"I hope you all have recovered from the shock of the accident?" "Yes." ""Then let's talk business, okay?"" "Your sister and your brother-in-law got this will made... which I want you to understand." "Your brother-in-law owned a house and a factory of readymade garments." "It goes to his three children after his death." "Now since the children are still not old enough... you'll have to take care of this property." "And till such time as the children come of age... you will have to handle the entire business." ""But how will I do all this, Sir?"" "You know very well that I've left my studies behind." "I haven't even got to know the children well." "How will I handle this?" " Don't worry about that."

""Just as the father's talented, the daughter's beautiful, too."" ""Why are you standing so far away?" "Come here, closer to me."" "Can't you speak without using your hands?" "The programme is over!" "Your daughter is very jovial." ""Are you an artist, too, dear?"" "Yes." "I've learnt Karate." ""Come with me, Vyjayanti!"" "What did you say to him?" "!"

"You'd discover the ~difference' when you meet me alone." "I'll be off now; see you soon!" " How will we meet?" "Give me your address or your telephone number." "I can't remember the telephone number." "Where was the need to give her the telephone number?" ""She's an old friend, right?" " Shut up!"" "Go in now." ""So I'm leaving, then."" "Here is he." " Is he the one?" "I'm sorry for the delay." "I had to drop the children at school." "That's okay..." "let me introduce you to Mr Mishra." "That will be enough." "But you can call me ~B.P.'"

"Then how did you come out from the bathroom?"" "What?" "!" "But I was already in the bathroom." "Oh God!" "Where do I hide now?" "Why did you rush into the kitchen like this?" "I thought I must help you." "Keep the stuff for the tea ready." "And keep the plates outside." "I'll prepare the breakfast." "What's happening to this country!" "Where's the tea-powder?" " Should be in the cupboard." "Keep all this on the table and help Sunny get ready." ""Breakfast, guys."" "Here's the omelette for you two." "And here's your boiled-egg... the milk's still hot." "Be careful how you drink it." ""Where's my toast?" " You didn't even take it, uncle."" "You're beginning to be very forgetful." "I had certainly taken an egg!" "And where has that disappeared?" "You just ate it up!" "You've forgotten it again!" ""Don't forget to see a doctor this evening, uncle!"" "I understand everything." "Hurry up and eat." "You've got to go to school." ""How will I go to school, uncle?" "I've got fever."" ""Fever, eh?" "Your body-temperature's normal."" "It's very typical of the fever he gets." ""His body temperature appears normal." "But he's hot, within."" "I see." "I'll get the thermometer and see how much of a temperature you're running." ""You think your uncle's a fool, eh?"" ""How's the egg?" "There's milk, too!"

"And don't you dare step out of the house." "Get it?" ""Please come in, Mr Mishra."" "Mr Bignani's export-house had placed an order with us for one lakh shirts." "How far have we got with it?" ""As you know, Sir, I've been trained in Japan for 4 years."" "I've used the experience I got there in the production here." ""As you know, every part in Japan is made in different sections."" "Everything is then put together to make the finished product." ""I've applied the same technique here!" "But as you know, this is India..."" ""and since we're Indians, we don't have different departments."" ""So, I've used a fantastic idea!"" "What I thought was that..." ""I'd first make one part of the shirt, the second and so on..."" "and then put them all together!" "But Mr Rahul... the thing is that we're running into problems." ""What are the problems?" " Actually, we've first prepared..."" "one lakh collars!" " What?" "!" "One lakh collars are ready!" " And now?" ""Now...?" "Now, we've run out of money and there's no more cloth left too..."" "Which means we can't do anything more till we get money and cloth?" "Correct!" "You're very wise and intelligent!" "But you're a donkey and a fool of the first order!" "I'll go to the factory." " Don't you dare go to the factory!" "Sit down here!" "I can't believe this!" "On the one hand are the children." "And here I have..." "You do something." "Go to my house and look after the three kids there." "And carry something to eat for them on the way." ""Have you understood me?" " Yes, sir."" ""Are you sure?" " Ofcourse, I understand..."" "I'll take care." "What are three children where I handle so many!" "When I was in Japan..." " Shut up!" "Quiet!" "I don't want any mention of Japan!"

