"There was no food in the house today." "So I let the children sing, so that they wouldn't ask for food." "Am I responsible for that?" "Did I ask you to run this home?"

"She's asked the right question." "Why do you want to die?" "Tell us." "If your story is interesting, I'll publish it with your photo." "Maybe Mr. Razdan will pay some extra money." " Money!" "For you, money is more important than my life!" "Uncle, why are you making her cry?" "Don't cry, or I'll start crying too!" " Don't cry." "Quiet!" "Let me listen to her story.

" What's this drama?" "But it's failed - your father has gone to get the doctor." "When the doctor finds out the truth, your father will kill me!" "Come, doctor!" "What's your problem?" " What a naive doctor you are!" "How can I tell my problem in front of everyone?" "Will you both please go out?" " Come on!" "Don't you feel ashamed?" "I'm a doctor, not a film actor!" "Beware if you come to me again!" "Madam, what happened to the doctor?" " How could I let him touch me?" "No unknown male has ever touched me!" " Shall I bring a lady doctor?" "That's not required; your daughter is more than enough." "I'll be completely cured with her care." "Here's 20 rupees." "Look after her properly." "Madam, can I go?" " Your wish."

"If he sees me in his bathroom, using his own shaving set .." "What will happen to him?" " l'll tell you!" " What?" "The rogue taxi driver!" " l'll pluck your hair with your sandals!" "How are you?" " l'm fine." "If you step on someone's foot while dancing, say "sorry"." "Not me, but him!" "You'll never understand or learn!" "Sit down." "You've made a spectacle; everyone's looking!" "Place it this way." " Why?" "If anything drops, your clothes won't get dirty." "It's absolutely tasteless!" "Pour some salt, it will be okay." "And take it with a spoon." "Take this soup." " But you haven't had any!" " lt's tasteless." "How many times I've explained to you." "I explain something at home, but you forget it outside." "Don't dirty your hands." "There's something on my chair, my dress has got wet!" "Go to the bathroom and clean it." " How can I go?" "All will see my dress." "I'll take you; come on." "Not there .. in here!" " Why not there?" " lt's for gents." "What difference does it make?" "There's only one in our house." "Get in!" "If I beg your forgiveness and promise to remember whatever you teach me .." ".. and do whatever you say, will you be happy then?" "Shall I order something to eat?" "Why don't you understand that I'm doing everything for your good?" "I know, but don't understand one thing:" "You spoil your time for my happiness; you pawned your things to buy me clothes." "You look after and educate so many children." "An ordinary man can't do this." "I want to know about you and understand you." "Stop thinking about me." "What will you get by opening a nameless book .." ".. that has no beginning and no end?" "It has only destroyed pages .." ".. that are lying scattered." " What's your real name?" "It can't be Brahmachari." "I've been asked this question for the first time today." "I myself don't know what my name is." "People have called me by this name for years." "But your parents must have given you some name in childhood." "Parents?" ".." "Whose parents?" "Many years back, the good man who I thought was my father .." ".. told me before dying that I was not his son." "He had picked me up from the streets and adopted me." "After he died, I found myself on the streets again." "Then?" " Then I found out that this world is so cruel." "But I didn't lose courage;" "I had the strength to stay alive." "Then I decided to save those who can't endure the world's cruelties." "They should be adopted and loved." "To brighten their futures, I sacrificed my present." "That's why I welcome any orphan or distressed person who comes to me." "I shower all my love on him, because nobody has ever given me any love." "But how can you think that nobody will love you?" "It's always dark beneath a lamp." "I'm like a boat without an anchor .." ".. that's floating aimlessly." "Who will sit on such a boat, which can't halt at any bank?" "Think about yourself." "Where are the children?" " They've gone out with Choti." "Billu and I didn't go because of our exams tomorrow." "Billu is crying inside." " Why?" " He says he won't go to school." "What happened?" " l won't go to school from tomorrow." " Why?" "A boy says that I am parentless - an orphan!" "I want to go to my parents right now!" "Where are they?" "Billu, you are a child of God." "God's children are much better than other children." "If I am God's child, why doesn't He come to meet me?" "God has to run this whole world and remains very busy." "And people keep asking Him for favors all the time." "That's why God has sent all of you to me to be looked after." "When you get educated and grow up, and follow God's way .." ".. then you'll surely meet Him one day." " Really?" " Yes." "Now will you go to school and study?" " Yes;" "I'll even give my exams." "Excellent!" "Good children are like this." "Go and study." "It's really difficult to answer such questions." "So I want good people to adopt them, so that they can get parents." "Yes, I'll go to work." "You go and study." "Go and sleep; you've to wake up early tomorrow." "Even you have