Original subtitles

Papa, can you hear me?

... but what is life without an impossible dream!

Joseph, you look very happy today

Your daughter is coming?

Son-in-law too!

lt's good. Very good

SILENCE an album by...

Annie and Raj

Forget it, man

Just let it go

Annie...car...an accident!

Can't say anything for 24 hours

But there is hope if she comes to in the meantime

She will be kept under observation

Sister, have one more Nexamethazone injection ready

Today while death is so close...

l can see through my whole life

An absolute and rich life...

which we all lived

Always lived together...

through thick and thin

Joseph! Joseph!

God has blessed you with a baby girl!

And there begins...

An incredible dream...

lf my papa could call me by my name once

l saw this dream the day l was born

But life is meaningless...

without an incredible dream

Joseph!

Yes, my son! She can hear

She can hear!

There is rhythm in her voice!

This house has got voice after so many years

After many years!

My sweet child!

My birth brought new beginning of voice in my parent's life

ln their silent life...

even the sound of my cries was a source of joy for them

Mariam used to say that...

At the time of my birth l cried in rhythm of shells

So l was christened Annie

Annie Joseph Bergenza

Our house was full of silence as well as sounds

Mariam introduced me the rhythm hidden in it

Noise of waves

No...the rhythm

Since childhood my life had divided in two different worlds

On one side there was the silence of my parent's life...

And on the other side there was Mariam's music

Did you sell the soap?

Don't worry. We stole two fish

For eating

Me and Annie

Stealing? This is not stealing

Everybody does it in childhood It's just a play

This is not stealing Fishermen also steal it from the river

ls it wrong? Then what is right?

ls it right if children sleep hungry?

No! Papa! Please!

What are you doing?

Listen to me!

No, Papa! No!

You couldn't sell soap so you're taking it out on children

Damn the people

Do people feed your hungry children?

You have not been disgraced

One day your daughter will become your voice

Remember this!

l am the wife of a freedom fighter

What did we get after independence? Only this house

But they didn't realise we needed food also

Your father didn't give his life for the sake of truth

He gave up his life because he couldn't face the truth

What's the truth?

The truth is that he died because of you

You are deaf and dumb He couldn't stand the truth

So he died there

Did you hear me?

Did you!

We are from Super clean factory It's new product of our factory

Three rupees for one piece Two pieces for five

lt's gentle to your hands too

We are from Super clean factory

This is a new product of our factory

You...

We are from Super clean factory It's a new product

Please give us one more chance Two for three rupees, one for five

Wrong! One for 3, 2 for five

Correct?

We are from Super clean factory

This soap will be kind to your hands too along with your clothes

Please give one more chance

lf you use it once, you'll want to buy it again and again

One for three, two for five

Only three packets!

You sold only three packets in ten days?

Enough! No more business with you

You are fired

We do work hard but people don't understand

Give us one more chance

You are not worth a second chance

You've always been fired from every employment

The only alternative left for you is begging

Hey, girlie! Tell him

l pitied you because you were deaf

You take this little girl with you on work

You don't understand what she says

Neither can you explain anything to people, and you want another chance!

He has got no choice but begging

Take this money as alms and get out of here

l don't want to see your faces again

Help me!

Papa, please don't do it!

l took sympathy for this mute and now he is beating me!

The deaf is beating me!

Let him go, guys He can do nothing to me!

l took pity on this bloody deaf!

No, Papa, please don't

Someone please help me, he's going to kill me

Suddenly l felt grown up to see my father's helplessness

l began to understand why l couldn't steal fish even for a game

We are different

People don't understand us

No! Mom, No!

Please, No!

Mama, please don't kill it! Please!

Eventually the music vanished from our life...

and silence was everywhere

Papa was jobless and we parted away from our dear things

Come on!

Be careful

This side please

Please keep it straight

Watch it, man! It's very delicate

l watched my piano being taken away

l was parting from a dear friend

l felt as if it was urging me to stop it It wanted to be with me

Don't cry, my child

What parts away comes back sooner or later

Remember this

Listen! Music is alive as long as our heart goes on ticking

Now everybody will sing...

