ASHA (thermos rakhte hue)
Train kitni late hai?
POOJA
“Thodi” matlab kitni, bhai?
SAMEER (quick)
Bas enough ki hum sab zinda hain.
ASHA
Platform number yaad hai?
SAMEER
Haan. Obviously.
POOJA (looks up)
“Obviously” se mujhe darr lagta hai.
ASHA (soft, dangerous): Sameer.
POOJA
Galat platform bhi dekh raha tha kya?
ASHA
Beta, sach bol.
SAMEER
Main late ho gaya tha. Phir rush mein... platform dekhna bhool gaya.
ASHA
Tumne platform bhi galat bataya.
SAMEER
Mujhse sab manage nahi hua.
ASHA
Hota bhi nahi. Isliye hum teen hain.
SAMEER
Ma... sorry.
ASHA
Aage se yaad rakhna.
POOJA
Aur agar yaad na rahe, toh hum hain na.
