"These ties of the heart... are oh so lovable" "And yet, I have such a crazy heart" "No, not a word!" "I've won the round today" "I've got to Bombay before Jai!" "Sushma..." "You're late again, dad." " Who's that...?" "My flight got delayed in London by 2 hours" "Or I would surely have beaten you at it this time" "That's all right." "Try next time" "So... where is she?" "In the room?" "Who?" " The girl" "Where is my daughter-in-Iaw to be?" "You've returned empty-handed again?" "You're the one the girls are crazy about, dad" "We can always talk about the girl." "How about wishing Mom first?" "Have you met her?" "I'm the first to arrive, but it's your right to greet her first" "I'm late." "It's my mistake" "And your son wouldn't meet you because he wanted me... to wish you a happy birthday first" "You've given me a great son." "But there's one hitch" "He hasn't brought me a daughter-in-Iaw yet" "A daughter-in-Iaw isn't everything..." "all right, she is" "I promise, I'II bring one by the next year" "But you're with me, aren't you?" "He's still not willing to believe that the pIane-crash... he still thinks that you will return some day" "I mean, I'II get a wrong shot" "One moment" "Give me the camera and stand with Jai." "I'II take the pictures" "Say paneer (cottage cheese)" " It's cheese, dad" "Cheese is too english, son." "Paneer brings out the Indianness in you" "Say paneer" "Wow!" "God has given you your soulmate..." "What's happening, dad?" " I sometimes think... you do make a great couple." " couple...?" "I'm Jai's best friend." "Not girlfriend" "No marriage for Anita." "only sociaI-service, right?" "SociaI-service...?" "You mean you do social service in those clothes?" "It isn't necessary to wear hand-spun clothes for social service" "What is necessary is to make people like you dole out the money" "I get it!" "I was only taking a picture of yours... and you're getting me on film!" "Sit down and chat" "You may leave, uncle." "But you're coming with me tomorrow, Jai" "Apart from earning money, you must also do some charity in life" "It's good for the soul." " But dad's waiting for me" "It's only for ten minutes, Jai!" " Now look, Anita" "You spoke about charity, I agreed." "You wanted a lift, and I gave it" "And now..." " Give me ten minutes" "I want you to the meet the principal" "You haven't taken an appointment?" " No." "She's here at 10 every day" "I'm not meeting her without an appointment" "You still have 9 minutes." "Go and take the appointment" "You're giving half a million in charity, Jai 8 minutes..." "7 minutes 6... 5,4,3,2,1 ... time out!" "What do I see...?" "You're studying?" "You passed out of school because I bribed them... and bought the college you studied in." "And you're now studying?" "You've fractured your finger?" "No?" "Know what?" "I bribed my way through education too" "I don't have the brains to understand that." "What are you saying?" "Not you, dad." " So?" "So there's a girl..." "My son's in love!" "Fantastic!" "And you've been scanning the books for romantic lines?" "I'II give you the best possible line they've used in love." "Say..." "I know" "That's exactly what I'm trying to memorise" "I Iove you isn't something you got to memorise" "But if you still must, repeat it after me" "I'd tell her, if she could listen." " What does that mean?" "She can neither hear nor speak" "Now please don't play the villain between us, okay?" "In your happiness lies mine, my son." "And it's good too" "She can't hear, nor speak." "She won't know when we fight!" "Let's go..." " Where to?" "You're the groom, I'm the guest." "Let's go and bring her" "No, dad." "I don't know anything about her yet" "You drive your car at the speed of a jet... but you move at snail's pace in love?" "Find out about her folks" "I'II prepare for the wedding" "would you know of the beautiful teacher... ?" "Where's the principal's office?" " Over there" "I'm going to have word with her..." "You went away yesterday!" "Mr Jai... who wanted to see you yesterday" "Have you brought your cheque today?" " Oh yes" "Your cheque." " You can speak!" "You can even hear!" " You can hear and speak too!" "What did you think?" "That everyone here can neither hear nor speak?" "Happens, you know." "people often mistake me for a deaf and dumb" "I don't want to give you this money" "Not just this money." "I want to sponsor the whole show" "I have a condition." " What?" "I want to help in organising the show." " You won't be able to do it" "I mean... what will you do?" " I can do just about anything" "Dusting the chairs, perhaps." "Or hammering in a nail... or just gaping at you." " What?" "I mean, you can hear and speak." "So can I... it's these kids who need to be looked after" "Who's there...?" "Who is it?" "Me." "only me" " What are you doing up there?" "following you..." "I mean, with lights" "That isn't your job." "please come down" "I told you I couId do just about anything, I..." "Are you all right?" "The sand saved me" "You asked me to come down..." "I took the shortcut" "Ever since I fell in love with you..." "I can't go to sleep, nor do I have any peace" "Your choice." " How did you know?" "When one gets close to someone... go on one gets to know about her likes and dislikes" "I always thought I'd have to be very formal with the sponsor" "But you..." " No formalities" "No formalities." "So...?" "You've become a part of our lives so soon... you don't seem to be an outsider at all" "Like it?" " Oh yes" "And Mr Sponsor wants me to wear it during the show?" "Oh no." "actually..." "I'm lucky to have the opportunity to wear such a beautiful necklace" "Watch it" "What are you doing?" " For memory" "One day to go for the show." "After that..." "After that it'II all be over." "This tension and stuff" "And our relationship, too." " Jai... relationships are made." "They never end" "What are you doing here?" " Won't you say something to her?" "Are you crazy?" "I was just..." " tell her how you feel" "Put some sincerity into it." "It must look as if you can't live without her" "No, it's not happening" "Oh go away..." "you're ruining all my confidence" "Dad, please play Tia for a while" "Come along, dad" "Shut that mouth... please" "Tia, there's something I want to tell you" "Ever since I have seen you... why're you glaring at me like that, dad?" "Forget it, Jai." "It's not your cup of tea" "Looks like I'II have to do something." "I'II tell her" "Don't you dare say a word to her." " I will too!" "Goodness..." "Goodness me... my love, you are the one I have fallen in love with" "Goodness!" "With my eyes, I have secretly told you that I yield" "How will I meet your gaze?" "I feel so very shy" "How will I Iive without seeing you?" "It almost kills me" "It goes berserk in love with you..." "my ankIets won't listen to me" "Pining torments me." "Love has been