Mann Page #9

So that's why she didn't

answer my letters.

No! l'll put them on myself!

Don't be alarmed Priya.

l won't exceed the limits of decency.

You know. Priya, l did a portrait.

You and Grandma together.

You remember when Grandma

was telling you that...

... she'd send you

the anklets someday?

That is the moment

l chose for the painting.

Nattu used to tell me

that it was my best.

l had decided l'd

never sell the painting.

But last week, my agent calls me up,

and tells me that...

a lady happened to like the painting.

Her observation was so minute. The

kind of scrutiny l'd expect from you.

l told my agent to give

the painting away.

She didn't seem to have the money.

And she was an invalid.

'No! l'll put it on myself!'

Do you know what she had to say

when she saw the painting?

This isn't merely

a painting, she said.

This is a moment, an experience.

A portrait of someone's love.

Don't stare at me like that, Dev!

Don't look at me like that!

Why did you keep it a secret?

Why didn't you tell me?

lf it had to happen, why

didn't it happen to me?!

lt was all my fault.

l was possessed! l was running.

To meet you!

When l came to my senses, l found

the ground was gone under my feet!

l just had no legs.

l'm not like you anymore!

Not like you!

Yes. You've become very selfish.

You wanted to keep all

the trouble to yourself?

All l wanted from you

is a little bit of joy.

Will you even refuse to share

with me your sorrows?

Don't you ever leave me again!

We'll face it together.

lt'll be like a song, l tell you.

You know Dev, whatever happens,

happens for the better.

After the marriage, if you're

ever late getting home...

You won't have me

beating you up with a shoe!

Bride and bridegroom

now stand up...

For the ritual circumnavigation

of the holy fire.
