"Don't they feel hot?" "Stop the car, Rajsingh." "Why, aunt?" "What are you doing?" "Come, Viren." "You too come on out of the car." "Aunt?" " Come on, Viren." "But aunt, here?" "Bow down and touch your forehead to this land, son." "Bow?" "What for?" "Because you've come here for the first time." "This is the threshold of your house." "Won't just joining my hands do?" "The ground must be very hot." "Viren." " Ok, ok, don't glare like that." "Forehead!" "Help me, God!" "I said, bow down and touch your forehead to the ground." "Oh, God!" "God!" "Get back inside, aunt." " Come on." "Get moving, Rajsingh." "You used to pine for this desert while you were away?" "This is not just a desert."

"They are sitting there as though this desert is air-conditioned!" "What stuff are these people made of?" "They are made out of the local soil." "They're as seasoned as the trees above them."

"I didn't know my eyes held so many tears." "Your father won't like you crying like this." "I'm not used to living without him." "What shall I do?" "Face the facts, and learn to live without him." "But how did this happen?" "I don't know." "It was all so sudden." "But whatever he had to tell, he told Viren." "Who's he?" "Our neighbour." "The one who was here yesterday?" "Will you listen to something I have to say, Viren?" "Why ask?" "Have I ever refused to obey you?" "In that case, you must return to London today itself." "You're being unfair, aunt." "You wouldn't let me return, when I wanted to." "And now that I don't want to leave, you're asking me to go." "I've promised her father." "Ma'am..." " What is it?" "Mr. Siddharth is here to see the prince." "Tell him that I'll be there." " All right, sir." "Hello." " Nice to meet you." "Please sit down." " Thanks." "Have a seat." "Everything is well over there, I hope?" "I can't really say, sir." "Call me Viren, Mr. Bhatnagar." "That also sounds very formal." "Call me Siddharth." "Okay." "Siddharth!" "Sounds better." "I don't know whether Pallavi has mentioned me to you." "No." "Nothing." "We are in love." "We love each other." "You're very fortunate." "Very lucky." "But my family background is not as grand as yours." "Does that make any difference?" "Not to me, and maybe even you." "But her father was very orthodox." "It was very important to him." "Let alone a background, I don't even have a family!" "But then, your name..." "I'm told I was found on a street and brought up in an orphanage." "When it was time for me to go to school a father's name was essential." "The manager liked me a lot, so he put his own name for me." "I was a good student, so I won scholarships and continued to study." "This way, an orphan became an officer in the air force and at an air force function, I met Pallavi." "To be frank with you, Viren I was very scared of my feelings for her." "But she's a special girl." "She said it made no difference to her." "And that she'd manage her father." "He's no more." "Sol thought why get married here?" "May I take her with me?" "We'll get married there." "Mr. Bhatnagar..." "I'm sorry." "Siddharth..." "If you don't mind, we'd prefer that she weds here and the bridal couple leave her ancestral home together." "What say, aunt?" " Yes." "Hello, aunt." " Bless you." "Have you spoken to her about the wedding?" "I thought I'd talk to Viren and then he'd convince her..." "Don't worry about that." "I'll talk to her myself." "Ck-." "Hello, Viren here." "This is Salamat Ali speaking." "Mr. Thakur's lawyer." "Yes?" "I've spoken to them, like you asked." "But they are adamant." "Bring them to me." "I know how to deal with such people." "Whose phone was it?" " I'll tell you later, aunt." "Give me a list of your invitees." "I'll invite them all." "There'll be just two from my side." "Aunt and yourself." "Thanks a lot!" "I'll go now." "Ok, Viren." "I didn't show him my feelings, did I?" "No, son." "Sir, this is Mr. Thakur's mother and they are Prakash Singh and Dhanraj Singh, his..." "Step-brothers." "My sons." "You know what I want." "How will we know what exactly you want?" "I don't want the case's result disclosed to the family here." "Pallavi will have to be told." "She has to vacate the house." "We're