Waqt: The Race Against Time Page #6

Say something, my son !

- What will l say?

This dad won't let me take a breath,

where will l speak from?

Dad, daddy...

- No, no need to say thank you

lf you must say thank you,

say it to God...

who made my eyes open to reason !

l'm an elephant...

who chews with teeth

he does not show

My son, l still remember

l left my father's house and

came to Bombay with just 35 rupees

To live life on my own terms!

How can l stop my son from doing

the same thing today?

Just as l made my future bright

with my hard work and sincerity...

you must also create an identity

and carve a niche of your own !

Go on, my son. Go ahead!

All right

Those last words of yours were

like divine intervention, daddy!

They contained so much of truth !

What are you trying to say, son?

- All l'm saying, dad...

just as you left your father's house

with just 35 rupees...

l, Aditya lshwarchand Thakur will

leave this house and go away

Now look, son... look...

- No! No... please, dad!

Please don't stop me now.

Because l will not stay here!

l'm useless and spoilt,

but l have a lot of self-respect!

Mom! There are times l'm

so angry with myself!

What have l ever done to make

my daddy feel proud of me?

So much...

- l haven't done! But l will. Now!

Mithi, Ma, and Laxman...

wherever you are!

From today... this moment,

l'm leaving this house

From today, my air-conditioned room

will be Laxman's...

and that dilapidated outhouse

will be mine!

And until l achieve something in life,

l'm not coming back to this house

So give me your blessings, dad!

- Give him your blessings, lshu

You're his father, aren't you?

Bless him for a long life

May you live long

Nice... good game!

We must play it more often !

All right, dad. We're tired.

Pooja and l are going to bed

Good night, dad.

Nice game...

Stay

So l'm an elephant who chews

with teeth you can't see?

l'll now show you how l bite.

Get out

Sorry, Pooja. You can stay here if

you wish to. But he'll have to leave

l'll go with Adi. lt'll be a test

not just for him, but for me too

All right. Move it, Adi...

Go on

Treat every word l just said

as irrevocable

Until you achieve something in life,

you will not step in this house

Now get out and stay out.

Out!

Go away!

Do me a favour,

let's play holi...

The door in the bathroom won't shut!

- That's very good news, baby...

Shut up! l'm going

to give you a whack!

Are you taking all this seriously?

- What else!

lt's all a joke. Daddy will arrive in

a little while and say, ''Let's go home''

But l'm stubborn,

l'm not budging

l'll say, ''No, pay a penalty first.

Send us on another honeymoon''

What do you think?

- You've gone mad! You know that?

You're the one who'll go mad.

Have you heard of Morocco?

Morocco! Not Monaco

Just imagine... you and l.

ln Morocco

''There'll be dawn,

there will be dusk...''

''days will pass by...''

''but l'll forever live and die

for your love''

''There'll be dawn,

there will be dusk...''

''days will pass by...''

''but l'll forever live and die

for your love''

''Ever since l've fallen

in love with you...''

''life has been beautiful''

''Buds have blossomed

even in autumn...''

''in you, l have

found every happiness''

''My eyes have dreams,

dreams of you''

''l'm in your arms,

in sheer ecstasy''

''l shall blossom, no doubt''

''For your love,

l shall live and die''

''For your love,

l shall live and die''

''There'll be dawn...''

''there will be dusk...''

''days will pass by...''

''but l'll forever live and die

for your love''

''l shall live and die

for your love''

Aditya... wake up and

smell the coffee. Okay?

l'm down by the boat, man !

Hello!

- Who?

Question-paper...?

This is Natu here

From that side of the phone?

Stop it now.

Give it to your boss

What...? The phone?

No, cut your hands

and give them to him

The left? Or the right?

- Both of them, you demon !

lf l cut both my hands,

how'll l hold the phone...?

Place the phone on your head.

Cut your hands and give them to him

lf l cut my left hand

with my right hand...

what'll l cut my right hand with?

- Forget it! Never mind!

Let's begin at the beginning!

Give the phone to your boss.

That's it!

But your phone is in your hands.

How can l give it to him?

Give the phone you've got!

Why're you battering my brains...?

Ricky's conned me too!

Such a big surfing board...

Whose phone is it?

Give it to me.

- To you?

Hello

- Send this guy to the war!

He's more dangerous than dynamite!

What did you say to him?

On the phone?

- Go on

Hello

- Where must l go?

The Andamans and Nicobar lslands

Hello! Sister-in-law!

Are you there?

Natu-bhai, we have a

bit of a problem here

l know, l was talking

to it moments ago

No, it's not about Laxman...

when are you returning?

lf the embassy could help it,

they'd send me packing tomorrow

But it might take another month.

But what is the problem?

We've driven Aditya out of the house.

With Pooja

Hey Laxman... why has the fan stopped?

- Has it stopped?

Why has the fan stopped?

- That's what l'm asking...

why has the fan stopped?

- Whom are you asking?

l'm asking you, Laxman ! You !

- l see.. it's me. But what?

Why has the fan stopped working?

Because the lights are off.

- Do we have light here?

Often. But this time

there's no power failure

l've switched it off

Hi, dad... c'mon !

''We're emperors...''

Didn't l tell you dad would come?

- Laxman...

have you brought the broom?

- This one...?

Yes, Laxman. Give that broom to me.

Now, this moment... in these hands

And go on now.

- Where to?

Take this fuse. And hide it

someplace no one can find it

Go on.

- May l hide it behind the fridge?

Give that to me. Take your stuff,

switch on the AC in Adi's room...

and go to sleep. Hurry!

- Now...?

You aren't doing this to

irritate me, are you?

You're the one who's doing things

to irritate us dad, not him

Now please call us home.

We're fed up here

The rent of this room

is 1500 rupees

lf you want electricity, you'll have

to pay an advance of 5000 rupees. Cash

You opened an account for me

which you've already closed

And you gave me a credit-card

which can't be used anymore

Here you are then. Clean the house,

wash the cars, work in the garden...

and you can live here in return.

Fair enough...? Here you are

What if l refuse to do it?

This happens to be my property.

You'll have to vacate it, my son

Whom are you trying to scare?

l have a lot of friends

We'll go and live somewhere. Right?

- No

You've done all you could, Aditya.

l know you very well

This is where you'll have to stay.

You don't have a choice

So the rent of this room is 1500

and the advance is Rs.5000

Until you pay me that sum, you won't

even be able to breathe freely...

let alone having any food.

Okay, my son...?

See you...soon

l'm not coming!

l'm not going to ruin my life,

trying to sell your toys!

You saw how he talked to me?

ls this how a father
