That day I was talking with Rabi. : Rabi, are you listening? : Mm-hmm, tell me. : My heart feels so heavy today... : I know. : How can you tell? : You haven't written anything for your beloved today, have you? : Will you write for me? Please, Rabi! Today, just a little... could you hide away your Bankim-self and awaken that intensely passionate cluster of tender hurt so dear to Sharat-babu, for him, Rabi? For my beloved? : For you I can do anything! : Then go! But knowing your sheer dismissive nature, please don't take the chance to make what you've given me into my exclusive right or habit, I beg of you! : Is that so? You're telling me to leave? Can you bear to let me go? Can you truly take back from me the right to seize opportunity? : There you go again, awakening your Bankim and standing me squarely in Kamalakanta's office? Go... I won't let you leave after all! What will you do then, let me hear! : Make the most perfect use of opportunity! What else! : Very well, no! But this isn't going well, Rabi! : All right, fine... tell me! : Where is it? You said you'd write for my beloved... you haven't written anything, have you? : I've written it all down... look! Now you just arrange it in your own way! : How do you manage it, tell me? : It's because you need to understand me that I had to be created in Rabindranath's body! : No, no... you are my Rabi! Everyone else's Rabindranath! Do you understand now? : Ha ha ha... silly thing, what else! : Yes, your silly one! : That I know! : Listen... : Yes, tell me... : I love you so much! : Don't I love you just as much!
