Gangster Page #2

You can spend the night

here if you wish,

This chap who was mopping the

floor with me that day...,

I later got to know, was

a very dreaded gangster,

Whatever he meant to the world...,

what I saw in his eyes that day...,

made me feel that he too

was as lonely as I was,

No thank you, no good-bye...,

he didn't say a word to me when

he left early next morning,

I could feel his silence

for several days,

It was more than a month

since he had left...,

but I still couldn't get over him,

And one day, he landed

up at my door,

I wasn't in,

He made enquiries with

my neighbours and...,

and he straightaway

got to my workplace,

He then started coming frequently

to my dance-bar,

He always took one particular

table with his back to me,

Working at the dance-bar, I had

seen several drunkards...,

stripping me with their eyes.

In Daya's eyes, however...,

I saw respect for myself,

With him, I thought I was adequately

clothed, even in skimpy clothing.

He always looked at me silently,

He never uttered a word,

Maybe he wouldn't ever.

If it wasn't for...,

Let's go home,

The first word he

uttered was "home",

It was as if my dreams

were taking shape,

I felt as if he was taking

my hand, never to leave it,

I don't know whether I let myself

go with him... or my necessities,

But I got to his place,

You know something, Akash?

In broad daylight...,

I haven't felt safer even with the

so-called respectable men...,

as safe as I felt that night,

in a gangster's house,

I thought I had found

a world of my own,

My dream of starting a family

was really coming true,

How was I to know that as usual, my

happiness would be short-lived?

I'll see... who is it?

- Milkman,

There was no stopping after that,

I was looking for one house...,

and destiny kept changing

my house everyday,

At times it was a footpath. At

times, a room in a 5-star hotel,

We used to spend our

nights in hiding,

He always had his share of

enemies in the underworld,

But even those that considered

him to be a friend...,

had turned his enemies,

Brother, Khan-Saheb is here,

Go inside,

Sit down...

you must be tired of running

He was barely 12 or 13 years old

when he came to me asking for a job

Everybody said, he was a kid,

not to make him part of my gang

But no, sir. I trusted him

And he never broke my trust

Boys in the gang going out to kill

would first ask the means of escape

This guy did his job; he never

thought of how he'd return

Even the big guns were scared

of him. You know why?

Because he wasn't scared of death

And ever since you have

entered his life...

he has started loving life

Like a dog with its tail

between its legs...

he's running from place to place

He has forgotten what a goddamned

nuisance women are

Have fun, use them and dump them!

If you wear her around your neck,

she'll slit your throat!

Make him see reason

In our business, there's

lust. There's no love

Like my mentor, Sikander.

What happened to him?

He became a bloody dog

for the sake of a girl

He took a Qazi to the broad's

house; she double-crossed him

His body was riddled with bullets.

And I had to shoot the b*tch later

If my kid is being stupid,

if he's making a mistake...

I'll have to do the same thing again

Hey, you're a whore

who works at a bar

You won't let go of him so easily.

But you can atleast

reason with him...

to leave you. Else,

I'll have to do...

...to you what I did

to Sikander's broad

Now I know why boys leave their

fathers for the sake of women

You have lost your father today

You're on your own now

So look after yourself

I was terrified

But I had implicit faith in Daya

Akash, all my dreams were

about to come true

I waited to see fulfilled a dream

that I had for several years

And that is why you married Daya?

To dream and to see the

dream being fulfilled...

are entirely different things

Daya loved me so much, he didn't

even touch me before our marriage

Our marriage... that

never took place

The kid then?

It was hired

There is no dearth of poor,

helpless orphans in the world

I pretended to be a mother too

But I don't know what

it was about Bittu...

when I met him, I felt as if...

I were his real mother...

as if he were really my son

We needed passports

to leave the country

And to get those passports,

we needed to be a family

That's it. Bittu became part

of our so-called family

I thought then that I had everything

A husband, a son, a family

I wanted to make this fantasy

the picture of my life

And thus, I never wanted Bittu

to be separated from me

Daya was changing too

This man couldn't bear to see even

a drop of the child's blood

Who could've imagined

it was this man's...

. profession to indulge in bloodshed?

As they say, you can get rid of

everything except your shadow

And Daya's shadow was

far longer than himself

I'm terribly scared, Daya.

- There's nothing to be scared of

Why not, Daya?

I don't know whether I will

ever have you in my lifetime

But I don't want to lose Bittu

Nothing will happen to Bittu. It's

dangerous for us to live in India

There are informers everywhere.

If we don't take Bittu along...

it's impossible to get to Dubai.

- You said we'd never use Bittu!

I also said I'd never let

anything happen to Bittu

It's my chest that'll take

the bullets. Not his

Mummy!

Thank you

Won't you come in?

Simran, your past is

like these four walls

You have managed to step out...

but you've left the keys inside

Simran, life is goading

you towards a new goal

But you're still tied to the past

I know you want to

get on with life...

but you're afraid, you might

lose your dreams on the way

Open your eyes, Simran

Your dreams are here with you...

right in front of you

You don't need to look back again

and again to be happy, Simran

You have shed enough tears for

things that did not happen

Atleast let what is about to

happen reach its conclusion?

Simran, you have every right to live

You have every right to dream

I'll give you all the happiness,

I'll fulfill all your dreams

Because now that I've

heard your story...

I've begun to love you

more than ever before

I love you, Simran

Every moment, the distances

between us begin to melt

In the fires of passion

burns the dew

The sun sets with desires...

In what fires burns the dew?

Hello,

- Reception

Please try this number again

For the past three days, I've

been trying this number

Why don't you understand?

All you Indians are the same!

Your eyes...

show me...

dreams...

of the stars

On your lips...

is written...

what you say...

in signs

In a caravan of dreams,

the night moves on

What fire is it in

which burns the dew?

This evening, I'm going astray...

with you in my arms

Must I touch you...

or keep you...

hidden in my eyes?

Shy. Fumbling...

what fire is it that

burns the dew?

Every moment, the distances

between us begin to melt

In what fires of passion

burns the dew

Why does the sun set
