Answer:
Sambu persuaded his friend to go to cinema for observing the show acted and story written by his father. Previously his father had told him the gist of the story. The story was about a young girl named Kumari who was forced to marry at the age of fourteen and who refused and wanted to study in a university and earn an independent living. Then after, she was away by her stern father who was not other than Sambu’s father.
Sambu was seen sitting in the film hall eagerly waiting for the picture to begin. Since his father’s death he had not seen any film and the hall started to be darkened. After the show of trailers, the real picture started. His father came on the screen. He was wearing the dhoti and shirt he used to wear at home. Then Sambu saw a little girl on the screen to have been patted on her head by him. The girl was with a slate on her knee and he started dictating to her. He asked her a little arithmetic to which she accurately answered. Then his father was delighted. Sambu remembered how he once committed mistake in solving a puzzle.
After the film ended, Sambu gazed at the aperture in the projection room as if his father had vanished into it. The world seemed very lonely to him and he started running to his house where his mother had been waiting for him. He told his mother that it was a lovely film show and he also narrated how his father sang and acted. His mother listened to him in grim silence. He also asked her why she did not say anything. He also requested her to give him four annas every day for film. His mother warned him to be careful for his study.
Then she refused to go to film but Sambu went everyday and at the end of every show, he felt sorrow because his father was no more seen. Sambu was always longing for to have his father’s company, but his mother felt sorrow at his neglect in study. His mother was unable to understand his carvings for the film enacted by his father.