""But from today, I have taken total charge of this factory."" ""Henceforth, you and I will execute this job together."" ""If you are with us, I am prepared to do anything."" ""And..." "I am also willing, smart boy!"" "I mean... we have to run the factory with hard work and honesty." "If we work holding each other's hands..." "Then it would be fun holding hands." "I didn't mean that." "I meant to say that..." "You have our lives at your disposal." " I don't want your life." "I want shirts." ""Then take our heart." " Not heart, I want shirts."" ""What's a shirt, after all?" "Everything belongs to you."" "Here they are!" "Uncle's clothes." "Wear any you want." "Would you want to wear this?" "Wear it." "It's nice." "No... not this one." "There's this one too!" "Do you want this?" "This is the top..." "and this is the pyjama." "No!" "It's the other way around." "Never mind." "Shall I wear this?" "I'll use the other clothes later." "Hurry up and rearrange everything." "Uncle will know." ""Who is it?" " Speaks from the window, eh?"" "Your uncle's sent me..." ""for your ~after-Iook'." "I mean, to look after you."" "The name is B.P. Mishra." "I've been trained in Japan." ""I've got some fantastic food!" "You take some, too!"" "I forgot your water." "I'll go and get it." "Food?" "!" "Wow!" "It's very good;" "who brought it?" "I brought it." " You did?" "You've brought it?" "Mr Rahul said there were 3 children." "But there are four here." "Maybe I made a mistake in hearing." ""That's the one." " That one, right?" "Thank you."" "What is it?" " Is this Mr Chopra's residence?" "This is Mr Rahul Malhotra's home." " But we were told... this was Mr Chopra's house." " Tell me what is this regarding." "My daughter's missing..." "Her name's Vyjayanti." "Someone told me that she was... seen yesterday with Mr Chopra's children." "That is what has brought me here." " You are absolutely wrong." ""To begin with, this is Mr Malhotra's house, and not Mr Chopra's..."" ""and then, there are four children here." "Not three!"" "What had the police come here for?" " They came to enquire... about the house where 3 children stay but I told them that... we have four children staying here." " What?" ""Mr Mishra, you're not only a fool, but a first-rate liar too!"" "We have three children here." "Not four." ""What did you say, Mr Rahul?" "!"" ""I might be an idiot, I might be a fool..."" "but I'm certainly not a liar!" "Go away now and meet me at the factory tomorrow." ""I'll leave, but I'm not a liar."" ""I can swear by God, I'm not a liar!"" "How can you say you have three children when you have four?" "!"

"Who messed around with my clothes?" " How should I know?" ""Oh yes, Mr Mishra went into your room."" ""Yes, uncle, he was taking a look at your clothes." "Right, Sunny?"" "That bloody Mishra..." "how dare he touch my cupboard!" "How did a girl's dress land up in my room?" "This was exactly what I wanted to ask you... how did a girl's dress landed up in your room?" "What?" "!" "Shut up!" "Insolent idiot!" "Who is it?" "Just a minute..." "Uncle!" "What is it?" " It's a girl on the line!" "A girl?" " Can I ask if it's her dress?" "You escaped the other day;" "But you must come at least today." ""I'll introduce you to my father too." "You'll come, won't you?"" ""You see, Maya..." " What is it?"" "I can't come now;" "I've a lot of work." "You're working through the days and the nights!" "Come on... get down!" " What did you say?" "It wasn't to you!" " You will have to come." "But I can't come right now." ""If you don't come here, I'm coming over!"" "Let's eat and go to bed early today." " So early?" "You said we'd have to study first." " Not today!" "I'm tired." "You can do the lessons tomorrow." ""Hurry up, Rahul!" "Sleep before she gets here."" ""O God, save me from the trouble!"" "It's only 8 p.m. And there are no lights in the house!"

""But you're smart." "You put them to sleep, before I could get here!"" ""I'll show you the four kids, Mr Rahul!"" "I'll wash away the stigma attached to me!" ""Now look, Maya..." "don't you think it's very late?"" "The night's only just begun..." ""with the two of us, so close together!"" "Oh no!" "We're closer than necessary!" "Thief!" "Thief!" "Thief!" "Thief!" "Hurry!" "In the kitchen!" "I am not a thief!" "I am Mishra!" ""Hurry, I will hide." "No, you hide... hurry up!"" ""And till I don't return, don't open the door."" "Now where's the thief?" "Where's the thief?" "I should run away!" ""Do you see my condition, Mr Rahul?"" "They beat me up!" "They called me a thief!" "What are you doing here?" "I came to prove to you that I'm not a liar!" ""And that there are four kids, not three!" "See for yourself."" "These three are my kids." "And that..." "This is the fourth one!" "Who are you?" "And what are you doing here?" "I..." "I..."

"Okay, I will..."" ""I was only six years old, as old as Sunny now is..."" "when my mother passed away." "You perhaps don't know what it is to lose your mother at such an age." "Oh yes." "We know that." "My father got married again..." "and brought home a step-mother." ""She used to make me slog through the day, uncle!"" ""I used to do all the household work, while she..."" "But she..." " Who?" "My step-mother!" "She wanted me to get married to an old man!" "What could my poor father say?" "He too agreed." "But I ran away from home." "I left my home!" "Now look..." "Listen... don't cry." "Look here at me!" "These little angels brought me here." "They gave me shelter here for two days." "But you can drive me out on the streets now!"

""I'll leave in the morning, if you insist."" ""There's no need to do that, if you're prepared to work here."" ""Yes, sister!" "Stay on!" " What work will I have to do?"" "You'll have to look after the kids and cook." "I'll give you..." ""Rs. 200/- a month, besides your food." "Will that do?"" "Oh yes!" "It will do!" "Come here."

