What will happen to me?
Arya has just gone.
But I'm missing him terribly.
'Anu, this is my favourite sweater.'
'Because it has the warmth of your emotions.'
'Whenever I go away, you miss me so much.'
'That's why I'm giving it to you.'
'So whenever you see it, you'll feel as if I'm right beside you.'
I miss you, sir.
"When I found you, I knew I was"
"embarking upon a journey of a lifetime."
"Our story will be remembered forever."
"The sky seems to bow in front of you"
"out of adoration."
"My journey begins"
"and ends with you."
"It begins and ends with you."
You were absolutely right, sir.
It doesn't feel as though
you're far away from me.
It feels as if
you're here, close to me.
As if you're in the warmth of this sweater.
In the light tinkle of my anklets.
In the breeze that brushes my face.
In my heartbeat.
It begins racing the moment I hear your name.
In the moonlight of this night,
and in the distant sounds
drifting from the temple,
in the ringing of the bells...
Everywhere, it's only you, sir.
Sir, you'll have a long, long life.
Hello? - Hello, Anu.
Have you reached home? - Yes, sir.
And have you left for London?
Yes, I'm in the car now.
If you miss me, you know what to do, right?
Yes, sir. I remember it very well.
And if not sir, then at least his sweater.
Sir, I'm going to miss you so much.
You'll miss me a little, too, won't you?
Yes... Perhaps a little.
A little?
Really?
Sir, I don't like this habit of yours.
When will you learn to say what you truly feel?
I'll have to take lessons from you.
Lessons? Good idea.
When will you start?
I've got my whole life ahead.
What do you mean by that?
Nothing. - But, sir...
Forget it all.
Do you remember the responsibilities I gave you?
Yes, sir. I remember them all very clearly.
Don't worry. Everything will be alright.
Good.
One more thing...
Mom wants to speak to you.
I'm sending you her number. Give her a call.
She wants to talk...
But, sir... Sir, I...
Sir, I'll manage it. There won't be any trouble, sir. I...
But all of a sudden... How...
Why? Are you feeling nervous?
Yes, I'm a bit nervous.
Sir, not a bit, I'm really nervous.
Speak to mom. All your nervousness will disappear.
Alright.
Okay, sir. I'll talk to her.
Sir, listen. Please look after yourself.
It's very cold there. Don't fall ill.
Otherwise, you'll catch a cold.
A cold?
A cold! I mean you'll become unwell.
I don't know how many new words I'm going to learn from you.
Road party, cold...
But it's alright.
I'll learn. I'll keep learning.
I've got all my life.
What do you mean?
The Goddess says
changes are about to begin.
She will come.
And she'll bring light with her.
When she comes, your lonely home
will glow again.
'As soon as she steps into your house,'
'everything will change.'
Even Appe said the same thing.
Very soon,
happiness is about to enter your home.
Soon, you'll get the sign.
You'll hear her voice.
You'll hear her speak.
Hail the Goddess!
Anu?
What are you wearing?
This looks like a man's sweater.
Where did you get it?
No, mom, it's a boy's...
Sorry, Anu.
I asked him to send a sweater for you.
But he sent a man's sweater by mistake.
Did you give her this sweater?
Yes, aunt. I didn't give Anu a Diwali gift.
So, I thought I'd gift her a sweater.
But they sent a man's one.
But it's fine.
Girls wear men's sweaters these days.
It's trendy. You can keep it.
It suits you.
Uncle, aunt, you haven't left for the wedding yet!
What wedding?
I'll tell you.
'Nowadays, in grand weddings,'
'they specially invite someone who drapes saris.'
'That's why we want you to drape saris'
'for our clients on behalf of our company.'
And you know, your dad will be earning Rs 40,000
for one wedding.
That's brilliant, dad!
People once used to mock this work.
Today, we've found people who value it.
But Anu, I'm feeling hesitant to drape a sari for women.
Why, dad?
You always told me
that no work is small or big.
Just do it with all your heart.
