"I didn't see you coming." "Coming and going are beyond human control, brother." "Such a nice well." "Whoever got it made indeed did a very virtuous deed." "My grandfather got it made." "Oh !" "Pardon me, sir!" "My humblest regards, sir!" "You seem to be new to the area... or else you must have definitely known of sir's glorious lineage." "The glory of Seth Bhanwarlal of Navalgarh is all over." "I feel blessed to have seen you in person, sir." "Sir..." " Yes?" "Should I ask you something if you don't mind?" "You seem to be just married." "What makes you leave so soon?" "Doesn't matter if you don't want to disclose." "Pardon me, sir.. if.." "No, no." "The turmeric tan can wait to fade away.."

"And there would be no one to question me for the next five years.'" "Despite being a ghost he has loved truly." "His love is genuine." "O' God.. this is incomprehensible?" "Stop him, dear." "My dear, the storm of love is stoppable by none." "Idiot, wear the turban at least." "That's better." "Phutarmal..." "what am I seeing?" "Sir..." " He seems like our Kisanlal." "Yes, sir, he does look like our Kisanlal." "But what makes him come back from midway?" "Phutarmal, a man becomes useless after marriage." "All hopes of increased earning have gone kaput!" "One can either do business or cozy up to his wife." "Father.. father... father, listen to me first." " What the heck do you want me to hear?" "If you didn't wish to go for business just for the sake of your wife... why did you waste these three days, you no-gooder!" "No, father.." "I came back to ask you something." "If you don't wish, I will return without entering the house." "Tell me!" "What did you want to ask?" "!" "I happened to meet a sage on my way." "Kishanlal, there isn't any dearth of sages and ascetics in this country." "You haven't come back by losing money... to some deceitful disguised sage, have you?" "No, no.. father.. father..." "Listen to the whole thing." " Hmm!" "He was seated in deep meditation." "Since ages, I suppose." "His whole body was covered with termites." "I removed all that very gently and carefully." "Then I drew water from the well, gave him a nice bath... fed him to his heart's content and served him as best as I could." "Bless you." " He said the same." "What?" " Bless you.' And he granted me a boon." "The sage granted me a boon that every morning..." "Hold it!" "Hold it!" "Phutarmal-ji, make a move now." "He will go on and on with his tall tale." "Make a move!" " Sir!" "Boon !" "Are you crazy?" "!" "One should be selective of the audience." "Tell me, what boon did he grant you?" "Father, he granted me a boon that every morning... the moment I get down from my bed.." "..I will get five gold coins." "Well, I will abide by your orders!" "Where?" "!" "Child.. stay here.." "and help your father." "Now go and take some rest." " As you order, father." "And, listen... this boon thing shouldn't fall on a second ear." "No way!" "No first.. no second!" "And, listen... go to bed early." "You have to get up early, right?" "And I forgot something, child." " Now what, father?" "Bless you, my son !" "Brother Kishan has come!" " What?" "Mother.." "Kishan Bhaiyya (brother) has come!" "Come, let's tell everyone." " C'mon." "So soon?" "What's the matter, Kisna?" "You returned midway?" "is everything alright?" "Came back so soon?" "My dear son !" "Brother-in-law!" " Kisna!" "Draw a few buckets of water from the well." "Son, have a bath." "The food will be ready in the meanwhile." ""Burn slowly..."" ""..on the flame of life.""

"There would be no one more beautiful than you... and more fortunate than me, in the whole world." "So you have calculated the fortunes of the whole world!" "I am speaking the truth." "Why did you go in the first place, by breaking my heart?" "I cried so much." "You would have drowned in my tears." "I have indeed drowned." "See I pulled you back." "I knew that you would be back from midway." "The stars in the night would have never allowed you to proceed further." "Why did you go?" " Where did I go?" "I was very much near you."

