The ING market. Look at that.
We need a proper report on this. I want everyone's point of view on this.
-So... -Tanya.
I have downloaded Shraddha's files
but I won't be able to finish them today.
-It's okay. Forward them to me. I'll do it. -Sure.
Not required.
I'll handle it myself.
-Hello, everybody. -Hello.
What happened? Did you miss your flight to Germany?
I didn't miss it. I just didn't take it.
-Guys, let's take five. -Sure.
Bye.
All okay?
More than okay.
Then what happened?
What would you say if I said you have just been offered your dream job?
VP, Marketing of DKS Ltd.
And the office is in Munich,
Germany!
What are you saying, girl? That's your dream job.
That's right. But I refused.
And that's why they offered this job to you.
Hold on. Why did you refuse?
Well, I have a big change of plan.
Are you...
-Oh, you are... -Stop peering. I have peed on this.
-Hey, congratulations. -Thank you, babe.
Congratulations to you too.
-To me? -Yes.
For becoming an aunt.
No, not for that.
For becoming the VP of DKS.
-Shut up, Shraddha. I'm not going. -What?
Of course not.
Are you mad, Tanya?
This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
And just so you know, if you don't respond soon,
they'll offer this to someone else.
Then they should.
Look, I have had some time to think about it and
I don't want to go abroad anymore.
Is it because of Mikesh?
No, dear. We have taken this decision together.
I can't believe this.
Tanya, are you really sure of this?
I'm very sure.
Well, he was strange in some ways. One of a kind actually.
I mean, he used to smack Miku just like that for no reason.
-Really? -Yes.
And when we'd be watching some movie at home,
he'd immediately make us fast forward all the emotional scenes.
He'd never let us watch.
If he were here and saw Miku in this state, he would have got very upset.
Really.
Actually, even I
feel a bit guilty about all this.
That it's all happening because of me.
Not at all.
Yes, I know. I'm the reason.
Just think about it. If your child says that you are the reason
he's not making an important decision of his life,
then how would you feel? Tell me.
But you're not the real reason.
Yes, I am.
Miku said to me, Venkat, that
he doesn't want to go abroad
because he fears he might also get a similar call about me.
You understand what I'm saying?
You are not reason. You living here is the reason.
Meaning?
Lata, do you remember?
When the kids used to live with us, they were our responsibility.
We used to make all our decisions keeping them in mind.
In the same way, when we start living with our kids,
we become a responsibility for them.
They think that they'll have to make all decisions keeping us in mind.
Perhaps, I could be wrong.
But this is what I think.
And that's why I keep visiting my kids
but I don't stay back there.
Are you packing?
-Yes. -Why?
I'm leaving for Indore, Miku.
-What? -What's wrong, mom?
Nothing's wrong.
I'm here for many days, Tanu.
I met you both and had a good time here.
I need to take care of things there too.
You aren't going anywhere, mom.
Your dad from whom I used to seek permission has passed away, Miku.
Now, I seek permission from no one.
Mom, please don't get upset like this and go.
No, my dear. Who said I'm upset?
I've stayed here for too long now, Tanu.
And you both should also sort out your issues.
We are all sorted, mom.
I mean, it was a minor confusion but now, everything
-has been sorted. -Look. We're doing absolutely fine.
What about your ticket?
I'm sure it's not booked yet.
I'll do it. Not a problem.
I'll do it it seems. While coming, Antima booked her ticket last minute.
-Antima? -She's our presser, Mahesh's daughter.
So what, Miku?
Booking a ticket in today's internet age is not a herculean task.
So, you'll book a ticket through the Internet all by yourself?
Mr. Internet, show me the flights from Mumbai to Indore.
-Hello. -Lata, you have texted me by mistake.
I'll do it for you.
Great! So, Mr. Internet, tell me which flights are available for Indore today.
Look at her acting like some Lady Superstar.
I can do it, Miku!
Sorry. I do need to book a ticket. But bothered you in vain.
These days kids think we can't do anything without their help.
And now, you're sharing all this with Mr. Internet?
Absolutely! Don't people share everything with the internet nowadays?
Don't you, Miku?
Lata, it's all done.
Okay. Thank you. Bye.
