Love Per Square Foot Page #7

So I want to tell you

everything about my past.

Mom.

Hi, Mom.

Yeah.

Mom, I... I am coming.

Yeah, I am coming.

Sanjay Chaturvedi,

congratulations for the home!

6:
30 p.m...

- I'm so sorry.

- It's okay.

- Hi.

- Hi.

Rashi, what are you doing?

Kashin and I broke up.

- I told him everything about us.

- Told him what?

- This.

- Rashi!

Now Kashin will never interfere.

- This...

- It's just you and me now.

Rashi, I got that

home in the lucky draw.

Do you remember, I had applied for

the home loan? It got approved.

- So now, I just need to get married.

- I know.

You made a deal with

that girl for the house.

What is her name?

- Kari...

- Anyway, it doesn't matter.

I know you always dreamed

of buying your own home.

Isn't that why you're

doing all this, Sanju?

The marriage, the loan.

We do have our own home now.

And, it's much bigger

than that cheap pigeon-hole.

Our names will be on the agreement.

Okay, we'll transfer

it to your name if you want.

No biggie.

Rashi, let's not hold up the lift.

What will people think?

Sanjay!

What are you thinking?

Wasn't this your dream?

You've always wanted me,

and now you have me

and now I love you!

What is the problem?

I don't love you, Rashi.

And you love her.

- What's this?

- It's a letter.

- You read it?

- I also read it.

- What's wrong with you?

- Yeah, Karina, what's wrong with you?

- What's wrong with you?

- What's wrong with you?

Everybody stop saying

What's wrong with you?

You answer me, Karina, first.

Karina, talk to me.

We love each other.

You didn't even come with me to Imphal.

I don't want to go to Imphal with you.

I don't want to go anywhere with you.

Mom, we discussed this before.

I need my own space.

I cannot live with your parents,

I need to make my own decision.

- I have a career to think about.

- But, my girl...

And, Mom, I may not be

able to save this world

but I need to be responsible

for my own life.

And, Sam, I don't love you!

I don't think I ever did.

- Then what were you doing for so long?

- Mom, it was just a compromise.

You look like you're more

in love with him than I am.

There is nothing between us.

- No love, no sex.

- Enough now, enough!

- You're talking rubbish!

- What rubbish I am talking?

Tell her, if I am talking rubbish.

Karina, you know we

can't do it before marriage.

Everybody, please stop

talking about S-E-X.

And I gave you your own space.

I gave you 'Kar-Sam'.

And, Aunty, after marriage we

can have as much S-E-X as you want.

Stop it! Sam, stop it!

- Karina...

- Mom, I'm getting married to Sanjay.

Sanjay? Who is Sanjay now?

Yeah, who is Sanjay now?

Again you're repeating what I'm saying.

I am getting irritated. Who is Sanjay?

- Sam!

- Sam! Sam!

- Sam, listen.

- Sam! Sam! Sam!

I am really sorry about all this.

You're a very nice guy.

It's just that, we're

two very different people

wanting different things from life.

You want a Mrs. Masqita, right?

Who'll take care of your home,

take care of your parents.

Who'll take care of you.

But I can't be that person.

- I am sure you'll find someone.

- It's okay.

Sam...

Aunty, I gave it my best.

But you broke my heart.

I am angry. I am upset.

I am shattered.

But I don't just say anything...

that I am going to regret in the future.

Best of luck with your life...

- and that Hindu boy of yours.

- Sam!

- What's the name of that fellow?

- Mom...

- I'll... I'll tell you.

- You said, Sanjay, right?

- Sanjay what?

- Sit.

What?

Sanjay Chaturvedi.

Chaturvedi?

What's Chaturvedi?

- He's a Hindu?

- Mom...

- Oh my Jesus!

- Mom!

What you simply... Your blood

pressure will go up, Mom!

Then why are you doing this to me?

Do you want to kill me or what?

- Mom, I...

- Such a good Christian boy.

Mom, I love Sanjay.

I love him. I can actually see myself

spending a lifetime

with him, not with Sam.

As nice as he is.

You wanted a decent boy, right?

- You wanted a decent boy.

- Yes.

Sanjay is that guy, Mom.

He sees the world as I do.

And, we even got a home loan together.

We applied for a house

together and we got it.

Oh my Jesus!

Mom?

Mom?

Mommy? Mom?

Don't worry, I am not

going to die so soon.

First I want to see that boy of yours.

Since when did you become friendly to him?

Since one month, Aunty.

And when did you apply

for a house together?

Two days ago.

And, when did you two fall

in love, this morning?

Mom!

I got some chicken patice,

he'll eat, right?

No, Aunty, I'm a vegetarian.

And fish?

No, Aunty.

But she loves fish.

- My Jesus, you're going to convert...

- No, Mom.

No, Aunty.

- And children.

- Whose?

Mom, can you please stop this now?

No, I won't stop it. You've to ask

all these things from the beginning.

He's from another religion.

Do you know how they live?

Their customs.

It's one thing to fall

in love with them, but

another thing to live with them.

- Children...

- Children, Aunty?

- Will he be a Hindu, or a Christian?

- We'll figure it out later, Mom.

Later when? When it's too late?

- Do you believe in God?

- No, Aunty, I am not much of a believer.

Good, she doesn't either.

Can we please stop this

interrogation, Mom?

No, we cannot!

What will I say to Father Lori?

First she was friendly to Sam.

Then she broke off with him.

Now she's friendly

to one Hindu boy.

- Look, Sanjeev...

- Sanjay, Aunty.

Sanjay.

You two have already decided everything.

About your marriage and everything else.

But that's not how we do things.

I've made a lot of sacrifices for her...

but she ignored all of it.

Maybe she doesn't care for me.

But, she's my only child.

If anything happens to her,

what am I going to do?

- Mom...

- Aunty...

I am a Chaturvedi,

and she is a D'Souza.

I like cottage cheese

and she loves fish.

But that will never come between us.

We'll take really good

care of each other.

I mean, we'll probably

quarrel sometimes.

Maybe.

But the reason will never be our

religion and that's my promise, Aunty.

And our children can worship Jesus,

or Lord Hanuman, or Sachin Tendulkar.

We'll let the kids decide that.

Aunty, for now we just

want to get married.

That's it.

And we only need your blessings.

- Did you take your parents' blessings?

- Of course, Aunty.

I'll never allow a

meat-eater in my home.

When did you do this? This?

Will it be in your name?

Yours and that girl's?

Did you read her name? D'Souza.

Why are you saying that?

I thought you will be happy.

Why tell us now?

You could've told us

after you two got married.

You'll be happy!

Did you two get married?

Did you?

If I had, then why would I be introducing

you two to her mother, tomorrow?

- Where did you meet her?

- At my office.

- Is she fair?

- See for yourself, tomorrow.

I know all about your dream home.

But why borrow from someone else?

Why didn't you come to me?

I could have given you the money.

You fool!

You never did anything

when you had a job.

Stop bragging after you're retired.
