S: There we were, celebrating together. It was what was the most momentous time of the day, the cutting of the cake. And then, from the TV blaring in the next room, came the sound. The song about heartbreak from the film ‘Dil’ (Heart).
A: A mere coincidence.
S: I think not. The other day, by mere coincidence, the film was about heartbreak. Today, the song was about heartbreak.
A: There are many songs about heartbreak. It is just a coincidence.
S: How do you know? How do you know that heartbreak doesn’t just follow me around?
A: Why would it?
S: That is what you would say. You don’t live this life of pain and sorrow.
A: You can find happiness in this life. Right now you are with someone.
S: How can you be sure of love in a life like this? Everything is hard and complicated.
A: Do you think anything easy is worth it?
S: Possibly not.
A: Tell me about this song from this film.
S: The man thinks that the woman has betrayed him. He sings the song of pain. Before his eyes, there flash the key moments of his love with this woman. The moments when he believed that she loved him.
A: Is he trying to relive those moments?
S: Perhaps he is seeing them through pain.
A: What does it feel like to be betrayed by someone?
S: You do not know? It has never happened to you? It is pain upon pain. It is disbelief and shock. It is trauma. It is an open wound.
A: And this wound has crept into your happiness?
S: In this life, all around us there is darkness and pain. For a moment, you think that you have forgotten it. It does not forget you. The past haunts us.