an exam tomorrow." "Sister hasn't even spoken since morning." "What's the matter?" "Maybe she doesn't want to meet Mr. Ravi this evening, so she's silent." "You all bring her outside, then I'll cheer her up." "Sister, come out with us." " You all go, I'm not feeling well." "Please come, we'll cheer you up." " Come on!" "Children, now I present before you India's most beautiful girl!" "Please step forward!" "Children, clap!" "Sister, you're looking great!" "Let's dance now." "Are you sure Ravi Khanna will come?" " Yes, he will." "He'll sit there: that table is booked in his name." "I'm scared that he might not even look at me." "You're looking so beautiful that, seeing you, even a blind man will get his sight." "He's come!" "Tell me again what I should do and say." " Don't you remember?" "First he'll say: "l feel I've seen you before"." "Then he'll say: "You're looking very beautiful"." "He'll ask: "When can I meet you again?"" "Then he'll say: "l'll remember you always"." "Do you remember the answers?" "I'll be back in a moment." "I laud your taste - what a partner you've selected!" "From which garden did you bring this flower?" " She's still a bud." "That man will be really lucky, on whose neck she'll flower as a garland." "I'm like a gust of wind:" "I just danced with her and took her fragrance." "Will you mind if I too take a little of her fragrance?" " Why will I?" "Whoever extends his hand will get this gem." " Wow!" "What will you do about that thorn that you've brought with you?" "That thorn has started to sting." " Shall I remove it?" "You'll be doing me a great favor." " You've been kind to me." "What's her name?" " Anima Ghai" " Think that she's gone." "Send her far away." " Please take your seat." "Did you order anything?" " No. I was sitting and thinking about you." "That's why I'm infatuated by you." "An astrologer told me today .." ".. that I'll get married this year, and .." " Which of you is Anima Ghai?" "Can't you see?" "There was a call from your house." " What's the matter?" "Your father is not feeling well and you've been asked to come home." "But my father died long back." "Then it must have been your mother who fell from the terrace." "But we stay on the ground floor." " You must have misheard." "But some accident occurred in your house and you've been asked to come." "You go by cab;" "I'll come with a doctor." " All right." "Come, I'll introduce you." ".. This is Miss Sheetal Choudhury." "And he is Mr. Ravi Khanna." " l'm really glad to meet you." "He's a fascinating man." "You two sit and talk, I'll return after some time." "My item is about to start." "I feel I've seen you before." " No, I've never met you before." "But I've heard such things before." "I even knowthat now you'll say:" ""Miss Choudhury, you are really beautiful." Before that, I should say:" ""Yes, I know"." "I look at the mirror 50 times everyday." "You seem to be very angry today." "When can I meet you again?" "See Mr. .. - whatever your name is - l can't meet you again." "The truth is that I'm not happy to meet you even now." "If you want to bore me even after this, do so." "I never feel bad about what a beautiful girl like you says." "My name is Ravi Khanna, you can call me Ravi." "Whatever your name is, I don't want to know it." "So I'll never remember this name." " But I'll always remember you." "You're really uncivil!" " A beautiful girl like you shouldn't travel alone." "Thanks for your unasked counsel." "I was waiting for someone here." "He's a tyrant to keep someone like you waiting." "In his place, I would have been waiting for you." "Even if, waiting for you .." " You met death - isn't it?" "You wait for death, I'm going!" "Are you going home?" " Yes." "Do you want to ask anything else?" "Can I drop you home?" " l'll go in my own car." "I can't believe I'm meeting you for the first time." "A girl with this name .." "Can't there be any other man with your name?" " There can be." "Then?" "You're just running after me!" "What's this rascality?" "Didn't I tell you not to stand alone?" "Come, I'll drop you home." "Trust me." "How strange!" "Brother, I don't understand this act of yours." "You got yourself bashed up for a girl!" " She's a crazy girl." "I taught her to warm up to Mr. Ravi, but she just wouldn't let go." "So I had to do this drama to bring them together." "What a punch he gave!" "Even knowing what sort of a man Ravi is, you've tied this girl to him!" "Will a girl, who was ready to die for Mr. Ravi, ever listen to me?" "She'll gradually come to learn about his character." " How will she learn?" "If something happens in between?" " l'll followthem like a shadow." "I'll now go by the short cut and reach before her." "Why did you stop the car?" " l feel that I've seen you before." "What beauty God has given you!" "You're unknown, yet look so familiar!" "What's this insolence?" " My hand was insolent, not my heart." "You'll never find another heart which loves you so much." "Keep meeting me and you'll understand." " Take me home immediately." "Let's go!" "What happened?" " Sister, someone beat up Uncle." "But why?" " Children, go out;" "I want to talk to your sister." "How did you reach here?" " What happened to you?" "How was your meeting with Ravi?" "What you had expected:" "Ravi met, spoke to, and fell