"I'm a bit suspicious." "Take a look." "Perhaps it's ready." "You've opened the refrigerator again!" "Tell us whether the ice-cream we've made is ready or not!" "How will it be if you keep opening the refrigerator again and again?" ""It'll all melt." "So, wait for sometime."" "Look what I've brought for you!" "Come quickly!" "Hurry up!" "That's good." ""This is for Munni, this for Vicky and this for Sunny."" "I have plenty of frocks." "Why didn't you bring a doll?" ""Read these books yourself, uncle."" "You could have brought some musical instrument." "Uncle!" "I am not a kid that you brought a game of Monopoly for me!" "You could have brought a football or a season ball." ""Come on, Sunny!"" ""Here, this is for you."" "You too may express displeasure upon seeing it." "For me?" "It's very..." "It's very pretty." ""You too come, sister." "Look, the ice-cream is ready." "Come!"" ""Wow!" "It's ready!" " Here, eat it."" "But we won't give it to uncle." "He brought such stupid gifts for us." "Why don't you eat?" " How is the ice-cream?" "Gosh!" "It's such a tasteless ice-cream." "It's no good." "We made it with so much of hard work." "And you call it no good?" "So what?" "I didn't like it." "I called it no good." "We made it so lovingly." ""Even if you had lied that you have liked it, we would have been happy."" ""If you are all so intelligent, why did you hurt uncle?"" "Even if you didn't like the gift... couldn't you have lied that the gift is a nice one?" ""What say, Munni?"" "You...!" "You are still wearing my dress!" "Go and wear the frock that I have brought for you." "And don't you wear my clothes henceforth." "Understand?" "And tomorrow... we will all go on a picnic!" "Come and sit down!" ""To begin with, I gave you an advance of Rs. 5 lakhs and cloth, too..."" "and now you ask for more money and raw material?" "!" ""Yes, Sir." " Now look..."" ""I'm a businessman, not a crazy old fool." "Understand?"" "Have you seen this contract?" "Your late brother-in-law signed it." ""According to the contract, if you fail to deliver within 15 days..."" "I can bring you out on the streets!" "I can even have your house and factory auctioned!" ""That's true, Sir."" "Then what are you sitting here for?" "Go and get to work!" "Return my money to me..." "Get up and leave." "Go!" ""But how will I complete this work in 15 days, Sir?"" "That's not my problem!" "It's your headache!" "Now leave!" "Now that was a good deal indeed!" "Even his factory will be mine!" ""Today's my lucky day." "Had I asked for something more, perhaps I..."" ""Now look, Maya..." "I'm very upset right now."" "That man's made life difficult for me." "I don't know what to do!" "Who is that who has made my darling's life miserable?" ""It's that old, fat, rascal..." "Bignani, who sits on the 4th floor."" "You can consider your problems solved." "Why?" "Do you know him?" " How are you concerned?" "What I do and how I do it is my look-out." "What will you give me in return?" " Anything." "Just rid me of Bignani and I'll give you anything." ""Then go home and relax, handsome..."" "because your worries are now my own worries." "My darling daughter!" "The apple of my eye!" "Tell me what you want on your birthday this year." "You guess what I'd like." "Do you want a new car?" "A Maruti1000?" " No." ""A diamond-set?" " Not that, either."" "A holiday in America!" " Oh no!" "Then what do you want?" " Guess..." "Oh yes!" "You're in love and want to get married!" "You've made the right guess!" " Won't you tell me who it is?" "The same chap who just left this place." "His name's Rahul..." ""I like him very much..." "Please don't harass him, Papa."" "That's no problem at all." "You can consider your work done..." "I have him under my obligations anyway." "He'll do as I say..." "Or I'll swallow his factory!" "I'll bring him on the streets!" ""No, don't do that..."" "don't harass him anymore." "I'll make him dance to my tunes now." ""How can you escape from me now, Rahul?"" "You will now have to marry me." ""May I ask you something, sir?" " What is it?"" "If Vyjayanti's temper has cooled ...can we prepare for the wedding?" "It takes time for her temper to cool!" "Whose daughter is she?" ""Ofcourse, she's your daughter, sir!"" "That will be enough!" "Take your seat!" "Stop pestering me!" "We'll prepare for your wedding when the time comes." ""Till then, get on with your practice."" ""Welcome, Mr Bignani." "You should've called me instead." "I would've come."" ""You're a busy man, you run such a big factory..."" "why should I waste your time?" "Not at all..." "Please sit down." "What can I do for you?" " I'll do something for you." ""After you left the other day, I thought you were a nice man..."" "you must be given a second chance." ""If I don't help you in your difficulties, who else will?"" "Look at this..." "I've brought you a cheque of Rs. 15 lakhs." ""Begin your work now, in the name of God!"" "There's no need to thank me." ""Let's sign the new documents, for the new payment I've made."" "Yes..." " It's a simple document." "What are you reading it