"I'm an illusionist." "A spirit." "I can assume any form as and when I wish." "I am in love with you." "And that made me take on your husband's guise to meet you." "But for my own revelation... no one would have known the reality of this form of mine." "Father is only concerned with his five gold coins everyday." "But had I not disclosed this to you, Lachho... it would have been impossible for me to even breath." "I would have been suffocated." "My love is yours, Lachho." "My love is true." "When you felt someone's presence near the pond... and your lips started to tremble just like this... I lost myself." "I was totally transformed." "I tuned into a deep longing... to spend every moment with you... to be one with you." "A longing to become one with your breaths." "You fool, what's the need to tell all this to Lachchi?" "She would have unhesitatingly made love with you... taking you to be her real husband." " Just see the irony, dear." "The man who took the marriage vows with her... of being her spouse for seven lives left her in less than seven hours even." "And look at him." "Despite being a ghost he couldn't lie to her." "Love has made him go total nuts, my dear." "What's the need to speak the truth?" "Deception and betrayal are like second nature to men." "Even the divine beings have sinned." "But no woman would have ever faced such a dilemma." "Life is difficult without you, now." "And death is impossible." "But if it's not your wish... I will go back, this very moment."

"But when you were planning to come here what was the need to send the letter?" "lnvestigate about me later... first tell me what took you so long?" " So long!" "?" "Of course it takes so much time to reach here on foot." "I see." "You must have arrived on some carriage for sure." "Give me this letter!" "And proceed on your work." "I've got a lot of work to do and I am sure you too have a lot to attend to." "Bhoja.." " Yes, sir." "Go." "Should I go?" " What else?" "You want to sit on my head?" "Go." "Surprising!" "He didn't offer any refreshments or food to a guest!" "Kishan seth, when are you coming back?" "What are you tearing?" "Nothing." "Hey, just now there was a letter in your hand." "Banwari, it seems you are making it too strong these days." "You've come back?" "I was waiting for you." "Did father give any letter for me?" "Bhoja.. why are you staring at me?" "Do you not recognise me?" "What are you doing?" "Sir, tell me first, how could you reach here so fast?" "By flying?" "Flying?" "Me!" "?" "From where?" " Your village." "My village?" " Yes!" "No." "I haven't stepped out of here in the last six months." "Sir.. sir... I met you in Navalgarh on the fourteenth day of the lunar month... at your mansion !" "Okay." "Okay." "Bhoja, enough of the jokes." "Tell me, did father give you anything else along with the letter?" "Sir, it is rather you who are playing jokes on me." "Am I joking?" "I am joking?" " Yes." "Oh, I see." "Just see, I dealt with a drunkard." "Am I a drunkard?" " Yes, drunkard!" "Hold the stick!" "I handed his letter.. to him.." "in his own village... for which he is slandering me."

"I just fail to understand this obsession of... dispatching a letter to self and receiving it by self at the other end." "No, brother.. what obsession !" "?"

"Let alone the experienced riders, they will win this year's race... ..with kids riding over their back." " Yes." "Sunderlal also took the responsibility on the same premise." "And went away after losing." "He left even his young wife and infant behind." "It's been seven years.." "of life filled with... the embarrassment of losing the race... and the pain of separation from my younger brother." "You dare mention 'race' again and..." "You have decided to abstain from attending rituals, is it?" "My respects." "Races, my foot!" "There is not a single camel in all of nearby villages... that can match up to our Ram and Lakhan." "Grant me an opportunity to... ..get rid of the disgrace of loss." "Father... only your blessings are needed now." "And, yes..." "Who knows?" "Maybe uncle Sunder might come back... after hearing the news of our winning the race." "Done!" "Done!" "Just see how time flies!" "Master will be mighty pleased with... the way you have made his investments flourish." "Father will..." "Two years, Mangi kaka!" "Sometimes I feel the family has forgotten me." "No letter, no message, nothing at all." "If the situation persists... I might end up forgetting even the taste of my mother's food." "Uncle..." " Yes?" "Better make a trip to Navalgarh yourself." "Bring atleast some news from there." "Gone crazy?" "I will be killed!" "He will demand an explanation for neglecting my duties.." "by leaving you alone." "You can go on the pretext of handing over all this money to him, can't you?" "Instead of looking out for pretexts... might as well write to him and take his permission." "Then we both will go together." "Yes." " Yeah !" "Right away." "Respected father..." "Just check who