What are you doing here?

Good Morning

Fuck!

Fuck!

Fuck! Fuck! Fuck!

Fuck!

Fuck!

19-20 by Mizanur Rahman Aryan

Let's get to it, boss!

What do you mean? Where the hell is Apu?

He must be stuck in traffic. Let's start without him

We have a presentation in 10 minutes. And you're saying he's not here yet.

He worked all night working on the presentation.

He will be here any minute. Let's just go.

How long would you keep saving his ass, dude?

Don't be daft, boss.

Trust me, the presentation is ready. You'll see when he gets here.

When I get back to the office later, I'd fetch his attendance.

He must be punished!

He can't just work for an agency with such a casual approach.

I know, boss.

There he is. What time is it?

Damn! I am busted!

Why are you wearing a helmet?

Oh! Hell!

I had it to.. protect myself

What do you need protection from?

Last night, I had a dream that..

you threw a coffee mug towards me!

Dreams right before the dawn usually come true, So..

That means you had a good night's sleep.

Are you kidding? Last night we had Barca facing Real.

Oh I get it. You're off due to Barca's defeat? Why do you back a team like Barca anyway?

Then when did you have time to work on the presentation?

Presentation?

You know, that..

..presentation we worked on yesterday?

Oh that one! -Hand it over to me.

That's inside a pen drive.

Ok. Hand me the pen drive!

The pen drive..

..is attached to the key to my bike downstairs.

You know Tagore?

Hm

Do you know how he became one of the greats?

Through his powerful ancestry.

Through discipline, Apu. Discipline.

Creative minds can't run without discipline.

The pitch is in 5 minutes.

Get to the board room and set up everything immediately.

I'll have a word with Mr. Shahriar. Then I'll join you. Cool?

Thanks for saving my lousy ass one more time, brother.

What do we do about the presentation now?

Salam, Mr. Shahriar

-Nice! How're you doing?

Done. You can have a share of my lovers.

Yeah right! Keep your lovers to yourself.

There's a Warfaze gig coming up. You are my date.

Of course, we're brothers, remember?

Himel -Yes boss?

Make sure he doesn't mess this up.

-Don't worry, boss. I got this. -We better not lose this client.

See. he is fooling around with his phone.

Remember I told you? It's just a casual relationship. You don't seem to be serious about our relationship. [Sohana Noor]

I'm not going into a committed relationship.

Good Morning. Hey! How're you guys doing?

-We're good.

Thank you very much for coming. -Thank you

Sorry for the delay. You know, the traffic in these peak hours?

No. That's ok.

The concept will be presented by Mr. Apu, our senior copywriter.

Apu? -Hu?

You live in a flat.

You notice domestic violence

at your next door.

What we usually see in a marital relationship.

Every day you hear the husband..

.. beating up his wife like an animal.

You are also well aware of their little kid,

who doesn't know anything about this world yet,

utterly unaware of his parents' problems.

But he is being brought up in that shithole.

What do we do? We do nothing.

We blindside these issues cz that would be an invasion of their privacy.

Every day these things happen around us

that we prefer to blindside all the way. We see with our eyes closed.

We hear, but we act deaf.

Basically, our subconscious sleepwalks through our lives.

So from the social responsibility standpoint, our slogan will be

"Don't sleepwalk through your life."

In his 4Ps of marketing, Philip Kotler said that

a brand has to be more vocal about social surroundings.

They have to take more responsibility.

They can not stay silent.

Let's come to what we're selling.

Coffee.

Coffee energizes. Coffee rejuvenates.

From that perspective, the brand proposition can be

"Wake up. Wake them up"

Our motto is to raise awareness. To speak up.

To raise your voice.

Let's not be silent no more.

Let's talk things out.

We have to tell them..

Don't let your subconscious sleepwalk anymore.

It's time you better walk up. and awaken your surroundings.

It's not bad.

What do you think, Sheela?

Crock of shit!

Pardon?

It means the person coming up with this idea needs to learn the basics of Brand Marketing.

Hey! Come closer!

Do I have horns on head?

What about a tail? -I can't see any.

Then why does this lady think I'm a bull without a brain?

How the hell do we know? Why do we care?

No. Listen. The problem is-- Apu! Stop.

We prepared it according to what we were briefed.

Now when we're pitching the idea, they are-

My team gave you a clear briefing.

So is what we pitched.

-Apu! -That's what you think!

You think so too!

Take a moment to think about it this way, brother.

I mean... did you see it?

Boss?

Where the hell is Apu? Why isn't he taking my call?

And where are you guys? -We're just hanging out, Boss..

Is he there with you, now?

Yes Boss he is.

I'd love to take a look at how you guys are getting promotions this time around.

Ok Boss.

I'm your Boss, that's right!

Now put Apu on the phone!

Mr. Naushad

Boss, Apu left for mens just a while ago!

Dude, it's a matter of my career..

That old hag threatened you with promotion and shit, huh?

He can shove it up--

I'm also getting married, bra..

My friend..

There is plenty of fishes in the water, but there is only one Apu, mind it.

Finish it!

Spoil your lungs with the butt.