my undoing" "Goodness!" "With your name on my lips, I spend my days..." "I spend my nights pining" "I remember every moment the naughty things you did" "My lips thirst for love." "The fire rages on" "How will I reason with my heart?" "It's so crazy" "Goodness!" "You are the one I have loved" "Goodness!" "You are my beloved." "You are the one I Iove" "Thanks for saying yes" "This humble gift... for you" "To the beginning of our new relationship" "To the beginning of our new relationship" "I'II first have to say I Iove you I've had it!" "Whom are you talking to?" "I'm glad I met you." "I personally wanted to thank you" "It's because of you that this charity show is a success" "Oh no, I only put in some money." " Not just the money" "You have put your heart in it too" " actually, you're right" "And I'm also glad I've met you." "Because I too..." "Yes?" "Go on." "What is it?" "May I say it?" " Of course, go ahead" "That's all I've learnt..." "for you" "The first time I saw you, I thought you were..." "I've been all over the world" "But no girl has ever made a place in my heart" "And I think you too..." "Here's your beloved, Tia!" "Sorry to have kept you waiting." "But my plane let me down again" "What are you doing out here?" "There's no one around... has the show-time changed?" " The show is over, Raj" "shall we go?" " Looks like I'm in for trouble" "Sure, Iet's go" "Tia, when is this programme of yours going to be telecast again?" "After all, I'II have to watch your programme too" "please tighten your seat-beIt." "We're ready for take-off" "Say something, Tia... please" "tell me something." "If you were angry with me, why did you hug me?" "And since you have hugged me, why are you angry with me?" "Say something, please" "If not anything something good, you may even scold me" "You're not going to find a lover like me, Tia..." "I'm begging to be scolded!" "I can make you open your mouth." "Which ice-cream will you have?" "Give me an ice-cream that will change the lady's mood" "Be ready." "The moment they walk in, switch that on" "And you... shower rose-petaIs the moment he arrives" "Astride the mare goes the bridegroom... with the sword tied to his waist" "He looks so proud to have found a beautiful bride... they do make a great couple" "Raj..." " At last, she speaks!" "Looks like the ice-cream has worked its magic" "Yes?" " Do you love me?" "Love...?" "That's a very crooked question." " tell me" "Tia, we've known each other for four years" "The first time I met you, I felt a sense of belonging" "Yours is the face that lingers before my eyes all day and night" "Whether I'm busy or far away..." "you're always close to my heart" "You're the one I will live and die for" "What I actually mean to say is that..." "I want to grow old with you" "And some day, on this very bench, I want to lie in your lap... and have an ice-cream" "Is this what they call love?" "Why don't we get married then?" " Married...?" "There's a problem." " What?" "tell me, Raj" "It's like this, Tia." "The two of us do want to get married" "But who will marry us?" "I had decided to bring your daughter-in-Iaw home today" "I even proposed to her." "But at the Iast moment..." "I'II do my best, Ma." "I'II do what I can" "God... why does this happen only to my son?" "He couldn't forget his mother..." "how will he ever forget his love?" "Who's calling?" " I'm her friend" "Tia, call for you" "Who is it?" " Your friend" "I have a request, Tia." "I want to meet you" "Jai, if there's something you want to say, tell me now..." "No, Tia." "I've got to talk to you in person" "I'm sorry, Jai." "I won't be able to come" "Once... only once." "Remember what you said?" "relationships are born." "They never end" "Do come for whatever relationship you think we share" "Cafe Bistro, at 5 this evening." "I'II wait for you" "You will come, won't you?" "Come" "What is the matter, Jai?" "There are no people in your restaurant...?" "There will be no one." "It's booked only for you" "Your choice" "Tia, after the show got over, when you were no Ionger with me..." "I felt as if there was a huge void in my Iife" "Jai, you know I..." " I know everything, Tia" "What you perhaps don't know is that I run a huge business empire" "M.D.'s and CEO's the world over long to spend time with me and I..." "I long for you, Tia" "You have the whole world to get on with your business, Jai" "So why must you want to make my little world your business?" "Because I'm in love with you, Tia" "I want to marry you" "You can't turn an acquaintance of a few days into such a relationship" "Why not?" " Ties of the heart... that you want to forge with me, I already share with Raj" "So why are you..." " Now look, Tia... if you wish, we could right now..." " Excuse me" "If you've called me here to seek an answer to your proposal... my answer is No, Mr Jai Mehta" "Thank you very much." "I'm getting late" "I was so sure that Tia loves you." "She looked so happy with you" "How could she refuse you and go away with that guy on the mobike?" "Cheer up, my son" "Now listen to this!" "There was this boy like you... who went crazy looking for his girl" "And someone gave him the idea of advertising in the newspapers" "Wanted wife The boy agreed" "He issued an ad..." "Wanted Wife" "He got thousands of letters in a week." "One thing was common in all of them" "Guess what...?" "Take my wife away any time you want to they said!" "I'm only trying to change your mood" "She came there, didn't she?" "That's it, she's interested then" "Her parents could have made a commitment elsewhere" "But she need not necessarily agree with it" "She isn't married yet, my son." "You still have a chance" "Don't lose hope" "Keep trying, your appeal for love will be upheld some day" "welcome, Mr Late Latif." " Me...?" "Who are you?" "The master has sent these flowers and a letter for you" "He has also asked for a reply" " royal style, all right!" "These flowers are testimony of my love for you" "And I wait for the day when you will love me too" "The dust and pollution of this city could make your beauty wither away" "This is the key to the car at your door-step." "Your birthday gift" "From me." "Yours, Jai" "Give this back to him" "Tia, tell Raj I'II be there in a moment" "Raj hasn't arrived yet, Mother." "Someone rang the bell by mistake..." "You're back again?" "I Iove you so much, I keep coming back to get a scolding" "This bouquet?" "Where did you find it?" "A gift of nature." " Nature?" "Yes." "We were brought up on wind, dust and water... so nature obviously gave it..." " Where did you find it?" "I found it lying outside and liked it." "I thought I'd pick it up for you" "Isn't it nice?" " Can't you even buy a bouquet?" "So you're late again?" "How are you?" " Not nice at all" "Nice flowers." " He's brought someone else's bouquet" "He can't even