for me." "Even I saw and teased someone, then got bashed up." " How?" "I saw a girl who was so beautiful that I had to tease her." "Do you do such things?" " l did it for the first time, and got bashed up." "In front of Plaza." " A goon had troubled me there too." "But Ravi fixed him up!" " Were you that girl?" " Were you that goon?" "Why didn't you tell me before?" " Then you wouldn't have got so scared." "I did this drama to bring both of you closer to each other." "He thrashed you badly." " He turned me into a bad state." "But why did you have to do all this?" " Why are you concerned?" "I live for the happiness of others." "I want your life to be filled with it." "And don't forget: if you marry Ravi, I'll get rupees 20,000!" "But Ravi didn't turn out to be what I had thought him to be." "There's a letter for you." "Forgive me for giving it so late." "Who's letter is it?" " Mr. Razdan's ad. for me has worked." "Some Mr.  Mrs. Wagle are coming here tomorrowto adopt a child." "Children, come here. .." "Sit down, I want to tell you something." "You know how much I love you." " And even we love you so much!" "I know. I want all of you to grow up as educated and upright people." "But, due to my limitations, I can't fulfil many of your requirements." "So a gentleman will come here tomorrow to select and adopt one of you." "This way, each one of you will go to nice homes and get parental love." "Who can love us more than you?" " None of us wants to go from here." "You don't understand: fortune will smile on whoever of you is selected." "He will get lots of toys, lovely dresses and excellent food." "We don't want all that, we're happy in this condition." " Shut up!" "I've decided this after much thought." "Go and sleep." "Wear good clothes in the morning and get ready." "And don't argue in front of them." "Go and sleep!" ".." "Go!" "The children didn't like this." "They didn't even ask you to sing today." "I understand everything, but it's for their own good." "They'll live with parents." "I'm a poor man;" "I try hard .." ".. but can't give them what they should get." "Wherever they go, they'll be happier than they are here." "The way you'll be happy at Mr. Ravi's house." "Aren't you happy to hear it?" "I don't know!" "I was really missing you today, so I sat and read your letters." "I've read each one of them at least ten times!" "Didn't you tear this letter?" " l love it more than my life!" "And listen to all that you'd written:" ""Rupa, you left, angry with me." "The whole night witnesses my sorrow."" ""And my tears .."" " Did you call me here to read me this letter?" "Even hearing about love irritates you now!" ".." "Anyway .." "I can't wait for too long." "Take me to your mother." "If you feel scared, I'll speak to her myself." " About what?" "That we want to marry, and I'm about to become the mother of your child." "If Mother doesn't believe you?" " Why won't she?" "You're with me." " You know how scared I am of Mother." "Suppose l get scared to tell her anything?" " Then I'll show her these love letters." "Seeing them, she'll be convinced that you love me so much." "That won't be required. I'll myself and tell Mother everything today." "Yes?" " ls Mr. Brahmachari in?" " l am he." "We are Mr.  Mrs. Wagle." " Please come in;" "I was waiting for you." "Some tea?" " We've already had it." "Please call the children." "We've been married for 10 years." "God has given us everything, except a child." "Reading your ad., we thought of adopting a child." " That's great!" "With people like you, the lives of such children will get a meaning." "I've given my children a lot of love;" "I hope you'll do the same." "Don't worry;" "I'll bring him up as if he's my own child." "My children are very tidy, well behaved, and educated." "You'll find it hard to select one child because you'll like all of them." "Children!" "They've dirtied themselves;" "I'll clean them right now." "See what lovely children they are!" "You can select anyone of them." ".. Mrs. Wagle?" "This child is really lovable; we'll take him." "His name is Ujala (light)." "He'll bring light to your home and lives." "Go, child." " No, I won't go!" "You'll get your own room, servants, and cars for travelling." "I don't want all that, I'll stay right here!" "Come with us, Son." " l won't go!" "Sister, don't send me away;" "let me stay here!" "Uncle, he'll stay here. - Please let him stay." " Shut up!" "Take him, Mr. Wagle." " l won't go!" "With my meager income, I can't give you all the things you keep asking for." "They'll give you everything you ask for." "I don't want anything!" "I won't go!" "You won't go?" " No!" "You hit me!" "You're bad and dirty!" "I won't stay with you, nor see your face again!" "Come, Son." "We'll give you lovely toys." "You'll travel in our car." "Eat, Son." " l won't!" "Eat, Son." "See all the nice things I've prepared for you." "If you won't eat, how will we?" " l said I won't eat!" "If you won't eat, I'll go to work without eating." "What should I bring for you in the evening?" " l don't want anything!" "You go;" "I'll make him understand." " l don't want it!" "They're so silent!" ".." "Children!" ".. Won't anyone clap?" "No one's speaking to me!" ".. Shall I give you today's kiss?" "See what I've brought for you!" ".." "Chocolates!" " We