Black Coffee.. Hmm..

So that's what it is about.

And What is that?

As always..

Why someone is so bitter.

It just reminded me of one of my aunts.

She got bit by a snake, you know?

Poor snake...

..died there and then.

Aunt was a Black Coffee person too.

Are you here to pick a fight or something?

Oh, not at all!

I'm here to forgive you.

Sorry?

I usually get batshit crazy when someone questions my creativity.

But I forgive you. -Oh!

And what did I do to deserve such privilege?

The woman who wears a small tinsel on her forehead

..should always be forgiven.

You're too late

I am no more a teenage girl to get convinced by flirtations.

I see. -You know my name, right?

Sheela?

Do you know it's meaning?

Some kind of stone..?

I bet you got it now.

How stubborn I can be!

This stone-cold woman..

..is not easy to melt.

So.. go back to the office.

Bring something new.

Or else we've to go somewhere else.

Where else would you-

"Our first meeting was like in those poems...

I was stranded like a fragmented sentence...

right next to a semicolon."

The poet was still looking for words..

In frustration, one by one..

Putting them in his notebook

I am also reading, in awe

And then you arrive, as a word shining like a full moon

Words started falling into places.

The sentences came together.

And in this way, within the poem,

as two words meant for each other wrote our stories.

So Mr. Poet?

Why are you so pissed?

Do you know when that happens?

When you're judged by girls upside down

That's what pisses you off most.

So who had the privilege to sentence you to death?

Ugh!

Don't ask!

It literally felt like a stone..

was thrown at my face.

No shit! Did you get hurt or something?

Go on! Pull my leg.

Wanna hear what Sir Mirza Galib said in this matter?

Shoot!

He said..

When pain afflicts the heart, medicine needs to be done.

When pain afflicts the heart, medicine needs to be done.

When heart itself is pain...

then what shall we do?

Ah!

When you are hurt in the heart you can be treated.

But if the heart itself is the disease..

then how can you treat that?

"if the heart itself is the disease.."

Every drop of nicotine in my blood

stands for my every gasp of sigh.

What's life if not burning away..

like a cigarette into ashes?

Bravo!

burning away like a cigarette into ashes..

By the way, Sohana called.

Why would she call my mom?

Cz' you don't take her calls!

Sometimes it's Sohana, the other times, it's Nisha..

What the hell is going on, son?

I told them not to call me anymore.

Whatever happened with your parents was a random accident.

That doesn't mean you won't get serious about relationships.

Mom, I always warn them to not get too attached. Yet they attach themselves to me.

Yeah right!

So you want me to believe that you don't give them ideas?

That's entirely up to you.

Apu.. -Hmm

You're not a teenager anymore.

These don't suit you.

It's time you should get your life on track.

But I like to live off track, Mom.

Not everyone is meant to have a perfect life.

"Poems by Shankha Ghosh"

Are you stalking me or something?

What are you? Share Market?

Sorry?

Stocks.. are you some stocks?

I'm sure you're following me around.

As a fan of Shankha Ghosh, you must have known those lines by heart.

For you, I would be ready to hit the streets like a beggar with a pot in my hand,

Only if you were that pretty.

It's 450.

Just a sec.

Get me another copy of this book.

Sorry, sir. It was the last copy.

Here is my card.

Sorry, it's cash only.

But I am not carrying cash.

I am.

Why would I buy it with your money?

Who said It's for you? It's for me.

Go on. Pack it up.

So that was the new idea we've come up with.

Thank you.

So we have gone through couple of ideas.

Opinion time.

I am behind this one.

Nowadays, consumers are more inclined towards brands with a thing to tell about contemporary society.

On that note, the first idea has the edge.

The current trend also makes me..

lean towards the "don't sleepwalk" thing.

Then what else there is to say?

What a lovely day.. [Apu humming a famous song from a Satyajit Ray movie]

Not the same. But closer than you think.

The fountain knows a stone can never melt into water Yet he relentlessly knocks on her center. - Apu

A Peace Treaty

Number One.

The first party Nahid Hasan Apu and the second party Shayla Rahman Shila signed a peace agreement.

Number Two.

According to this treaty, the two parties will be considered friends from now on.

All past bitterness will be forgotten, and friendship will be established between them.

Number Three.

There should be at least two meetings between the two parties every week.

Apu, the first party, will be obliged to take Sheela, the second party, out.

The first party will be obliged to take the second party to all places

known for Tasty Fuchka in Dhaka.

Four..

Both parties will give gifts to each other on various occasions.

That's mandatory as well.

Five

Both parties will address each other informally from now on.

Six..

The day of signing the peace treaty will be celebrated by both parties as Friendship Day every year.

Seven

This friendship must never be turned into a love affair.

Eight..

If there is a fight between two parties, the party who initiated the argument must come forward to make up.

Nine

Both parties signed this contract vowing that they would be friends for life.

They can't break this vow.

See who is having black coffee now!

I guess he wants to talk bitter now.

Give me that tinsel, please.

Come on. Take it off.

It's not bitter anymore.

Here it is.

I signed.

Number five is a bit odd.

