Highway Page #4

Synopsis: A city girl - young, full of life - is on the highway at night with her fiancé. Suddenly, her life is swung away from the brocade and jewelry of marriage to the harsh brutality of abduction. Her life will never be the same again. The gang is in a panic; the girl is a big industrialist's daughter, his links in the corridors of power make ransom out of the question. But for the leader of this group sending her back is not an option. As the days pass by, the scenery changes, the girl feels that she has changed as well. Gradually, a strange bond begins to develop between the victim and the oppressor. It is in this captivity that she, for the first time, feels free.

Sorry. I was very rude.

It's strange!

I'm never so rude to anyone.

Never!

I'm usually very well behaved.

I mean, I have good manners.

And with you..

Sorry.

I felt like throwing up..

- Shut up!

I am apologizing.

- Am I apologizing?

Are we here to show off

our good manners?

Show them off

in your father's house.

Hurry up!

Hi, Veera!

How are you?

How am I?

I'll think about it

and let you know.

Up!

What happened, sir?

What's inside?

Nothing, sir.

Nothing?

Driving an empty truck?

Just some household goods.

Or stolen goods from Rajasthan?

I swear on my mother, sir.

Get out!

Get down.

Open the back.

- Sir..

May I talk to you, sir?

- What is it?

We're in a hurry.

- So?

Can we work this out?

Bribing the police?

You little scumbag!

Do you have the means?

- No, sir.

Open up! Move.

Open it!

Open it.

Open up. Right now!

Want a caning?

Quick!

The other one.

Step aside!

You look dishonest.

So, you confused us.

Get going!

Are you offended?

Should I confiscate it?

No, sir.

Let them go.

What.. What happened?

Were you hiding?

Did you hide?

Yes.

Why?

This was your chance.

Why did you hide?

I don't know.

What do you mean?

That's what!

I don't know!

Maybe, I've lost my mind.

I could've escaped so easily.

What's wrong with me?

What's going on?

Eat quickly if you want to eat.

We'll not stop

for a long time now.

I was nine years old.

At home..

He used to bring

imported chocolates for me.

My uncle.

He made me sit on his lap

and loved me.

And then alone..

In the bathroom

he would make me

sit on his lap again

and love me.

I used to scream.

But he'd cover my mouth..

Like this.

Cover my mouth

so that my screams

could not come out.

It hurt so much.

It's all over.

We're done.

My doll.

You are the best girl

in the whole world.

"The most beautiful.."

He came home again.

Again and again.

Inside, I was screaming

my lungs out.

Don't tell anyone. Okay?

One day, I told mummy.

I explained to her.

Mummy said

Don't tell anyone.

Okay?

I didn't tell anyone.

Then one day, it all stopped.

But he still visited.

With chocolates for me.

He comes to the house

even now.

I sit on his lap.

He loves me.

I smile.

My doll.

The most beautiful of all..

The beasts!

Manners. Culture.

Greet them

touch their feet in respect.

They're all around you.

You have to survive among them

laugh with them

befriend them

love them.

The place you've got me from..

I don't want to go back there.

The place we're going to..

I don't want to get there.

But this road..

It's very good.

I want this road to never end.

Hello. Get in touch

with ACP Chaudhary.

Ask him to report to my office
