" He personally gave me the offer" "Khanna did?" " Yes I see." "And why not?" "He has more money than I have" "He's young too." "What will you get from a sad, old man like me?" "But he's not as young as he appears to be" "He wears a wig!" " Who told you I'm going away?" "You just told me that you're getting a better job I am." "But I'm not going away." " So what is this?" "My resignation was just a joke." "You signed that too?" "I'll never leave you. I won't go anywhere" "Not even to Parks and Favor?" " No lt's okay then." " May I go?" "Khanna, you ass!" "Sonofagun!" "You're trying to snatch my girl!" "Damn you!" "Can't you see where you're going?" "I'm looking, indeed" ""The world has..."" "She has gone" "Bloody Khanna!" "You're bribing me." " Darling... I give only love." "And I take nothing but love" "It's me" "You're smelling great" "And you said the other day, that I was jumping about" "Don't you lose your way" "Looks like you've just met a girl" "How could I be so fortunate?" "I have just one woman in my life." "And she is my good fortune" "There was this guy selling perfumes at the office today." "Smuggled stuff" "He sprayed some perfume on me and I liked it" "And I brought this for you." " For me?" "Of course." "Everything belongs to you" "The perfume is yours." "So am I" "Sir, I've brought your car." " l said I'd collect it myself" "My boss wants the money." "Here's the bill" "So much?" " l don't know about all that" "Call him up and ask him" "I found this in your car" "Must be your wife's." " Yes what is it?" " Nothing, he has brought the car" "Go on" "You forgot it in the car." " And I thought I had lost it" "How can you ever lose what is with me?" "what's wrong?" "You look sad today." " Nothing won't you tell me?" " My grandpa's very ill" "The doctor says he needs an operation" "So what's there to be sad about?" "I'm with you." "we'll have him operated" "How much will it cost?" "The doctor says it's about 5333 Rupees" "So all right." "Whatever I have, is yours" "Prepare for the operation any time you want to" "Dad's jumped the gun again." " Jumped the gun?" "Yes." "Remember the Sunday picnic?" " Daddy doesn't have the time, son" "He must've gone to meet the G.M. - lt's always someone or the other" "Mummy!" "Daddy's bathroom is so filthy!" "Let it be" "There's a lot of straws in the flush lt's a sin to break a bird's nest" "There's no bird here" "There must be eggs then" "You'll fall!" "Get down!" " l won't fall." "Pick me up!" "Mummy, this is daddy's library" "Set me down now" "May I go and play?" " Go on" ""Nirmala, Picnic Apartments, Versova"" "is the boss there?" " He's not in who are you?" "I'm the maidservant speaking I see." "How's the lady keeping?" "who are you?" "when the boss returns, tell him that Nirmala had called" "Know what the G.M. told me today?" "He's going to make me his deputy in a few days" "And you will be Mrs Deputy General Manager!" "Happy?" "won't I be happy at your progress?" "That's something!" " Shall I serve the food?" "No food. I've got to meet a party." "They're here only for today lt's late. I ought to be running along" "You're always letting me down." "You've ruined my Sunday, haven't you?" "There was so much work at the office today, it gave me a headache" "Go and get me a glass of water. I want to take an aspirin" "You mustn't work so hard." "Take care of yourself" "You get so tired." " l'll do everything for the family" "True, Ranjit." "You're doing so much for the family" "Darling, I do it, because I get your love with so much of love from you, I could reach out for the Moon" "The Moon's okay." "Don't reach for the skies itself what?" "You mustn't work so hard. I don't like it" "You have a double-burden." " Double-burden?" "Oh yes." "Your work and the overtime" "Not tonight." " Why not?" "You're very tired tonight." "As if I'm too tired to make love" "No, you must relax I'm always here for you." " So why're you refusing me now?" "Must I think only about myself?" "Mustn't I worry about my husband's health?" "is that done?" "Go to sleep." "Please" "You're Nirmala?" " And who could you be?" "Do you know him?" " Ranjit?" "Are you in love with him?" " Who are you?" "I'm a press photographer I've seen you with this man several times" "So I took