Julie Page #4

Sir, don't misunderstand me.

l haven't come for the money.

l'm here for joy.

Everything is well

by the grace of Allah.

l said, sit down.

Sir, l'd sent an order to Bombay

for soap, oil, cream and powder.

By mistake they sent me this gift.

l'm giving it to you.

Look, what Rahim got for you!

Sir, it's prohibited for me.

So l got it for you.

l don't' need this.

Like you, l can't

drink all day long!

Rahim got this for us with great love.

A good Christian can

never break anyone's heart.

That is why l'm drinking this.

Drink, sir but don't'

stop patronizing my shop.

Or this poor man's shop

will have to be shut down.

We will not let

your shop be closed.

Good day sir.

l'll walk you out.

This is as far as l come.

Good day.

Come on.

Yes, darling. Wait...

That's enough.

You've had a lot.

You're talking like your Mummy.

Why do you stop him?

Why?

Let him drink till he falls!

What a great thing to say!

For this, let's have a dance.

We will dance.

Come here...

What's wrong?

- Blood!

- Blood!

Your legs are trembling.

How will you report for duty?

l was bed-ridden for so long...

That is why my body has fallen weak.

A couple of days at duty...

...and my body will be fine.

Saw the outcome of drinking?

l'll never drink.

Better late than never.

Your medicines...

When did you come?

Just now.

- Where's Usha?

- Nobody is home.

- Meaning?

- All have gone out.

For a wedding.

They'll be away for 2 days.

l must leave.

Please let me go.

Somebody might come.

Now nobody can come.

l've traveled 2000 miles to meet you.

Can't you walk two steps towards me?

Let me go.

Leave me... Please...

You don't seem pleased to see me.

That's not true.

l'm so happy to see you...

l'm scared...

Your hands are cold as ice.

l'll warm them up.

Enough...

Please let me go.

Why?

Don't you like it?

l like it very much.

That is why l want to leave.

Go if you want to.

l too will leave after 2 days.

These 2 days might

never return to our lives.

You will return?

Yes but you might find

another boy friend by then.

The one l found...

...is you.

Let me go...

On one condition.

Will you come to see me tomorrow?

Will you?

Have you drunk liquor?

Yes.

A little.

l felt very lonely

sitting here by myself.

Haven't you ever had liquor?

Yes but l hated it.

But in this house...

in this place...

Here you are.

Have a drink today.

For my sake.

Kill your heart.

No, you don't know this is venom.

''l've forgotten everything''

''l remember nothing''

'' But l couldn't forget this...''

''Julie, l love you''

''l've forgotten everything''

''l remember nothing''

'' But l couldn't forget this...''

''Julie, loves you''

''Don't go so far that it

will be difficult to come close''

''Don't come so close that it

will be difficult to go far''

''Listen to me, let me go''

''Touching your body felt like...''

''Caressing an ember''

''Julie...''

''l love you''

''My love might die

thirsting in agony''

''This evening might

malign both of us''

''Then should l give up?''

''Should l break my promise?''

''lt hardly matters''

''Julie loves you''

Get up.

No. Let me go.

Stay for the night.

l'm your shadow.

l go everywhere with you.

- But why?

- Don't be angry.

Your Mummy asked me to get you.

Won't you sit on my cycle?

Was everyone in

Bhattacharya's house?

Why do you want to know?

l want to know. All the

doors and windows were shut.

Do l have to answer

all your questions?

Your mouth stinks of whisky.

Does it matter to you?

Are you the police or

a prohibition officer?

Suppose your Mummy finds out?

Do whatever you please.

Don't chew my brains!

Don't be angry. l'll drop you.

There's a word in the

English dictionary, thank you.

And listen...

When are Mr. Bhattarcharya and

family returning to the city?

l feel sorry for you.

You stay by yourself these days.

You don't talk to anyone.

You don't play or laugh...

Nothing, Mummy.

Whom do l tell?

Whom...?

Madam, everyone has gone

to the railway station.

Are you feeling well?

Kill me, Mummy!!

What happened?

What happened?

Tell me baby, what happened?

Tell me, what happened?

l... mother...

Who committed this sin?

l told you not to go around

with these Brahmins!

As if you listen!

You cut off our nose and

gave it to me in my hand!

What have you done?

Couldn't you find any other beast?

Shameless!

Do you have any idea

of what you've done?

You made me misbegotten!

You made your Daddy a bastard!

l cry for the day

l gave birth to you.

My darling, what have you done?

What have you done, my child?

What have you done?

What are you doing?

Writing a letter.

To Shashi.

That's my private letter.

Nothing about you is private

after turning into the city tramp.

You take that rascal's name!

Write letters to him!

Will he feel mercy

and marry you?

l'll wring his neck

if he comes before me!

What do l do if not marry him?

First wipe your tears.

Then listen to me.

Only you and l know

about what's happened.

Nobody else must hear about it.

Not even Daddy.

He will die if he hears.

Smile a little.

Use some make-up.

People use make-up for show.

You use make-up to hide.

Back to your true colors!

Opened another bottle!

l'm sad in my heart.

l don't know why.

You drink when you're happy.

You drink when you're sad.

ls there any time

when you don't drink?

lt's been 25 years since

your mother married me.

For the first time she spoke

to me so politely and sensibly.

l'm always sensible.

But are you in your senses?

l'm sending Julie

to Bombay for a job.

Job...?

Won't Julie complete college?

Your father's pay isn't sufficient.

And your mother doesn't have

a machine printing currency.

No, Julie will go to college.

l'll give up liquor and smoking.

l'll give up one meal but

l will send Julie to college.

You're forgetting

Jimmy has gone to England.

He's not sending us

any more money orders.

So what? l'll sell my car!

l'll find a customer.

Customers come daily and

offer the price of a handcart.

Don't they know my car is imported?

Julie will go to the convent.

And pick up a job.

We have no other option.

Ask Julie what she wants.

l'll do whatever Mummy says.

Come in.

Look how beautiful this flower is.

Why are you so scared,

anxious and lost?

What's the matter?

What's wrong?

Tell me.

l am really lost.

l have lost everything.

What are you saying?

l am pregnant!

When you had gone out of

station for a wedding...

l stepped inside this house.

And l got ruined for life!

l got ruined!

My destiny has done

all that happened.

Swear by me you won't

tell this to anyone.

To nobody!

Mummy is taking me to another

city to save me from disgrace.

l couldn't' have left

without meeting you.

lt's me, Margaret.

l was waiting for you.

Come there.

Not you. You stay here.

l'll get back.

No, l can't help you in this!

lt's a matter of our honor.

The honor of the entire

Anglo-lndian community.

You don't have to do anything.