sorry that he died just after hearing the news." "We didn't have the pleasure of throwing him out physically..." "But this girl..." "Watch what you say!" "Not one vile thing against them." "Now listen to me." "Until she leaves the house with her husband you're to stay away from here." "What will you give us for that?" " What's your price?" "When will she leave?" " Next week." "That means six days from now." "That makes it Rs.600000." "And Rs.100000 more for the slap you gave me." "Salamat Ali Khan." " Yes, sir." "Give them a cheque for Rs.1 million." "And just take them away!" "Come, ma'am." "Today all my efforts have been worth it, Viren." "Today you've really matured, Prince Virendra Kumar Singh." "Today I feel like addressing you by your title." "Aunt!" " Bless you!" "I've arrived." ""You called me, here I am." "I've brought my life in my palms."" "Aunt!" " Bless you." "How are you?" " Losing some hair..." "How come you're here?" "Then would there be a wedding without me?" "Come, dear." "There's something I wanted to discuss with you." "Oh, my God!" "One moment." "Hello!" "I'm Prem Anand." "I'm Vireo's childhood friend." "You know when I was seven..." " Prem..." "I got it." "Hello!" " Hello!" "Tell me!" "Is she a girl or a bombshell?" "When are you getting married?" "You've just come." "Have a wash, then we'll chat..." "Good idea!" "What a girl you've chosen." "She is too much!" "She is three much, four much!" "Viren!" "Viren!" "I admit she's so lovely." "It won't be easy to forget her." "But you should have told her of your feelings, at least once." "What difference would that have made?" "She'd have loved her guy anyway." "Well, it's not the end of the world!" "I don't know." "It might be." "But you..." " There are no ifs and buts in love." "I didn't love her with the stipulation that she must love me too." "She loves Siddharth, she'll be happy with him." "That's all I want." "May fortune smile on you." "You always were beautiful but never as beautiful as you look today." "I miss father very much." "That you will, all your life." "He always said he'd go as dowry with you." "Now his memories are your dowry." "No, don't cry." "May God give you a long happy life." "What's wrong with Viren?" "He hasn't met me for days." "He's very busy with the preparations." "He's looking after everything himself." "Your father had handed over your responsibility to him." "Tell him that I won't leave without meeting him." "If I see him, I'll give him your message." ""This kurta that's made of muslin..."" ""My beloved you come to me.""

"Yes." "Then I am too." "I've been very bad to you." "I've really harassed you." "What nonsense!" "You're very nice, very good." "If I can ever be of help, write to me." "Can I?" "Go on."

"What time limit?" "What Rs.1 million?" "Kishan." "Throw these people out of our property." "This house, this land, is all ours now." "Your father had lost the case..." "Yes, Viren wanted you to leave happily before they claimed it all." "That's why he had to buy some time from them." "Papa died, the mansion is not mine." "I've become all alone now." "God forbid!" "Why should you feel alone?" "You have your husband with you." "I cried so much against these walls." "Such insult to those tears." "I'll never forgive Viren for this." "That's your personal opinion, but he did his duty." "We both are indebted to him." "And it's a debt we can never repay." "Just take me away from here." "Bless you, dear." "But don't misunderstand Viren." "There's no question about that." "Now I know why he didn't wait for you." "He didn't want to face this moment." "I'd have done the same thing if I were he."

"I just can't believe she resembles her mother so much!" "Does she know you loved..." "And don't tell her either." "But how can you?" "You didn't even tell Pallavi herself, that you..." "Why does all this happen to you only?" "God's losing... his sense of humour too." "He thinks He's played a practical joke on you." "I'd have also kept quiet, had I been in your shoes." "One thing is sure." "As long as she's here you won't forget Pallavi, and Pooja is here." ""When the peacock calls during the night..."" ""My bangles tinkle, O Sir..."

