Aradhana Page #6

I had asked for an old nurse

and not someone like her.

Only a woman who has a baby

knows how to care for one.

I know how to care for a baby.

Give me an opportunity, you'll

have no cause for complaint.

The doctor said the same thing

and highly recommended her.

But, why are you

in praises of her.

It is very difficult

to get a qualified nurse.

She is hapless

and she needs a job.

Give him to me.

I'll quieten him.

Give him to her.

Be careful.

Do you see that? He's quiet now.

He is a darling boy.

He won't cry.

- What have you named him?

- I like the name Suraj.

Your name is Suraj(sun).

Suraj, keep shining always.

Just in the day or else everyone

will have to keep awake at night.

You rest now. I'll take him outside.

No, give him to me.

He shouldn't get more familiar

with his nurse than his mother.

You may go now.

I'll call you when I need you.

Come, I'll show you

to your room.

My darling son.

In spite of being so close

to your son I am so far away.

How will I fulfil your dream?

I am alone. Who will help me?

Your son.

You've already given up?

You will always

have to face misfortune...

...for the sake of your son.

Keep him with you for a while.

Return him before my wife

wakes up.

All right.

Do you recognise me?

I am your mother.

You have to fulfil

your father's dream.

You have to become a pilot.

A great pilot.

Do you understand?

You will become a pilot,

won't you?

Today you are alone

with your mother after a year.

Call me mother at least once.

Call me mother.

You can't speak now.

You will say it when

you are big, won't you?

My darling son!

When you grow up you'll become the king of

the sky... like your father.

Won't you?

- Hi, sister!

- Shyam, it's you!

- What a surprise!

- Didn't you get my cable?

No. That's where this country lags behind.

Nothing happens on time.

Anyway... I have come along

instead of the telegram.

You've changed so much.

The whole world has changed

but your house is still the same.

Now that I have come I shall

modernise the whole house.

Crazy man!

See what I have brought for you.

I have brought you

hair spray and perfume.

And this is for the little one.

Where is he?

- I haven't seen my nephew.

- I'll call him.

- Where did you take him?

- I had taken him to the park.

His uncle has come

and he wants to meet him.

Yes, I have been waiting

since a long time.

He has grow so big.

And quite good looking too.

- Is Suraj always with you?

- Yes.

Vandana, take him inside.

Listen...

Take Suraj to my room.

I have brought him lots of toys.

- You?

- I came to photograph the sunrise...

...but the beautiful moon has risen.

- Moon?

Yes. A beautiful girl like you

is known as the moon.

You shouldn't speak like that.

This is where

our country lags behind.

- It's time to give Suraj his milk.

- You have misunderstood me.

I just wanted

to take a picture of you.

- My picture?

- Yes.

- Stand in this position.

- Wait. I'll be back in a moment.

- Uncle will take a picture?

- Yes.

Take my picture with Suraj.

I thought that you had gone to

change and apply some make up.

- Please hurry up.

- All right.

- When will I get the picture?

- By tomorrow evening.

- Will you give me a copy?

- Not just a copy...

...I'll give you anything you want.

- Let's go.

- Listen... Oh, dear!

What are you doing in my room?

- I have been waiting since long.

- For what?

Fear not for I just came

to show you the picture.

Thank you for the picture.

But, it is not right for you

to be in my room at night.

Why not?

I am a servant and

I am unworthy of speaking to you.

This is where

our country lags behind.

In Europe there are

no class distinctions.

There, anyone can

fall in love with anybody.

You should be ashamed

of speaking like that.

I am just like you.

Both of us are alone.

- Go away!

- Both of us are young.

- I beg of you.

- It is give and take.

- Let go of me!

- I have pleased you so you please me now.

Get out or I'll scream.

If you scream, sister will wake

up and she'll throw you out.

And I don't want you

to leave so soon.

I don't take offence

when a girl slaps me.

I jot down her name in my diary.

And I settle my accounts

with her someday.

I'm going out and

I shall be a little late.

It's time for Suraj

to return from school.

Make some juice for him. One more thing ...

There's no one at home so take care.

- Oh, it's you!

- Yes.

- Isn't sister at home?

- No, she has gone out.

- Out!

I telephoned sister

and sent her out.

You? Why?

Do you remember what

I had told you the other day?

I don't take offence

when a girl slaps me.

I will write down her name in my diary.

And then I settle my accounts someday.

That day has come.

Stay away!

Don't come closer.

I've yearned for you.

- But I shall make you mine today.

- I beg at your feet. Please leave me.

But I want to embrace you instead.

How much longer

will you avoid me?

Leave me!

Let me go! Please!

Help!

Uncle, open the door!

- Let go of nurse!

- Help!

Help!

Let go of her!

- I won't let you go today.

- Let go of me!

Uncle, let go of her!

Uncle!

Don't worry, son.

Nothing has happened.

You haven't seen anything.

You don't know what happened.

Come with me.

Go to your room

and change your clothes.

You don't know anything

about this...

...and don't tell anyone

anything. Do it for my sake. Go!

How did this glass break?

- What has happened to Shyam?

- Oh God! He's bleeding.

- Brother! Blood!

- What happened?

Who has killed my brother?

You! You have killed my brother.

You have killed my brother.

Ask her if she has

killed my brother. Ask her.

Did you do it?

Yes. I have killed him.

- How are you and how is sister?

- Everyone is fine.

Your son is also fine.

How did this happen?

I never thought that

I would see you in this state.

You didn't even allow me

to hire a lawyer for you.

Do you know that you could be sentenced to 14 years imprisonment.

I know.

I have committed murder

and I deserve to be punished.

Look at me, Vandana.

A murderer cannot look

into anyone's eyes like that.

His face

doesn't show such dignity.

Vandana, I had only seen stone

idols of Gods and Goddesses.

Now I can see a living Goddess

in the form of a human...

...in the form of a mother.

What are you saying?

Please don't embarrass me.

Any mother would have done

the same to save her son.

That's fine but how are you

going to spend 14 years in jail.

How will you stay away

from you son?

I trust you.

I believe that you will

raise him as your own son.

That you will spare no expenses

for his education.

And someday he will become

a great Air Force pilot.

14 years is not a long time.

It will pass quickly.

When I am released

my son will be 22 years old.

I'll forget all my troubles

when I see him.

Besides making your son

a good person and a good pilot...

...I will teach him

something else too.

- What?

- I'll teach him to worship you.
