Mera Saaya Page #6

" Kalwa, the laundryman"

l don't know

" Don't you know, really...?

- Spare me, Thakur Saheb!"

You utter my name at last.

But half of it actually

You're so shameless! What if

someone sees us?

" You've done it, my love.

You bought me out"

l could even say that in court.

- You're late...

and you're using sweet words

l do all the slavery and

yet listen to your taunts

What slavery have you done for me?

Here you are!

- ls it fixed?

Now tell me where it snapped.

- l can't tell!

But l'm not going abroad.

- There you go again

You don't know. The breaking of the

matrimonial necklace is a bad omen

As if you ever believe

in such things?

l've got to beg to you

to visit a temple

You must go abroad.

- On one condition. Come closer

You're going with me

Your studies are all over then

Ask him. ls this true?

Or isn't it?

" Well, Thakur Saheb?

ls what the accused says, true?"

She's right

Court is adjourned till tomorrow

" lnspector, if science had not

made such progress..."

" l'd have told you that she isn't

a woman, she's a spirit"

How did the necklace snap?

And where was it fixed?

When was the Thakur supposed

to leave for abroad...

" it's amazing, she has

all the answers!"

" That's okay, but l don't find

anything amazing about that"

When servants in the family

mingle outside...

the tiniest of things

is not a secret anymore

" For example, we have about

four or five goldsmiths in town"

" She must've asked one of them.

- l believe, lnspector..."

that woman is a ghost!

- Munshiji

" Believe me, sir.

l'll tell you a true story"

lt happened in my own village.

There was this beautiful woman...

" who married a wrestler. She lived with

him for years, bore him children..."

and it was discovered that

she wasn't a woman at all

She was a demoness

" To be honest, l have all

the sympathies for the Thakur"

" To begin with, he has lost his wife.

And from morning to evening..."

he's faced by a woman

who looks just like his wife

God alone knows what

he's going through

Forgotten tales...

l'm recall again

Wherever you walk...

my shadow will walk with you

Wherever you tread...

my shadow will walk with you

My shadow...

Missing me...

should you ever shed tears...

they will be stopped....

by my tears

Any direction you choose...

my shadow will walk with you

Should you ever be sad...

l'll be sad too

Whether you see me or not...

l shall always be with you

Wherever you go...

my shadow will walk with you

Wherever you tread...

my shadow will walk with you

A forgotten story...

l now recall

l'm amazed how that woman

could even think of it

Whether she achieves something or not

from her line of defense...

she'll surely get the

benefit of doubt

l don't think it has happened suddenly.

lt's a well-planned conspiracy

They get to know every detail

about his family

Maybe you're right. But who

lets them into the details?

Before or after you went abroad...

did you employ someone new

or have a guest at the house?

No

Surprising. She talks

so confidently about you...

as if your life were an open book

for her

A book...?

Hurry up. The master's angry.

He's turning everything upside down...

looking for something.

- Let's go

What's all this?

" What happened, son?

- l can't find the diary! Where is it?"

Which diary?

- Geeta's diary

The diary she wrote every day.

- l don't know son

Has someone touched Geeta's things?

- No

Nobody has touched her belongings.

Everything is as it was

Then where is the diary?

" l told you, sir. There was a burglary

in the house, when you were abroad"

Maybe the diary was stolen...

- Yes. You're right

That's when the diary

must've been stolen

That woman has the diary

" No wonder she knows so much

about me, my house and Geeta"

She knows it all

lt's two years since we were married

But my husband loves me as much as

he did on the day of our marriage

What are you doing? lt's wrong

to read a personal diary!

Give my diary to me.

- One moment... listen to me

You're mine. And so's the diary.

So why not read what's mine?

Please give me my diary.

l'm not going to fall for the trap

Since when are you writing the diary?

- l always wrote it

Did you? l caught you today

Let me see what my wife

has to say about me

Don't bother me! Give that to me.

" l wonder what good deeds l have done

that my husband loves me so much..."

so much...

he takes my breath away

... Really?

" l have an idiot for a husband

- Have l written " idiot" ?"

Anyone who loves his wife so much

is considered to be an idiot

l only made a correction.

- ldiot is fine. Write it too

" l will, after l've read

what you've written here"

" He's going abroad for

further studies tomorrow"

l'm so happy... l can't describe it

" He wasn't willing to go.

l forced him to"

So you forced me?

" l want him to be a great lawyer

so the world respects him"

" l'm happy, and l'm sad too"

" l've never been separated from him

after our marriage"

Not even for a moment

" For a whole year, he's going away.

Miles away from me"

" How will l bear the separation?

How will l reason with my heart?"

Are you really going?

For a year?

" A year's nothing, Geeta.

l'll come back before you realise it"

Whatever you have stated

in this court till now...

goes to prove that you're my wife

l've always said that l'm your wife

Let's suppose you are my wife

" Remember, you used to write a diary?

- Yes, l do"

" You used to write in the diary about

every incident, big and small?"

" Yes, l used to write the

tiniest of things in the diary"

You also wrote about the

love between you and me?

Yes

All those things about me which

you have stated in court...

" ought to be in the diary too?

- Yes, l wrote that too"

You used to take such

good care of the diary...

you wouldn't even let me touch it

Right?

- Absolutely

" lf you really valued the diary so much,

if you kept it so safely..."

it means you must still be having

the diary with you. Right?

" You're my wife, aren't you?

- Yes"

You loved the diary.

- Yes

You kept it very secure.

- Yes

Which means you ought to have

the diary right now too

" Try and recall... the

diary's with you, isn't it?"

Why don't you speak?

Where is it?

" When l left the house, l didn't

carry the diary with me"

So it must've been at home then?

- Yes

" lt ought to be at home right now?

- Certainly, it should"

So where is it?

ln my safe

- No

Maybe on top of the cupboard.

- No

" ln my suitcase then...

- No, no, no!"

l've searched every inch of the house

" Cupboards, suitcases and trunks...

l've ripped all of them"

But there's no trace of the diary

That's where l kept the diary.

- That's what l want to know. Where?

Where did you keep it?

- l don't remember

You don't remember! You don't !

You loved it more than your life.

You always kept it with you

And you can't remember

where you kept it?

l'll tell you why you can't remember.

lt's because you are not my wife!
