Qissa: The Tale of a Lonely Ghost Page #2

Now you've become a real man.

Don't worry.

Kanwar,

don't tell your mother about it.

The room of mangoes, O Mother!

Bring the child to the room of mangoes!

All pain will be assuaged, O Mother!

Teach your son to walk like a fragrance!

Your son!

Teach him to walk like a fragrance!

The room of mangoes, O Mother!

Bring the child to the room of mangoes!

I walk the path of clouds

A son is born into my home! O, I fly!

A son in my home!

A moon glimmers in my home!

My son, my moon!

I fly! I fly!

A boy has come to my home, I fly!

Kanwar!

Neeli, wait!

-No, I have to go.

Neeli!

Your favourite dessert tonight!

I've been singing for you

since you were born.

I also sang at your turban ceremony.

Neeli, look!

What have you found to rob?

Your own people will kill you!

- You think I've come to rob your palace?

Let's see.

What a great hunter!

Show it to me.

The daughter of a gypsy

has come to whore herself?

Don't even try.

You'll never be able to catch me.

Run and we'll see.

Do you always talk like this?

Like what?

- Like you smell sh*t all around you.

I wanted to say sorry for slapping you.

Now, I feel like slapping you again.

So ask me to forgive you.

Have you ever sat in a truck before?

Or are you just a know-all?

Yes, many times.

Fine.

But I always sat in the back.

Never in the front!

Come on.

Today you sit in the front.

I also want to drive a truck.

Will you teach me?

No.

Have you ever gone hunting?

When do girls ever go hunting?

What nonsense you talk!

My father killed a deer once.

And the whole village feasted on it!

I've killed bears.

The first time I was so scared.

It was father who had to shoot the bear.

He was very upset with me.

But my second bear

I killed with one shot.

One night, it came to my cabin door.

And kept scratching

my door with its claws.

It made no other sound.

I stood here with my rifle.

Then I heard something.

It felt like the bear was going away.

I opened the door.

But there it was.

It jumped up on its two feet

and rushed at me.

I shot into the dark of its mouth.

Are you afraid of the dark?

Not at all.

Let's see, my brave one...

I am off, then.

Stay and cry here all night.

I'm going.

What's happening there?

A gypsy girl has been missing

since last night.

I'll send some of my men into the forest.

You come with me.

Don't worry.

I'm with you.

We'll find your daughter.

I hope the night wasn't too scary.

If you misbehave again,

I'll leave you locked up here forever.

Now, get lost!

I told you to go.

Your father is searching for you.

Come, let's go.

You have to marry me now.

- What?

You have to marry me now.

Or my family will kill me.
