Salaam Namaste Page #10

How am l bothering you?

- You show me your face. Eveyday.

You live in the same house.

lsn't that enough ?

Just get lost !

l can't believe l gave up my

restaurant for this madness.

What did you say ?

l wasted all my savings just to

live here with you, in this house, okay ?

The money that l had saved up

for my restaurant.

lt's all gone, finished, over. And for what ?

A living room full of your sh*t !

Was it my idea ? To live together,

to rent this house ?

l can't leave my bloody job because

l took a loan for this house.

l'm going to work and

l'm studying in this condition.

And you jerk, instead of helping me,

you're giving me attitude ?

What ?

lt kicked.

What ?

lt kicked.

lt's the first time.

l can't feel.. Oh my God !

Yes.

Oh crap ! Again. Can you feel it ?

- Of course l can feel it

lt's happening in my stomach.

Four butter nans,

one butter daal.

Mixed vegetables please.

One butter chicken.

Something's off, boss.

Something's off ?

lt's okay. - Okay ?

Just handle it, man.

Done ? - Almost, boss.

Garnishing okay ?

Looking like a mistress, right ?

Listen, are you married ?

Yes.

Any kids ?

One son. But my life's a

living hell now. - Why ?

He's sick for at least a couple

of days evey week, cries all night.

Then there's the cost of food, clothes,

toys, l can't even afford a holiday.

Exactly. So you were happier before ?

-Hundred percent ! ln fact..

..l was happier before marriage !

No tension at all.

Then one shouldn't mary, right ?

- No way.

But there's one thing.

Sometimes when my son smiles at me,

or grabs my finger..

..it feels like everything's okay.

All my tensions drain away.

That feeling can only come from a kid.

l think he likes you.

You're having a baby ?

First baby ?

Yes.

You know, l think you're going

to make a great father.

Okay, bye - Bye.

Here are the books you ordered,

Nick. - Thanks, John.

What are you doing ?

l thought it was a thief !

- Thief ! Do you remember that..

..someone else also lives in this house?

- Yes, but you were being so quiet.

You always come in and switch

on the lights, the tv..

..Your door was open.

l was tying not to disturb you.

You were tying to.. what ?

Now why are you awake

at this hour ? - l'm going out.

Now ? Where ?

- What do you care ?

Come on, take it easy.

here are you going at eleven pm?

- l want to eat ice cream.

Ah, no problem.

Here. lce cream.

No. l want to have Ben and Jery's

Belgian Dark Chocolate ice cream.

But l thought you didn't

like chocolate ice cream ?

Damn it Nick, you won't understand.

These things happen during a pregnancy.

When you have a craving..

you can't think of anything else.

All l can think of is Ben and

Jery's Belgian Dark Chocolate ice cream.

Okay, okay. Get it tomorrow.

- No Nick. l want it now !

What do you care ? Go to sleep !

Oh fine ! Do what you want.

Chocolate, right ?

What are you doing ?

You wanted chocolate

ice cream, right ?

No, Nick.

Ambar, it's really late.

Please don't confuse me.

l want Ben and Jery's Belgian Dark

Chocolate ice cream.

Where the hell will we find

Ben and Jery's at this hour ?

We'll find something.

lt'll be open in St Kilda.

- lt'll be closed.

lt'll be open, l know.

Sh*t ! That's impossible.

l mean, how can they be shut ?

Are they allowed to close down ?

lt's only what, a quarer to twelve!

The whole world wants to eat ice cream.

What if it's an emergency ?

lt could be a matter

of life and death.

And they're shut ?

Okay sory, but where will

you find it at this time ?

Have something else.

Nick, l have to have Ben..

- And Jery's Belgian Dark Chocolate...

l know, l know. But where ?

- l don't care.

What's going on man ?

Fifteen to midnight,

two souls on a roll..

..what's goin' on ?

When the roads are asleep

where are we going to..

..what's goin' on ?

Why, who asked you out ?

Why are you wagging behind me ?

What's your bother,

l'll do what l want.

Who are you to preach ?

l'm on my way, what's up with you ?

What's goin' on ?

Just fifteen to midnight

and two souls on a roll..

what's goin' on ?

Stop acting high-and-mighty.

lt's a big bad world out here.

Where'd you learn to talk big ?

Don't ty to save me from the world.

Why girl, you'll regret being gone.

You run now, but you'll return.

What l know is, once your're

gone, you never return.

l'm on my way, what's up with you ?

What's goin' on ?

Come tell me this..

..why do you care ?

Who cares, you can get lost.

Live like a loner, if you can.

l'll live a loner,

if l got to go it alone.

l'll take my losses

and l'll get along.

Then get going,

..getting along, alone,

go the long haul.

You ever had that dream about going

to work wearing no clothes ?

No ? l've seen it often.

And l feel exactly like that right now.

Two Ben and Jery's Belgian Dark

Chocolate ice creams please.

Anything else sir ?

- No, just lots of it.

Thank you.

Stop it, people will think

l'm doing something to you.

You know what ?

l completely understand.

Thanks.

You're not eating. lsn't it nice ?

lt's perfect.

There's a cookey show on TV.

l'd really like to watch it.

Can l have the cable please ?

Sure. - Thanks.

Thank you.

l'll keep the volume down. l promise.

Thanks.

Do you want to watch something ?

No thanks.

Nick, l need to talk to you.

Tell me.

Nick you're not doing anything wrong.

You're not ready for a marriage and kids

and you're being completely honest.

You're doing just what's right for you

and what you want for yourself.

Who can understand this better than me ?

l've always lived my life for myself.

l've never thought about

how it might affect my mom and dad.

Who knows, maybe this is retribution.

Maybe it's all karma.

And only you could give me this lesson.

Because l've never loved anybody as much.

Look Amby, l.

Till now, it was all about me,

my happiness, my pain, my life.

Not anymore, now everything has changed.

Now it's all about my baby.

This life that's growing inside me.

l can do anything for this baby, Nick.

l can endure anything.

But l can't imagine my baby being hur.

l'd decided never to ask you for

anything for either me or my baby.

But today l've gathered the

courage to ask you for something.

What ?

l have a disorder in my blood.

Anything serious ?

No. l'm thalassemia minor.

This doesn't affect me in any way.

But if you..

if you have this disorder too,

then there could be

complications for the baby.

The child could be

thalassemia major.

l don't have any complications.

Trust me. l am fine.

Nick, get a blood test, please.

What ? No way.

l'm telling you there's

nothing wrong with me.

l've never had a problem

in my life. l'm fine.

Nick you can't be sure

unless you have the test.

Please, for me, for my baby,

Nick. lt's a small blood test.

Please, l beg of you.

Look Amby, ty and understand,

l've never taken a blood test in my life.

l won't be able to do it.

l'm sory.

l asked you for such a little thing..