Tanu, just take a look at this and make the payment for it.
I'll pay you cash.
Do it, please.
Please do it.
Mikesh will be here and his mom will be there. All alone?
Tanya is not that nasty to cause a rift in the family.
Then why is your mom leaving? I just can't understand.
Mr. Puroshottam, my flight's in the evening. Will you book me a cab?
Of course, I will. I'll come to pick you up as well.
Okay, great.
I need to speak in private.
Sure. Tell me.
With them I mean.
Oh, I see.
And what a fool I was to think that I am family too.
Everyone wants to have private conversations.
-Tanu, I want to tell you something. -Sure.
I feel that in today's day and age, girls
don't need to choose between a career and family.
If you think that moving abroad is good for your job,
then go. You should definitely go.
But don't stay confused like this.
Mom, I am not confused.
It just doesn't feel right to go abroad.
Then let it be for now.
If you ever feel like it in the future, then you can think it over.
I am just unable to understand why you are leaving.
And where are you going?
I'm going back home, Miku,
without your help.
Okay?
You see, don't you? That I can do it on my own.
I'll have to do it, Miku.
I don't say that it is easy. Yes, it's difficult.
But then it is what it is, Miku.
You know, it took me two months to get used to making a cup of tea.
And unknowingly, I used to end up making two.
But this is how life is, Miku.
Life and death are in no one's control, Miku.
It'll happen when it's meant to happen. We'll see when the time comes.
But if you keep holding on to that one thing, your life will stop moving.
Now, come on. Help me look for my ID. Get up.
I can't find it anywhere and I might just miss my flight because of that.
-You have your phone, right? -Yes.
-Your bag. -Yes, the phone's in it.
No battery in that bag, right?
I won! Yes!
Miku.
How about a race?
Hey, mom. This is cheating.
-Yes. I'm first. Woohoo. -Mom, this is cheating.
-I am first. I was here already. -Oh, that's right!
-Come on, let's go up and race again. -What?
I shouldn't have stopped when you slowed down.
I should have finished the race first.
Come on. It's time to go.
Let me take that. Give it to me.
Lata, here's your ticket.
-Thank you very much. -It's okay.
Online booking can be confusing at times.
Not just for this ticket but for everything.
-I had a great time with you. -That's why you're leaving so soon?
-Home is where the heart lies. -True.
-Do come to Indore sometime. -Let me see your ticket.
-Sure. Okay. -I'll definitely come.
Are all the bags in, Miku?
-Oh, God. Lata, look. Oh, no. -What is it?
-I booked it for the next month by mistake. -What?
-Yes. What do we do now? -How come?
Miku. Look, what has happened.
Oh. Oh, my God.
My goodness.
Venkat, you scared the daylights out of me.
-So, it was a prank. Yes. -Shall we leave?
Aunt, enough with the pranks and jokes. The cab's waiting.
-Yes, I'm coming. -Let's go.
-Take care. -I will.
Let's go.
How is Mikesh?
He's okay.
His emotional outburst is so rare that when it happens, it does with a boom.
-Breaks the monotony. -Yes, it breaks the monotony.
So, I'm assuming Canada isn't happening.
Pranav, I hope you know Mikesh isn't the reason for me not going.
Hold on. You mean to say that I think Mikesh made you cancel the plan?
Yes.
You don't know much about me and Mikesh, right?
How much has he really told you about me?
All I know is that you were his roommate at some point.
Well, I was just living rent-free at his place as I had quit my job.
Oh, you had a beard.
Yes.
And that made him envious of me because he couldn't grow one.
He made me shave mine as well.
And you shaved?
He used to blackmail me that if I didn't, I'd have to share the rent.
Anyway, the point being,
Mikesh was doing really well at his job.
And my startup was leaving me as broke as fuck.
I mean, I was in deep shit.
My family thought that since I owned a startup, I was swimming in money.
But my account was empty.
No one knew any of this except Mikesh.
One day,
my younger brother called and said that he wanted a laptop.
That was the first time he asked me for something.
But how could I tell him I didn't have money to buy even a second-hand laptop?
I decided to fuck this shit.
Pull the shutters down on my startup and look for a job.
And I actually started updating my CV.
After a few days, one night, my younger brother called me again.
