..you have to fix keysin this and give her. ms. ruby my only wish now is.. ..that this lonelyhouse comes back to life. that my daughter-in-lawcomes here, manages the home.. ..and i spend my old ageplaying with her kids. that's my desire and my only dream. mr. mathur, thismarriage cannot take place. this marriage cannot take place. what are you saying?
we had together taken this decisionfor the sake of their happiness. looks like god doesn'tagree with our decision. someone told you something about arun? then about me or my family? my daughter would've been blessedto get such a good family and.. ..a father-in-law like you. that means you'vechanged your thinking. no.- then what calamity has befallen? it is a calamity, mr. mathur.

you fixed everything with her mother. you even showed meher photographs, right? everything is fine, son, butthe circumstances have changed. circumstances? what circumstances? have i changed? or has lilly changed? or have you suddenly rememberedthe difference in our social status? or has religionsuddenly become a hurdle? daddy, tell me whatare you objecting about? i have no objection or argument.
but son, i've decided. thismarriage cannot take place. yes, arun, your father is right. even my decision is the same. what's wrong with you all?what's my fault? what's my crime that you want to.. ..destroy my worldbefore it's even created? after fixing everything, whydid you change the decision? god only takes such decisions. he only changes it.
i don't accept it!- one has to accept it, arun. where's lilly, mummy? can i meet her? lilly, i.. are you sleeping, lilly? open the door. i want to talk to yousomething very important. do you know, our parents havedecided to strangulate our love? if our love is true nobodycan stop us, lilly! nobody!

even you're not listening, lilly? if that's your decision, fine. i'm leaving, lilly. doctor, i want youto cure lilly anyhow. don't worry about the expenses. the poor girl hasn'teven begun to live yet. the girl who hasn't seen, understood.. ..or achievedanything in the world yet.. ..who hasn't yet experiencedthe joys, the colors of life..
..that poor girl has beencondemned to death by blood cancer! what justice of god is this? it is the helplessnessof humans, mr. mathur. today in every country of the world.. ..every small and big scientistis researching on this disease. this biggest enemy ofmankind has to be defeated. that day isn't far.. ..when this illness will have a cure. it certainly will.
but doctor.. ..by that time, itwill be too late for us. okay.. i shall leave now. daddy.. daddy..- son! this is life, dear. whoever comes has to go. but a true human is one.. ..who forgets his sorrowand keeps others happy.
moreover, lilly is your very own. there's only one way now. whatever days she has been left withnow, fill them with happiness, son. fill them with happiness. "after saying something, thesilence after has begun to torment." "keeping quiet remindsme of my helplessness." "you also laugh like me." "covering your tears with lashes." "or the little happiness that's left."
"may drown in tears." darling, look at her. our lilly is lookingas fresh as the lilly. yes, you are absolutely fine now. that's what i tell mom, butshe says i need to rest more. rest is best, dear. rest is best. i say that in oneweek's time, you'll be fine. remember one thing, dear. you haven't served ustea for so many days.

i want to fill my heart withevery moment spent with you. "why do these passingmoments take away life?" "they form all ties." "they break all ties." "the more the heart wants to live, the more the body keeps dying." "see the foolishness of man." "he keeps hoping." "it, show a path towards destination,if it finds one."
"the magic of color andfragrance exists since eons." "man got lost in it." "the naã¯ve one was charmed by them." "he doesn't pause to thinkwhat he has lost or gained." "in faith exists god."- arun! "don't get carried away by words."- lilly! "even a man's heartis carved like stone." "why do they take away life?" mr. mathur..
mr. mathur..- anything wrong, doctor? lilly's condition becameserious today morning.. ..so she had to be hospitalizedin tata hospital. - oh no! i see a ray of hope. dr. thompson is coming fromamerica to attend a conference. he has also agreed to examine lilly. doctor thompson, you mean dr.michael thompson. - yes. he's the biggest expert as faras cancer treatment is concerned. that means lilly will recover!- lilly!
hello. is dr. chopra there?please, call him. it's very urgent. please! yes, please. what happened, mummy? how is lilly?- lilly.. lilly.. yes. it's very urgent,please call him! please. you've come?- yes. i knew.. ..you'd surely come. i've brought flowers for you, lilly.
take it. they're so lovely.- won't you see them? they're pretty. arun..- yes.. ..is it night, or day? it's evening, lilly. it's beautiful outside. do you want to see?- yes. isn't the sight beautiful?
yes, very beautiful. where are you? arun, i cannot see you! arun, where are you?- i'm here.. right in front of you. ..a renowned doctor is comingto see you in a little while. it will be very late by then. no, lilly! you cannot leave me and go, lilly.
you're crying? don't cry. promise me.. ..that after i die.. ..you'll do no such thing.. ..that will hurt yourlilly in the other world. yes, lilly. i promise. remember.. ..you'd asked something from me?
and i.. ..despite wanting, couldn'tfulfill that desire of yours. but today, when i'm leaving.. if i ask you for thesame gift of love.. ..you'll give me, won't you? no! no! "buds of love will continue to smile." "the valleys willnarrate my stories to you." "i'll live a new lifelost in your memories."
"like fragrance on flowers stayseven after it has blown away." i haven't forgotten you.. ..and cannot forget you either. you left.. ..but always stayed onwith me as inspiration. you will continue to be with me.. ..until i live.
