Abhi, what's wrong?
I'm talking to you.
Will you say something?
You've never behaved like this before.
What's wrong, son?
Listen, the principal said that Aryan is quite hurt.
This is unacceptable.
Regardless of reason,
you don't need to be violent.
Rubbish.
Abhi!
He is only capable of doing that.
What you did to Mom.
- Hey, listen... - Wasn't that violence?
- I didn't hurt her on purpose. - I know everything.
Both of you, keep quiet.
We aren't here to discuss that issue.
We're talking about what you did today.
Give me the car keys.
Abhi, sit down. We are still talking.
I don't want hear any of this!
The keys.
Abhi's not like this.
He's never behaved like this before.
These days
might be stressful for him as well, right?
That's bound to happen.
After all, he has to endure a lot.
Listen, you're not understanding the situation.
Of course.
There has to be a girl involved.
Gayatri?
They were getting quite close in the party.
Come on, Akarsh.
Listen, if you want to hurt me,
make me leave the city, then do it!
But I won't let it affect Abhi.
He needs stability.
Either you stay away and let me handle everything
or...
we do this together.
Together, as parents.
Together?
Sure.
Definitely.
Are you okay?
Let me see.
Are you hungry?
Dad wants me to switch schools.
- When did he say that? - In the car.
He was saying that
he's talking to someone about my admission.
He didn't even ask me.
- But why switch schools? - I don't know!
I'll talk to him.
Abhi.
I hope you know that you can tell me anything.
Does Dad know you're here?
Really, Akarsh?
You told him to switch schools?
Can I come inside?
He has studied there all his life. All his friends are there!
How did you take this decision without asking me?
I haven't decided anything.
It was a suggestion for him to think about it.
Why? Why should he think about it?
Okay, fine.
He's already upset.
Right now, he needs our support.
All right! I made a mistake.
I came here to apologise to him.
- I'll tell him. - No, I want to tell him.
Didn't you say
we need to do this together, as parents?
Abhi!
Abhi, wait.
Dad wants to talk to you.
Listen, champ.
We argued unnecessarily.
Because you want me to switch schools.
No, it was just a suggestion.
Because what happened at this school...
Mom said it's not necessary.
Listen, champ. I'm just...
Don't call me champ.
Yeah.
Can we go home and talk?
I don't want to go with you.
He won't speak.
He's upset.
I know him.
Did you ever imagine that
he could hit someone?
No, right?
Perhaps you don't know him as well as you think you do.
The boy needs a father, Meera.
Anyway, I'm running late.
I'll leave.
Akarsh?
Will you have dinner?
This is not your trap, right?
You'll mix something in the food
- and... - What do you think?
Clearly we are enjoying torturing each other.
It's not a trap; it's an effort.
To make everything normal for Abhi.
For him,
I can bear one dinner.
Hey.
No...
At office.
I have work.
Yes, I'll be late.
Okay.
Good night. I'll see you later.
Bye.
Done lying?
The same story begins again.
Is Alia happy?
Yes, she's happy.
- My little child... - She's not a little child.
She must be around 24-25 years old.
I was talking about Ahaana.
Right.
He still hasn't left.
We are having dinner together.
Come here.
Sit.
You
aren't drinking wine?
No, I'm done. You want some?
No.
What?
You generally have it with dinner, right?
Whenever a guest comes home.
Oh.
So, both of you discuss about me?
- Sometimes. - Sometimes.
What? That I drink too much wine?
Not too much, but way too much.
Son, what happened today?
What? Nothing happened.
Nothing?
You hit Aryan.
Your best friend.
And how is Gayatri connected to this?
The two of you seemed quite close at the party.
Tell me.
Aryan...
He likes Gayatri.
He doesn't like it when she comes close to me.
We were sitting.
So, he came and started shouting and hitting.
So, even I...
You should've informed the principal.
Anyway,
we have an appointment with her tomorrow morning.
Will you be there?
Me?
Yeah, of course.
I'm going to sleep.
At least finish your food.
No, Mom. I'm full.