And
he said, brother, thank you for the new laptop.
Get it?
Mikesh gifted a fancy and costly laptop to my brother without even telling me.
And told him that it was a gift from me.
He never told me why he did what he did.
But I know why he did it.
Because he could not see me giving up on my dreams.
I thought I knew everything about him.
So, do I feel that Mikesh made you cancel this plan?
Oh, I'm sure, he did not.
I know him too well.
He may not talk about me but I remember him.
Tanya, he will never let you give up on your dreams.
Mickey!
Hey, Tanu. What's up?
Hi.
Wow!
What's the occasion?
Nothing. It's just Friday.
Okay, out with the truth. What do you need?
Believe me. I'm in a good mood and that's about it.
If we're doing all this for sex, then I can either do this or have sex.
Why do girls always feel that guys light candles only for sex?
That's very judgmental of you.
All right then. No cuddling today, okay?
Because I'm really tired and I want to sprawl out and sleep.
You always sprawl out and sleep.
All you see is my body.
Don't you see a soft heart beating inside it?
I just want to be your friend today.
You know like. Come, give me a friendly hug.
Oh, Tanu.
Tanu.
My ears are warming up.
You shouldn't allow so much in a friendly hug.
Oh, yeah.
I allow my male friends a lot more.
You should know that.
Shut up, you liar.
You're a nice girl.
Come. You want to have some wine?
So that I can take advantage of you.
Always.
This is all so impressive.
You didn't make this, right?
Of course, I made it. Taste it.
It's nice.
Sometimes when I look at you, I feel that I wish I was a painter.
I would have made a painting of you and hung it.
Yuck! Why are you talking like that?
What do you mean why? It's called being romantic.
I know. But why are you talking like that?
-What why? -Mickey, what do you want? Just say it.
I'll consider it. I promise.
Come on. I don't want anything. This isn't some scheme.
All right. I'm going to count till 3, and on 3, you're going to spit it out.
-Tanu, this... -One.
-It's nothing... -Two.
-Three. -Go to Germany.
Accept Shraddha's offer.
How do you know about Shraddha's offer?
She had called me. We talk every now and...
That's beside the point.
Send her a message now. Tell her that you are taking up the offer.
No.
-Why? -I'm not going.
But why?
Because I don't want to go, Mickey.
I shiver even at the thought of it.
-You're shivering because this wine is cold. -Shut up.
Tanu, don't waste time. Or you'll lose this offer.
Look, I don't want to go.
Okay. Let's do this for now.
Send her a message saying you're taking up the offer
and we can keep convincing each other all night.
I simply don't want to go, Mikesh.
Come with me.
What?
What is this?
Look at how nerdy you were when you were young.
Who would have imagined you'd grow up to be so hot?
I was very cute and young. Okay?
But cute doesn't land Mikesh.
Look at this one. You had topped in the second grade, hadn't you?
Did the Principal's daughter fail? Why is she slapping you?
And here you are with this creepy uncle.
And in this one here, you were the team leader. Wow.
The others look like losers. So surely, it was you who made them win.
What are you doing, Mickey?
Yes, this one's empty.
Vice President, Marketing. DKS Global Ltd.
Tanu, I have found out.
You will be the first Indian woman to hold this portfolio.
Just saying that is giving me goosebumps.
You have to do this.
Mickey. I'm going to kill you.
Tanu.
Go.
I'm not going, Mickey.
Come on, now. There's so much shopping to be done. Get up now.
I'll pick up dal and rice from the grocery section.
You pick up the washing essentials from here.
Mickey, I don't even know what's in stock at home and what's not.
How will I cope in Germany? I'll end up buying random stuff.
Why random stuff? I'll send you a list. You can buy accordingly.
I've already made a list of some big shopping centres in Frankfurt.
-But... -Sago, buckwheat flour, asafoetida, you get everything.
-What about my rent and credit card bills? -What?
My rent and credit card bills, Mickey.
You pay them here, right? What if I forget there?
Why are you whining? I'll switch it to auto-pay. It's very easy nowadays.
Come. Let's go.
Did you like anything?
I think these should be actually tested in sub-zero temperatures.
Only then we'll know.
-Keep moving towards me. -Yes, that's what I'm doing.