for?" "It's just like the old contract." "If you fail to deliver on time..." "I can auction your property to recover my dues." "Your brother-in-law too had signed the same contract." ""In fact, I've given you a month's time to deliver!"" "Go ahead and sign it." "That's like a businessman!" ""Start your work now, in the name of God!"" ""Oh sure, Sir..." " I'll leave..."" "what you getting up for?" "Please sit down!" "Good-bye!" ""Hats off, Maya!" "You worked wonders!"" ""I wonder what you did on that old man, he's turned a new leaf!"" "It didn't seem like that old rascal who was thirsting for my blood!" "Wait and watch..." "as to what all I can change." "What I don't understand is..." ""how did that tight-fisted, grumpy, old scoundrel..."" "idiotic Bignani..." "Please don't call him names." ""Why?" "He's not your father, is he?"" "The bloody..." ""okay, I won't call him names." "I'll do as you say." "Is that fine?"" ""Look, I am going to dive!"" ""No, not from there." "That's meant for the elders."" "Dive from here only!" " Let me dive from there." "I know how to dive!" " No!" "You will get hurt." "Please... nothing will happen." "Please let me dive from there." "Don't be stubborn." "You are still a kid." "You can't dive from there." ""Come on, come inside."" "No!" "That's Vicky's Pepsi." "Give it here." "Nobody will drink it." "Pass over the milk shake." "Where's Vicky?" " He's gone to change the dress." "Whose sandwich is this?" ""Move away, please."" ""You are all right, I suppose."" "What a strange man you are!" ""If you cannot care for the children, why do you give them birth?"" ""If anything were to happen to him, we would have had it."" ""Come on, Vicky." "Let's go home."" "How much is it?" "It's nominal." " Let me see..." "Did you see the consequence of being stubborn?" "I had warned you not to dive from up there." ""But no, you want to act whimsically!"" "What if that life-guard had not been there?" "I would have died." "What else?" "Go to your room." ""Look, Vicky... weeping and being angry won't help matters."" "So don't weep." "Your uncle loves you very much." "That's why he's so concerned about you." "I am not a kid." "I can take care of myself." "I am always treated like a small child." "He should have let me die!" "I don't want to live." ""No, don't say so." "Don't..."" "Calm down..." "Have the children gone to sleep?" " Yes." "What should I do?" "I don't understand." "I have lost." "I have lost." "And I am like a losing player who cannot even abandon the grounds." ""What should I do, sister?" "What should I do?"" "What do you think?" ""That by scolding like this, by screaming like this..."" "the children will understand your point?" "You mean I should listen to their every fancy?" "No... not at all." ""But sometimes, to make the children understand..."" "one has to become a child oneself." "The children are ignorant." "They don't understand." "You will have to understand them." "Vicky is growing big now." "He doesn't like it when you treat him like a kid." "He is going through that delicate age." ""Now just think, when you were a kid, did you like it when..."" ""If you weren't around, how would I have taken care of these kids?"" ""Uncle, let's go to sleep." "I am feeling scared alone."" "You proceed." "Wait..." "I will come." "Let's go." ""Your kite's flying beautifully..." "Give it to me, please!"" "Get lost!" " Give it to me!" ""Flying kites?" "I was good at it, too."" ""It's not good enough." "Give it some more thread, Vicky."" ""You'll teach me this, too?" "I can't do anything, right?"" ""I know nothing, do I?"" ""Come, Sunny..." "Let's fly our own kite."" "You don't know I'm an expert at it." "I was the ~Master'!" "You first take the kite..." "keep it on the head like this." "And bend it..." "That's alright..." "Let's take another kite." "Here's the kite... and you tie the thread now." ""When I flew a kite, nobody could ever compete with me!"" "Come on now..." "Hold this..." "They've flown away!" " Look at this." "I'll show you." "Hey!" "It's not flying!" ""There's something wrong with it." " Hold this for a while, Munni."" ""Give it to me, Uncle." "And stand there with the kite."" "How do I hold it?" " Like this." "Now stand there." "Over there..." "Now release it..." " Like this?" "Should I?" " Yes... release it!" ""Here you are." " Give it some thread, Sunny."" ""Give it to me now, Munni."" ""Hey!" "Hey!" " Watch out, uncle!"" ""It's stuck, Vicky!" " Let me hold it."" "He can't fly it..." "can only make it stick somewhere!" "It's snapped!" "It's gone!" " So what?" "Get him another kite." ""You're good at flying kites, Vicky."" "How do you tie the knot?" "It's raining!" " Run!" "It's pouring!" "Uncle!" " Strange children!" "You've run away like old men!" "The first rain must always be enjoyed!" "Come on!" "Come on!" " Uncle seems to have reformed!" "It's nice that your business is doing well." "How often have I told you to bring something to munch with the tea?" "Get lost now!" "Do you know this man who just served us the tea?" "He used to be the proprietor of a garment-factory