They died of cholera. I raised him since.

To whom can l entrust him?

Who will love him like me? Who'll know when he's hungry?

Staying with you, he too might contract this disease.

Try, you'll find some support. L'll now take leave.

Continue the medication and try to get admitted soon.

You bit me! Rascal!

L'll tell your uncle!

Why do you snatch things from others?

Why do you want the balloon? Stop crying now.

Why did you take his balloon?

- L like balloons. - Like them.

Ramu's father bought him 2 balloons. Nobody buys me any.

If your father were here, he too would buy you some.

Tell my Papa to buy me one.

- You know where he is? - You said, he left me when l was little.

Call him. l'll ask him to give me a balloon, a ball.

- Call him. - L will.

You want to go to your Papa? Then first stop crying.

You're a good soldier. Now be a good boy and change clothes.

Don't' you dare! You devils! Monkeys! Get right back here!

L'll break your bones! Come back! What do you want?

- L want to admit this child. - Here? Another nuisance for me!

Don't you see these devils? Want the child to be a crook?

I say, go away. Go.

Let's go.

- Papa hasn't come. lt's late. - Lt's evening. He's on his way.

- Will he give me a toy? - Many toys.

He'll love you a lot. Will you leave me and stay with your Papa?

- Where is he? - He's coming

Not at all..

Let's go..

- Give me some alms.. - Get lost!

He too is no good.

- L'd gone home and found out. - All well?

Yes. l'm in trouble. I need your help.

Are you going to Chatterji's?

There you'll find Hema, Lalita, Ragini and Padmini.

Tell them l've gone to Delhi on urgent work.

- Are you going? - No. l told Malti l'd give her some pearls.

And l was to take the other girls to a hotel after the party.

- But l have no money. - What?

Honest, father cut off my pocket money yesterday.

Rita Gupta's father instigated him.

- L'm ruining his daughter. - The black mailer got to your Dad

As evidence he gave father a picture of me and Rita.

- How did your Dad manage? - God knows.

But he isn't giving me cash and if l don't marry a girl of his choice..

He'll throw me out. What do l do? l'm in a thick soup.

I'm stone broke. I just have Rs 10.50

- Give this old woman some alms. - Don't bother me. Go.

- What have you decided? - L'll agree.

But he has picked Lata.

- Ambika's daughter. - Her!

- You'll marry fatso? - L can't marry of my choice

A cow or a buffalo won't matter.

- L'll get money at least. - That's true.

Go on or you'll be late. l'll stay here. Give me Rs. 500 tomorrow.

Very well.

- That's your father. - Where?

- Smoking a cigarette. - Him..? - Yes.

That's your Papa. You remember what l taught you.

Don't leave him this time or he'll leave for good.

Now go.

Go on

- That's a nice name. - And what's yours?

I'm Kamal Rai the great.

You're very smart. Go and play.

- Will you get me a balloon? And toys..? - Yes, sure.

- L'll go with you. - Where? - With you.

- Your family will look for you - No, l'll go with you.

- Don't insist. - Papa, take me along.

- Who is your Papa? - You. - Sit quietly.

Papa, take me along!!

That's very interesting.

Love in the park and suicide when it is not reciprocated.

But we've never heard of a man leaving a child here.

- Where's your mother? - Papa knows.

Listen to that. The man says he's unmarried, doesn't' know the child..

But the child says, he's the father and knows about the mother.

- The child is his! - Yes.

Be polite.

As if you're being polite! Troubling an innocent man.

Is it decency to leave your child behind?

L've never seen him. He's forcing himself on me!

Forcing himself? Why on you?

Why isn't he calling us Papa? He could've latched on to me.

- There's something fishy. - Two blows will make set it right

- Don't mess with me. - Let's show him.

Call the cops. He'll come to his senses.

- Yes, go and complain. - Mr. Cycle go to the cops.

Quickly get them here.

Mister, hold on..

- Why are you laughing? - What a crowd..

We're the public.

- Are you fooling us? - You're so gullible.

You're insulting us. What did you just say?

You didn't understand my secret This boy is naughty and adamant.

No other reason. Why else would l leave him?

- Son, let's go. - That's wonderful.

- You're one strange man. - Fooling us for no reason.

- How funny.. - L was kidding.

Made a mountain out of a molehill.

You got us involved for nothing. Let's go back to our game.

- L'll give you a tight slap! - Don't..Papa is beating me!!

Shut up.

Want to gather a crowd again? Found a good excuse for a car ride!

Where do you live?

L'll go to your house.

