Hum Tum Page #5

Something about me?

- I only said she's a pretty child

You picked up French so fast?

Must know the language where you live

I seem to be able to make do

with Hindi anywhere in the world

If they don't know Hindi

I make sure I teach them some

If I don't teach Hindi

to those French kids...

you can change my

name to something French

But if I succeed, you'll

do as I say. - Do what?

Chuck up every woe

Chuck it, I'm with you

Try and smile once

Let hues of the Spring

blossom once again

Sing a new song, strike a new melody

It's a new season, it's a new day

Chuck it...

chuck every woe

Chuck it, I'm with you

Unleash new joys,

sing a new rhapsody

Let loose your moorings

ride new waves of ecstasy

Get the bounce on your feet

let dance the sands at your feet

Feel your spirits rise

and reach for the skies

It's the only life you ever had

through twists and turns, good or bad

Hug every moment, get life's feel.

Smile, life's joys you can steal

What are you doing? My bags...

I don't run a hotel.

If you're living

with me, you'll socialize with me

If you're seeing only Rhea

find someplace else

Out you go.

You're not staying with me

These dramatics don't suit you.

Open the door

Spending so much time with a girl

doesn't suit you either

By the way, is it serious?

What an awkward monologue with

a door.

On one condition.

You'll introduce me to Rhea

Rhea has invited us to lunch tomorrow

The door was open?

You think I'm a bad dad

who'll lock his son out in the cold?

I'm a bad boy

Excuse me...

Is Karan in?

I am Arjun Kapoor. Good day.

- Good day. I'm Nicole

Welcome

Namaste. - Namaste

So you are Karan's "bau'ji"...

- "Bau'ji"?

Myself Mrs. Parminder Prakash.

You can call me Bobby

I'd rather call you Dimple,

the actress who played Bobby

Your Bau'ji is very

colourful, Karan. - Dad...

Flowers for my Umrao Jaan.

- Lovely flowers. Nice boy

I wish I had carried those flowers

Please come in

Do come inside

Nice house. - Thank you

So you've taken after your father

Son...

I want to see Rhea married again

You ought to talk to my mother

She organizes weddings

Silly, I didn't mean that

You aren't talking about me?

- I love my daughter dearly

Would I ever want her to marry

someone like you?

Thank God. I was scared

Life is meant to be lived

...to the fullest

I know what Ioneliness means

At least I had Rhea

After I'm gone, who stays with Rhea?

Everyone of us needs someone...

For company, love, support

But I have a feeling

That Rhea will refuse to agree

That's why she is living here.

But whom will she find here?

But son, if we can find a

nice boy I think it'll work out

So you're looking for

someone conservative, homely...

Because interesting boys like you

Never make nice husbands

What happened uncle?

Nothing, just remembered someone

I met her a few years ago.

She's very beautiful

The only beauty I could never capture

In my camera

nor into my life

I should not be asking, but...

- Then don't ask

Come in, I'll tell you

I was just back from London

after a course in photography

Then I met Anju

Anju's world was very different

from mine.

She was plain Simple girl.

With a strong mind

That's the quality in her

that sets her apart

You may have conquered the world, but...

We married

To make each other happy,

initially we made our compromises

Like where-are-you-going, who-is-she?

Maybe I was not prepared for marriage

Afterwards questions that had

never been raised cropped up

I guess I was not ready for marriage.

With time, there was more work,

more quarrels. In a fit of rage...

I took up a six-month

assignment in America

She asked not a question,

I gave no answers

For six months I waited for a call

from her;

maybe she waited for mine

Then six months became a year

and years became ages.

On one count I'm grateful to her

She never let Karan feel

the distance between us

I don't know why I'm telling you this

...I never even confided in myself

Neither to me

Wish you had tried atleast once...

So neither have you

been able to forgive me

I forgave you long ago, Dad.

But I never got over what you did

Maybe you ought to say sorry

to someone else

You must think I'm evil

No one's evil. Evil

are the times that befall

You're saying I've fallen

into evil times

There you are. Come inside.

I don't serve a bad lunch

Sure... - Out there

it's colder than Amritsar

I never could bring up

this topic with my dad

If you tell anyone I cried

The one with the dog?

You're incorrigible!

I wonder what her mother's like. - What?

Rhea, father and son are incorrigible

Let's go in.

You aren't dressed yet?

Not going to the airport? Get dressed

Spare me. - Why?

I can't bid goodbyes

Getting late, I should make a move

Remember, we met at the airport

After that first meeting...

Of course not

That's why you tried to kiss me

Only tried?

Then I hated you so much all

because...

you didn't know how to talk,

you had no respect for women...

you were so ill-mannered and irritating

After all these years

you remember everything about me?

Did you hit upon a story

for your Hum-Tum?

I have something in mind. In the end

who know's Hum-Tum may fall in love

You know Karan, I didn't think

I would ever admit this to you

We're going to see each other

very soon. Guess why?

Because though life's a long while

we have very little time

Are we going to be friends now?

Friends? But you always said

you'd never make friends with girls

Pretty girls are the exception

And I am not pretty! - When did I say that?

Are you saying I'm pretty?

Rhea is coming after 3 days? - Yes

Whose friend is she,

yours or mine? - Mine

And am I your chauffeur

or secretary? - Neither

Then why do you want me to

pick her up from the airport?

Because I want you to marry her

You want me to marry Rhea?

- Exactly

Come on Mihir, you're

perfect for each other

If Rhea is perfect

why don't you marry her?

I can't marry Rhea. - Why?

I'm the sort a mother

would warn her daughter about

I know Rhea. She needs

a mature, experienced guy

In three days, Rhea is coming.

Pick her up at the airport

If you don't like her

you needn't see her ever again

When did I say yes?

- You didn't say no

I can't believe it

...I'm doing your bidding

If Rhea realizes that I'm introducing

the two of you

After the wedding,

can I tell her we're married?

Not bad!

Already contemplating the marriage?

Rhea is putting up with her aunt.

She knows the address

Come on, I'm busy. Hang up

Australia fields so well

even in video games

Yes... you?

Karan's friend. Not chauffeur so...

So you are Mihir.

Myself Mrs. Parminder Prakash

How handsome

You're just like Karan described you

Karan described?

No... he didn't. He only said

Mihir would receive us in his stead

You couldn't tell me that before?

- Such a long flight. I'm at wits' end

Something cropped up suddenly.

Karan is busy... so I had to come

Suddenly? But you said