...with our piano, right?

Mariam passed away

but her memories were always with me

l can still hear her songs

Her song's became my strength

lt was my guiding light throughout my life

lt guided me in difficult times

Thank you

Thank you, Mother Mariam

Come on, children

Willy became our friend

Because of him there was piano in our life once again

Happiness was returning in our life

You see, this is how it is played

Papa was working in a toy factory,

where even an ordinary pipe seemed a bugle to us children

You scared me!

Now this box will sing

l don't believe this box can sing

By God it can!

You are joking, right?

You don't believe too? No!

Why?

Mummy says never listen to people who can hear and speak

Ain't l your friend, Willy? l never tell lies

Just a minute. Put it here like this

And here it goes

Really! It is indeed singing

What if we fix it in our parent's throats?

Will they be able to speak?

No. It cannot be fixed in any body's throat

lt can sing other's voices

One day it will sing our Annie's songs

Remember this! It is going to happen one day

Sam! Sam!

Mom is calling for prayer

l won't come. You go!

Come down!

Sam!

Sam!

Mom! Papa!

Mummy, Papa

Papa, papa

Sam, Sam!

Come on, hurry up

That day...

l heard papa's silent cries for the first time in my life

l never forgot those cries

The cries of helplessness

And anger towards God

There was sadness in our house after this incident

l was lonely

Mummy and Papa kicked God out of their life

They had only one hope,

Only one truth

And that was me!

They lost faith in God

But l was sure God would come back in our house

PLEASE SING NO SAD SONG FOR ME

Thank you

Thank you

Uh, no! Please stay still

lf you leave, my music will be incomplete

Thank you. Just for a few minutes

lt's over

Would you like to hear my music?

Just think

A beautiful girl went in a light house...

with this tune on her lips

Her voice was full of magic

People used to come to hear her voice from far off places

And her voice became popular in the whole world

The flute comes at this note

Flowers would blossom at her voice

Even the impossible would become possible

lt would seem like all the seasons had joined hands

And her voice reached such heights...

that no one could ever imagine

The whole world sang with her

When she would sing, everything else would stop

lt would take people's sorrows away

The whole world was mesmerised

And then suddenly...she stopped singing

Why? No one knows

There was no answer to people's questions

Something will be always be amiss in my life till l get back that voice

So tell me, what do you think about this tune?

Like it?

Thank you

Hang on...thank you

See! Mariam also wants you to stay here

Weather is so pleasant

l can do anything in such weather

For example, l can guess your name

Auntie Sophia... No?

Khatima... No?

Usha Dai... No?

Then? Annie

Annie!

Annie...You look very beautiful when you laugh

You look very ugly

Thank you very much, Mother Mariam

A nice tune indeed Where did you hear it?

lt's the voice of my heart

l've composed it for a very pretty girl

Oh, l see!

Willy? Yes

You can sell this piano now

No, my son

l will not sell this piano

Tell me some thing

lf this piano were very dear to you, a memento of somebody's love...

Would you have sold it?

God bless you

There you are!

You always leave your shop unattended

Accounts are ready There were so many mistakes

Mistakes can be corrected

You go now. l will come soon

Don't take too long

Yeah, yeah, l am coming

What's this, Willy Uncle You've even left the piano open!

You know what...

Your voice is more beautiful than you

You must be wondering as to why l'm here

l came to buy this piano

But now l know, this piano is very dear to somebody

Now you must be thinking about the goings-on of my mind

l'm thinking that how will l be able to go away...

after being so close to you

Today l am very happy

Because l have heard your voice

l have found the voice l have been looking for

You still have this with you?

Uncle Willy has still been keeping this safely

You remember Sam and l used to hear it? And how we used to dance!

Papa, shall we dance?

Please, Papa. Just once

Yeah!

One, two, three and...turn

Mummy, do join us

Mummy

Mummy! Stop

Mummy's sewing machine is making too much noise

Papa! Just a minute

Mummy! Mummy

Please stop it for a while, the music...

