Permanent Roommates

Yeah. Tell me.

So, the candles are lit.

Hmm.

The smell of jasmine has spread everywhere.

And I am really tired. So, I am in a hot tub.

Are you in a spa or something?

No, Mickey. I am at home.

All alone.

Uh, one minute.

Tanu, we don't even have a bucket big enough for you to sit in it

let alone a bathtub. So, how will it work?

Just imagine, Mickey.

Okay. So, we are doing that. Imagine. Right.

Go on with the story.

Story?

Are you expecting a story, Mickey?

I mean get ahead with the situation. Don't break the flow.

So, I am in the hot tub.

-And the water is so nice. -Tanu, one minute. I am getting a call.

-Don't pick it up. -It's mom.

Mikesh, I don't want to imagine anyone's parents right now. What are you doing?

Okay.

So, I am in the hot tub.

-And... -One minute.

Yes, mom. We are doing a roleplay.

Are you fine?

I am absolutely fine. I will call you later. Okay. Bye.

Yeah. Please continue.

Hello?

-Tanu? -Mikesh.

How could you... And why did you tell mom what we are doing?

Mom won't understand what roleplay means.

Do you know your parents never did a roleplay?

My parents? Tanu, no one drags the matter at my place. They talk directly.

-Oh, how nice. So, it's like that, huh? -No.

-I won't get insulted anymore. -Hey.

Mickey, it's our anniversary.

So, I thought I'll do something special but now, you forget it.

Listen to me at least. You get too carried away.

Let's try one more time, please.

One last time.

Hmm. This is nice.

Why were you in the bathtub when we have this?

I am a champion in the dice game.

Huh. I scored more than you.

Um, rub chocolate on your partner's chest and lick it.

Oh.

But we don't have chocolate right now.

-Can I use kulfi instead? -I love kulfi.

But my chest is hairy. The kulfi will become falooda.

-Okay, fine. Then do that to me... -No, you will catch a cold.

Then your nose will start running.

Let me take the kulfi out and keep it in a vessel.

It will melt completely and then we can use it to play.

Till then we can keep rolling the dice.

We will note down the activities we get.

Then we can do all of them at once.

But, Mickey, it will be so weird.

We are writing down the activities but aren't doing anything.

Tanu.

I have a better idea.

Yes.

Yes.

Tanu, I won phenomenally.

I never won such a close game before.

Just like no one can score 100 out of 100 in Hindi,

I never score one in Ludo.

That was amazing.

I had a lot of fun.

Oh, man.

Amazing.

What a night.

-Mickey. -Hmm.

So, that board game.

Do you want to do what was written there?

No. Let's not do all that right now.

Dude, the high of winning,

we won't be able to beat that.

I am feeling good.

But I am not feeling good, Mickey.

Tanu, that's because you lost.

That's why you are feeling good.

We will play again tomorrow.

Let's hope that you win.

Then you will feel good.

Happy anniversary.

Same to you.

Good morning, Suresh.

Good morning, madam.

Cappuccino for you.

-And Muufin. -Muffin?

Happy anniversary, Tanya madam.

-Mikesh? -Have it.

-I will have it. -Please have it.

I will have it.

Madam, please pick it up.

Please.

There is a hint in this chit

about Mikesh's next gift for you. Please have a look.

Please read it. How will you know otherwise?

It has a hint as well.

Please read it or...

Hey. There is a hint there as well. What is this?

You found everything on your own.

I don't need any hints to know where Mikesh will hide the gifts.

So, shall I leave?

Thank you, Suresh.

Guys, also, there is news. Shraddha is going to Germany.

You did it, Shraddha! Congratulations!

Hey, wait a minute.

Please buy a cake for the kids.

It's my anniversary today.

I know, sir. You have been saying it for the past three days.

I hope you have packed okra in the tiffin.

Yes, sir. You have been saying that as well for the past three days.

-Mikesh. -Hey, once again?

It's not in our hands after getting married.

No. It's good news.

Today is an auspicious day. It's my anniversary.

-Really? Congratulations, sir. -Have sweets.

-Yes. Thank you. -Thank you.

Sudarshan, hold your horses.

You have got out of control. Restrain yourself.

-Let's go. -Mikesh.

-Yes. -Did you not book it today?

Did I not book it?

Then how did you come?

Well, that's okay. You can pay cash today.

Okay. I will pay in cash.

One second.

I will see to that. I will call you back.

What's up, gorgeous? Hello?

Have a look at the WearHive presentation.

We are presenting that together post-lunch.

And yeah. I hate you.

-Tanya, can we talk? -Nope.

Tanya, at least listen to me.

Babe, I have such a sentimental reason for not telling you.

You will feel bad about it.

Really?

Please tell me.

Please tell me what's the reason that you are suddenly going to Germany

and I am getting to know about it from the office group.

It's not sudden.

Arjun and I have been discussing this for the past two years.

So...

Shraddha, why are you telling me now?

You could have gone to Germany and posted me a letter.

Tanya, we thought we will first have a child

and then move there.

But nothing happened.

There was a delay as well.

Out of nowhere, they offered me the role in Germany.

I couldn't say no.

Don't give me that look.

What look?

As if you never thought about going abroad. Right?

No. I like it here.

You know, if an international company had seen your hard work,

they would have made you the VP.

Yeah. Okay.

But Mikesh and I are happy here.

Arjun and I don't see a future here.

And think about it. Your parents and mine also migrated, right?

From a small town to a big city.

The only difference is that they couldn't think past a big city in India.

You and I are global citizens.

We can fly.

And why am I telling you this?

Mikesh stayed abroad.

Don't you all discuss such things?

Think about it, babe!

And don't make me feel guilty about it.

You should feel guilty about not going.

Before I forget this, happy anniversary, baby.

Yeah. Even if you do forget, Mikesh will remind you.

He is so cute.

He puts so much effort to make you feel special.

When Mikesh does all this,

I feel the pressure of how I should reciprocate instead of feeling special.

Well, come on, Ms. Germany.

-Some Indians are waiting for you in the conference room. -Let's go.

In the meantime, I...

Sorry. I have to take this.

Hey, Tanu, what are you doing?

Mickey, I am in a meeting.

I am downstairs. Come down quickly.

What part of I am in a meeting you don't understand, Mickey?

Just tell them Mikesh is here. It's a surprise.

Come! I am waiting.

Oh God. I will take an hour.

An hour?

What will I do here for an hour?

Listen. I have some work. Please do that for me.

I'm not benefiting enough from being friends

with my father-in-law as much as him.

Sir, I will charge extra for this.

Take your glasses off. We could have fallen out of the window.

He needs extra money.

He got married twice but he can't carry the gas cylinder.