a photograph" "And what did you think?" "That I'm a blackmailer?" "Even if you were a blackmailer, what harm could you do to me?" "I don't hide my love" "Yes, I love this man. I love him very much" "But he looks a bit aged." "Maybe he's married I know that." "But it doesn't make a difference... whether Ranjit is married or not." " What does that mean?" "I mean, that man is going to seed because of his ailing wife I'm giving that man some love and a new life" "So what's wrong with that?" "why mustn't I give him some pleasure and relief?" "It's not a sin to give someone your love, so he can start a new life" "Must I let Ranjit die with his ailing wife?" "what are you talking about?" " l don't wish his wife any ill" "But nothing can be said about her life or death either" "She could die tomorrow." "Or maybe after a few months" "Poor Ranjit is half-dead, doing the rounds of all those doctors" "But who can change the writ of destiny?" "Even the astrologers have predicted his wife's death" "She has only a few months to live lf he seeks my hand in this state, what is my duty?" "who told you that his wife is so ill?" "Ranjit himself told me." " Ranjit did?" "Yes." "He tells me everything" "About his joys and sorrows" "You trust his word so much?" " Why not?" "Have you met his wife?" "No would you like to meet her?" " Certainly" "So meet her." " Where?" "Do you know her?" "I'm Ranjit's wife" "Hey darling!" "Great news!" "Promotion!" "I'm now the deputy general manager!" "Isn't that good news?" "I'll give you the other good news." " Sure, go ahead" "The doctors have given up" "The astrologers have said that I'm going to die in a few months why don't you speak?" "why are your lips sealed?" "This is your overtime?" "This is our happiness and love?" "It's..." "To hell with love that ruins a family" "You want me to die!" " No, listen to me, Shanno..." "Don't call me Shanno!" "And have a nice time with your Nimmo!" "wait for my death so you can finalise a wedding date!" "How can you say such things?" "At least hear me out first what will I listen to?" "Isn't this proof enough?" "Now this..." " What defense are you giving?" "I'm the living proof." " You?" "what have you come here for?" "I'm here to see your ailing wife." "won't you introduce me to her?" "won't you tell me about... the prediction of the astrologers, Ranjit?" "weren't you ashamed to betray me?" " Weren't you ashamed to ruin my home?" "weren't you ashamed to break my heart?" "weren't you ashamed to betray my love?" "Now look... the two of you are making a mistake" "Now say you're not Ranjit." " And I'm not Nirmala" "And I'm not Sharda either!" " lt's like this" "You are Sharda, no doubt." "And you're Nirmala too I'm the bloody idiot out here!" "I'm an ass!" "A bloody dog!" "Forgive me!" "Please!" "The two of you must please forgive me!" "I can't understand how you could fall for a man double your age" "Men my age, have love alone." "They don't have any money" "I'm a middle-class girl." "when I look at the affluent... I feel like possessing everything too" "All the small comforts and joys" "Love alone doesn't feed your stomach" "For that, you gave away all you had?" "If I could help it, I wouldn't even work for a living" "But you can't understand what state our families are in" "Our needs push us to something." "And our hearts, to something else when our needs are met, we turn helpless" "Had I known the truth... all this would never have happened I can only apologise to you" "May you have a happy family" "Ranjit has betrayed me." "But I haven't betrayed him" "This was my first experience at love" "An experience of true love." "And I've lost everything" "The truth is that you've lost a lover, and I've lost my husband" "And what did Ranjit gain?" "Come with me." " What happened?" "There's a big mess." "Come with me and make my wife see reason" "But what's all this about?" "Nirmala..." " The secretary?" "I don't know what she has gone and told my wife I'm afraid Sharda might do something rash" "Nirmala's bent on ruining my family" "So it's as serious as that?" "You ought to have told me." "I'd have destroyed Nirmala" "Anyway, let me go and take a look" "A friend in need is a friend indeed." "I'd happily take the blow for you" "That isn't