like you are." "I used to work for him." "But he could never do business... and is my servant now." "The one principle of business is that the opportunities you get... should never be lost." "Or you end up being like him." ""I'm trying to learn from you, sir."" "It's only because of you that my factory's functioning again." ""Today's a lucky day for you, Rahul..."" "Do you know how?" " How is that?" ""Now look, I swear upon God..."" "I was going to ruin you." "I was about to bring you on the streets." ""But I didn't do that." " It's your magnanimity, sir."" "No... not at all!" ""After you left the other day, my daughter arrived!"" "Daughter?" " Maya... my only daughter!" "She told me that you have been old friends." ""I know what ~friendship' means, too." "I'm not a fool."" ""It means you approve of each other and are in love, too!"" "It's true that we know each other." "But..." "Why are you feeling shy?" "I approve of my daughter's choice!" "Let's turn our business into a relationship." "I'll get you engaged next Sunday." "Shake hands on that!" "You won't get this opportunity again!" "Did you see that chap who brought us tea?" "When people get to know that you're my son-in-law... you'll get a lot of business." "Your life will be made!" "And do you know why?" "Because everybody knows I can do ~anything' for my daughter's sake." "And what happens of Vyjayanti?" "She loves me." ""And I love her, too." "Isn't that true?"" "Perhaps it's true..." "But I've made no promise to her." "I've never said a word to her." ""I should be thinking about the children's welfare now, not my own."" "I should be thinking about their future." "For their future and happiness... marrying Maya... would be the best thing to do." "Listen... haven't you slept?" "What's the matter?" "Do you need something?" ""No, nothing."" ""No, thank you."" ""I have something to speak to you about, Maya."" ""Since we're getting married, it's important for you to know that..."" "there are three children of my late sister." "They stay with me." "Any girl who marries me... will have to give the children as much love as I do." ""All that appeals to you will appeal to me, too."" "Everything will be as you wish." "Is that fine?" "Yes." "Then come home this evening." "And meet the children." "Can I come at Eight?" " Okay." ""Atleast tell us whom you are expecting, uncle."" "You'd better behave before the guest." "Children... this is Maya..." ""and Maya, this is Vicky..."" "that is Munni." "And this is Sunny." ""And who's that, Rahul?" "Introduce me to her, too."" ""That's Vyjayanti, Maya." "And Vyjayanti, this is Maya."" "Hello." " Hello." "She's...?" "Vyjayanti is the children's governess." ""In other words, she's a maid-servant."" "She's no maid-servant." "She's our sister!" "I'm hungry..." "how about dinner?" "Yes." "I must say..." "the maid cooks rather well." "It's from a restaurant." " Is that so?" "Then what do you do around here?" " She stays with us... because we all like her." "And we don't let the one we don't like stay in this house!" ""Right, Vicky?"" "How often have you been told not to speak while eating?" "Now eat quietly." ""Won't we need someone to cook, after we get married, Rahul?"" "Yes..." "I was about to tell you that..." "I'm getting engaged to Maya and then marrying her." ""How was your dinner-date, dear?"" "Good; but Rahul has three of his sister's children staying there." "I didn't like them." "Will I have to live with that crowd after marriage?" "Why are you getting worried?" ""First get married, after which we'll have them sent to a hostel."" ""Do that, Papa." "Or I'll die of boredom!"" "Don't you worry!" "Have this crisps..." "Move aside." "Let me do it." " No." "It's alright." ""You're angry with me, aren't you?"" "No." "I know I should have told you." "About Maya..." "Why?" "..." "Where's the need to tell me?" ""I'm only the maid-servant, aren't I?"" "I'm going out..." "and will be late." "Feed the children." "The keys." "Won't you ask me where I am going?" "Where?" "I'm getting engaged today." "With Maya." "That's where I'm going." "What's wrong?" "She's crying." " Why are you crying?" "Why are you crying?" " What's that to you?" "Go away from here." " Why should we go away?" ""When we used to cry, you always consoled us."" ""And now, when you're crying, you say we have nothing to do?" "!"" "Your uncle..." "he's getting engaged..." "What does getting ~engaged' mean?" " It means... uncle is getting married to someone." " It's Uncle who's getting married!" "Why is she crying?" " Because she loves uncle." "And wants to marry him." "Isn't it true?" " Yes." "Then what's the problem?" "The problem is that he's getting engaged." "Right now." "Enjoy yourselves!" "Don't forget those delicious ~kebabs'!" "Congratulations to you!" "Excuse me!" "Give me a minute..." ""Come here, Maya..."" "Your attention please." "I am very happy today." ""Because my only daughter, Maya, is getting engaged today."" ""I will now introduce you to my future son-in-law, Rahul..."" ""come here, son." "What are you waiting for?"" "Give him a big