"Let's meet for lunch at 1.30 p.m." "Yes, I'll reserve the table." "OK." "Bye!" "Before fixing that, you should have asked the weather first." "What?" "Such a sunny day and Anita?" "It's a wrong combination." "Just look at the weather." "It's as though the Indian summer has come here on a holiday." "We hardly see such weather here." " Let's go out somewhere." "Yes, Kunwarji." "Let's have fun." "Please." "If I hadn't any work, I'd have come." "Okay." "Give me back the blood you sucked." "That's called Tit for Tat!" "Go on, return it to her." "You're going to get it from me one day." "I'll see you, Daija." " Ok." "What the hell!" "He has completely spoilt it." "Okay, let's have a picnic today." "Yes!" "Dija..." "I thought you'd be asleep." "What's the matter?" "You seem worried." "Maybe you're also seeing what I'm seeing." "Don't worry, Daija." "I don't want to see either of them unhappy." "Relax." "How can I relax?" "I am tense." "Pooja knows nothing of Vireo's feelings." "Everything will be fine." "Great man!" "Hi Anita!" "I had fallen asleep." "If you feel sleepy, you should go to your room." "Good nigh, Kunwarji." " Good night!" "Good night, Anita." "Would you like to have it?" "No, thank you." "You can't do this to me, Viren." "Sit." " Where do I sit?" "The seat next to you seems to be occupied!" "How can you talk like that?" "What else?" "I'm not one of them who throw themselves at others." "You can't treat me like a doormat." "Anita, please!" "What's wrong with you?" "You invited me for lunch, and you forgot?" "I'm not blind..." "And this hair is not mine either." "I did not wait 5 years for you, to see this." "Anita I am sorry for today." "But you are jumping to the wrong conclusions." "I'm not jumping to any conclusions." "I love you and I don't want to lose you." "Start living with your eyes open and stop this pretense." "The girl who was leaning on you was not Pallavi." "Pallavi is dead, and she has been so for the past 18 years." "18 years!" "And 18 years is a pretty long time." "That's exactly what I'm trying to say." "She's Pooja, not Pallavi." "I'm not advising or accusing you." "But think of the girl." "Can't you see that she is madly in love with you." "Old woman is found dead in the fridge!" "Once again an old woman is found dead." "Frozen to death." "You don't go near the fridge." "You should also not go near the fridge, ok?" "Hurry up with the breakfast, please." "I've to rush." "I'll just give it to you." "Morning, Prem." " Good morning!" "Tell them, I'll come after lunch." "Yes, good morning, Lisa." "Were there any calls for me?" "Yes, Fine. ok." "Yes, I'll be there in sometime." "Bye!" "Good morning, Kunwarji." "Hi buddy!" "Good morning!" " Good morning, Daija!" "Good morning!" "Here's the breakfast." "I won't have any breakfast." "I'm in a hurry." "I'll leave now." "Why did he go off like that?" "Must have remembered something important." "He'll never do what he should!" "And always does, what he should not!" "Anyway. "The egg is calling you."" ""it is whistling to you."" "I am looking just like Jack Nicholson here." "Had you looked at a girl the way you're looking at that car... you'd have got married!" "Anyway, these are picnic photographs." "Have a look." "Later." " Go ahead." "They are very nice." "Hello!" "No doubt she is a beauty." "You fix with her and I'll fix up with her sister!" "Can you get married to a car?" "I can." "How long will you wait for him?" " Till he comes." "To each his own." "It's boring to wait." "That too, with an empty plate!" "I can't wait." "Shall I serve the dinner?" "Pooja has been waiting for you." "Tell her not to wait henceforth." "I've already had my dinner." "Come dear, you have your food." "He's had his." "I'm not hungry." "How can you be?" "You've stuffed yourself with all that "waiting"." "I didn't expect such stupidity from you." "Of course, I also didn't like they way he said it, but..." "What's the matter with him today?" "Daija will scold him today." "You should have taken her feelings into consideration." "How many people's feelings do I take into consideration?" "Why are you treating her as your punching bag?" "He's not angry with me, is he?" "No." "It's not like that." "He's not the kind to get angry." "Does Anita love him very much?" "Yes." " And what about him?" "I don't think so." "I don't feel like that." "Are you sure?" "About what?" "That he