Hey, it's cool. . .

l'm glad you don't usually do this

l mean, hey, l don't either. . .

No, actually what l'm

trying to say, Shai is that. . .

l'm not the relationship kind at all

you know...

and l'm really sorry

if l led you into believing...

that this was something more...

something more...

more than just a shag

l'm sorry, Shai, l don't mean to. . .

Look Shai, what l'm trying to say is that. . .

Look, l have no idea what's going on

in your head right now. . .

and l'm not sure l want to know

Arun, you know what...

lt's cool. . .

Take care, l'll see you around

Yes, Munna... come in

Any clothes for washing?

Sir...?

You know... l mean...

Well, it wasn't just the sex, Pes

Yeah. . .

Like he was really into me

and he was so intense. . .

and then, suddenly in the morning. . .

he was like a completely

different person...

hold on a sec...

Yeah...?

Come in

Pes, l'll have to call you back

This dhobi guy just walked in

and l don't know where Agnes is

Okay, bye

There were 1 2 clothes,

please count them

This has turned blue!

lt had a big stain, so l tried to whiten it

l should've told Agnes

to put this is in the laundry

lt's completely ruined now

Give it to me, l'll correct it

No. . . who knows

what colour it'll become next. . .

Damn. . .

Madam, my mistake. l'll fix it

Zohaib, l'm Shai

First Letter, Second Letter,

Third Letter

Rakesh, the people who lived here

Some tapes, a ring...

...no, a silver ring

Can't you return it to the landlord?

What if they ever ask for it?

Cool, l'll throw it away,

but don't ask for it later

Okay, bye

First Letter