don't want them!" "Then I'll give to Guddi!" " l don't want it!" "They're angry with you because you've sent Ujala away." "They're sad without Ujala." "They didn't even eat today." "How will I make you understand that I did everything for Ujala's good?" "Don't I love him?" "Am I happy with his absence?" "He was lucky." "He's gone to a good home. I wish all of you could go to such homes." "Where you'll get parental love." " Don't you and Sister love us?" "I'm feeling very hungry." "Let's have food together." "We won't eat." "You can eat if you're feeling hungry." "If you won't eat, I won't eat too." "Do you want me to remain hungry?" "Then go and sleep!" "Who's crying?" " Who isn't unaffected by this?" "Don't cry. I can't bear to see your tears." "I know all of you are very angry with me." "But come and sit with me. I'll tell you how happy Ujala is." "I'll tell you what Ujala is doing at this moment." "Ujala is sleeping peacefully on a big bed in a big room of a big house." "Let's go home!" "Ujala has come back!" "You ran away and returned here!" "Mr.  Mrs. Wagle will be worried!" "Don't do this drama;" "I saw everything last night." "You can never separate these children from yourself." "You're right, Sheetal;" "I can't live without these children." "There's trouble - the Wagles are here!" "I won't go!" " Nobody can take you." "Come with me." "Greetings, Mr. Wagle." " Didn't I say that he'd return here?" "Thank God we've found him;" "I was so scared!" "Ujala ran away from your house;" "I don't know what to do." "He doesn't want to return;" "I'm so ashamed." "He doesn't even understand what's good for him." "A child understands only love." "He gets more of it from you than us." "I'm a woman, yet I couldn't give him the love you do." "Even being parentless, these children can't be called orphans." "Because they don't live in an orphanage, but in your heart." "Ujala, embrace me just once, so that I can live with this happiness .." ".. that I too became a mother, even if it was for just one day." "Go to her." "May God always keep you happy." " Come, Uma." "Goodbye, Mr. Brahmachari." "Children, remain happy." "Will you take us for a picnic?" " l don't have a single pie with me." "Our neighbor has come!" "Why did you stop?" "Sing, dance and make a racket!" "You look very happy today." " Why not?" "My money has been saved." "You can't rob me now." "Go on shouting and screaming!" "My tenants won't flee now." "Both husband and wife are deaf and dumb." "They can't hear your racket." "How's it?" "is this honesty?" " You all keep lamenting now while I dance!" "He spoiled your mood." " Not just mine, but everyone's, including yours." "We've lost rupees 200." "is today's picnic cancelled?" " Why?" "We can still go roaming." "Go and get ready quickly." "Where's Badal?" " He must be bathing;" "I'll get him right now." "You rogue!" "You've been cheating us all these days!" "Why aren't you bathing?" "Where are you going so stylishly?" "With Ravi, who you've started to hate?" "But I have no other option." "Brahmachari has done so much for me." "Shouldn't I save his mortgaged house?" "Will you sacrifice your lifelong happiness for rupees 20,000?" "Haven't you started loving Brahmachari?" " God, what should I do?" "An astrologer told me today that I'll get married this year." "The girl's name will start with S. How did he knowthat I love you?" "Sir, there's a call for you." " lt's a trouble being rich:" "You're always being chased." ".. I'll come right now." "You don't know us, but we've come to alert you on humane grounds." "Be careful of this man." " Ravi cheated us with false promises." "It's your turn now." " He'll ruin your life." "Don't worry." "Ravi can't harm me, I don't love either him or his money." "You all have ruined your own lives because you loved his money." "Then why do you roam around with him?" " Because I want to avenge something." "I'll teach him such a lesson that he'll never speak to any girl again!" "Let's go!" "For shares worth 50,000 .." "Your mood seems changed." "I was thinking of making someone dance." "Sheetal." " Yes?" "Close your eyes;" "I've brought a gift for you." " What is it?" "Close your eyes first." "This is a ring." " Yes, our engagement ring." "I can't wait anymore; say when you'll marry me." " Are you dreaming?" "How could you think that I'll marry you?" " What do you mean?" "Remember?" "Once I had pleaded with you for marriage, but you scorned me." "It was in this house, this room, and this place!" "Are you that Sheetal Choudhury?" "And I couldn't recognize you!" "But I've recognized you well." " l'm sorry for my behavior that day." "But I won't marry you!" " Our fathers .." " They're both dead!" "So is the relationship they had fixed." "Princesses like me marry ordinary men like you only in stories." "Don't break my heart this way. I'll be a perfect husband." "You're more lowly than my dog King!" " Don't humiliate me this way." "My revenge is done. I was waiting for this day .." ".. to tell you how much I hate you. I won't even think of you from today." "And I knowthat you'll never be able to forget me from today." "How was the fun?" "I'd promised to teach him a lesson he'll never forget for life." "An astrologer told us today that this year .." " We'll thrash a man." "Whose name starts with