Samud FF - Umrao Jaan - Page 10

Kumari: Even Umrao loves Saras but we are not supposed to love anyone in this profession

Sunny: I need your help.

Kumari: What help do you want?

Sunny: I want to help Saras to reach his destination.

Kumari: I can't do anything in this matter.

Sunny: Dou you love Umrao?

Kumari: Yes, I love her.

Sunny: At least for that sake, please help me.

Kumari: I may not be able to do that openly. But I can do that without anyone's knowledge. But what will I get from you?

Sunny: What do you want?

Kumari: Your friendship.

Sunny: Even I wanted to ask you about it.

Kumari: What is the problem to accommodate your friend?

Sunny: My girlfriend Jhanvi does not like it. I can't leave her for that.

Kumar: Talk to her once and let me know about it.

Sunny: Sure

Umrao(Kumud): Saras, let's go to my room.

Saras: I am definitely homeless but I am not helpless.

Saras & Kumud go to the room.

Kumud caresses Saras but he moves off & said, "Are you trying to make me sleep? Are you finding me in this state for the first time? I have been in that state, from the time I had been on that ghazal on which you have danced, idhar jo Dekho salaam Karle. Ghulam Karle.

Kumud: What are you talking? You are my master & the king.

Saras: Yes, now the king s homeless, jobless, & pennyless. You didn't get anybody to make fun of?

Kumud: For God's sake please don't talk like that.

Saras: Why? Are you not able to believe that I am homeless? Ask my father Laxminandan Vyas. When I was 4 months baby, I had pissed on his lap & he threw me on the floor so what new thing did he do throwing me out of his life now? But one thing I want to ask you that you not throw me out of your life?

Kumud: What are you talking? You are my life. You are everything to me.

Saras: You are more than my life but if you become disloyal, I will cut you out of my life & throw you away.

Kumud: Fine, cut & throw me out. What are you talking? Everything will be fine. Your dad will definitely hug you.

Saras: I am talking about our love & you have brought my dad in between. Are you showing sympathy on me?

Kumud: What are you talking? When I need sympathy how can I show sympathy for others?

Saras: I can see that sympathy in your eyes. I am your servant & being a servant my place is not there in your cot.

He gets up & goes on to the floor.

Kumud: What is this childishness? Come to the cot.

Saras: I am a servant but Umrao Jaan's (Kumud) servant.

Kumud: Even I am your servant & will be with you on the floor.

Saras: Fine, we will sleep here.

Saras sleeps on Kumud's lap & Kumud puts her head on his shoulders.

The next day, saree & jewelry dealers come to Khanum's place. All are busy in selecting the items. Kabir comes down

Khanum: Tell Saras I remembered him

Kabir goes.

Khanum sees all the lehengas & said, "I don't want.

Saras & Kumud come down.

Khanum: Come Saras, sit next to me.

Saras sits.

Khanum: I got the news that you came here and were unwell. How are you now and what happened?

Saras: I'm fine now. Nothing much had happened.

Khanum: May God keep you fine always. I heard that you had a tiff with your dad. These things keep happening & you should not take it to your heart but one thing is that he has got all the wealth & can give it whenever he wishes & stop his hand as per his whims.

Umrao tries to intervene.

Khanum: Don't talk in between. I am telling him how the world works.

Khanum continues. She said It is only from people like you, a courtesan gets life else she is nothing. But if you go after love, what will you get? A courtesan has got only one relationship & that is money.

Saras: Yes, you are right.

Kumud: But he...

Khanum: Again, you talked in between.

She continues.

Khanum: The cost of this lehenga is Rs. 5000/- Where will I get money?

Danny & Sunny come down.

Danny: I pay for all of us for spending one night here.

Pramad comes. He said, "I am paying for this lehenga.

Khanum welcomes Pramad. She said, "I have to beg for every penny before these big shot people.

Saras: I am not ashamed to say that I don't have anything.

Khanum: It is a shameful thing for me to beg.

Danny: I have paid for all 3 of us. Please keep quite now.

Kumud goes to the room & gets the necklace. She said, "If you want more then, Saras has left the necklace here.

Khanum is speechless.

Saras: She is lying. I didn't give it to her.

Khanum: No problem, your friend has helped this time & you have been our regular customer. You can come whenever you wish & stay here. If anyone says that a big shot nawab is living of a courtesan, I will break their teeth.

Pramad: Sorry for interrupting but things are not in your control now.

He offers more money and said, "This is for all your other commitments.

Saras: I am taking a leave now. But before that, I want to tell one thing that by measuring money with love you have not insulted me but you are insulted humanity.

Khanum: You are not used to listening to the truth.

Saras: The truth is that am Nawab Saras & you are only the madam of this kotha.

Danny: Yes, Saras is right. Let's go.

Sunny, Danny, & Saras leave. Kumud comes behind Saras and said, "Even I am coming with you.

Saras: I cannot take you with me. You have to be here & wait for me.

Kumud: I cannot stay in the place where you are humiliated.

Saras: So, are you going to add to my problems? I can fight with the world but I cannot erase what is written in fate. You are my fate & you are destined to wait for me.

Saras kisses Kumud's hand.

Danny & Kusum decide to elope away & settle their lives.

Sunny goes to Jhanvi to talk to her.
