The Mistress of Spices Page #5

Everything OK, Jagjit?

Yeah, it's all good.

Don't be scared. It's just a bus backfiring.

Scared? I ain't scared.

Are you all right, son? Somebody after you?

How would you like never to be scared again,

Jagjit?

Teach him, till he's a master like you.

Why are you doing this?

Because I want to.

Cinnamon,

you have found a true friend for Jagjit

to guide him through the highs and lows

of life in America.

Thank you, spices.

Their desires are now fulfilled.

Whatever, man...

I never got to cook for him.

Turns out he's fallen in love with someone else.

He told you that?

Yeah.

I can't hate him for it.

I've never seen him so happy.

Please, spices, give me one night with Doug.

One night for my desires.

Then you have me forever.

Aap Ki Nazron Ne Samjha

Ladyjaan.

You look... different.

Or is it my eye playing?

I have brought something for you.

Are you feeling better?

Oh, yes.

Hameeda and her brother have been very kind.

She's been cooking all day for us

and she's been keeping me company.

Today will you have some chai?

And you?

Sure. I'll help her.

Haroun... I've come to say goodbye.

Where are you going?

I'm returning back home.

What about your store, Ladyjaan,

and your customers?

Is it not right for us to go back

to where we belong?

Not for me, Ladyjaan.

Are you not angry at what they did to you?

Of course, I'm angry, Ladyjaan.

But I still have both my eyes

and I have such friends.

Haroun, you have found so much more

than wealth here.

You came for a dream and found love.

Now, what did you bring for me?

It's for Hameeda.

Well, actually... it's for you both... together.

Lotus root.

You put this on her on the night of your wedding.

It's for a lifetime of deep loving.

Here it is.

What do you think?

It's uh... It's beautiful.

Is this yours?

Oh, yeah. It's an old bakery, actually.

I just love the idea of making old things new.

There's something cool about it.

Forgive me, Doug,

but I have to return to where I belong.

You showed me such love.

Thank you.

But it cannot be.

I do not expect you to understand.

But there is no other way.

I'm sorry.

I will carry your love with me forever.

Spices.

I never left you.

I could have lived with you.

And him.

Love cannot be wrong.

But I will leave him, if it means losing you.

I give my life to you.

Tilo!

Tilo!

Are you OK?

Are you OK?

I woke up and you were gone.

I read your note.

I crossed the bridge and just

as I got to the other side...

...the quake hit.

Are you sure you're OK?

Yes.

Let's get you out... Let's get you out of here.

Tilo Mistress,

you have shown your devotion to the spices.

The spices know you will never leave them.

Doug, I'm not leaving.

You're staying with me.

I mean here.

I'm not leaving here.

Tilo, there's nothing left here.

This is my home.

I guess I can help you rebuild it.

You never told me what my spice is.

Sesame.

Tilo.
