Alright, you're sitting already.

It's nice and quiet, right?

-Hmmm.

We should talk something.

Hmmm.

See

We should talk, because

ours is an arranged marriage.

Need to get to know each other.

-Hmmm.

Did you like me when I first came

to your house for bride-seeing ceremony?

Hmmm.

If you say something apart from "Hmmm",

that would be really helpful.

I liked you.

-Hmmm?

I liked you.

-Hmmm.

And you?

Hmmm.

What does 'Hmmm' mean?

The exact same thing that

all your 'hmmm' meant.

You ask me something.

Okay, I'll ask.

What does a husband mean to you?

I mean

What do you need from a husband?

To share my future with.

To take good care of me.

To feel safe.

For security

And you?

Hmmm?

What do you need from a wife?

Me?

I had a little brother. We'd sleep

in the living room next to each other.

He'd always put his arm around me,

I hated it.

I'd always push it away.

One day, I'd gone to school.

When I came back from school

They told me he died in an accident.

He was there when I left in the morning.

How could I cope with him being dead

by afternoon?

I had to sleep alone in the living room.

I'd have nightmares about my brother.

My brother would ask me,

"See, you never let me put my arm around you"

"Around whom will my put my arm now?"

I'd get really scared.

And wake up out of breath.

I'd sweat a lot.

Then, I started sleeping next to my mother.

I'd put my arm around her.

That was okay till a certain age.

Then, my dad said "You're old enough

to sleep on your own"

And made me sleep in the living room.

I'd sleep in the living room, get scared.

And wake up with a start!

I want a wife

To sleep with my arm around her.

That's what I want from my wife.

Did I bore you?

-No.

Are you hungry?

What do I say?

Words fail me.

When our eyes do the talking;

Words are nothing.

This strange tingling;

I feel inside me.

The kind that makes me blush;

I can't speak of it!

With small desires welling up;

I stutter and stammer.

There's a breeze wafting;

With the scent of blossoms.

Piercing me with your gaze;

My heart does a waltz.

We came out to give them privacy,

and he's out there playing on the slide!

What?

He's playing on the slide?

Does our son even know

how stuff works?

You and me, Me and you;

We are one!

You and me, Me and you;

We are one!

What's with the sudden plan?

We were planning on a pilgrimage

after your wedding.

We'll return in a week.

Take care of the house, dear.

-Okay, mother-in-law!

I'm leaving for work.

Okay!

Suddenly, out of nowhere;

Love struck me! Leaves me panting!

Today and forever, I see us together;

With clasped hands, today and forever!

Unspoken desires, wicked thoughts;

They weigh down on me.

Our quest for love ends here;

I'll be yours, till the end of time.

Someone's knocking.

We'll answer tomorrow.

-Let me go!

Are you well?

-Welcome home.

Hi, dad.

MOM :
Are you well?

TAMIZH :
Back so soon?

Say something.

With small desires welling up;

I stutter and stammer.

There's a breeze wafting;

With the scent of blossoms.

Piercing me with your gaze;

My heart does a waltz.

Life's brought us together;

We're a brand new chapter.

You and me, Me and you;

We are one!

You and me, Me and you;

We are one!

You and me, Me and you;

We are one!

You and me, Me and you;

We are one!

What do I say?

Words fail me.

When our eyes do the talking;

Words are nothing.

This strange tingling;

I feel inside me.

The kind that makes me blush;

I can't speak of it!

Son! Tamizh!

Hurry up.

You're getting me late for work

every day!

YAMUNA:
Must you go to work?

TAMIZH:
I'm coming, dad.

Hurry up.

-Be quiet, he'll come.

Inappropriate man

Hello?

Okay, sir.

I'll tell you where to bring it.

Okay, sir.

I'll bring it over.

Tamizh!

Let me just resign and come back!

I have an errand to run.

I'll get to work on my own.

You take a cab.

Why did you rush me?

Just take a cab this one day.

Everything was just fine.

But one day, dad came home

very worried.

We didn't know anything.

He looked very disturbed.

I'd never seen him that way before.

But he wouldn't talk about it.

Dad!

Dad!

You forgot to put on your shoes.

Put them on.

Tamizh

What?

These days, I'm

My memory is getting worse, right?

Not really.

You forget some small things. Why?

I don't forget the big ones, right?

No, no.

Is this about the shoes?

No

Let's see your aunt

on the way to the office.

You go in.

I'll wait here.

What?

Looked like you were arguing with him...

No, it's nothing.

That was something else.

Let's go.

Okay, fine.

Officer wants to see you.

Bring me Mr. Devanathan's accounts file.

What are you looking for, dad?

I'd kept this important file

in the locker...

It's missing.

Did you leave it somewhere

and forget?

I don't have memory issues!

You carry on. I'll handle it.

-Don't get so worked up. I'll look for it, too.

Dad, did you find the file?

I've got a headache.

I'm going home.

Where's the boy?

Am I in charge of him?

For how much longer?

He's not a child.

He's married!

He's a responsible boy.

He'll manage.

Be careful with the file.

Remember where you keep it.

Careful.

Mother-in-law

He's still not returned.

His phone is switched off.

I've written the office number by the phone.

Call up.

Hello?

Is Mr. Tamizh there?

He's left, madam.

He's left?

Okay, thank you.

She gets so worked up

if he's just a little bit late

Want to eat?

What's wrong with the guy?

Your dad yelled at your mom.

Yeah?

There was a file missing at work,

so he's worked up.

What?

Dad yelled at you?

Let it go.

He was stressed about work.

So he'll yell at you?

Let it go.

What do you care?

Your wife got all worked up

because you came late from work

One whack

Buzz off.

-I'm buzzing off.

Scrub it nice.

Father-in-law?

He came home last week.

He said he forgot

where he left the money

It's not that.

He'd forgotten some file.

They're saying he stole it.

Dear

Yes?

I feel dizzy.

I'm feeling dizzy.

Lie down for some time.

Sir, come in

Sorry for your loss.

-Come in, sir.

It's fine.

Can we speak in private?

Did he say something about a file?

My dad is not a dishonest person.

-Of course!

I know that very well.

I shall burn in hell

if I utter one bad word about him.

But it's my duty to ask you

Did he bring some bag or something?

What bag, sir?

A bag of cash

Did he bring..?

You want to know if he sold the file

and brought home money?

It's not like that.

I had to ask.

He lost the file, so his pension

and provident funds has been revoked.

You had to be removed from the job, too.

-I know, sir.

I'm very sorry.

If you need some help,

feel free to ask me.

Okay, sir. Thanks!

Take care, Tamizh.

Take care of your mother.

Not resting?

I think I'm pregnant.

Everyone's talking about the suicide.

And there was something about

a file theft on the news.

The neighbours are uncomfortable.

If you could vacate the house

in a week's time

You want us to vacate suddenly?
