Vivah Page #8

Iet her depart with the belief that

her mother has blessed her way

All her life, she has yearned

for that one smile of yours

It's for the child's joy ;

even if we do something..

.. we dislike, we won't lose face

But why such resentment, because

she isn't your daughter?

Better, you do not hear the reply

Remember Rama..?

Whenever your knee was in pain, it

was Poonam giving you a massage

Enough

Today, you refuse to acknowledge her.

But mind you, when she leaves us..

you will cry the most

I am your Mother,

you are my daughter

Our bond..

forever,

holds us together

In this home, you shall

never be a stranger..

though you go to make another

home for yourself

In both homes, truly..

you'll belong forever

Make sure you're done with making

the sweets tonight..

we're cooking for 400 guests,

there should be no shortages..

the guests are coming from Delhi

Chhote Babu..

Chhote Babu.. fire!

The house is on fire

Chhote Babu..

Fire!

It's a fire!

- Everyone.. out!

Out.. everyone outside

Hurry!

But how did all this..

- All questions later..

Get out, first

Water! Douse the fire!

Quick.. more water! Hurry!

Bhagat! Where are Chhoti and

Bitto? - Chhoti and Bitto..?

Somebody save the bride!

Bitto!

Uncle

Don't panic..

walk to the door

Stay back

Quick!

Your wedding dress?

Make way for the bride

Where is Chhoti.. where is Chhoti?

She must be inside..?

- No, she isn't.. go find her

Chhoti..?

Chhoti..!

Munim.. Chhoti..?

- I've no idea

Listen.. I think I saw

her going up the stairs

Listen.. Bitto.. wait!

Where are you going, Bitto?

Stop

Krishnakant.. Krishnakant..

Chhoti

Chhoti

Sister

Leave me!

Chhoti.. Chhoti..

Aunty,

Aunty,

Chhoti is fine,

she's all right

Poonam

Chhoti!

Call Dr Rashid, a burns case is here

The patient has severe burns, Doctor.

- Okay, let's go

Excuse me.. who's the

patient's father?

Yes..?

Please come

Sit

The patient has approximately 40

percent superficial to deep burns,

third degree burns included

Luckily, her face was untouched

Doctor, tomorrow morning,

her bridegroom is arriving

It is Poonam's wedding tomorrow

About half of her body is burnt,

the wounds are deep

A wedding tomorrow is out of question

Forgive me for saying.. in such

cases even families abandon their own,

Iesser said the better.. for someone

who promised to marry her

Just now, your daughter

is fighting for her life

Tomorrow morning, as soon as possible,

we must go in for a major surgery

Now, if you will excuse me, I must

discuss the case with my team

Krishnakant,

by now, Prem must be starting out

We ought to inform..

Harishchandra quickly! Please

Sir.. Bhagat

Yes Bhagat?

Harishchandra, don't

come here now..

What happened, Papa?

Excuse me

Bhavna, one minute.

- What is it?

What's the matter Sister-in-law?

While we are getting ready for surgery

one of you may meet the patient

Doctor,

can I see Sister.. even

from far? Please

Okay, please wait

Uncle

Is Chhoti well, Uncle?

Nothing can harm Chhoti

No fire can hurt Chhoti

Tell Aunty, nothing

can harm Chhoti

Chhoti.. Uncle..

Look Rama, the bridegroom

has arrived for Poonam

Look at her palanquin,

so gaily decorated

Just a while now, then

she will be gone

Didn't I tell you, you'll cry the most

It was her beauty that always

pained your eyes,

so much so, you wouldn't

even look at her

Look Rama, for our Chhoti's sake,

she has sacrificed her beauty

Sacrificed her beauty

Doctor, after the operation, Poonam

will recover fully, won't she?

Right now, nothing can be said,

it's a very delicate case

There's more to recovery than

the healing of wounds

In such cases, one loses

self-confidence

And the pain in burning..

you and I cannot imagine,

what that pain is like

Krishnakant, we're all ready

for Poonam's operation

It's a major surgery

I have informed you of the

complications in this case

Your permission is necessary

We will try our best

Two days from now..

as the clock strikes this hour,

you'll be giving your daughter away

Uncle

I will sign

The wedding will happen today

Now,

at the appointed time,

I seek your permission

No son,

your emotions are far-removed

from the reality of things

You will not be able

to see her in pain

The girl in pain is not

only your daughter,

she's also our daughter-in-law

The best surgeons from

Delhi will be here soon

Poonam's well-being is

now our responsibility

Be seated

Sunil..

- Papa..?

Come with me. Let's meet Dr Rashid

May I meet Poonam, Uncle?

Poonam

Everything will be fine, Poonam

Look, what Sister-in-law has sent..

vermilion for my bride

It's our wedding today, Poonam

Sister, leave us alone

for two minutes, please

Once.. there was a pretty girl

who had a right to that vermilion

Today's ugly truth..

Iies under this canopy

Neither am I unawares

of truths Poonam,..

.. nor are you a stranger

to my intentions

If you want my love for you to

diminish at this sight of you..

that is inconceivable, Poonam

You always prayed for me Poonam and

your prayers were always answered

Today again.. please pray for me,

pray, that I find the strength within

me, to never let your faith weaken

You are my companion, Poonam..

my most beautiful one,

the one who's always worried,

lest I catch a cold

One who cares about what I eat,

what I wear, more than I myself

The one who knows me more

than I know myself

On our wedding day, l

want from you.. a gift

Give me all your pain

Before the auspicious moment goes by,

Iet the rituals be done

Let there be no distance..

between the vermilion

and your forehead

This is the wedding altar,

the sacred fire,

the festive home

At this wedding altar,

in God's presence,

in this festive home..

to anoint you with vermilion..

I have the right

I take you as my bride,

I have the right

Stop

For once, take off the covers,

look at what I've become

My love doesn't deserve

this test, Poonam

And you know it

Sweets, for everyone.

- Thank you, sir

Where am I to sign, Doctor?

Mr Prem,

in this hospital, so far..

we've only seen.. brides tortured,

burnt for dowry

Today, for the first time ever, here..

we've seen someone becoming a bride

This is Dr Jain, a dear friend. Also,

a famous burns specialist

And his team.. this is Dr Rashid

We're here to help you

in any manner we can

You're most welcome, sir. It's

an honor to have you here

We've a battle waiting to be won

Take the new bride to the

operation theater, please

Please come, Doctor

Uncle, tea

No..

- We'll share

Why are you worrying, Krishnakant?

He is doing the worrying for

us. You drink your tea

Thank you so much, Doctor.

Congratulations

Doctor, how is she?

Operation successful

After 48 hours, when bandages come

off, we'll know the exact position

This first battle we have won, Prem

For at least a month and a half,

Poonam must stay here

Doctor..

Afterwards, she can go home?

Sure

Okay, until then, our daughter-in-law
