Mummy. - Hmm.

Mummy.

I am going to my friend's house. - Okay.

Whose letter is that?

It's Amit. He is coming from Bangalore to attend an interview.

Amit?

Yes, child.

The same boy.. with whom you used to fight in your childhood..

..and create a ruckus in the house.

Oh, that Dabboo.

Yes, dear. That Dabboo.

Who is the relative of your mother's another relative.

Not the relative of your mother's another relative!

He is my first aunt's brother-in-law's first nephew.

Yes, yes. I know that, mummy.

The same one, isn't it? The one you want me to marry.

So, what's wrong with that?

He's young, handsome.

He's educated and belongs to my ancestral family.

And he is such a decent boy even in these modern times.

Okay, okay, mummy.

First tell me, what's written in this letter.

He has written that he is coming to Bombay to attend an interview.

And that he will stay with us for some days.

He has written that 'How can I forget..

..that I spent my childhood days with you'll?'

"And this is your love that is compelling me to come to Bombay.'

That's funny! If it's our love that is compelling him to come to Bombay..

..then what is the necessity of this interview letter.

He can come at any time.

And he has written, 'I remember Anu a lot.'

'But by now, she must have forgotten me.'

Hah! Forgotten me!

How can I forget him?

Remember, in our childhood. I have beaten him up so many times.

Oh, oh. But don't do this from now on.

Because, one reason is that he is your mother's closest relative.

And secondly, you are a grown up too.

He must have also grown up.

He definitely will not be a little boy still.

Naughty girl!

All those childhood memories,

I have held in my heart like this photo.

It's been eight years since I saw you.

And each and every moments of these eight years..

..I have been restless and eager to meet you.

You can never imagine.

But now, I am coming there.

Under the pretext of an Interview.

So that I can meet you.

Then I will confess all my heart's longings to you.

Mummy!

What happened?

Anu, child. What happened?

Why did you scream?

Are you all right?

Mummy, I just had a dream.

A trident. And the lightning striking it.

I was scared and I woke up.

You don't need to be scared of a dream.

And where is the lightning?

Look outside.

The sky is so clear.

The stars are shining.

And then, a dream is just that.. a dream.

It's not real, isn't it?

I don't know, papa.

I sometimes feel that this dream is just not only a dream.

But it is a reality.

Hello

Have you repaired the phone?

Pardon?

I asked you, 'Have you repaired the phone?'

I .. the phone.

Oh, son. It's you.

You have arrived?

No, I haven't arrived.

In fact, I feel that I should go back.

And have a dip in the Ganges river.

Then maybe, my entry here will be perfect.

Why are you talking like this?

I am sure Anu has misbehaved with you.

Anu, did you not recognize Dabboo?

Not recognized him? Of course, I recognized him.

And still you were pretending likewise?

Despite knowing that.

This is your first aunt's brother-in-law's first nephew.

That only, is not my introduction, Anu.

I have another introduction also.

I am your childhood friend too.

Today after so many years, life has brought us together again.

I am so happy, you can't even imagine.

In my heartbeats, there are so many desires present.

Really? Let us also look at this trailer of your dreams. - Why not?

A vast and beautiful place.

Green meadows, snow capped mountains.

And in this same place, like a gem tucked in a ring.

A beautiful and tiny house.

And are staying in it, you and me.

No consciousness of the day and no knowledge of the night.

That's all.

But there is one thing.

What do we name this tiny house?

What do we name it, Anu?

Anu! - What happened?

What did you say?

I asked you, 'What do we name our house?'

Which house?

This is too much!

I told you about all my dreams in one breath.

And you.. you didn't hear anything.

I am sorry, Amit.

But I don't know, I sometimes get lost in thoughts.

Oh, so you have this illness.

But, never mind.

I have come here now.

And I will never let you get lost like that.

Oh, great. Now that Dabboo's come, the food is really tasty.

But look here. For whom this food has been cooked..

..he is ready to pack up.

Hey, what happened? Have you had enough?

Dabboo, son. Have some more.

Enough, aunty. I am full.

Today, I had some heavy refreshments outside. So, no chance.

The food was really tasty.

But what to do? I am really not hungry.

Please excuse me.

Okay, okay. But I will have some more.

My stomach is not yet full.

So, how is he?

How is he? - He's okay.

Do you know, daughter?

Your mother is planning something for you and Dabboo.

Actually, what she wants, is for you both to see each other..

..understand each other.

So that she can take things forward.

Oh, so this is the matter.

Any problem?

Hmm, haven't thought about it.

But I have decided.

That on Anu's birthday we will have her engagement ceremony with Amit.

And next year, we will get you'll married.

Aunty is really great.

Long live aunty.

The desire that I had in my mind before coming to Bombay..

..will be now fulfilled.

Anu will be mine.

Forever.

Here. - Do you know?

Yesterday night, I couldn't sleep. - Why?

Due to happiness.

What happiness?

Don't pretend as if you don't know, Anu.

Yesterday night, I heard everything.

Our dreams and desires.

Uncle and aunty have given their permission for their fulfilment.

So now, we will not waste any time between engagement and marriage.

I am so happy.

Hey, have patience, Amit.

Patience?

I can't wait any longer, Anu.

This journey from my childhood to youth, I have been very restless.

If only you had some regard for these feelings.

Why wouldn't I have regard for your feelings, Amit?

All those childhood memories are still very fresh in my heart.

If that is true, then why this tantalization?

Come, Anu.

Today let's be so close, that we will forget this world, itself.

What's this, Anu?

However much I attempt to draw you closer..

..you always run away from me.

What is the matter?

Is there any shortcoming in my love for you?