is there." "Who is it?" "I heard you're going to Shekhawati tomorrow." "Got to dispatch this letter to Navalgarh, to my home." "It's an important letter." "Make no mistake this time around." "We've kept the wheat bag inside." " For you." "And bring an immediate reply from sir." " Here, take it." "You didn't offer me water even, last time." "But how could I.." " Please leave now!" "Let's go, sir." "What are you doing?" "!" "Hey!" "What are you doing?" "!" "Neither will you go to Navalgarh, nor will you deliver any letter... to anyone!" " Hey!" "Why?" "!" "After calling you a drunkard in front of the whole community... who wants a bread earned out of compromising our dignity?" "Wanted to ask something more, father." "Sure, go ahead!" "With your kind permission, I was thinking of constructing... a water well with a travellers' inn adjacent to it... for the benefit of village folks." " Shucks!" "Sir, talking of spending money, the first thing in the morning!" "?" "Seems the imprudence of the whole world... has been ordained to my Krishnalal." "Till date we are required to slog... to collect revenues from the villagers." "And here this guy seems to have totally lost his head." "But you said that my coming back has proved auspicious." "The rates of silver have risen sharply... and even the business is prospering, isn't it?" "So?" "There's something I need to tell you, father.." "Good wishes and blessings of the deprived souls... multiplies a hundred times." "Phutarmal..." "How many hands would the Lord have?" " May be a 100." "Here you are!" "When those 100 hands of the Lord... couldn't do any good for the deprived ones what difference are your two... hands going to make?" " Easy, father." "Easy." "Here!" "Very naughty." "That you should be fondly remembered even after the passage of a century... or more, that's why I'm insisting on constructing a well, father." "Moreover... you did promise that sage.." "that from the five coins everyday.." "What's this mention of five coins every now and then?" "Keep quiet, Kanwarlal!" "And I am really pleased to hear about your consent for the race." "Did I give my consent?" "We will make both Ram and Lakhan participate in the race." "One will have to win, anyhow." "Kids, applause!" "All of you have united." "Father, with your permission..?" " Go, son." "You've got to construct the well." "Go." "But one will not find a single spot in the village... where one can strike water." "Applause!" "This is the second time that Mr. Kanwarlal has said something wise." "Get some sweets for him." "Uncle Kanwar... just trust me and say 'yes'." "Yes." "And father, I am sure of striking water... at the spot that I have identified." "Don't spend a single penny... if he doesn't get water." "But striking water is certain." "And we will win the race, for sure." "Uncle Kanwar has agreed." "Isn't it, father?" "Seems everyone has gone nuts." "Come along." "We would have together prayed for our wishes to be granted." "Only if I had any wishes!" "Hope and faith lead to fulfilment of vows." "I've seen it happening." "What's the need to ask God to compel someone to return... when he had gone out of his own free will." "Better you go." "For you, it's just the beginning of life." "It's been two years of marriage." "Be merciful on my dear daughter-in-law." "And grant a suitable groom and nice in-laws to this crazy... daughter of mine." "Grant everyone's wishes!" "Make their dreams come true!" "The last camel race brought a storm along with it." "Clear all the fog this time around." "Protect the prestige of my family!" "Look there, Kanwarlal is coming." "is he here as a mere spectator or is he competing?" "Well, is a trader's camel meant to compete?" "Don't worry." "We'll handle it." "Wait!" "Behold it from far." "Let him see it to his heart's content." "Anyway, we are going to claim it as a prize." "The poor boy won't get a chance to see it for another year." "Have a nice look at it, dear." " Hey... where is your uncle?" "Look there!" "Kanwarlal is right." "We should let Banwari and Phutarmal... ride the camels instead of them." " But, Banwari and Phutarmal!" "?" "Keep quiet." "You're not aware of Hari Singh's guile." "Your father had fallen prey to the same deceit of his in the last race!" "But this time we won't let that happen !" "You go!" "You too move!" "Go back!" "Both of you have to ride the camels!" " No!" "But..." " lt's a matter of the family's prestige." "Greetings!" " Greetings!" "Bhanwarlal-ji" "Really glad to see you after so many years." "It's not something trivial, friends." "The lord and the master of a family whose camel left the race midway... and whose own brother showed his back to him... needs real courage to participate again in such a event." "Courage!" "Isn't it?" "Here, Lajju... go and put this necklace... around Arjun's neck even before he wins." "And whisper this in his ear that after being victorious... he will get another magnificent reward." "A pearl necklace in the camel's