                  Ramesh Babu stages an exit from the side) (Doctor Narottam Das stages an
                  entry)

Dr. Das : So, I have come at the right time Meena darling ?

Meena : But today you are looking very handsome.

Dr. Das : I know the value of time very well.

Meena : Why are you standing, please sit down.

Dr. Das : How sweet you are darling ?

Meena : What to think, now you . . .

Dr. Das : I know it.

Meena : From today I am yours.

Dr. Das : Wonderful

Meena : After seven years when your friend comes back from jail, I will be with you . . .
then what will he think ?

Dr. Das : You cann't understand . . . . in this world does anyone wait for the other.

Meena : (She comes closer to Narottam Babu) Really, I am so happy to get you - take me
closer - I am very much scared.

Dr. Das : So many things had happened but did I back out ?

Meena : (Leaning on him) Look, I only want your heart . . . . without you nobody else is in
my mind. Aren't you afraid of doing so many things . . . Our hearts are one . . .
Tell me . . . Is there any objection in saying ?

Dr. Das : What to say ? All this had to happen only to get you.

Meena : I am glad to have you. I get heavenly peace when you are with me. You tell me
frankly . . . today I am feeling very proud of myself.

Dr. Das : Arrey, first I gave some money to that Cashier to keep him in good books. But I
                took all the money in my hand and come to Madan. I kept the money under the
                sofa. At that time you had been to make tea - and Madan was changing his clothes
                in the next room. He was caught in usual course, and the Cashier new is in his
                heavenly abode . . . So what. Only to get you.

Meena : You did the right thing. What will I say as to how I spent all the nights in pain ?
From today we will lead a new life.

Dr. Das : You tell me exactly . . .

Meena : Once a woman gets married she can't speak freely - what will others think ?

Dr. Das : So . . . . .

Meena : So what . . . Today you please definitely come at 10 'o' clock at night.

Dr. Das : O.K. Good night.

Meena : (After the Doctor makes an exit Meena wept in front of Madan's photo)
(Suddenly Judge Birendra makes an entry)

Birendra : So, I sent Madan to jail only for that Doctor ?

Meena : You please take me away from this place Bira Bhai . . . .

Birendra : I promise you . . . . I will definitely come today at 10 'o' clock at night.
(After Birendra makes an exit . . . Gopinath & Ramesh stage an entry)

Gopi : Now, both the tiger and lion are bearded in one cage, what other help do you require
from me?

Ramesh : We have to be very careful now.

Meena : The solace and comfort that both of you offered me during my crisis period I
simply cannot explain . . . . .

Ramesh : Keep faith in us Meena Devi, you will definitely get back your beautiful past.
Good bye.

Harihar : Bhauja ! ! What's going on ?

Meena : What to say ?

Harihar : I called him.

Harihar : Why ?

Meena : What do you want to say ?

Harihar : Yes . . . . Yes . . . . I can understand everything - Dr. Narottam Das, Judge
Birendra Mohan Singh and this Police officer Ramesh Mohanty - I can
understand everything.

Meena : (Angrily) Hari !

Harihar : After my brother has gone to jail . . . . you have changed a let - You don't want us.
Now you do whatever you want to do . . . . is there any one to check you ?

Meena : Hari, I am your sister-in-law - You know me very well as to what sort of person I
am.

Gopi : Don't be excited Hari Babu, Mrs. Mohanty is telling the right thing. The things that
are happening is only acting.

Hari : (Surprisingly) Gopi, you are not a servant of this house, So . . . . .

Gopi : So ! ! ! ! Gopinath is dead Harihar Babu. The person who is standing in front of you
is- ex C.I.D. Inspector Gobardhan Mangaraj.