Like what?

Do I really have to be so informal?

Relationship that begins with utmost informality

..goes a long way.

I better get back to watching movie.

'Beder Meye Josna', a classic!

The stone knows nothing can dispirit the fountain She gives it all to get in his way, regardless PRASAD SEN

The stone knows nothing can dispirit the fountain She gives it all to get in his way, regardless - Apu

Check this out!

And?

Who is this 'PRASAD SEN'?

I don't know.

One year of WAR

You haven't written a poem for a while.

Fuck! You call those poems?

Of course! I like your poems.

Right!

However, I'm not the only one who likes them.

Girls shower your posts with comments.

Everyone wants to see you, wants to meet you.

Why? Are you getting jealous?

Why don't you write, damn it?

Fuck that.

You want me to have it or not?

A Parker? -Yes.

What do I write with a pen?

You're gonna write poems for me.

Of course! -Do you like it?

You are different.

Like what?

Like what?

Are you that Meghbalika?

Are you that Meghbalika?

Are you the one?

2 Years of WAR

My dad can be so unreasonable at times.

Tomorrow is Friday. So we're supposed to chill at home. Right?

And that's the day he chose to repair our water supply. So There'd no water.

How are we gonna manage all day?

But hey! I've got you.

You'd carry buckets of water for me. I know.

Otherwise I have to get those..

Sis!!

Give me a break, will you?

You're on the phone all day!

I bet teenager couples don't even chat on the phone this much!

Wanna get slapped?

Hey! What did I do?

Oh I wasn't talking to you. It's Dola. She was interrupting.

Yeah right. I'm the bloody interrupter now!

Just get married and talk as much as you want.

Don't talk among elders, Dola!

What does she want?

She wants us to get married.

Tell her I'd rather leave my house..

on my undies and head for the Himalayas to live as a monk than get married.

It's not happening.

I know that you won't get married. You have issues.

What issues?

It's natural..

for some guys to have issues.

You are free to check if you have doubts.

Do you think you have the guts?

All you have are words.

Forget about marriage...

Dola doesn't even know that

you don't have the balls to meet a girl's parents for a proposal.

Whose parents are you talking about? Yours?

My parents?

Huh! You would wet your pants in front of my dad.

O Yeah?

Who is your dad anyway?

Just some retired Army Officer.

Not a Royal Bengal Tiger

Cool!

Let's do it.

Tomorrow is an off-day. Why don't you come to my place?

You are testing my guts, aren't you?

Umm..

Let's say I am.

Sis!

When did you come?

Today is a special day. How can I not come?

Did you eat, sweetpea?

What special day is it today?

Get the food coming, mom. I'm famished!

Finish up the breakfast and get ready. I'd take you to a Salon.

Why salon all on a sudden?

To get a make over. What else?

And listen.. that blue saree that you got from your brother-in-law you're gonna wear it today.

You look like an angel in that saree.

Enough Mila. Let's not get ahead of ourselves.

It's not like the groom's parents are coming to see her.

Only the groom is coming.

What are you talking about?

No need to act like you don't know anything now. Ok?

You didn't even care to tell me that secretly

you got involved into something this big!

Sis, I don't have the faintest idea of what you're talking about.

You can't imagine how delighted I am. I thought you're never gonna get married.

You're so obsessed about your career.

Do you know how long I have been waiting to wear that Rajasthani saree at your wedding?

I'd forever regret not being able to wear it, you know?

Hey

What is going on?

Well, I told them about you and Apu.

What did you tell them?

I told them that Apu is coming to our place to meet our dad.

Are you crazy?

We're just messing with each other. Go right now, and tell them the truth.

Sorry I can't.

What the hell, man. I don't have that sort of feeling for Apu.

Go right now! Tell mom the truth.

I can't, sorry. The ball has rolled too far inside the field.

Dad already invited Mr. Towhid and our dearest uncle.

Call it off if you want. I can't. Sorry.

Dad..

Sheela?

Have a seat

While looking at your photo

I just recalled something from the memory.

Something I never told you

Dad, I had something to tell

You were just a toddler.

Around six months old.

You were diagnosed with an acute disease.

Those soft tiny hands were constantly injected with antibiotics.

Let me tell you a truth.

I did not believe in God.

Then, one night, your condition deteriorated.

Suddenly I realized..

I had no one to resort to.

Who could I plead to? I didn't believe in those.

Doctors were anxiously running around to treat you.

You know what I did?

I found a mosque and started praying on its sidewalk.

Even a sinner like me..

who selfishly asked for His mercy

did not leave empty-handed.

Your sisters always had an issue with..

my favoritism towards you.

Do you know when we realize the value of something the most?

When it's slipping away from our grasp.

I don't know the man you gave your heart to.

All I know is that..

You won't take a misstep.

I have confidence in you.

So I didn't ask your mom a thing about the guy.

Now tell me what to do.

Do what I tell you.

Go to your dad.

And tell him the truth.

That's why I went to him.

Suddenly dad got so emotional

I couldn't say a thing.

Then what?

Umm

How about..

you come over here and meet them for real?

Are you sure?

