The
door is promptly answered by a young man. He asks Suraj who he is, but before
Suraj can tell him they are interrupted by an elderly woman who is also keen to
find out who is at the door. The young man says that there is an unknown
traveler dropping in (seriously!), then offers Suraj some water. Suraj is amazed
to see the older woman, and he begins walking slowly into the room towards her.
She asks the young man once again who this person is, and Suraj asks her if she
recognizes him. She says that she doesn't, so Suraj helps her out. He says he is
Suraj, Jai's younger brother. This jars a memory for her, and she is overjoyed
to see a long-lost relative coming back to see her. It turns out that this is
Suraj's aunt, and a tearful reunion is shared by all. They notice that Sapna is
still standing outside near the door, respectfully keeping her distance as the
family fusses over Suraj. With good-natured teasing they all assume that this is
Suraj's wife, and bring her inside.
Once things have settled down a little, they get around to welcoming Sapna as
she deserves - with a song! We see her being serenaded by many of the women of
the house with the song "Bunno Teri Aankhein." As they sing, we see Sapna being
taken through some of the pre-wedding rituals, including the application of
turmeric paste, getting a bath, and adorning her with ceremonial jewelry.
The song ends up with the two of them sitting in the center of the dancing,
having finalized their engagement. It looks
like things are finally settling down for our heroes.
The following day we see the happy couple being integrated into the village.
Suraj is trying to learn how to get an ox to plow a small patch of earth, but
isn't having much luck with it. The group of men that are meant to be teaching
him seem to be quite content to stand aside and laugh as he wrestles with the
plow. One of the young boys points out that Sapna is nearby, learning to balance
a large clay jug on her head. This takes us to the other fine tradition of
shooting the jug with a slingshot, drenching Sapna in the process. For whatever
reason, this upsets the women and they go chasing after Suraj and his gang. That
evening, we see Sapna getting a lesson on some interesting cooking techniques.
Life
seems to be pretty good here in the small town. Let's see if we can't screw that
up... ah here we go! The next day we see Suraj and Sapna going about their
business in the town square, then head off for home. As they pass through the
doorway, they see that Jai has come to town in the hopes of finding Suraj. Jai
stands up as they come in, but Suraj and Sapna look none too pleased that
trouble has followed them from the big city.
The rest of the family seems blissfully unaware of the tension that has
planted itself firmly in the middle of the room. Suraj doesn't budge from the
doorway, and Sapna stays right beside him. Aunt Nameless (she isn't addressed by
name in the subtitles) tells Sapna to come and show her respects, so she slowly
crosses the room to touch Jai's feet. Aunt Nameless then says that Sapna should
show off her newly acquired cooking skills as the ladies giggle.
The women all head off to another room while Jai keeps watching Suraj. Suraj
still hasn't moved into the house. Jai asks him why he's keeping his distance,
and asks Suraj for a hug. He of course follows that up with his golden nugget,
"Don't you have anything to do?" (sigh) As they sort of hug, Jai murmurs that he
needs to speak with Suraj outside for a moment.
They
walk through the streets of the town, and Suraj asks where they're going. Jai
tells him that he's taking Suraj back to the city, and he has a squad of men to
safely escort Sapna back home. Suraj tries for the sentimental approach in
dealing with Jai, and asks him if he remembers the time they were given toy guns
to play with, and Suraj broke his. Jai says he remembers, so Suraj asks him to
break his real gun now.
Jai explains that things are different now, and he can't do that. Suraj tells
him he isn't interested in keeping up with the gangs anymore, and states
defiantly that he is now living here with Sapna. Jai asks if he's seriously
going to take up a life with his enemy's sister. Suraj tells him that all of
that is between Jai and Oberoi, and has nothing to do with him. By this time,
voices are raised and they are attracting the attention of the other people in
the street. They begin gathering around and taking an interest in the
conversation. The confrontation begins to escalate. Jai becomes angry at all the
people gawking at them and asks them if they have anything to do (sigh). The
rest of the family comes out of the house and notices that things are being to
get a little ugly in the town square.
Aunt Nameless and the rest of the family come over to Jai and Suraj and tell
them to knock it off. They are creating a scene and are tarnishing the family
name by causing such a disturbance. They herd the brothers back to the house to
try and talk about this rationally.
