Mera Saaya Page #8

What truth is that which could

have tarnished my family name?

That would make me hate you

and leave you

The fact is that my mother

was a loose-moralled woman

l even had a twin-sister.

An absolute look-alike

She looked just like me

" Like my mother, she went wayward too

and ran away from home..."

" to join a gang of bandits

After she had left,..."

my mother intended to push me

towards her evil ways too

" l was so fed up,

l decided to commit suicide"

When l was about to kill myself...

" you appeared, as my new life,

and saved me"

l'm really your wife

" That woman who died in your arms,

whom you even cremated..."

wasn't me... it was my twin-sister

lt happened when you were abroad

One night

lt was late in the night

l was reading a book and l don't

know when l went to sleep

You...?

What do you want?

Open the door

Hurry up

Nisha...

Geeta...

l haven't eaten for two days

My enemies are after me

Please save me

Please give me shelter

for a night

l'll leave tomorrow

l'll never bother you again

" l'll never show you my face.

One night, please...?"

She was running a high temperature

l was afraid what l would

tell someone who came upstairs

Nobody knew about Nisha.

Not even you

l was awake all night

" ln the morning, l was scared

that someone would come upstairs..."

and the secret would be exposed

" Aunt...

- What is it, dear?"

l've decided to fast today.

- What's special about today?

l want to fast for my husband.

- What a noble woman we have

" He's abroad, and my dear girl is

worried about him back home"

l want to read the Holy Gita

till l see the Moon

Don't let anyone come upstairs.

- Very well. Go on

Nobody will come

" That night, Nisha's condition worsened"

" lnstead of subsiding,

her fever had increased"

l didn't know what to do

lt was difficult to hide her

in that condition

" l knew, at daybreak, someone or

the other would come upstairs"

Nisha's secret would be exposed.

l was very scared

" lf l had called a doctor, the whole

household would have got to know"

Then l thought of going out myself

and fetching some medicines...

so that Nisha would feel better

and leave in the morning

l gave her a sari

of mine and said...

" Nisha, wake up and wear my clothes.

l'm going to bring some medicines"

" Even if someone comes upstairs,

keep lying down. Get up"

" Wear this, Nisha. Even if someone

comes, he'll think l'm lying here"

lf you had indeed given her

a sari of yours...

where are the clothes

your sister was wearing?

The clothes are right here.

Come with me

They're in there

My diary! l've found my diary!

l had kept it on the table

where l also kept Nisha's clothes

" When l hid the clothes, the diary

must've been carried with it"

" Yes, l remember now..."

Hats off to you

When did you keep the clothes there?

And when did you keep the diary?

" That's a nice drama you've enacted.

- No,.. this is no drama"

Shut up!

l know your men are in town

You got someone to hide

the diary in the clothes...

and he informed you in the asylum

that the job was done...

and you escape from the asylum to

show that the diary's right here!

" What is this if not a drama?

- Believe me, l'm not lying"

" Believe me, l'm speaking the truth!"

Look at this

This is my mother

And that's my twin-sister. Nisha

And this is me... it's a picture

of our childhood

Any news?

- We're still at it

Let's go either ways.

But remember...

l want a cross-fire

when l start firing

" Do we have men outside?

- Oh yes, sir"

" He's dead-meat, if he steps out.

- So let's go"

Thakur! The bandit Suryavar Singh

is in the courtyard

Stay there.

Don't come down

" No, don't kill him!

Don't kill him!"

No...

Don't kill him! Don't !

He's been hit by a bullet.

But why did the girl interfere?

Hold the fire!

lt'll kill the girl

Thakur saheb...

l want to meet only you

Step back. Stay here

lf you guys are still suspicious...

here you are

l'm the Thakur. What do

you want to say to me?

Thakur saheb...

l wanted to tell you that...

your wife is alive.

- What are you talking?

" lt's true, Thakur saheb.

Your wife is alive"

She's your wife

And this woman...

the one you have built

this monument for...

is my Nisha

She was my wife

Nisha was angry with me

She wanted me to give up

loot and murder

" One day, she ran away from me

and came to the city"

l came to the city

to take Nisha back...

" and in a case of mistaken identities,

l carried Geeta with me"

Sister Geeta...

" because of me, you've had to

go through a lot of trouble"

Please forgive me

Nisha...

Everywhere you go...

my shadow will follow you

Everywhere you go...

my shadow will follow you

My shadow...
