Mera Saaya Page #3

the court as her witness

But she doesn't know what a great

lawyer she's dealing with

lt'll be difficult for her

to face him even for 2 hours

Come on

Rise

Thakur Rakesh Singh

" Say it on oath, " l will speak only

the truth and nothing but the truth"

" l will speak only the truth

and nothing but the truth"

Your name?

- Thakur Rakesh Singh

Do you recognise the accused?

No

Take a careful look at her.

She claims to be your wife

ls that true?

- lt's a lie

My wife is dead

So the accused's claim of being

your wife is not true?

The accused's claim is

absolutely false and baseless

" What bigger proof do we need than

the witness, the accused flaunts..."

who denies in no uncertain terms

that she's his wife?

Which means that the accused

is indeed a killer and a bandit

The charges pressed against her

are absolutely right

l request the court...

not to let the accused waste any

more of the court's precious time

Would you like to question Thakur

Rakesh Singh to defend yourself?

l have some questions for him

l hope he will

answer them truthfully

" l don't want to waste

time, Your Honour"

Everybody knows that my wife is dead.

And l don't want anyone...

to raise questions about my late wife.

lt would hurt my feelings

" l tell you once again, Your Honour.

l don't know this woman"

" Thakur Rakesh Singh, just as the

court gave you a patient hearing..."

l wish to give this woman an

opportunity to present her defense

All you have to do is to answer

the questions she asks you

What do you want to ask him?

l want to know...

l mean... what will l ask him?

" Your Honour, l can't understand

what this woman wants to ask me"

l want to know...

how is this possible?

You can't do this

l think she doesn't want

to ask me anything

She's wasting the court's time

You need not be afraid. Relax.

And ask him whatever you want to

You will be given an opportunity

to have your say

Do you remember...

- What?

lt's three years since

we were married

You were never married to me

" Yes, it's three years

since l was married"

Our wedding was held according

to vedic rites

So what's new? All weddings are

held according to vedic rites

We were married on

the 7th of March

l was married on the 7th of March

Why do you look away when

you answer my questions?

Look at me when you answer me.

- l don't think that's necessary

Just ask your questions. l'm

giving the court my reply

" For the sake of your wife, you

don't even want to look at me"

Think of how she looked

You lovingly called her Geeta

and sometimes Geete

You could lay down your life for her.

You loved her with all your heart

l implore you in her name.

Place a hand on your heart...

and tell me... am l not the woman

you were thinking about?

Your wife... Geeta

Answer me... am l not the same woman?

Am l not?

There's no doubt...

that you look just like my wife

Your face looks just like Geeta's

Wherever you choose to tread...

my shadow will walk with you

My shadow...

Missing me...

should you ever shed tears...

" they will be stopped

from flowing..."

by my tears

" Any direction you choose

to take..."

my shadow will follow you

Wherever you go...

my shadow will go with you

My shadow...

Should you be ever be sad...

l'll be sad too

Whether you see me or not...

l'll forever be with you

Wherever you choose to go...

my shadow will move with you

Wherever you go...

my shadow will walk with you

My shadow...

" Mr Lawyer, it's morning already"

" Wake up, you've got to attend court"

Looks like you won't get up

on your own. l'll have to awaken you

What are you doing?

- So wake up

l'd say you go to sleep too.

- You have so much of work to do

l'll do it at the next hearing.

- Next hearing indeed

" You take the house for

your court, do you?"

" Not the court, my love.

l take it for something else"

What?

- A temple of the goddess of beauty.

And you are the goddess.

- Stop flattering me

" Wake up, your tea's getting cold.

- l don't want any tea"

So what do you want to drink?

- What do they drink in the heavens?

Nectar

So let the nectar flow

from your lips!

ls the court on a holiday?

You're upto mischief in bed

The court is working.

But l'm not going today

What will you do all day

sitting at home like a woman?

ln bed... l'll chat with you

- Shameless man!

What will people at home say?

- She'll say you're so beautiful...

you have me in your clutches

as soon as you've arrived

Maybe that's why she suggested it.

- What?

To visit the temple with you.

- You can go to the temple

Why're you dragging me there?

- You don't understand

So explain it to me

To make a wish.

- To make a wish?

You're so dumb!

" You mean, to wish for a baby?

A little Thakur?"

But what has the junior Thakur

to do with the temple?

That wasn't my idea.

Aunt Radha suggested it

At aunt Radha's behest l married

you. So l'll go to the temple also

You're so lovable!

- Did aunt say that too?

" Don't ask me all that.

Just get up, will you?"

" One little nap, okay?

Make some tea for me..."

l'll join you in five minutes.

- lf you don't ...

l'll pour cold water on you

" Wake up, sir.

You've got to attend the hearing today"

Where did you spring from?

Go and send your mistress

" l don't know what to do, doctor"

You see the condition of my boy.

- l do

He stands glumly before

Geeta's picture...

and spends hours at her memorial

He shuts the doors and listens

to her voice for hours

And this case has now begun.

What will he go through?

Please don't worry.

l'll handle everything

" Doctor, can't we send him away

somewhere? London, France... anyplace"

Going away will take his mind

off these things

He won't need to go anywhere.

This case is a false case

lt'll get over in a

couple of hearings

Thieves can't get away

" Mr Public Prosecutor,

you agree that this woman..."

resembles Thakur Rakesh Singh's wife?

No one disagrees

that she's a look alike

But she claims to be Thakur

Rakesh Singh's wife

And we have proved that

his wife is already dead

Anyone could have known what

you asked Thakur Rakesh Singh

And it does not prove

that you're his wife

Very well

l'll now ask him questions which

will prove that l'm indeed his wife

" Remember, after our wedding, a part of

my sari was jammed in the car's door?"

And you had it freed

When our car had driven

far away from the city...

" we saw the Moon, looking

beautiful in the skies"

You would look at the Moon

and then at me

You suddenly took my hand

and said...

" O Moon, you are

going to be eclipsed"

You will soon hide

But the Moon here with me...

" is the Moon which brings

love and happiness"

" You stand no comparison

with her"

ls that she says true?

- lt's true

" All this is already published

in my novel " Sushma"

She must've taken this extract

from that book

" Thakur saheb, let's agree that

this girl has read your book"

But how would she know that

this what you told your wife?