neck." "Arjun isn't a camel." "He is like my son, rather." "Arjun !" "We have got to win !" "Bless you, Arjun !" "Bravo, my child!" "Banwari, c'mon !" "Banwari, c'mon !" "Phutarmal, buck up!" "Turn, Banwari!" "Banwari!" "Turn !" "Banwari.. turn back or else I'll make life difficult for you !" "Run !" "Run !" "C'mon, Banwari.. buck up!" "Keep going!" "BANWARl!" "Phutarmal!" "They fell off!" "What's happened to them all of a sudden?" "Come!" "Come, Banwari!" "They were running so well!" "Don't know what went wrong?" "I'll see to it!" "Run, Arjun !" "Arjun, run !" "Keep going." "Keep going." "How dare the Thakurs hit Kisna despite you all being there?" "!" "Sister, we were busy celebrating when they took advantage..." "You quietly endured it then." "What's the use of screaming now?" "It's not a serious injury anyway." "But I just don't understand what Kisna's fault was?" "Hey!" "Instead of congratulating me for victory, you are scolding me?" "Listen..." "listen..." "listen... instead of nursing my wounds you are snubbing me." "Give me the reason of your silence, at least." "I thought you too would be happy with our winning the race." "Ok, it was my mistake, forgive me." "Want me to do sit-ups?" "I won't spare those Thakurs!" "Lachho..." "Lachho!" "What was the need to show your spells?" "I have totally forgotten that..." "Please don't remind me that you are a ghost" "Don't do any such thing which might remind me... of you not being a human." "What if everyone gets to know of it?" "You know everyone was discussing this... that there was some witchcraft during the race." "Lachho, let people talk anything they wish to." "But they can never prove it." "Sit down." "And see the 'Turban' is back in the mansion." "What if we had pay for it with our relationship?" "Please don't do any such thing." "You are under my oath !" "Under an oath of my love." "No, Lachho." "I won't do it." "I'll never do it." "This is the punishment to make me cry." "What are you doing?" "And this is the punishment of loving me so much." "Lachho!" "Where are you lost, Seth-ji?" "In your wife's memory?" "Tomorrow or the day after... send in some berries while passing by." " What?" "Mangi kaka likes them." "Here..." "I'll keep them right away." "Okay... here you account is settled." "Manager, just wait." "They are so nice, aren't they?" "Get me a handful." "Berries?" "is this something worth eating?" "It's meant for animals." ""The eyes are blank without you."" ""Where are you lost?"" ""The eyes are blank without you."" ""Where are you lost?""

"Get aside." "Sit... sit, Lachho." "What happened, daughter-in-law?" " l felt giddy." "What are you staring at, standing here?" "Go and ask your father to distribute... sweets in the village." "She is expecting." "We will have to protect her from the evil eye." "Rakma, you are going to become an aunt and I would be a granny now." "In what play of nature are you stuck?" "Don't worry." "Celebrate, rather." "His life has been fruitful." "Even if he isn't there his lineage will continue." "A lineage of their love." "The seed of Lachchi's love... and the inheritance of a spirit's affection." "The legacy of Lachchi's beauty..." " Enough, dear." "What when the real husband comes back?" "Just think what all will Lachhi have to go through?" "And what will happen to the offspring?" "Send the news to her maternal home... along with the sweets." "Only if he could have his way, he would go flying away... to deliver the news." "Come, inside." "Let's go." " C'mon, Lachchi." "Where have I reached walking alongside you !" "I too wonder the same." "Had I not been to the pond that day... how would I have spent these many years." "How else?" "By wearing silk... and relishing the delicacies." "Yeah, you would have learnt accounts." "I'm leading such a strange life." "Maybe I'll never know as to what you are to me." "Do you know this relation of ours... ls unbreakable." "What are you doing!" "?" "This image of yours... never crossed my mind." "Only a woman makes a man complete." "You are saying this because you are a ghost." "Had you been a human being, you would have never said anything so nice." "Sit for a while." "Should I ask for something more?" "From me?" " Yeah." "Give me a daughter, if possible." "I also need a daughter." "As if a son would guarantee us a place in the heaven." "I agree." "A daughter who brings light in our lives." "Ujariya." "We will name her as 'Ujariya' (light)." "Ujariya?" " Yes." "Ujaali (light)." " Ujaali!" "?" "Ujaali (light)." "That's fine as well." "Ujaali!" "Fine!" "The one whose glow would light up all the directions." "Ujaali!" "Kisan Bhaiyya... we have struck water!" "We have hit upon water!" "At the same spot that you suggested!" "The whole village is blessed." "As if the river 'Looni' has sprung in the village." "Let's go and tell everyone!" "Auspicious signs of our daughter's arrival?" "Yes." "Listen..." "We will name our daughter 'Looni Ma.'" "Looni Ma?" ""The water has sprung to life.""