R." " How did the astrologer knowthat his name is Ravi?" "What's this rascality?" "Get out from here!" "What happened?" " A snake has bitten him!" "Billu, wake up." "See what's happened to Sister!" " She's become unconscious!" "The fever hasn't come down from 106 till now." "While she was sucking the poison from the boy's leg .." ".. some of it went inside her body and reached her heart." "Should we call a specialist?" " Nobody can do anything now." "Had the fever reduced, there'd have been some hope for her survival." "We can only rely on God now." " Doctor, please try again!" "Uncle always tells me that I am your son." "But I never asked you for anything till now." "Even the doctor can't do anything now. lf anything happens to Sister .." ".. then I'll never come near or speak to you again!" "Take my life if you want, but cure my sister!" "Billu!" " She has recovered!" "Billu, Sister has recovered!" " You've recovered, Sister!" "Sister has recovered; she's saved!" "Sheetal, I didn't know you loved my children so much." "I love these children as much as you do." "But you've suffered a loss because of me." " Loss?" "Mr. Ravi had proposed marriage to me today, but I refused." "I won't be able to give you rupees 20,000 now." "Saving my child's life, you've given me everything." "Had something happened to you, I couldn't have taken it." "Really?" " l mean .." "Why did you refuse to marry Mr. Ravi?" "If you want to know, look into my eyes." "I love a man who's not human, but an angel." " Don't be childish." "I'm myself without any support;" "what support can I give others?" "I don't want support, but love. I'm hungry for it." "Look into my eyes and tell me: don't you love me?" "I'm not fit for you. I have no future." "I live only for the moment;" "nothing will change for me." "One day, I'll get lost in life's darkness .. unknown, nameless." "If we walk together on the paths of darkness .." ".. the way will get illuminated automatically." "I'll have to ask my children first." ".. Children .. !" "Will you have any objection if I marry her?" " l'll marry her today!" "Will anyone mind if both of us marry her?" " l will!" " Why?" "Why do you tell me to bathe every morning?" " Okay, I won't tell you from today." "Choti, start cleaning him from tomorrow." ".. All right?" "Agreed?" "Murli, what are you doing here?" " Chanchal is getting married." "With whom?" " A married man who has children!" "Where's his wife?" " That's the problem : she lives far away." "Brother, I beg you: please help me!" " Come on!" "Stop!" ".." "inhabitants of Bombay, this marriage can't be held!" "This man is already married!" "His wife is from my village Dholakpur." "I'm the headman of Dholakpur!" " What?" "It's a lie!" "I don't even know where Dholakpur is!" "Why did you leave me, my husband?" "What's my offense?" "Did I lack in anything, that you're getting married again?" "Be patient, good girl; everything will be all right." " What's going on?" "Kirtandasji, I don't know anyone of them." "How can she be my wife when I'm not even married?" "Father, if you aren't married, then how did my sisters and I come to be?" "Father, please don't marry again!" "What's this spectacle?" " l'll tell!" ".." "Ladies and Gentlemen .." ".. I gave birth to girls every year, while he wanted boys." "Was it my fault?" "Tell me what I should do now!" "After fathering 5 daughters, he's getting married again!" "Kirtandas, you're tying your daughter to a cheat!" "My God!" "So much torture on a helpless girl!" "You want to marry a second time in these times!" "I'll cancel it right now!" "Listen to me!" " Shut up!" "What will you say?" "Trying to cheat me!" "Press your accelerator and get lost from here .." ".. or I'll overtake you and make you meet with an accident!" "Go, scoundrel!" "Sir, you've saved my honor; that rascal would have cheated my daughter!" "Repay his debt later; arrange another bridegroom first." "Time is flying. lf your daughter doesn't get married within 10 minutes .." ".. she'll remain unmarried for life!" " But how will I bring another boy so soon?" "Then listen to my prediction: after 10 minutes, Mars will enter Saturn's house." "This will result in the girl's father turning blind for life." "The girl will remain unmarried, and her father will turn blind!" "It's the truth." " No!" " Sir, please help me!" "3 minutes have passed;" "Mars is entering Saturn's house!" "In the name of God!" " Who?" ".." "Murli?" "Yes." "But I've become a hermit now." "You didn't let your daughter marry me, so I'm going to the Himalayas." "Before leaving, I wanted to see Chanchal for the last time." "5 more minutes have passed!" " You don't have to go to the Himalayas now." "Marry my daughter and save me from going blind!" " What are you saying?" "I'm a hermit now, how can I marry and become a family man?" "I won't let you become a hermit." " But how can I become a family man?" "You're late in making your offer." "I've donated whatever I had." "And money is required to run a family." " So you should give him wealth!" "What do you want?" " Give me a brand newtaxi." "Taxi?" " Saturn is entering Mars' house!" " l'll give you your taxi." "I'm a witness to this!" " And I am the second witness!" "Only my father-in-law will put the turban on me!" "Don't worry." "When I promise to