Souten Page #5

Could you please go out now?

Please?

Have you seen what your

daughter-in-law has done, mom?

You were lucky to die early...

or you'd never have been able

to bear the shock!

There will be no child

in this house anymore.

We will never have a daughter.

You are worried about the baby

and not your wife!

You are a cheap and

selfish man!

Your wife is lying ill.

And you... you are enacting a drama

before that picture!

What you have done with my life

is worse than a drama!

I will never forgive you for this.

Go away, I say.

Get out!

I don't know why

I was drawn here.

I just came along.

Are you in a hurry?

Could you wait for 5 minutes?

It's time for the library to close.

Could I ask you something?

- Go ahead.

Why are you always

at war with yourself?

I'm not.

Your face says it all.

You are in conflict with yourself.

I want to solve

this conflict!

But how do I do it?

Smile. And your sorrows

will go away.

Smile.

Do you like watching football?

Look at the irony

for the football.

It was made to be

kicked around!

I told you!

No. 10 had to score!

The weather bureau has

issued a warning.

A cyclone is fast approaching

Mauritius.

The match has to be suspended.

Spectators are advised to reach

their homes as early as possible.

If it wasn't for the storm,

I'd have offered you some coffee.

But the warning has been issued.

You have a 40-minute drive ahead.

So I won't stop you.

Take care!

You are always sitting pretty!

Come to drop me sometimes...

and I'd worship the ground

You tread on.

You are omniscient, Lord.

Shyam came with a storm

in his heart today.

Do give him peace of mind, Lord.

I know you are very angry with me.

What do we share anymore?

Don't say such things, Shyam.

It's true. I didn't want to

have a baby for 4 or 5 years.

But... I didn't ever imagine that

I'd never be able to bear a child.

I regret what I have done.

I don't know why, but I was

misled by my mother.

What will regret and apologies

do now?

This is precisely the difference

between a mother and stepmother.

She didn't let you be a wife,

nor become a mother.

She has turned you into

an object of sex and lust!

This body that you possess...

is no longer the sacred

embodiment of two souls in love.

It is now only for lust!

You are insulting me!

It is you who has insulted

me and my love!

You have defiled

even your body...

that deserved the exalted

status of a mother!

You are talking a lot of nonsense!

You are heaping abuses on me!

I'm not just your wife...

I'm a woman, too!

You have abused the

pride of your wife!

You have abused

a woman's honor!

It is actually your

arrogance at work, Shyam.

It is your money that

is doing the talking!

You are no longer the man

I had loved.

Only when God once again brings you

back to being a fisherman...

maybe you will deserve

my love.

God will straighten you out!

He will avenge me!

What happened, Gopal?

We are doomed! The new ship

we had bought, has sunk.

The entire crew is missing.

Send helicopters and rescue-teams...

save as many you can!

I've done all that, sir.

But there has been no response.

Try again!

The helicopters and the

rescue teams have returned.

No one has survived.

Even the insurance of

the ship had expired.

Won't you even ask me...

what I've been doing these days

and nights in the office?

I'm used to all this now.

I know your other passion;

work.

There is a time even for

taunts and jibes, Ruku.

I have returned home

a broken man.

lam not taunting you.

And I'm not interested in

picking up any fights.

I've got to attend a party

and I'm already late.

Despite what I've told you...

will you still go to the party?

Stop talking in riddles and

tell me what's happened.

Our ship that was headed here...

ran into rough weather...

it has sunk.

So what's wrong? We can

claim the insurance.

The insurance cover

had expired.

The entire crew on the ship

was killed. No one has survived.

I'm sorry about those

killed, Shyam.

As for the insurance cover...

any company with people like

Mr. Gopal at its helm of affairs...

will meet with the same fate.

Must you go to the party?

It's the Governor's party.

When I accepted the invitation

to attend the party...

I didn't know your ship would sink.

You know now.

You know too, these people

of high society.

How they take offense when one

doesn't attend their parties.

You are worried about

the high-society...

but you don't care for those

whose wives and children...

are widowed and orphaned!

I told you I'm sorry!

What else can I do?

Must I mourn those whom I have

never even met nor known?

Must I sit in mourning with you?

No. You must rejoice, Ruku.

Tonight is celebration

time for you!

God has listened to the

curses you hurled at me!

These taunts of yours

do pierce the heart, Shyam!

The cyclone's going to hit the

city! There's been a warning!

Where are you off to, sir?

There's been a third warning!

Why did you venture out

in this storm?

Something could have

happened to you.

The storm back home was

worse than this one.

So I came over.

A ship of ours sank today.

Every member of the crew

is dead.

Not one survived.

I couldn't bear to see the plight

of their widows and children...

Where are you going?

I must leave.

You faced dangers

to arrive here...

but I'm not going to let you

go out in the stormy night.

Try to understand, Radha!

No matter what! I will not

let you endanger your life.

For my sake, Mr. Shyam!

You may leave,

after the storm abates.

The storm will pass,

and so will the night...

but what will you do if

this is called a sinful night?

Merely giving it a name will

not make it a sinful night!

But who will understand our

relationship, Radha?

Had there been someone else here,

even your dad...

I'd have stayed back.

And what if I give you

a greater witness than my dad?

There He is...

the biggest of all witnesses.

Who is it?

I'm the one. I break stones

with a piece of glass.

Whom do you wish to meet?

The gentleman I wish to see

is in there.

There was a cyclone last night.

Since you didn't return,

everybody was worried.

I was looking for you and I saw your

car in a bad shape. I was scared.

But I see now...

you are pretty comfortable here.

Will you go out for a moment?

Sure. Step into some clothes.

I'll wait for you.

My life is surrounded by storms.

If I need you again...

may I come over?

As Rukmini's husband, my doors

will always be open for you.

Greetings, uncle.

Greetings.

Miss Rukmini...

Please don't be formal.

I'm like your daughter.

Call me Ruku.

What are you doing at

a poor man's place...

You're being formal again!

I've come to apologize

for all my mistakes.

I'm terribly ashamed at

what I have done, uncle.

No, dear. You are like

my daughter, Radha.

Isn't she in?

- Who? Radha?

Yes. I've come to invite you to

a party at my place this evening.

Invite me?

- Yes, uncle.

I realize now.

There are no castes.
