Dad, your tea. - Yes, my dear.
I'll get the parathas. - Okay.
Hello. Yes, sir.
Mr Sharma, happy Diwali. - Wish you the same, sir.
Won't you come to the shop?
Yes, I will. I was about to leave.
Please come quickly. I need to go to my village for a few days.
Only you can run the shop in my absence.
One more thing. I also have a surprise for you.
I'll leave right away, okay? - Okay.
Pushpa, I am leaving. - Dad.
Have breakfast first. - Yes.
Do one thing. Pack it for me.
My boss asked me to come quickly. He needs to go to his village.
And he wants to hand over the shop to me.
He trusts me so much.
This isn't called trusting someone, but taking advantage of them.
He is not that bad.
Pushpa, he also has a surprise for me.
Hmm! He will give you a cheap sari and make you work extra.
Make sure he gives you a good colour at least.
Pushpa, you are the limit.
I will leave now. - Wait. I'll give you the lunch box.
I'll leave now, okay?
Okay, Pushpa. I am getting late. - Okay.
When I tried to open the door, the lights started flickering.
And that was so scary! Oh my God!
Have some water.
No. I don't want to drink water.
Mansi, I have told you several times not to go there.
But you never listen to me.
Don't go there again.
Please. - How...
Harsh, it could be a power problem, right? Wire problem and all.
Then go. - I don't want to go alone.
Please come with me, Harsh.
Sorry. I don't want to go there, Mansi.
Please spare me. I am sorry.
'Harsh won't listen to me so easily. I'll have to do something.'
No one listens to me in this house. I always have to beg for things.
Mansi, what are you saying?
I am fighting for women's rights, Harsh. I am raising my voice.
And if needed, I will also protest against everyone.
My voice is being suppressed in this house. No one respects me.
No one loves me.
I am insulted in front of everyone.
Mother raised her hand to me in front of everyone,
but I remained silent.
Arya yelled at me. And I still remained silent.
I tolerate all the insults without any complaints.
I always follow all the rules like a dutiful daughter-in-law.
Do you know why?
For your sake.
I do so much for you, Harsh. And you...
Fine.
If no one wants me in this house, why should I stay here?
I am going to my mom's house.
Mansi, wait! - I am going to my mom's house.
'He won't even stop me.'
All the household work is done. I studied, too.
I gossiped with Simran and did everything to kill time.
But the time won't pass.
How will this day pass without Arya?
I miss you, sir.
I told Anu to go home and get some rest.
But it is so difficult to spend time without her.
What should I do?
Let me call her.
Shall I call him?
He might be busy. But I should try once.
'The number you are trying to call is currently busy. Try again later.'
Anu's phone is busy.
His phone is busy.
I wonder who he is talking to!
Sir!
Hello! - Hi, Anu. How are you?
How are you feeling now?
I am fine, sir. You already asked me this question in the morning, right?
Yes.
Do you have a problem with me asking you this again?
No, sir. No problem. You can check on me as many times as you want.
But did you also want to say anything else?
And... How's the weather in Chandni Chowk?
Sir, the heavy rainfall has caused floods.
I hope everything is fine in the office.
People treat me like a spam folder in this house.
No one even notices me.
I am going to my mom's house.
Mansi, please wait.
Okay.
I will stay.
But you have to come to that room with me, okay?
Mansi, I can't go there. I have never been there. - Okay, Harsh!
Got it! Bye!
We can't go to that room! - Bye!
Okay. Fine.
Really?
Thank you, Harsh!
Finally, someone listened to me! I am sure you love me.
Thank you, Harsh.
Let's go now. I will follow you.
Mansi, this is not right.
You are sending me first because you are scared.
No, Harsh.
I am a bit old-fashioned in such things.
Don't the ancestors say the husband should always
walk ahead of the wife?
Tell me something, sir.
Why do you always hesitate to say how you feel?
Why don't you just say what you feel?
You couldn't confess your feelings to me the other day.
But you can do that now.
Anu, I don't hesitate. I am scared.
I am scared that I might lose the love
I got after so many years
and the happiness I finally have in my life.
You won't lose anything, sir.
Someone is trying to become a part of your life.
She is just waiting for you to call her.
I wonder when you will do that.
Very soon.
Do you have trust in me?
More than myself. More than everyone.
But yes. I have no patience.
I can't wait any longer.
Tell me when I will get my surprise.
Let's talk in the office tomorrow.
Take care.
Okay, sir. Bye.
Okay. Bye.
He said we would talk in the office tomorrow.
It means he is going to propose to me tomorrow!
"Even if you said nothing, I heard it all."
"You have chosen me as your life partner."
"I know you have chosen me."
"The first heady taste of love..."
"It is the first time, and I love the wait."
"Oh my silly heart, what should I do now?"
"Oh my restless heart, please help me."
Aunt Rajni, you are here! I was cleaning the house!
Rajni, what brings you here?
Simran told me
that she was unwell. So, I came to check on her.
