow

I might not have your permission

But I will still be at your doorstep

With the broken pieces of my heart

I will continue loving you

I will continue loving you

I will happily give up my life for you

I will continue loving you

Did I get it right?

I will continue loving you

I will continue loving you

-I will continue loving you

-If you visit our school,

you will notice only one thing.

The laughter of our children.

That's why our childrens deserve

much more.

Shouldn't you applaud?

Sir, it's not "childrens",

-it's children.

-How dare you teach me! Get lost!

How dare you correct me!

Did I make a mistake? How did I do?

Half? Again?

-This word will never leave me.

-Speak English, Madhav.

The half court.

Half this, Half that.

Yes, half bill.

-And half girlfriend.

-Madhav, you aren't serious.