"Kanwar kaka, who is he?" "Who are you?" "Father..." "I am your Kishan." "Who is he?" "Banwari!" "Banwari, call the midwife urgently." "But there are still two months to go." "Go, Banwari!" "Seems the child wants to take birth in this very house." "That's why even before leaving for her maternal home..." "Aunt..." "There's nothing to worry, child." "The moment the midwife arrives, everything will be fine..." "Aunt..." "Why are you looking at me like that, aunt?" "I'm Kisna." "Your Kisna." "Aunt!" "Aunt!" "Go inside, sister." "Near the daughter-in-law." "You go in." "What drama is this?" "Who are you?" "Where have you come from?" " l've come from Jamnagar, father!" "I'm your son !" " Shut up!" "And go away from here!" "Come, son." "Let's go in." "Father!" "Father, I... I'm Kishan..." "How can you be Kishan?" "Uncle..." "I'm indeed Kishan." " Even your manner of speaking... is the same." " How else would it be?" "Mother..." "Even you fail to recognise the one whom you have given birth." "This..." "Mother, go and ask your daughter-in-law... about the berry incident..." "she'll tell you everything." "These..." "I plucked them myself." "Go and ask her at least." "is this any time to ask about berries?" "She is fighting with death there and he is talking about berries." "What the heck!" "is she an ignorant fool to eat berries?" "And if you are Kisna, where is Mangilal?" "Why didn't he come along?" "Answer him." "Who would have taken care of business at Jamnagar?" "You?" "I mean... you, uncle?" "Banwari!" "Kisna never retorts and here you are, arguing with elders?" "Why don't you say anything, child?" "What's the need for my Kishanlal to say anything?" "And you imposter!" "If your self respect is dear to you... better leave right away or else..." "I said go!" "Father..." " Get lost." "Mother..." "I am Kishan... mother." "Get lost from here with your berries!" "Just get out." "Instead of questioning that imposter, you are questioning me." "Father, look." "Just have a look." "Here is your daughter-in-law's ring." "How can it be with me?" " How do I know!" "?" "Then go and ask her, father!" "When we were returning after the wedding, she had given... this ring to me." "Better ask her." "What's the harm?" "O God!" "Two men with similar faces?" "It's the bad omen of the Dark Age." "What drama is this!" "?" " Shut up!" "This is our internal matter!" "We'll settle it ourselves!" "No need for the villagers to poke their nose in between." "Whom should we trust!" "?" "Don't know who is right and who is not." "He must have come in greed of wealth." "Get lost, all of you !" "Kishanlal, go inside." " Yes, father." "Not you !" "You go inside, Kishanlal!" "Didn't I ask you to go?" "Lachchi child, the midwife is saying..." " No!" "Listen, Lachchi..." "listen..." "What's the matter?" " The child's stuck inside!" "The midwife is advising an operation." "Or it would endanger Lachchi's life." "Let me meet her once." "Uncle Kanwar, that thug has entered our mansion... and you people are..." " He is worried about his wife." "He isn't like you." "Kanwarlal, there's no need to explain anything to this imposter." "Rakma... take them inside!" "Lachho... my Lachho..." "Never leave me." "I take an oath on our Looni Ma... no power in the world can... separate me from you." "From both of you." "If this precedent of having two husbands is set... the traditions will go for a toss." "It might not be a big deal for people like you... but life would become miserable for the poor?" "The point is of justice, Bhanwar Seth." "Everything should be crystal clear." "When does one get a chance to disgrace the rich and the mighty?" "It is something rare." "Just see, everyone will start talking relentlessly now." "And that devil with the berries just don't know what vengeance he holds." "Ask the Seth to fill his mouth with money." "Or else things would go beyond control." "No matter what power the money possesses... it can never hire four shoulders to carry the bier." "Justice should be meted out." " Yes" "Or the whole community will be disgraced." "No one knows who the real one is." "One has to be proved a fake." "Since that camel race, I have been suspicious." "What