ARUN (softly): Yeh... message?
KARAN
Papa, woh...
ARUN
Tumhari ammi ki awaaz hai?
KARAN
Mujhe nahi sunna.
ARUN
Main bas ek baar...
KARAN
Nahi.
KARAN
Ab kya faayda?
ARUN
Faayda nahi.
ARUN
Bas awaaz.
KARAN
Maine sab band kar diya hai, Papa.
ARUN
Kya band kiya hai?
KARAN
Sab.
ARUN
Ek baar. Sirf ek baar.
KARAN
Theek hai.
KARAN
Par agar sun liya na... phir main control nahi kar paunga.
ARUN
Control ka kya hai, beta. Zindagi ne kab rakha tha?
VOICE MESSAGE (V.O.) (weak, intimate): Karan... agar tu yeh sun raha hai, toh matlab main phir se himmat nahi kar paayi saamne bolne ki.
VOICE MESSAGE (V.O.): Main tere liye record kar rahi hoon. Papa ke liye nahi.
VOICE MESSAGE (V.O.): Beta, mujhe maaf kar dena. Maine tere engineering entrance wale din tujhe roka tha. Tujhe us shehar bhejne se dar lagta tha... kyunki main jaanti thi ghar mein jo dard hai, woh tujhe tod dega.
VOICE MESSAGE (V.O.): Aur haan... meri illness ka sach maine tumse chupaya. Papa se bhi.
VOICE MESSAGE (V.O.): Mujhe laga agar tum guilt leke jeeyoge, toh main haar jaungi.
VOICE MESSAGE (V.O.): Arun... agar tum yeh suno, toh samajh lena—maine jo letters likhe the na, woh Karan ke naam the. Main usse kehna chahti thi ki woh apni zindagi jiyega. Tum dono ko ek doosre se bachane ki koshish kar rahi thi main.
KARAN
Letters?
ARUN (murmurs): Maine nahi padhe.
KARAN
Kya?
ARUN
Mujhe laga... tumne doori bana li.
ARUN
Main bhi darr gaya tha.
KARAN
Main bhi.
KARAN
Play it again.
RISHI (very softly): Charger toh lag gaya.
RISHI (very softly): Ab dil bhi shayad charge ho jaaye.
