Hum Tum Page #4

What? - Always transpires

with prayer candles

Mamma, I thought you wouldn't make it

I was held up

I thought I'd miss your flight.

But Karan took care of everything

Friend's colony?

I live in Friends Colony too

Sorry, I lied. Actually

I live in Kailash Colony

But now that we've met

Let's meet up more

No use

No use. You'll end up taking her out,

splurging on her...

And when you're dropping her home

you'll hope she asks you in for coffee

She won't

How can you say?

Even I did my bit. But don't worry

my success rate wasn't hundred percent

Many a times, I was

left thirsting for coffee

You think I don't think like you?

For you as many girls as you wish?

For me, only one for a whole lifetime?

Don't worry, Rhea didn't

make a wrong decision

No boring scenes as in when I suddenly

realise that you're in love with Rhea

Even if he does, too bad

We need women more than they need us

And somewhere inside all of us guys,

there's a kid who refuses to grow up

No matter... how feeble

she might seem...

but in here we're far weaker

But you won't understand now

The day you find your Rhea, you'll know

You always appear just

when I've forgotten all about you

Which means, you think of me

all the time when I'm away

I never meant that

If you wish never to see me again...

you must think of me always

Because when you've

forgotten all about me...

I'll make my appearance- Yes

But if you're thinking of me always

you're actually wishing you'd see me

Right?

Yes... no...

That's why a boy and a girl

can never be friends- Why?

Because you girls always end up

talking about love

Then you and I

will never be friends

Dad, will you ever be on time?

I'm no poet

But my pretty one...

ever since I've seen you...

poetry just dawned upon me

I had heard of love, no doubt

But I didn't know what love was

I remained confused

as confusions generally are...

and remained an enemy among friends

Yet I'm no foe...

but dear pretty one...

having seen you...

I've learnt to make friends

And I was no poet

Nice? Awful?

Your Dad isn't an international

photographer for nothing

Could I find her phone number?

Now Paris? Aren't you tired of

shifting base every year or two?

What's tiring about it?

In the last eight years I've done

New York, Milan and now Paris

Who are you running from?

- Your mother

I won't talk ill of

your mother in front of you

Dad! Not even behind my back

A man has a right to live his life, no?

If not my wife, whom do I criticize...

my neighbour's wife?

Even after all these years of living apart?

You still consider her your wife?

Mom was upset when

we shifted from Delhi.

She's settled down

Your room is over there.

- Thanks

Part of my last year's

photo exhibition

Snacks? - Yes please

Your wife is fine, Dad

Did I ask how she is?

Not in as many words

Good day, mister. Coffee or tea?

Good day, madam. Coffee or tea?

- Coffee.

Like I said, life's a long while

We keep meeting

That was bound to happen

Every time we meet

something always goes wrong

You haven't changed a bit

What are you doing in Paris?

- I run a little boutique here

What are you doing here?

I'm pursuing love between"You and l"

Remember my cartoon characters

Hum-Tum?

You won't believe it, the whole

country is raving about Hum-Tum

Publishers wanted me to write

a novel about Hum-Tum... in which...

they fall in love. Because Paris is

the most romantic city in the world...

here I am, catalysing their romance.

And it's so awful, you're walking out?

No, it's my station.

All the best for your Hum-Tum

Say hi to Sameer

Sameer is no longer part of my life

That's a sandwich.

Meant to be eaten, not ogled

Should I call her up Dad?

- Certainly not

Wait till the next summer

I want to talk to her,

I want to know what happened to her

She isn't the same old Rhea

But she doesn't have a nice impression

of me.

Hope she doesn't get me wrong

If you wish to do a good turn,

do it. Don't hesitate

If you keep mulling over it

you'll end up nowhere

Who will eat that food? Your Dad?

Not a bad idea, who wants to diet?

Can I speak to Rhea?

Who's calling?

I'm hearing Hindi after ages

Umrao Jaan, is that you? - Umrao Jaan?

Aunty, I'm Karan. Karan Kapoor.

Mrs. Kapoor's son

Is that you Tiger?

Where are you calling from?

I'm calling from Paris.

You needn't raise your voice

Shut up, I'm tired of talking

in hushed tones

Blast their diction, they always

seem to be conspiring in whispers

If you're in Paris aren't

you coming over to see us?

Give me your address and

I'll be over in a flash

Address? You know how

these names sound

...I went to school till 8th standard

Yes I can manage English,

but this language...

never heard anything like it

French... never speak what they write.

More like they are gargling.

I'll give it a try. Write

It's a red building on the street.

I can't manage the name of the house

Made of olden type red bricks

Sometime in life some things happen

and you lose faith in God

Did Sameer and Rhea hurt anyone?

Just after their first anniversary...

like everyday Sameer

was leaving for work

Some college students jumped

a traffic signal for the fun of it

And in a moment's time,

Rhea's life changed forever

Time was when she lit up my life

whenever she came home

Nowadays she's so quiet...

She left America, India...

and now she's here...

where she knows no one

and no one knows her

I think she wants

to get lost in the crowds

Now it's as if Rhea is lost herself

My Rhea lived life on her own terms;

in life's hands, she suffers her defeat

Just met your mother

Can I share your umbrella?

In life, how often...

Sometimes whatever happens to us...

God what am I saying?

Whatever I say, what use...

You're home

And you couldn't even say

how you liked the conversation

Thank you Karan - What for?

For what you've been trying to say

Hey Rhea, can I borrow your umbrella?

One minute... your phone.

Who is it? - No idea

This is such a problem.

I grasp

Neither the language nor the cuisine

I end up eating what I never ordered.

And I get to return your umbrella

No Karan. Not lunch.

I'm busy tomorrow

He only asked you out for lunch

You could've said dinner

All day you sit at home.

You could do with an outing

What a life. Home-to-boutique-to-home

I'm only watching my thriller

Lovely song. Shammi Kapoor is a star

My darling baby

Finding that Chinese

restaurant was tough

You said you'd be busy.

So I thought let's have lunch here

Come on, I am famished

Why are you doing this, Karan?

Why this expression of sympathy?

This is the reason

why I didn't

return to India after Sameer died

I hate seeing people pitying me

The food bill. 32 Euros

Your share is 16 Euros. Remember?

You only said fifty-fifty

Can we eat? I'm really hungry

Lovely food

How did you find out I like Chinese?

- I never knew. I love Chinese

Eat in peace.

Let me take care of her

Pretty child. - Thank you
