What the Fish Page #6

---

Save it...for Bhalla.

Don't worry.

And I want no complaints.

Never.

I'll go change.

Drop me at GK later.

Hurry up then.

The door opened up..

...like it was door

to a moving aeroplane.

And out came a witch.

She had long nails.

Red eyes.

And there was blood

dripping from her nails.

And she dashed out of the house.

Come on, mom.

You must be jet-lagged.

These are new terms.

You can ask your father.

I've travelled around the world.

I never get jetlag.

Mom. Don't get upset.

The witch is gone now.

Don't know.

I'm preparing for her.

So...where's that witch Suzy?

She's working.

She's working night-shift today.

And what are you doing?

Find out what night-shift.

Forget it, mom.

It's all about trust.

You won't get it.

Mom, do you have a sore throat?

Mom.

Don't you dare give

me any suggestions?

I am not like you

or your father. - Mom..

...who flee from their

responsibilities. - Mom..

Mom. Are you okay?

- I'm fine.

Father and son were

always after my life.

And now,

your aunt's joined them too.

Mom, listen"

Vashudha. What did I ever do to you?

"No one understands...no one knows."

"Only the heart understands love."

"No one understands."

"I console my heart...all day."

"I can't share this secret either."

"Someone take me to my beloved."

"Someone take me to my beloved."

"With any effort or excuse."

"No one understands...no one knows."

"Only the heart understands love."

"No one understands."

Raj pal.

You forgot.

I found out only after

I visited your hostel.

You didn't pay me

a visit for a week.

What are you saying?

I sent you the money.

I am not asking for the money.

I helped my brother out.

Now, I need your help too.

Come in. Let's sit.

I heard...you're trying

to get in Bhalla's good books.

Look, Hooda.

Your career's come to an end.

You don't listen.

You always interfere in between.

I am not talking about myself.

I've a friend.

- Friend?

Is she a girl?

Family friend.

Nothing much.

She only wants transfer

in the Delhi team.

She's in the Manipur team.

But, there's much

growth out there.

That's all.

Look, Hood a.

I know we're close.

But this isn't an easy job.

And, it's either her or me.

And, what's the real truth?

She doesn't look

like a family friend.

Forget it.

Well, have you seen that MMS clip?

Which one? You mean DPS?

- Yes.

I've found another one.

Want to see.

- Of course.

Take a look.

"No one understands...no one knows."

"I can't share this secret either."

What did I ever do to you?

Why are you doing this with me,

you dog?

Are you going to talk to Bhalla?

I will. I will.

Remember...your life's in my hand.

"Touch it and it'll be scared,

take it out and it'll die."

Sonny. Can I get this one?

- Yes.

Great. Pack me one.

What are you staring at?

How much for it, sonny?

The name's Pammi.

2500 for a pair.

1500 for single.

1500 for one?

What are you saying?

Be reasonable.

It's greatly in demand.

Fixed price.

Let me know if you want it.

Don't get angry, Pammi.

Listen.

I want that fishbowl as well.

How much is that for?

- Rs.750.

Why don't you be reasonable?

It's beyond my budget.

Take the small one.

Rs.1750 for the fish and bowl.

Want it?

Fine, pack it. Deal.

Sonny. Where can I get this plant?

It's not for sale,

you need to steal it.

That's how it flourishes. Get it.

I see.

Hail Lord.

You rascal..

Mrs. Hoollar.

The door opened up..

...like it was door

to a moving aeroplane.

I was thrown back.

Bumped into the table.

And a witch came out.

Her face was covered

with her tresses.

She was growling.

She had long nails,

and blood was dripping from it.

Her head was turned around.

What about her neck?

It was long and round.

- I see.

I said she was a witch.

- Okay, okay.

Did you expect me

to invite her for tea?

And asked "How are you Ms. Witch".

"Why take the trouble of coming

here?" "You could've called me.

Sudha.

- Will I lie to you?

Well, I've heard.

Witches have a negative influence..

...on everything around them.

- Exactly.

I'm tired of explaining

the same thing.

But, no one's prepared to listen.

Jaidev's stuff are back.

Ashtray. Pipe.

Even the cushion covers

which I threw away last year.

Sudha. Everyone would've know..

...If you had thrown that cover out.

I guess you're getting

forgetful everyday.

Mrs. Hullar.

Misti's bowl has shrunk too.

You see, Sudha.

It's said that,

if these ghosts and witches"

"have a good nature,

everything returns to normal.

And, if it's bad,

everything turns bad.

How would

I know what her nature was?

You will know.

Remember Meena who

lives at Lodhi Road.

Her home was infested

by an evil spirit as well.

See.. - She went to

Kedarnath the same night.

She met a sage out there.

He made an entire list immediately"

...of people who could've

cast this spell on her.

What happened then?

What else?

It turned out to be her neighbours,

the Malhotras.

I'll make a list too.

Jaidev.

Suzy.

Vasudha.

Mrs. Gill.

Mrs. Malhotra.

Mrs. Punya.

Mrs... Hello.

Mrs. Hullar, are you listening?

Who else can it be?

I mean...do you know someone.

- Yes, I do.

Do you want me to send him over?

- Of course.

Send him over.

Please help yourself, sir.

Fish fritter, especially for you.

- Of course.

Look. You can't actually know..

...a boxer by sitting here.

A boxer's tested in the ring.

Sir, you know his record.

Look. - Forget the records.

Who has the time to

look at records?

What record did Viju

have when he came to me?

Nothing!

I just knew that

the boy has potential.

And I blessed him with my grace.

He's got the Midas touch.

He can make anyone's life successful.

Sir, please bless me your grace too.

I could...but such decisions..

...should be taken carefully.

After all, it's the question

of the country's honour.

And my reputation.

He's got a great reputation.

Sir, I assure you.

He'll never disappoint you.

I see.

Fine.

Trials are starting two

days later in my academy.

Come see me. Bathroom.

- What?

Where is it?

Sir...this way.

Take his blessings.

Fine, fine.

He's got a fine academy.

You'll have to pay

a small donation fee.

5 lakhs. - Sir,

can't you be a little reasonable?

Bhalla sir.

He's asking for a discount.

What are you saying, sir?

The money's ready.

Here you go.

Sir...is there a place

vacant in the women's team?

Women's team?

The position depends

on supply and demand.

If the supply's good..

...Bhalla sir will definitely

make a position for her.

He's so talented.

Sir, how much?

Half donation and the rest later.

I didn't get you, sir?

He's new at this.

He won't get it so soon.

Send the girl over.

Bhalla sir will

explain her everything.

He explains so well.

Honda.

- How was the meeting?

I'll get it done?

- How much?

Say something.

He was saying 2.5 and..

- And?

What else?

She'll be admitted if..

She's got the talent.

You're amazing.

When are you joining the team?

I'm joining the camp

day after tomorrow.