Then everything will turn out well.
That's exactly what I've been telling him.
Alright, we should go now, or we'll be late.
One moment.
Anu, what's the matter? - One moment.
Anu, what's the matter?
Good things ought to start with something sweet.
Here, have some curd and sugar.
All the best. - Yes.
Come on, we'll be late. - Let's go.
All the best.
Thank you, Simran.
You turned up at the perfect time and saved me.
I always save you. - Yes.
But hang on. Isn't this the same sweater
that you gave Arya?
Why is it with you?
Sir gave it back to me.
'Anu, this is my favourite sweater.'
'Because it carries the warmth of your emotions.'
'The company's anniversary is in two days.'
'It's a grand celebration.'
'Anu, I want you to organise the whole event.'
So the romance is in full swing!
Oh, shut up, you crazy girl.
I hope the party preparations go smoothly.
His mother...
I nearly forgot
the most important bit amidst all this.
What is it?
Hello.
Hello, ma'am.
Who is this?
Hello, ma'am. It's me, Anu.
Ma'am?
Can you hear me?
Are you the same Anu
who works in Arya's office?
Yes, ma'am.
How are you, dear?
I'm fine, ma'am.
Sir gave me your number.
He said you wanted to speak to me.
Yes, dear.
I've heard so much about you.
But we've never met.
So I thought I'd speak to you over the phone.
How are the party arrangements coming along?
I've just begun, ma'am.
But it's going well.
I wanted to ask something important.
What sort of gift do you like the most?
So Arya told you about my birthday.
No, dear. You don't need to bring anything.
Ma'am, please tell me what you truly like.
It would make me very happy to gift it to you, I swear.
It's been ages since I thought about my likes and dislikes.
Ma'am, please think for my sake and tell me.
What do you like the most? Please, ma'am. Please.
There was a time
when I was very fond of saris.
You were fond of saris!
Ma'am, I wish I knew how to make one.
I would have crafted a lovely sari just for you.
Yes, ma'am.
I can do one thing.
I'll paint a sari for you.
A beautiful design.
Do you know how to design a sari?
Yes, ma'am.
I've picked up a little from my parents, actually.
And whatever's left, I'll learn from the internet.
Wow! You're very clever.
Thank you, ma'am.
Ma'am, one last question. Sorry.
What's your favourite flower?
Jasmine.
But why do you ask that?
Ma'am, please.
Let there be a bit of a surprise.
I can't reveal everything right now.
Just wait a little longer. You'll know soon enough.
Alright, dear.
It was lovely speaking to you.
Same here.
Do keep in touch. - Okay.
Isn't she lovely?
She's such a sweet girl.
Even though I spoke to her for the first time,
it didn't feel like a first conversation at all.
It felt as though I'd known her for years.
I felt a strange sense of calm.
Almost as if
I were speaking to my own mother.
I can't remember the last time I felt so peaceful.
Perhaps it's been years.
It almost felt as if I were talking to my own daughter.
You look so happy after speaking to your future mother-in-law!
Come on, silly!
Simran, leave all this.
Didn't you hear what happened on the call?
I have to paint the sari myself.
I have little time and so much to do.
So, Simran, you'll have to help me with everything.
Alright, I'll help.
But simply giving the sari won't do.
Sir has trusted you with the entire party.
Have you thought about that?
The party is for his mother.
So everything should be to her liking.
You're right, Simran.
But what do I do?
I don't know what she likes or dislikes.
You could ask sir.
No, I don't want to trouble him
over such small things.
I'll manage on my own.
Alright, if not Arya,
there must be someone else who can help.
'Who...'
There is someone. - Who?
There is someone.
May I come in, sir? - Come in.
Good morning, sir.
Good morning, Anu. What's happened?
Did you need something? - Yes, sir.
Sir has given me the responsibility
for all the arrangements for your mother's birthday.
Wow!
So, how are the preparations going?
They're going well, sir.
But I need your help.
What sort of help?
I want to know all of ma'am's likes and dislikes from you.
