l came here to surprise you.

l thought you'd be happy to see me.

l am happy.

Yeah, you look it.

Natasha...

this is my bachelor trip.

And you know,

l want to spend this time with my friends.

Really? Laila is your friend?

She's our diving instructor.

l told you on the phone.

And the other one... Nancy?

Nuria.

Whatever!

Oh God, Natasha!

l just met her this morning!

She was kind enough to give us her room.

We'll probably never see each other again!

That's just perfect!

No one will ever know what happened.

ls that why you are here?

The apology on the phone was

just an excuse to get the address.

How dare you, Kabir?

- That's really mature...

- Shut up!

Who is it?

lmran.

Come in.

- Hi.

- Hey.

l'm sorry, l just need my bag.

Don't apologise, it's totally cool.

Thanks.

We've made dinner plans,

would you like to join us?

- Actually...

- Yes.

Definitely, sounds like fun.

Okay, l'll call when we're heading out.

We don't have to go.

l don't want your friends to think l'm a witch!

Witch alert!

Our holiday is in danger.

Who is next?

Even l love you very much.

Dude, l can't believe Natasha's here.

l'm shocked!

Why? What's the big deal?

Laila...

your fiancee can't crash your bachelor party.

That's the only rule!

Rule?

- You guys are so stupid.

- What?

Stupid?

You're stupid.

Natasha hates you.

What?

Yes, she said...

ls Laila your friend?

She asked you that?

No, she asked Kabir.

l was eavesdropping outside the door.

There that Natasha.

Of course.

- Here these tomatoes.

How do you say,

'can l come in', in Spanish?

Dude, what're you doing?

Don't be stupid!

Yes?

See you in the lobby.

l want to learn Flamenco.

lt looks like so much fun.

Laila, you live in Spain?

No, in London.

So does Arjun.

Yeah.

Kabir and l will be there after this holiday.

We should definitely get together.

Yeah, we should.

l'd love to

but l'm off to Morocco from here.

For a month.

Wow!

l think all of you should come to Seville with us.

l'm going back to London tomorrow.

You only came here for a day?

Yeah.

Kabir wants to hang with the two of you.

l don't want to disturb your plans.

Don't be silly, Natasha.

You're hardly a disturbance.

- That's really sweet, lmran.

Thank you.

But, Kabir said it's a miracle to get you two together.

And you have to attend the wedding.

No excuses.

100 percent!

Of course!

Excuses...

Could we get the more the red the wines?

Arjun, the translation into the Espanols?

lmran, please!

lt's because of such behaviour

that lndians have a bad reputation.

Will you please tell him?

lmran, don't do it.

Chee!

What chee?

He is right!

l agree with you.

lmran, it's wrong.

No.

l'm the very the sorry

No, l'm sorry.

Not funny!

- Been to Morocco?

- Morocco? No!

- Good night, guys.

- Good night.

Let's go?

lt's amazing.

ln a bit.

Moshi moshi.

- Will you do me a favour?

- No way!

Why don't you both take a long walk?

Dude, it's late, we're tired.

You must be tired.

- You must be tired.

- No, not really.

That's the spirit.

The night is young.

You two aren't that old either!

l'm sure you'll come up with some plan.

- You sure?

- Come on.

Sh*t! l forgot my phone.

Aren't you on a holiday?

And, you are absolutely right.

Do you have a boyfriend?

No.

Really?

Why not?

You see, the guys l liked...

wanted different things out of life.

What kind of guys do you like?

What's your type?

l don't have a type.

Come on, everyone has a type.

Really?

Like l know, a guy who gets

only three weeks off in a year...

isn't your type.

He can't be anyone's type.

He has no time.

He is a slave.

And one who only thinks of his career,

isn't your type either.

lf he only thinks about his career,

then he is a bore.

Or someone who thinks money

is the most important thing in life.

Like you!

You don't know anything about me.

So?

So, don't judge me.

l wasn't judging you.

l'm merely asking...

does money really make you happy?

l was eight when my dad passed away.

Leaving behind a huge debt for my mother.

Very early l understood that...

only money makes the world go round.

Simple as that.

- l understand, Arjun.

But you still haven't answered my question.

Yes, money makes me happy.

Then why did you cry, the other day...

after the dive?

Has a paycheque ever brought tears to your eyes?

- No,

Think about it.

When you've done so well in life...

are you really happy?

Even today if you feel something is missing...

what is it?

Take time out for things that...

give you genuine joy.

Like cooking.

Well, that's the plan, l mean...

l'll retire at 40 and...

Dude!

How do you know if you'll be alive till then?

Seize the day, my friend.

First, live this day to the fullest.

Then think about 40.

Come on.

My friends don't know

why l made them come here.

l want to meet Salman Habib.

l've never met him.

l have never met my father.

What if he doesn't want to meet me?

Why are we lying here?

l mean, it's ridiculous.

No.

lt's ridiculous that

you've never done this before.

What to do?

l'm stuck with a beautiful home in London.

Only someone who has never slept

under the stars...

can say something so stupid.

Wow man.

l should learn from you.

l feel like l've spent my life in a box.

But you...

you are free.

You're free, Laila.

Arjun...

The only time a man should be in a box...

is when he's dead.

Natasha, stay for a few more days.

You don't mean that.

No, l do.

l don't like it that you're so sad.

What do you expect?

How would you feel if

l just left you and took off with my friends?

You have your own life.

And if you and Sameera

ever decide to go on a trip...

why would l stop you?

And if l told you that

we've met some guys...

and made dinner plans with them, then?

Then what?

l trust you.

Of course l'd want you both to be safe...

but besides that, l won't suspect you.

l'm sorry, but it's easier said than done.

Babe...

you're welcome to stay if you want to.

But if you don't,

l'll drive you to the airport tomorrow.

Good night.

- l'll miss you.

- Take care.

- Stay in touch.

See you at the wedding.

- lmran, can you help me?

- Of course.

For sure. Okay?

- Email me.

- l will.

Good luck.

Hey...

Yesterday was...

l jus..

l had the best time yesterday.

Me too.

And good luck...

for your upcoming adventures.

Thanks.

l'll see you.

Bye.

Ciao.

A thought came alive, but away it hid

lt stole a glance, from under the eyelids

Sometimes from you, sometimes from me

it asked for words to set it free

Words to wear, so from the lips it can flee

A voice it can embrace and sway with glee

But this thought

ls a feeling... just a feeling

Like a fragrance floating in the breeze

A fragrance that is unspeaking

You live with it

l'm aware of it

Out in the open for the world to see

What is this unknown mystery?

Who is it?

Laila?

You'll forgot something?

l hate regrets.

Then you shouldn't have any.

Bye.

Flying away in the open sky...

Are the birds of my dreams
