When Harry Tries to Marry Page #6

- Thanks.

- Listen.

l know l should wait to be

surprised and all of that,..

...but l can't wait a moment longer

to find out about my Harry.

And he's been so...

Quiet.

So l was wondering if you could

tell me everything that...

...l need to know.

- Everything?

Girl to girl.

Would you mind?

lt would be my pleasure.

Harry...

...is a really great guy, and you two

are perfect for each other.

And l'm sure that he will make

you really happy.

Don't worry. l'll make him

happy, too.

Theresa, l know it's not

my place to ask,..

...but you and Harry, you're a lot

more than friends, aren't you?

Actually, he has always

been yours.

Will you excuse me?

What just happened?

- Hi.

- Some party, huh?

Yeah. l mean,

Mum really went all out.

Hey.

Thank you.

So, since when

did you start to drink?

l thought l'd take your advice,

and live a little.

l can't believe my little baby

is getting married.

Dad, l hope l have your

blessings for tomorrow.

l really need to hear that

right about now.

Harry, your mother

was a good woman.

Don't be a prick to Nita

Like l was to your mother.

- l need to ask you something.

- Before you do, l need to confess.

Something happened--

- Harish.

l know that you care for her.

And l also know...

...that you will care for me the same

way once we're married.

But we've only just met,

and there's no way...

...that l can compete.

Especially if we haven't even--

Please. Let me explain.

Theresa and l are just friends.

Just good friends.

And what happened between her

and l is inexcusable, l know, but--

Nita.

- lt's okay.

l'm already yours.

- l can't.

Really?

l think we should

go back downstairs.

Harish.

Just promise me one thing.

From tomorrow onwards,..

...everything will be perfect.

Yeah, l promise.

So, Harry, can you tell us

who you chose for your...

...arranged marriage and why?

You"re my sweet

cuddly- wuddly bear.

This poor fish is not going to be

swimming in the tank much longer.

Why do people bother

getting married anymore?

Darling, you"re just

going through a phase.

Why did l come halfway across

the world to marry someone...

...that l don"t even love?

How do you know you picked

the right woman if you have...

...nothing to compare her to?

Sometimes nice boys

do not so nice things.

Can you live with that

the rest of your life?

Sometimes you just

want time to stand still.

Deal or no deal?

Don"t be a prick to Nita

like l was to your mother.

Don"t be a prick to Nita.

Don"t be a prick.

A prick.

l feel...

Oh, my god!

Harish, are you okay?

Someone get him

some water, please.

First of all, l'd like to thank

Nita's parents for this lovely,..

...lovely ceremony.

And of course, my parents, as well.

Ever since my parents got

divorced, l've wanted to get married.

Arranged married, of course.

And so l thought if...

...l live my life analytically,

l could avoid from getting hurt,..

...and becoming

lonely and spiteful.

So...

l played it safe and

hid under my bed.

Like l used to as a child.

- What are you saying, harish?

- What l'm saying is,..

...some months ago,

life was so simple.

Now l've...

l've complicated it very much

for myself,..

...for you and for everyone

else here today.

- You're calling off the wedding?

- Nita if l didn't,..

...l'd only be marrying you

for all the wrong reasons.

When you finally found out why,

you would hate me...

...for the rest of our lives.

And l'd rather live with...

...you possibly hating me

than live with that.

l just hope that you can find it in

your heart to forgive me.

l'm so sorry.

l don't hate you.

ln fact, l understand.

l really do.

Maybe you just talked yourself

into getting married...

...because your parents were

trying to talk you out of it.

Just like l let my parents do to me.

To rush me.

- Are you reneging?

- With all due respect, sir--

- First you crush my little flower.

- Father, please don't.

lt's okay--

- Quiet.

Then you denigrate my family,

make a mockery...

...of our traditions.

l'm going to kill you, you bastard.

Father, please don't.

Father, just

stop it, please.

You"re probably wondering

how things turned out.

Well, the commissioner

blacklisted mum,..

...and vowed she"d never see

another building project...

...pass inspection for

as long as they both lived.

Theresa shoots for

an online fashion magazine,..

...and she"s doing so well.

l love it, l love it.

As far as mum and l go, l forgave

her for turning my marriage...

...into a business plan.

After all, mum is mum,..

...and she did raise me after dad

ran off to chase women.

What are you

waiting for?

To prove his point, Louis opened

a gourmet Coffee shop...

...serving French blend, house blend

light blend, Columbian,..

...and of course, serenade.

Dad married Angela,..

...and they had a baby girl

who they named Love.

l"m crazy about her.

Having a baby sister is so fun.

And dad actually seems

to be behaving himself.

You guys are unbelievable.

Stop it!

lt took a while, but Nita and l

became friends...

...on Facebook.

And last l checked, she"s dating

a guy who also loves...

...children and animals.

Harry.

Well, here"s the part where you

probably expect me...

...to get down on my knee

and ask Theresa to marry me.

Don't people have to be dating

to exchange Valentine's day gifts?

What's wrong with two friends

exchanging gifts on Valentine's day?

- Come on. Let's walk.

- Where to?

- My place.

- Your place?

Yeah. l'll cook for you.

Okay, l won't cook for you.

But the truth is, l"m learning

a lot more about life...

...by staying single and learning

who l really am.

You see, l"ve made it

a point to live a little,..

...and see where life takes me.