For instance, what's her favourite food?
What sort of decoration does she like?
And the little things, too.
This time, I want everything to be to her liking.
You've thought this through quite well.
But honestly, I don't know much about mom's likes and dislikes.
You don't?
Sir, you're her son.
That's exactly why I feel embarrassed.
Mom knows everything about me, my brother,
Mansi,
and even the household staff.
And then there's me. I barely know anything about her.
I've never asked her.
What does she like? What is her favourite dish?
Her favourite holiday?
Her favourite memory... I don't know any of it.
Mom is so selfless. I've never truly paid attention.
I'll speak to mom today.
And I'll tell you everything.
Yes, sir. Thank you so much.
Sir, sorry. One more thing...
Please don't forget to ask ma'am about her favourite colour.
Why? - Actually, I am
painting a sari for her.
If I know her favourite colour,
I can buy the right fabric.
Anu's preparations are going wonderfully.
It seems Meera's plans will fail yet again.
Ma'am, shall I serve dinner?
It's time for your medicines.
No, I don't feel like it now.
But ma'am, your medicines...
Gopi, I told you, I don't feel like it.
Arya, have you reached London?
Yes, mom, I have. Are you alright?
I'm not alright at all.
What happened, mom?
Is your blood pressure high? Or anxiety...
I heard something breaking in that room.
My heart nearly stopped.
I'm terribly anxious, son.
Mom, there is nothing to be afraid of.
Something must have just fallen.
But... - No ifs and buts, mom!
First, have something to eat.
You refused Gopi just now.
How do you know?
Because I know my mother very well.
Mom, did you speak to Anu?
She rang me.
I felt calm after talking to her.
It felt as though I'd known her for years.
Anu is like that, mom.
Every time I speak to her, it feels the same.
I don't know what magic she has.
She makes people her own so quickly.
She didn't just make me her own. She won me over.
And do you know, Arya?
She's painting a sari
with her own hands to gift me.
Yes, so to take that sari from her, you'll have to go to the party.
And for that, you'll need to get better.
And to get better, you'll have to eat.
And after eating, you must take your medicines.
Arya, you...
I can't hide anything from you.
You know your mother so well.
You understand everything without me saying a word.
Mom, please eat.
Alright, I'll eat.
Well done, Anu.
You've already begun trying to win mom's heart.
Ma'am, your medicines.
Thank you.
Mom, how are you feeling now?
I'm alright now.
Mom, if you're feeling better,
I want to ask you something.
About what?
About your likes and dislikes.
What do you like? What is it that you don't like?
Your favourite food? Your favourite place?
Your favourite colour? Your favourite memory?
I want to know everything.
And why do you want to know all this so suddenly?
Actually, mom, someone opened my eyes today.
She made me realise
that my mother knows everything about me,
but I barely know anything about her.
That's why I've decided I'll learn everything about you.
And I'll make up for my mistake.
And...
Who did this good deed?
Anu.
Mom, tell me.
First question.
Your favourite food?
Favourite food?
'Khichdi'. - Okay.
Your favourite... Place?
'Anu, you've begun to change things even before coming to this house.'
'I wonder what it'll be like when you actually come.'
'You'll turn this house into heaven.'
Meera...
What were you thinking of?
Well...
You must be thinking
of how to beat Anu, right?
I know you won't tell me anything.
But I want to tell you something.
What is it? - This morning,
I overheard Harsh and Anu's conversation.
She was asking him about his mom's likes and dislikes.
Why? - So she could arrange
the party for her according to that.
Not only this.
She asked him about her favourite colour.
What? - Yes.
So she could paint a sari for her with her own hands.
I'm quite impressed.
Harsh is impressed as well.
Aunt will be, too.
Meera, Anu is miles ahead of you.
And you've fallen far behind.
You'll keep planning for five years.
And she'll win everyone's hearts.
I'll be off now.
Yes. You're right, Jhende.
It's time to stop thinking and start acting.
And this time, I won't let Anu win.
