Devdas Page #3

he used to drop in.

But today, he still hasn't come.

- The city does that to you.

Man changes in every respect.

Maybe Devdas has changed too!

Aunty...

lsn't that Devdas's voice?

- Yes.

Devdas! You look so different.

Come right in, son.

Bless you. You have a long life.

We were just talking about you.

You really look different.

- Because we're meeting after ages!

Where's Paro?

- She was just here.

Must have gone upstairs.

Devdas is here, dear.

- Never mind. l'll go upstairs.

So, how's everything?

You're so grown up!

Okay... it's pretty late.

l'll go home.

What's this? You just came,

and you're already leaving?

l'm tired after the journey.

l'll come again tomorrow.

Has Devdas gone?

- Yes.

He and Paro get along so well.

And why not?

They've grown up together.

lf they wed, what a lovely

couple they'll make!

Why not approach his father?

- How is that possible?

Why build castles in air?

They're high-caste landlords.

lf caste is important, so is beauty.

Our Paro is a dazzler!

l'll go and see Devadas's mother.

Let's see how she refuses!

l think l've left the store-room

open. Go and check, dear.

Paro's grandma spoke to me

about Paro's marriage.

Naturally.

She must get married now.

That's why she brought up the topic.

She said if Devdas...

And what did you reply?

- l? l refused outright.

Good, they are not of our level...

then to have them next-door.

Don't get influenced by them.

You really can't see

where you're going!

Mother, who asked you to approach

Devdas's mother for Paro's hand?

You could've talked to me first.

Landlords! Of higher caste!

l would've never approached anyway!

We needn't beg to get her married.

People will beg for her instead!

Why are you worried?

l can't help it, son.

- Stop it!

You think nobody has approached.

l've got 6 proposals for her!

See if l don't get her married...

to a bigger landlord than

our neighbours here!

l'll fix everything within a week.

ln fact, l'll go right now!

Where are you going, Paro?

- To get some water.

Just give me the chillies

l've put out to dry in the sun.

Why have you stopped here, Paro?

- Just like that.

Tell me, how old is the groom?

Whose groom?

- Yours, of course.

About 23-24 yrs. old.

- What! l heard he's over 40!

l don't know who's over 40.

l don't keep a track on everyone.

l just know that my groom will be

about 23-24 yrs. old.

And, his name?

You know everything about me,

and not this?

How will l know your mind?

- Oh? Then come close... closer...

Shameless girl! Don't be funny!

Tell me his name.

l just told you.

- But Grandma told me you're...

engaged to somebody from Manekpur.

- How can that be?
