Cigarette Page #9

---

Look, brother.

A mother bears all the pain

carries the baby for nine months

and raises it.

She washes, raises, gives bath

protects, feeds

and comforts the baby.

But when we grow old,

we fail to acknowledge our parents.

We can't return even 10 percent

of the efforts she put it in.

I will state a fact.

No matter how much money you have

you might be able to buy anything

you want in this world

but you can never buy a mother.

"Mother." - Mother! - Yes, Son.

- What happened, Mother?

Nothing serious, Son.

- "Mother."

I had cough for a few days, right?

Since it was very cold yesterday,

I'm down with a bit of fever.

I didn't sleep as well.

That's why I fell unconscious

from weakness.

That's why they got me here, Son.

- What did the doctor say?

What will he say?

He said something about cancer.

- What?

I told the doctor that we're poor

and that we don't have money.

Wait!

Take this.

Take it.

This is a hospital.

Smoke is prohibited inside.

Go out and smoke.

Go!

What is it, boy?

- Mother!

What happened, Son?

I am such a sinner!

I am not worthy to be your son!

I should take care of you

like a queen at this age!

You are earning day and night

to raise me!

Mother!

Don't cry, Son.

Don't cry.

Don't worry.

Nothing will happen to me.

Nothing will happen to me.

Death is certain, isn't it?

I will die someday.

But I am not worried

that I am going to die!

I am worried about who is going

to take care of you after I die!

The doctor is here.

The doctor!

Doctor..

Doctor..

My mother is fine, isn't she?

I thought she was an orphan.

Tell me,

how can I say there is no problem

when there certainly is a problem?

Your mother appears to be

in a very critical stage.

This is a result

of passive smoking.

Meaning,

she has inhaled second-hand smoke

from people who smoked cigarettes.

Hence, her lungs and organs

are badly damaged.

Let's see what will happen.

Doctor, I am willing to do

anything for my mother.

Tell me what to do!

Please save her, Doctor.

Wait..

Cancer is hard to cure.

But the treatment and medicines

are going to be very expensive.

You must arrange money.

We'll try our best.

And God will take care of the rest.

I want to tell you something.

Don't misunderstand me.

It would have been far better

if you weren't born and

your mother was barren. - What!

"God travelled though the earth."

"He noticed the pain in the world."

"So he planned

to redress the grievances."

"Then he gave up

saying it's impossible."

"In the end, he created mother."

"Mother..

Even Brahma has no mother."

"Mother..

But we have a mother."

"In the desert of pain"

"I have found the sweet ocean."

"On your death, oh, Mother"

"I am struck by

a lightening of draught."

"Oh, God!"

"Oh, God!"

"Make a note of this in your book."

"You have no mercy

even in your dreams."

"Mother..

Even Brahma has no mother."

"Mother..

But we have a mother."

Hello.

Why are you crying?

Is it because you didn't find

money to smoke cigarettes?

I have nobody in this world

other than my mother, sir!

Now, I'm prepared to even beg

to save her, sir!

Nobody has ever prospered

and nor will they ever prosper

if they hurt a mother.

Bear that in mind.

- Sir!

I will close the cigarette shop

earn a living and take care

of my mother, sir!

I swear by my mother, sir!

I swear I will take care of her.

Mother!

If your son should transform back

to the way he was earlier

then you will have to play along

like I tell you.

Listen, if he really loves you,

he will quit all vices

and live responsibly.

No, dear.

I suffered a lot

after losing him for a year.

You don't know about him.

He's short tempered and rude.

If he learns the truth

he will throw me

out of the house.

Let him throw you out!

Am I not your son?

I will take care of you!

Take her with you.

Son. - Hereafter, I will

take good care of you, come!

Well done, Mr. Raj.

- Thank you, Doctor.

You made a spoiled brat realise

the value of a mother.

Moreover,

I had never lied in my profession

but you made me lie to him

that she has cancer.

Your lie helped a mother

revive her son

and helped a son get back

a mother.

You're the real doctor

to the society. - Thank you.

Wish you all the best.

- Thank you, Doctor.

Looks like the lady

is furious. - Hey, mister!

Well, if there is a traffic jam

all over Bangalore

what will be the plight

of people who wait for us?

If you continue this,

I will initiate a strike

in front of the CM's house!

PM..

Bad luck.

Your laughter is endearing.

It's because of this very laughter

of girls

that boys fall for them

and insist on being with them.

What's up?

You asked me to come urgently.

Congratulations.

- Me?

I had mailed NTC and WHO

in detail about your work.

They have replied saying that

they will support your work.

Wow! Wonderful.

Superb.. Thank you..

That's why elders have said

that girls are very fast.

If we boys dream about paradise

you girls directly

step into paradise.

I am very pleased.

Please..

Dear!

Just once!

Nobody will know!

Please, dear.

- No way.

Please, dear!

- Lo, there comes a thief!

Don't be afraid!

I will take care of everything!

Just agree. - Hey..

- I'll take care of it! - Hey!

What are you people doing here?

What is your problem?

We both are lovers.

We are romancing. She is my love,

affection and romance..

Hey, stop it!

Who is this guy?

He is my car driver

and a close friend of hers.

They both are close friends.

- Hey, come her.

Who among the two of them

do you love?

He has a lot of money.

He's a big person.

He is my lover.

This is his car driver.

Security, a small person.

He likes me very much.

So he is like my lover too.

Do you manage both of them?

Shame on you!

Hell with your love!

Instead of keeping your love

a secret

you have confused it,

adulterated it

and are sharing it like

sharing a photo on bluetooth!

Do you know what she's been doing?

She's facing you while talking..

Clever girl!

Instead of living with her

and making her pregnant

you are making the entire country

look at you and puke!

Get out of here! You fools!

Shame on you! - That's why I said

we'll go to Nandi hills.

Hey! Wait up!

A computer can be attacked

by virus.

And a heart can be attacked

by love.

When I look at you, I feel you

must have been duped in love too.

Tell me what it is.

- Oh, there's nothing like that.

Reliving my flashback

is like watching a horrible movie

in a worn out theatre.

Then you'll have to rub

a pain relief balm to your heart.

In that case

you will never fall in love again,

will you? - No chance!

There's nothing called love!

There's no room for love,

in my life.

There is only room

for your bliss, joy and happiness.

Thanks. You're very different.

Life in itself is very different.

Please come.

'On Big FM, you're listening

to 45 minutes of..'

Boss, I've not had

a drag since morning.

Please give me the cigarette.
