ANITA
Maa, aaj phir kya naya experiment hai?
KAMALA
Aaj bas ek gaana sunna hai mujhe.
Tum dono ke saath.
ANITA
Maa.
Main teacher hoon. Emotion class mein chalta hai,
ghar mein nahi.
KAMALA
Nahi. Tum log incomplete ho gaye ho.
KAMALA (soft)
Kyuki phir tum bhi toot jaati.
Aur main ek maa aur tootne nahi de sakti thi.
KAMALA
Yeh gaana main ne tumhare liye nahi likha tha, Anita.
KAMALA
Maine ek beti ke liye likha tha.
Jise mujhe rakhne nahi diya gaya.
ANITA
Aapne mujhe kabhi bataya kyun nahi?
KAMALA
Tum meri doosri koshish thi.
NAINA
Toh yeh gaana family secret nahi, family memory hai.
