my love's photograph...

just got a bend..

- to take a look at her?

This isn't fair, Gopal. Not fair.

This one? She's my classmate.

So you've swiped my college, eh?

She's your classmate?

- Yes. She returned from Kashmir...

just two days back to

join college again.

ln Delhi...?

- As if you aren't aware of it?

Will you just keep quarelling?

Wont you listen to me?

Let me see it, Sarla.

- Give him Sarla...

let my friend lose his wits.

- Here you are.

Well honey, intoxicated, aren't you?

Yes Ramesh, really.

l'm still on a high.

Tell me honestly, how's she?

- Pretty. Very pretty.

Ramesh, you can't find

another girl like her.

She's fallen for me,

but she won't say it.

That she came to the airport to

receive a friend...

was an excuse she made to

accompany me to the airport.

And you know,

no friend of hers came.

And now she comes to Delhi

for studies.

l think she's crazy about me.

But she's mum. ln fact,

she seems so sad.

And why not? She hasn't seen me

for sometime now.

Sarla, my lovely sister...

help me meet her.

- A meeting? lt'll cost, brother.

You will be paid, but please

help me meet her.

Gopal, won't you tell her?

All right, l'll try. But how about

giving me an advance?

Fine, l'll give you an advance.

But tell me, will you help me or not?

All right! l'll help you meet her.

l know you were offered much more

by bigger hospitals.

But you still joined our hospital,

for which we're very grateful to you.

l must thank you, doctor,

for waiting for me so long.

Must wait for a capable doctor.

lf you permit, shall l join duty?

- Why ask permission? You're in charge

Let's go, Dr Chopra,

Naseem!

What is it?

- lt was fun!

Remove your shoes.

Let me tell you something interesting.

- Tell me.

You know Usha? The Kashmiri girl?

- What's wrong with her?

She has fallen in love with someone.

- Really?

With whom?

- With brother Ramesh?

Ramesh? Who?

- My brother's friend. Our neighbour.

But don't you tell anyone.

- Well, why not to our friends?

Okay.

- Let's go and tell them.

What's this?

- Got to tell you something.

Really?

- Yes.

Really? Where is she?

- Let's go and find her.

We know you're a studious.

Let's go, come on.

When you fall in love...

the feeling is such...

crowd unnerves you...

and loneliness is friendly

How hard one has tried,

love has never been concealed

Love is a spell...

that makes you lose your senses

No one has control over love

Love is a mystery...

as unravelled as the lover's curls

Everywhere it spreads...

such is the fragrance of love

The sight of your beloved

makes you coy

Oh, strange love

Crowds unnerve you

Loneliness is friendly

When you are in love...

such is the feeling

The eyes tell a thousand tales

The wish lies stilled on her lips

Every breath kicks up a storm

And in the storm the heart sails

Desires keep welling up

Oh, this pain...

is killing

Defy, and disaster can be averted

But love is a disaster

hard to challenge

Eyes thirst for a glimpse

Crowd scares you

Loneliness is friendly

When you fall in love...

such is the feeling

Stop it! Why're you harassing me?

- Are we harassing you?

Aren't you in love?

ln love...? With whom?

- l know everything.

You've hooked Ramesh.

He's my brother.

He has told me everything.

- Ramesh...?

lt's all a lie.

What's wrong with her? She's upset.

- She's vain.

What's the matter with you?

Sarju...?

- Yes. D'you know him, Sarla?

Who is he to you?

- He's the one...

who has taken all l had.

lt's for him that l'm here.

Sarla, see him carefully.

He said he's from Okhla.

Have you seen him anywhere?

No Usha, l know no one called Sarju.

Who is it?

- Why've you locked the door brother?

Come in Sarla.

Well brother, what happened to

the girl you found in Kashmir?

You believed it too? lt was just

a prank that l played on Ramesh.

Prank?

- Yes, of course.

Really? She fell off a horse, and you

massaged her leg... also a joke?

She fell ill, you went to her in a

hakeem's disguise. Was that a joke?

Tell me honestly, who told you this?

- Usha.

Yes Usha did. On seeing the her photo

last night, you fell silent.

Just one question, brother.

Why did you cheat the poor girl?

Don't ask me this question.

Please don't.

For God's sake, forget everything.

- Really? You might tell everyone that

But maybe you've no idea

how hard it is forget.

How could you imagine that one word

from you will make her forget you?

Yes brother. Know why Usha is here?

Not for studies...

she's here to find her

Sarju of Okhla.

Brother, she's searching for you

in every nook and corner.

Why you ran away from her,

won't you tell her this much?

No Sarla, l never ran away

from anyone.

You don't know the truth, sister,

so please don't talk about it.

l know everything, brother.

l know the truth.

What do you know?

- Brother Ramesh must've surely...

written to you that he was coming over

to fix his wedding with Usha.

And just for your friend's sake,

before he could reach Kashmir...

you flew away to Pathankot.

- No Sarla, this isn't the truth.

Then what is the truth, brother?

Come out with it.

You think you're sacrificing your

happiness for the sake of a friend?

ln fact, you're sowing the seeds

of destruction in his house.

But l won't let this happen.

l'm going to tell Ramesh everything.

Don't you dare tell Ramesh!

lf you tell either Ramesh or Usha,

then upon my Ma l swear...

you won't see me alive.

- Brother!

Doctor, congratulations on landing

the job. Where are the sweets?

Shameless! You took charge of

the hospital, but won't you treat...

What's the matter, Gopal?

Nothing, Ramesh. Sit.

But why is Sarla in tears?

l'm asking you! Why is she crying?

Sarla, did he say something?

Tell me, what's wrong?

Nothing brother.

- Nothing...?

There is something. For the first

time in life, l'm being ignored.

All right, l'm going. Sorry.

- No brother.

Then what's the matter?

Gopal, for God's sake, say something.

Brother Gopal lied to us that

he never met a girl in Kashmir.

What he wrote to you was true. But he

has deceived the girl. He ran away.

Ran away? Why?

- Because he...

Don't Sarla!

- Oh, what do l do?

Don't weep, for God's sake don't.

Gopal, is it true?

l'm asking you! ls it true?

Answer me, Gopal.

Ramesh, don't ask me,

l can't answer.

You can't answer me?

Gopal, have l become a stranger?

- No Ramesh.

Your friendship is dearer

to me than life.

But l'm helpless.

You call me a friend, but you

know not what friendship means!

Even if my blood can come

of any use to you...

l shall shed every drop of my blood

for your sake.

lf your blood could rid me

of my anguish...

l'd have taken it,

without your consent.

Not even your blood can help.

- Then whose blood will help?

l swear Gopal, if someone has

come in your way, l'll kill him!

No Ramesh, nothing as such.

Then? Did the girl betray you?

- No.

Her family isn't in favour?

- Not that, Ramesh!

Then what's the matter?