doesn't love Anita?" "He usually keeps his feelings to himself." "Nobody knows better than he himself." "Then that's a great loss." "Love has no business acumen, thus, it never thinks of gains and losses." "That's why most love stories end in tragedy." "I think your love story ended in a tragedy too." "My Love story has been written by some poet in two lines." "'Let those who can, enjoy the joys of love... '" "'Forget me, I've left it to my destiny.'" "Does it take years to express what's deep in your heart?" "Let me give you a sound advise." "When one falls in love, one should express it at once." "At the most, it will be refuted, but at least it'll be off your mind." "One should never suppress one's feelings when in love." "One should come clean." "I mean it Pooja!" "I mean it!" ""In the journey of life people meet to separate."" "Good morning, partner!" " Good morning." "Mood bad!" " No!" "No!" "I am ok." "A Okay!" "' re You also going?" "If you don't want me to, I won't." "I'll bunk it." "It's ok." " Okay." "Just drop me off somewhere." "I'll do some window-shopping." "On one condition." " What?" "You'll have to shop windows for me." "I'll change and come." "She is on the right track." "Now what about you." "Hi Pooja!" " Hi Anita!" "Are you buying a sweater?" "It'll go very well on Prem." "I'm buying it for Viren, actually." "Really?" "But he never wears such bright color." "But I like them and I want to buy him something of my choice." "Excuse me." "I'll pay cash please." " Sure ma'am." "Thank you." "How about some coffee?" "Why not!" " Okay," "How's Daija?" " Very fine." "You're very attached to her aren't you?" "Who else do I have except her in life?" "Why are you so emotional?" "Because I'm Indian." "Had you been not exposed to the culture here, you'd be too." "Why do you always seem so irritated by me?" "Not at all." "Tell me, how do you look at Viren?" "As I should." "That means you respect and adore him." "He's not a God for me to worship him." "He has looked after you..." "On the contrary, Daija has reared me." "Yes, I did stay in his mansion." "But he didn't rear me." "There's a lot of difference in taking care of, and just caring." "Anyway there's a difference between, how we both feel about him." "Well, that's very hard to say for we both don't know ...our feelings for him." "I've been in love with him for the last 5 years." "But I've been loving him, since I was 5 years old." "No." "You're a liability and a trouble to him and that's all you'll remain." "If you say so, at least I'm something to him." "But what are you to him?" "I'll go now." "Thanks for the ice-cream." "Wait for a while." "No, I've to go." " What's the hurry?" "I've to make him wear this." "Just try it, and if he refuses, you'll come to know yourself." "And suppose I make him wear it, will you come to know too?" "He doesn't love you." "And does he love you?" "Who is it?" " May I come in?" "Please come in." "What's that you have there?" "You've given me so many gifts." "Thought I'd give you one too." "Why the formality?" "Does that mean all those gifts to me were out of formality?" "Okay." "Tell me what's in that?" "First take your words back about the formality." "Okay, I take it back." "Here take this." "But what is it?" " Look yourself." "I can't wear this." "But thanks anyway." "Don't worry." "I'll have it changed by Anita." "Even I can change, but I don't want to." "She was saying the same thing." "She said you won't like it." "She knows my choice." "But where did you meet her?" "The same shop where I bought this." "She stopped you from buying, yet you went ahead?" "Yes, because why should I buy her choice for you?" "If you don't want to wear it, just chuck it." "Pooja..." "If I wear this, will you listen to me?" "That I'll do, even if you don't wear it." "Come and sit." "Happy!" " Yes." "You look in it a new person." "How I wish Anita was here!" "Nothing!" "Just see this photograph." "Why?" "See it" " But why?" "Pooja, you're grown up now." "And when a girl grows up..." " Then what?" "Daija wishes to find a suitable boy and get you married." "And what do you wish?" "I wish to see you married too." "That's why I was showing you the photo." "His father is in the shipping." "They are decent." "You'll be happy there." "Why are you telling me all this?" "There are only 2 ways to get married." "Either you accept our choice or you tell