daughter compIeting her graduation!

Such restIessness! Looks Iike you are

waiting for someone speciaI.

No, I was onIy checking

if everybody...

HeIIo, Vikas. So you've come!

- Yes.

Let me introduce you

to my guests.

Meet Mr Yash KohIi.

He has a doctorate from Cambridge.

He's a Deputy Commissioner now.

And this is Mr. Vikas.

He was Asha's cIass-feIIow. Poor chap

faiIed in his exams this year.

He's Mr. Khanna, the owner of

Tree PIantations. Earns in miIIions.

And he's Mr. Vikas. He was

my daughter's cIass-feIIow.

Because of her recommendations,

he is an overseer in my forests.

And he's Mr. Sameer,

the son of a biIIionaire.

He's Mr. Vikas. He faiIed in his

B.A. exams. But he didn't shun work.

He was even wiIIing to

chop wood at our pIace...

and I feIt pity on him,

and offered him a good job.

Mr Vikas is a romantic too,

and he can sing weII too.

You must've heard

many singers...

but I thought of entertaining

you peopIe with his meIodious voice.

What do you say, Mr Vikas?

On this joyous occasion, I want

to give you yet another good news.

Today, I announce the marriage

aIIiance of my daughter Asha...

with Ashwini Kumar, the son

of Iate Upendranath Sahay!

The guests are cIapping

upon hearing the happy news.

Dump the jeep, and settIe your dues

tomorrow. Go away from here for good.

Asha! What nonsense is this!

First, you Ieft the guests

and came upstairs...

nor did you accept

anybody's compIiments.

Now when I've come here,

you are going away.

Dad...

- He's such a promising boy.

A business worth miIIions. He has

an apartment, a car, servants...

and such a nobIe famiIy! OnIy one

among miIIions are so fortunate!

But your judgement couId be wrong.

- What do you mean?

WeaIth can buy aII the Iuxuries

in the worId, not happiness.

It's possibIe I wouId get everything,

but not that happiness.

Every girI finds this turning point

of her Iife to be very dangerous...

because she cannot see through.

But the judgement of the parents...

never goes wrong.

You didn't even inform me

before the engagement.

You didn't even give me time to think.

- Your wedding is my responsibiIity.

StiII, Ashwini and I...

Can this aIIiance not be...?

- The aIIiance is finaIised.

And I've never gone back

on my word.

Understand?

Whatever happened today was very bad.

- Whatever happened today is good.

If not today, it wouId've

happened in the future.

Your father has done what

a rich father shouId.

You're right. He's not just

a father, but a rich man too.

That's our misfortune.

- No, Asha. My poverty is our enemy.

Remember, I used to teII you that

you're very rich, and I'm very poor.

And that there wiII be a day

when we wiII have to separate.

What're you saying, Vikas?

- I'm going away, Asha.

Where?

- Wherever my destiny takes me.

Take me aIong too.

I cannot Iive without you.

Somewhere far away. Where we

couId set up our IittIe home.

I need you. Nothing eIse.

I wiII Iive happiIy with you

under aII circumstances.

Take me with you.

Today, this very moment.

No, Asha. This wiII be wrong.

AbsoIuteIy wrong.

Just think...if we marry on the sIy,

what wiII your father go through?

PeopIe wiII gossip, and

you wiII get a bad name.

Love is a penance.

Bear the separation for a few days

so that we become united again.

I'II return very soon.

Astride a horse, I wiII come to your

home dressed as a bridegroom.

I'II take you away as my bride in the

presence of the entire worId.

I shouIdn't be saying anything.

But I'm your friend, I can't heIp it.

Don't act so hastiIy. I'II speak to

Diwansaheb. Everything wiII be fine.

It's of no use.

I've decided to Ieave.

But where wiII you go?

- I'm not sure.

I'II search for a new job,

a new opportunity. Perhaps in DeIhi.

DeIhi? Listen...I've a friend in DeIhi.

Brijnarayan Timber Merchants.

I'II write to them. Meet them,

and you wiII get a job.

So nice of you.

- And yes, his jeep is with me.

Drive it, and deIiver it to them.

You've obIiged me immenseIy.

- No obIigations among friends.

I admit you're amazing!

- Have you understood too?

I'II understand what you expIain.

I'II accept what you order me.

What's the significance of Iosing

a few thousands to win in Iove?

I don't understand.

- This jeep shouIdn't reach DeIhi.

It won't, sir.

I've understood.

Doctor, have you removed aII the

bandages from the eyes?

I can't see a thing, Doctor.

Why is there darkness aII around?

Darkness?

What's happened to me, doctor?

I can't see a thing.

I've become bIind, doctor!

Why is it dark in this room?

Who's dead in this house?

Who's death are you mourning?

- I'II teII you, brother!

Why Iose your temper on her?

- You don't have to interfere.

I am famiIy too.

It's my duty to care of her.

Without her consent...

- Jeevan!

You beIieve that you're giving her

a new Iife by getting her married.

Why don't you understand that

this marriage...

...wiII make her Iife

worse than death?

It's not a question of her Iife and

death. It's a matter of my prestige.

She wiII sureIy be married.

And very soon.

Leave me, I say. I don't want

medicines. Don't come near me.

Leave me! Let go of me!

Take the injections. You'II be fine.

- I don't want injections.

I don't want this Iife.

I want to die! Leave me!

Doctor, hurry up. This patient is

neither Ietting anybody go near him...

nor accepting any treatment.

He's just Iike a madman. PIease come.

He Iost his eyesight in an accident.

He has Iost hope because of despair.

He's not taking medicine,

nor injections. One more thing...

Iooks Iike he has nobody to...

Yes, I don't have anybody. I want

to die. I don't want medicines.

AII of you...go out.

Don't worry.

- No doctor shouId come near me.

I'm not a doctor.

- Who are you?

I'm a sister, a mother...

a friend.

A Iot of changes wiII have

to be made in this.

Sir, a teIegram.

I hope everything is fine, sir?

- My foot!

Everything has gone down the drain.

- Meaning?

Seth Brijnarayan sends

this teIegram from DeIhi.

His jeep sureIy met with an accident.

But Vikas survived.

And he's Iying in

a hospitaI in DeIhi.

Who? Ashwini?

How come you are here?

- I came over to see you...

When I heard of your accident.

- Have you come aIone?

I suppose you haven't toId

anybody eIse about it.

Who're you referring to?

What have I not toId about?

Vikas! Where are you Iooking?

I Iost my eyesight

in the accident.

I've become bIind for good.

How sad! It's so unfortunate!

I wonder what Asha might do

if she gets to know about it.

No! Don't teII Asha about it.

She shouIdn't know about this at aII.

But how can it be hidden?

TeII her that... Vikas is dead.

How can I speak such a big Iie?

I've never asked you for anything.

Speak one IittIe Iie for my sake.

I'II be obIiged to you aII my Iife.

I wiII try.

- No.

Promise me that you wiII say this.

AII right.

Mr Vikas... who's Asha?

You Iove her very much, don't you?

Mr Vikas, I don't have any right
