What if she says she likes him

No!

Put the glass down.

You took one from here recently.

Turn on the music, Koya!

That'd be better.

Okay.

Come..

Shall we ring the bell?

Why do you want to know?

Nidhi.. - Just to know, dear.

with elders? Say sorry. - No.

It's okay.

Isn't it?

No. - What?

- It isn't okay.

Leave it, buddy.

You can say that.

I was the one humiliated.

Hey!

It's nothing. - Vimala has

a headache. - Oh.

She's resting.

That's why she didn't show up.

Let her get some rest.

Your girl and her father are fine.

But her brother, that shorty..

Be wary of him. - Are you still

thinking about that?

And I doubt if her mother

really has a headache.

Don't just doubt it.

She had no headache.

She just didn't like our visit.

You felt that too, didn't you?

- Yes. - Same here.

We will change her gradually.

- Yes, we'll try.

Aren't you happy?

- Yes.

I am delighted.

Let's go.

Wait, I'll be back in a minute.

Ambu, do you have

anything to tell me?

Yes.

- Yes?

Actually..

When I stand

before the girl I love

my legs will tremble.

I'll have a lump in my throat.

My heart will start pounding.

That isn't for lack of courage.

I am just worried.

I'm worried

that you'd reject my love.

- Nidhi. - Yes?

Nidhi.

I love you.

In fact, a lot.

Mr. Vinod, after meeting

your daughter

that guy is adamant

about marrying her.

She's still pursuing her studies,

Chakrapani. How can we..

Let her. They just want

to get them engaged.

We can demand that the wedding be

conducted after a couple of years.

That's not the only issue.

That guy is almost 12 years

older than her. What about..

Is that even a problem?

Ms. Vimala, their horoscopes

are almost a perfect match.

TIMEIN:
01:07:59:80DURATION: 04:28TIMEOUT: 01:08:04:08

Ms. Vimala, their horoscopes

are almost a perfect match.

If you let go of this

great opportunity

I will definitely blame you.

Vinod, they are a high-caste

family. They are affluent too.

That boy isn't half bad.

I think this is a good

marriage alliance.

What should I tell them, Vinod?

- That I didn't like him. - Nidhi!

Mom, I didn't like him.

- Nobody asked you!

How dare you speak

before elders!

Get back inside. - This is my life.

I have a say in it.

Chakrapani, you're responsible

for everything.

Don't you have better things to do?

Did I ask you to play matchmaker?

I'll get going.

Make a decision and inform me.

I'll tell you when I am ready

to get married.

Or I will marry the man I like.

Nobody needs to put their nose

in it. - Bye, sir.

What the heck!

I'll come back soon.

Are you supporting this, Dad?

- They don't let me earn

a few pennies. - Impossible.

- How dare you talk back!

TIMEIN:
01:09:04:68DURATION: 01:92TIMEOUT: 01:09:06:60

Shucks! Move!

It's just the alarm.

Times have changed.

Well, it was for the better.

Don't forget. It's the 12th

of next month. - Sure.

Everyone should come.

- We'll be there. - Tell Ambu too.

I couldn't meet the expat.

Tell him. - Sure.

See you. - Red salute.

- Red salute.

Be careful with the car.

Maybe.. - Mom.

Mom. - Won't you be

going to college?

I will.

Why did you go to Vinod's house?

He was here. He just left.

What was it?

- Did he come to tell you that?

Don't you know Nidhi,

Vinod's daughter? - Yes, Nidhi.

She's getting engaged

on the 12th of next month.

Vinod was here to invite us.

Ummu.
