"Don't be stubborn." "I'm not being stubborn." "I win the contest every year." "And my dress is better than hers." "Take your prize." "I have never been defeated and never will be." "I will take this trophy and not the second prize!" "Reema, it's your turn now." "Give me this for a minute." " Why?" "Give it to her." " I won't share my things." "But I won the prize!" "What?" "You defeated me?" "!" "What nonsense is this?" "Teach your older daughter to accept defeat." "...and your younger one to win." "Or they will always be at loggerheads." "Give me a minute more..." "I've been hearing that for the past two hours." "Go out and see if it's bright now or still cloudy." "Why do you want to know that?" "Because if it's sunny, I'II wear this bright dress." "I hope it's not sunny, or she'II take two more hours." "First she'II change her dress, then her make-up." "Then she will wear matching jewellery!" "It's not sunny." "I think it will remain cloudy." "Don't make any assumptions, Reema." "alright." "Take your time." "I'II take an auto." "Are there any new books?" " Yes." "Are you Ravi Saxena?" " So far I am." "I have read a Iot about you."

"Greetings, Sir." " Greetings." "You took a Iong time." " I apologise." "Your exhibition seems to be a hit." "It will be, when rich people like you spend money." "Go ahead!" "I have to leave in haIf-an-hour." "This is good." "It's already sold out." " How do you know?" "There is a red dot marked on it." "This is spectacular!" "It's sold." "It's a strange coincidence!" "Who is this man who has similar tastes?" "It is a lady." " I see..." "Who is she?" " There she is." "Put a red dot on the painting she is intently looking at." "I have bought it." " Won't you look at it?" "I don't need to." "Her choice will be mine, too." "I should buy this." " It's already sold." "Not really, though there is a hitch." "Madam wants to buy the painting you've bought." "You may take it." "You needn't worry now." "Taking a second look, it doesn't seem so impressive." "It's for you." "She is right." "The painting indeed isn't impressive." "Didn't you buy this painting?" " No." "Then, I'II buy it." "You should always buy what you Iike." "...and not what others like." "tell me something." " Yes." "Do you always get what you Iike?" "I wonder if a red dot has been marked on her." "Her name is Roma Mathur." "She had given me her card when she came." "Are you watching TV?" " No, I am not watching TV." "Then you'd better switch it on immediately." "Why?" " Gosh..." "The longer you continue talking to me, the more you'II be at a loss." "AII right." "Who told you that business and romance do not mix?" "So, why is there no romance in your life?" "Because it is essential to have a girl in romance." "Is there no girl in your life?" "I have met that girl only once." "tell our audience, who the fortunate girl is." "It's too personal a matter." "But if she's watching this programme she will certainly know that I'm hinting at her." "What if she isn't watching this programme?" "Then I will have to meet her personally." "Did you watch my programme?" "I was hinting at you." "feeling shy won't do." "I have told you what I feel."

"Here's the phone." "Go ahead!" "What happened?" " It was a man's voice." "Try again." "Now what?" " It was a woman this time." "atleast you know that animals don't answer calls there."

"What a bomb!" "She's the 'society' girl." " Let go of her." "Let me warm my hands." "What's wrong?" "Then stop staring." " I'm staring at her, not you." "Do I have to pay to stare at her?" "Don't show off, bloody pimp!" "What were you saying?" "Sit in the car." "I can't believe, I can fight on the streets." "Do you realise now, why I don't want you to model?" "If I had come on time, then all this..." "I made you wait for long." "I'II make amends and wait for you tomorrow." "I'II reach an hour before time." "We will then go for the movie."

"This is not the time to go out." "I'II call you back as soon as he rings me up." "What's wrong?" "Reema, I have a splitting headache." "Ravi must be on his way." "Make him understand." "I've got a terrible pain..." "You can do the explaining now." "I was waiting for you, all dressed up when I suddenly got a headache." "We can't miss the movie today." "Have some tablets." "Everything'II be fine." "I don't take tablets unnecessarily." "A couple of hours of sleep will do me good." "please leave me alone for a while." "You take rest." "I'II go for the film with Reema." "No." "I won't come." "Come on..." " Not me..." "You look terrible when you're angry." "shall we go for the movie?" "No." "Let's return home." "No." "We won't return." " Then?" "I'II tell you." "So, this is the honeymoon cottage you were telling me about." "It is a beautiful place." "Whenever I'm worried or depressed I come here." "So, one has to be depressed or worried to come here?" "Let me show you the room which I've made for Roma." "Wow!" "You know my sister's choice too well." "What a gift to think about!" "What will be your wedding gift to Roma?" "Me?" "Gift her with a little of your understanding and tolerance and the ability to forgive." "We will need these qualities after marriage." "As per your wishes, if I do gift sister with them what will you give me in return?" "Whatever you wish." " Then let's go home." "Patch-up with sister." "You're welcome."

