Love Per Square Foot Page #4

---

Handing my leash over to someone else.

How does he get to decide when

I get married, where I should work

how I should lead my life?

What if he leaves me, then?

What are you going to do?

- What are you going to do?

- Enough, come home.

I don't want to become you.

Living in your brother's house.

This charity. Bloody helpless, homeless.

Yeah! Big you've become.

Standing on the road and being arrogant!

You know what days I removed?

I slogged day and night so that

you could go to school and all.

And now you turn around and

say you don't want to be me?

You will never be me.

I could've had a different life.

I could've got married again.

But I chose you!

I want to see you walking down

the aisle in that lovely dress

settling with one decent chap.

Is that too much for a mother to ask?

Don't want to be me!

You'll never be me!

- Are you approving Sanjay's loan?

- What are you doing?

It's someone else's.

You disapproved his loan, but I

guess you've approved the guy.

I saw you two leave together.

Tina, mind your own business.

You're sounding upset.

As if Sam proposed to you.

Did he? Really?

Leave.

Fine, don't tell me.

Actually, now I've understood

your concept of 50-50.

Romance with Sanjay,

and marriage with Sam.

Great!

Tomorrow is the last date.

What for?

Jeevan Saathi Housing Scheme.

But you two broke-up, right?

Samuel's going to Imphal, right?

Then he's going to Sikkim, then Kohima.

Those guys must be really lucky

who will get their own house.

Actually, the lucky ones are those

who are seeing this dream

together, you know.

The dream of their own home.

Wouldn't it be great if we...

I mean, wouldn't that be really simple?

Can't we apply for a joint loan?

I mean, let's fill the form together.

If we win the lottery,

what more can we ask for?

- Sanjay, it's for married couples.

- Yeah, I know.

All I am saying is,

let's fill the form.

And submit it.

One minute. Are you

proposing marriage to me...

- in a rickshaw?

- Yeah!

No, I am not proposing to you.

All I am saying is, let's fill the form.

And, if we get it

- we'll decide what to do with it.

- Do what?

What?

We'll work out a deal, Karina.

Like how, what, how much...

All I am trying to say is that this

is a once in a lifetime opportunity.

We won't get this scheme,

this location, this home again.

Sanjay...

What are you saying?

What are you saying?

- All this, for a house?

- No.

- Sorry.

- No.

No? Yeah.

It's a 550 sq.ft. Home, so...

Sorry.

550 built up?

Carpet area.

And two separate washrooms.

Balcony.

Modular kitchen.

With clips in the passage

for drying clothes.

Karina...

Lift?

- Two.

- Parking?

Stilt.

With a jungle gym for kids.

Karina, I am just saying

let's apply for it.

We won't get it so easily.

And, if you have your own home

you'll be able to live your

life on your own terms.

- Goodnight.

- Goodnight.

Hey...

I have a surprise for you.

Surprise!

What's this?

What? This is your little place.

I've been working on this for a while.

Look, I got the sewing

machine, and the...

Look.

Desk.

You know, you can work here.

Aunty Blossom can work there.

Listen, I am really

sorry about yesterday.

I made that announcement,

and I threw everyone off.

I know you want to get married soon

because your house is falling

on your head, but now you have this.

You know, you're very own space.

You and Aunty Blossom

can move in immediately.

You have complete privacy.

Your own entrance.

And, once we get married

Aunty Blossom can move to Canada.

And we can...

These windows don't open?

They are jammed.

But, you don't need to.

There's AC. So...

You don't need to open the windows.

And...

Ta-dah!

Our nameplate 'Kar-Sam'.

It's our names, Karina and Samuel.

- I can see that.

- I put your name first.

Yeah, I can see that too.

Babe...

I'll always look after you.

You don't have to worry about

a thing till I am there.

And when you're not there?

When I am not there...

- Yes?

- Where were you, Raju?

I told you to come immediately

when you hear the bell.

You just ruined it all. Go!

- Go away.

- Sorry, sir.

Anyway, so when I am

not there, he's there.

- Great!

- Isn't it?

Yes! Great!

She went for a meeting.

You don't remember that.

She doesn't have a boyfriend.

No boyfriends.

We still have three hours left.

Jeevan Saathi office?

Sign here, on your photograph.

Half here and half on the photograph.

- Doesn't this feel strange?

- Why?

I mean, are we doing the right thing?

The right thing?

What we're doing is mind-blowing.

We... Hold on. I got it, bro.

Check if everyone has the PAN card.

- Thank you.

- You're welcome.

- No problem.

- It's a very essential scheme.

The following documents are mandatory.

Marriage certificate.

- 400,000 demand draft.

- PAN card...

Marriage Certificate.

But we don't have

a marriage certificate.

- Neither do we have the money.

- Yeah, that...

Yes, you can keep the snacks here.

Take this receipt and go.

- There is one way.

- What?

Sanjay, now I realized

why that pick-pocketer's

story melted your heart.

Everyone in Mumbai has

a problem with space.

- Correct.

- But, only a few have a heart like you.

I will do your job. Give me the file.

Here's the form.

Along with all the papers in the file.

And, in whose name

will be the ownership?

- Single or Joint?

- Joint.

We'll share it 50-50.

Love marriage?

Planning to elope, aren't you?

Nice, but don't tell anyone.

- Give me the cheque.

- Well, the cheque...

- It is necessary for the deposit.

- Correct.

If you don't get the house,

the money will be refunded.

- Yeah, but now...

- Mr. Rehmat, I'll get it in a week's time.

This is official work.

- What about the marriage certificate?

- It's not there.

Actually, we just got married. So...

The marriage certificate

hasn't arrived yet.

Exactly.

Sanjay...

I've been working here for 15 years now.

I can judge from the face

whether a person's married,

or if he's divorced

or if he's in a live-in relationship.

Not to worry.

When God creates a problem

we always find a solution.

Just do as I say.

It's all perfect, son.

The entire process is computerized.

It'll close down at 6:00 p.m.

Their love-story will end right here.

Run! Run!

Now, have a sweet.

We just submitted the application.

- Once we get the house, we'll...

- No, no.

You two can have a home together

only when you two get together.

What?

Look, he has taken the form to

get a date for the

marriage registration.

Next, he's taking the file

to the housing department.

And once you get a

marriage registration date

in the next couple of weeks,

you must get married.

If you get lucky, your form

will move from here to there.

And then, happily ever after.

Go. Go.

Mr. Kamlesh, the file is ready.

Don't worry, it won't come to that.

If we get the house, we'll

complete all the formalities.

And the divorce registration is right

next to the marriage registration.
