Highway Page #5

You don't get it! - Veera..

Sleep! You're exhausted.

You have to sleep. Okay?

Sleep. Sleep..

- No..

He died on the spot.

At around 9.30.

Before we could get him

on the stretcher, he died.

I see. - Can we take Veera

back to Delhi?

Sure.

- Thank you.

Where's the body?

- In the mortuary.

The post-mortem?

- Done, sir.

Mahabir Bhaati.

- Right, sir.

Navita, come here.

I'll prepare the injection.

Vinay's mom wants to see you.

Be nice to her. Okay?

Be pleasant.

Like everything was normal.

What do you think, Veera?

In which city should we have

the wedding?

M.K. was saying New York.

Convenient for everyone.

Guess what, Veera.

We're engaged.

You know, the other day,

I came back home from work

and he had done up

my entire room with flowers,

candles.. - She's not interested

in the story.

- Of course, she is.

Every winter they say

it's so cold.

Every summer that say

that it's too warm.

Absolutely.

- Why is it such a surprise?

Every year..

- What happened?

Why are you coming down?

Where is the nurse?

- Let her come.

Come on, dear.

Slowly. Careful.

Come in.

Good.

So, how are you

feeling now?

Better.

And you?

We're fine.

Just worried about you.

Hope you'll get better soon.

She looks much better.

Hi, Vinay.

- Hi, Veera.

I found my home on a mountain.

Really?

I cooked food.

I cleaned my house too.

Then the bullet was fired.

Vinay loves the mountains,

right?

That Austrian resort? You know

Veera's favorite.. - The ski..

The ski resort.

- I always said

that I would run away.

I don't want

to live in the city.

Doesn't everyone say that?

But who runs away?

I wouldn't have either

if Mahabir hadn't kidnapped me

and taken me away.

But now..

I'm gone.

I cannot come back.

Veera, I think you should rest.

We'll talk later.

It's so strange.

I was kidnapped

but I was free there.

I'm in prison here.

Hey.. Anyway.

Pratima.

- Come on, Veera.

Is this my home?

- Come!

No chocolates today,

Mr. Shukla?

I'll order some now.

Where?

Where will you give them to me?

Here? Or in the bathroom?

Quiet.

Enough of this.

Yes, mummy? Is there

something you want to say?

Stupid. I don't know

what she's talking about.

Can't you remember?

Let me remind you.

My princess.

You're the most beautiful girl

in the world. My doll.

Remember?

With your hands

how you'd cover my mouth

so that my screams

could not be heard.

Well?

All my screams..

My cries of pain..

To keep my screams silent

you forced my mouth shut. Hush!

Control her!

Priya. Hold her, please.

- In the bathroom..

Again and again.

- Veera.

The running tap..

Where were you, nurse?

Take her away.

- She has really gone crazy.

They are right.

I used to scream. I was nine!

That hand was over my mouth.

My cries were silenced.

No one heard me.

Mad! She has gone mad.

Ask her to shut up, Manu.

Ask her to shut..

- Shut up!

Yes. It happens.

These things happen

all the time.

So you know what?

I'm not okay with it.

This world

where this happens..

Where you can't tell a lie

from the truth.

Everything is mixed up.

There's so much confusion.

Veera. Baby..

Okay. Let's be sensible.

- No!

I will not be sensible.

I'm stupid. I'll remain stupid.

Relax.

Sensible?

Veera, be careful

when you go out.

Strangers are bad.

A girl should always be careful.

Why didn't you ever say

that I should be careful

inside the house too?

That I should also protect

myself from you.

Why didn't you ever tell me?

I was so exposed here.

Inside my own house.

So, I don't want to be sensible.

I am foolish. I'm bad.

But I am not one of you.

I will not come back.