Mama, look at me

Can't you stop it for a while?

But why?

Why can't you stop it?

ls it very urgent?

What difference would it make if you were to stop this for a while?

Mummy!

But why? Why do you hate music so?

Why doesn't Mama listen...

Father, l have a confession to make

Speak, my child

For the first time in my life, l yelled at my parents

l love them too much

l didn't even think once what would happen to them

They have nobody except me

And l know this very well

lf you feel sorry, God will definitely forgive you

Father, l'm very afraid

l feel that there is a whole new world out there beckoning me,

lf l step into it, l will be away from my parents

That world is full of happiness

But l don't want such happiness which l can't share with my parents

Whenever l hear the sound of waves...

l hear music, l hear a song...

Whispering of leaves

l feel like l am committing a sin

Annie, l cannot understand your sin

Music is a God given gift It's not a sin

Whatever you want to confess, say it frankly

Father, these days l am being attracted towards somebody

So, this is the problem!

Who is this boy? Is he from our village?

No, he is an outsider

What is his name?

l don't know

You don't know even his name and you're getting so upset!

Father, actually l...

Just a moment

Father, l have to speak to you

Wait for some time a confession is in progress

There seem to be more sinners than priests, l guess

Am l right? Right

Good. So, some sinners must wait. Right?

Right again. Me a sinner!

Sorry, my child

Ok, tell me where did you meet this guy

ln the cemetery

Cemetery?!

lf it would have been a funeral then l must have been present there

No. l just went there...

Without any reason, to the graveyard? And then?

Then he met me in Willy's shop

l just happen to meet him so suddenly every time. Just like that!

lt seems as if he is present here too, somewhere

Just a minute

Sorry for the disturbance

Can't you wait even for a while?

Have you heard about something called patience?

No

No? Anyway, tell me what do you have to say

l have to confess something

l know. You didn't obviously come here for a cup of tea!

No?

You are here to confess a sin No

No?

l came to confess my love

Father, how can meeting a lovely girl be termed as a Sin?

And that too, in the graveyard

ln the graveyard?

According to me it would have been by the grace of God

She happens to meet me suddenly Everywhere

All of a sudden, anywhere!

Yes, when l lift up my eyes, l find her there

On the way when l turn back, l find her in front of me

When l see her l wish her scarf to fly away

lt does fly

Right. l go in a shop and find her playing my tune on the piano

ln Willy's shop

Right, Father

lt's truly a miracle

Of course, It is

When did you meet her?

Three days ago

Since then l have been very excited

l know nothing about him

Except that he composes music

l know nothing about her

Except her name

Annie

What! Do you know her?

Oh Father, you are not father, you are a grandfather!

l must touch your feet Go back in the confession stand

Sorry, l got a little excited

Love doesn't mean that you've to be desperate

lt's not meant for only enjoyment, it's not a sin either

lt is an enduring sorrow, and patience

Can you do it for our Annie

Father, l love Annie immensely

l can do anything for her

Good. She is here

This thing did cross my mind

Go and express your love

l am mad at you

Why didn't you tell me...

that you had been promoted?

Even then...at least you should have told me and Mummy

Sun?

lt gives light to whole universe

And yet speaks nothing

Papa, l am very happy

l am proud of you

How do you feel?

Papa, we ought to celebrate

We will indeed

We will buy a car later, first of all l want a red dress with frills

Papa, listen to me

l need a new dress

l want to look beautiful in the coming carnival. Papa, please

You've always worn clothes sewn by mom

But l won't let it happen to me Mom will listen to me

First l will talk about promotion

Mom will be very happy

Then, l will tell her about the new dress

lt's a bet

lf l lose, you give me nine punches

Alright, but if l win l will give you nine

Today, l scolded Papa He didn't tell us about his promotion

We will celebrate

Papa promised me a new dress...

Mom has already had it ready

So pretty!

Shall we go up?

What is it? l am scared

Hold my hand, then you won't Shall we go?

