Maryada Ramanna Page #3

Though you stopped the train,

you showed us a great scene.

What happened?

We are going very fast.

Shouldn't we reach out destination?

Those fireflies, this moonlit night,

these feelings,

it won't come back, right?

Are we going?

No, we are here only.

Look out once.

Those trees and hills are

moving backwards.

The maiden is sitting next to window...

What is seen from the window?

The world is moving

at 70 miles per hour...

Look at the palm tree...

lt's waving bye

by shaking the leaves...

Why is the moon following us?

May be fallen for you...

What was the shaking

earth's response?

lf you say yes,

it wants to be a cradle for you...

What is the wind thinking

blowing on me?

lt wants to carry your tales...

The maiden is standing

near the threshold...

What is seen from the threshold?

Thinking at 80 miles per hour...

An unexpected journey...

lt made my imaginations to run wild...

The happiness l never l knew till now..

lt brought right into my life...

Cool dark night is enveloping...

Night is melting for the warm fire...

l had a alluring dream in sleep...

But reality is much more beautiful...

The maiden is sleeping

next to window...

What is seen from the window?

Sleep took over her

at 90 miles per hour...

That's all! l just ran away from there

without even turning back.

Trivikram too jumped away

from that side.

Had we been caught

we would've got the stick...

We've reached the station.

l didn't observe talking to you.

Train will stop for a minute only,

come quickly.

Your sketch book!

Hi! When did you come?

- Today morning.

Father!

Had a nice journey, dear?

Why have you grown thin, Appu?

Stop it brother-in-law.

Why are you cracking jokes on her?

lt seems hostel canteen was

shut down unable to feed her.

Hey you!

- Leave me

Have you forgotten any food in train?

Come then.

Keep everything safely,

don't forget anything.

Come brother.

Nephew.

- Yes uncle.

Take my daughter to home.

We'll visit temple.

l'll also come, father.

How can you come without

taking bath, dear?

Tell me, for whom you're waiting?

- What?

l knew the way you looked

at the compartment.

What?

- Appu, tell me. Who is he?

Would be or could be?

Nothing like that but quite

an interesting character.

Liked him? Confirmed?

Eloping with him?

He's just a friend, that's all.

- That's all?

But why are you so

interested in my love?

lf not me, who else will

be concerned?

Your parents and my parents have only

one wish, to see us both married.

Why don't you marry me then?

Don't say it for fun too.

lf my dad hears it,

he'll fix marriage immediately.

Seeing us close, people mistake

we love each other,

can't you tell your father you too

don't like this marriage?

Aren't you ashamed to say this?

As a man you can't tell your father,

but you want me to tell my father.

l told them,

l told my mother and father,

we know each other from childhood,

l told them l don't have

any feelings for Appu.

He said, why do you need

feelings for marriage?

Don't laugh, l'm angry.

He's calling me.

- Oh uncle!

Don't pick it up.

- Why?

He'll not speak anything else.

No.

Tell me father.

Did you go to station to pick up Appu?

He did go it seems.

Are you bringing her in your car, right?

Yes...no...no...l went to another

place on urgent work.

Urgent work?

You brainless fellow!

Fool! What's more important

to him than Appu?

Why don't you talk to me?

Why are you saying hello?

l can understand it.

Lost signal!

Enough of laughing, come.

Why do you waste time on

making silly sketches?

Why don't you find yourself a man?

They are not silly sketches.

- What's it then?

l'm drawing the future life

with my husband.

Does your silly sketches have

so much poetry in it?

No, look at this...

What happened?

- My drawing book...

Missing? Good riddance.
