Singapore

Yes, sir?

-One large whiskey, and one... -Cold drink.

-Cold drink. -Okay.

Darling, I've been waiting for a long time to give you this good news.

Good news? And, you brought me out here for that?

Well Shobha, I just want us to be here...

and no one else.

-I have a dream about us. -Enough, Ramesh.

You always dream.

Let's go dance.

-But first... -Later.

Believe me, I cannot live a moment without you.

When you're around I feel lively, happy, satisfied.

When you're not around, there's nothing.

Liar.

You don't believe me?

Men never do what they say.

Women doesn't say anything, but does everything.

I want you to say what you normally don't.

-Ramesh. -Shobha.

We couldn't complete our conversation during the dance.

How could we?

You don't care for me.

You're always lost in some thought.

I am worried.

I sent so many letters but, the boss hasn't replied yet.

Boss?

Shyam, my childhood friend.

I only call him boss, because of business relations.

Whereas actually we grew up together.

What a wonderful man he is.

That's why I respect him so much.

And in comparison of him, others don't matter for you right?

-Except for you. -You don't mean that.

Otherwise, you wouldn't always talk about leaving Singapore.

That's the good news, darling. That I am not leaving.

-Really? -Yes, Shobha.

My final decision is that Rubber estate shouldn't be sold at any cost.

Even though we're getting a good price for it.

I see... did you find a treasure?

It is a treasure.

Shyam's father's last conversation.

And the documents,

prove that...

Go on. Why did you stop?

No, Shobha. This is about business, confidential.

Can't I know it either?

No, I mean...

Women shouldn't interfere in men's business.

Because I mean nothing to you.

You mean everything, Shobha. But please don't insist.

I will definitely tell you when the time comes.

I've booked a line at 9 o'clock. I must talk to Shyam.

Boy.

Shobha dear.

-Hello, Ramesh. You're still around. -Hello.

Lata just called. She's waiting for you.

I'm going with him.

-He'll drop me home. -What's the hurry?

Come, sit with me.

Pardon me, I've booked a line to Bombay at nine.

I've to discuss something important over the phone.

Oh... I see, see you soon.

-Come soon. -Okay father.

-Goodnight. -Goodnight.

Shobha, you're here finally.

I've been waiting for you.

But, sister, I left before you called.

You're lying.

-Uncle said, you two are still there. -Fine... I left after you called.

But, at least I am home.

Were you planning to run away to Mumbai with Ramesh?

Sister, I don't have to run.

He's going to stay here.

Of course, there's no way he can leave you.

This is not a joke, sister.

He's not going to sell Rubber estate.

Why?

He didn't tell me.

But he's going to call Mumbai tonight...

and call his master Shyam here.

Ohh... so that's why you didn't realize the time.

-Sister, can I ask you something? -What?

You know Mr. Shyam, I've heard he's handsome and jolly man.

-So what? -No, no, I was just saying.

When he's here, maybe you won't realise the time either.

Get lost...

-Was there a call for me from Mumbai? -No, sir.

Hello. Overseas call.

Yes... 42236 here.

You see, I had booked a call.

Yes, Mumbai.

Okay, holding.

Hello.

Hello, Shyam. It's Ramesh.

Oh Ramesh old chap, how are you?

You're having a lot of fun out there.

You're having fun!

I've written three letters to you, its very important. But you didn't reply.

I didn't receive any letter.

You didn't? Then where did they go?

I don't know.

Strange, where could all the letters disappear?

Anyway, forget it.

-What did you write in the letters? -I can't say it over the phone.

It's a big secret.

You sound like you found a treasure at my Rubber Estate.

You're absolutely right.

I haven't found it yet, but I will.