us your choice..." "We will get you married to him." "Promise?" " Of course." "Is he in India?" "No, from London." "Good." "Since when do you know him?" "Since my childhood." "Please call back later." "Don't be childish." "But you just said that I've grown up." "Shut up!" "You are now going back on your word." "Stop it." "I can't stop now." "When I was 5, I had told Daija of my choice." "You are crossing your limits now." "That's just what I mean." "I'm already way ahead." "Pooja." " If you wanted me to be quiet, why did you ask me my choice?" "But since you've asked me, you'll have to hear." "Stop right there." "Don't interrupt me." "I'll tell you the name of the man I love." "And that boy... is you" "It's you, Kunwarji." "It's you." "Anita." "I want to marry you." "Say that again." " I want to marry you." "I love you, Viren!" "You're not marrying, you're just running away." "Who from?" " Pooja." "What nonsense!" " Then why does she feign headaches?" "Why does she go to sleep before we return." "Why does she avoid us at breakfast and also at dinners?" "May I know what you've said to her, for her to stop smiling." "What can I say to her?" "In fact, she said to me." "She?" " Yes." "What did she say?" "She said something which was very embarrassing." "So, her love for you is embarrassing?" "She said she loved you, so you ran to Anita and proposed." "What matured thinking!" "Congratulations!" "Viren Pratap Singh." "Are you blind?" "What's wrong with you?" "See the difference in our ages." "I have seen that and I've also seen the difference between you and Pallavi." "You go away." "Do not spoil my mood." "One more thing." "You and knock at Pooja's door and give her the good news." "That you are getting married to Anita." "Or do I do it?" "No." "That's my business." "And I'll do it myself." "I'm marrying Anita." "Excuse me." "I'd only heard of stone-hearted men." "I have seen one today." "Cry, my dear..." "Go ahead and cry." "Take me back." "Take me back." "Okay, dear." "We'll go back." "We will go back." "'Respected Kunwarji.'"

"But love has never bothered with it." "Someone has to be younger than the other." "Please don't be afraid to say that you love me." "I don't." " You don't?" "No, I don't." "Really?"

"Did you write these letters?" "Go on, tell me." "No." "They are not yours." "They are your mother's!" "You..." "You loved my mother?" "That means you always saw my mother in me." "You used to remember your past seeing me." "When I used to laugh, you used to hear her laugh." "Now I understand, why you always avoided meeting me." "My birthday falls on may Mother's death Anniversary." "You used to come for that, but my birthday was just a duty to you." "I was never a living thing to you, but just a memory of someone." "I can take on the whole world for you, but I can't fight a shadow." "You may have loved my mother." "But she loved only one man." "And that was Siddharth Bhatnagar, who was my father." "You're very right." "There's a lot of difference between them and me." "You've spent 20 years of your life, loving a woman, who never loved you." "And I'll spend all my life, loving a man... who doesn't love me." "Mr. Mukhtar..." "This is Viren here." "I'm all right." "Mr. Mukhtar..." "Daija and Pooja will arrive in Delhi by the Air India flight today." "Yes, be at the airport with two cars." "And do call me the moment they arrive." "Yes." "They are about to leave." "Ok." "Thank you for everything, Kunwarji." "Look after Pooja, Daija." " You take care too." "Let me know when you fix a date for the wedding." "You will come, won't you?" " I'll try to make it." "I can understand, Daija." "But please do come back." "I feel so very lonely without you." "And I'm not myself without you, son." "Neither complete nor incomplete." "I'm the midwife who forgot she's a midwife." "I have come to be your mother." "And I see dreams for you... something a midwife must never do." "Why must you say such things?" "Will you stay back, if I ask you to?" "Will you stop." "Tl')!" "saying it..." "Let me know of your arrival the moment you reach there." "Let's leave." "Or we'll miss the flight." "Live long." "Aren't you coming?" "No, you see them off." "Look after Viren." "Do not bear a grudge against him for my sake." "You didn't attend office today." " I wasn't in the mood." "Good night!" " Prem!" "I've got to talk to you." "Sit down." "I've