Of course! Just come over.

But my hair needs to be trimmed.

God! Apu!

What does it have anything to do with your visit to my house?

Your dad was in Army. What if he shoots me on first sight?

I'm having a panic attack here and you're making a joke?

Ok Chill! I'll be there.

See you!

Okay

Dola, I'll kill you!

Hey Apu!

Shahed, how're you doing, bro?

I'm good.

How about you?

I have an appointment. But I arrived before time, you know?

Are you alright? You look tensed.

Don't ask..

Little later, I'll be interrogated in this house.

by a retired Army Officer.

I see you haven't really changed since your university life.

So you're the man of the hour, huh?

That's why dad called me to come over so urgently.

Dad? -yes.

I'm married to this family.

Sheela's eldest sister, Mila?

She's my wife.

Let's get in. I am by your side.

Oh then I have something to tell you. -Sure. What is it?

First we get in. Then we'll talk. -Listen to me for-

Actually there is a misunderstanding.

Cool. We'll talk it out. Okay? -I mean. I am not the..

Have something. Be my guest.

Oh they're replaying the match.

Barca won 1-0.

Due to a referring blunder, you know?

No. They played well. I mean..

Bro..

Dad likes to watch the repeat telecasts over a live match.

We're strictly forbidden to spoil the result in front of him.

So that he gets the feel of a live match.

Dola?

You shouldn't have made that remark about the referring.

Dad is a hardcore Barca fan.

Bro!

Dad has summoned you.

May I come in, uncle?

Do you like her from your heart?

Real Madrid?

Who?

Sheela

Well.. she is not bad looking. tall and shiny.

I do.

Does Sheela like you the same way?

How can she not? Just look at me.

She does.

You guys want to get married?

Of course not!

Answer me.

Do you guys want to get married?

Spare me, please!

You're blushing

No. I don't have that.

Great

Finally someone from this generation knows the courtesy.

Uncle, basically we are- -What's your family like?

My mom and my eldest sister.

Is your sister married?

She is.

I have no idea what is going on.

Me neither.

Things are getting out of control.

They called Mitu as well. There is a dinner tomorrow.

Do something, damn it! -Do what?

I made things worse.

I shouldn't have come.

You're my wife

I have to live as your husband.

Unimaginable as fuck!

Right!

Like I can't wait to be your wife, huh?

Ok listen.. Tomorrow..

We'd tell everyone the truth.

Done. -Hmm

Please, come in. I hope getting here wasn't much of a trouble!

Have a seat, please. -Salam.

Your aunt is getting married.

Uncle, meet my mom, my aunt and my uncle.

Salam, please, have a seat.

They've brought so much sweetmeat.

You are Shahnaz, right?

Remember me?

You can't, can you?

I don't blame her.

You've put so much weight.

Even I sometimes mistake you for my next door neighbour.

Oh shut up!

Very funny!

Remember we used to be in the same class at Viqarunnesa?

As we were both Shahnaz,

they used to call you Shahnaz 1 and me Shahnaz 2.

Shahnaz 2?

My soul-mate!

We're meeting after so many years!

Guess what? This is not the only coincidence.

me and him are x-colleagues.

We are half soul-mates.

Both of our names end with '-hid'

I am Muzahid and he is Towhid. We're this close to becoming soul-mates.

Very well. It's nice to find known faces by chance.

Why are you guys standing? Get seated, please.

Let me call Sheela. Check her out.

Oh it's cool!

They're our own now. There's no need of any formality.

Then it's time to celebrate.

Oh! Let's have dinner first. -Good idea.

They say good food and good things should not be left at the table.

Why are you chain-smoking?

Stay away.

Why are you worrying?

It's me who is screwed.

Girls get rings in their wedding.

And guys?

Suffering.

You said you were gonna do something.

Chill! We are not married yet.

Even if we have to, I will divorce you the next day.

You have never been serious about your life.

Hmm

I know, right?

Life is not a playboy..

Oh Come on!

Have a drag.

Go on.

Apa, please push back the wedding.

Why? Are you getting jitters?

Almost all girls get too nervous before their wedding.

Can't you recall?

My hair started shedding so bad before I tied the knot!

I thought I'd be a baldie!

Apa ,if possible please postpone it at least for a month or two?

What are you even saying?

Here's me deciding whether to shop local or go to India for your wedding...

Listen, please don't make a fuss out of this now.

Apa , you are not trying to understand the fact that I cannot get married now.

But when will you be okay with this?

I do not think you are getting any younger?

Friends your age have kids of their own now.

Listen...hear me out...

All you have to do is utter the words, "I do".

And then...it's all like a game!

Don't you see?

How I have got your brother-in-law wrapped around my finger?

Even you can do the same with Apu.

Uncle? -Huh?

The person you are marrying...

Is she your girlfriend?

You know the term too?

Do you guys love each other?

No! I only love you!

I know...

If you marry your girlfriend...

You won't love me anymore.

Don't you want me to get married?

Nope. I do not want it.

Even I here do not want it...

Okay, I am not going to do it. You don't too!

I won't do it ever!

Very good! Pinky swear?