help someone, I can do anything." "Bring her from Brahmachari's house;" "I won't let my mother learn anything." "You're a demigod - even after knowing everything, you're ready to accept Sheetal!" "It's humane to forgive someone's mistake." "If people don't forgive each other, how will this world survive?" "The souls of my late father and uncle will get peace .." ".. only when the relationship they fixed is confirmed .." "Uncle, come for a moment." "Here's Rs. 10,000/-." "Sheetal should reach here today .." "Listen:" "When I'm happy with someone, I become very kind." "But if I get angry, I turn into a devil." "So there should be no blunder." "No, I won't go!" "You can consider me dead!" "He has given me a new life;" "I'll marry him and live in happiness." "I want my own happiness, not that of society!" "If you won't agree, I'll drown myself!" "It's better to die than listen to people's jibes." "Don't threat me this way and lessen a mother's greatness." "This is a test of your love too: there's your daughter's happiness on one side .." ".. and society on the other." "Being a good mother, which will you opt for?" "It's useless to argue with her - she won't respond to straight methods." "It's our job to decide about your good, not yours .." "Come!" "You can't use force!" " l certainly can!" "I'm her uncle." "She's still under age and in my responsibility." "If you try to interfere, I'll call the police!" ".. Come!" " l won't go!" "You won't go?" " Beware if you hit her!" "Sheetal, go with them - they're angry now." "When they cool down tomorrow, they might listen to us." "I won't go with them!" "They'll throw me alive into hell!" "Mother, I beg you: don't do anything that will defame a mother." "What do you know about a mother?" "You've never seen yours!" "But I've seen how a mother can sacrifice her child to society!" " Shameless girl!" "If you hit her again, I'll break all your bones!" "Understand?" "Your dirty blood - not you - is saying this!" "Sheetal - for God's sake - go with them!" "Or I'll shed their blood and prove to their society .." ".. that my blood is much better than their's!" "Come!" " l don't want to go!" "Your tears can't change my decision." "Here's Rs. 10,000/-!" "Go somewhere and escape from this trouble; but don't bore me!" "What did you say?" " l don't want to keep any relationship with you." "I don't have any time for cheap girls like you!" "Have you gone crazy?" "Do you want to leave me in this condition and run away?" "When people learn about it, they will .." " l'm not concerned about it!" "Isn't Rs. 10,000/- enough price for a girl like you?" "I'll see how you can escape from me!" " What can you do to me?" "Your mother will decide about it. I'll go to her today with your letters .." ".. and claim my right from her." " What letters?" "I've never written any letter to any girl." " Really?" "I'll show you!" "Can you prove them wrong?" "Where are my letters?" "You must have taken them, you scoundrel!" "Those letters were proof of my stupidity, so I burnt them." "I play such love games with thousands of girls." "Should I marry all of them?" "You played with my life;" "I won't let you go!" "Your good lies in taking this money and getting out of my life." "And never try to meet me again;" "I'm a very dangerous man!" "I fall at your feet - don't leave me!" "Can't you see where you go?" "I should burn my letters to Rupa;" "it's not safe to carry dynamite." "My purse?" "Today was really unlucky for me." "I picked a very rich man's pocket, but see what I got - love letters!" ""Rup, compared to you, nothing else seems beautiful."" ""Like the Taj Mahal, in moonlight .."" " Seems he's some great lover." "He was carrying these letters;" "they must be important to him." "If they are important, he'll give money for them." "I want to meet Sheetal." " Beware if you even take her name!" "Mother, open the door!" "I beg you, let me meet him once!" "Open the door!" "So you've locked Sheetal inside?" "I won't allowthis!" " Stop!" "Acting tough in another's house?" "Get out, or we'll call the police!" "Brahmachari's house should be confiscated tomorrow." "It's the rainy season now, I am thinking of the children." "Think only of your money;" "I'm ready to pay double the amount." "Think about it." "Sir, please give me some more time." "I've already given you enough laxity;" "I won't listen to anything now." "It's clearly written in the mortgage papers, that if you can't pay on time .." ".. I'll get full rights to seize your house." "Have mercy on my innocent children at least." "Mercy?" "On whom?" "Illicit children?" "Children are never illicit!" "Their parents are, who make them suffer!" "Are the children to blame for this?" " Then am I to blame?" "Children are God's gifts." " Then return them to God!" ".." "Go; don't bother me!" "Before I go, I want your promise that my house won't be auctioned." "It will be auctioned!" " lt won't!" " Help!" "Throw him out - he's threatening me!" "Where will I go with these children in this heavy rain?" "Give me a little more time." " You couldn't do anything for so many years." "What will you do in a couple of days?" "Get lost!" "My hat!" " My scooter!" " My doll!" "Return the toys to the children!" " Nobody will get anything!" "The court has given everything to me!" "Everything