but l couldn't find you

But you arrive today, so suddenly

And you give meaning to

my whole life with your love

l don't understand

l don't know

What you've said to me, Senorita

Even then, l have no idea why

l like what l heard, Senorita

Don't look away

Stay close to me

Take me in your arms

Hope you've understood Senorita

Even a few moments of love

Are never too less

Come let's lose ourselves in them

And forget we ever knew sadness

Senorita, listen to us

Senorita, d'you hear what we're saying

l will never understand

The meaning of the words you dedicate to me

But the warmth of your gaze

Makes me feel like

the most beautiful Senorita

Our eyes looked at each other

And recounted tales of desire Senorita

That for affection and for love

There is only one language

in the world Senorita

Don't look away from me now

Come closer to me

Take me in your arms

Hope you've understood Senorita

Even a few moments of love

Are never too less

Come let's lose ourselves in them

And forget we ever know sadness

Senorita, listen to us

Senorita, d'you hear what we're saying

With every moment that has passed

Oh Senorita

You've managed to win my heart

And that's all there is to it

Don't look away

Stay close to me

Take me in your arms

Hope you've understood Senorita

Even a few moments of love

Are never too less

Come let's lose ourselves in them

And forget we ever knew sadness

Even a few moments of love

Are never too less

Come let's lose ourselves in them

And forget we ever knew sadness

Remember before cable TV

we only had one national channel?

And every Sunday they showed a Hindi film.

Get to the point.

The point is...

before the film there was this animation.

A white circle went round and round

and formed the channel logo.

Do you remember the tune?

Brilliant!

That tune never failed to depress me.

Depressed.

l'm feeling the same right now.

Weekend's over and school begins.

- And you wanted to cancel this trip!

- l know, man!

Can you imagine?

You know what that means?

lt means...

that everything is predestined.

Everything!

This holiday was in our destiny.

You know!

You, me and a**hole.

- Cheers a**hole.

- Where's a**hole?

Cheers!

Laila too.

l was meant to meet her.

You are in louw, my bwoy.

No, man!

You are in louw...

- you Are in louw...

- You are in louw...

- Kabir, man!

Everything is written. Listen to me.

lt's all predestined.

You know what l'm saying?

This moment... us right now...

it's predestined.

Predestined.

Please stop saying, 'predestined...'!

l beg of you!

This too is predestined.

lt's all written.

Alright, we get it.

Listen, we get it, zip!

Come on, man!

lt's true.

lt's predestined...

Guys...

Guys, watch out!

What the hell, guys?

Yes?

- Our man is back.

- Their mobiles are switched off.

- What?

- Yup.

Even Nuria's?

Yes, l'm shocked.

When she knew we'd land up in jail,

she should've kept the phone switched on

lf our bail isn't posted...

we'll be stuck here for days.

Arjun...

tell them l want to make a call.

To whom?

Salman Habib.

The artist?

Yeah.

Why will he come to post our bail?

Are you alright?

Just because we can't reach anyone,

he's losing it.

He's my father.

What?

l am his son.

Just let it go lmran.

Just let it go.

- Hello...

Hello, may l...

speak with Mr. Salman Habib, please?

- Yes?

Sir, l am lmran.

l am Rahila's son.

When did you find out?

A few days after Abu died.

ln his stuff,

l found a letter that Ammi had written to him.

The letter stated that...

Ammi was grateful that

Abu had accepted her and her unborn child.

Why didn't you tell us?

l was a bit shaken up.

What would l tell you?

Abu is not my father.

He loved you a lot.

He really loved you.

And us.

l mean, think about it.

Be it sports day or parent-teacher meetings...

our fathers seldom came,

but Abu was always there.

Well, my father was dead.

So, if he showed up for sports day

it would've been a bit strange.

- You've got bail.

They're here.

Hi.

lmran.

lmran...

l'm Salman.

My friends, Arjun and Kabir.

- Hello.

- Thank you.

Hi... thank you.

You three look pretty hungover.

You're welcome to come over

to my place and freshen up.

Our bags and car are at the hotel.

l'll drive you there.

Come.

- Wow, this is beautiful.

lt's really nice.

Are you always so polite?

lt's absolute rubbish.

Anyone can do that.

This gentleman, my neighbour...

was obsessed with having

his wife immortalised in a portrait.

So, l applied my brush and fulfilled his desire.

And with his money, paid my bills.

So, what are you guys doing in Seville?

Skydiving.

- Really?

- Yeah.

So, you jumped out of a plane and landed in jail?

You could say that.

That apart, what do you do?

Well, l'm a financial broker.

ln London.

Money man.

And you?

My family is in the construction business.

Well, never mind.

Everyone makes mistakes.

That's funny.

You're a Xerox copy of him.

And, what about you?

l write.

What?

l'm a copywriter in advertising.

Writing copy for ads is like

a buffet for the masses.

For instance, this painting is for someone else.

Do you write anything to feed your own soul?

l do.

Sir?

Salman.

Right. We'll be outside.

Your hands are very similar to mine.

Sit.

Do you live alone?

No.

l have a wife.

But she is away... in Paris.

Sit.

And any...

children?

Do you ever come to lndia?

Yes.

l was there four years ago

when my mother passed away.

- Sorry.

- l have a brother there...

but...

we don't meet.

l've often thought about you.

l mean...

that someday, somewhere we might meet.

But l never figured...

what l would say to you.

Just say the truth.

The truth... what is the truth?

Everyone has their own version.

Look... l was...

25 then.

Rahila was a few years younger.

When you're young the future doesn't matter.

We were just kids.

One day...

Rahila told me that she's...

expecting a baby.

l wasn't ready for the responsibility then.

And nor am l now.

So... you just abandoned her?

l guess, you could say that.

Rahila wanted a family,

she wanted to be a mother.

l had other dreams.

l wanted to be an artist.

l wanted to paint...

travel the world.

l loved her but...

she made her choice and l made mine.

That's all.

l found out about you only last year.

But...

you've always known about me.

Did you never want to see me?

l thought it was better this way.

You asked for the truth.

Well, this is it.

Okay.

l... am sorry, lmran.

No, you're not.

ls there something l can do for you?

Apologise only when it comes from here.

When clouds of pain loom in the sky

When a shadow of sadness flickers by

When a tear finds it's way to the eye

When fear keeps the loneliness alive

l try and console my heart

Why is it that you cry? l ask

This is only what life imparts

These deep silences within

Have been handed out to all by time

Everyone's story has a little sorrow

Everyone's share has a little Sunshine

No need for water in your eyes
