SENSEI (CONT'D)

  You can join . Only on one condition

  SHRINU

  I agree to whatever you have to say.

  SENSEI

  Let me tell you the condition for the sake of it . You can never kill anyone .

  Shrinu goes really close to sensei and whispers in his ears

  SHRINU

  (Whispering) Even if i kill someone you will never know

  SENSEI

  I will know don't worry about it . I will know .

  SHRINU

  Have you ever??

  SENSEI

  Let's talk somewhere else .

  They go to a park nearby . There were people casually jogging and running around . They sat in a bench under a tree .

  SENSEI (CONT'D)

  This tree below which we are sitting is really close to me .

  SHRINU

  How is that?

  SENSEI

  When i was a kid . I had a friend of mine , she had always been my friend. She was not that pretty to be honest . But she never left my side . So one day i asked her what if she left me what should i do then . So she planted this tree saying that she will be with me through this tree.

  SHRINU

  So did she leave you ?

  SENSEI

  You can say that . But it was my fault , she was by side for a long time . We married had kids , it was all going nicely . But....

  SHRINU

  Another "BUT" i don't like when this "BUT" comes in between

  SENSEI

  I can understand. But we were having a huge loan and i was a martial arts teacher . How could i pay all that , so one day they came to my house to ask for money . My wife answered and they started to misbehave , and i was a young hot blooded fool . I punched that guy to death , it only took me 3 punches . Just 3 punch for a life , it's really easy to kill someone but really to save one . My wife was really traumatized after that , we had to leave the place to save our lives .

  38.

  We went to another place without money or anything. It was winter and there was heavy snowfall , i gave her a train ticket for us and left to bring some food . I told her to wait for us , and not leave till i return and not go anywhere cause it could be dangerous. While i went to buy food , some of the guys found me . They chased me and i ran and hide somewhere . Suddenly there was a huge storm , so i hide somewhere the whole night . The next morning i went to meet my family back . There was crowd all over , i pushed myself in . And saw my wife holding my kids tightly to herself exactly at the place i told her wait . They all were lifeless . She still held to the ticket so tightly, hoping that i would return to her . Till the end of her life she was by my side . Believe me kid you kill someone and you regret it for life .

  SHRINU

  I don't know what to say . I am really sorry for what happened to you .

  SENSEI

  It's fine ...

  There was a sudden silence while wind was breezing .

  SHRINU

  It must have been really hard for you to overcome all that . Losing someone cause of your own fault.

  SENSEI

  Yes it is hard . But you need to learn to change yourself

  SHRINU

  But why did you share such an important incident with me .

  SENSEI

  You know exactly why .... i can see my past in you , confused , angry , broken and alone

  Shrinu was quite again
