[This scene is inserted between scenes of speech of Kizie at church for Manny and final scene of movie display]
“Manny! Manny! Manny utho !”
Manny : Kya hua? Tum yaha itni raat ko? Sab thik hai na ? Kizie: Ha, ab utho aur taiyaar ho jao, hume jaana hai. Manny: kya? Abhi? Kaha ?
Kizie: shh, CHALO.
Raat ke 11 baje hai, Kizie Manny ke ghar jaati hai aur use taiyaar karke us jagah le jaati jaha usne Manny ko pehli baar kareeb se jaana tha. Ha, woh jagah, jaha Manny sirf Kizie ko le jata tha, wreckyard. Lekin aaj woh jagah kuch aur hi dastan bayaan karne wali thi.
Kizie Manny ki aankho par patti bandh deti hai aur use sahara dete hue aage badhti hai.
“Kizie, hum kaha ja rahe hai. Aur ye paati kyu? Kahi tum mera faayda to nahi uthaane wali?”
“SHUT UP! Aur sabra rakho Immanuel Rajkumar Jr. ”
Jaise hi patti khulti hai, Manny ki aankhe Roshni se chamak uth ti hai. Charo aur us khander ko Dulhan ki tarah sajaaya jaata hai. Raat hone ke baawjood din hone ki anubhuti ho rahi thi.
“Kizie, ye sab tumne kiya ..?” “Ha Manny, sirf tumhare liye”
“CHAL JHUTI !” “Huh!”(Kizie sighs)
Yeh kehkar Kizie Manny ko aage bus ki aur le jaati hai. Charo aur ki Roshni jab taalab par padti hai, toh lagta hai aaj chaand aasman main nahi, paani mai Roshni fela raha ho....
“Kizie, ye...”
“Manny, yaha betho aur aaj sirf mujhe suno. Yeh sab maine humare liye kiya hai. Kal jab maine church mai speech di, toh mujhe realise hua ki this is not the end, humari kaahani ese khatam nahi ho sakti. Maany , mai is raat ko apni zindagi ki sabse khubsurat raat banana chahti hu. Mai apni puri zindagi aaj hi jeena chahti hu, tumhare saath.”
Manny ki aankhe bhar aati hai, par aansu abhi bhi palko par hai, jaise ki koi kashmakash mai ho.
Tabhi, Kizie, piche se cake lekar aati, “Happy birthday to you, happy birthday dear Manny, happy birthday to you! Happy birthday Mr. Immanuel Rajkumar Jr. Maine jeena tumse seekha hai, tumhare liye jee aur aage bhi saanse tumhare liye lena chahti hu Manny.”
Aansuo ko pochte hue Kizie kehti hai “Nahi, aaj rona nahi. Aaj sirf smile, Kizie wali smile!”
Ek dusro ki aankho ko niharte hue, ek dusre ki dhadkano ko sunte hue, kab waqt beet gaya, pata hi nahi chala.
“Kizie, I realized something.” “Hmm, kya?”
“Pata hai jab mera pair kata gaya tha, mai pehle ki tarah chal aur daud nahi paata tha, tab sabko mujh par daya aati thi, aur mujhe apne aap se nafrat hone lagi thi.Phir meri boring life mai JP aaya jo mera dost kum bhai ban gaya.Tab bhi mujhe kahi na kahi adhurapan lagta tha.Zindagi ruk si gayi thi, dar lagta tha ki kahi marne ke baad sab... (rote hue) Lekin phir tum aayi. Jab tumhe pehli baar dekha tha, tab tumhari aankho mai maine apni Jhalak dekhi. Aur jaise JP ne mera saath diya tha, mujhe hasna sikhaya tha, usi tarah mai tumhe jeena sikhana chahta tha. Apne sapne pure nahi kar saka , lekin tumhare saare sapne pure karna chahta tha.Apne liye kuch karna chahta tha, lekin nahi kar paaya , par tum end tak mere saath chipki rahi, chipku! Aur aakhir tak film ki heroine bani rahi. Thank you, Mrs. Kizie Basu Immanuel Rajkumar Jr.!”
“Yeh naam kaha se aaya, humne toh shaadi bhi nahi ki?”
“Maine to kar li, apne dil mai..”
Manny pata nahi kaise par serious baato mai bhi mujhe hasaana jaanta tha
“Kizie, you are the most beautiful woman amongst all the girlfriends I had”
“MANNY !”
