l can sue you for this

in Court.

Well, Mr Daaga, you will have to

produce evidence for this smack.

How can l help you in this

matter?

Vijay is a close friend ofyours.

He is. But he is a responsible

police officer.

l can't interFere in this matter.

And what do you think?

Will he let you go scot-free

if l tell him?

That l am his friend, doesn't mean

that l have bought him out.

lfyou haven't done it yet,

do it now. l am with you.

Meaning?

Here's 1 ,OOO,OOO in this bag.

Tell me ifyou think

the price is less.

There is no price for Vijay.

My friend is priceless.

You can't buy his honesty.

Not even for 10 million.

My friend is a man of principles.

Amazing! He is the first lawyer

l have seen in my life...

...whose hobby is to fly an

airplane.

Flying isn'tjust an hobby for Ravi.

It is his life's first romance.

His first love.

Tell me something.

- Go ahead.

Even you must have had

a first love, hadn't you?

Yes. l did have a girlfriend.

But why do you ask?

Just nothing.

Was she in your college?

-Oh yes. In college...in my class.

What was her name?

The name was... Meenakshi.

Meenakshi Chatterjee.

Eveyone used to call her

her as Meena with love

Did you call her that too?

- No.

ln college l was a shyster.

l was scared to talk to girls.

But this girl was vey...

Anay, forget it.

What use digging up the past?

Exactly. No use.

Was she beautiful?

Yes, she was nice.

Roundish face. Large eyes.

Long tresses.

Now that you mention her,

l think she was quite exotic.

And so you fell for her?

- Who, me? Forget it.

At the beginning l never

used to look at her.

But one day something

strange happened, and...

Forget it. Why dig up the past?

- Right. No use.

So you were saying...

what happened that day?

What day... yes, that day

...it so happened...

ARer college, l find only Meenakshi

standing at the bus-stop.

l didn't mind her. Like me she

must've come to catch a bus.

There was a silence.

All of sudden she.said, ''Excuse

me'

l said, yes please?

She said, ''My watch isn't working.

Could you tell me the time?''

l know. This is an outdated idea

to start a conversation.

Quite possible her watch

must have stopped working.

You are unnecessarily suspecting her.

- No need to advocate for her.

What happened next?- What

else? l told her the time.

Again there was a silence.

There was no sign ofthe bus.

l decided to walk. l had just

put a step ahead and she said...

''Listen''.

-l said, yes, tell me.

She said, ''You are leaving me

alone over here''

''l am scared to be alone.

Can you drop me home?''

Why? Was the bus-stop in a forest?

-Not exactly. But she was afraid.

l told her to come along.

Then we started walking.

l felt like the poor thing

was a bit tired.

You know there are benches

on the footpath, don't you?

l told her to sit down for a few

moments. She sat down.

Then l saw that

she was staring at me.

l asked Meena whatthe matter

WaS.

You know what she said? She said,

''Vijay are you cross with me?

l said, come on, why would

l be angy with you?

Why do you think like this,

Meena?

She said, ''Vijay, why do you

always remain far from me?

''You never even give me a look''

And then when l gave her a look,

do you know what l saw, Sheetal?

l saw mo large drops oftears

in her large eyes.

That moment l realised that this girl

Ioves me from within her heart.

She considers me to be her god.

l said... Meena don't, l can't bear

to see tears in your eyes.

For my sake wipe it. Please!

Excuse me.

This isn't your Meena's arm.

lt's mine. And you don't

have to touch it.

Why are you furious?

- Why should l be?

lf l tell something about Meenakshi,

you will cool down at this moment.

Never in my life have l come

across a girl named Meenakshi.

And this stoy...

l just concocted it. How is it?

Let's not fight.

Ravi is coming.

Hello, Ravi

-Hi, buddy!

What brings Sheetal here?

- Actually...

l came to see you. Just you.

That's vey kind ofyou. Or l

don't deserve such attention.

You are wrong, Mr Ravi.

Person like you...

...who respects others' sentiments

are rare to find nowadays.

Do you really mean it?

- Of course.

People lie unabashedly. Why must

l hesitate to tell the truth?

You are really a nice person.

l feel proud that

you consider me a friend.

The keys to your new house,

Mr Ravi.

Just take a look. You'll find it

an exact replica ofthat photograph.

Our new house. Do you like it?

Come in and take a look.

Our drawing room.

lsn't it beautiful?

Tell me, do

you really like it?

This is nothing. Come inside.

The dining room.

What will you do with this big table?

- Come on. Won't l have a family?

Let me show you the bedroom

upstairs.

Keep the bedroom for later.

Just lay it out straight.

l brought you here

to tell you just that.

Who is she?

Unbelievable, isn't it? Even

l can't bring myselfto believe it!

But, maybe this was bound to

happen...it was bound to happen.

You know, life has bestowed me with

riches. But when it comes to love...

l've only your friendship

to fall back upon.

As you know, l've always been a

Ioner in my life.

Sheetal is a terrific girl!

She is...

Oh, what's happening to me?

lf she comes into my life, my life

will never be drab and dull again.

l wonder how this happened.

l wonder how!

But, now l can't even think

of a life without her.

You must know this Vijay

...if l don't get married to her...

...you will lose your friend.

Life would be meaningless for

Me.

You must do it, Vijay.

- What?

You know l won't be able

to propose to her.

lt'd be better ifyou put a word

on my behalf.

All right. You must do this

in a couple of days. Fine?

Come with me.

You are my true friend.

Yes?

- Is Sheetal there?

No, madam is not here.

Where is she?

- l don't know.

But she is expected to attend

Mr Ravi's pam in the evening.

Mr Daaga, l came here because

l had promised you.

But l am in no mood to talk

about cases and dates.

Fine. We'll talk about it later.

What's the matter? You seem to

be in a different mood today?

l'll tell you later. Not now.

Anay, l have arranged a pam

at my house. You must come.

Sure. But we must know

what's the occasion is.

lfyou are keen to know

then l must tell you.

lt hasn't been yet finalised.

But, l am going to mary.

Congrats -But Mr Ravi,

who is the fortunate girl?

You must have seen her

in one of my earlier parties.

Of course, we must have. If not,

we'll meet her today evening.

Congratulations to you,

Mr Daaga.- What for?

For the wedding of Mr Ravi

Kapoor.

Meaning?

Do you remember we had set our

men to keep an eye on Vijay?

To find out who is his informer?

Yes. But how does it relate

to Ravi's wedding?

Here are some photographs.

Of these, these are worth

seeing.

Who is this girl?

Has Sheetal come?

- No, Sir.

Give this to her when she comes.

- All right, Sir.

What is the matter? You are

Iooking at the watch incessantly.

l was just thinking, neither
