66.

GAYATRI

Thank you so much! How much--

VICKY

(still nervous)

It’s free.

GAYATRI

Really?

VICKY

Yes yes.. Free for you.

GAYATRI

But your dad--

VICKY

Kya karlega? I’ll figure something.

GAYATRI

Wow.. Thank you for the gift then!

(Pats his arm. Then-)

You want to go out somewhere and--

VICKY

Yahin par theek hai.

GAYATRI

Ok!

And she sits next to him. She takes out the dress and starts

marveling at it while Vicky is looking at her very closely.

Checking her eyes, ears, hair.. And especially the feet,

which for some reason are again completely covered by her

long skirt.

GAYATRI

I like your clothes.

VICKY

What?

GAYATRI

Your clothes. What you’re wearing.

Did you stitch them yourself too?

Vicky instinctively holds his shirt together -- like she will

snatch it from his body any time --

VICKY

No. Readymade.

GAYATRI

(now fully suspicious)

Is something the matter?

Beat. Vicky shakes his head. She stares.

Then -- he calms himself down, musters courage.