“Majaak kar raha hu! Lekin mai tumse kuch kehna chahta hu, I..... I...... I......”
Nahi bol paya, Manny nahi bol paya woh 3 magical words, darta tha ki kahi uske jaane ke baad mai phir se jeena na bhul jau. Lekin mai jaanti thi woh mujhse kitna pyar karta hai...
Few hours later...
Manny aur Kizie bus mai baithe the, khamoshi main na jaane kitni baate keh gaye, maano yeh kudrat bhi chahti thi ki aaj unke alawa aur kisiki aawaj na sunai de...
“Manny, agar humara beta hota toh uska naam kya hota?
“umm, Jr. Manny? (pause) lekin mujhe toh Kizie 2.0 chahiye”
“Manny...”
Dono haste rahe , tabhi Manny ki tabiyat bigadti hai
“Manny, tum thik to ho na? chalo hum ghar chalte hai”
Apna sir Kizie ke kandhe par rakhte hue Manny bola,
“Kizie, mujhe neend aa rahi hai, kuch aur waqt mai yaha rehna chahta hu.
This was the best life I could ever live with you. I..... LOVE.... YOU.....”
Ek aur Manny ki saanse dheemi padh rahi thi aur dusri aur meri dhadkane taiz.. Manny, meri baaho mai us raat esa soya ke phir utha hi nahi. End tak main uske saath thi, hum khush the, mujhe isse zyada aur kuch aur nahi chahiye tha.
Us raat Jamshedpur mai esi baarish hui ke maano woh (almighty) bhi Manny ke marne ke gum mai roh raha ho. Manny meri life ka sabse haseen ehsaas hai aur hamesha rahega.
[The final scene of movie display sets here]
9 years later....
“Manny, Manny utho. Utho ,Manny, late ho rahe hai!” “Coming Kizie”
(few moments later) “Kizie meri tie kaha hai?”
“Sab kuch door ke paas hai, yaha aa jao”
Jr. Manny, mera beta, jise maine apni kok se janam nahi diya; nahi de paayi, aur na hi uski rago main mera khun hai.
Manny ki tarah woh bhi prosthesis ki madad se chalta hai aur hausle bilkul Manny ki tarah udte the.
Aaj bhi Manny ko miss karti hu lekin ab ye 8 saal ka Manny mere hasne ki wajah ban gaya hai. Aur ha, ab Manny ko yaad karke roti nahi hu, kyunki ab Thallaiva ki movie dekh leti hu jo mere favorite superstar ban gaye hai.
Aaj Jr. Manny ki tarah mera bhi pehla din hai, bahot nervous feel kar rai hu. Beetain kuch saalo mai bahot kuch badal gaya, lekin mai wahi Kizie Basu hu, jo roz subah ek nai jang ladhne ke liye uth ti hai, bas fark itna hai , ki ab apne liye nahi, dusro ke liye ladhti hu.
“Bas bhaiya, auto yahi rok do”
Cancer Counselling Institute
Aaj bhi, in baccho mai mujhe Kizie, Manny aur JP nazar aate hai. Apni kahaani ko as an audience dekhti hu, toh sari yaadain taaza ho jaati hai.
“Hello Kizie”
“Hello Dr. Jha”
“All set?” “Yes doctor.”
“Then go ahead, the stage is all yours” (Classroom mai enter karte hi)
“Hello everyone, my name is Kizie Basu aur mai Thyroid cancer ki patient .... thi.”
NOTE
As you read, I didn’t really change the ending which I could , but I did not want to.
It’s too harsh to see sad ending especially if you are Bollywood lover, but death is inevitable which everyone has to face , no matter what.
Through small changes in scene tracks, I wanted to let Manny and Kizie have their last goodbyes. When Manny was diagnosed with remission, they would have said goodbyes each night and would have been grateful the next morning to let them have few more moments with each other.
No matter how many times goodbyes are said, the last one holds a different feeling. Unexpected departure are often without goodbyes and that regret stays life long. Only left are sorriness, humiliation and helplessness. Trust me, it hurts a lot, each second.
Also, throughout the movie Manny never confessed what he felt deep down to Kizie and so I wanted to have a scene where Manny opens up to Kizie and confesses to her.
I sincerely hope I could convey my emotions and feelings to you through my work.