Now what?

Do you trust me?

Then close your eyes

Come on, now

You trust me so much

And you don't even know my name!

l know Really, what is it?

Raj

ln my childhood, Mariam used to speak about this prince

He would come in a plane and take me somewhere

ln the world of magic

ln the world of music

Where there will be no darkness

Only happiness and joy

Did you say something?

No. Nothing at all

Do you know why did l bring you here?

Don't you know why l brought you here?

Nobody can see us here, no one can hear us

No one can hear, no one can see

Come closer

Come close to me, Annie

And say

Say what?

l've brought you here so that...

so that you can say, ''l love you''

You were scared, right?

Please say it

Say it

Oh, come on

Say it

Say that you love me

Okay, Say, ''l''...

l. . .

''Love''...

Okay say, ''l hate you''

l hate you

Again

l hate you

Again

l hate you

Again

l hate you

Again

l love you

Again

l Love you

All right

l hate you too

Freedom

Flight

Eventually Papa bought one second hand car

The whole world became a steering wheel for him

Which he could control as he liked

Papa was as excited as a child

Your dream has come true

To own a car

Today my dream will come true

Annie will sing. Yes, she will sing

Papa, he wants me to sing

l don't know, l haven't decided yet

Hey, listen! Let me explain

Raj heard Annie's voice He liked it very much

Raj wants to record Annie's voice

l will explain you everything later

Let's go

l told you not to buy this junk

Now l have to push it to start

Didn't you tell them about Raj?

l did not get a chance

Chance...you ain't going to get one without going for it

Raj is an outsider

He doesn't even know l live in a different world

l don't know whether my parents will approve of him

lt's not about Raj...

They won't let any boy come in your life

They have to live their life on their own without you

You have to explain it to them

l cannot do that

What?

Are you going to look after them your entire life?

Can you live without Raj?

My normal life was slipping away...

And Raj was attracting me in his own world

l lived in anticipated fear,

whether these two different worlds could become one!

Annie, welcome to the world of music

l always wanted to bring you here

To this recording studio

This is not only a recording studio...

This is our church

This is our world, our earth, our sky

Can you feel the silence?

This silence is full of music

The history of music

l get overwhelmed whenever l come here

Since childhood l always wanted just one thing

Music

Only music

Listen carefully

You feel as if you hear old songs here

The voices of great artistes

What do you hear?

l hear Mariam's voice

l hear her songs

The buoyant laughter of Sam

That childhood rain

Those dreams

Your dreams will come true

We will work hard towards them

And then one day...

You will be standing in front of the microphone

And...

Drums over here. Saxophones over there

Flutes, violins, trumpets,

guitars

Annie, you will be surrounded by music

And everything will be silent

And your voice accompanied by a perfect rhythm,

will reach Mariam

And the whole world will sing with you

Mama!

Papa?

Can't you hear?

Look over there. Mom needs help

l am sorry, Papa

l shouldn't have shouted at you

For a moment l forgot that you couldn't hear

l am sorry

Nothing will happen. l am with you

l will never leave you alone now

Never

After mom's heart attack, l realised...

l had to be there for my parents

Every time, every moment

l decided to break up with Raj

But there remained many unsung songs,

Many things which we wanted to share, but couldn't!

Annie?

Annie

Don't take that bus, l am coming

After all, what is the matter?

Annie, l love you...

and you love me too

Then what's wrong with you?

l waited for you at the rehearsal hall but you didn't turn up

You saw me on the road and just ignored me

Why all this?

Why don't you speak?

You have to answer

l can't live without you

Neither can you without me

Then what is it that is creating the distance between us?

Why don't you say something, Annie?

Did the cat get your tongue?

Are you a mute?

Yes, l am indeed dumb

lt's just between both of us

Annie! Annie?

Where are you taking me?

Annie, what are you doing? They will wake up

They won't

Shout! Cry! No one will hear you

My parents are mute

Had l not reached in time...

anything could have happened to mom

l can't sing, Raj

l cannot sing!