My house! You'll ruin me! Where's your home..?

What colour is it? Red, yellow..?

- L'm going to your house. - Enough joy ride. Now get off!

Papa, don't leave me!

I won't. Be quiet.

- That's a long ride. Now will you get off? - No.

We're in the car for so long, l'm hungry. What about you?

- Yes. - Hungry? - Yes.

We'll eat at a hotel then go home.

Leave the coat. l won't runaway. Hold my hand.

- Be seated, sir. - No, we'll sit in.

- For you..? - Cold water.

Sit here. Latched on to me..

- Couldn't you find another Papa? - L know you're my father.

Father..

Get the food.

Will this fill your stomach?

Eat these. These delicious.

- How much? - Rs. 4.50

l'm going to pay up. You carry on eating. l wont' run away.

You won't leave?

You eat everything. My darling son.

- Ls there another way out? - At the back.

Cant' you see?

- L'm sorry.. - Forget it.

Stop!

Where are you running off? L've been looking for you.

Now that l have you, you can't get away.

- What have l done? - Forgotten? Don't' recall?

You assaulted me in the war

- l'll avenge that.. - Ls that so? - Yes.

L've been looking for you for 200 years. Let's fight.

- You have a smoke? - What?

L'll get it from the shop. Don't go away

Mr. Tomato, do you only travel in cars?

Yes, l sat in the car when l didn't see you.

- Very good. - May l come in front?

No, thanks. Stay put. I can't jump out of a running car.

- Come here later. - No..

- What are you eating? - What you gave me.

It's delicious. Want to eat?

You eat it. l'm only fated surprises.

- Come in.. - Sit here.

- L want your advice for a problem - What problem?

Regarding Rita Gupta? L'd told you to be careful.

- This is their business. - This is a new nuisance.

This rascal of a child got after me in the park.

- Wonder who is behind this. - But who is the boy?

I asked him a 1000 times. You try your luck.

- What's your father's name. - Say it properly.

I made a mistake in telling him my name. He memorised it.

- What are you staring at? - Son, who is this?

- He's my Papa. - That's how he gathered a crowd!

I kept saying, l don't know him but who pays any heed.

So l had to come here. How do l get rid of him?

Don't' keep secrets from lawyers

l'm your friend. Frankly tell me what the matter is.

- What do you mean? - Don't be angry.

What did you do and when? Where did you hide him all along?

I first saw him in the park l know nothing else!

Why are you concerned when you don't know him at all?

Hand him to the police then.

Great idea. As if l never thought of it.

He'll call me Papa in the police station and they'll call father..

L'll be in more trouble. He's already angry regarding Rita.

- L know you well.. - Shut up!

I don't need your advice. Golliwog, let's go.

Yes, tomato! Come on.

Did l wrong you somehow that you're troubling me?

- What? - My head!

- Where do l take you? - Let's go home.

Sure, that's all that's left.

All the problems of the world crash on my head.

I don't understand where to take you.

He'll tell father.

- You're here? - Enjoying a picnic all alone?

The mosquitoes are having a picnic

- l've been waiting for you. - L was cooking. Got away finally

But l can't stay long.

Why?

- What are you looking at? - Thinking of keeping you with me

What are you looking at?

You know your father. Will he agree?

- He'll agree if l say. - No!

It concerns our family honour. A singing teacher can't marry my son!

I'm saying it for the last time this marriage will never take place!

Don't pay any attention to him. We'll get married and stay alone.

- That's not possible. - Why?

Because marriage is a union of two families not just hearts.

If your father won't accept me as your bride..

If they can't honour me, l don't want to marry you.

- What are you saying? - This can't happen.

It's best if we forget each other.

Don't ever come to my house!

You'll go mad like this.

- Why would l go mad? - No, get up. - Let me be.

You want to forget everything?

Come with me.

Hold him while l take a picture

We'll make a fortune by showing this to his father.

- Taking a picture? - No.

Get me an umbrella. I want to go home.

Why have you come? l said we must no longer meet.

- Forget me. - L tried hard to forget

- But l can't.. - You're drunk!

- Have you stooped so low? - L'll stoop even lower if you..

This isn't possible. Go away.

Whom are you calling? There's nobody here.

- You want to go home? - Yes. - L'll take you home.

You're thinking again l've.. I haven't come for that.

I'm in trouble. Out of helplessness l came to you

- lt's no big deal. - L know everything.

- What do you know? - Go away.

- Listen, l'm really in.. - Go away!

Let's go.

What do you want to say?