in this house is mine!" "Be grateful that I spared your clothes!" "I beg you - please give me just a day's time." "I'll take my children and go somewhere tomorrow." "Are you going to win the races or a lottery tomorrow?" "Maybe someone will come to help him." " Mr. Ravi, are you his friend?" "His enemy." "A rational enemy is much better than an irrational friend." "Brahmachari, I'm ready to give you Rs.20,000/- .." ".. even when I knowthat you can't repay me in your entire life." "You can give me one thing in return." " What?" " My love!" "Your love?" " Yes .." "Sheetal. I love her!" "Return Sheetal to me, and I'll return this house to you." "This is my condition." " How did you dare to say this?" "Sheetal is the first and last girl who I have loved; will I auction her?" "Your true nature has come out today." "You're an extremely selfish man." "You don't love these children; you can sacrifice their lives and futures .." ".. but can't leave Sheetal." "You love your happiness more than your principles." "You don't have to teach me about my principles or happiness." " Why?" "is the truth bitter?" "You can break these children's hearts to save yours." "I had thought that you live only for these children." "But now I knowthat you live only for yourself!" "If they are driven out from here now, where will they find shelter?" "I have arranged that." "I'll send these children to three different govt. orphanages." "Uncle, will you send us away?" " We'll stay with you." " We won't go!" "Children, you'll have to go now;" "Brahmachari has found a wife." "He'll have his own children; you've become a burden for him now." "Uncle, is this true?" "We won't become a burden;" "don't sacrifice Sister for us." "We're God's children, we'll return to Him." " Don't say that!" "You're ready to die for me, and I'm still thinking about my love!" "I've gone crazy!" "Why didn't I die before thinking such things?" "You'll stay with me throughout my life!" "Mr. Ravi, I accept your condition;" "I'll do whatever you say." "Remember: you'll have to remove your memory from Sheetal's heart!" "It will be done!" " Come with me and take your money." " Okay." "I'm sorry for what's happened. I'm getting my money; you can stay." "Come to work from tomorrow." "Where are you going at this hour?" " Why should you ask?" "If you want to go to Brahmachari, I'll drop you in my car." "Will you take me to Brahmachari?" " Why not?" "I understand and respect others' feelings." "You misunderstood me." "Anyway .." "Come!" "You'll have to tell me today when you'll marry me. - l'll do it, darling!" "What's the hurry?" "For the moment, let our affair go on like this." "And what's your problem?" "I meet you daily and always give you money." "Why don't you understand?" "I'm about to become your child's mother." "So we shouldn't delay our marriage." "When will you marry me?" "Very soon!" " Do you now see his real nature?" "He loves not just children, but even their mothers!" " Why are you here?" "I considered you to be like God, but you are so abominable!" "If you wanted to break my heart today, why did you save me that day?" "Why did you give me a new life?" "Answer me!" "Some things remain unspoken." "You should have understood that I don't love you!" "Then why did you pretend to love me?" "I was such a fool .." ".. to consider glass as diamond, a gutter as the Ganges!" " Let's go!" "It's good you've learnt his real nature so soon." "I feel sick to even stand near such a wretch!" ".." "Let's go!" "You've wronged her greatly;" "the poor girl left, crying." "She can cry, but I can't do even that." "When pain transcends its limits, the heart weeps, not the eyes." "I understand your sorrow." "You've made a great sacrifice for your children." "Even parents wouldn't do so much." " Thank you for your help." "Why are you standing here?" " There's some time left for my item." "Remember?" "You had introduced her to me once." " Yes." "That's why I want to give you the good news first:" "We're getting married tomorrow!" "What's the matter?" "Won't you congratulate us?" "I congratulate both of you." "Sing such a song today that our happiness becomes immortal." "I sing only love songs." "Hearing them, one may become either happy or sad." "My heart is leaping with happiness today." "No song can make me feel sad today." "Only one with a sorrowful heart will feel sad by hearing your song." "Come, Ravi." "We'll listen to his song and double our happiness today!" "Brahmachari, it's time for your item now." "If we walk together in the darkness, the way will brighten automatically." "Uncle, won't Sister ever come again?" "No, she won't ever come again." "Brother, get up and have your food." "I'm not feeling hungry." " You haven't eaten anything since yesterday." "Wait!" " lt's this woman's child." " Who are you?" "Rupa?" "You .." "This child .." " lf possible, keep him with love." "I have no option but to die!" " Who hurled you into this predicament?" "This is a symbol of my love, not sin; but I can't take him as my own." "Because I don't have any proof of my marriage." " Did you get married?" "Yes .. quietly .. in a temple." " With whom?" "With the man in whose party you had danced with me." "Ravi Khanna?" " Yes." " Then he can't get married today!" "Don't you have any proof?" " l had