"And nothing for me?" "How can it be?" "This is for you." "Why didn't you give me my present first?" "I was only teasing you." "It's very pretty." " I will take that saree." "But, sister, green is Ravi's favourite colour!" "Maybe." "But it doesn't suit me." "I will take that one only." "AII right." "You may take this one." "You have become the son-in-Iaw of this family now." "It's your duty to find a good suitor for Reema." "Grandma, why do you have to insist on a good suitor?" "For Reema, even some ordinary suitor would do." "Did you have to say this?" "You made her weep" "I was only joking." "Moreover, Reema has got used to weeping." "I'II be back." "You are weeping?" "No." "I am not weeping." "Is this the same Reema who used to make me understand that your sister is a nice girl, she speaks ill sometimes." "And that she doesn't keep anything at heart?" "What's happened today?" "Today you have felt hurt at your sister's statement?" "I am asking for pardon on your sister's behalf." "Forgive her." "Roma is such a lucky girl." " Why?" "When I get angry at her, you make me understand." "And when you get angry at her, I make you understand." "In this way, she escapes scotfree." "tell me something..." "If we get angry at each other, who will make us understand?" "But why would we become angry at each other?" "If such a thing happens, I would be the loser." "I'm normal now." " After all, what are friends for?" "I needed a friend yesterday." "Today, you're needing one." "congratulations." " Why?" "BhaIIa has signed you as the heroine of his next film." "What!" " And do you know..." "The film's shooting will start from the 9th, i.e. next week." "The 9th?" "Yes and then a month's outdoor shooting." "Why are you quiet?" "You should be ecstatic!" "I am getting married on the 9th." "Why did you do all this if you were getting married?" "Married women have no place in films." "And this is an opportunity of a lifetime." "What do I..." "You can opt for marriage or films." "The choice is yours." "I am very scared." " That I'II defeat you?" "No." "How can you defeat me?" " Then?" "Everything is happing so quickly." "I got engaged yesterday." "I'II be married the day after tomorrow." "You will be getting married after a month." "Your turn first." "But there should be time to think, too." "You're amazing!" "Everything is happening according to your wishes." "And everything will continue to happen likewise." "Everything seems so monotonous." "I mean, it will be the same music the same nuptiaI pyre, the priest the same 1 ,000-year old customs and traditions." "Sometimes, these boring things can be interesting." "And you love Ravi." "That's fine." "I have reached a dead-end now." "And I haven't been born to be only Mrs. Ravi Saxena." "Why else were you born?" "I didn't get time to think about that either." "That's wrong!" "The knight doesn't move in that direction." "Keep this aside!" "Chess is boring." "And it isn't necessary that the knight should follow a set pattern." ""The procession of the groom will arrive...""

"You have set an example in infidelity and betrayal." "Sister, please..." "Stop calling me your sister!" "You did a noble deed by protecting your parents' dignity." "You must have been praised for it." "Your drama has ended!" "What is your status?" "A mere substitute of a wife!" "Don't you dare say anything about my wife!" "Wife?" "Do you call a woman you used to take revenge on me, as your wife?" "I thought, you'd be ashamed to even show your face." "How dare you come here!" "You are the betrayer and you are the infidel." "You ran away from the wedding altar." "And you have the audacity to accuse us!" "Anyway, why should I have waited for you?" "I am tolerating your nonsense for Reema's sake, or..."

