The cakes at waste

Scene 1
Interior/ day/ a coffee shop.

Two friends, Rita and Rohan sitting and having a chat.

Rohan:
Yes, but it’s their decision, we can’t do anything about it.
Rita:
What do you mean by we cant do anything about it. We are their friends. If we don’t do anything then who will?

Rohan takes out a cigarette from his shirt pocket and lights it.

Rohan:
Look, Rita it’s not easy for me okay? We are supposed to be friends but when things get out of hand there is very little we can do. Its not that I don’t want them to patch up but after talking individually to them…

Rita:
…them what? Huh?
Don’t talk like a jerk. It was just the heat of the moment when they had sworn at each other, do you think they really meant what they said…and…

Ringgg…ringgg…(Rita’s cell phone ringing)

Rita receives the call

Rita on the phone:
Hello?

Suresh on the other side:
Hey Rita is rohan with you?

Rita:
Yes, but what happened, tell me.

Suresh:
Achcha we need to talk right now, can you guys come over to my place…

Rita:
okay...fine...bye

Cut to a taxi

Scene 2
Exterior/day/inside a hired taxi.

Rita and rohan talking to each other


Rita:
Rohan do you think that bitch has anything to do with this?

Rohan:
I really have no idea. Everything is so murky…

Ringgg…ringggg…Rita’s cell phone ringing again

Rita on the phone:
Yes suresh, we are just there…is neeti also coming?

Suresh:
Arre they are all here…both neeti and pratima…and even akhil is here with us
You guys come quickly

Rohan (to the taxi driver):
Dada, please pull over.
How much?

Rita pulls open the cab door.
And then there is a long transitional cut to an elevator door closing and the lift goes up…

Rita:
I really with that everything gets sorted out today…it’s really bugging me

Scene 3
Interior/ day/ Suresh’s apartment.

Suresh, akhil, neeti and pratima are sitting on the sofa and having a light conference.

Suresh:
Akhil its no use talking to them ok? partima and neeti wont understand this way

Akhil:
Listen neeti, I know pritam is your best friend from school, but even I know him personally, and I know he isn't a saint!

Neeti:
Achcha suresh, how does pritam come into the picture? Yes he’s my friend from school and all, but I would have reacted in the same way had it been some other guy!

Neeti takes out a cigarette from a pack and starts smoking.

Akhil:
Neeti, you smoking again?

Neeti blows out a smoke ring and stares blankly at akhil. And suddenly breaks into tears.

Cut to the main door opening and rohan and Rita hurries in.



Rohan taking a seat beside neeti and tending her hair consoles her, and Rita sits beside pratima and hugs her.

Pratima:
I think there is no point discussing it again. I think we have had a lot of these silly conversations…
I really don’t want to know who is right or who is wrong, but I can’t take it anymore.

Neeti:
Exactly!
Look you guys, I don’t know how things are going to shape up from here on, but I really don’t want to let anything happen to 'our' friendship.
I know it will be tough for you people, but then I can’t help it at all.

Cut to akhil going to the kitchen.

There is a weird smile on his face.

Rita sensing something unusual takes a peek at akhil. She sees that akhil is taking out a cake form the refrigerator.

Rita:
You bastard…what’s this…and why is your face so lit up?

Akhil:
Oh My God!!
Shit Rita how did you…I mean why did you come here…
You will spoil the whole thing.

Rita:
What do you mean you jerk?

Cut to the room where the others are seated.

Neeti (thinking in her mind):
What is taking akhil so long? I even saw Rita going to the kitchen. I hope she doesn’t spoil the whole thing.

Pratima:
Neeti…I think its high time that we parted ways. I don’t know whose fault is it, but I think…
Akhil! Rita! What the fuck???
Akhil and Rita with a huge cake in their hands come barging in and slams a piece each on pratima and Rohan’s faces.

Rohan:
Bastards…I knew something is wrong.
As he bursts into laughter and smashes a piece on Akhil’s face and throws another piece at rita…who ducks at the right time…the cake misses her but lands on the adjacent wall and spoils it!
Neeti also joins in and there is a chaos…while pratima still gazes in awe…

Rita:
Achcha people…I think I should break the ice now, I cant see pratima like this anymore.
She giggles with a cake fed face and continues
Suresh, pritam and akhil planned the whole thing out. Akhil had called up neeti and discussed the whole thing to her.

Neeti:
And after hearing the whole plan, I was so excited that I thought it should be acted out real nicely or else it won’t be any fun at all…so…

Suresh:
So we didn’t mention anything about the plan to anyone. Only we four knew about it…
Until ofcourse Rita got airs about the whole thing and caught akhil red handed in the kitchen…and joined in! Ha-ha.

Neeti:
Look pratima, you are such a chicken! We will always get the chicken fooled…ha-ha…
But man, don’t be mad at us now! And don’t worry about your boyfriend, he’s still yours, and even pinky ihas a boyfriend now. It was us who chalked out the whole confusion for you! Ha-ha…

Pratima rushes out of the room hearing all this…

Neeti:
Shit man, I think we hurt her big time…
Will she ever…WOOOAAAHH!!!
You bitch…

Neeti screams out while pratima lets a whole cake land on her face!

Pratima:
You bitch! you think I didn’t know anything about this? Ha-ha.
Akhil had told me everything about it yesterday itself…my god! does he carry a big mouth on his face!!! But he is such a sweet heart!

Akhil:
SURPRISE!!

Everyone brings akhil down and bathes him in cream and slaps!
