" Yes, you I haven't even read the story, sir." " So go ahead and read it." "Hurry" "That's okay, but why are you crying?" " l'm not crying, Karan" "The Pinky from your childhood has been found!"

"Come home immediately, son" " Why?" "What's up?" "Something very strange has happened." "Come home" "What happened, Karan?" " l don't know I've got to go home immediately" "Mom, what's happening here?" "My son, the bridal henna hadn't even darkened on your sister's hands" "And our joys have been struck by lightning" "Daddy, what's mother saying?" " lt's true, my son" "Mr Sharma called a little while ago, he has turned down the marriage" "To how many people will we explain... why the groom's folks refused to go ahead with the marriage... just a day before the wedding?" "But why did he do this, daddy?" " That's what I wanted to know... but he disconnected the telephone" "All your father has earned in his lifetime is respect, my son" "And I'm losing even that today" "Mr Sharma... you take a marriage for a joke?" "Because you're the groom's father doesn't mean... you can play with our honour." "We are a respectable family too" "And you have no right to toy with my sister's life... lf you want to have your sister married... you'll have to forget Puja." "You've got to decide this right now" "Do you value your love more..." "than your sister?" "I want to meet you right now, Puja" "Me...?" "What for?" "Today I want to tell you how I feel" "How he feels...?" "I'm at the Marriot Hotel" "You can come over and meet me at the poolside" "This is the day I've always waited for" ""l've found the love of my life..."" ""Allah, Allah...""

""l can't take these distances anymore"" ""My beloved is so very innocent..."" ""Allah, Allah, Allah"" ""l've found the love of my life..."" ""Allah, Allah..."" ""My heart now finds peace..."" ""Allah, Allah"" "I can't take it anymore, Karan I know what surprise you want to give me" "Ever since I saw you at the party... I've fallen in love with you" " At the party?" "Yes, Puja." "Your love has driven me crazy l feel as if I just can't live without you" "But..." "Seema told me that you live only for Pinky, your childhood love I was a kid then." "As a kid, I made friends with Pinky... we played together and forgot all about it I was never in love with Pinky." "I met her as a child... maybe she belongs to someone else now." "And I'm not crazy, am I...?" "to fall in love with her without even seeing her?" "She could be fat and ugly for all I know" "Which means you love a girl only for her beauty... not for her heart" "Absolutely!" "It's beauty you fall in love with, because you see it" "You can't look in someone's heart whether it's good or bad, can you?" "You're right." "You can't look in anyone's heart... to know how evil it is" "But why've you started crying, Puja?" "Not Puja. I'm Pinky" "Yes, the one you think is Puja is actually Pinky I wish I had seen through you as a kid... the one I love is not worthy of even my hatred" "What a mess!" "If I knew you're Pinky, I wouldn't have proposed at all" "But that's all right." "You're the one I love, after all" "Which is why I never separated the token of your love from me" "No!" "The truth about you has now been exposed to me" "You just can't fall in love with someone!" "You have no right to keep someone's token of love!" "What stuff are you made of...?" "For my sake, you won't tell anyone about this" "Thank God, we have escaped getting a bad name" "My son!" "This is a miracle." "I don't know who did it" "Mr Sharma telephoned and apologised profusely" "Our honour has been restored." " Go and meet Priya, son" "She just can't believe it." "Hurry up and go to her" "Brother!" "I'll be back, brother" ""Not to be offended..." "it's the festival of colours!"" "Puja, we've decided to make a telefilm on your love-story" "So quickly write the climax for it I'm sorry, Seema." "I can't write the climax" "Get someone else to write it." " What...?" "But why?" "Seema, had I known what climax my love-story would have... I wouldn't have started writing my love-story at all I don't understand" "Suffice it to say that my love-story has ended before its climax" "Here's everything for the ceremony, priest" "Sweets and fruits..." "is there anything else you want?" "No, nothing more." " Do let me know if you need something" "Veer, where's Karan?" "He's gone out" "Veerji, you've been Karan's childhood friend" "He hides nothing from you" "Karan and Puja have loved each other from their childhood" "And now, there's this problem?" "Karan has bound me in an oath." "But I want to see him happy lt's Puja's father who has created all the problems" "What do you mean?" "The guy Karan's sister is marrying... was educated and brought up, thanks to Puja's after" "His father works for Puja's father" "This is what Puja's father took advantage of" "And Karan made the sacrifice... he sacrificed his love for his sister" "This is the truth, Puja I'm proud of my love." "That Karan is such a great guy..." "Seema, I want to go to Karan right now" "What do you think my child?" "I placed a special order with Tiffani and Company for this necklace" "Let's go, Seema" "Puja, where are you going?" " To Karan. I'm walking out" "You played dirty with me and tried to snatch my love from me" "But now I'm going to my love for good" "Are you out of your mind?" "You're leaving me and these luxuries for that low-level life?" "You got this swanky bungalow built on the city's prime property" "Maybe it measures up to your level, not mine" "These Mercedes and Porsche cars must belong to your level too" "Not mine." "This daughter of yours is giving up things of your level... and going to her love" "The vows are over." "You are now man and wife in joys and sorrow" "You shouldn't have come here, Puja." " l've got to know the truth, Karan" "My daddy played very dirty tricks to separate us" "He put pressure on Uncle Sharma and had Priya's marriage annulled" "For your sister's happiness, you sacrificed the love of our childhood... for which you and I have always waited" "Why did you do that, brother?" "I could've married anyone else" "But you wouldn't have found your love again" "Karan, my son..." "you made such a great sacrifice?" "My son, what debt have you repaid me for?" "What are you talking about, daddy?" "Not even in seven lifetimes... can children repay their parents' debt I didn't do anyone a favour..." "I merely did my duty" "But your sense of duty has enslaved me to you for a thousand lifetimes" "Not even my own son would have made such a huge sacrifice" "You're forgetting something, daddy." "You made me promise... that I would never say such a thing." "So what makes you say it today?" "I'm sorry, my son." "It slipped out of my tongue" "Bastard!" "You think you will succeed in your designs?" "Sir, I've done nothing." " You have betrayed me!" "You are the one who has betrayed us, daddy" "What do you want to achieve by all this?" "is this your way of giving your daughter happiness?" "No, you're instead snatching her happiness from her!" "Puja, come with me" "Let me go!" "Let go of me!" "After the vows, the bride goes to her husband's house." "Not her father's!" "What rubbish are you talking...?" "What vows?" "Which vows?" "The vows you are about to witness" "Priest, solemnise the wedding" "Karan, my son!"