But what I witnessed here was totally different.
She seemed quite excited.
She was dancing.
Feeling dizzy and fainting...
Was that all a pretence?
It wasn't a pretence, Rajni. She was sick.
She was also admitted to the hospital.
It all happened because of 'ashtami'.
Pushpa, you might be wrong.
The reason could be something else.
What do you mean?
People are catching different viruses these days.
Typhoid, chikungunya, malaria...
And...
'Loveria'.
What are you saying?
I am just trying to explain it to you.
Keep your daughter in check.
I should get going now.
Take care, okay?
What was going on?
Why don't you rest? Go and get some rest.
Sorry, mom.
Rajni is too much!
She speaks rubbish.
A broomstick.
Let's go.
Go on.
Go on, Harsh.
Mansi, I can't do this. Please. I am going.
Harsh, you can't run. You must open the door.
You said you would do this. Come on. Open it.
Mansi, I can't do this. Please. - Hey!
Fine. You can't do it, right?
Then, I am going to pack my bags and leave for my maternal house. Bye.
Mansi, please. No.
Wait. I'll go.
Go now.
Harsh!
What are you doing, son?
Mom, Mansi has been forcing me to open this door for her.
Please reason with her. I don't want to go inside.
Do you think she will listen to me?
Did you see that? She has no problem.
Take the keys and open the door.
You go ahead. I will follow you.
Here you go, Harsh.
Harsh, hold the keys. Go inside.
Mansi! - Mother, please. Come on.
Today, Arya forgot the shawl I gave him. Soon, he will forget me, too.
Don't cry, Meera.
You are a strong woman. How can you give up so easily?
When I see Arya becoming crazy about Anu,
I lose my courage, Jhende.
Anu came into his life recently.
And she ruined all of my efforts, dedication and hard work.
Tell me. What should I do?
You have already tried everything, Meera.
You tried to fire Anu.
You tried to throw her out of Arya's life.
But nothing worked.
This is not an easy task.
Sorry. It's an important call. I have to take it.
Harsh, hurry up!
Let it be. I'll open it.
See, mother? I told you there was some problem with the power.
What the hell!
I am sure Arya gave me the wrong keys. It won't open.
It's impossible. Arya can't do this.
Give me the keys.
Go away.
Jhende, you know,
Meera placed that shawl outside my house intentionally.
I know that. - Jhende, Meera shouldn't have done this.
Many people shouldn't have done many things.
What do you mean? - You noticed what Meera did.
But you didn't notice why she did that.
I know that.
Meera thinks she is not important to me.
And she is right.
You seem to have forgotten her since Anu came into your life.
Jhende, you and Meera are mistaken.
I haven't forgotten anything.
You are right. One needs to remember things first.
But these days, you don't remember anything except for Anu.
You don't even remember where you are, who is around you
and that your actions can lead them to gossip about you.
What are you talking about?
Yesterday...
When Anu felt dizzy and fell unconscious,
what did you do?
You carried her in your arms and left.
'What happened to her? She won't come around.'
'I need to take her to the hospital.'
You didn't think you were in the office and the staff was around you.
Do you know what they were saying after you left?
'I can't believe it.'
'How can he carry a girl in his arms?'
No.
How would you know that?
You don't even know that Meera silenced the people
who were gossiping about you.
'If I hear anyone talking against Arya again,'
'they will get their termination letter right away.'
'Am I clear? - Yes, ma'am.'
'Get back to work, everyone.'
Remember one thing, Arya.
Everyone is sweet to you to your face.
But the one who supports you in your absence is your real companion.
Such people care about us in the true sense.
What do they ask for? Just a little attention.
Do you think I don't give attention to Meera?
Yes, you do. But attending meetings
and discussing the projects does not mean giving attention.
You give her attention as this company's VP.
But you don't give her attention as your friend.
And she did all this to draw your attention.
Jhende, I don't have a problem with Meera's expectations, but actions.
You might not have noticed it. But I have noticed many times
that she tries to demean Anu.
And why did she place that shawl outside my house?
Jhende, I don't expect all this from a smart and talented girl like her.
But she still did that, right? Did you wonder why?
You tell everyone about your feelings.
You should also learn to respect other people's feelings.
You say you are helpless.
But you should also try to understand others' helplessness.
What are you trying to say? - That...
Meera did this to draw your attention.
What if she takes a big step to draw your attention again?
Remember one thing, Arya. When people who stand by us
turn against us, it can shake the ground beneath our feet.
Emotionally driven people
can be more dangerous than practical people.
So, don't push Meera to that point.
Make sure she doesn't have to cross that limit.
It is not easy to discard Anu from Arya's life.
But I am not used to taking up easy tasks, either.
You gave up. But I won't give up so easily.
So what if we couldn't throw Anu out of Arya's life?
Arya can do that, right?
Now, I will create such a situation
that Arya will have to ask Anu to resign from her post.
Harsh, open the door and go inside.
Mansi!
Mother, please.
Harsh! - Harsh!