remember to buy flowers!" " Your love makes me forget everything" "Why don't you forget coming here?" "Or where I Iive?" "Or me instead?" "I forgot that too, but I had left my licence here" "I saw a cop and remembered." "So where's my licence?" "Which means... he doesn't even remember my birthday!" "My God!" "Is it your birthday?" "No wonder you're looking so good today." "For the first time ever" "Look at him, Mother!" "You know how Raj loves to tease you" "He can't digest his food till he pulls your leg" "Why did you do that...?" "You could've spared her at Ieast today" "It's her birthday." "Now go and placate her" "You look very beautiful today... really" "On this auspicious occasion of her birthday..." "I think I'd rather marry Tia and take her away... instead of giving her something" "What say?" "You're right." "I think it's time the two of you got married" "But are you going to bother Tia even after the wedding?" "absolutely." "This fun and laughter is what life is all about" "So let's decide the rest of the things too" "The rest of the things...?" " I have no one of my own" "So I'II myself have to talk about the dowry, right?" "Dowry...?" "As you know, Raj... everything I possess, belongs to Tia" "What else do you want?" "tell me" "Think it over, mother." " Raj, what are you...?" "I've thought it over." "What do you want, tell me" "You, mother" "I want a mother in dowry" "I don't want to be orphaned all over again" "But a mother does not live in her daughter's house" "She lives in her son's house, doesn't she?" "Even if you don't call me your son, treat me like one, mother" "Say yes mother" "I have everything today, Mother." "Everything" "Take your girlfriend to a seven-star and she says she loves you" "Here's the seven-star" "Wait... where are we going?" "Get down" "Here?" " Where else?" "But you said..." " Seven-star." "This is the one" "Even if it's a small place, one must have a Iarge-heart" "You got to be hungry to eat." "Are you hungry?" "Come on" "Do something special today..." "it's Tia's birthday" "will be done, sir" "please sit down" "I'II be back in a moment, sir" "What do you think of the place?" "Why've you kept the plant here?" " It's the lady's birthday, sir" "Oh yes, it is" "You've changed the whole scene." "Why did you have to spend so much?" "I have... so it's all right" "Such a huge cake... for me?" " No." "It's not our cake" "Mister... please take the cake away." "It's not ours" "Stop kidding, Raj." "It even has my name written on it" "One moment..." "let me confirm" "Any girl by the name Tia in here?" "You, perhaps...?" "I think you're the only one who's Tia" "May I cut the cake then?" " No" "Aren't you supposed to close your eyes and make a wish first?" "I've done it." "Raj, what are you...?" "Nothing." "Just cut the cake" "Where are you taking it?" " Let me serve dinner, sir" "What for?" "We're going to be happy with the cake" "I'II have the upper-deck, Tia'II have the lower one" "Nice joke..." " I'm not joking!" "Raj, I'II never forget this lovely evening!" "Neither will I. After all those dishes..." "I mean, we have yet to eat" "please get me the bill." " Your bill has been paid, sir" "Paid?" "But please give me the bill." " As I said, sir..." "Maybe I Iook like a tramp, but I'm a decent guy" "You can adjust with me, if I'm short of dough." "You can keep my watch" "Sir, you do crack nice jokes." " I don't crack jokes at all" "I'm a serious man." " So am I... and I tell you seriously that your bill has been paid" "This is strange!" "Who could have paid the bill?" "I know who paid it." " Who?" "Was it fun?" "Jai, I've told you in plain terms that there is no place for you in my Iife" "So why did you...?" " So you're the one who sent... those flowers and the cake...?" "I'm very happy to meet you" "What makes me more happy is that you have changed the colour of our evening" "Not at all." "Such a big day in Tia's life and this dingy place...?" "I thought I'd make it worthy of Tia" "Mr Jai Mehta, maybe you're a big man... but you have no right to call someone small" "And who gave you the right to do that?" "Who...?" "And you call Raj..." " Not me, Tia... he called the eatery small." " You don't understand, Raj" "He sponsored the show at our school" "He even proposed to me..." "but I turned him down" "Ever since, he has been trying to impress me." "He's trying to... create misunderstandings between us." " Tia, is there room... for misunderstanding between us?" "Jai-saheb, we aren't married yet" "But we've divorced each other several times" "Just think what a deep relationship we must share" "It's not your mistake, I must say." "Tia is indeed very beautiful" "I call it my good-fortune that Tia's in love with me" "actually, intimacy between hearts can never be forced" "It happens on its own" "Now for the bill you paid..." "please keep it." "For Tia's sake" "Your arrangements were excellent." "The food and especially the music" "See?" "This is how my Raj is" "If you're so fond of making arrangements... my wedding is coming up next week." "With Raj" "This relationship of hearts is so loveable" "And yet, we are so crazed at heart" "We are madly in love with each other... the whole world knows that" "This relationship of hearts is so loveable" "Your kiss on my eyes, my love... your kiss on my eyes, my love... has made me blossom" "You have made me blossom" "And yet, we are so crazy at heart" "This relationship of hearts is so loveable" "In loneliness, my love... in loneliness, my love..." "I have called out to you very often" "We sure are crazy at heart" "This relationship of hearts is so loveable" "Jai...?" " Raj?" "What a co-incidence!" "My motorbike has stalled" "Come, I'II give you a ride" "So where will you go?" " The hospital" "Bikes are repaired in a garage, not hospitals" "Tia's in hospital" "Which hospital?" " Avon" "What happened to Tia?" " That which happens after marriage" "Tia's becoming a mother" "I don't drink" "Jai, my family will be complete today" "Tia will be a mother and I - a father" "This is the biggest joy in the lives of those in love, isn't it?" "Oh yes, I guess so" "I forgot to ask about you" "You've grown a stubble..." "no problems, I hope?" "Forget about me." "You're becoming a father and... starting a family." "How does it feel?" " Fantastic" "should I sing, dance, go berserk...?" "I don't know what to do" "Because I'm an orphan, I know how precious the love of parents is" "But my child isn't destined to lead the life of an orphan" "He'II get love from his mother, his grandmother... and what is most important..." "the name of his father." "My name" "When someone asks him what his Papa's name is... he'II say in his babyish way, Laj" "My papa's name is Laj" "The happiness shows in your eyes." " Yes, I've found all relationships" "relationships of the heart" "Aren't you coming