Anirudh and Bondita were about to leave but the waiter stopped them for bill. Anirudh gave the bill and held Bondita's hand and ran out of the cafe like there is no tomorrow.


This time luck wasn't on their side as they couldn't find a single taxi. After waiting for 5 more minutes Anirudh looked at his clock and closed his eyes.

Anirudh : Bondita.....

Bondita : Ji, Patibabu?

Anirudh : Mere sath bhag payogi?

Bondita : Kaha?

Anirudh : Court tak?

Bondita got confused as she didnt know how far the court was but seeing Anirudh's vulnerability, she couldn't say no. Bondita nods at Anirudh's direction. Just as they were about to run, a man peeps out from his taxi and waves at them then stops the taxi right in front of them. The man was none other than the taxi driver from yesterday.

The driver was laughing his heart out after hearing what Anirudh was planning to do.

Taxi Driver : Dada apko pata bhi hain high court idhar se kitna dur hain? Agar abhi daurna shuru karte toh parso pohuchte!

The driver said as he laughed.

Anirudh : Pata hain dada par tabhi dimag kaam nahi kar raha tha.......dada ap thoda jaldi ja sakte hain? Ap jitna dheere ja rahe hain waise bhi kal ya parso hi pohuch payenge court. Mera interview shuru hone main 6 minute baki hain ab.

The driver felt a bit offended after hearing about his slow driving pace from Anirudh's mouth but didn't show it.

Taxi driver : Aisi baat hain? Thik hain. Kursi ki peti acche se bandh lijiye aap dono......

Just as he said those words, he pulled his gear forward and started driving the car at the speed of light. Both Anirudh and Bondita got scared due to the speed.

Anirudh : Dada thoda aishtha chalaiyena!

The driver then looks at his wristwatch while driving his vehicle on lightspeed.

Taxi Driver : Apka Interview shuru hone main abhi 4 minute baki hain. Apko time rehte pahuchna hain ya nahi?

Anirudh : Haan magar.....

Taxi Driver : Phir chup rahiye aur mujhe apna kam karne dijiye!

Anirudh becomes quiet and the Taxi driver then gets busy driving. The driver then stops the taxi in front of the court with 1 minute time left in hand.

Taxi driver : Lijiye! Pohuch gaye aap ke manjir par!

Anirudh then immediately gets out and checks his wristwatch with 50 seconds left in his hands. Anirudh then thanks the driver but gets confused on where to keep Bondita.

Taxi driver : Ek kam kijiye....Boudi, ap taxi main hi reh lijiye jabtak Dada wapis aate hain.

Anirudh : Bondita yahape....

Anirudh didn't feel comfortable keeping Bondita alone with a stranger which the driver understood. So he suggests keeping the taxi door open just in case Bondita feels uncomfortable and wants to be out.

Anirudh : Kuch galat nahi samjhiyega dada....

Taxi Driver : Nahi main samajh sakta hun! Bas agar Boudidi ko koi aitraaz na ho toh.....
