HARI
Is bench pe bhi reservation hota hai kya?
VISHAL
Papa, aap na... har cheez pe joke.
HARI
Joke nahi beta. Experience.
VISHAL
Papa, main ek baat karna chahta tha.
HARI
Main bhi. Cricket score dekhna hai.
VISHAL
Serious baat hai.
OM
Aap dono same line pe ho ya alag-alag train mein?
VISHAL
I got an offer. Overseas.
VISHAL
Two, maybe three years.
HARI
Overseas?
VISHAL
Haan. Better growth hai. Better pay. Main family ko chhod nahi raha, bas...
HARI
Bas thoda door ja rahe ho.
VISHAL
Papa, it’s not like I’m disappearing.
HARI
Arre, kaun keh raha hai disappear.
HARI
Foreign mein sab milta hai na?
HARI
Bas ghar ka raasta thoda mehenga hota hai.
VISHAL
Main opportunity miss nahi kar sakta.
HARI
Main bhi conductor tha, beta.
HARI
Bus chhoot jaaye toh agla stop dekhte hain.
HARI
Zindagi mein kabhi-kabhi stop nahi, platform chhoot jaata hai.
OM
Maine ek cheez banayi hai.
OM
Family map.
OM
Haan.
OM
Teacher ne bola tha family draw karo.
OM
Main ne socha... family sirf ghar mein nahi hoti.
OM
Jahan jahan family ka dil hota hai, wahi map hota hai.
VISHAL
Tumhe pata tha?
OM
Papa, aap office se late aate ho,
OM
aur Dada newspaper se pehle hi sab samajh jaate hain.
OM
Main chhota hoon, andha nahi.
OM
Nahi.
OM
Bas ghar mein sab log chup ho jaate hain,
OM
toh main sun leta hoon.
VISHAL
Papa... mujhe laga aap hurt ho jaoge.
HARI
Hurt toh hua.
HARI
Par usse zyada darr laga...
HARI
ki kahin tum itne door na ho jao
HARI
ki tumhari awaaz hi door lagne lage.
VISHAL
Main jaa raha hoon, chhod ke nahi.
VISHAL
I promise.
HARI
Promise toh bus conductor bhi karta tha,
HARI
“Last stop, last stop.”
HARI
Phir bhi koi na koi chadh hi jaata tha.
HARI
Bas ek shart hai.
VISHAL
Kya?
HARI
Wahan jaake Indian time mat le jaana.
HARI
Uska refund nahi milta.
OM
Aur Sunday video call.
VISHAL
Done.
OM
Aur Dada ke liye monthly postcard.
HARI
Postcard? Arre, main toh WhatsApp pe sticker bhej dunga.
OM
Smart boy.
OM
Common sense, Papa.
HARI
Suno, overseas jaake bhi ek kaam karna.
VISHAL
Kya?
HARI
Apne bete ko miss mat karna.
HARI
Woh tumhe already miss kar raha hai.
VISHAL
I know.
