Jaggu
He was my best friend ever.
In the audience, Sarfaraz--
His eyes tearful. He smiles at her through her tears and
nods.
Jaggu (CONT’D)
Jaise bachhe eas duniya mein aate
hain. Nange. Vaise hi wo bhi yahan
aaya tha. Jaise bachhe bhot se
sawal puchhte hain... waise hi wo
bhi bhot se sawal puchta tha. Aur
phir eak din chala gaya hum sab se
kuch char sau crore meel door. Par
jaate jaate mujhe do khoobsoorat
tohfe de gaya.
Sarfaraz and Jaggu's father sitting on the first row smile.
Jaggu (CONT’D)
Sarfaraz, aur--
Looks with pride and affection at another seat.
Jaggu (CONT’D)
Papa.
Her father is looking at her with immense pride.
Jaggu (CONT’D)
Jab tak zinda rahongi, har raat
uske taare ki aur dekhongi, wave
karongi. I’m sure wo bhi wohi
karega. I miss him.
Jaggu shuts her book.
Crowd claps. Cutting through the claps is a loud whistle.
Jaggu looks.
His father whistles and continues whistling long after the
claps have stopped.
Tears roll down Jaggu’s cheeks.