his letters, which he stole and burnt." "One moment .." "Was it written in any of those letters:" "" Besides you, nothing seems beautiful;" "like the Taj Mahal .."" " Yes!" "How did you know?" " Those letters weren't burnt." "They're with my pickpocket friend Basant." "But he'll ask money for them." "Let's go and take care of Basant." "You come with us too." "Uncle is so sad without Sister;" "we should do something." "Shall we go and bash up Mr. Ravi?" " No; then he'll never return Sister." "Then what should we do?" " We'll go and plead with Mr. Ravi." "He might feel sorry and return Sister to us." " Let's go then!" "I want to speak to Mr. Ravi immediately." " l'm Ravi." "Who are you?" "My name is Basant." "A few days back, I had picked your pocket." "Instead of money, I had found some letters to Rupa in your purse." "Now you'll be getting married to some other girl." "If you permit, I'll give the letters to Rupa." "With their aid, she can stop your marriage." " What?" "Are those letters with you?" "How much do you want?" "1 ,000 rupees for all the ten letters." "All right." "My man will come with 1 ,000 rupees." "Where will you meet him?" "Room no. 5, Dharmanand's Chawl, Chajh Mohalla, Bhindi Bazar." "My man will reach there within one hour." "You?" " Those letters you had stolen .." " They can save someone's life." "They are most valuable." " l knowthat." "I'll be getting 100 rupees for each." " This is no time to be greedy." "It's a matter of someone's life." " Give them." " All right." "If you really need them, I'll give them to you for 200 rupees less." "Bring out the money." " We don't have any money." "Then should I give them to you for free?" "He won't agree this way!" "Bloody scoundrel!" "Who's Basant?" " l am Basant." "Mr. Ravi has sent me." "Give me those letters and take your money." "I've sent the letters to Mr. Ravi; give me the money." " Trying to fool me?" "I'll cut you apart!" "Give me those letters!" "Brahmachari seized them from me." ".. Everyone's in a hurry!" "What are you saying?" " l'm speaking the truth, Sir." "Basant told me that Brahmachari has seized those letters from him." "Mr. Ravi, we've come to take our sister." " Please return her to us." "We're sad without her." " You're such a nice man." " Please return our sister." "So you've come to take your sister." " Yes." "All right, if it will make you happy." "I don't want to sadden children." "Bachchan Singh, take these children to their sister." "Do you understand?" " Yes." " Come on, children!" "We'll go to our sister!" "Thank you, Mr. Ravi!" " Let Brahmachari come now!" "Mr. Ravi, do you recognize her?" "Come, Brahmachari, I was waiting for you." "Sit down, Rupa." " What's your trouble now?" "This marriage can't be held!" " l gave you so much money to shut your mouth .." ".. but you .. - l've come here regarding Rupa, not Sheetal." "I've sold my love, but not the right to fight for the opressed." "Suppose l don't give you this right?" " Then I'll meet your mother." "She'll acknowledge this child as yours, because I have the proof with me." "Before showing the letters to my mother, speak to your children on the phone .." ".. who are in my custody right now." " My children .. in your custody?" "I knewthat, taking the letters from Basant, you'll come here." "So I got the children abducted." "Bachchan Singh, have all the children reached there?" "Call a child to the phone." " Your uncle's phone." "Here, Brahmachari - talk!" "Uncle, these people have abducted us!" "They hit us!" "They don't even give us water." "Please save us!" "Chandni .. where are you all?" "Do you believe now?" " lf any child gets hurt, I'll burn you alive!" "Return my letters by 10 seconds, or the children will be burnt alive!" "Return his letters." "For my child's sake, I can't put your children in danger." "Leave me as I am." " Thrash the children!" " No!" "Take your letters." " You've learnt your lesson." "Bring the children here in the truck." " Right away!" "You'll get your children. I don't want to sadden anyone on my wedding day." "Get out from here!" "Who are you, and who's this girl?" " lt's nothing, Mother." "I'll tell you!" "Out of my way!" "Read these letters, you'll learn everything." "These love letters will prove how your son had loved Rupa." "He married her in a temple." "They'll also prove that this child is his." "Leaving Rupa in this condition, your son wants to marry again now!" "These are all lies!" "They are just defaming me!" " You shameless wretch!" "You deceived this girl; now you're even lying to me!" "I recognize your letter." "I accept you as my daughter-in-law." "I'll see how he won't accept you." "Sir, the children are here." " They've come?" "Ravi, stop!" "Move your vehicle, a train is coming!" " l can't start it." " Hurry up!" "Come and push it!" "Kill him!" "It's better to be childless than to give birth to such a monster!" "Have pity on this child!" "Leave him!" "But for this child, I would have killed him today!" "Brahmachari, I'm really ashamed for whatever happened." "Sheetal, I should ask your forgiveness too." "Your seeing that girl with Brahmachari that day was a sham." "You are the only girl in Brahmachari's life." "What are you doing?" " You're married now .." ".. so you're no longer a "brahmachari" (celibate)." " Leave it!"