been thinking..." " What about?" "In general." " What have you decided then?" "We have been friends for a very long time, Prem." "I see." "Anita must've told you." "She can't keep anything to herself." "Anyway, carry on." "$0?" "I feel as if I've been taking undue advantage of our relationship." "Go on." "I'm listening." "You have your folks in Delhi." "And a house too." "Your parents and your siblings..." "your roots are there." "You are right." "You have given me 18 years of your life." "Have I nothing to give you in return?" "Why not?" "You can thank me and come to the point." "You can thank me and come to the point." "I want to hear you say it, Viren." "Please, prem." "Try to understand." " No!" "I'm not worthy of your friendship and favours, Prem." "Correct." "I'm not worth someone ruining his life for me." "Correct." "Go away, Prem." "Go and make your own life." "You owe something to yourself, don't you?" "In any case, I don't need to cry on your shoulders." "I'm doing it in solitude anyway." "Who do you think you are?" "God Almighty?" "D'you think you can change people's lives at your whims?" "You couldn't tell Pallavi that you love her... that isn't my fault!" "Prem!" " Shut up and listen." "That Pallavi loved Siddharth, wasn't Daija's mistake, was it?" "You have withdrawn in a shell and taken solace in Anita." "And you bloody well know that you don't love Anita." "You are afraid of falling in love." "You're a bloody coward!" "Prem." " Return every moment to me that we have spent in our friendship!" "You deserve neither my friendship nor Pooja's love!" "You're a smoldering fire..." "anyone who touches you will be burnt!" "So what I am to do?" "Try and speak the truth!" "You have lied to me all your life." "But try facing the truth." "Look within!" "It's Pooja who has made a place in your heart, not Pallavi!" "What rubbish!" "Pooja is Pallavi's daughter!" "Not true!" "She's also Siddharth Bhatnagar's daughter!" "How was Pallavi related to you?" "She wasn't." "Your love was one-sided." "So stop this game of hide-n-seek." "It's not a solo sport!" "And if you must, at least change your style!" "For how will you live in hiding?" "Hiding behind Pallavi and Anita and yourself." "Come out of the cocoon and search." "Search for whom?" " The one who's not Pallavi!" "You must understand the difference between Pooja and Pallavi." "Pallavi didn't ever love you." "And Pooja knows nothing except her love for you." "You must understand the difference, Viren Pratap Singh!" "You must!" "What's the matter?" "Nothing." " Nothing." "We've been here 2 months now." "But you've left your laughter behind." "No, my dear." "You go back to London and get back your cheerfulness from him." "If he stops you from returning, tell him you can't leave me alone." "She may not be mine, But I've brought her up." "You dare such a thing again!" "You're as much a stranger to me, as Viren is." "I'm neither your mother, nor his." "Maybe that's why you both have a right to hurt me." "I don't want to do that, Daija." "But see how ironic life is." "I want to see you and him happy, but I've become a bane to you both." "Is there a way by which I can make you both happy?" "Yes, my dear." " How?" "By getting married." "Daija." "As long as you don't marry, he'll never forgive himself." "Is that all?" "Why didn't you say it?" "I'll do anything for his happiness." "Bless you, dear." "But on one condition..." " What?" "That he marries first." "He is elder to me, after all." "And he has admitted to me already." "Okay." "I'll phone Viren today." "Hello!" " Hello!" "Viren!" " Daija!" "How are you?" " How will I be?" "And Pooja?" "She is ready to get married." "Viren..." "Viren..." " Yes, Daija." "What's the matter?" "Is she really willing to get married?" "Yes, but on one condition." "That you marry before her." "My marriage?" "Yes, if you wish to marry Anita, do so." "So that I'll be free of Pooja's condition." "Give my love to Anita and send us an invitation." "I'll be happy with that." "Cards will be sent on your name." "I've nobody else of family anyway." "Bless you." "What are you doing?" " I'm trying to convince you." "I hope you are convinced now that I belong only to you." "Shut your eyes." " What for?" "Didn't you say you saw Pallavi every time you shut your eyes?" "Close your eyes..." "Was it Pallavi again?" " No." "Oh Viren, I am so