hand." ""He's from the same trade..." "A good boy, too!"" "And now my future son-in-law..." ""will put this engagement ring on my pretty daughter, Maya's finger."" ""Here's the ring, Rahul..." "Look at it!" "It's ruby!"" ""Put it on her finger..." "Come here, Maya."" ""Where's the photographer?" "Come here, idiot!" "Click some snaps!"" "Wait!" "This engagement can't take place!" "It can't!" "And who are you?" " We'll tell you that." "This is our mummy and that's our Papa." "He doesn't like our mother and us." "That's the reason why he's getting married again." ""Don't weep, mother, don't weep." " What's all this, Vyjayanti?"" ""That's what I want to know, dear." "Why's all this happening?"" "What mistake have I made?" " What?" "!" "You treated me like a maid-servant in your house." "But I remained silent." "You never called your children your own..." "I even tolerated that." "I've been silent all along." "But I'll no longer be quiet." ""As long as I'm alive, I will not let you marry this wretch!"" ""No, mother!" "Please don't!" " No..."" ""please don't leave us, mother!"" "Atleast please give this poor soul a glass of water." ""Here you are." " No, mother!"" ""No, mother..." " Please don't..."" ""No, mother..." " Please don't drink it, mother!"" ""I'm going away from your life forever, my dear!"" "You can marry this wretch after I'm no more!" ""No, mother..." " Leave me children..."" "Stop this farce!" "And go home!" "We will not leave this place without you." "My dear...!" "What are you doing?" "Leave me!" "Let me go!" "That's enough!" "I said we've had enough!" "You cheated me... and cheated my daughter too!" "I will not spare you!" "Give me my ruby-ring!" "Now get out from here!" "Get lost!" "What are you looking at me for?" "Go home!" "The party is over!" "The drinks and food are all over!" "Go away!" "I can't believe why you did all this!" "There's a limit to mischief!" "Do you know how humiliated I have been because of you?" ""And you, Vyjayanti!" "They're innocent kids..."" "but you could have been sensible." "Why did you have to join them?" "Answer me!" " It's because I love you." "I just can't see you marrying someone else!" "Please don't leave us..." "Please don't go!" "She's leaving..." "Please stop her." "Please!" ""For our sake!" "Please, uncle!"" "What is it?" "Go inside." "I understand!" "I know what you are thinking about." "What is Bignani doing here after last night's mess!" "?" "I'll explain this to you." ""We've made enquiries, too."" "She's not your wife!" "She's your maid-servant!" "Only your maid-servant!" ""And they're not your children, they're your sister's offsprings!"" "Let's bury the past." "You forget everything." ""We'll forget it, too."" ""I even forgive you, because of my daughter."" "But just remember one thing... if the maid now dreams about becoming the mistress... it's a very tricky issue." "A very dangerous one!" "So what if the children are close to her?" "Will she advantage of that?" ""I'm a businessman, I know these things..."" "Take my advice..." ""throw her out of the house, here and now!"" "Throw her out!" "I know everything!" "Come here." "Mr Bignani... this girl is not the maid-servant in this house." "She's a mother to these kids." "She's their elder sister;" "their friend." "Maybe you'll never understand what she means to these children." "As for Vyjayanti leaving the house... listen to what I have to say." "She will continue staying here;" "in this very house." "You'll be the one who will leave the house." "With your daughter." "You've gone mad!" "You're crazy!" "You can do whatever you wish." "Now get out!" "You don't even know what you're saying!" "You've hurt my daughter..." "you've made Maya cry!" ""You still don't know me, Rahul!" "I will not spare you!"" "I will not spare you for anything!" "You don't know the temper I have!" "I'll bring you on the streets!" "I'll finish you!" "I'll drive you bankrupt!" "You dare make my daughter cry?" "!" "I will ruin you!" ""You're laughing?" "!" "Laughing, eh?" "!"" "Have you gone mad?" "And you?" "You servant?" "What are you laughing for?" ""When you beg with him on the streets, we'll laugh at you too!"" "Eggs!" "I will not spare you!" ""I will not spare you, Rahul!"" "You're a sweet guy." ""I liked it a lot, when you asked him to get out!"" ""I like you a lot, for throwing him out!"" "You're very courageous." "You're very lovable..." "I love you!" "What is she saying?" "What I was saying is that..." ""Before you signed this contract with Bignani, did you read it?"" ""I had, but I had no other way then." "I needed money so desperately..."" "that I'd have probably signed even a blank paper!" "You're trapped!" "You really are trapped!" ""According to this contract, if you don't execute..."" "his order of one lakh shirts within 15 days... he'll auction your factory and your house to recover his money!" "But there must be a way out." " There are two ways." "Either execute his order of 1 lakh shirts within 15 days..." "Or return his money with interest." "That's all!" ""We have 24,000 shirts ready in our factory