race, brother?" "What would you gain by disgracing me?" "We live like brothers." "And we help each others in times of need." "Everyone has been benefited because of my son." "You are full of praises for his work." "Father..." " This berry guy is the imposter." "Kick him out of here!" "No, uncle..." "Trust me!" "I'm your Kishan !" "I am..." "Kishan !" "Congratulations, brother-in-law!" "It's a girl." "The ladyluck has smiled on this house." "Both the mother and the child are fine." "Mother!" "What's the matter?" " Mother, father has come back." "What!" "?" " Yes!" "And, sister Rakma was saying that..." "Come here, son !" "Come here!" "Forgive me if possible..." "Please forgive me." "Come... come here..." "Sunder kaka, there is so much to call our own." "Don't lose them ever." "The moments of life just slip by." "This can't be settled without the intervention of the King." "Better produce them to the King." "Yes, let the King decide." "Yeah, sure." "Kindly consider my plea." "Allow me to see my daughter before going." "What's the hurry?" "Once the justice is imparted, you have all the time to be with her." "That's right!" "What's happening here...?" "Brother, only God knows what is in store for me." "But, you very well know that, I am Seth Bhanwarlal's real son." "So who are you after all?" "Real... unreal!" "Truth and untruth !" "We have such hollow beliefs." "Hey, what rubbish are you talking?" "Tell me the truth !" "Did you marry her at the wedding altar?" "Did you take the seven marital vows?" "What difference do the vows make?" "The plea of marriage doesn't last for the lifetime." "What revenge are you seeking from me?" "For God's sake, tell me, who you are?" "I?" "I am the yearning that resides in a woman's heart... that's who I am." "I'm the love she wants" "Love?" " Hey, keep going." "Did you hear?" "He said he is 'love.'" "Where are so many people heading to?" "For some feast?" " We are going to the King." "To the King?" " Yes." "For what?" " For justice!" "Justice!" "?" "What justice?" "What will you do with it?" "You won't understand a bit of it." "May be." "But I might settle the issue right here." "O' King of kings..." "kindly give way and let us go." "Go, sirs!" "But isn't it possible that a needle can pull off something... which the sword can't achieve?" "Look..." "look at both of them." " Who?" "Get aside." "Aren't they identical?" "O gosh !" "Aren't they identical?" " Of course, they are." "Then who's the real one?" " What's the issue of the real... and the duplicate?" "Must be twins." "The justice is done." "I mean what's the problem if they are identical?" "The problem is, I have only one son." "And my daughter-in-law too has only one spouse." "Such a petty issue... and none of you could solve this problem?" "Everyone's set for a march to the King's palace!" "What's this?" "Both look so similar as if they are reflections in the mirror." "Brother... brother..." "Are both of them dumb and deaf?" " Not at all." "On the contrary, both have a gift of the gab." "Then just ask them who the fake one is." "Brother, we're done with this nincompoop's justice." "Kanwarlal... had he been so wise, he wouldn't have been a shepherd." "Got it!" "Got it!" "They know how to talk but they have learnt the art of lying as well." "No problem!" "No problem at all!" "Hold this." "It's a piece of cake for me to get the truth out!" "Get aside!" "I'll solve this riddle in a jiffy!" "What's he doing?" "The one who will hold this burning coal on his palm... with be the real son." "This is... this is absolute injustice, father!" "And you?" "Do you think you are the revered saint Valmiki... that you are putting us to a test of fire?" "Now let me see..." "Father!" "Father, let this shepherd say anything." "But I am your real son." "Bravo, courageous boy!" "Who else can dare to do that other than the real son !" "?" "These fools needlessly harassed you !" "But, sir, what matters is the satisfaction of the heart, isn't it?" "Come... come, buddy..." "let me put you to another test." "Come... you also come." "Come and join him here." "Look... before my seventh clap... the one who can gather all my sheep... is the real husband of the