happy!" "Daija..." "Congratulations!" "They must be married by now." "Anita really loves him, doesn't she?" "I'm very happy now." "Hello!" " Daija!" "Viren..." " Yes, Daija!" "I had promised you I'd phone you after the wedding." "All went off well, I hope." " Yes." "May God keep you both happy." "You'll come now, won't you?" "Yes, I will, the moment Pooja gets married." "I'll wait for you." " Okay." "Okay, Daija, bye!" "Well, he has kept his promise." "I'll go and fix with the boy's parents." "I'll not marry." "Pooja." "And if I'm in your way to go to London..." "I'll commit suicide to make way for you." "But I will not marry." "But you had promised me." "Can't I do even this much, for his happiness?" "What will I tell him if he comes?" "There'll be no need to tell him." "He'll understand it on his own." "What of your future, dear?" "Till now I was thinking about him." "Now I'll think about myself." "I've a whole lifetime to think now." "I'll go now." "Coffee!" " Thank you." "What are you thinking of?" " Daija." "Don't know why, but she's avoiding coming here." "Keeps postponing it." "Maybe she wants you to get her here personally." "I think Prem is right." "Will you come?" " I am..." "I'll come with you." "It's been ages since I visited India." "I'll phone her." " No, don't" "If we surprise her, it'll be something great." "That's true." "Now let's get out of here." "Come on." "Daija." "We are here." "You two!" "How come all of a sudden?" "I don't know about him." "But I missed you." "So here I am." "Get up." "Get up." " Daija!" " Prem, be happy." "No, I won't." "Because till he's happy, I can never be." "That's my eternal vow because in..." " That's enough." "Enough." "Just tell me, why isn't Anita with you?" "We've planned to kidnap you to London." "So, hurry up and start packing." "I'm asking why didn't you bring Anita?" "She also keeps on asking, why don't you get Daija?" "How can I come?" " That's your problem." "You can sail or fly..." "We can discuss this later." "We've come to take you from here." "Come on." " Come on." "And what about Pooja?" " Why, what's her problem?" "The same as before." "Dija." "Why are you looking at them like that?" "If she refused to marry, what could I do?" "She didn't marry?" "But you said she had this one condition." "Where is she?" "By the time Rana arrived, it was all over." "The moon was in the skies;" "lonely and sad." "Rana looked at the sad moon... and eventually disappeared in the lifeless moonlight." "This is how, perhaps, every love story must end." "There are bodies everywhere; but not the same souls." "What remains are memories of the moments spent in love." "And these are the memories that take the form of a love story." "Pooja." "Pooja." "Pooja, Wait." "What are you staring for?" "It's me." "How are you?" "I'm fine." "Are you happy?" "Yes." " Very happy?" "I don't measure my happiness." "How is your husband?" " He's nice." "When you will introduce him to me?" "One of these days." "Why be so vague?" "Why not today itself?" "Today he's not here." " Don't lie!" "What have I lied about?" "You lied that you'll introduce us." "How can you, when you're not married?" "Aren't you ashamed?" "Don't ever dare to speak to me again." " Pooja!" "Who are you to question me?" "I lie or tell the truth, it's my life." "And when I spoke the truth, you did not believe me." "And today you're angry about my lying to you." "I'm not a shadow to be insensitive." "You're ever stepping the limits." " Love and truth know no limits." "I lied to you because you don't have the guts to hear the truth." "And suppose I'd have believed the lie?" "So what's the big deal?" "If I'd believed it to be true then I'd have probably married Anita by now." "Didn't you?" "I've answered your question already." "But that invitation..." "You could lie so blatantly?" " Do you think only you can lie?" "And what of Anita?" "She's a very good friend of mine." "And will always be so." "But I've never loved her." "Then whom have you loved?" "You." "Me?" "Or my face?" "Your face is not somebody else's." "It's your own." "Your laughter is your own." "And so are your eyes." "And the luster in them is only yours too..." "Your scent is not mixed with anybody else's, Pooja." "You're not a portrait of somebody else." "You are you." "And only you." "You belong to me." "I'm saying this for the first time in my life." "I love you." "I love you Pooja."