- L'm worried because of him. - Who is the boy?

Boy? He's more like my Pop.

I want your advice if you won't feel offended.

Come on in.

- What is the matter? - Actually..

Stay put. Come that way..

- Sit down. - Don't runaway. - L wont'

My sweet son!

- Who are you? - L'm Tomato.

- Where did you come from? - L came with Papa.

- Where is your Papa? - Talking there.

Don't' touch. Sit quiet.

Let me see who has come.

You spun a nice story but it's not convincing.

Probably because it's not made up.

- Look.. - Even after Rita's case?

You have the wrong notion. You've no idea how had they are

- Her father tried to blackmail me - l don't need to hear this.

Why did you bring the boy here?

I first thought of you in my moment of trouble.

- Lf you keep him here.. - You want me to look after your son!

- L can't do this! - How many times do l..

- Tell me where to take him. - To a children's home.

Why don't you arrange to keep him there?

I didn't think of that but this late

Keep him here tonight. It's not so tough.

Your father has gone to Delhi As for your aunt

You can convince her.

I can't spin tales.

All right.

L'll keep him for the night but take him away in the morning.

Ganesh will be coming at 9 AM so before that..

My family wants me to marry him.

- You're marrying Ganesh? - Yes.

- Marrying..? - Yes.

- That nincompoop..? - He's simple not sly like you.

Ganesh will be furious if he finds that you'd come here.

Don't worry, l'll be in time but..

You'd have dropped it!

- L was looking at the fish. - You deserve to be spanked!

- He's just a child. - Of course..

Such a good boy.

I told you to be good. Why are you creating trouble?

I must now leave. Can l have some water?

- Sit down. Know who the woman is? - No..

- Mother. - My mom? Yes, l'm Papa. She's Mom.

- Don't tell her. - Okay.

L'll buy you toys. Then we'll play together.

Feeling refreshed. L'll get you many toys.

Has Kamal gone? Why didn't he take him?

- He'll stay here tonight. - Here..?

I think there's a trick in this.

He came after so long and left this boy with you.

- Something is fishy. - You're so suspicious!

This is your weakness. Can't stand Kamal being criticised

What l said is for your welfare.

What did you just say?

- Who told you l'm your Mummy? - Papa. - Be quiet.

- Don't you dare! - L'll call you only mummy!

- What a nuisance! - Who is this witch?

Rascal! You called me a witch!

Don't stoop to the child's level.

You're a good boy. l'll give you a colouring book

l don't want anything l want to go to Papa!

- How stubborn! Needs a slap! - Don't beat me or l'll scream!

- Then l'll beat you some more. - Papa, Mummy is beating me!

- Be quiet.. - Papa!

- L won't beat you. - You wont..?

- Now go to sleep. - No first say you're my mummy.

All right, l am.

Now go to sleep.

Shut your eyes and you'll fall asleep.

I won't close my eyes, l know everything.

- What do you know? - You'll leave me.

- Why would l go? - You left me sleeping when l was little

- So l won't shut my eyes. - L won't go anywhere.

- Go to sleep. - You won't go?

"Slip into my baby's eyes"

"Fairy of dreams, it's a beautiful night"

"Quietly slip into baby's eyes"

"Pluck the stars and the moon from the sky"

"Adorn the world of dreams"

- Papa is home! - Finally you've come.

- Did he trouble you? - He's definitely your son.

- Else he wouldn't be so stubborn. - Well, if that's what you think..

Why are you sitting? Take him and leave.

- Did you get my motor cycle? - Shops were closed. We'll get it now

- Mummy, l'm going with Papa. - Why did you teach him this?

- What will people say? - The same that you're thinking.

You're taking him but where will you keep him?

L'll find somebody merciful.

My duties have increased since l decided to marry you.

L'll be lifting such a heavy burdenOf marriage.

- So l wanted to do business. - That's torn it.

All my friends said, you're marrying me for my father's cash.

- Really? - They poked fun at me

They said Kamal will never love you

They're jealous. l can't love those skinny girls.

Let me tell you a secret.

I had an aunt who was as healthy as you.

That's when l decided to marry a girl like her.

The others don't matter.

I can't imagine my wife as a needle to be threaded.

Anyway, no fun in talking.

- You don't like talking to me? - That's not what l meant.

I love your songs. Sing me one song.

Who..? Yes. L'll call him.

You're meeting Usha again? She's calling you.

She's in a rage. Must have heard of our marriage.

- Possibly. - L won't let you talk to her.

She too is marrying Ganesh. Must be wanting to speak..