right now."" ""At our normal speed, if we make 1,000 shirts everyday..."" "we still can't make 1 lakh shirts in 15 days." "No matter how hard we try!" ""We will have to try hard, Mr Mishra." "If we work three shifts and day..."" ""and make 5,000 shirts everyday, we can turn out 75,000 shirts in 15 days."" "But who will make the labour work for 24 hours a day?" ""Besides, you know our workers." "You've met them, haven't you?"" ""Apart from this, we'll also need threads, buttons, their food..."" "Who'll pay for all that?" "Tell me." "Which is why I say we must pay back Bignani and terminate the contract." "But who'll give him so much of money?" " Father!" "My father will pay him off." "How much money do you need?" "We're talking business here." "You make the tea." "I know." "How much money is that?" " Lakhs of rupees!" "20 or 30 lakhs is no big deal for my father." "It's simple!" "Really!" " What's she saying?" "!" "Now look; this is no time to lose your balance of mind." "Please go." "Mr Mishra..." " You're not understanding me!" "I'm no servant at all!" "No servant!" "She seems to have gone mad." "Want a doctor?" ""Now look, Vyjayanti..." "I've never considered you to be a servant."" "I never have." "Now go downstairs..." "and see what the kids are upto." "You're not understanding what I've said." "Come with me..." ""Hi, there!" "Where's father?"" "My child!" "You've come at last!" "Father!" " My child!" ""I'm back, father." "But I've given you a lot of trouble!"" ""That's alright, my child!"" "Who's this boy?" "Let's go inside." "I'll explain." "Come in." "Come in." "A cheque for Rs.10 lakhs!" ""Which papers will I have to sign, sir?"" "It's not necessary to sign any papers." ""I always consider the person, before I part with the money."" "I'll return every penny to you." " That's not necessary..." "But there's a condition." "Forget Vyjayanti." "You cannot get married to Vyjayanti." ""But why, father?"" "Because he does not belong to our caste." "You will marry only an Iyer." "Understand?" ""But, father..." " Quiet!"" "You can't marry Vyjayanti." "I came here for your help..." "Not to sell my Love." "My love is not for sale." "Keep this money;" "it's for your own good." "You only can't marry Vyjayanti." "Because she will not be allowed to leave the house." "That's between you and Vyjayanti." ""I'll wait outside, Vyjayanti."" ""Why can't I get married to Rahul, father?"" "What's wrong with him?" " Nothing." "He's a good boy;" "but he's not from our caste." "And you will marry only an Iyer." "Understand?" "How you go on about lyers!" ""If I get married, it will only be Rahul!"" ""If that's the case, you won't get a penny!"" "I don't want your money!" "You can keep it all!" "Working round the clock won't help!" "It's not possible." "We have very little time." ""Moreover, to start our work, we need atleast Rs.60 to 70,000!"" "You tell me where we will get the money from!" "Go on!" "If our workers put in 24 hours a day... we'll have to pay them thrice or four times their wages!" "Today happens to be the salary day too." "Tell me where we will get the money from!" ""Then there is the thread, needles, buttons, raw-materials..."" "the electricity bills." "Where will the money come from?" "Japan?" ""We are destined to be separated, Rahul."" "What she says is the bitter truth." "We have no other option left." "I have something to say to all of you." ""Today is the day of your salary, but I have no money to pay you."" ""In fact, I have something to ask you for today."" "I want your help." "You all know that... we are not being able to execute Mr Bignani's order of 1 lakh shirts." ""If we don't, this workshop will be auctioned."" "There is only one way out of this mess." ""That we work for 16 or 20 hours, instead of the usual 8 hours."" "Every effort that someone puts in will help." "I have no grouse against someone who can't." "I'll pay you thrice the wages for your effort." "But I can't pay you anything today;" "Today I have nothing." "I can pay you only after I have delivered the shirts." ""That is, if you can trust me."" ""I'm finding it strange, too, that as your boss..."" ""instead of giving you something, I'm asking you for your help."" ""I'm looking humbled, aren't I?" "For begging before you?"" ""No, sir..."" "one only looks to his own people when he's in need." ""By asking for our help, you've really honoured us."" "You've considered us to be your own." ""I'll put in 16 hours for you, sir!"" ""I'll work for 20 hours, sir."" ""I'll work, too, sir." " I'm ready, sir."" ""You can count me in, sir." " I, too, sir."" ""We're all with you, sir!"" ""What's this?" " You need money, don't you?"" ""You can pawn this." "Return it to me, later."" ""No, Roshni." "You people have given me what I needed most."" "Your support." "I can take on the world now." ""Could this happen in your Japan, Mr Mishra?"" ""No, sir..."" "this could happen only in our India!" "Keep it inside." "...and close it now." "Take the goods straight to Mr Bignani's office... and take his signature on this paper after you deliver it." "Got