NAVEEN
Papa, raat ke 10 baje bulaya hai. Kya emergency hai?
BHARAT
Emergency nahi. Zaroori baat hai.
NAVEEN
Aur paise ka kya scene hai? Agar koi problem hai toh batao.
BHARAT
Sab kuch paise se hi toh shuru hota hai tumhare ghar mein?
KUNAL
Papa, aap tension mat lo. Main dekh lunga.
NAVEEN
Tum? Tum dekh loge? Tum toh bas bolte ho.
KUNAL
Aur aap? Aap bas judge karte ho.
NAVEEN
Ghar sambhala? Papa ke saath chipak ke rehna ghar sambhalna nahi hota.
KUNAL
Aur aapka “main bada hoon” bolke sab chhod dena bhi zimmedari nahi hoti.
BHARAT
Main thak gaya hoon, Naveen. Main beech ka deewar ban gaya tha. Ek ghar mein do ghar.
BHARAT
Mujhe bas itna batao—kya aaj ke baad bhi tum bhai ho?
NAVEEN (softening): Papa... ghar aapka bhi hai.
KUNAL
Aur aapka bhi, bhai.