Sorry, Annie

Annie, l am not taking you away from them

Actually l want to give them their son back

And you will sing for them, not for me

Because you are their voice

They cannot hear you

But would at least be able to feel it

Even if you were like them...

l would have loved you

Yes. Do you know why?

Because l love you

l love you

Eh what! Just now you were asking me to shout

We waited till Mama was better

Raj always used to dispel any fears that l had

l now wanted to sing,

without any fear

l wished to experience life with Raj

without any burden on my heart

Happy birthday, Papa

Sorry, l got late at the rehearsal

Your favourite flower

This isn't your favourite flower?

Yes, your favourite is...

lt's Mama

My favourite?

Not you?

Music?

No, Papa, you both are dear to me, not the music

Today l was late because it was the last day of rehearsal

l rehearsed with a full orchestra

There is a recording tomorrow l'm very nervous

You will have to accompany me

What is so funny?

People?

They will laugh at you

Why?

Because you cannot hear,

And are going for your daughter's programme

Over there nobody knows you

Papa, l don't feel at all ashamed of you

No, nothing doing

You will have to come with me

Tomorrow is a very big day for me

l will not sing if you won't come

No!

You hate music, right?

So, you won't come

Happy birthday to you

Happy birthday to you

You always say that my shop is crowded

This is just one, but l've enough space for ten christmas trees

Jingle bells, Jingle bells, jingle all the way

Willy?

Where's the piano?

l sold it. l sold it, my child

Somebody offered a good price l couldn't refuse

For the first time in my life l made so much profit

lt looks so beautiful in the piano's place

We will decorate it. This is the happiest christmas of my life

Merry Christmas, Willy

Mariam was right

Whatever parts away, comes back sooner or later

My piano also came back

Thank you, Papa

Uncle Willy, You lied to me You fooled me

l didn't lie. Look Joseph! Hold her

Hold her please

Just let me get my hands...

Merry Christmas

Just a minute

This is the biggest Christmas of my life

Thank you

Papa, he came to say that the people liked our song very much

He could wait till tomorrow

But he wanted to share with us this happiness today

You hate him

But l love him very much

Too much

Raj, you don't understand

Papa is very angry

He won't listen to anything

Last night he was mad at me

He doesn't want me to have anything to do with you again

He says you can't come to our house

And neither can l sing hereafter

Annie, your hands are so pretty

Your hands are very ugly

Very funny!

You shouldn't have come home at that hour

That's why Papa is annoyed He IS right

Hey, don't you go changing yourself

Yesterday you were singing something like... l'm very happy...

Okay, tomorrow l'll talk to your dad about our marriage

l don't think marriage would be possible

Why ever not? It's very simple

l will show you

Raj is standing here wearing a black suit, looking handsome

Come, fatty

Annie is here, standing near him in a white dress, looking just okay

The priest says,

Raj, do you accept Annie to be your wife?

l do

Annie, do you accept Raj as your husband?

Try to understand

Do you?

lt's not that simple... Do you?

Do you?

l do

And now you may kiss the bride for... one hour

lt's not that easy as you make it sound

Annie, l say stop otherwise...

Otherwise what?

Or else, l will follow you

Annie?

Annie, stop

Annie, listen to me

Annie, Annie!

Sit here for a moment

Yes, very tasty food. Very nice

Excuse me, may l have some water?

Water, water

Excuse me Sure

What's wrong with you?

Didn't you promise not to be angry!

l know that outsiders never visit us

lt's hard for you. But it's hard for them also. So is it for me

Why are you losing heart?

lt is a good opportunity to open up to people

Mom, we all are a family now

Nobody is mocking you

Just a minute

You have to trust them

You have to try and reach out to them

You never talk to others

You are confined to your own world

Why, mom? Why?

Don't hide yourself from others

Share your feelings with them

Say something

Very strange people!

They are making so much noise

Mother, what seems noise to you...

is in fact a silence for them

Check out my dive jump here

Oh, my elbow, my elbow!

