1920: Evil Returns

Bhola, is the news good or bad?

Ma'am, the news is good as well as bad.

Stop talking in riddles.

The good news is that Mr. Jaidev is alive.

And the bad news is that he is leading a torturous life.

The good news is that he is trying to forget you.

And the bad news is that he is not being..

..able to forget you despite drinking all day.

Perhaps the good news is also that his mind accepts..

..the fact that you are no more.

And perhaps the bad news is that his heart is not able..

..to understand his mind.

lt is so strange.

Neither have l ever seen him nor has he.

Even then, he loves me so much.

He is so bereft that..

..the person he has never seen is not in front of him.

What have l done?

You haven't done anything, ma'am.

lt's all my doing.

Don't waste any more time. Go to Mr. Jaidev.

And clear this misunderstanding he has.

Let him also see that his Smruti isn't dead but alive.

How do l go, Bhola?

The spirit that has held me here..

..will never let me go.

l have found a solution to that, ma'am.

While returning, l had been to the temple of Lord Shani(Diety).

l've brought this mirror from there.

lt is the said that this is the eye of Lord Shani.

Spirits run away from it.

Keep this with you.

And leave for Mr. Jaidev's city immediately.

That spirit will not be able to do you any harm, ma'am.

lt can't do you any harm.

Ma'am, it has gone dark.

And it's foggy as well.

We'll have trouble seeing the road.

Why don't we stay here at the guest house overnight?

Mr. Badrinath, l have to reach my destination as soon as possible.

Now we'll stop only after we reach our destination.

Okay. As you wish.

This...What was that noise?

Did you hear? - Yes, l heard.

Seems like someone's in trouble. And needs help.

l'll go check.

Mr. Badrinath.

l'll not let the two of you unite.

Brother.

You had been drinking all night again?

What is wrong with you, brother?

What's the matter?

Karuna, it's 25th October today.

l was supposed to meet her today.

l know. But it's been two years to that, brother.

lt's been two years since Smruti's death.

Why are you hell bent on ruining your entire life..

..for the girl you never saw?

Forget the past.

No, Karuna.

Everything is kind of stuck in time.

What do you think?

Why does God gives us the challenge to live..

..despite taking everything away from us?

Why?

What has He taken away from you, brother?

You have everything.

You are Jaidev Verma.

You are this country's most talented and famous poet.

What more do you want?

A reason to be alive.

l have everything to breathe.

To spend my life.

But l have nothing to live my life with.

Remember, brother?

There was a time when l was dejected and hopeless.

What you had said to me?

No matter what.

There is always some reason somewhere to live life.

Because if that isn't the case,

then He sends for us.

lsn't it?

You had explained to me. And now you...

Forget it.

l will ask the aunt to make fresh breakfast for you. Okay?

l don't feel like staying at home today.

l want to go out and write.

Alone.

Some questions. Some answers.

l can't fill up the loneliness in my life.

But l can at least fill the papers with words.

"You say You are life. But why can't l find You within me?"

"Why do You set us on journeys which have no destinations?"

"Tell me. What kind of God are you?"

"Since your promises are meaningless."

"There must be some reason somewhere why You are also powerless."

"The more l look for You, l can't find You."

"You don't change this trait of yours."

"Tell me. Why do you have your way in this fashion?"

"Why do You give us so much pain?"

"You don't let us live in love. And nor do You let us die."

"You say You are a companion."

"Then why don't you stand by me."

"Are you upset or are you unfaithful?"

"You don't listen to me."

"There must be some reason somewhere why You are also powerless."

Oh my God! Listen.

Are you okay? Listen. Open your eyes.

Listen.

Whom have you brought? Who is she?

She was lying unconscious at the river bank.

Thank God l spotted her.

But brother, who is she? Where has she come from?

And what is her identity?

We can know the answer to all the questions later, Karuna.

We need to take care of her first.

Aunt, please come. - But...

Aunt, take this. - Yes. Take this, dear.

Her clothes are wet and dirty, dear.

l'll give it to Gaffoor. How is she now?

There is no improvement. l am applying the sandalwood paste.

Okay. Go.

Brother, don't you think we should inform the police about her?

l mean who is she? Where has she come from?

All this...

We'll be able to tell anyone only when we know, Karuna.

Thank you, aunt.

What are we going to tell the officer now?

We don't even know who she is.

Who happened to her? Where is she from?

Karuna, l guess l kind of know her.

How? Why? l can't say.

But when l went close to her, l felt so.

And l hadn't seen even her face till then.

But l felt she wasn't a stranger.

And l can guarantee that..

..this feeling is not a figment of my imagination.

Are...you my husband?

What is your name?

l don't know.

Has anyone tried to attack you?

l don't know.

Are you trying to escape from someone or were you trying to?

l don't know.

ls there any danger in your life?

Or do you feel threatened by someone?

l don't know. l can't recollect anything.

l don't remember anything.

You must you remember something.

Try. Try to recollect, ma'am.

Anything. Anything that can help us.

The doctor said that she'll be better within 24 hours.

And that is what has happened.

l saw for myself.

She is fine. And she can also travel.

Why don't you send her away now?

She has lost her memory. That's her problem.

And who knows. She might be remembering everything.

And she is just putting on an act of losing her memory.

Who knows? She might have murdered or looted someone.

So she must be pretending to lose her memory..

..in order to evade the police.

For once come out of the world of words and face reality.

And try to understand, brother.

"You were lonely. So was l. We started crying together."

"Our sorrows were similar. We started healing each other."

"You make me smile. You make me hum."

"You are now an inseparable part of me."

"l am consumed by your thoughts."

"You are now an inseparable part of me."

"l am little full. l am a little empty."

"You are a mess. So l am."

"You are a little naive. l am a little simple."

"We are inseparable."

"There is not enough ground or sky."

"Every world seems incomplete without you."

"Now you are the only one who fills every void."

"You are now an inseparable part of me."

"You were lonely. So was l. We started crying together."

"Our sorrows were similar. We started healing each other."

"l see through your eyes."

"You are now an inseparable part of me."

"You turn my nights into day."

"You are now an inseparable part of me."

This song is mine. And so are the lyrics.

And who made this tune?

Who composed it?

Where did you hear this?

l don't know.

l just started signing this song.

lf there are no obstacles in the path.

l wouldn't want the destination to arrive.

l forget her in an instant.

The condition being that my feelings don't take over.

Who are you? Who the hell are you?

How do you know my poems?

l too can't understand as to why l can't remember anything.

My memories seem to be lost in time.

l am no more than a question now.

l don't know who l am.
