Tehzeeb Page #7

here in the last couple of hours

I'm responsible for whatever

the newspaper has published

We have no relationship

whatsoever

The truth is that I used my contacts

to have the photographs published

To give yourself and Salim

a bad name?

I had no other choice!

But what did you gain

by doing all this?

I've got back the man

I can't live without!

I'm madly in love with Sujoy

He's the one I've returned

to India for

So...?

- He never appreciated my love

"I knew, I could have him back"

If he saw me with someone else

I wanted him to be tormented too

So that he'd fold his hands and

come back to you on his knees?

He has called me a dozen times

since this morning

But I don't know

You didn't think of Salim even once

when you did all this

I wanted to convey to Sujoy...

that he can't treat women

like his personal property

"Tehzeeb, please try

and understand me"

I'm the guilty party.

Not him

"In the publishing business, you've sure

learnt the art of playing with words"

"But it's difficult to utter

such words, Tehzeeb"

"My young sweetheart,

my handsome hunk..."

"I've lost my heart to you"

"The hunter is himself

the prey"

"What injustice is this...?

What tyranny is this...?"

What if my picture was published in

the newspaper instead of yours?

"Salim, we share a relationship.

Of faith"

And it's a very delicate one.

Isn't it?

For you... don't drop it

You just can't stand straight

And this is for you!

So what do you want from me?

- But you've given me already

"That's nothing, my child.

If I could..."

I'd give away the world to you.

Ask whatever you want to

Don't go away

"I'll have to go, my child.

There's so much of work to do"

Go away

Good girl

I'm going with you

Sure. Why not?

What could be better for me that

my little bird's going with me?

"In any case, I don't like

to be by myself at home"

"Mama, don't make false promises

to Nazo"

Nazo darling... don't you

like to live with us?

"I do, but it's better

to be with Mama"

All right then

"I'll go first and tidy your room,

hire a nurse for you..."

"and then call my little

Nazo over, okay?"

I'm going with you

"Nazo, you mustn't be stubborn"

"Nazo, if you go away, who will

play snakes-and-ladders with me?"

"Suman, get the snakes-and-ladders

board quickly"

"Nazo, you will leave us

and go away?"

I'm going with Mama

"Take her away with you, Madam.

Look how tormented she is"

You keep out of this

How she controls her feelings!

So you taught your maid servant

to be so insolent?

Isn't today a happy day?

My little girl's eating

the cake now!

"Break..."

"the shackles"

"Break..."

"the chains"

"Break..."

"the shackles"

"Break..."

"the chains"

"My child, don't give your mother

such a cruel punishment"

Lord Almighty!

Save my child!

I've told you. She was playing

with it and the gun went off

I've heard that already

What I'm asking is who's

the owner of this revolver?

"I mean, in whose name

is it licensed?"

You'll have the details of the licence

in just a few days

"Which means, this gun does

not belong to you"

Now look. I've met the Magistrate.

He's a personal friend

"When Nazo is better, I will personally

come to the police station and..."

"Because the Magistrate is your friend,

no one has been arrested yet"

This is a case of suicide

It can even be a case of

attempted murder

So what do you want to do?

Arrest me...?

So go ahead

Why do you police always harass

people instead of helping them?

But nothing can be said yet

"The bullet was lodged in the neck,

she has lost a lot of blood"

Anything could happen

"Doctor, will Nazo live or not?

- Please be patient..."

Will she survive or not...?

Tell me!

"Even if it's a lie,

say she will survive, doctor!"

Say there's no cause for worry...

why're you staring like that at me?

"Are you guys not bothered at all?

Say something, dammit!"

What kind of doctors are they?

Salim...

They're doing their best.

- What was he saying to you...

"before I came out, Salim?

What was he saying...?"

The bullet hit her neck.

It's a deep injury

Nazo's life...

- Is in Allah's hands?

"Allah... save my Nazo, Lord"

Save my Nazo

O Merciful Lord...

"Lord, save my daughter...

save my daughter, please"

"Lord Ganesha...

save the poor child, please"

"This is no time to be angry,

my child. Drink it up"

"Don't touch me!

- What insolence is this, Tehzeeb?"

Sorrow mustn't drive you mad!

- It has happened because of you!

Only you! Why did you come at all

to set our world on fire...?

Thank you so much!

You've ruined everything!

Are you happy now?

"Are you satisfied...?

Go away, please. Go away!"

"Come to your senses, Tehzeeb!

Don't create a scene!"

You're the one who creates a scene!

With your dramatics of love

and affection as a mother!

You love no one

except yourself!

You first swallowed my father.

And now my sister...?

"Please hear me out, Tehzeeb...

- I don't want to listen to anything!"

You will have to listen!

- No!

You start a trial against me...

"and even deliver the verdict.

Your case, your arguments..."

and your judgement!

"You think I'm your

father's killer, isn't it?"

You think wrong!

"When all this happened,

you were still a child"

The mind of an impressionable

little child...

can't understand the

complexity of relationships

Anwar and I were not

just man and wife

We loved each other

"For my sake, he left his parents,

his house and all his wealth"

And I forgot about my world

and went to live in his

You were born then.

So was Nazo...

and our needs went on increasing.

I started singing again

The melodies that were meant

only for myself...

started fending for a family

"To begin with, Anwar liked my work,

my fame and glory very much"

But gradually...

when people started thinking of him

as just a shadow of mine...

he did what all the weaklings do

He sought refuge

in the bottle

When I returned home

that night...

I can do anything for you

Of course. Try me out

It's very late.

Go home now

"Welcome, welcome... sweetheart!"

Come to me too!

You're looking very

beautiful today!

What's gotten into you today?

You're showing me love

after all these years?

I can't think of an appropriate poem

to describe your tresses right now

"And even I did,

I still wouldn't recite it"

One does not adorn his beloved

with borrowed flowers

You've had too much to drink

"For all times to come,

the bottle is empty"

What do you mean?

- Just that...

I give it up forever

Swear it on me.

- I swear it on you!

May I say something?

Look after my children

What do you mean?

I mean...

you'll be the only one for them

after I'm gone

"What rubbish are you talking, Anwar?

What are you saying?"

Anwar! What are you doing?

Leave me alone!

What have you done...?

What you saw was right...

"but the conclusion you reached,

was wrong"

The truth is that it wasn't me

or my fame or my admirers...

that were responsible
