Gupt: The Hidden Truth Page #2

- Will you consider me a friend?

- Why not?

- Let's have an ice-cream then!

Not today. Perhaps on

another occasion.

Welcome, Mr. Diwan! ... Relax!

Your snacks are seryed!

Well, what's all this

appeasement in aid of?

Looks like a new scheme to get me

to increase your pocket-money.

Who's worried about pocket-money?

l've stumbled upon the treasure!

Had you been to a garment sale

or to the college?

- To college. Know whom l met?

- Whom did you meet?

l met Sahil there.

He's as tall as a lamp-post!

Like a true-blooded Punjabi!

How did you recognize him?

l'd never forgotten him that

l had to recognize him!

l must say, against all hopes,

he has grown to be handsome.

Did he recognize you?

- Did he talk to you?

- Why wouldn't he?

We're friend again, Papa!

l'm thrilled! lt's as if my

childhood has returned to me!

Wait... sit down here.

There's a big difference between the

friendship of childhood and youth.

Don't forget; l'm his father's

personal secretary.

So what?

Why pursue a path that we

don't intend to take up?

How can you bring up

these cliches, Papa?

He hasn't bought you over, just

because you're his secretary!

Do you need to seek his permission

everytime you breathe?

Mercy on me, sir...

A penny for me!

Quiet! Obstinate girl!

Just remember this much, dear.

lt's a young girl who carries

the trust of her father's honor.

l won't say another word.

Do as you please. Okay?

l'm not obstinate, dad...

l'm only very sentimental.

lf you consider my

happiness a burden...

...l will do as you say.

lt will bother me, no doubt.

But l'll cry over it.

You're not only sentimental...

you're an actress, too!

You know l can

never see you cry!

l played horse for you earlier;

l'll now play an ass!

l'll even tolerate Governor's

slap for your sake, okay?

Bloody idiot! Do you

know who Sahil is?

He's the Governor

Jaisingh Sinha's son!

l'm trying to get my daughter

married to him...

...and you take on

enmity with him?

You're thinking of my marriage;

and you haven't spoken to me!

l'm sorry. l wanted to surprise you.

l didn't want to tell you as yet.

But thanks to this idiot,

l've blurted out the truth.

Your Dad has been trying to get

you engaged to the Governor's son.

lt's a good family and the

boy's good, too.

Well, then... do you approve

of your dad's choice?

We will pursue this, only

if you approve of it.

Do you agree? Speak up...

don't feel shy.

l agree.

Let's go to the Governor's house

with the proposal immediately.

Who's that?

Why don't you speak?

Any problem?

Are you dumb?

Your father seems to have

a lot of money to waste!

Who's that? Speak up!

Why are you bothering me? Have

you nothing better to do?

- ls that the Governor's bungalow?

- Yes. Go on.

Stop talking and put

Mr. Sahil Sinha on the line.

- What is this regarding?

- ldiot! Who are you?

l'm Mr. Diwan's

very special seryant.

Haven't you recognized me? l'm a

friend of Mr. Diwan's daughter...

...since her childhood

and through her life.

Sahil! lt is you!

What can l do for you?

Promise to meet me

in my dreams tonight.

l'd do that, even if

you didn't ask me to.

lt has nothing to do with business;

it's a family affair, sir.

Which is why l've brought

my family along.

Where's Sahil? ... relax.

l'll find him.

- Which room is it?

- The first one upstairs.

Does your daughter

already know my son?

They're studying in

the same college.

Eat, while you see the snaps.

l've made this on my own.

But you were a glutton as a kid!

Always hogging something.

- Really?

- As if you don't remember!

You even used to snatch

my food from me!

You remember everything about

our childhood, don't you?

He told his mom only

this morning...

...that he wants to have a

great birthday bash this year.

- That's wonderful!

- He had a special reason, he said.

Your visit now explains what the

special reason could be.

Here's how you looked

as a kid.

The snap was taken at Aksa beach,

while on a picnic.

He didn't say a word to us.

We know from you now as to

what this is all about.

May we consider this alliance

as cemented then?

Certainly.

- You're crying in this picture!

- Don't you remember?

l threw water on your face and you

threw me down on the rocks!

lt had hurt my cheeks badly.

The scars remained for long.

Dad thought my face

was ruined forever.

That cheek, right?

But there's no scar there.

The scars have faded.

But the wound remains.

- Sahil is not at home.

- He must've gone out.

Sit down, dear.

lt's you we were talking about,

even after you had left.

Shall we celebrate the alliance

with sweets, Governor?

ln that case, may l apply a balm?

Wonderful! You will apply a balm now

for an injury of childhood!

- l was very innocent then.

- Are you a wise man now?

Not at all.

l've gone mad and crazy now.

May l apply the balm then?

Daddy!

Look who's here!

- Greetings, uncle.

- Greetings, son.

He has come to discuss something

very important with you, Dad.

l've come to invite you to my

birthday party next week.

You will not be there as the

Governor's personal secretary.

You will be my personal guest.

Do attend the party.

l'm grateful to you for attending

my elder son's birthday party.

lt's a matter of pride

for every father...

...to watch his son grow

as tall as he himself is.

l'm even more proud, for my son

is two inches taller than me!

He even wears shoes

bigger than mine!

lt's true that my son

has now grown up.

As a responsible father then,

it is my duty...

...to do whatever

my son feels like doing.

This is his right.

On this occasion therefore, l want

to give my son a beautiful present.

A present he loves.

Something he will have

to keep all his life.

You've guessed it! l want to

announce his engagement!

The girl is sincere, kind-hearted

and beautiful...

...and best of all, my son

loves her.

The girl is Mr. Chaudhary's daughter...

Sheetal Chaudhary.

Put the ring on her finger, son.

Just a minute, Mom.

On my birthday today, l wished to

pour my heart out to you.

But the Governor has poisoned the

atmosphere, before l could do that.

He likes to create drama...

...and every word of what he said

was a lie.

How would he know what

my heart craves for?

He does not approve of the girl

l am in love with.

lt's a blow to his respect to accept

her as his daughter-in-law.

Because she happens to be lsha, the

daughter of his personal secretary.

What madness is this? l have done

everything as per your liking.

Don't call this force on me

as something l like.

Why don't you admit...

...that you will not get me engaged

to your P.A.'s daughter?

You loved Sheetal till yesterday.

What made you change overnight?

What change? Who has

fed you the stories?

Are you stoned?

Stop arguing and apologize

to Mr. Chaudhary.

Apologize to Sheetal, too.

You have subjected my love

to ridicule, Governor!

lt's you who must apologize!

You're talking nonsense!

They're all watching us.