Pinky swear! -Lovely!

Someone has always been MIA no matter how often you have looked for them.

But, now that his nuptial is in the air, he is around already!

Wow!

Uncle Apu just told me that he will not be bring the bride home.

Pardon?

It means I will not get married.

Listen, stop this habit of trying to make a joke out of everything.

I mean...my life feels like the one of...

Charlie Chaplin.

Even my tears make people laugh.

Listen...save your tears for another day.

You will need it after a few days.

Get married, and then you'll understand what crying is.

Wow! Look at that smile!

There has been a miscommunication.

Neither I nor Sheela gave our consent to this.

Listen, she already has a ring wrapped on her finger. So, no point in saying all these now.

At least talk with mom and push it back for a few days?

Can Sheela and I just get our heads wrapped around this?

I mean, we do need some time to catch up on all these.

You got your lifetime ahead of you for that, bro!

And I am not saying mom a thing! That's for sure.

I don't think I can get leave from the office.

No biggie! We'll take the party there!

Not going to lie, but this is funny.

Lovebirds elope to get married.

But we are here, eloping to escape from its doom!

So, you agree that we are a thing?

Unfortunately, it's not written in your stars.

You can just stick to your "fooling around" game.

So, when does the bus leave? - In a bit now.

Okay, so these are 11th-hour tickets. The seats aren't any special, in the back somewhere.

Where will we be staying in Bandarban?

Nilgiri resort. Even got a room reserved.

Yo! What do you mean by "a room"?

Just because we aren't getting married, doesn't mean that we can't share beds.

That's not gonna happen, darling!

Weirdo! -Stop fretting! Got two rooms for us!

Hey, are we making a mistake?

Definitely, we are!

But tying the knot would have been a greater mistake!

It's going to hurt dad.

Instead of hurting for the rest of your life staying married to me,

a day won't matter much.

The whole family was having so much fun!

After the sudden death of my brother,

this is the first time there was joy in our family.

All these happiness and festivities.

You and I...

difference between us isn't just 19-20.

We are like 19-39. summer and winter.

We are complete opposites.

We aren't completely opposites, but polar opposites.

Marrying you will be a mistake, I know.

But I don't know why I I don't mind committing it.

Do you want to?

Let's do it, then.

Who do you see in the mirror? Tell us.

Mr Groom!

Did her beauty bamboozle you? Why are you speechless?

Who's that in the mirror? -Sheela.

What? -Our groom here isn't lovey-dovey much!

Come on! Say something! Whom do you see? -Alright! Alright!

I see, my beloved! [Crowd Cheers]

Do you want to get a picture taken, Noushad Bhai?

Could you stand just next to the bride? Close in a bit.

Can we get a little closer?

Come one! Not just hands.

Wrap your arms around her.

So...does this make you feel anything?

Nope.

Feels like something inanimate.

When an incompetent gets closer with a girl, that is exactly what they feel.

Cheers!

Whoa!

Superb!

[Songs]

Here you go! Take this.

You son of a....!

I told you so!

What are you doing here?

Good Morning!

Fuck!

Did I really get married?

What did I do?

Is Sheela going to accept my life? My freedom to live as per my will?

Do I have to change myself?

Do I have to change myself?

Why does it matter?

Why shall I change myself?

Nope. Nope. Bad move, Apu! Bad move!

Some relationships are better being distant!

You shouldn't have done this, Apu!

Not everything should be played around with!

How could you involve someone in your messed up life?

When you are like a boat without a sail!

How much longer do you need? [Sheela]

I have to get freshened up too! Remember?

Why don't you use the washroom for the guests outside ?

Well done getting married!

Wishing you a happy life.

Can you grab me that Savannah Group reports that you prepared? I'd like to see that.

Noushad bhai, I need some break.

Break? What kind of break?

Shouldn't I go on a honeymoon after getting married?

Alright, then.

You get a day's leave. Roam around with your wife tomorrow...

Then come back to the office again the day after tomorrow.

Noushad bhai, I said honeymoon...

I didn't ask for a vacation.

I need seven days.

You can roam around the world in seven days!

What are you even trying to say?

I am giving to a three days break. Please don't drag this anymore.

Alright.

See you after seven days. Salam!

Nope, not this!

Umm...can you look for my denim shirt?

Here. -Thank you!

Are we going anywhere? -Nope.

Then what's all this packing for?

It's just...I don't get any breaks from the office.

I could finally manage one and had a long overdue trip with Taufiq. Going there!

I am on leave too!

Do you want to go?

What are you even going to do there?

It's a bachelor’s trip. Kind of like backpacking.

You won't enjoy there. -You aren't a bachelor anymore!

Why didn't you change your relationship status?

I consider those as a show off.

Okay.

Good for you.

It's not like everyday I can manage a seven day leave!

Three days with them and the rest four with you!

Been long since I've gone for a trip with them!

Okay, go! -Thank you.

Okay let me help you pack! It's so untidy! -No! no! no! Listen!

Some plants are better off without sunlight. They die when they get the sun.

That's me right there! All good, here.

Are you guys here?

Alright, I'm coming!

