MOMENTS LATER

Gayatri comes up to the terrace.

Vicky acknowledges her but is not in a good mood obviously.

A moment later --

GAYATRI

I am sorry about your mother..

VICKY

Why are you sorry? It’s not your

fault that she’s--

(beat)

Now that I think about it each time

my father told me stories about my

mother, it was always a little

different. Something was different

each time. I should’ve guessed then

only that something was fishy.

She nods sympathetically.

GAYATRI

You talked to your father?

VICKY

(shakes his head)

What’s the point? He is working day

and night to put food on the table.

He hasn’t wanted anything except a

good life for me. What’s the point

of raking up something that

happened decades ago?

GAYATRI

It’s ok. It’s all in the past. It

doesn’t matter.

(adds)

Plus I think your father must’ve

been cool. And way ahead of his

time.

Vicky stares at her like - ‘it’s not helping.’

GAYATRI

I am just trying to cheer you up.

Gayatri feels sorry for him, takes his hand in hers. Vicky is

conscious of her hand touching his.

GAYATRI

You have a good heart. And I’d

happy to do friendship with you.

Vicky’s heart skips a beat. Then --

VICKY

Oh you mean, you want to be my

friend?
