Prof.Atharva Vashisht was a man of love.He taught Shakespearen love stories in his college.While narrating love stories to his students as back ground music he played either guitar or violin .It created a melodious romantic atmosphere in college.
He encouraged his students to fall in love.He was close to his students who were in love.
Atharva saw his student Somendra with his luggage.
A:Somendra,why are you carrying your luggage?
Somendra:I am leaving the college Sir.
Atharva was shocked.
ARJUN:Not only Somendra,I'm also leaving Sir.
Dev:Me too.
Atharva was again shocked.
A:Then what about Indira,Maya and Sonakshi?Tell guys.How can you all leave your beloved and go?Was your love that silly?
Their eyes were full of tears.
A:Somendra,I thought you could go against all the conventions of the society for your love.But now why did you decide to forget Indira?Because she is a widow?
Somendra closed his eyes and wept.
A:Arjun...since you were fun loving,outgoing and mingling with girls everybody considered you as just a flirt.But I had a belief that you were not flirting with Maya.but you really love her.But now I doubt if you were just flirting with Maya for fun.
Arjun closed his hand in a fist due to frustration.
A:Dev...I thought you were very sincere in your love.But you too?
Dev's tears rolled down his cheeks.But he was numb.
Flash back...
Somendra always met Indira in the near by temple.He was pleased by her helping nature.He saw how she helped the beggars who found solace in the temple.He noticed how she helped the old people who were alone there as they were deserted by their own children...how she laughed with them making them happy with her jokes wiping off their pain.
He looked innocent and cute in her white salwar kameez.He wondered why she was always seen in white.
He thought:Why is she not wearing colourful clothes?She will look so pretty in colourful clothes.But in white she looks beautiful like an Angel.
He made friends with Indira.Slowly he realized his love for her.Once he opened his heart before her.
Somendra:Indira...I think I'm in love with you.
Indira was shocked.Her eyes got welled up with tears.
INDIRA:You don't know anything about me.Then how can you fall in love with me?
Somendra:Love doesn't happen knowing everything about that person.My love for you is also like that.
INDIRA:Don't love me blindly Somendra.Do you know?I am a widow.
Somendra was shocked.
He thought:So that's why she is always wearing white clothes.Guess she belongs to an orthodox family and that's why she is wearing inly white clothes.Now a days which widow wears white continously?
Indira:On my wedding night itself when were travelling to our sasural we met with an accident and he died on the spot.I don't know why God left me alive.Now tell me..can you love me like before?
Her eyes were full of tears.He was silent.
Indira said in her mind:I know why you are silent.After knowing that I am a widow it's not easy for you to love me.Who will love a widow like me?
She tried to walk off.But Somendra held her hand.She looked at him.
Somendra:Why are you going away without hearing my answer for your question?
Indira did not know what to say.
Somendra:You asked me whether I can love you like before after knowing your truth.Right?Don't you want to know my answer?
She looked at him with tension.
Som:Then listen to my answer.My answer is ...
Indira's heart beat fast due to restlessness.
Somendra:Yes,still I love you.
Indira could'nt believe it.
Somendra:You don't know why God left you alive?God made you alive for me.You are mine Indira.
She became very emotional.
They shared an emotional eye lock.
Somendra:I know you also love me.I can see that in your eyes.
She ran away crying.
Somendra went to Indira's husband's house and met her husband's grand mother Parvati.
Parvati:Who are you?And why are you here?
Somendra:I am Somendra Dushyant Singh.I love your daughter in law Indira.I would like to
marry Indira.
Parvati was shocked.She stared at Indira.Indira was sweating due to nervousness.
Par:Indira...do you also love Somendra?
She kept silent.
Par:I got my answer.
Suddenly Parvati slapped Indira.
Somendra was shocked.
Par:Are you not ashamed to fall in love being a widow?I am ashamed to say that you are my daughter in law.Never expected you to stoop so low.
Indira was crying.
Somendra could'nt bear her tears.
Som:Dadi...what are you saying?
Par:Don't interfere in our family matters.You are only an outsider.
Somendra felt bad.
Par:In our family widows do not remarry.If you come back again remember..Indira will suffer like hell.Indira will get the punishment you deserve from me.So get out.
Somendra was shattered.He looked at Indira.She ran to her room crying. He left from there tearfully.
Present...
Somendra cried:I don't want Indira to suffer because of me.Because I love her that much.So I have to leave.
Atharv felt sad for him.