in?" "You ought to spend this time with Tia alone" "And Raj... should you ever need something..." "Tia, here comes your beloved The nurse told me it's a baby-boy!" "Here he comes." "Late, as usual" " I'm not late..." "careful!" " So sweet!" "My little boy!" "He's taken after me, hasn't he?" " Yes" "But his eyes are like Tia's" "His eyes, nose, cheeks, ears, mouth... are all like Tia's." "The rest is all like you" "See?" "Your mother and my mother have ganged up together" "But that's all right." "You're going to be my darling boy" "I'II give you all the love..." "I never had in my childhood" "You have given me the relationship I probably wasn't destined to have" "You have given me the cheerfulness of the Sun" "You have given me the calmness of the Moon" "You have given me every happiness" "You are very kind, my dear lady" "You are very kind, my dear lady" "We are so crazy at heart" "We are madly in love with each other... that we are madly in love with each other... the whole world knows" "This relationship of hearts is so loveable" "This intimacy between our hearts is so loveable" "Don't cry, Anshu..." "look, Papa's here" "What happened, Raj?" " I'm tired, mother" "I'm tired of Iife, Tia." "I have the same rickety motorbike... the same irritating life..." "shut up!" "I thought my Iife would change after you came... but nothing happened" "The same old mobike!" " Am I...?" "And I thought Anshu would be bring me a stroke of good luck" "But it's the same old motorbike!" "When you can't get your motorbike... serviced properly, how is my son to blame?" "Who's blaming him?" "I ask, when Anshu grows up... how will the three of us go on the motorcycle?" "On the rickety motorcycle!" " Yes!" "How will we move on it?" "Like everyone else does!" "Raj, we are happy." "Even if we're making less money... we are at Ieast happy, aren't we?" " But I'm not happy!" "I think I'II give up..." "I can't take the nagging!" "What?" " Why think?" "I give up!" "Right now, I give up!" " What's gotten into him?" "Go and find out." "Go" "What's gotten into you, Raj?" " I said, I give up!" "I told you, I give up!" "I give up this rickety motorbike!" "For you, a new car!" "A new car and an old driver" "You don't want a new driver, do you?" "What happened?" " Raj has got a new car." "Look" "The office gave it to me." "And a promotion too" "The post of branch manager." " Why did you tease Tia?" "For fun, mother" "As compensation, Iet's all dine at a 5-star this evening 5-star or 7-star?" " I told you" "The two of you may go." " No, Mother." "You must join us" "There are times the husband and wife must go out on their own" "We'II can always do that, mother." " I told you!" "Hear that...?" "That's what Anshu wants too" "Tia, here comes your beloved" "Where are you going?" "I'm your husband" "I've got mother's permission" "Park it carefully, please" "I couId only dream of such 5-star hotels" "Give up these dreams." "They're part of someone's life now" "You're right, Anita." "But how will I reason with my heart?" "It still dreams of Tia" "What else do you dream of?" "Another promotion, another car and another visit to this 5-star" "That's not what we are here for." " What else?" "We are here only for your smile" "Your smile, the dot on your forehead, and those eyes... what happened ?" "She's my first and last love" "How will I forget her?" " Who's asking you to forget her Jai?" "I'm only asking you to take courage from her memories" "That's easier said, Anita." "It's easier said" "This much would've paid the grocer's bill for a month!" "Do you now understand what a 5-star is?" "It's all right." "For the sake or our happiness" "We don't come here every day" "shall we leave?" " The change...?" "It's a tip." " So much... ?" "20 rupees should be enough" "May I say something, sir?" " Go ahead" "If your love is true, God will always brings hearts together" "See?" " He's right" "If love is true." " I understand" "So you mean I'm not really in love with Tia?" "You are." "But have you thought of how much Raj loves her?" "Have you thought that Tia's happiness lies in Raj?" "Have you ever considered that if your love for Tia is true... in her happiness must lie your own joy" "But why would you think like that?" "Henceforth..." "No more booze for me!" "Here's my car" "You won't forget your promise after you sober down, will you?" "So you don't trust me?" " I do" "So your trust is perfectly in place." "Give me the keys" "I'II drive the car tonight." "please!" "only tonight" "Here you are" "Jai Mehta's starting a new life." " Papa will be very happy" "AII thanks to you" "Watch out!" "What are you doing...?" "You're in the wrong lane, Jai!" "You've saved a jilted lover from dying" "Nothing will happen to you" "Nothing's happening to you" "Go to sleep..." "go back to sleep" "Raj and Anita..." " I know, my son" "And Tia?" " The doctors are trying to revive her" "Hasn't she regained consciousness?" "please take me to her" "Tia, my child..." "Tia, look at me..." "Doctor... what's happened to Tia?" " Everything will be all right" "Why doesn't she speak?" " please don't worry... we are doing our best" "Doctor, what's happened to her?" "Nothing can be said about a case like this" "please arrange for the money." "We might need an operation..." "You needn't worry about the money." "I'II meet all the expenses, doctor" "But you must save this girl's life" "Who's he...?" " Mr Mehta" "It's his son's car your daughter had an accident with" "please come with me, Mr Mehta." "We have many formalities to complete" "We'II keep the patient under observation all 24 hours" "Mother..." "I'm your culprit, mother" "I've made this mistake, mother" "I wasn't in my senses" "I was drunk." "So when Raj's car..." "You can hit me as much as you want to." "Give me any punishment you wish to" "Because of my negligence, my friend Anita... she had told me that she wanted to drive the car" "Had I listened to her, Raj wouldn't have died..." "Not Raj alone" "Under the wheels of your car, it isn't just Raj... you have crushed my entire family" "My daughter..." "she had just begun a new life" "And you've turned her into a widow, in just a moment" "You have!" "Her son is longing for his mother" "He hadn't even held his father's hand and learnt to walk yet." "And you... you have orphaned him!" "You have!" "And you come seeking pardon after committing a crime?" "What can you do...?" "What?" "Can you bring Raj back to life?" "Can you return him alive to me?" "Can you...?" "You can't do a thing" "Nothing!" "Accidents some time affect a patient's mind so much... that they either lose their memory or remember things very faintly" "medically, this state is called retrograde amnesia" "Patients like them lead a normal life... but they can't remember their past" "That's just what has happened to your daughter" "simply