I am not joking, though

our relationship is a joke.

Relationship a joke?

You go home. I will spend some

time with Shekhar, and leave.

As you wish.

- Sumi, bless you, dear.

- Father.

Do write.

Do write.

Good bye.

So tell me, when are

you coming to our house?

We'll chat later, first

let's have some refreshments.

Please, cut out the formalities.

Come over in a day or two.

If you don't, I'll

come and take you by force.

- Want to say something?

- Madam is waiting for you.

Escort Sumita to her room.

You called for me?

When you don't come on your own,

I have to summon you.

You have just forgotten

the way to my room.

Should I not fulfill

my duty towards Sumita?

What about your duty towards me?

You are the lady of the house.

Madam, queen,

all the keys are with you.

Madam? Queen?

Nonsense!

Keep your keys with you,

or give them to Sumita.

I want you, or return the

life I lived 10 years ago.

I don't know about myself, but

the clock cannot be turned back.

For you, me or anybody else.

A mirror once broken,

cannot be joined back.

It has to be changed.

I sing songs

I hum away

I had made a

promise to laugh always

That is why I am always smiling

These moments of

love are so precious

My words are

softer than flowers

I shower everyone

with these soft flowers

I am always smiling

Who knew there would

be so much happiness

My heart is blooming with joy

My heart is clean

I am always smiling

You are joking

once again, Kumar Bahadur.

Shekhar,

it is good to be humble...

...but not

beyond a certain limit.

She is my mother. Very

different from the Rai family.

I had molded myself

to my mother's ideals.

But since the last 7-8 years,

I began to behave...

...like the blood thirsty Rais'.

Look, you'll see signs of

killing all around.

Before leaving for Germany,

even I liked to hunt.

I have a gun too.

Will you take me along?

But I have promised to quit

both, liquor, and hunting.

I will once again follow

my mother's ideals.

Thus, I will begin life afresh.

Will you help me?

Sure, I will.

Tell me what I have to do.

You take care of Sumita.

So that your laughter,

your music...

...breaths fresh life into

this lifeless Rai mansion.

Help me.

I didn't know

you were so emotional.

You didn't answer me.

If that is what pleases you,

I promise you.

Thank you.

- Shekhar is a talented boy.

- Yes, very talented.

He is not only an engineer,

he even sculpts, paints, sings.

- He's even handsome.

- Yes, he looks good.

Shekhar and Sumita's pair...

What do you mean?

Have you given a thought to the

fact that they grew up together.

They could have been in

love with each other.

Even their marriage

could have been a possibility.

What is this?

You are leaving your meal...

Listen!

Sumita, is it true...

...that there were talks of

your marriage with Shekhar?

My mother and his aunt wanted it.

And you?

You didn't answer me.

What did you want?

Parent's wishes are important

in such matters.

Oh. So it can be said...

...that you

didn't desire to marry me.

No, I didn't say that.

- Hello.

- Hello.

Sit down.

Please be seated.

Tell me, what can I do for you?

I came here...

I mean, Kumar Bahadur...

But he suddenly left

for hunting yesterday.

Left for hunting?

Then why today...

- You are Shekhar?

- Yes.

- Haricharan.

- Yes, madam.

Escort him to Sumita's soon.

But...

Why? Are you afraid to enter the

mansion in the master's absence?

But Kumar Bahadur

has told me...

...that whenever you come...

...you should be

escorted to Sumita's room.

- You...

- I am Madhuri.

The rest,

you will know later.

Haricharan, ask Myna to

take him to Sumita.

- Come, sir.

- Go.

Tell me, who is this Madhuri?

I don't know,

but everyone calls her madam.

Even the house keys are with her.

Nothing happens in this

mansion without her consent.

Even Kumar Bahadur

does everything she says.

Haven't you ever

questioned Kumar Bahadur?

No. It is forbidden to

know too much in this house.

Kumar Gyanshanker is truly

a strange man.

- Shekhar and Sumita's pair...

- What do you mean?

Have you given a thought to the

fact that they grew up together.

They could have been in

love with each other.

Even their marriage

could have been a possibility.

Sumita, is it true...

...that there were talks of

your marriage with Shekhar?

My mother and his aunt wanted it.

And you?

Parent's wishes are important

in such matters.

O heart, sing in tune

Don't sing

any note out of tune

Life is a union of

sorrow and happiness

Like high notes with low

Merge the two

O heart, sing in tune

- Master!

- Master!

Master, the

lioness has been located...

...near the pond

at the foot of the mountain.

Your friend

is very unfair to you.

- My friend?

- Your pupil is your friend.

You return so late

from office.

Then you come here...

...and she doesn't even

ask if you'll have something.

I have heard no one does

anything here without your orders.

You've heard that?

Then it's my mistake.

Sit down.

Please sit down.

Please eat... Eat.

Will you teach me to sing?

Can you sing?

If you teach me,

I'll surely learn.

Then I'll surely teach you.

Thank you.

You two make a lovely pair.

You told me something?

I was thinking that no one

can still be so happy...

...after giving something that

belongs to him to someone else.

I don't understand.

My misfortune.

You didn't eat anything.

I had enough.

Good day.

Kumar Bahadur has come. Get the

ground almond for the sherbet.

Ask Shivnandan to even get

hot water for his bath here.

And get his smoking pipe too.

Hurry!

- Chhotu.

- Coming, madam.

- Are you alright?

- Yes.

- How are you?

- I am fine.

But you look pale.

I could not sleep all night

because of a headache.

I'm fine today.

But you look very tired.

Tired?

Yes, really.

Sumi, since that first day, I've

not been able to hear you sing.

Will you sing for me some day?

Whenever you like.

You know to cook, right?

Some day...

Why some day?

Shall I cook today?

You'll cook today?

Alright.

Chhotu,

remove Kumar Bahadur's shoes.

Keep this on the bed,

he will wear them after his bath.

The water is ready for your bath.

I'll get sherbet for you.

- Shyama.

- Coming, madam.

Alright then, we'll cook,

mutton pulav, fish...

...pulses, prawns,

chutney, and sweetened milk.

And yes, I will cook all this.

- What! Alright.

- Ask Shibu to grind the spices.

- Do we have all the spices?

- Yes.

Keep all this ready,

I'm coming.

- Madam...

- Did you grind almonds?

I did grind them, but Sumita

madam called them to her room.

I have asked

Shibu to grind some more.

Good.

Bring them quickly.

I'll check if

Kumar Bahadur finished bathing.

Listen...

- Madam, ground almonds.

- Take it back, Shyama.

And ask Mishraji

to cook the meal.

Here, drink sherbet.

Sumita is making

almond sherbet for me.

But you always had sherbet

made by me.

I didn't have Sumita then.

I know. You brought me
