- Ratna: Sir, you must be aware that four months after my wedding, my husband passed away.
- Ashwin: Sorry... no... I didn't know.
- Ratna: He was sick. He didn't tell anyone. Parents are always in such a hurry to get us married. It's the same in the village. I wanted to study, but the groom's family were willing to take me without any dowry, so my father didn't ask any questions. I became a widow at the age of 19. Do you know what that means in the village ?
- Ashwin: What ?
- Ratna: Your life is over. But today I'm earning my own money. I am a servant, but i can educate Choti.
- Ashwin: Choti is your sister ?
- Ratna: Yes Sir. Life doesn't end, Sir. That's all i wanted to say.