- How did you know l'm here? - L called your house.

Enjoying yourself after getting me in trouble!

Why did you give my address? Your son created havoc there

they got fed up and left him here with me.

- What's wrong? - That's nice. Don't worry.

Rest assured. l'll do the marketing of the marriage.

Marriage..? l get it.

The fatso must be standing close.

- You're so very right. - Ls she talking about me?

About the marriage.. Yes, l'll come in the morning.

Not tomorrow, take him now. He's screaming his head off.

I couldn't go for my rehearsal.

It's impossible now but l'll come with the car tomorrow.

- What is the matter? - Nothing special.

She's getting married but l'll select the clothes, jewelry

- You can't go there. - She was requesting me..

- Let me go just once. - Only tomorrow.

Then l'll never let you go.

I know about Usha. You might waste a lot of money on her.

Lose money and ire you.

You..

- Now you may leave. - What a gentleman!

- L bring your child here - Why are you screaming?

- You won't even listen to me.. - Thanks but please leave.

- You're a strange man. - L'm saying it for your good.

If you get involved, you'll probably land up in jail.

Jail..? Hurry up, Gopal.

The auspicious moment for my bath is passing by.

- My son is back. - Don't leave me again.

No way, my son. We'll see what happens.

Why are you taking the tea back? where's the master?

- He's sleeping. - What? - There's a little boy with him.

- Little boy? - Yes.

Get up!

Wake up!

- Have some tea? - L was waiting for it.

Ambika called up. He wants to discuss the wedding plans.

Where is Kamal? He must still be in bed.

L'd gone up and saw a little boy sleeping with him.

- whose child? - He'd gone to Ambika's house. Must be theirs.

First he'd run from kids. But now

Since talk of the marriage, everything has changed

That's good. lf he learns to look after kids now..

It'll make things easier.

Stay here quietly. Don't go anywhere.

- Okay. - L'll go wash up.

This is the boy.

He's a cute child.

He's from the in-laws side. Treat him really well.

You don't have to teach me. Son, come here.

- Come here, sweetie. - Come.

What's your name?

- That's a cute name. - How is Lata related to you?

- L don't' know. - Doesn't know.

- What's your father's name? - Kamal Roy the Great.

- Who is Kamal Roy? - The man you were sleeping with..

He's my Papa.

See what your son has done!

Shameless! Scoundrel!

God knows whom he has married and when!

I always knew your son would be a blot to my name!

Where is the brat gone!

Don't yell. First call Kamal and ask him.

You lose your shirt so easily.

I shouldn't scream. Just sit and look at you!

While your son brings me shame!

Good day.

- Good day. Please come in. - Whom are you angry with?

Noreason for anger. We were just talking.

- Go and play outside. - Let him be. He's sweet.

- Whose child is he? - The neighbours.

- He came here playing.. - Come here.

What is your name?

What's your father's name? Pumpkin?

Which Kamal Roy?

I thought you were a gentleman Didn't expect this from you.

You never divulged that this would be his second marriage.

- But.. - Enough, l'll take leave.

Listen..

Happy? Your dream of shaming your father is fulfilled.

Get out of my house. I don't want to see your face!

He's not my son..

If he isn't your child, why does he call you Papa?

I'm trying to explain but you won't listen. He's a friend's son.

- Friend's son! - That's right.

He fell down a flight of stairs and lost his mind.

He doesn't recognise anyone. Addresses anyone as Papa.

L'd gone to their house yesterday He followed me, calling me Papa..

Heard your son? lf this is true bring your friend to clarify.

Sure. Last night, he said he'll come here someday.

- Not someday. Call him today. - Today..? - Yes.

All right.

Let's go home. Your father must be waiting.

- What's the matter? - L can't walk. l sprained my ankle

lt's dangerous to stay here. It's getting dark.

- Lions come here at night. - What can l do? l can't walk.

- Shall l carry you? - Yes.

- Heavy weight.. - Who the heck is that?

- He's my friend. - L'm in trouble. l need help.

- Who is this interrupting? - What's the matter?

I'm in trouble. You have to act as the father of a child.

That's my business. Come on.

- L also need a mother. - Mine died long ago.

- The child's mother, your wife.. - My wife?

- You know l'm unmarried. - Lt's a part, anyone will do..

- Where do l get one..? - There..

Stay herejust a minute.

Come with me.

He's in trouble. We must help him.

- Sure. - You must be my wife.

You have to play the role of a mother for a while.

Me a mother? Then nobody will make me a heroine.

