because youre jealous.

You dont want Bonlotika to be as

fortunate as Champawati.

Go inside, dear.

Champas husband came to us willingly.

This time, youve brought the first snake

you could find in the jungle.

How can you compare the two?

Youve changed so much.

You used to be so loving.

Stop your whining.

I dont have time for this.

Youll have to listen to me today.

You have thrown us out of the house

at the behest of Dhoneshwari.

You have reduced me and

your daughter to penury.

You have done things

no honorable man does.

But Bonlotika is like my own child.

Rather than marry her off

to a python...

...take a machete and

hack her yourself.

It will save her from

a horrible death at least.

Stop this madness. Please.

Sir?

What is it?

Ma'am is asking for you.

Just go away for a few days.

Bhodiya kai!

Bhodiya kai!

Keteki! There you are.

Looks like its in order.

Wait a minute.

Yes. Its more than

what was agreed upon.

Dont ask me why.

Its Kokaideos wish.

Where is he?

Gone to watch the Bihu.

Oh dear, what a shame!

Our lovely Tejimola toiling

in the dirt like a pig!

Who are you?

What do you want?

Im Bhadoi.

From Dhoneshwari ma'ams

house in Masgaon.

Im here to invite Tejimola...

...and you... to the wedding.

Whose wedding?

Our Bonlotika.

Shes marrying a python.

Isnt Dhoneshwaris daughter

already married to a python?

No! That was Rupeshwari ma'ams

daughter, Champawati.

Getting their daughters married

to snakes... crazy people!

Bon has said she wont get

married unless Tejimola comes.

Oh!

So much love

between friends?

Do you want to go to

the wedding, sweetheart?

Come inside.

- Whats this?

- Why did you pay more?

So I could meet you again.

No, no. You misunderstand.

What I meant was...

Can we sit and talk

under that tree?

Its about your outenga.

If youll take back this

extra money, I can leave.

I just want to help you.

In Maibong, they say a woman

once gave birth to a kitten.

In the far banks of the Bhoroli river,

I met a woman who was raised by a bird.

And in a village east of Sadiya...

...a ducks egg cracked one morning and

a girl hatched out of it.

Im a merchant.

I have traveled far and wide.

I have seen things, heard stories.

If I cant help you, I can

at the very least, understand you.

Tell me.

Tell me everything

from the beginning.

Will you stop your damned crying?

Is it my fault that youre cursed?

I need a child, not a vegetable!

Please... we...

we can try again...

Why? So that I can watch you

give birth to a lemon next?

Get out right now.

Or Ill brand you a witch.

Please... where will I go?

Here, take this! Cut it up and

make a nice curry for yourself.