yours." " You want my help?" "Yes." " So it's my couplet." "Hundred per cent!" "whose is it then?" "Yours" " Let's go" "He won't agree" "So you've brought a lawyer along?" "You don't trust me, do you?" "So ask Durrani" "How could you do such a thing?" "That's just how Nirmala is" "There isn't anyone in the office she hasn't tried to seduce when she couldn't succeed, she trapped my poor innocent brother" "So that's how it is?" " What else?" "And what's this?" " Diary?" "Brother's diary?" "Read it" ""Nirmala, you are a beautiful dream"" ""Your body is like the waves in the sea..."" ""your lips are like the wings of a colorful butterfly..."" "wonderful, brother" ""l sometimes think..."" ""l have been wandering in search of you for ages..."" ""calling out your name..." "Nirmala!" "Nirmala!"" "well done, brother." "And I thought I was the only poet around I feel like a moron after going through your work!" "Take me for your disciple..." " No..." "Please!" " No, Nirmala... I'll show you something more" "Look at this!" "wow!" "what a great pose" "That's his mistake. ln love and murder... one mustn't ever leave a clue." "And my brother's a class in himself" "He has given you proof!" "Turn around and face me, brother" "You have such a lovely wife." "So how could you do this?" "He can't tell you!" "He's been waiting for me to die!" "whatever I've done, Sharda..." "I admit. lt was a mistake" "But I shared no intimacy with the girl lt was a platonic relationship" "She needed comfort and security..." " With that... you gave her what is only a wife's right" "You could have given her all the money... but not the love only I am entitled to" "She was in need of a man." "Any man." "And I wanted Ranjit alone" "You gave my Ranjit to her!" "what do you say now?" "That's exactly why people like me are still bachelors, sister-in-law when married men won't leave girls alone... how will we bachelors ever marry?" "Anyway, forget it now" "C'mon, brother!" "Step forward and ask for her forgiveness" "Promise her that you will never make this mistake again I've already apologised to her, Durrani" "But she won't forgive me what other right does a woman have, except to forgive?" "Sister-in-law... won't you ever forgive me, Sharda?" "Even if I do, we can't share the same relationship again" "Please don't say that, Sharda." "Give me any punishment you want to" "You have given me a punishment when one forsakes his first love for a second... it paves the way for a third and a fourth" "But he can never return to his first love" "Ranjit, my body still smells of you" "But my smell no longer lingers in yours" "Sharda, even God forgives one trespass I swear it on you. I will be the same Ranjit again" "Let's go away someplace" "Let's stay together in Kashmir we'll find our lost love there" "If not for me, at least for Rinku's sake" "Daddy, I've got Mummy to agree" "Really?" " Yes well done, my son!" "Our visit to Kashmir is certainly on when?" "I'll apply for leave today." "we'll leave next Sunday." " First show me the tickets I'll buy the tickets today, son." "I'll show it to you tomorrow" "won't you button my coat today?" " What's the point?" "You will open it when you're out." " l won't anymore. I promise" "Did you send for me, brother?" "Yes, Durrani." "There's 5333 rupees lying in my account" "Please send that to me" "And send my leave application to the G.M." "Leave?" " Yes I'm taking my wife and kid to Kashmir" "A very good thing too." "No better way of letting the wounds heal I'll send the money to you" "You're here?" " To leave" "My resignation letter." "Please give it to the boss" "One moment" "Please come with me" "Go on." " No" "Go on, I say." "And take this" "If you could accept my resignation and pay me my dues, I'd be grateful" "Sit down." " No, I'm all right" "I feel strange to accept your resignation" "But maybe this is what is best for us lf you come to the office and we meet... I might weaken yet again" "But please do not misunderstand me." " Let's not talk about all that I need the money very badly." "Please have it paid to me right now why?" " My grandpa's in a bad way" "The operation must take place immediately I've got to go to my uncle in Nagpur to raise the money" "You will get your money right now" "But