Hang up!

Oh God! I am late!

Thank you!

Ta-ta!

You know nothing, Apu.

Plants don't die of sun.

The sun is there to keep plants alive.

SHEELA

Get off of me!

What?

I don't need you undue affection after returning not after three but seven days.

Why are you so careless?

I don't have a caring bone in me, don't you know?

Give me those hands.

Come one. -Let me go.

Sheela!

Listen...

Hey!

Hmm..

Get up!

Wake up!

Its the weekend. Let me sleep.

No!

Did you make me buy these glass bangles so that you can torture me?

Listen...

These aren't just bangles! These are to wake you up!

I have decided that from now on, you won't be using your phone for alarms.

I will wake you up like this.

Shopping list?

Yes!

Oh my married life!

To...

My dearest husband...

Subject...

Application to take me out somewhere...

Mister...

I would like to state that...

I am your one and only wife whom you have married...

Before our marriage, you used to..

take me to the most unique places in the city!

But, after marriage, I failed to see that same enthusiasm in you.

You have become even more bone-idle.

It's the weekend today.

This day needs to be celebrated with appropriate arrangements.

Therefore...

I hope and pray that...

you will be kind enough to take me out without another excuse.

Sincerely...

Your beloved wife.

Oh God the traffic was insane!

Insane!

It can drive a man insane.

Can't you keep the shoes where it belongs?

I mean it's in the right place...

What do we have a shoe rack for?

I mean I need these for office tomorrow morning. Why shall I keep it aside?

Does that mean the socks will be lying here too?

I can't seem to bear the smell.

My socks stink? No way!

It's absolutely fresh! I can wear it for a couple days more!

Sheela is right.

High time you become a bit more civil.

Stop hanging out late outside and focus in your marriage.

mom!

Imagine if Shakib Al Hasan got into singing...

And Miss Momtaz had played cricket...

Where would they be today?

Please don't expect things that won't be possible.

Why don't you give it a try and look? Go and freshen up! -Hmm.

Oh! I already ate!

Sheela here hasn't eaten anything waiting for you...

Then there is you.

Well, okay. You guys can have my part too.

Come, let's eat.

Been like this always. Always!

By the way, this is Rubina. Our new creative director.

Make sure you eat with me...

And eat like a horse!

Who doesn't know Miss Rubina? Big fan!

Alright, we'll see!

I have seen many of your works. Brilliant!

Yes, you will!

Thank you! -And...don't call me "Miss".. 'Ma'am'

Sounds a bit tacky. You can call me by my name.

Listen, the new project we have? Rubina will be leading the team. Okay?

We are already behind the schedule.

Kindly put some extra effort and get done with it as soon as possible.

There needs to be a good harmony between us, Noushad bhai.

We need to spend a little more time together.

Let's start with a cup of coffee?

You're the boss, here, Rubina! Whatever you say.

Quite informal, given I just told you to address me by my name only.

Addressing formally won't help in establishing a harmony.

Aha!

I like your approach.

Can you take the day off?

I don't feel well. A bit under the weather...

Why?

Do you have a fever? Let me see.

Is fever the only issue we have?

Girls have other issues too.

Oh...

Got it...

That means I gotta take leave every month...

I did not tell you to take a leave every month.

I told you to take a leave today.

I have tons of work at the office. You should rest.

Stay back today?

I'll feel better with you around.

And what excuse do I give?

I have a PPM the day after tomorrow.

if I even utter the 'leave' word at this moment. Mr. Noushad will be mad

You have rest. I will bring you chocolates on the way back.

Don't get up! Stay in bed!

What do you think? Can we bag the project?

Who knows? But the pitch went great.

If we get this, then we'll dive deep in a plate of Kachchi.

Have you gone mad? Our cholesterol will go off the charts!

You are as pretty as a [inaudible]

Have you gone mad? Our cholesterol will go off the charts!

Hey are you scared of all these?

Yeah, whatever.

I on the other hand, am not afraid of these disease and all.

The worst that can happen is me leaving the earth early?

But I was not made to live a life full of restrictions.

I will be having Kachchi.

Make sure you eat with me...

And eat like a horse!

Alright, we'll see!

Yes, you will!

Why don’t you doll up like before?

I don't see the point.

The point is to look good.

A Ha!

Do you find someone else attractive these days?

The person I would dress up for barely notices me.

Din even check up on me knowing I was sick.

Oh!

So sorry! It skipped my mind completely.

How are you feeling right now? Does it ache anywhere?

Don't touch me.

Come on! You know that I am like this.

You are full of shit.

Okay, listen...

When I get my pay check for the upcoming month...

I will gift you a new saree.

Despite being with so many girls all your life...

You barely understand what women want.

Saree and jewelries don't make girls happy because they are being gifted these, Apu.

They get happy because the person took the trouble of buying her those. It's called 'caring'.

They get happy when the person gives her importance over other things.

Unfortunately, you do not have the brains to comprehend this.

I do not understand all these.

I cannot take care of anyone, nor can I ask for anyone's care.

That's how I am.

I like that stone on your finger!

This? -Hmm...

