Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge Page #8

l was thinking of kuljit and raj

getting married at the same time

What was that?

lt's final!

. raj, are you happy?

Give me a sweet! quick!

My son is happy!

Now you're marrying Preeti.

Her brother is kuljit...

the one who's about to marry Simran.

And you love Simran. Not Preeti

What was Preeti doing in London?

. Not Preeti. ln London, it was Simran

Yes, Simran... who's this Simran?

. Pops! Just give up thinking! Please

Can anything be done without

giving it a thought?

l'm here. Everything will be alright.

. By now, it's done already!

Wedding must be done right away!

Good deed can't wait! Why did you come?

lt was a mistake! Won't happen again.

l'll tell them that l forgot...

about your mother's death

anniversary.

Matter laid to rest for a month

May l come in?

. Sure, come right in

You're going to live very long.

raj and l were just talking of you

Sit

You sit too. Milk for me?

Thank you!

Tomorrow's karwa Chauth.

. What's karwa Chauth?

l'd like to keep fast for

raj's well.being. May l...?

Sure, no problem!

. karwa Chauth, Pops...?

karwa Chauth...? No! Never!

Why...?

. We consider it a bad omen...

for a girl to observe the ritual

for her husband before her marriage

Besides my child, we can't discuss

the liaison for a month

lt was during this month

that raj's mother passed away

We have to fix another date forthe

wedding. Let's talk to your father

Ajit...

raj, you know what day

it is tomorrow?

What's it now?

. My first karwa Chauth

l want you to give me water and

food after my fast

Hands off.

. What?

l told you. Hands off

Simran, if you don't love me, just

tell me straight. l'll go away

Then you can marry kuljit. lt's going

to save me this everyday melodrama

ls it something l said?

. But you never say anything, no?

l want you to give me water and

feed me the first morsel...

of food after my fast

Are you out of your mind? You expect

me to make a grand entry saying...

''Hi Simran! l'm your husband.to.be!

Here, take a drink of water''

l don't care!

l'll even die of hunger!

But the first drink of water,

and the first morsel of food,...

you will feed me! Get it?

Just like her father

So why should l be

the butt of the joke?

You're uniQue, Mr Malhotra.

Your dress doesn't indicate...

your affinity to Hindustan.

. The dress has fooled even you?

l keep Hindustan in my heart.

. Wonderful!

Wonderful...?

Ajit was saying you're here

to set up a factory?

The factory is just an excuse.

lf you ask me the truth...

l'm here to choose a bride for raj

Then men are all out

in the outhouse

They say, they don't want

to disturb us on Ladies' Day

Are you keeping a fast too?

. Yes

May you live long, my child.

My kuljit is lucky to get...

a bride like you. Come

Ma.ji, this is my Pops. Father

Your son has cast a spell

over everyone here

That's my son

l'll join you

Pops, this is...

. l know

She can only be Simran

May you live long

No one even watches his step.

Hold this. The flowers...!

''Let it rain flowers!''

''My beloved is here''

kammo, where are the flowers?

Hurry up

l'm raj's father. From London.

. From London...?

Actually from Bhatinda. But l've

been in London for many years. You?

l'm Simran's Aunt.

. You can't be!

What...?

. You could be her sister

Listen... aren't you keeping fast?

. No. l'm still a maiden

Nothing could've been better.

. What...?

One of your flowers.

. Maybe it's for you. keep it

When is the moon going to rise?

l'm starving

l hope it kills you.

Did l ask you to fast?

Eat this on the sly.

No one's looking

Don't

The moon is up.

. Where?

There

''On this night of prayer

forthe wedded woman...''

''l look at the moon,

l pray with folded hands''

''Then l break my fast''

''Give me the water, take your slave

for your Queen''

''Tonight, give me what l desire''

''Come home o'wanderer,

your beloved beckons''

What happened?

. Water

Simi, my child

. Drink water

What happened? What happened to her?

. She swooned

Get up. Come, my child

What happened?

. lt's all right. She just swooned

lt's nothing. Come on, let's eat

She's so fragile, no?

Why are you anxious?

Are you fasting too?

No...

. Then come along

lt isn't easy for him to get away.

Everyone's asking for raj all the time

He won't be able to come, Didi.

Please, eat something

l won't! l'd rather die starving.

. very well, kill yourself

l'm sorry, l'm late. But what to do?

They weren't about to leave me

lt was tough getting away.

Here, eat

Eat it

l said l'm sorry. Now eat.

Else, you'll swoon for real

Chutki, tell him there's no need

for him to worry for me

l was about to faint of hunger.

And there he was, filling his stomach

Anyway, it's my first karwa Chauth.

Why should he get so worked up?

Whether l live or die,

is he bothered?

You don't know this. But raj hasn't

eaten anything all day either

He wanted to break fast with you.

And he told me not to tell you

Sorry raj, but l couldn't

keep shut any longer

Come here

Talking to me?

. Come here

l got carried away.

. No matter, Senorita

ln big places,

such small things happen

My turn Senorita. Feed me

l told you, not to betray my trust.

Simran hasn't forgotten him yet?

lf she remembers,

she'll regret it

What happened to me won't

happen to my daughter

No more sacrifices at every step

as daughter, as sister, as wife

She'll live life as she wishes.

She'll have her share of happiness

Come in

keep this

Ma, this...?

. Not a word! l know everything

l've seen everything. raj is the one

you met in Europe. l know

l also know, the two of you

love each other dearly

l was wrong Simran! My daughter

won't sacrifice her happiness

She isn't going to sacrifice

her love

l know raj, you'll make my daughter

very happy. You have my blessings

Take my daughter away.

Leave

No one here cares for your love.

Take her away from here

l'll take care of everything.

. No Ma.ji

l don't want to hear anything! No!

Please go away from here!

l beg of you, son!

. l will Ma.ji. l'll take her away

Come... sit here

keep this

Ma.ji, l was a little boy

when my mother passed away

But whatever l am today,

is because of her

To this day l haven't forgotten

something she said. She'd say...

''Son, at every turn in life, you'll

find two roads. One right, one wrong''

''The wrong route will be easy, it

will draw you. But the right path...''

''will be hard, with lots of haZards,

a lot many troubles''

''On the wrong road, initially, you

might find success, happiness''

''But in the end, you will lose.

upon the right path, initially...''

''you may trip at every step, you may

face haZards, difficulties.''

But...in the end,

you will always win''

Now you tell me, Ma.ji. Am l

on the right, or in the wrong?

Yourway is absolutely right, son.

But you don't know my husband

And Ma.ji, your husband

doesn't know me

lf l wanted to elope with Simran,

l could've done it already

But l want to be given Simran.