please forgive me, Nirmala" "Listen... I want to meet you one last time." "I've got to discuss something" "Discuss it right here" " Here, in the office?" "I'll wait for you at Gazebo at 5." " l'm not coming" "Please." "For my sake" "Nobody helps you when you're in trouble, Nimmo" "Had they to help, wouldn't they have sent us the money?" "You will go and ask for the money and return humiliated" "Don't go" "The operation must take place, grandpa." "I'll go and meet uncle." " Don't go" "Your grandpa's right." "You mustn't go" "How will the operation take place?" "where will the money come from?" "Please manage with this. lt's 5333" "Why must I accept your money?" "I'm terribly ashamed of myself" "This good deed might make me feel better" "Listen... who was this angel, dear?" "How will I go home?" "what will I tell them?" "You?" " Yes" "Please don't ask me to sit down I have apologised to you." "But I've come to make up for my mistake I really regret falling for Ranjit's tale of woes without even thinking that there could be no logical end to it" "But I don't want to take this drama any further" "The drama has already ended" "Not as yet." "There's more to it" "Please take this 5333 Rupees" "Money?" "what for?" "Ranjit has paid me a price for the betrayal" "A price?" " Yes, a price" "The price Ranjit has put on my love, is rightfully yours lt's your money." "Not mine lt can't put together my broken heart" "But it could yet mend your broken home" "Daddy, tickets?" "Didn't you say I'm a liar and a cheat, my son?" "You were right." "But we're going to Kashmir, aren't we?" " No, son. I'm sorry." "Not this time." " l've told my friends... that we're going to Kashmir!" "what will I tell them now?" "You always let me down." " Listen, son... what will you say to your son, except sorry?" "If Nirmala had made a wish, you'd sell your house for her" "What happened?" " What would happen?" "You gave her the money you had saved?" "When did I give it to her?" "She conned me out of it" "Conned you?" "And you're a wiser man now?" "Oh yes, Sharda" "I realise today that a wife is always a wife" "And the other woman is the one who ruins the home l've begun to hate Nirmala" "Hate her?" " Yes, hate her!" "You're saying wise things today" "What was wrong... when you fell in love with her?" " l..." "I was an ass then!" "My brains weren't working!" " And now?" "Do you want to hear What she did to me?" "Let me hear this story too, Ranjit" "Stories are all over, Sharda" "What I'm telling you now is the truth" "She came to the office today." "She threatened to give me a bad name" "Actually, she wanted money" "She was faking love earlier, for the sake of money" "But today, she straight away got down to blackmail" "And she conned you of 5333 rupees... the money you had withdrawn for our Kashmir trip" "Yes." "That's right" "Stop it, Ranjit." "Why are you slandering Nirmala's name ?" "You think I'll be happy if you bad-mouth her?" "This is the money, isn't it?" "The money...?" "with you?" "Yes." "Nirmala came here and personally gave it to me" "But why?" "So that this money may mend our broken home" "So that it may prevent it from being shattered" "And you are accusing her." "You ought to be ashamed" "What was it that you could not tell me?" "You were the one who gave Nirmala this money" "Ranjit, when man gets used to lying... his soul weakens and he can't live truthfully anymore" "Nirmala is an angel, Ranjit lt's man who actually spoils woman lt's man who ruins her" "You have ruined Nirmala." "You have destroyed me" "You have ruined this home. I'm not going to live here anymore!" "Sharda, listen..." "Can't you forgive me?" "Mummy, where are you going?" "Daddy, where is Mummy going?" "Mummy, tell me where you are going" "Nowhere, my son." "Nowhere!" "Brother, everything okay?" " Everything's okay" "There's something I must tell you, Durrani" "There's a basic difference between man and woman" "A woman will relax once she has found love... and man will go around distributing his love" "That's the observation of the elite, brother lt won't apply to people like me" "All said and done, a woman can love only one man at a given time" "And this species called man... he has such a large heart... that he goes about loving many..."