It's my birthstone. Blue Sapphire.

Blue Sapphire...

Sri Lanka has some good sapphires.

I can read palms well.

-Uh huh?

Palmist?

Okay, let me look. -Here.

Okay...

First of all...

You've got pretty hands.

Thank you.

But...

It seems like future holds something bad for you.

You can't see tears in the rain, Apu.

Deep.

However, the good thing is...

You've got great luck when it comes to making friends.

Does the name of my new friend start with the letter..."A"?

Hey I do not do these for free! I charge people for it.

Asking for money even after calling yourself a friend. That's unfair.

Listen...

Nothing is for free here. Everything is transactional.

How long till you get rid of this old mug?

Seems like you are more keen on new things these days?

I drink from it because it's a special mug.

Special.

Was it from your ex boyfriend?

It's from an old friend.

The birds these days stay kind of distant from each other, look.

Maybe they cannot seem to get along?

"You swore to just have one more after dinner."

Sigh.

Oh Apu!

And Apu's life!

Go to her!

Hey!

Why are you so far away?

Sir! -Yes, what's up?

I need to go home early today.

Is the Food Fest presentation done?

Almost ready. -Okay.

Was working on it now. haven't finished yet.

It's Apu's birthday today. Had somethings planned for him at home.

Oh, is that so? Then you may show it to me in the first hour, tomorrow.

Sure.

Hey birthday boy!

Where is my gift?

I am truly indebted to you.

The palm reading the other day.

Something about payment, right?

That, along with today's birthday gift.

You look pretty today.

Thank you.

Special look for...

A special person on his special day.

These won't do the trick. Where is my gift?

If you'd like something "special" , you do have to wait a bit. Isn't it?

The maximum I am willing to wait for you is...

The rest of my life.

You don't have to wait that long! Trust me!

Nice!

Now these two.

His last birthday was way back when he was only five years old.

We never celebrated this day since.

Why?

After that, his dad left us and..

My son can be really sensitive at times.

Beneath his joyful facade,

he has concealed all his grief.

And keeps it away from everyone.

That's like a self-inflicted punishment.

Sweetpea..

Please, get his life in order.

I have failed.

You won't fail, I know.

You know him inside out.

I can sense that.

I don't know, mom.

Sometimes I can't read him at all.

You are not going anywhere today. I'd not let you.

You're gonna sleep in my bed and

we'll stay out all night chatting. Okay?

You won't even last with her for five minutes.

She can never stop talking.

Don't worry, mom. I can manage her. Right sweety?

Then tell me what we're gonna talk about.

Horror stories!

Seriously? Would you be able to sleep?

Such a beautiful saree. -I know, right?

It's from my brother, right? -Who else? Just got it a few days ago.

Check her saree out! Isn't it gorgeous?

Sheela? -Hu?

Your brother-in-law has to get up early tomorrow for work, We better call it a night. Ok?

I'm really sorry. -Oh it's okay. All good.

It was so nice to have you.

Have you struggled with pretending to be happy for a long time,

or is this a recent development?

Hmm..

Basically...

is there a happy person anywhere?

It's better to be content with the moment

than try to be happy all your life.

Live a little, Apu.

Happy Birthday, Apu

I better..

I wanna go home

I..

I want to..

go home now.

Where have you been all this time?

She worked so hard on planning your-

Who told her to do all this? Me?

How could you say that?

You know I don't do all this. I don't like birthdays!

You are a selfish brat. You don't care about anyone but yourself.

Just like your father was!

I'm like my father, huh?

I've taken after my father!

Have you forgotten already?

That bastard's blood runs in me.

Don't you know?

I don't do these goddamn birthdays!

I don't do these birthdays!

I didn't ask for this celebration! I don't want this affection!

I don't bloody need any charity!

I didn't ask anybody to work hard for me!

Mercy?

You show me mercy?

Birthday!

If you miss me so much you'll become a Mrs of someone. -Someone who? Yours?

I have only one duty now. To miss you.

Sorry..

Why are you apologizing to me?

You won't get to say sorry to the person who deserves it.

Sheela?

She's gone.

But it's..

the weekends.

She's left this house.

For good.

What do you mean?

You are a disgrace!

Who is this Rubina?

Where were you last night?

Whoever wants to leave, they're always meant to leave.

I don't give a damn!

I think I have made a mistake, brother.

So what? Mistakes happen.

Do you know why we make mistakes?

Cz we are human.

We are no Gods or angels.

Still..

I should be punished.

"Restrain the man who goes astray,

"Restrain the man who goes astray,

...Forgive, if someone is at fault."

My dad..

My dad left us for another woman.

All my life, I hated this...

History repeats itself..

I think I am repeating the history, bro.

Listen dude..

Don't belittle yourself.

You have regrets.

Your dad did not.

And burning in one's own pit

is the mother of all punishment.

A mistake is like a domino effect.

To correct a mistake in a haste,

we often make multiple other mistakes.

I hope you know

what you're doing.

I knew it, dad.

Marrying him could be a mistake.

Yet I followed my guts.

I thought I could make a man out of him

But I failed.

Yeah I told you, right?

