But the problems..

- Do this, don`t do that!

That`s all there.

- Stress.

I don`t want to cause stress to you.

- Of course.

Especially because it

was so good between us.

Oh God!

Past tense! Was!

Jai!

- I know, I know.

The end shouldn`t be bitter.

Would you like to try

these ginger cookies?

I love ginger biscuits!

These are the house specialty.

- Thank you. - Hello. - So?

So, we should..

What?

- What does that mean?

Say it.

- You know what l`m trying to say.

I`m saying that we should..

What?

Break up.

We should break up.

I feel the same way.

That was easy.

Wow!

I was so tense

thinking what you might..

Hey!

Had you already decided to break up?

Did you?

What difference does it make?

You were wonderful, Meera.

I`m going to miss you badly.

I know.

So, what`s our status now?

Have we broken up, or when you..

We should let everyone know.

You always say the

correct thing, darling!

We`ll invite everyone.

Hey! Let`s have a party.

A break up party!

Yes, why not?

What?

- Sounds really strange, right?

Yes.

- Great.

Let`s do it then.

We won`t have a boring break-up,

crying and weeping..

..Iike other stale couples.

We`re both starting

completely new lives.

So, let`s celebrate.

A break-up party.

Practical.

So, are we supposed to be

happy or sad at this party?

I mean what clothes should I wear?

For a sad occasion..

Iike a funeral?

Or a happy event?

Anniversary, birthday?

And listen, how do I wish them?

What do I say?

Hey, guys!

Congratulations on your break-up!

Or, We are very

saddened by the news!

We have come to share your pain!

This break-up party.

It`s driving me nuts!

So, how many people would be coming?

- The entire public!

You know, I thought

these two would last.

Yes, I know. It`s really sad.

Why sad? It`s brilliant!

They`re parting happily.

They will remain friends.

Would you do this?

Sure.

- Great!

Now, all you need is a boyfriend!

Lousy woman!

Two friends of ours

have decided to break up.

We have to buy a gift for them?

So, for an occasion like this..

- Such a special occasion..

Do you have an appropriate gift?

You know like a break-up special?

What are you doing over here?

Everyone`s looking

for you over there. Go.

All the best.

- Thank you.

For the new life you

are about to start.

That`s because the girl..

How was that?

- Not bad. - Not bad.

All the best.. always works.

- Excuse me.

Weddings, funerals..

- Hey! What`s up?

Hi!

- Hi, guys.

Here`s your gift.

Congrats on your break-up..

type thing.

There`s no more fear.

You`re a wild stallion once more.

Welcome to the club.

So.. - Go to the bar.

- Is Jai single now?

Yes.

- So, I can have a go, right?

Absolutely.

Wow!

Go for it. All the best!

Thanks.

That`s nice of you.

So, handsome..

What are your plans for later?

Come on, Colly!

You want me too?

Meera!

Get used to it.

You`ve become rusty in

these past two years.

Come on, Jai.

So..

What`s the plan?

Wow! Say it!

Should I show you?

Would I like..

..what you got to show me?

Depends on your taste.

Can my friends see it too?

Yes..

- Come on.

So, this is it?

Meera Pandit.

We`ll stay in touch for sure.

When you come to

London on a vacation.

If l`m still here.

Because..

We`ll stay in touch..

that`s definite.

I don`t doubt that.

Internet.

Mails, chat..

..chat rooms..

..phones, texting.

It`s the era of communication.

Excuse me.

Can I have a black coffee, please.

I`m sorry.

- Black coffee.

No. We`re closed.

My friend just got broken up, lady!

Sorry, we`re closed.

Look, haven`t you ever

broken up with someone?

Like a tall waiter or someone?

It`s okay, Barbara.

Let them have it. Give it to them.

Okay.

- The party`s on, boys.

Order whatever you want.

Thank you, sir.

It`s my place.

So, the kitchen can reopen.

Okay.

- Hi, can I get a coffee please?

And so..

All is well?

Yes.

You broke up.

- `Thank you.`

Why?

Not going to answer me?

Sir, this is a personal matter.

It has nothing to do with you.

She seemed like a great girl.

Why didn`t you like her?

What?

Did I say I didn`t like her?

Then?

Then what?

- Why did you break up with her?

Was your family against it?

What does my family

have to do with this?

And what`s it got to do with you?

Never mind. Just tell me.

Keep your coffee..

Hey! I`ve offended you!

Come back. Sit down.

Sit down.

Sit down.

Keep a cool head.

Now, tell me. What happened?

Don`t mind, boy.

Just tell me. Tell me.

There were some practical reasons.

Both of us are moving

to different countries.

Yes, I heard that.

That day, when you were

making all those excuses.

You heard me?

That was the truth?!

Wow!

What`s going on?

It`s become a practical world.

Anyway, this is your life, boy.

What can I do?

Of course!

Of course, there`s

nothing you can do.

What can you do?

This is unreal!

So, she`s leaving tomorrow?

Yes.

Are you dropping her to the airport?

No.

- Why?

Because she asked me not to.

Now, why has she said that?

What`s the reason?

You obviously want to know, right?

It`s important to you.

Because I don`t have

my car tomorrow.

Why not? Because Neha is taking it.

Who is Neha? My sister.

Where? To give her examination.

What subject?

- Taxi?

Bus? Train?

The flight is taking

off from Stansted!

Road repair work is on..

There`ll be traffic everywhere.

I won`t get a taxi either.

Never mind, we`ll take my car.

My cafe opens in the afternoon.

So, we can go.

You`ll drive me to the airport?

Absolutely.

Why? What`s your angle?

Angle?

Should I tell you?

Yes.

I like you a lot.

No, sorry, sorry.

That`s not it.

The way you are right now..

..many years back,

I was exactly like that.

Ditto, exact.

And I should also tell you..

..I was dangerously

handsome in my youth.

Thank you.

I remember myself

when I look at you.

I`ll take you.

It`s important for you to go.

Look, sir.

Thank you.

Really.

But she doesn`t want me

to come to see her off.

Are you mad? Of course,

she wants you to come.

Absolutely. Very desperately.

I knew it!

I knew you would come.

Really?

Sorry, it`s difficult to

surprise me after two years.

You came!

Mom, am I very late or just a little?

- Flowers.

Hurry up, dear.

- For me? - For her.

Give me five minutes.

- No, no!

I`m not a flower-giving type of guy!

Hi, Uncle.

- Hi.

Jai..

Oh, my God! No!

This can`t be happening!

Jai Vardhan Singh and flowers?

I must be really special.

Oh..

Now, l`ve become sentimental.

For the first time, that too now?

Thank you, Jai.

You know, I was waiting for you.

If you hadn`t come..

..I would have been

restless all the way.

I`m glad I came, Meera.

Uncle, why is it..

No matter how many

times one says goodbye..

..it`s so important to meet

one last time before leaving.

But now, I can leave happily.

No matter how long it takes..

..or how far I have to go.

Hey, stop!

Have some hot tea.

Tea.. hot tea..

Who was she?

- Who?

The one whose film is