- Not for a film. - Not on stage, my legs shake!

You have to come to my house for about half an hour..

- At home..? - lt's half an hour's job. l'll explain..

We'll be back.

A letter addressed to me from the Children's Home?

A cheque for Rs. 300..

We're returning your cheque since we didn't keep your child.

Kamal is so selfish!

He didn't come to tell me what he did with the child!

He should have let me know

Give this letter to Kamal.

Where is my son?

Sit here. l'll get father. Cover your head.

Wife..to the left.

Know your dialogues? Think before speaking.

Don't act smart. Worry about yourself. l'll say what l have to

- A mother's role isn't easy. - Neither is a father's.

Don't keep speaking all the time or they'llmy son!

This is my friend, Tomato's father and his mother.

Good day. Sit down.

Forgive us if our son troubled you a lot.

No trouble. He's just a child.

Yes, he's just a child.

- How long since this happened? - Not always.

- About 2 months.. - Yes, 2 months, 3 days.

He fell down the stairs and has an internal injury.

Heresince then we're in this state.

We have only one son and he..

Think of how we suffer when he wont' recognise us

Please call him. l want to see if he'll recognise us.

- L'll get him. - Where's my son?

- Didn't you consult a doctor? - We.. - Doctors, witch doctors..

We showed everyone but so far there's no improvement.

What do we do?

- He'll get better.. - Here he is.

My son, come to me!

- Come - Son, don't you recognise me?

I'm your mother. He doesn't recognise his own mother!

Come to me, to your Papa.

Quiet! You're not my papa. He is

Did you hear? Who could be more unfortunate?

- Dear God! - Don't cry.

Look at me..am l crying?

- What is it? - A letter

- lt's open..? - Don't lose heart. Your son will get better.

A cheque of Rs. 300 for Kamal..

- Let him stay if he wishes. - Give it to me.. - Hold on.

Let me read it.

Be quiet.

Are you this child's parents? Shameless liars! Get out of here!

- Get out! - Run!

Liars!

You kept this child in the Children's Home!

His father's name is Kamal Rai

- Have you planned your next move? - This boy isn't related to me.

- He followed me in the park. I know nothing else. - Quiet!

- Liar! - Listen to him.

- You won't let him speak. - He's blatantly lying.

I got into trouble so one lie led to another.

He's really not my son. He calls me Kamal the Great.

Who calls his father Great? Somebody taught him. He's mad.

I don't believe a word. L'll advertise in the papers.

- His family will claim him. - L'll be glad to get rid of him

lf nobody comes for him in 7 days, l'll think he's your son

And then l'll show you!

Take this.

- L'll feed you.. - You don't have to pamper him.

You come with me.

Mad

Sit here.

He calls such a sweet child mad..

He is mad! Son Tomato.. How are you related to Kamal?

- Are you sure? - Yes.

Why do you scream at Papa?

Why l get angry? Do you know who l am?

Your Papa's Papa. You must call me grandpa.

- L won't. - Why? - You're old.

- L'll call you oldie. - Don't you dare!

Don't you dare!

- Then l'll get angry. - Think l'm Papa? l'll bite you!

Bite me..? Then l too will bite you

- Oldie. - Hush.

A 4 year old boy, Tomato has been found by the riverside.

Owner please meet at this address.

Who is it?

- Tomato here. Who are you? - Don't you recognise me?

Your Mummy. What are you doing?

Playing..? Where's your Papa?

He's not at home. Why don't you come here?

Why don't you come? Ask Papa to bring you to Mummy

l'll do that but first you come here. will you come today?

What are you doing? Who are you talking to?

- To Mummy. - Mummy??

We advertised for nothing.

I knew this is Kamal's son. Tomato just called a call.

- From whom? - Kamal's wife, who else!

- What? - Yes. l asked who it was..

- Know what she answered? - What? - Nobody.

- What do you think? - About what?

About the boy. ls he really Kamal's son or..

Can't you see? His eyes are just like yours.

You're nuts. His eyes are just like yours.

- Listen to me. - Why?

Can't l see? lt's clear his eyes are like yours.

His nose and chin is mine.

You're wrong. l looked closely..

- Eyes like you, nose like mine - As if l didn't notice.

- Nose.. - l don't' want to argue. Let's eat something.

- L'm not hungry. - Why not?

He says he's not hungry. Don't force him.

He'll fall sick.

I told you not to grow close He might not be Kamal's son.

Somebody might come for him Then you'll cry all your life.

I'm saying it because kids feel hungry at intervals.