Come, come

One minute

Here

Cover yourself. C'mon

Was l exposed?

Yeah, you know that thing... !

That?

Hiccup

Hiccup!

Must be my parents

No! No, Please!

No, l have to go

No, look, please don't go l mean, you've just come

Tomorrow l am leaving

You will have to spend whole day with me

Without your hiccups and without your Mama and Papa, okay?

Okay

Annie, my shirt!

l will keep it with me

l won't leave tomorrow if you don't come

You have to come

Joseph! Be careful!

Mom, please

Why do you employ such handicapped people?

Joseph has been working here since last 1 5 years

He is a good craftsman

That's okay but any accident can happen

Like it happened today

You cannot alert him because he can't hear

Doctor, would his hand be alright?

Yes, but it will take time to heal

Do you have any other problem?

Any other problem?

Papa, any other complication?

No, he is all right

But his hand must be taken care of

No, nothing will happen

l will come home for the dressing

Call me if there is any emergency

Papa thanks you

Thank you

Annie, l have to speak to you. Come

Look Annie, we will pay for this treatment

But we can't employ him further

What did you say?

He will have pension though

We have our own problems...

Papa's hand got burnt...

and you're saying you want to sack him!

He's worked at your place for 1 5 years

This thing occurred at the job

He is in such an agony and you want to talk of pension!

What do you think you are, huh?

Papa says that he will return to work soon

Raj

Raj

Listen to me

Mother was very upset

l couldn't leave her alone

Suddenly Papa...

Mother! Papa!

And what about me?

Am l not a part of your life?

You knew l wouldn't leave without seeing you

And yet you didn't come!

You were right

We live in two different worlds

We can never be together

Take care of your parents

l am going

You are leaving?

Now that l need you most and you're leaving me alone?

Papa's hand got burnt

His hand got burnt today

And you know what these hands mean to him!

They are his voice

But you will never understand!

l know what you're thinking

You're wondering if l will ever return

Right?

You're just thinking that

Look at me, Annie

Hello! Not now

Later when l come back

You're really pretty when you smile

You look very...

very ugly

l love you

l had my fears when l saw Raj leaving

What if he didn't return!

Now you're always with me

Not only in my dreams, but in my body too

Raj, my mind is full of aspirations and fear

l have started loving myself

Because he is in my body now

l wish you were here!

How will l explain to Mom and Dad?

l have made a mistake

Abortion?

For the fear of what people might say!

Wise thing?

ls abortion a wise thing to do?

l won't go against the church

l will not go against God

You don't have faith in God

But you have faith in life

You want to kill my love?

We will soon marry, don't you go getting upset

Raj will surely come back

He will accept me

l don't care about people You just accept me as l am

l will stay here

ln this house with my baby

You are right

l wish l had died instead of Sam

Papa!

What are you doing?

Don't beat her!

Don't fight because of me

Listen to me!

l am not irresponsible

For twenty years l forgot my existence and lived for you

And you call me irresponsible!

l am not

For you l was only a voice

Two soaps for five rupees

l didn't know the meaning of this

But l kept on saying it on your insistence

And now you accuse me of being negligent of my duties

People used to taunt you and only l could hear

l even couldn't cry because you were there

And l am irresponsible!

When you bought a coffin for Mariam

At that time l didn't know what death was

And you blamed me for Sam's death

And l am irresponsible!

l am irresponsible

l didn't get to enjoy my childhood

And now that l want to attain motherhood

you want to take away that too from me

Whole life l supported you,

looked after you

Now it's your turn

Until you bear this responsibility...

l will not return home

Did you hear?

Did you hear me?

Two for five rupees, sir. Please buy it

Give us one more chance

Speak with smile

Who taught me this?

l am sorry. It was a mistake on my part

No, mama

lt's not your mistake

l shouldn't have said all that Sorry, Mama

l am sorry

Papa has agreed?

Being a mother yourself you're suggesting abortion?

So what if my child were like you?

So what if he's born deaf?