put, she has lost her memory" "With great difficulty we have convinced her that you are her mother" "Doctor, when will she regain her memory?" "It might take days, months or even years" "Or maybe she will never regain her memory at all" "She might have to spend a lifetime in this state" "Nothing can be said for sure." "We do try to make patients... regain their memory by reminding them of past incidents... but that's not how Tia's condition is" "The slightest bit of pressure on her mind can drive her insane" "She could suffer a brain hemorrhage." "She could even die" "This is why you must hide from her... the truth of her husband's death and her son's identity" "That's not all." "You must destroy all things that remind Tia of her past" "If possible, take her to a place where no one recognises her... but do not try to remind her of any old incident" "Destroy all old memories" "On this auspicious occasion of her birthday..." "I think I'd rather marry Tia and take her away... instead of giving her a present" "But are you going to bother Tia even after the wedding?" "absolutely." "This fun and laughter is what life is all about" "It's great fun to be in a hospital." "Keep lying down like a Queen... everyone runs around to serve you, but I've never been ill!" "Mother... please listen to me" "That which is destined, is what always happens" "Good things and bad things" "But I was terribly upset to hear of your loss" "Loss... ?" "This is the first time I've seen death at such close quarters" "This accident is going to drive me mad, mother" "Give me one chance, please!" "Madam, the doctor has forbidden you from disturbing the patient" "You're the one who's disturbing us" "She's like my own daughter." "We're very close to each other" "Aren't we, Tia?" "But... who are you?" "What?" "Haven't you recognised me?" " Mrs Bharucha..." "Tia, this is Mrs Bharucha" "But you..." " Mrs Bharucha..." "Doctor Modi wants to meet you." " What for?" "He wants to ask you something." " Ask me...?" "Let's go" "He's in his office." "Let's go" "Don't ever crack such jokes again, Tia" "please have your medicine" "What was she talking about?" " I don't know what she was saying" "please take your medicine" "What if I had said more...?" "Someone or the other is surely going to remind her of the past" "What are you thinking about?" "Mrs Bharucha speaks of one problem" "There are going to be many more." "I know, mother... you hate the sight of me." "I'm responsible for whatever has happened" "But I want to stand by you in this hour of crisis" "I want to devote my entire life in the service of your family" "Sister... wounds heal with treatment" "And grief is alleviated when you share it" "What do you want me to do?" "To forget everything and forgive him?" "Him?" "only till Tia regains her memory." "After that..." "I'II accept any decision the two of you take" "please give me one opportunity to make up for my blunder" "AII right." "So you don't want to give my son this opportunity" "Don't forgive him." "Do as you wish... tell your daughter the truth and kill her!" "I'm trying to reason with her, but she..." "Madam, in a car accident, people pay money to hush up matters" "No one comes forward to take responsibility for the dead or ailing" "But my son has taken this step." "On his own responsibility... he wants to take you folks far away from this place... so that no acquaintance will rake up the past... and become the reason for her death" "But you aren't letting that happen." "Because you own their lives, you see!" "Because of my son's mistake, Raj lost his life." "But you... you will lose your daughter because of your arrogance and stubbornness" "Whether you forgive my son or not, you must at Ieast think... of your daughter and your grandson's future" "We were going to South Africa, to your best friend Anita's house" "When the car met with an accident..." "Anita and Jai were also there with you in the car" "You lost your memory in the accident and Anita lost her life" "Anshu is Anita and Jai's son..." "he loves you very much" "You're his aunt, after all" "If you stay with him, he won't feel the absence of a mother" "As the doctors have said... there will be an improvement in your health, if you go to a new place" "That is why Jai is taking us with him" "Don't cry, Anshu..." "enough, my child..." "Give him to me" "Come to me, my son..." "come to your aunt" "You're doing so much for us..." "mother has told me" "Don't say thanks, please" "I'm the one responsible for whatever has happened to you" "The truth is that when I think of your loss..." "I find my own grief to be so very little" "My P.A., Swami" " How's the little boss..?" "Anuj!" "You haven't recognised uncle Swami?" " His name is Anshu, not Anuj" "Sorry." "Faux pas." " You must think before you speak" "She's stern." " Bring the luggage in your car, Swami" "They'II come in my car." " Take the baby, Tia" "Give him to me" "Greetings, sir." " Greetings" "Get their luggage from the car and show them to their room" "If there is anything you need, please let me know" "Anshu's crying" "Swami, why's he crying?" "Looks like he needs servicing" "We'II have to change his nappies" "You mean me?" "I'm his dad, after all" "When you grow up..." "join the fire brigade!" "Sir, here I go for a dry-cIeaning" "You don't know how to take care of a child" "I'II learn." " Why haven't you yet?" "I didn't have a child..." "I mean, he always clung to his mother" "Henceforth, he'II cling to his aunt." "Right, Anshu?" "By the way, who has he taken after?" "He's exactly like his mother." "The same lovely eyes, the smile... the beautiful moon-Iike face" "Come, steal my heart... my sweet little angel" "Give me a smile... my sweet little angel" "I have always been in love with you... but how do I tell you?" "You do not understand how I pine" "Come, steal my heart... my sweet little angel" "Give me a smile... my sweet little angel" "My life now revolves around you" "My hopes are all pinned on you" "The sight of you makes me realise... you are the one my breath is tied to" "Make me forget my woes... my sweet little child" "Do smile, my sweet little angel" "Come, steal my heart" "I Iive in a world of your memories" "Never can my heart ever forget you" "You mean the life to me." "Come, Iet me show you... every time my heart beats, it craves for you" "Put me to a test, O sweet little angel..." "Do smile..." "O sweet little child" "I have always been in love with you... but how do I tell you?" "You do not understand how I pine" "Come, steal my heart... my sweet little angel" "Give me a smile... my sweet little child" "I've brought tea for you" "Tea." " No, I've already drunk some" "Have it." "I don't make a bad cuppa" "It's so hot..." "and you drank it all in one gulp?" "Yes, actually I'm getting late for my office" "Sit down... while I