"She called at 4, saying she was going." "Then..." "There is no need to worry." "She has regained consciousness." "You may take her home in a couple of days." "But remember, she is mentally disturbed." "Such patients could keep showing suicidal tendencies." "So don't leave her alone and try to keep her happy." "The patient wants to see Mrs.Reema." "What have you done and why?" "Why are you crying?" "I should be the one crying." "I spoke very rudely, the other day." "I have hurt everyone." "But the only thing I know is to hurt others." "I thought of killing myself, but the attempt was futile." "Enough!" "One doesn't kill oneself because of what happens in the heat of the moment." "I have already forgotten everything you had said." "But I haven't forgotten it." "till you forgive me, I will not be able to forget a thing." "It's not advisable for the patient to talk too much." "I'II come again tomorrow." "I want to say something." "Yes?" "Father will not keep sister at home." "So?" "Where will she go all alone?" " What are you implying?" "Can we keep her at our place?" "This is your home..." "You can do as you please." "If you think it is right, I have no objection." "Why are you standing outside?" "Come in." "I feel as if I had come home." "These flowers are beautiful." " I knew you'd Iike them." "Who can know my likes and dislikes better than you do?" "Come...be seated." "Rest here." "I'II get some juice for you." "No." "Sit with me." "Here..." "Ravi must have disapproved of me coming here?" "No." "He himself wanted you to come here." "After what I did to him..." "he must be..." "Forget the past..." "Even I want to forget it." "Because it is not worth remembering that I ruined my own life..." "I am my biggest Enemy." "I pursued a shadow and the sun set on it." "...putting an end to the shadow." "Do you know what happened to the film?" "For which I had left everything?" "After shooting for 15 days the producer threw me out of the film." "He signed a renowned actress instead." "You start living life afresh." "You'II forget all this as if it were a terrible nightmare." "Is Roma staying at Reema's as house?" "What could I do, Grandma?" "I was awaiting your return." "Your son is not willing to hear the mention of Roma's name." "It was nice that Reema and Ravi took her with them." "Have you gone mad?" "She will ruin Reema's marital happiness." "Why are you in the study at this time of the night?" "Why are you still awake?" "That is not an answer to my question." "actually, I wanted to apologise for misbehaving the other night." "Where is the need to apologise?" "There is a need." "I have hurt you deeply..." "You may have, but I have no hard feelings now." "I know that you still love me." "You are under the wrong impression." "I feel nothing for you now." "I feel no love, or hatred or anger." "It is a nice way to console your heart." "If I haven't said the truth then this pillow would not have been here." "I'II prepare the tea today." " No." "I will..." "You relax." "I'II get some exercise, too." "How much of sugar, Vinay?" " Two-and-a-haIf spoons." "And you, Reema?" " One spoon." "Here..." "Ravi, two spoons for you, right?" "I remember..." "That was in the past." "Now I take only one spoon." "My tastes have changed." "Reema, make the tea for me." "Come, sister." "I wanted to talk to you." " Yes?" "I am a bit worried." " Why?" "I hope there is no tension between Ravi and you... because of me?" " Why do you think so?" "Then why does he sleep in the study instead of the bedroom?" "It was my decision." "The circumstances under which we got married were difficult to fully accept." "You did the right thing, Reema." "It would have been the most humiliating thing if Ravi married you out of anger and compulsion." "In your place, I would never have picked up such Ieft-overs!" "Anyway, what had to happen has happened." "The two of you can't continue to live like this." "I mean...if, by my going away this distance can be made up for..." "What are you saying?" "Where will you go now?" "I haven't got my things here." "May I borrow your sari?" "certainly." "Pick any one you Iike." "Which do you Iike?" "But you don't like this sari." "That was in the past." "My tastes have changed." "Be seated, sister." "This is your favourite colour, isn't it, Ravi?" "How do I Iook?" "You were right." "This colour doesn't suit you at all." "This colour suits more on Reema." "Where are you going?" " Sister didn't eat food." "Be seated." "She's not a kid." "She will eat if she feels hungry." "You heard me." " But you don't understand..." "Which magazine have you brought today?" "I got an offer of a film for Roma and not a magazine." "But Roma has declined it." "You've refused?" "I won't act because you don't like it." "Leave my choice aside." "The country needs good actresses." "Mr. SuniI, ask her to do the role." "When she can act so beautifully at home she will surely create a sensation on the screen." "What is it that you want?" "What's wrong?" "You don't waste an opportunity to put me down." "Why?" "What's the reason for that?" "I'm even willing to change myself to please you..." "As I 'had' pleased." "For how long and how much will you lie to yourself?" "I know that you can't live without me." "And listen to something now." "I can't live without you either." "Get one thing clear." "You are only Reema's elder sister to me." "And you have no place in my heart." " Nobody can take my place." "Aren't you ashamed to speak to your younger sister's husband in this manner?" "Don't talk about these middIe-cIass values to me." "I am not Reema." "I'm Roma!" "Love is stronger than all these farcical relationships." "You know it too well that you didn't get me and so married Reema." "To keep your male ego intact." "You can get married any number of times but you will aways love me." "Did you hear that?" "You will always love me.." "...because you have always loved me." "please forgive me." "We will start our lives afresh." "Divorce Reema..." "Enough!" "Get out before I say something nasty..." "Wait!" "Don't open the door." "Don't reject me." "I can't bear that." "Why don't you understand?" "I can't live without you." "Look..." "look..." "Take me in your arms and embrace me." "I Iove you very much!" "Don't leave me." "I can't bear it." "Embrace me..." "Don't force me to call the security guards..." "It'II be better if you leave!" "You are crazy!" "How did you Iike this style of committing suicide?" "I have something important to say." "Isn't she the same girl who tried to kill herself by swallowing some pills?" " Yes." "I have her report." "Yes...and no!" "please come." "Why are you so late?" "What happened to her?" " It was a minor accident." "I took her to the doctor." " Let me..." "No." "I'II take her."