Of course we will meet.

Ok Bye!

Hey you!

I called you.

You didn't respond.

Are you ignoring me?

It's pointless to wallow in misery.

I told you. I would...

I..

tried to talk to Sheela many times, you know?

The fault is entirely mine.

Don't push her for nothing.

Still Apu..

a marriage is a precious thing.

A signature on a paper should not decide-

Is it her final say in this matter?

We tried our best to talk her out of it.

Hand me the paper

I need a pen.

Did you like it?

A Parker? -Hmm

-What do I do with a pen? -You'll write poems for me.

I cannot fathom you'll forget me soon,

You stride ahead with nimble glee,

No remnants of me you'll retain,

As you wander on your porch so free.

With a smile that shines like morning sun,

Your hair dances in the wind, so fair,

The path of a desolate forest goes through your tendrils

The playful gleam of the city dances in your palm

It's hard to fathom you'll forget my face in time

With every bloom, you'll capture life's essence divine

This thought alone, it's hard to simply define.

When I imagine,

one day you may forget me suddenly,

Like a forgotten novel..

from days long gone by,

Fear grips me with its dark embrace,

And the world around me begins to close,

As a wild horse tramples me in its galloping charge,

And my broken heart.. withers away quietly,

Lost in thoughts, wandering aimlessly,

..in utter silence.

Like the rustling of leaves

in an abandoned forest glee.

If you hold on to the past,

you can't move forward, Sheela.

I've lost my best friend because of a misunderstanding.

I share everything with you.

You know all my stories.

You have become very important to me.

I don't want to lose you..

in the same way with any other relationship.

Everyone doesn't come into our lives to just disappear, Sheela.

During my grads in Medical..

I was with someone.

We both had dreams

But we couldn't stick together.

I was terribly hurt.

I thought..

rest of my life, I would live as single.

I was doing it fine...!

Oh you've come!

I can't explain how happy I am!

I was missing Anaya a lot. So I thought why not drop by this place.

Aunty!

I'll be here for a while.

No. It's ok. You don't have to drop me.

I can..

I can manage on my own.

Ok Bye.

Call you when I get home.

How are you doing?

I guess I don't even have the right

to know how you are doing.

I'm fine.

What about you?

Me?

I'm getting by.

Take a break for couple of days.

You'll feel better.

I made a mistake.

Sorry

I don't want your love back. I just.. want to know that

you don't hate me anymore.

I don't hate you,

I don't love you either.

You don't exist in my world anymore.

So you erased me from your mind once and for all?

Sheela I..

I have a fiance, Apu.

You're a friend, You're a foe To the closest you, To the one who's far away -Sheela

Yes?

Brought you your things.

You didn't have to return these.

Doesn't hold much value anymore.

May not be important to you. But these are important to me.

These things... keep reminding me of you.

If getting rid of these helps you forget me..

Cool!

What brand of perfume did you use?

My pillows

The bed sheets..

Bathrobe, shirts..

Everything smells of you.

Stay well.

I'll try.

You stay well too.

I'm doing fine.

I feel blessed

to finally get to meet you in person

Oh the blessings on me

Finally got to meet you.

Even though

I had to wait an hour and half outside for that.

Oh No!

I wish you had called me before coming.

And why here?

Coffee?

Black, right?

You too?

Thanks to the company we keep!

Not at all. I've always been a coffee person.

Thankfully I don't have any other addiction.

Two Black Coffee.

Then you guys are going well.

You mean?

Sheela?

Yeah

You can say that.

We are pretty similar in terms of..

personality.

You know what I think?

I think it's better to have some dissimilarities too.

Or we won't gel, you know what I-

I had something important to talk you.

As you know, I am..

her x-husband and you are..

someone new in her life.

Actually, our divorce was a..

I mean.. It wasn't Sheela's fault.

It was all me and..

I mean.. I will be honest with you I don't deserve someone like Sheela.

My request to you would be to..

not pay attention to what people say.

It's all on me.

You are duly noted.

Won't you have the coffee?

Some other day, thanks.

Apu..

How can you leave without saying..

what you really came here to say?

Don't worry.

I will make her happy.

Thank you!

Won't you ever let me live with peace?

What happened?

I have been suffering from a lifetime of neglect and pain from you.

When I started feeling good, you had to barge in again!

What did I do?

Didn't you go to Rashed's chamber?

I did.

You want us to break up, don't you?

Please, Apu..

I used to be crazy about you once, but now I am just filled with regret.

Here it is. My wedding card.

This card contains the details of my wedding ceremony.

I want you to stay as far away from that area that night.

You promised you're gonna cut it down.

I know you're never gonna do it.

These things remind me of you.

Your poems dedicated to me made me feel like..

I was being celebrated by one of the greatest poets.

And those simple bangles you gifted me were..

worth more to me than the most extravagant presents I've ever received

Why are you in a wedding dress?

I have to get married again, remember?

This dress is from that doctor, isn't it?

He gifted us this dress like a gentleman.

I won't accept.

You snatched away his wife.

And you can't accept a dress from him?

She has always been my wife!

Fine. So be it.