finish my tea" "So how did you find Cape Town?" " I have a Iong list... how many things will I tell you about?" "There are trees that remain standing" "Mountains that don't budge an inch" "And the Sun... it rises and sets at its own time" "The atmosphere is pretty healthy and cooperative out here" "I've seen the morning, evening and night..." "I can see it all from your terrace." "Come over, if you have the time" "I'II show you Cape Town too." " In that case, get ready... to take you around Cape Town is my responsibility" "This is Cape Town's most interesting place" "This is where the atlantic Ocean and the Indian Ocean... after miles of journey, leaving everything else... merge together." "From here begins a new identity for them... a new journey." " And a new story" "Like mine." "After losing my memory..." "I am also moving in a new direction" "I some times wonder what my past was like" "Was it better than what I have now?" "Or did I lose something precious?" "And then, I laugh it off" "What is lost, is not coming back" "And what I have, I don't want to lose" "You have come to terms with yourself in this situation, Tia" "But there are people in the world who would want to live their lives again... if they are given the opportunity" "Jai, do you also look forward to starting a new journey... giving up the past like these oceans?" " Yes." "I'm one of them too" "But life doesn't give everyone the opportunity" "The past never returns..." "memories are all we have" "shall we go?" "Know what, Jai?" "I wondered how I'd adjust life in this alien city" "But you've made everything so easy for me" "In you, I've found a friend I can be angry with, fight with... and also love" "How about an ice-cream?" "Let's have our palms read" "Sit down." "I've shown many people the right path" "What are you getting into, Tia?" "Come on" "One moment..." "let's see what he's going to say" "Suspicions are but natural." "You can't control your mind" "Extend your palm without any hesitation, lady" "Your nice times are about to begin" "A very bright future!" " Forget about the future" "Can you tell me something about my past?" "About the days gone by?" " The days gone by...?" "So you want to test my prowess, I see!" "Ask what you want to!" "Without any hesitation" "Who am I...?" " A girl, a female" "Let's go, Tia." " One second" "Your past is all too clear in your palm" "Your past speaks of a husband and a son" "Let's go, Tia." "please." " However... your past is eclipsed" "What does that laughter mean?" " You're getting it all wrong!" "That isn't my past, but it can very well be my future" "I told you, they will say anything for the money" "Here you are." "Let's go." " It's God who gives" "I'm only a medium!" "One day, you will get to know the truth!" "My predicition is never wrong." " Don't take him seriously, Tia" "They'II speak any lies for money" "His lies could well prove to be the truth" "The truth is that you were far away from me... and I wanted to get close to you." "And now that you are close..." "I must keep away from you" "You have lost your memory." "And I've lost sight of my goal" "I walk, but there is no path." "I Iive... but I'm not among the living" "Give me that photo." " Can't I see Anita's picture?" "Oh my heart... this heart of mine... oh this heart of mine... when shall it be worthy of you?" "My heart..." "I hear the bridal shehnai being played at a distance... and I dream of a bridal paIanquin" "That I will be your bride... says the chiming of my ankIets" "Every step you take is towards me..." "for I am your goal" "Oh my heart... this heart of mine... when shall it be worthy of you?" "I shall love you forever... you're the one I'm crazy about, my love" "In what words will I tell you...?" "this heart of mine beats only for you" "Do please solve this predicament for me, my love" "Oh my heart... my heart... when shall it be worthy of you?" "My heart... oh my heart" "How did you find Cape Town?" " It's nice" "I slipped on the beach, Ma..." "Tia, go to your room and change" "AII right" "Tia's speaking the truth..." " I want no clarification!" "If I have agreed to stay with you... it's only to keep Anshu and Tia together" "Do not try to take advantage of my daughter's plight... and drive her wayward." " But mother..." "I gave only Raj the right to call me mother" "You mustn't even dream of taking his place" "Not in my Iife, not in Tia's" "The father won't telephone and the son shows airs!" "Come, mother" "Anshu's so cute, isn't he?" "Do you Iike him?" "Very much." " Me too" "How about everything else?" " Everything else?" "Swami" "And Jai?" "What is the matter, mother?" "You don't ever talk about Jai" "Don't you approve of me talking and joking with him?" "Every relationship has its limits, Tia" "But a relationship of the heart knows no limits, mother" "Which is why, despite losing everything, I have a mother like you... a son like Anshu and a friend like Jai" "Jai has defined his own limits, mother" "It would be good for every one, if he keeps to his limits" "The girl I wanted to make your daughter-in-Iaw... is in your house today, Ma" "But I still can't make her your daughter-in-Iaw" "AII I'm destined to have is Tia's company, Ma." "only her company" "Not her love" "You thought you'd give me a surprise" "But I found the opportunity first." "Right?" "I have another surprise." "Come on" "Your jacket, sir" "You may keep your bag at your side." "As for the food..." "Chef Tia has personally cooked your favourite dishes" "How do you know these are my favourite dishes?" "When hearts meet, one gets to know of the other's likes and dislikes" "Like you found out that blue is my favourite colour" "Let's make a wish today" "Maybe this is the moment that will bring light into our lives" "And what will I have to do?" "close your eyes and make a wish" "What happened, Jai?" " I'm very tired" "At least have your food." " I'm not hungry" "Listen, Jai..." "How helpless am I?" "I'm a shattered man" "My heart is sinking... and the shores are close by" "What do You want...?" "What do You want after all?" "You took away my memories." "But I didn't complain" "I thought whatever You did, was for the better" "But why are You distancing Jai from me?" "Why don't You awaken love for me in his heart?" "complaint aren't the solution to your problems" "Every setback ought to be your ladder to move forth" "Your determination will get stronger and you'II get what you wouldn't have" "That's easier said than done." "Mere words of courage that don't help" "They do help, my child." " child...?" "Who are you and how did you get into the house?" "I walked in through the door." " The door...?" "AII right, but what are you doing in this house?" "I'm here to meet Jai." " Do you know him?" "I've heard of him, but we've never done business together" "You mustn't." "He can't