bride." "Fine?" " Yes." "Yes?" " Yes!" "Run !" "Hey, fell down." "Move." " Kishanlal... hurry up." "Kishanlal!" "Listen, the test should be such which a trader can face." "What else would a trader know but to calculate?" "Six... seven" "Caught." " Well done." "Who else can have this courage and ability other than... the real husband?" "But why should there be even an iota of doubt left?" "Let us put them to one more test." "The last and the final." "Father..." " Keep it down here!" "The final test!" "Kanwarlal, this shepherd is wasting our time." "Yes!" "Before the seventh snap of the finger... the real husband of the bride... will enter into this waterbag!" "You shepherd, have you gone mad!" "?" "In that water bag..." "Father..." "That one would be the real lover of the bride." "Never do anything that would remind me of your not being a human being.'" "'Of not being a human being!" "'" "'You are under my oath !" "Under the oath of my love!" "'" "I will have to break the oath, Lachho." "It's the test of my love!" "It's a trial in front of the world!" "Wait, don't fall for this shepherd's trap." "Don't trust a human being." " He is digging his own grave." "You don't have any idea of how deceitful human beings are." "Listen to me..." " Don't do a thing like this!" "That's it." "Justice was delayed indeed... but wasn't it fair?" "Got him!" "Father..." " May that ghost rot in hell." "He covered my eyes with gold... and, Kanwarlal, I couldn't even identify my own son !" "Bless you, my son !" "Come..." " Here.. take it." "And this..." " No, brother!" "I'm no king to seek a price for imparting justice." "You had a problem and I solved it." "Keep it." "It would help buy food for your cattle." "Sir... come here..." "My cattle are real fools, just like me." "They merrily eat grass... but don't even sniff gold." "These useless things are fit for rich people like you." "For me... my stick suits the best." "Give it to me, buddy!" ""The midnight moon..."" ""remembers everything."" ""Despite being awake in the dreams..."" ""No doubt the face is one..."" ""But I call out for two names."" ""All I get to speak is with the sand-dunes."" "But why are you so worried?" "We were the ones who had given him birth." "When we couldn't identify him... how could you have possibly done so?" "For us... you're still the same daughter who... entered this house as the daughter-in-law." "Everything will be fine." "You are not at fault, child." "And it's not even the fault of the newborn." ""The eyes are blank without you."" ""Where are you lost?"" "God only knows how many lives... I would be required to live." "All I can pray for you is that... you get the strength to face life and take your decisions." "Lachchi... only I know... how I had spent these four years... and how every night passed for me!" "And then just think... let me lift this veil..." "Thinking that..." "Before starting life afresh with you... I've got to fulfill an obligation." "Want to tell you something." "I know it!" "I know it!" "That wretch cast his spell..." " No!" "Neither did he cast any spell, nor did he try to deceive me." "He told me everything." "The whole truth !" "I had faced that moment of dilemma." "I trusted his love and truthfulness... and consented for the relationship." "The love... the respect that I got from him... will be hard to forget." "Now how can I start a new life with you?" "How can I possibly love you?" "You left a part of your other life, downstairs?" "Didn't bring Ujaali with you?" "Her name isn't Ujaali." "I know it!" "I know it!" "That we will address her as Looni Ma... is what we had decided... on the day when the water was found, isn't it?" "Looni Ma..." "Wasn't this the decision we both took?" "But everyone told me that... the shepherd captured the ghost in the waterbag." "Huh !" "I entered it with my own free will." "Since I had to prove my love!" "If the shepherd really had the power to separate us... it was a child's play for me to enter... your husband's body in order to be with you all my life." "Moreover, I had taken an oath on my daughter... of not separating from both of you." "Now will we ever separate?" "Never!" "Never for a moment!" "I'll keep you tied to me, always."