My child will be a part of me

l would never curse my child

No, mother!

l know your life has been that of hardships

Even then you lived your life so courageously

l was never sorry that you were my parents

l am proud of you

lf my child were like you, l'd be proud of it too

After all it'd be my own child,

my own flesh and blood

Goa! Yeah

Okay everybody!

Bye! See you. Have a nice time

A frilly frock for Annie! Yeah

Annie!

Driver, please stop the bus

Annie, l love you

Raj!

Raj!

Listen, she needs to get on the bus

Hey, watch out there

Sorry

Thank you

Stop! Stop the bus

Thank you, driver

Annie!

Annie!

Stop the bus

Stop the bus please

What are you doing? You are stepping on my feet

Raj

Stop the bus

Annie, l miss you

Excuse me, please stop the bus

Stop the bus!

What is it?

Nothing

l love you

You look lovely when you smile

You look very...

ugly

Beautiful

Papa, it was a mistake on our part

Please forgive us

We never wanted to go away from you

We always wanted to come close to you

l know one day he will forgive me

You may kiss the bride

lt all seems just like yesterday

Our wedding

Papa and Mom were not there

The happiest moment of my life,

was so incomplete without them

Hello

Yeah, Raj also says that he looks like Papa

Mom, where is Papa?

Annie taught me

Sam

Your son Sam

ln the name of the Father the Son and the holy ghost

l hereby baptise you

God bless you my son

Once again we had faith in God

And all the joys of life came back

Sam has come back in our lives

Our best wishes are with him

Annie grew up in our tiny village

Today she has become famous

Singing Star

We are happy for Raj and Annie's success

But we are sad to see them leaving,

on such a occasion l want... Actually all of us wish...

Joseph to come on stage and share his feelings with us

Come Joseph

Come on, Joseph

Don't be shy. Come on

Everybody wants to hear you

Go. Come on

Today...

l am very happy

l don't believe that...

you all wish to hear me

There are so many more things that l want to say,

but l feel at a loss to express myself

Since childhood people have been calling me handicapped

They'd come at our place...

look at me and call me deaf and dumb

They pitied me

Some people even made fun of me,

laugh at me

But today l have no complaints to God

l am happy, contented

l am deaf and dumb that's why l got Flavy

l am proud of my Flavy

Whether l was wrong or right...

Flavy always stood by me

She has been a great inspiration in my life

ln each and every way

l wish her all the best

l am always with you

Thank you

Flavy provided me the most beautiful dream of my life

Our daughter Annie

We were fortunate to have Annie in our life

But l wouldn't know if the same would be true for her

She had to suffer a lot for our sake

She became our voice

She had to struggle hard

l used to take her with me to sell soap

Two for five rupees, two for five rupees

l would scold her

l would tell her to smile to speak louder

And l kicked her out of the house...

when she was pregnant

But never did she complain

Always kept silent

Forgive me

Thank you

And then God sent Raj for Annie

He came in her life like Prince Charming

Raj gave her so much happiness, which we weren't able to

l always hated Raj

l don't know why

Okay

l won't be able to continue

Do you think trees can speak and hear?

Sure they can

The same way l and Flavy communicate

l have talked to trees

l ask them everything

Even today l can hear Mariam's voice

Her songs

Her voice is always with us

The same way Annie will always be with us

We will feel her in the rays of sun

She would become a bird and come to see me

Annie lives in my heart

She can never go away

Papa! Doctors say Annie is in poor condition

They have almost given up on her

Do something, Papa!

l can't live without her

And l know neither can you

Papa, call her back

She is slowly drifting away

Say something

Talk to her. She will come back to hear your voice

Speak to her!

Papa, please

Papa

Say something

Speak out

She always wanted to hear her name called out from your lips

Throughout her life she has been your voice

You will have to bring her back

You will have to!

You'll have to

l cannot live without her

Raj, take a hold of yourself

Call her ''Annie'' once and she will come back

Papa, bring her back!

Come on

Come, sit her

Annie?

Papa!

Annie, you look very pretty when you laugh

You look very ugly
