Piku Page #9

---

for your frustrations...

...no one else, anyways such

old memories coming back...

...remember Binod, after

mother passed away...

...her body was kept here, head

that side legs here...

And then Piku's mother's

body that too...

Piku lets go.

Where?

We'll just go out...just...

But where?

Kolkata tour.

Hey Piku...Don't be late...

Yeah I'll come soon...

If you're so emotionally

attached to this place...

...then why do you want to

sell it off? You don't need money...

What? Have you lost it?

Brick by brick I've

constructed this house...

CHAMPA KUNJ can't be sold

ever, it will never be sold!

Our mother's name...CHAMPA...

that's written on it...Got it?!

But brother...

No no no! if you can't maintain

it...I'll give the money...

Turn right from here

Mom used to teach here then

she met Dad and got married...

And left the job?

- Yes.

Why don't you

elope and get married?

He's not that bad...

Moreover you need

someone to run away with...

...why didn't you marry?

Next stop coffee shop

hhuuhh and then by the Ganges.

Okay!

There used to be a theater

here and now a building.

That's what happens usually...

...don't you want

to sell off your house?

One day a building

will come up there too...

I am just being practical...

No no I am not saying

you're wrong.

May be this is the way forward...

...guess this is

what development is...

...but if you pull your roots out...

...what will remain...

...you know what I mean...

Yes Dad. Crataegus.

Carbo veg... 6-7

drops, yes I am coming.

You guys must not be

having any medical expenses...

...looks like you manage

your own treatment...

Yeah...

How old is you father must

be at least 70?

Hmm exact.

And the way you're being his doctor...

..he'll be around for another 20

more years...which makes him 90.

Touchwood.

And in next 20 years, you too

will become 50 approximately?

Hmm?

- So?

50 in just taking

care of your father?

One minute, why are

you saying all this?

You know my situation?

You know he's dependent on me?

Can't hear or see properly,

shoulcl I leave him? - No no...

How will he manage on his own?

I am not asking you to leave him..

even I haven't left my mother...

...I am just saying I hope

you realize he is a selfish man...

...no he's not...

Yeah he is

And even if he is...

he's my father...

If he's your father then

why do behave like his mother?

Because Rana, after a certain

age parents can't live on their own...

...they need to be kept alive...

...and that responsibility

is of kids only...

...so if someone

wants to marry me...

He'll have to adopt

your 90 year old kid too?

Of course...

...will you marry me?

I haven't gone mad...

Then don't worry about me...

No no I am not worrying.

Dad used to take us there to show steamers

there can you see, there?

Please come down,

Aunt Chhobi is here...

Bhaku cia...Piku...Binod...

How are you all?

Wait wait, I am coming.

How come? Why? I mean...

There, surprised you!

- Surprise, well...

Where's Piku?

Piku's gone out.

Aunty... Your uncle suddenly

made a plan for Darjeeling...

...so I thought I'll meet you

all on the way, now come fast.

Ok ok.

Thank you dear, cheers!

Bhaku da, hey Bhaku da.

What is it, why is your mood off?

Now you're in Kolkata...

No, l am thinking...

About Piku? No point, that

Sourobh is already married now...

...you didn't like him, so what's

the need of this 'thinking now'?

l am thinking...when

will you spare me...

...so?

I can't believe, you've

come here too.

Ok, so if you've such

issues with me I'll go.

Last night I saw you seeing Piku...

Can I go Dad?

No...

I was looking at you...

Oh really, say the truth

or else you'll be in trouble.

Want enema?

Look I am not meditating here...

I am ready for fourth marriage also.

If you've done little then

do the rest later...

Lets end this here for today.

So Mr. Choudhry,

ready to go back to Delhi?

Oh done with badminton?

Yeah why?

So who all are there in your family?

My sister,

mother and father passed away...

...father died?

Death, who said death? Who's death?

Rama's father, he died...

Not now, long back...

What was the problem?

No problem as such...

Died without any problem?

I mean he had cancer...

So cancer is a problem, why

are you saying he had no problem?

Well he had cancer

but it was removed...

Oh ok. Where was it?

- Throat...

Throat, smoking is it?

Where are you going?

So they must've done tracheotomy

for him to breathe.

Did they reconstruct Food pipe also?

Ya something like that...

What do you mean

something like that?

I mean... You should know what

all the doctor did.

Dad everyone is not

so interested in all this...

...this medical nonsense

has become your hobby.

Hey I am not talking to you...

I am also not talking to you!

Then...

Hey, listen where are

you going, then what happened?

Nothing...he was in the ICU...

and then on a ventilator and...

VENTILATOR?! You shou | d've

not put him on a Ventilator...

...it is wrong.

Piku what he did to his father,

you don't do that with me.

I'm telling you. You see, all

this is commercial business...

..professional money making,

why did you allow them to do it?

Allow...l mean...l was...

No no but why...why did you allow

them to do this to your father...

Look my father was on death bed...

...doctor said we needed

to put him on the ventilator...

...so what could've I done?

I couldn't have said

no...it's not my decision...

Of course it is! Do you've any idea how

much pain your father went through?

His whole body must've

been pricked with needles...

...drip, blood, catheter

down below, ECG machine...

...it's inhuman treatment...you

tortured your father!

You get up if the Nurse picks you up...

be at her mercy to change your clothes...

...and if you've passed motion in those

clothes, then just keep lying down...

...waiting for her again...

Oh gosh no!

Look Piku, when I die, don't do all this

with me l want to die in peace!

Do you always have to over do it!

But I was only telling

you what not to do with me...

Why did he go?

Did I say anything to him? No!

Rana brother...

...grand pa has sent this

for you and has called you down...

You don't need to be sorry, I didn't

feel bad. I am fine, it's ok.

Sorry? For?

Check that our

water pump is not working...

...you did civil right?

You did civil engineering check it...

What? There...water...water

pump...its not working...

Ok fine...l know but I am getting late

so you call anyone else l need to go...

You're going now?

Who who's going? No

no how can you go?

head tank or in the bathroom...
