And then one day your son
will ask you about his father.
What will you answer?
You cannot commit a wrong
in order to stand by a wrong.
I have your best interests in
mind. Tomorrow we shall leave...
No, father. I have
made my decision.
As long as I live
And I shall face
every problem and difficulty.
All right.
If you have such courage I pray
that God may help you always.
Welcome!
Hello!
- Are you Arun's uncle?
- Yes.
We have come from Bagdogra.
I am Gopal Tripathi and
this is my daughter, Vandana.
- Please be seated.
- Have a seat, Vandana.
On the day of the accident
I received Arun's telegram...
...saying that he was coming.
And in the afternoon we received
the news that he was no more.
Did Arun write to you
about Vandana?
No.
Arun often came to our home.
My daughter and he fell
in love with each other.
- And they got married.
- Married?
And now she is
bearing Arun's child.
It's surprising that
Arun did not tell me anything.
He always took my advice.
How did he marry
without informing me?
Excuse me, dear.
Please come inside.
Please excuse me for a moment.
- What is the matter?
- Come, I'll tell you.
- What happened?
- Get rid of that old man...
... and his daughter.
- What are you saying?
I have heard everything.
After Arun's death we have,
inherited all his property.
Do you want to accept this girl
and return Arun's share?
My husband has fallen ill
suddenly. You may leave.
Please don't say that.
This is your daughter-in-law.
Daughter-in-law!
Whose daughter-in-law?
My obedient nephew wouldn't
even step out without asking us.
How could he marry
without my permission?
When and where did this marriage
occur, and in whose presence?
- In God's presence.
- Wonderful!
The marriage took place in God's presence.
And the man whom she married is no more.
No witnesses and no evidence!
I wonder whose sin
she is imposing on us?
No. Please believe us.
This is Arun's child.
My daughter and her child
are your family.
Stop this nonsense!
The girls in our family don't
bring a child before marriage.
Take away this sinner from here.
I beg of you. Please have pity
on her condition.
Where will she go
if you don't accept her?
Anywhere. There are rivers
and railway tracks.
And if you are her father
why don't you poison her?
I'm sorry.
Please don't say anything more.
When the Lord
has not spared her...
...I was wrong to expect
sympathy from a human being.
I apologise for
wasting your time.
God bless you!
Let's go, my child.
- Sit, my child.
- You go along, father.
Leave me to my destiny.
You were insulted because of me.
It would have been better
if I had died.
No, my child.
Why are you saying this?
Why did God keep me alive?
Why didn't I die
along with Arun?
My child, you must
fulfill his dream.
You seem to be hiding some grief.
You can confide in me.
You will feel much better
if you share your sorrows.
I might be able to help you.
No one can help me
but I'll tell you.
I'll tell you everything.
Orphanage.
Why do you worry?
You'll be separated from him
only until the morning.
The office will open at 9 a.m.
You can come and adopt him then.
Then your son will become yours
legally... Come.
Come.
I would like to adopt a child.
- You! Are you married?
- No.
Normally it is childless couples
who adopt a child.
I have no one and
I feel very lonely so...
I understand. Come along.
All the infants
are in this room.
He is a year old.
- I want this baby.
- But he's so small.
I like this child.
You will have great difficulty
in raising such a small baby.
of a small baby, doesn't she?
If you like him
how can I object?
Give the baby to the nurse.
Come to my office.
- Do you know what a baby needs?
- No.
I'll give you a list.
Here is a list of all the things
that are required.
Buy these things. Meanwhile,
I'll prepare the forms.
- I'm sorry.
- It's all right.
I have brought more articles
than those in the list.
This is known as
a twist of fate.
The baby you had selected is
not destined to have all this.
What!
A man came after you left.
His wife gave birth to a
stillborn for the third time.
If she were told this she won't live. The only one
way to save her was to give her another child.
And so you gave him my baby?
You will get another child.
But it was a matter of
life and death for that woman.
Her need was greater than yours.
No. How can I explain?
You've made a great blunder.
You are worrying unnecessarily.
Come and select another child.
No. I want that baby.
Who has that baby?
They have legally adopted
the baby. You can't get him now.
Please give me
their name and address.
All right.
- You adopted a child
yesterday, right? - What!
I had already chosen that baby.
He was given to you erroneously.
That's my baby. I want him back.
Please...
Stop! Come inside.
Come... Sit.
Now tell me calmly about
who you are and what you want.
- Aren't you Ram Prasad Saxena?
- Yes.
My name is Vandana and
I want the baby you adopted.
Why?
- Because I am his mother.
- You?
If you are his mother
how did he reach the orphanage?
I had kept him there.
I had no choice.
His father died
before his birth.
And we weren't married
according to social norms.
I was forced to leave my son
at the orphanage...
...so that I could
adopt him legally the next day.
Believe me. It's true.
I can prove that
I am his mother.
I can fetch the nurse
from the hospital.
That won't be necessary.
I believe you.
Give me back my son.
He is the only reason I'm alive.
He is the last remembrance
of my husband.
- Let him grow up in our home.
- Never!
It's no use arguing.
You are a single woman.
You will face problems at
every stage while raising him.
But you won't be able
to face them.
I am more aware than you are
Does this mean that
you won't give me my baby?
He will never lack anything
in this home.
His every need
will be taken care of.
He will have a father
and not one but two mothers.
Now you decide whether or not
your son should live here.
You are right but,
how will I live without him?
How can I stay away from him?
Maybe you didn't hear correctly.
He will have two mothers.
You will always be with us, and
your son will be close to you.
He'll be near...
But what about your wife?
I will have to
explain to her somehow.
I'll do that but I want you
to promise me something.
- No one should learn that
he is your son. - But...
You will have to make this
promise for your son's sake.
- I promise. And I'm grateful...
- That's not necessary.
Wipe away your tears
and come with me.
Why is he crying?
What is the matter with him?
I don't know.
He won't stop crying.
- Give him to me.
- No.
- Who is she?
- She's been sent by the doctor.
You said you were weak and
needed a nurse for the baby.