"Has Roma had her breakfast?" " No." "She's not in the mood." "5 kilograms of rice." "Don't listen to what he says." "Order everything extra." "I think your sister has become a permanent member here." "What nonsense is this?" "I was only joking." " It was a cruel joke." "apologise to her." "Didn't you hear me?" "I heard." "Let him go." "He must not have meant anything bad." "I apologise on behalf of Vinay." "alright." "Let's go." "shall I come to leave you at the airport in the morning?" "There's no need." "I'm only going to delhi." "I'm taking the suitcase now." "As I may disturb you in the morning." "Check-mate." "You can never defeat me." "Just a minute." "Now I know how to protect my King." "This is called check-and-mate." "You've defeated me for the first time." " I have learnt from my mistakes." "I won't get defeated now." "One minute..." "Where is Reema?" " She is sleeping." "tell her I'II be back home at 10.30 tomorrow." "Whose phone was it?" "It was SuniI." "Are you going to the bazaar tomorrow?" " Yes." "At ten O'cIock." "I'II give you a list of the things I want." "please get them for me." "I want to talk to you about Roma." "Who's Roma?" " Don't you want to know how and where she is?" "I think it's been quite some days since she died." "Where's Madam?" " She's gone to the bazaar." "I'm in my room." "Make a cup of tea for me." "The shower in my bathroom wasn't working." "So, I came here." "Why are you angry?" "You didn't inform me about coming here." "I had called." "Didn't Roma tell you?" "Listen, Roma..." "You knew Ravi would return at this time, right?" "No." "Oh, yes!" "I forgot to tell you." "He had called up last night." "What's wrong with me these days?" "Why is Roma living with us a problem to you?" "It will be a problem for 'you' pretty soon." "Why are you interfering in matters not concerning you?" "How long will you stay in your sister's house?" "Come home and apologise to father." "Me?" "apologise?" "Never!" "...not in this life, at Ieast!" "In any case, I can't stay in that house now." "What are you saying, dear?" " please stay here, granny." "No." "How can I Iive in your husband's place?" "Anyway, my staying here is not going to help matters." "But listen to one thing carefully." "Ravi is your husband." "And not some trophy you've won which Roma can snatch and which you can give." "Dear, hold the reins of your home tightly." "But..." " No, dear." "This is your battle and you will have to fight it alone." "please, stop displaying your hysterics." "I admit that you can get anything from anyone you want you can conquer the world if you want to." "But leave Ravi for me." "Because Ravi means the world to me." "Don't make your world so small." "To be after a man who is beyond your reach is foolishness." "Stop this madness." "Wear your spectacles and look around..." "You will find a world beyond Ravi." "But this is my world." "...Ravi and this home." "only an Indian wife can know this." "You can't." "You didn't go around the sacred fire or apply the vermillion." "...Or wear a 'mangaIsutra' around your neck." "By draping a towel, you can't compare yourself with me." "You're used to my Ieft-over things." "You dare to compare yourself with me now!" "Forget all the marital rites and throw away this 'mangaIsutra'." "Your 'Indian' husband also wants that." "It's not so easy to separate this from a married woman." "It is easy." "You wear this 'mangaIsutra' because of me." "...let me throw it away!" "Your love didn't have the strength even then or this 'manguIsutra' would not have been around my neck." "And your love lacks the strength even now to break this sacred bond!" "You have no idea about its strength." "Distribute the rest." "Is this any way to wish him on his birthday?" "Someone who is most near and dear and loved should be wished this way." "should we have a party for your birthday in the evening?" "No." "I want to give Ravi a fiesta today." "will you come out with me in the evening?" "We'II go out in the evening." "You won't come." "only Ravi and I will go." "You will come, won't you?" "You won't get scared to come alone with me?" "Fear?" "No." "Why should someone who is most near and dear be feared?" "My brother is blushing, as if he had a date with you." "We will go out in the evening..." "only the two of us." "Where do you want to go?" " Anywhere." "congratulations!" "You looked so surprised as if you were unaware that it is your birthday." "I was not aware of this party." "Did you...?" " Didn't Roma tell you?" "Where is she?" "celebrate the party." "We're going out." "We will join you later." "Let's go." " Yes."

