"Your uniform will be auctioned in this very market." "Let's go, mother." "The policemen searched the entire house." "And then they attacked our house." "But what enmity do they have with us?" "The root cause is the one crore which Ajay had won in gambling." "God knows where the money went." "But the attacks are bound to continue in future too." "You wanted to win me over with money earned through gambling?" "." "A house can be ruined by money earned through gambling." "In future, you could put me at stake too." "I'd forgotten that you're big people, while I'm an ordinary person." "Please forgive me." "But the truth is that even if I've to abandon my relationship with you I wouldn't marry at the cost of death of Ajay and his father." "I can sacrifice anything for their sake." "You may deliver this money at Shloka's house." "You won the money through gambling." "But you lost for your relations." "You're the owner of this company." "But you neither treated us nor the money as your own." "Or else, you could've taken as much as wanted without asking for it." "My daughter hasn't experienced poverty."

"Now that he has returned the money, I'm at ease." "Rverything will be fine now." "Ajay has been exposed." "He had tried to create a conflict between politics, police and the trouble-makers." "But we played such a game that we could recover our wealth." "As long as we remain united, democracry will remain alive." "But I don't understand something." "On such occasions, there should be brightness and fireworks all around." "You've surrounded yourself with darkness." "Why so?" "My trust has been betrayed." "Ajay, of all people, cheated me." "I continued to pardon him for all his mistakes." "I displayed some oneness to somebody for the last time." "And he rejected me?" "The fool doesn't realise that I'm such a smake which is filled with poison in my entire body." "O Lord!" "Give him the courage to tolerate my poison." "Smake!" "You've been bitten by a smake!" " Brother!" " What happened?" " Brother has been bitten by a smake." " No." "Go and call the doctor immediately." "You'll have to live." "It's nothing." "Show me." " Why is medicine not curing her?"

"Protect her." "Or else, she'll be..." "Do protect her." "Constable!" "You've returned from the village a dejected man?" "You've fulfilled your desire ofbeing insulted?" "I've brought the honour of your family alongwith me." " Who's she?" " I thought a father doesn't forget her daughter even after she's married." "But you forgot your daughter even before you met her." "You remember her name?" "You've done a great favour to the community of fathers." "Now, let me also inform you that Sandhya's mother is no more." "It's good that she passed away." "Such a seif-respecting woman should've died a married woman." "I've promised her that I'll get Sandhya married." "I've already lost the shelter of my mother." "Can I expect shelter in your place?" "How can you say that?" "This house belongs to you." "I've suffered a lot by losing you." "You see, Ajay'll ensure that you're married off." "I mistook my false ego to be my pride." "This is my punishment." " No, it'll be your atonement, father." "Repeat it again." "What did you say?" "In old age, ears can mistake things." "I've told you once, father." "The almighty is giving me so many pleasures today." "I believed that you would never address me as your father.... ...even after I breathe my last." "Father, I want to ask you a question." "Mother remembered you every moment ofher life." "Did you never remember her?" "Remember her?" "I don't even remember how much I remembered her." "That mad woman told you her heart's desire but she couldn't hear my weeps." "Today you've all been united." "Tomorrow will mark a new beginning." "Two bosses will sit here." "You and myself." "Let me see how my friend looks seated on the boss chair?" "Mother!" "Mother!" "Didn't you understand?" "He's calling you." "Yes, go!" "You..." "You never addressed me like this earlier." "When one curses somebody all her life and then calls the person by her real name the person is sure to be taken by surprise." "We've only one demand." "We would be happy if our son marries the girl and brings her home." "That'll be enough." "No, mother." "I've some conditions." "The first condition is that the girl would not fetch any dowry except the costume that she wears at the time of ceremony." "My second condition is that a maximum of one rupees, twenty five paise will be spent towards expenditure during the marriage ceremony." "I too have a condition." "Our daughter should be sent off from our new house." "The marriage and the house-warming ceremony'll be held simultaneously." "Now that the conditions are fulfilled, what's the delay for?" "Make my sister so happy after marriage, that she forgets all her miseries." "It's my humble request to you." "Both of you'd better pay attention to the dinner arrangements." "Start the ceremony for house-warming only after they arrive here." "Thereafter the procession will arrive and the marriage will take place." "You've repeated it ten times ever since this morning." "Ajay and Uncle will stay with us." "And Sandhya will go with her husband." "Keep these things too." "This is the authority letter of my bank." "I've deposited some ornaments there." "Go and fetch them." "It's Sandhya's marriage today." "I'm her father." "I cannot marry her off without gifting her something." "Where did you get the money to buy the ornaments?" "So what if I starved myself?" "." "I'd saved  for what rightfully belonged to the child." "If it would've been a son, I would've given it to my daughter-in-law." "If it were a daughter, I would give it to her in marriage." "You're very clever, father." "I'm performing the ceremony." "But you'll derive the benefits." "We've come to fetch your daughter."

"Won't you fulfill the promise you made to your mother?" "Place her hand in my hand and fulfill the ceremony." "It's time for departure." "Mother, you've come here again." "I wonder what Ajay will do there." "Neither does he eat, drink or meet anyone." " He refuses to meet me too." " You won't understand it, son." "I fear that Ajay might take to violence and bloodshed." " What's the use of it all now?" " I don't know about its uses." "But if Ajay doesn't return, your dresm'll never be fulfilled." "You'll not enter the society where I've made the houses." "You'll remain trapped in this filth." "But never ever leave Ajay's company." "The truth is that though you've given me birth you love Ajay more than you love me." "Isn't it true?" "Yes." "I love Ajay more than I love my son." "Have you observed the rogues, ruffians and anti-social elements?" "They make the first move in violence because life is very dear to them."
