What the Fish Page #4

---

- Aren't you getting late?

Goodnight.

You can keep another beer,

if you like. - No.

Is that all?

Ravi, you're always

looking for a thrashing.

If you want to succeed,

then make a foolproof plan.

"Formula of blood... Gopa."

"Chicken Lollypop... Gopa."

"Ice and Cola... Gopa."

"Gopa.."

How about this house?

Yes, let's go in.

Listen. Let's go inside.

If we find anyone, we'll kill him.

Nirav!

Missing me already, darling.

I've boarded the flight.

Have you fed the fish?

- Listen to me, Nirav.

What?

- Somethings wrong here?

What?

I am scared.

Why did you leave me alone?

Baby, just relax.

Tell me what happened?

Someone's outside.

- Outside?

I can hear voices.

- Oh no! Oh no!

What do I do?

- Just stay inside.

Bolt the doors and windows.

I'll call Ravi right now.

Just...

- Nirav.

"Gopa's sweetheart's out of town."

"He's calling me over the phone."

Hello. - Hello, brother.

Were you sleeping?

What else do you expect"

...a decent man to do at this hour?

- Correct.

Sorry.

Can you pay a visit to aunt's house?

Gopa was feeling scared?

If you could just go take a look, I..

- Really?

Yes.

- Of course.

You're my brother.

I've got to help you out.

Thank you.

Thank you.

I'll call you later.

The flight's taking off.

O Kay; bye'

Play safe.

Ravi. -What happened, Gopa?

Nirav called.

There were men outside.

I heard their voices. - Where?

Towards the bedroom or hall.

Stay inside. I'll go take a look.

Who was it?

- There's no one there, Gopa.

No!

- That's the problem with you girls.

You panic too soon.

Go get some sleep.

Don't be scared.

And, goodnight.

Lock the door. Bye.

Can you stay here?

I am scared.

Actually...I've to

visit the temple tomorrow.

It's a Tuesday.

Please, please, please..

- Fine.

You can sleep inside..

"And, I'll sleep in the hall outside.

- Thank You.

It's okay.

- Sorry.

That's fine.

Ravi. Ravi. Ravi.

What happened?

I can hear voices again.

Gopa...why are you so scared?

It's okay.

I am here now.

What are you afraid of?

There's nothing to be afraid of.

I mean...

Lock the door from inside.

Inside?

- Yes.

No. I'll sleep out here.

- Here?

Fine.

You sleep here...

And, I'll sleep there.

On the chair.

Sonia. Please, Sonia.

Don't leave me, Sonia.

No, Sonia. Please. No!

What happened?

I sprained my neck.

Wait. I'll fix it.

Thank you.

Gopa, I'm bothering

you...at this hour.

Yes...yes...that's it.

Don't mind...

but, can I ask something.

Of course.

Who is Sonia?

It's personal.

Feeling better now.

I'll go sleep inside. Alone.

Inside?

- Where else?

Sleep here, please.

Okay...then,

I'll bring the mattress out..

...and sleep here.

- Okay.

What happened?

Gopa, what happened?

I am scared, Ravi.

- No, Gopa.

No need to be scared.

I am with you.

Don't cry.

I won't let anything happen to you.

I am with you.

I won't leave you.

Don't leave me, Gopa.

Please.

Please, don't go.

Gopa

"Fish is the queen of the water."

"Water is its life."

"Fish is the queen of the water."

"Water is its life."

"Food and water."

"Food and water."

Gurmit.

Only 5000 this month.

Daddy, its exam time now.

This is not the season.

But brother, I've my vacations.

You didn't do too well in studies.

At least do something useful here.

One message, Kusum.

Facebook.

Sir, can I get this fish?

I want same to same.

Parrot fish.

You might? - Might.

We've many varieties.

Fishes are all the same.

Come with us.

Isn't that what you want?

Parrot fish.

Doesn't that look a little bigger?

One, two, three, four, five, six..

It's got less spots too.

Look, they are all the same.

There's always a little difference.

And this is the only one we've left.

Spotless gem.

Fine, give it.

How much?

Its 2..

- 2000 for a pair.

But, 1000 for you.

Isn't 1000 too much?

Inflation is on the rise.

Petrol prices have gone up.

And this is an imported one.

This one's from Canada.

Fine. Fine. Give it.

1000 is fine.

Times are bad.

You can't tell fake from real.

I could've bought 3 kilos

of fish with that money.

That's how you make a sale.

Order more from Mahipalpur.

When there's supply,

there will be demand too.

Let's go, Chinky.

Pammi, Kusum wants to know..

"Whether your father's left or not.

What the fish!

Where did you go

so early in the morning?

Meeting.

I had to show the house to a client.

You work so hard, don't you?

That's true.

- How about a head massage?

Yes. You don't need to ask.

Harder.

Don't stop.

Why will I stop?

A wife's duty is to

look after her husband.

Hold on. Stop.

- What happened?

Did I accidentally

pull your hair? - No.

Gopa, when did we get married?

Last night.

Last night?

- You were right now.

For a girl,

holy matrimony is, when she..

...surrenders herself

completely to her lover.

And anyway, a true companion

always protects his love.

That's the true bond.

Sibling-bond.

- Stop joking.

I am not joking.

Weren't you supposed to marry Nirav..

But we aren't married.

We shouldn't keep him in the dark?

I will tell him

everything about our love.

So that we can start a new life.

- Statue, Gopa.

Look..

Don't ever do that.

He's on a tour.

- So?

These tours can kill him.

You see...Nirav's

already a depressed soul.

Nirav?

- Yes.

Back in college, if he

ever scored low in any subject"

...he would say "I want to die.

Commit suicide".

That's how he is.

Even I felt he was strange.

- Exactly.

Think, Gopa.

What if he passed away

in front of the client?

He won't crack the deal either.

Forget the deal.

Dead body.

He's in Madhurai, isn't he?

We'll have to get it from Madhurai.

And then,

there's the hassle with the police.

And the police never spares anyone.

Ravi!

I never thought about that.

Thank you.

It's okay.

- I love you.

I love you.

- Yeah...okay.

You know, our home...will be white,

with pink curtains.

Hold on.

I just remembered.

I've to meet a client.

Show him a house.

I'll be right back.

- But, breakfast.

Stay here.

- Statue.

What the..

What is it, Gopa?

What is this?

Here you go?

- What do I do?

You don't eat it, stupid.

Keep it in your purse.

Fortune will smile over you.

Can I go?

I am getting late.

Keep your phone. Please.

Ask the priest for

an auspicious time"

...for the marriage.

- Okay.

Don't forget to eat your lunch.

- Yes.

And I've no traits.

- But, I do.

To copy this caller-tune,

press star..

Yes.

- Sumit.

I handled things last night.

But, Nirav's your friend as well.

Now you take care of her.

She's such a bore.

No way, brother.

Ash has been fired.

Why do people take responsibility

if they can't handle it?

Now, I'll have to

rework her entire story.

But, she's clinging on to me.

Listen, is the house okay?

What can happen to the house?

- And the money plant?

The plant behind the fishbowl.

Is the fish okay?

- It is okay.

Don't start boring me.

Aunt's special instructions.

I'll call you later.

- Listen" - Okay, bye.

Bloody selfish.