"Are you going to shift me to your room?" "I am going to shift you from this house." "Good!" "I am glad to see my younger sister grow up." "I won't become a 'big' shameless woman like you." "I am ashamed to call you my elder sister." "Then call me your husband's mistress." "I'II cut your tongue off if you say that again!" "You have taken my place and even started talking like me." "You are the ideal, sacrificing, Indian woman." "Then, what are you doing in this new disguise?" "An ideal Indian woman will sacrifice anything for her husband's weII-being." "And can take any form to save her husband from damnation." "Before accusing me learn to make your home a happy place." "Are you exercising your authority on the house of a man whose bed you could not share?" "No!" "I'm exercising authority on the house of a man who places me in his heart." "You will find many beds to share outside." "Reema won't get slapped and accept defeat today." "I have always been the dutiful younger sister..." "But you always considered that to be your victory." "I should not accept defeat." "And Ravi has made me realise this." "If only my parents had me realise it then I would have been Ravi's first love." "Reema, don't fool yourself." "I am Ravi's first and last love." "You mean nothing to him." "And if you don't believe me then ask Ravi." "...what I mean to him." "What does she mean to you?" "I got your answer." "I can't live here any longer." " No, Reema." "This is your house and will remain so." "You won't leave." "The two of us will." "Let's go." "Wait, Ravi." "I want to tell you something."

"True love always wins." "If you hadn't accepted me in front of Reema, then I would have killed myself." "You have proved it twice that you can die for me." "I will also die for you now." "Drive slowly, Ravi." "What have you done?" "Why are you driving so fast?" "please drive slowly!" "We have passed my home." "Stop the car!" "I'm scared!" "What are you doing?" "Look ahead!" "See where we're going!" "Stop the car!" "What are you doing?" "Leave my hand!" "Leave my hand!" "Leave me!" "Have you gone crazy?" "Leave my hand!" "I don't want to die!" "Leave my hand!" "I don't want to die!" "You can die alone, if you wish." "Did you hear me?" "Leave my hand." "Stop the car!" "I knew you'd never leave me alone." "And I knew you'd leave me alone and escape." "To commit suicide is a crime." "What about committing suicide as a gimmick?" "So, this was all a gimmick?" " Yes, it was." "To prove that you never wanted to kill yourself for me." "Are you saying this?" " No!" "The doctor said it." "His report says that you had only 2 or 3 sleeping pills." "Then you slashed your wrists in front me." "You knew nobody could have saved you if you were alone." "I did all this to get your love." "You don't love me." "By having me, you wanted to defeat Reema again." "And I didn't want to see Reema defeated again." "So, I pretended to be in love with you to see how much you could stoop." "The Roma whom I had truly loved has been long dead." "The one before me now is a selfish, seIf-centred and arrogant Roma whom I immensely hate." " Then go back to Reema!" "...who isn't selfish, arrogant or beautiful like me..." "beautiful?" "You can see many of your flaws in this mirror..." "Look deep into yourself." "You will see a very ugly woman." "And you call yourself beautiful?" "You ran away from the marriage altar." "You couldn't be my wife and you call yourself beautiful?" "You put your parent's honour at stake." "You couldn't be a dutifuI daughter and you call yourself beautiful?" "You want to ruin the happiness of your sister who sheltered you..." "You couldn't be a good sister." "And you call yourself beautiful?" "You are a narcissist." "You can't give others happiness, but you can only steal it." "You are a disgrace to the race of womanhood." "And you call yourself beautiful?" "Beauty is not what is reflected in the mirror." "...Beauty is what is invisible in the mirror." "I saw such beauty in Reema." "I Iove her from the bottom of my heart." "Today, Reema has proved how much she loves me." "These shattered pieces of the mirror are your life." "Maybe you will realise your mistakes when they prick you." "Do you think you've defeated me?" "No, sister." " Do you think you've stolen Ravi from me?" " No." "Do you think that Ravi loves you now?" "No." "You think you're more beautiful and intelligent than I am?" "No." "Then, what is it about you that has made Ravi fall in love with you and not me?" "Why are you so good?" "Why am I not Iike you?" "I've been defeated!" "I've been defeated!" "Forgive me." "Forgive me, Reema." "No, sister." "shall I tell you something?" "You look terrible when you cry." "Ravi, I..." "will you listen to me without asking any questions?" "I Iove you very much."