respect a girl." "What business will he do?" "He can't concentrate on his work." "He'II ruin the whole business... and bring the old man on the streets!" " old man?" "His dad" "His dad, the old man!" "Thanks for giving me the inside stuff" "Can I solve any problem for you?" "Weren't you talking about a problem just now...?" "well, to my misfortune, I've fallen in love with him" "With Jai" "But he won't even look at me." "The sonofagun!" "useless chap!" "He's earning curses for his father!" "There isn't another girl, is there?" "I've been told that Jai Mehta is a playboy" "What...?" "Get up!" "Up!" " What happened?" "You don't even know Jai and you're already bad-mouthing him?" "Get out!" " Strange!" "If I say something about him, it's a bad thing" "You weren't singing praises for him just now, were you?" "I'II go and tell Jai Mehta what sort of people live in his house!" "Who are you to interfere in our family affairs?" "Who...?" "I'm the gun, and he's my son" "You're his...?" " Father" "Swami told me that you've arrived" "You weren't even attending the hotel's anniversary." "I was..." "The anniversary was just an excuse" "tell me something, my child" "Are you convinced that Jai is not in love with you?" "absolutely." "There are only two people who matter in his life" "Anshu." "And Anshu's mother" "You're so right, my dear" "But that which has gone away, never comes back." "Does it?" "No" "So Jai must also try to start life afresh, mustn't he?" "Yes, he must" "After all, one accident isn't bigger than life itself" "It is." "Some times, an accident is so big..." "life itself is dwarfed in front of it." " May I say something?" "Despite a journey of mishaps, life still goes on" "absolutely right." "Yesterday is past-tense" "It can't be changed." " You're right" "Nobody can change yesterday." "It's better to forget what has happened" "It's time for Anshu's meal." "I'II attend to it" "Whatever anyone says, my child, I accept you as my daughter-in-Iaw" "You will have my support in anything you do to win over Jai's heart" "There's a party to celebrate the anniversary of our hotel tomorrow" "So..." "I admit, there is a limit to which love can go..." "I do agree, there is a limit to one's patience" "I agree, my heart beats only for my beloved" "I agree, there is a limit to which I can yield" "My love, O my love..." "O my love..." "In love, when fear gripped my heart... this distance between us, my heart could not take" "I went so crazy, I couId understand nothing... in love, when fear gripped my heart... this distance between us, my heart could not take" "Oh my love... my love..." "O my love, my love..." "In love, I must live and die" "Without love, I have nothing else to do" "I'm not going to fear the world anymore" "Love possesses every heartbeat of mine" "In love, when fear gripped my heart... this distance between us, my heart could not take" "O my love, my love..." "To faII in love, isn't easy." "It's very difficult" "Those that tread the path of love, never find their goals" "In love, you gain nothing" "What is love...?" "Nobody could ever understand" "In love, when fear gripped my heart... this distance between us, my heart could not take" "I went so crazy, I couId figure out nothing" "O my love, my love... my love, my darling" "I know how it feels when your love is reciprocated with indifference" "But I also know that you are the only one Jai loves" "I mean, you are the only one Jai will love" "We must find a way to make Jai promise... to make you my daughter-in-Iaw in the next 24 hours" "Promise, my foot" "He loves you very much, doesn't he?" " Oh yes, so...?" "So...?" " So...!" "Tia, why are you crying?" "Jai, your dad has had a heart attack!" "Come home immediately!" "Are these clothes okay for the death scene?" "She's talking to him!" "Any clothes are okay for a death scene" "Jai has left the office." "Get on with the preparations" "I'm so nervous, I hope I don't really have a heart attack" "We'II handle it, if you do" "The whole game depends on you!" " You remember the lines...?" "My son..." " Wrong!" "Your heart is on the Ieft." " AII right" "Jai, after you are dead..." " Speak the lines properly!" "It's your death scene." "Not Jai's!" "Jai, my son... after I'm dead..." " exactly!" "Get that!" "My son, after I'm dead, buy a new house for yourself" "Make a new house, I say!" " settle down!" "Not make a house" "I see, so it's settle down!" " May I play the role?" "I remember all the lines." " Here comes another actor!" "But this is an original play." "We can't change fathers!" "May I say something, if you don't mind?" "You're a very bad actor." "You can't remember your lines!" "Bring out the pain...?" " I'm trying..." "I'm squeezing my sides, but I feel no pain" "Bring it out from the insides." " I see, all right" "Where are you going?" " You said inside, didn't you?" "I mean, feelings from inside your heart" "Master Jai is here!" " Is he...?" "Look, son." "I've had a heart-attack..." " Go on inside!" "What happened to dad?" " In your room upstairs" "Have some holy water" "Swami, what happened to him?" " He's going away" "Tia, did you telephone a doctor?" " The doctor was here" "He said it's too late." "There are no chances of survival" "Hasn't Jai come as yet...?" " I'm right here, dad" "What happened to you?" " Heart attack" "You used to take such good care of yourself." "How did..." "quickly say what you've got to." "You don't have much time, uncle" "That's right." "We can't see you suffering" "My son, you'II have to do what I ask of you today" "Of course, I will." " Promise me, Jai... after I die..." " Keep talking." "Don't stop" "It'II relieve you of the burden." " Say it" "After I'm dead, make a house..." "settle down" "But dad..." " Don't refuse, Jai" "You've given me your word." "You'II do as I say" "Anshu needs a mother for his upbringing" "I want you to settle down with Tia" "With me...?" " Anshu won't call you aunt" "He'II call you mother." "Mother!" "If you wish, for Anshu's sake, I will..." "Tia has agreed to the wedding" "And Anshu's so happy with the development" "Promise me... that you will marry Tia alone" "But you know..." "He's gasping for breath!" "Say yes!" "I promise..." " will you marry me?" "What are you staring at?" "Nothing's wrong with me!" "I'm fit as a fiddle!" "The heart-attack...?" " There was nothing!" "Nothing!" "I wanted you to promise that you love Tia and that you'II marry her" "And you said it!" "Does anyone joke around with death?" "Perhaps you forget." "Tia's is the mother of Raj's child" "Perhaps you even forget that it is your son... who has brought Tia to this state" "You also forget that Tia is leading a life of illusions" "The day she gets to know the truth... she will start hating you and your son" "You seem to have forgotten everything" "AII right" "But you must not