I know. Wasn't l also a child?

- Will you eat with me? - Yes!!

You won't eat now? No..?

L'll show you when you come to me.

- Grandma! - Come here..

Where does your Mummy stay?

She stays near the big road.

- How is she? - Very beautiful.

She sings and dances. Shall l show you how?

Aunt, the ad has come again.

It's come everyday for 6 days.

Meaning nobody has come for the child.

Who would come. There is nobody.

I guessed from his words that he has no mother.

- What do you think? - How would l know?

How would you know? I asked what do you think?

I don't think. You get angry at everything l say.

So l keep getting angry at you?

Forget about Kamal, what's wrong with his parents?

They know it's Kamal's son yet they want to throw him out.

They want Kamal to marry the fatso and keep his dowry.

The family is alike!

I won't be angry. Say something.

- Okay..yes. - The fault is Kamal's.

Not the boy's. ln a day or so they'll take him to the orphanage.

I feel like going to their house and giving a mouthful to the old man.

What fun!!

- Where's grandma? - Upstairs. Shall l call her? - No!

- You bought these for me? - Yes, all for you.

This horse too..

If you stay here, l'll get you a real horse tomorrow.

This is a toy car. L'll get you a real one!

Tell meif somebody comes for you..

- Will you leave me? - No. - No? Great!

How are you? The oaf said a lady has come. lt's only you.

I thought somebody came seeing the advertisement.

You want to see Kamal. He's home. Call the master.

I didn't come to see Kamal. I came regarding the ad.

Why? What's that got to do with you?

L've come to take Tomato.

To take him..l mean.. I don't understand..

I see. Nobody came for 6 days..

So Kamal cooked up a new plan and sent you here.

I know you guys well.

Don't act smart with me. I see through everything

l have nothing to do with Kamal's schemes.

L've only come to take Tomato.

Why will you take him? What right do you have?

Consider me..his mother.

Tomato's mother So you married Kamal?

- L didn't marry anyone. - What nonsense!

Have you no shame at all?

Didn't get married and..what proof that Tomato is your son?

Where had you gone? Why didn't you come all these days?

Do you need further evidence. Trust you have no objections now

No. But just as he calls you Mummy, he calls somebody papa

We just take his opinion. He hasn't come as yet..?

- Son.. - Did you call me?

Yes..Usha wants to take Tomato.

- Why? - As if you don't know

Because she's his mother.

Why should we object if the mother wants her son?

The father's opinion doesn't count. His father says Tomato stays here!

- You're being obstinate. - Lf you're his Mummy

- l'm his grandfather. - But.. - Be quiet!

Tomato calls you Papa and her Mummy and you say you're not married

- Listen to me.. - What will people say?

I won't tolerate this. The decision must be taken now

what will your relation be?

Come with me. Leave that. We'll ride a cycle.

You weren't satisfied with insulting me in your house.

- You came here to put me down. - That's not the issue.

- How did l insult you? - You did!

You know Tomato calls me Papa. Why did you tell Dad you're his mom?

You can't understand this.

If you did, another girl..

Anyway, let it go. You want to get rid of Tomato.

Advertising in papers. What's the harm if l take him?

He may not be my son. L'll rear him as your son.

My son! All of you will drive me nuts!

- How do l explain he's not my son - You can't do that.

- Why? - The man who keeps going around with loose women..

There you go again! Who is responsible for it? You!

- Me..? - You alone!

Nobody could have misled me if you were with me.

Nobody would dare..

Shut up! This nuisance took away what little peace l had!

Go away! l'm not your Papa!

- You're not my Papa..? - No!

- Get out of here! - Why are you beating him?

It's my fault. A strange child addresses me as Papa.

It's my fault that Rita's father black mailed me.

Life always laughs at me else you'd believe me.

You know as well as me l would do no wrong.

Yet you

You cared about your honour. Father cares about the family name

Who cared about me? The walls of your honour grew higher by the day.

Did you ever think of what l felt, trapped in these walls?

Don't you understand l can't live without you?

I did all this only to forget you.

But l couldn't forget. The more you drew away, the closer l came.

But you..what do you want to say?

I don't want to say anything.

I won't let you go. Father has no objections.

Do you agree..tell me..

L've troubled you a lot..

- Where are you going? Come.. - L won't!

- You're not my Papa. - But l am.

- Stop crying. - You're not my Papa. - l am..

No..stop crying.

God knows who his parents are but when he calls me Papa..

And you his mother. We do consider him our child

l found you thanks to him.

Let's go home.