Tanu, you're moving so fast towards me that
-I'll fall. -It's so heavy. Keep moving.
I know. Is this teak wood or what?
I don't know. But the paint on the wall is still wet. Be careful.
Let's take it back.
-Let's keep it at the back there. -No!
Not close to the wall.
Then where? At the centre there?
-Wait. Okay. -Hold it properly.
The house looks perfect now.
Mickey.
I'm so happy our long distance is over.
I was getting sick of it.
Me too.
-Wait. We still need to set up the kitchen. -No.
Come.
Long distance again?
We'll keep all the daily use grains in these glass jars.
When the moment's right, hunting for a condom can make you lose momentum.
You too keep one in one of your novels. It'll be handy in an emergency. Listen!
-Hand me the other curtain. -One minute.
Mickey.
Tanya Nagpal, it's official.
-What? -We are permanent roommates.
No, dad. I don't want you to come to the airport.
You'll get all teary there. It gets very embarrassing.
I'll get her to speak to you on the phone.
Yes.
Okay.
Tanu, are you still asleep?
Listen. We're very late. You need to be at the airport 3 hours prior
and you are still not packed.
I have the list ready.
-The airport lounge is the best place to shop. -Mikesh.
Tanu, just get up now.
Mikesh, can you just shut up!
I don't want to go. Okay?
I agree I was a bit confused but
you seem hell-bent on chasing me away, man.
Why should I go? Tell me.
This is my house.
I've poured my heart and soul into it. Why should I leave all this and go?
Why?
Why should I do it all over again there?
I don't want to do it.
And you, just stop acting all cool about this.
First, you wanted to go. Then you didn't.
Now, you're badgering me to go.
What is all this, Mickey?
Okay.
Come. Give me a hug.
No!
All right. Have some water.
I don't want it.
Why vent your anger on water? Have it.
-It'll wake you up. -No! No.
Tanu, listen to me. Drink some water.
I'm going to sleep, Mikesh.
Listen.
Hey, Tanu.
What's up?
What are you up to?
Frying fritters.
Not this one. This was when I was in the US and you were here in India.
Now, I'm in India and you are in Germany. We're practising for that.
Tanu...
Tanu.
We don't have much time.
Or you know how I love a good fight.
Tell me something.
Are you not sad?
Why will I be sad?
I'm going, Mickey.
And I know that you are sad.
And you're repressing your feelings, aren't you?
You're doing exactly what you did when your dad passed away.
No, I'm not doing that.
But I'll surely feel bad if you don't go because of me.
Have you gotten so bored of me?
I love you.
I love you too.
You see,
now we are not the Mikesh and Tanya that we used to be,
the long distance ones.
When I say I love you, you say it back without taking any pause.
We have come a long way, Tanu.
We are not kids anymore.
Then why are you treating me like a kid?
Because you are being stubborn like a kid.
As if I am forcefully sending you to school.
This is your dream. You wanted to go abroad and work.
You want to do well in your profession and you must.
-Now, I don't. -Yes, you do.
The first time when you said, let's get settled abroad,
the moment I said yes, your face lit up with joy.
I had never seen you that excited ever before.
That was because we were to go together, Mickey.
Now, you're sending me alone.
How can you even think that I'd leave you alone?
You'll find my traces all over Germany.
I won't let you be alone.
I promise.
Long distance yet again?
You know what's the most amazing thing about long distance?
The hugs after the long distance.
They're very special.
Tanu, did we leave anything behind?
No.
I don't know why I feel that we have missed something.
Everything's there.
Yes, we have definitely missed something.
Are you having a premonition?
I don't know what premonition means but
if something's about to happen, then I already get a feeling about it.
Mickey, that's a premonition.
Okay, then that's what I am having.
Mickey, you are making me nervous.
Now, if you suddenly take out a gift or say that I'm leaving you behind or so,
I swear I'll cancel my tickets.
Shit. Mister, stop the car.
We haven't left anything behind, Mickey.
Tanu.
You forgot these.
Your house keys.
It means something.
Yes, I forgot.
You should keep them.
Let's go. We're getting late.
You go.
Aren't you coming to drop me?
I haven't even said goodbye to you.
Mickey.
