Jab They Met #HBDImtiazAli

Ved sat in the moving train, smiling, day-dreaming, but mostly thinking of Baba's story. Baba was really old when he last met him, memory mostly gone, but he told Ved one final story. Story that was Ved's own. Ved's mind is constantly wandering. Yeh chai wale ki bhi koi kahani hogi na. Kaash ise iski kahani pata hoti.

He sees a girl running with 2 bags, struggling to get in the train. Pushing people, she threw her bags into the moving train, somehow gets in herself and settles her luggage next to Ved. She declares proudly "Aaj tak train miss nahi hui meri by god! Thank you Babaji! Record tootne se bacha liya"

Iski kya kahani hogi?

He sees her panting and offers water. She drinks it. "Aahh..Soda wagarah sab apni jagah, paani ka kaam toh sirf paani hi karta hai by god. Waise iska koi galat matlab mat samajh lena. I was just tired isiliye le liya, warna aise kisi ka paani nahi peeti mai" She scans him quickly. "Waise shakal se lagte toh nahi ho gunde types. Ja kahan rahe ho?"

Surprised but intrigued he says - "Delhi".  "Delhi! Nice! Mai bhi. Bahut time hai fir toh apne paas. Mast gappe shappe lagayenge raaste mein. BTW I am Geet. Aur tum?" Before he could answer she continued. "Lagta hai kam bolte ho. Koi baat nahi, mai zyada bol lungi. HeHe I don't mind HeHe..."

I don't mind either.

"...Recently breakup hua mera. Hamara plan bhaag jane ka tha. Socha tha Raj aur Simran ki tarah hum bhi Switzerland ghumenge. But dhoka de gaya kameena..."

Single hai matlab. Cute bhi hai. Train journey set hai boss! Yeh toh nahi rukne wali.

"...Maine toh soch liya tha ki suicide kar lungi. Kitni bewakoof thi na mai! HaHa HaHaHa...."

 Kaafi cute hai Panjabban! Bolti hai toh aur cute lagti hai. France ja raha hu warna abhi pooch leta. Still number toh maang hi sakta hu.

"...Meri dost mujhe fir Queen dikhane le gayi. Arey that movie where Kangana goes to Paris. I loved that movie yaar! Bas tab maine soch liya mai bhi Paris jaungi. Isiliye toh mai Delhi ja rahi hu. Flight hai meri wahan se. Bauji k liye letter chhod diya hai. Kal tak toh mil hi jayega unhe. HeHe HeHe..."

Paris!!! How did she know..?? She can't! This is it Ved!  Baba ne kaha tha teri kahani tu khud hi likhega. Yahi hai teri kahani.

Be Cool. BE COOL. Aane de apna turn...

He smiles.

"...Agar mujhe wahan koi hot Italian ladka mil gaya toh me toh kiss kar dungi use achche se by god. Kangana ki tarah bhaag nahi jaungi! Waise dikhte toh tum bhi sahi ho. Koi GF hai tumhari? Line nahi maar rahi hu bas general knowledge ke liye pooch rahi hu..."

He acts calm and says "Nope. koi nahi"

"Oh finally kuch bole! Chalo ab apna naam bhi bata do!"

He brings his hand forward, with a grin on his face he says "Don..."
