Aradhana Page #4

What did you wish for?

I have got everything

without wishing for it.

Come.

God bless you!

May God bless your marriage.

- We are not married as yet.

- So what?

This is Lord Shiva's temple.

If you take your vows

and garland each other here...

...you will be united forever.

I'll be back, sir.

Give me two garlands.

Garland each other.

Sir, get your picture taken.

One copy in one minute

for just one rupee.

Shall we?

Come... Gaze at

each other lovingly.

- Here. Take a look.

- The photograph is excellent!

The photographer is also good.

I have 40 years experience

but no one values it.

You are great!

Take this.

Take this garland too.

We'll come here again...

...and take a picture with our child.

- What!

- I mean, with our son.

We'll definitely have a boy first.

Don't feel shy.

Everyone gets married

and has children.

First let the wedding get over.

We're already married.

We have already garlanded

each other in the temple.

And our hearts became one

the first time we met.

Isn't that right?

Vandana, you are mine.

Aren't you?

Then reply.

- Not like that. Say it aloud.

- Aloud?

I am yours.

This is your room.

You will find everything here.

Let me know if you

need anything. Goodnight.

A weird man.

He was talking gibberish.

Are you feeling cold?

Remove this wet coat

Wrap a blanket.

Change into it.

...Go on, change.

- In your presence?

- I'll go out.

- Then go!

- I'm going. Don't shout.

Be a little polite.

...Strange girl!

I'll light a fire to warm us,

as well as dry the clothes.

- Why did you switch the light on?

- I don't like the darkness.

There is no darkness

with you around.

It's been 3 days

since we've come here...

...and your poems

still haven't come to an end.

My poem has just started.

This lovely weather...

The pitter patter of the rain....

And you in my arms...

I feel like reciting poems

forever and ever.

Vinu, why are you so worried?

What are you thinking about?

How will I face my father now?

Why? We haven't

done anything wrong.

No, Arun. We lost control.

Whatever happened was wrong.

We should have

controlled ourselves.

People are swept over

by their feelings sometimes.

We were also swept away.

But we haven't done anything

to be ashamed of.

We have been united before God.

We are man and wife

But... until we get married

in everyone's presence...

We will.

I'll go to Mathura tomorrow and

bring along my uncle and aunt.

And then we'll be married

within the week.

Please smile now.

Let's go.

Vinu, it's a strange thing.

We didn't know each other

until a few days ago.

And now we have become one.

And soon we shall become a trio.

- Stop it.

- What will you call him?

- I'll decide when it happens.

- How about the name Suraj?

- It's a good name for a boy.

Out firstborn will be a boy.

I'll take him

for a ride in my plane.

So that he too becomes a pilot

in the Indian Air Force.

A great pilot.

You'll have to fulfill

this dream. You will, won't you?

And also fix your wedding date.

Because I can't bear to see the

lost look and the restlessness.

And also get some "papads'

from Delhi. My stock is over.

- Okay.

- It's Vandana.

You stay put.

I'll convey your greetings.

So that's how it is already.

Greetings, sir!

You! Why did you

come this far so early?

- You're going far.

- It's only for two days.

You surely return day after

tomorrow, won't you?

Yes. And I'll bring uncle

to your house right away.

What will I do for two days?

Until I return...

...you can look at this.

They are our wedding photos.

Shall I go now?

I'm getting late.

- Anything else?

- No. Go and stand at the gate.

When you see them approaching

come and inform me.

- Is everything ready?

- Yes.

- I am a little late.

- Freshen up.

They will be arriving shortly.

- They have arrived.

- Go and inform father.

Madan! Haven't they come along?

- They couldn't make it.

- Why?

- I have some bad news.

- Bad news?

What happened?

Arun's plane has crashed.

He is seriously injured.

- Where is he?

- He is at the hospital.

- I have come to fetch you.

- Let's go.

When he regained consciousness

he asked for you.

And so I can only permit

you to see him.

The rest of you wait here.

...Come along, miss.

Vandana has come.

You have only 2 minutes.

Vinu, don't cry.

When my plane was descending...

...I thought that

I would never see you again.

I was facing death.

And I wanted to live.

For your sake

and the sake of our child.

You remember my dream, don't you?

You will have to fulfill it.

You will have to make him a pilot.

You will do it, won't you?

Don't speak. Rest quietly.

Our firstborn will be a boy.

But... I won't be

able to see him.

What are you saying?

You'll get well soon.

Whose shadow is this?

Yes, Arun.

Where is your father?

He is outside with Madan.

- Call him in.

- Don't speak.

- Vinu, I want to say something.

- You can say it later.

I don't have much time.

Don't say that.

You will be fine.

I want to tell him

that we are married.

In the temple

in the presence of God.

You can tell him later

when you feel better.

Perhaps I won't get

an opportunity later.

- Go and call him.

- All right.

- Father!

- What happened, my child?

What is it, son?

Yes, my son. What is it?

No!

No!

You're spoiling the memories

of Arun by crying like this.

He was an Indian Air Force pilot

whose life was always in danger.

Arun embraced death out of duty.

A person doesn't weep

upon the death of such a man.

A tribute should be offered.

You are right, Madan

I'll do my best...

I will never cry.

Among all the various sights,

this lake is the best.

- It is known as Lake Asha(wish).

- That's a very strange name.

It is believed if you throw a

coin and wish, it is fulfilled.

That's wonderful!

We should wish right away.

What did you wish for?

I have got everything

without wishing for it.

Where did you go?

I have been waiting for you.

You cannot lighten your grief

by torturing yourself.

You have to try to forget.

I have something to tell you.

Go on.

Why have you

switched off the light?

I won't be able

to say it in the light.

What is it?

I am pregnant.

Pregnant!

Vandana, don't cry.

We'll leave for

another place tomorrow.

- Where?

- To another town.

This is the only solution

to avoid dishonour.

Then we shall return

after a month or two.

No one will know.

Vandana, forget

your mistake forever.

No, father.

I cannot call this a mistake.

- I have to live for this child.

- What are you saying?

Society will never accept

an unmarried girl's child.

They will look

upon the child with hatred.

And since you

weren't married to Arun...

We got married in the temple.

But you did not marry publicly

so society will never accept it.

You have to consider

society and social customs.

My world is now a separate place

where I do not fear society.

You are not in your senses.

When your child grows up

people will taunt him.

They will malign you.
