Gulam: Steven! Good to see you brother! How are
you? How was your trip?
Steven: It was fine. I’ve been better but, it’s great to
be home, I’ve missed you all! How’s mom?
Gulam: She’s great! All she ever does is talk about
you -her little boy that went to the United
States. You’re her pride and joy, you know
that?
Steven: Can’t wait to see her. And you? What’s new
with you?
Gulam: Well, Nisha and I are expecting! You’ll have
another nephew or niece soon!
Steven: That’s great! Wow! Congrats! You two are
great together, ya know. You have such a
beautiful family. I hope one day I can have
that.
Gulam: Of course, man! Come on! I mean, every-
thing was set here for you to marry Shalini!
You know, she’s still pining after you. I don’t
think she’ll ever get over you.
Steven: What are you talking about? I hardly knew
her! How could she be in love with me? I
couldn’t go through with it even though she
is a great woman. No, I left my heart in the
United States. I just hope Veronica is happy.
Gulam: Get over it! You’re home now. Everyone
here thinks so highly of you; there’ll be girls
throwing themselves at you. You can marry
anyone you want!
Steven: I don’t want to marry anyone! I want to
marry her! Don’t you understand?
Gulam: You are incorrigible.
Liliana: Steven! My baby how are you! I’ve missed
you so much!
Steven: Hey, mom! Great to see you!
Liliana: You look so thin! Didn’t those Americans
feed you? Come come, let’s have some
chai. By the way... There is a girl here wait-
ing for you.
Veronica: Hi Steven.
Steven: Veronica! How did you get here? How did
you know where I live? I waited for you at
the airport but you never showed...
Veronica: I also have some little secrets that I haven’t
told you about, but we can discuss that later.
I realized that I was just scared. Scared of
how much I love you and of the commitment
that marriage requires. I’m here now. Now
there is something I wanna ask you. Steven,
will you marry me?
Priest: I now declare you, husband and wife. You
may kiss the bride.
