in #film7 years ago

Sanketh gets out of Rajeev's office building. Rajeev and Sonam will be seeing Sanketh walking out from the corner office in the top floors of the building. 

Sonam: I don't think he'll come back. Look at him, he is an emotional idiot.

Rajeev: We'll if he comes I'll be ready. I kinda have a feeling that he'll come back.

Sonam: Seriously? his father's last wish was to not let his son start a business. People like him take these things very seriously.

Rajeev: Okay, lets do one thing. Lets put a 6 months time frame. If he comes back you will...hmm... You will come to the office in a saree (traditional Indian dress).

Sonam: How did you know?

Rajeev: Know what?

Sonam: That I just hate wearing sarees.

Rajeev: I have spies everywhere.

Sonam: What if he doesn't come back? Will you wear a saree?

Rajeev: Sure.. 

Sonam: So, you'll come to the office in a saree after 6 months.

Rajeev: Only if the kid doesn't show up. 

Sonam: Deal

Rajeev: Deal!

Sonam and Rajeev shake their hands.

Sanketh: Don't talk about my father!

Abhi: Aren't you ashamed of yourself? Youtr father and Sanketh's father are brothers and you are treating him like a piece of shit.

Sachin: Bullshit! His father took money from us and now we are leading a miserable life because of his father. 

Abhi: Aye! That doesn't mean you can do anything. Next time if you come near Sanketh's house I know what I will do.

Sachin: Because of his father, My father had no money to send me to Australia. I could have become a pilot by now. All because of him.

Abhi: Pilot? First learn how to drive a car properly. Pilot it seems.. 

Sanketh: Abhi, come let's go. Its of no use.

Sachin: How many time my father should tell you to sell your house? Just sell your house and give us our money.

Sanketh: I have told you right! I will give your money!

Sachin: How will you give 10 lakhs? You will also die like your father.

Sanketh will be very angry and he will be about to go an beat the hell out of Sachin again, but before that Abhi will stop him. 

Abhi: You all just get out of here. Or else, I will make sure that your car will lose all it glass in the windows.

Abhi: That idiot, I should have beat him nicely.

Sanketh: He is acting like he gave the money. I have told him that I will give, But every time he sees me he comes and does something to make me angry.

Abhi: Why don't you just ignore and go.

Sanketh: You know his father right? That day when I told I am still looking for a job, he told to work as a servant in his house. He told me I could keep the house clean and wash the dishes. 

Abhi: Isn't he a doctor?

Sanketh: Yes, he is doctor and highly educated. But, he acts like an sadist.

Abhi: But, still you shouldn't let him beat you man..

Sanketh: You don't know him man. That day his father called me to write his sons assignment, just because he wanted to take his family to a movie. Those are stupid people. They all are high on money. 

Abhi: You went to write assignments also?

Sanketh: Just, forget about them man. He became a doctor, because my father stopped pursuing higher studies and started working. My father was giving him the money every month. Now, look at them. They have forgotten everything. My father sacrificed his future for his brother, but now he is asking for money. Dude, he has crores of money in the bank. But, still he wants our money.

Abhi: Family.. Sometime, I think there is no such thing as family.

Sanketh: Yes bro, Family is just a word. Only thing that I believe in friendship.

Abhi: Now that's what I wanted to here.

Abhi and Sanketh will high-five. 

Abhi: So, what happened with your meeting with Rajeev Bawal?

Sanketh: He is an idiot bro, Its a long story. Come we'll go to your house. I will tell it there.

Sanketh and Abhi will go to the house.
