Qissa: The Tale of a Lonely Ghost Page #3

And you, too.

It's the only way

they can redeem their honour.

I didn't do anything.

They won't believe that.

You tell them.

They won't believe me.

-Look...

My father will fix everything.

If this had happened to your sisters,

what would your Papaji do then?

I was born under an inauspicious star.

It's not my destiny to marry.

A wife like me

could change your destiny.

That really scared you, didn't it?

So you think you scared me?

-Of course, I did!

Let go of me!

You dog! You bully!

Get off me!

Let go of me!

You dog! You bully!

Get off me!

Get off me!

Kanwar!

Tarlok, wait! Please wait.

I request

your daughter's hand for my son.

My daughter?

My Neeli?

-Yes.

You are a great, honourable man.

Oh, we are relatives now!

My son has become a man.

A man?

Papaji!

My brave son!

Serve some milk to Kanwar.

Child, you come with me.

Eat!

Why don't you dance?

You should have told me the truth

before the wedding.

Now you're the queen of this mansion.

Whatever you want you will get.

Clothes, jewellery...

Everything in this house is yours.

We have no tradition of the veil

in this house.

You should have kept the tradition

for your son.

You... shut up!

What are you saying?

Take off your veil.

Do you hear me?

You don't look stupid to me.

I told you, Kanwar had an accident

when he was a boy.

Nothing can be done about it now.

Mehar.

You speak to her.

Let me go back to my home.

- Don't say that.

You think any married woman

can live like this?

Can you not live here as my daughter?

Mehar...

This girl will do

whatever we ask her to do.

She'll accept everything as her destiny.

And Kanwar?

Tell me about his destiny.

How's this one?

Beautiful?

Look at this one.

How does this look?

- Very beautiful.

Very beautiful, isn't it?

Let's buy this one.

Are you happy?

When you have a son,

I'll buy you the whole shop.

And how's our new bride?

You know,

I was uprooted from my country and home.

All the dreams of my ancestors

turned to ash.

It is only a wife...

who can give you that which

no one can ever take away from you.

Everything comes to an end.

Nothing lasts.

If you manage to stay happy,

Kanwar will be happy too.

Without your mother,

you would never have been mine.

By giving you to me, your mother

rooted me to this earth again.

And who could be a better son

to any father than you.

Come and eat.

Neeli?

Where are you going?

You are a part of my family.

Where are you going?

Our future is in your hands.

You cannot leave us and go.

Listen to me.

Kanwar!

What are you doing here?

Go away.

Go.

Kanwar!

Go away from here!

Go!

Go away from here, Kanwar!

Understand... You...

Listen to me.