forget, Tia's mother is still alive" "It would be better if you kept only your duties in mind... and left my daughter's and my grandson's future to me" "I seek your forgiveness for whatever happened today" "But if you could forgive Jai..." "I understand your feelings." "But before you make any decision... about your daughter's and grandson's future... please open this boxes and take a look" "After that, I will respect whatever you decision you take" "Good bye" "Red:" "bridal Wear" "White:" "For widows" "Come to your aunt" "Tia, Jai's father came to me to ask for your hand in marriage" "I have agreed" "You were against it till last night." "So what happened?" "AII of last night, your words echoed in my mind... that relationships of the heart know no limits" "I can't live with Anshu" "And Anshu cannot live without you" "And you... without Jai" "This is why I have accepted the proposal" "But Jai always keeps a distance from me..." "I know." "He stays aloof, only because of me" "When you tell him that I have consented... he'II surely agree" "Do you want me to have a word with him?" "No, mother." "The past is sure behind me" "But I want to see my future bright and clear" "I want to know what's in Jai's mind" "I'II break the news to him" "Anshu, you will call me mother, won't you?" "Once he starts, you're the only one he'II call mother" "You have found your mother" "You have found your mother, Anshu" "Tia's life isn't like a piece of blank paper, Ma" "It's stained with blood." "Because of me" "She's in love with me today." "But what if she gets to know the truth?" "For my happiness, I can't forget the past" "I can't forget it." "I can't" "You had once forgotten everything and prayed for a new life, Jai" "Tia...?" "God has today heard your prayers and mine, Jai" "You don't understand" "My mother has consented to our wedding" "My palms will now be adorned with bridal henna for you" "I shall apply the bridal vermiIIion for you" "That's not possible." " Not possible?" "Man doesn't stop living when he loses his dear ones, does he?" "Both of us have had to go through the accident, Jai" "It's just that I didn't express the anguish I felt" "I'm fumbling in darkness, Jai." "With just a lamp of hope" "You are my lamp of hope, Jai" "You... you won't understand my compulsions" "Nobody understands it." " What compulsion is that?" "My conscience is stopping me, Tia." " Conscience...?" "So why did you buy that gift for me?" "Why did you write my name on it?" "Why can't you tell me how you feel?" "Why don't you admit that you love me?" "Because I can't forget my past." " You will have to forget it!" "Tia... what happened?" "Why are you crying?" "We are not staying here anymore." " What's wrong?" "Where is the need to tell Tia?" "What has happened is in the past!" "You forgot the doctor's words?" "She could have a brain hemorrhage!" "She could go mad!" "Yes, I've gone mad!" "I don't want to live with Jai!" "And what happens of Anshu...?" " It's Jai's duty to think of him" "When he won't take me as his wife, how can I be his child's mother?" "Anshu is Tia and Raj's son" "When she gets to know that, what will she think of me?" "Are you then waiting for her to regain her memory?" "So that she becomes a widow and starts hating you?" "No!" "But I know what I'm doing!" "You're giving her more trouble by spurning her" "You're snatching away from her the joys of her future" "calm down, my child." "I'II make Jai see reason" "No, you are not doing that." "I don't want any pity!" "But my child..." " You called me your child, right?" "So come with me." "Right now!" " We can't go away, Tia" "You can't be my mother!" "Tia!" "Listen to me!" "Where are you going?" "Jai!" "Tia has sped away in the car!" "Stop her!" "In love, I must live and die" "Without love, I have nothing else to do" "Love is the intoxication clouds my eyes in love, when fear gripped my heart... this distance between us, my heart could not take" "Oh my love... my love..." "Tia!" "Stop there!" "What's gotten into you?" "Have you gone mad?" "I'II do what I want to." "Who are you to stop me?" "Let me die!" " will death set everything right?" "Yes, it will." "Leave me alone!" " You're thinking only about yourself" "You don't care for others." " There is no one!" "That's not true, Tia." " That is the truth too!" "Every relationship is fake..." " Nothing is fake" "It's just that you don't understand." " I don't want to understand!" "Whatever we are doing is only for your welfare" "I don't want anyone's sympathies!" "I don't need anyone!" "I don't want to live anymore!" " You will have to live!" "For your mother." "For your son Anshu..." "What did you say...?" "Anshu... my son?" "Is Anshu my son?" "Wasn't he born to you and Anita...?" "tell me the truth, Jai" "Or else..." " Anita was only my friend" "I was never married" "The accident in which you lost your memory... killed not just Anita... it killed Raj too." " Raj...?" "Who's Raj?" "Your husband" "My husband...?" "Yes, Tia." "You were married to Raj" "You and Raj were in your car when it collided with mine" "I'm your culprit" "I'm the one because of whom this accident took place" "I'm the one because of whom Anshu lost his papa" "Anshu is your son and Raj's..." "not mine" "Anshu... my son!" "Because of what the doctor said..." " No, mother..." "I had to lie to you" "To keep you alive, Tia" "I did whatever I had to, for the sake of my daughter and my grandson" "But it's Jai who has made the biggest sacrifice" "He has done more than his bit" "And still, he mustn't have spoken his heart" "No, Iet me talk today" "Know what, Tia?" "You are the only girl he has ever loved in his life" "only you." "Not just now..." "from even before you got married" "But he lives with a guilt complex." "He hopes for your memory to return... so you will pronounce a punishment for what he did" "That accident was part of my destiny, Jai" "If not you, someone else would have collided into us" "If my words will help taking the burden off your chest..." "I do forgive you" "Where are you going?" "uncle, despite being told everything and getting to know the truth... why don't I recall my past?" "But I know today that I'm a mother, I'm a widow" "But Tia..." " No, Jai" "You've tolerated me enough." "Not anymore" "Not anymore" "Wait, Tia." "For my sake" "You're only thinking about yourself and your child, Tia" "For you, I was a married man and a father till yesterday" "So why didn't all this occur to you then?" "You know why, Tia?" "Because you're in love with me" "What if I tell you today that I Iove you more than I ever did... and that I won't be able to live without you?" "If I tell you today that I want to give Anshu the love of a father... and my name... what will you do?" "will you marry me?" "My Ma has today found her daughter-in-Iaw" "And Anshu has found his father"