it?" "Please don't worry!" "I'll do all that." "We have to worry because Bignani is dying to sell out!" "You don't know him." " I know everything." "Now please let me go!" "Give me the coconut!" "Here it is!" "Come home after you finish with the delivery." "Halt!" "Halt!" ""Hello, Constable!" "What's the matter?"" ""Speak to the officer!" "Come on, get out!"" ""Okay... just a minute." "Will you open it, please?"" ""Greetings, sir." "What's up?"" "We have information that you're carrying contraband in your vehicle." ""What are talking about, sir?" "You've been misinformed!"" "We're only carrying garments..." "Shirts like the one I'm wearing!" "Let me take a look..." " Now look..." "I'm already late." "Please let me go." "Do you want me to lock you up?" "!" " Okay..." "Show him everything." "We don't carry smuggled goods; nothing illegal." "We're garment-manufacturers." ""Look, there are shirts here." "And there, too..."" "Hey!" "Keep it!" "Go on!" ""Be quick." " What's going on, Bignani?"" "An auction!" "Your house and your factory are being auctioned!" "But we've already sent the goods to your office some time back." ""He's lying again, Mr Magistrate!"" "He's ruined me by lying to me for many months now!" ""The consignment has left our factory, Mr Magistrate."" ""By now, it must have even reached his office."" ""When the goods weren't even ready, how could they reach my office?"" ""If you've really sent it, show me the Receipt." "Where is it?"" "Doesn't it take some time to bring the receipt?" ""It's on it's way, sir." " They're making excuses again."" ""From saying he's sent the goods, and the receipt..."" "he'll say the goods were stolen!" ""We've been cheated, Mr Rahul!"" "Some gangsters in the disguise of policemen have cheated me." "They took away the goods with the vehicle we were carrying it in!" ""Stolen, did you say?" "I had already said it!"" "I had told him you'd make an excuse." ""But when the goods were not even ready, how could they be stolen?"" ""I know you're at the bottom of all this, Bignani."" "I am?" "!" "How am I?" "!"

"I'm not trying anything!" "I'm only requesting you to hurry!" "Please send wireless messages..." "A search-party... so that we learn something about the vehicle." "Are you teaching me my job again?" ""No, sir..." " The inspector seems to be corrupt."" "What did you say?" "What were you saying?" "Throw them all out!" "Now sit here quietly." "He's insulting us!" " What's all the fuss about?" "At least tell me what this is all about!" "Our goods have been stolen!" " A theft?" ""That too, in the house of these crazy kids?" "!"" "How could the thief dare to enter their house?" "!" "It didn't happen at home." "It took place on the streets!" "They vanished with a whole tempo-Ioad of our consignment!" "Then what are you doing at the Police Station?" "Come here to me..."

"Get lost from here!" ""Mind you, you are making a mistake." " It's you who is making a mistake."" "These are dangerous crooks." "It's not within your means to fight them." ""She is right." "Let's go back, and fetch the police."" ""Forgive us, gentlemen." "We are returning."" "Mr. Mishra!" "I am taking this tempo." "If any of you tries to stop us..." "I won't be responsible for what follows." "If you move even one step towards the tempo... we won't be responsible for what happens of you thereafter." "Thrash him!" "That's wonderful!" "You were wonderful!" "Looks like you too are Japan-returned like I am!" "Sit quickly in the tempo!" "We have very little time!" "It's 12 'O clock!" "It's already 12!" "Start the auction now!"

"He's a liar, this boy!"" "Why would I have your goods stolen?" ""To have our house auctioned, that's why!"" ""Is your money all over, that you're into stealing now?"" "Have you gone mad?" "Do you think I'd rob a piggy-bank?" ""Is that so?" "Bring him here then, Mr Mishra."" "I will bring him rightaway." "I'll prove it in a minute." "Bring him here!" "Who are you?" " Tell him." ""I'm innocent, sir." "I've done nothing."" "This man had paid us to steal the goods." "You bastard!" "You liar!" "Look at him..." "Why should all of them lie?" "I think you're one who's lying!" "Have you too gone mad?" ""Mr Bignani, this is now a case for the police."" "And they will conduct all the investigations." ""Why are you crying?" "I'm there, aren't I?"" "I'll deal with all of you!" " Get out!" "I'll spare none of you!" " Get lost!" "I'll spare none of you!" " Get lost!" ""Careful, Rahul..." "I'll never spare you!"" "And what are you laughing for?" ""It's an egg, is it?"" "What are you waiting here for?" "Go..." "Get lost!" ""There's no problem in life now, Mr Mishra!"" "But there is a problem." ""Please give your consent, dad."" "Keep your mouth shut!" ""I've returned from Japan, but I still request you..."" "and make a fervent plea." "Please agree!" ""Don't be difficult, Old Pop!" "Give your approval now!"" "It's not good to be obstinate at this age." "Please agree..." "He's a ~sweet' boy..." "Please give your approval." "You too?" "!" ""I beg you with folded hands, sir..." "Please agree.""
