62.
BIKE ON ROAD
Bittu drives, Vicky rides behind him.
BITTU
Tell me again, exactly where were
you yesterday?
VICKY
By the old bridge.
BITTU
Oh! At the shamshan?
VICKY
No. At the bridge.
BITTU
The bridge by the shamshan.
VICKY
Yes..
BITTU
Hmmm.. Was she with you all the
time?
VICKY
Yeah..
(then slowly concedes)
Actually she left suddenly. And..
never came back.
BITTU
What! Around what time??
VICKY
Around 1030.. 11.. I think..
Bittu stops the bike and --
BITTU
(emphatically shouts)
I knew it!!
VICKY
What!?
BITTU
Don’t you get it?? She comes at
exactly the same time as Stree
roams the streets. She asks for
black magic shit. She doesn’t even
have a mobile phone yaar! Who
doesn’t these days?!
(beat)
And last night she went off into
the shamsham to do God knows what..
(shushing Vicky’s protest)
..at exactly the same time Jana
went missing!
(adds coyly)