Good night, champ. Oh, sorry. No "champ."
It's okay, Dad.
Good night, Mom.
Good night.
- Oops! - Sorry.
- Sorry. Take this. - No!
Just... Just give me a minute.
Remember the time when we polished this table together,
I had placed a warm cup of tea and there was mark left behind.
It was...
Then...
we used this table to have...
Sex.
What happened?
I should go.
Are you sure?
What?
Really?
This is disgusting, Meera.
Will you stoop so low?
Won't you finish what you started?
I fucking hate you!
Me too.
We're meeting tomorrow, right?
8:30.
At school?
See you.
I came earlier,
but I could
hear noises inside, so...
I had to discuss Abhi's schooling with Akarsh.
Did I ask you anything?
Why the explanation?
Vidyut left?
I hope so.
You're okay?
Yeah. Great.
Young and single again!
You must be feeling strange.
Meera, when you have cancer,
they remove all the tumours from the body
and throw them away
so that they don't spread further.
It's the same with a break-up.
Not even one cell must survive.
But you haven't thrown anything.
We have a child. It's not that easy.
That's not the point!
Seems like you are waiting for him to come back...
It's not that, Ritu.
- You know that. - It is that!
Why do you want to meet him?
One moment, you hate him.
The next moment, you're sharing the bed...
Do you know what's the problem?
You know he will hurt you again.
But you've started enjoying that pain.
By the way,
I'm leaving Coonoor.
What?
Where?
Kolkata.
New place, new beginnings.
It will be good.
You mean, you're...
I'm not coming back.
Are you sure, Ritu?
No.
But I was sure about marriage.
Look what happened though.
You and Akarsh had a good sex life, right?
And you were missing that, right?
This friction between you two,
fighting each other,
hurting each other and then this...
That many times your son will be hurt as well.
He will break a little every time.
The two of you have no clue
how much pain your son endures.
I made a mistake.
How many mistakes, Meera?
Next time you falter, I won't be here.
Not for you
or Abhi.
I have to go back.
Meera?
- Hi. - Hi.
I'm here to meet the principal.
I called you last evening.
I know. I...
I was very tired. I'm sorry.
Why didn't you say so?
I would've come there with my guitar.
Is everything fine?
Yeah.
- Sure? - Absolutely fine, yeah.
- Hi. - Okay, I'll see you in the evening.
I read Abhishek's counselling report.
Anxiety issues, insomnia, nightmares.
There is a lot happening with him.
In such cases, you tend to see anger-management issues.
- Perhaps Abhishek... - But Abhi said that
Aryan started the fight.
No, Dr. Kapoor.
Abhishek started the fight.
In our school,
we have a zero-tolerance policy against violence.
Hence, strict action will be taken.
What action?
Haven't you already decided to switch schools?
- So, why are you even bothered? - Sorry? We...
We are doing no such thing.
But your email begs to differ.
Email?
Haven't you discussed this?
He must have mailed it yesterday.
We spoke, and we've decided that he'll be here.
No. I received the email this morning.
Didn't we discuss this already?
Even then!
High Valley International.
It's a good school.
Do you know how far it is from home?
It's close to my house.
Just shut up!
Don't shout, Abhi.
Why not? Nobody is listening to me.
No one. Not even Mom and Dad.
Don't give their excuse now. You were wrong.
This is bullshit!
The number you have dialled is busy at the moment.
Which tables have you ordered?
- Akarsh! - We had selected already...
- One minute. I'll be back. - Sure, sir.
- Yes, tell me. - Where is Abhi?
- He's not answering his phone. - I don't know.
I checked the café. He's not there.
I've no clue how many people have seen this video.
My clients, colleagues, everyone must have seen it.
Really, Akarsh? Are you worried about that?
We have to find Abhi. Did you call home?
Of course. Alia told me he's not there.
Didn't I say a girl was involved?
It was that Gayatri.
Come on, Akarsh. They're just friends.
Friends?
Meera?
You know nothing about your son.
Of course.
I downloaded these photographs from his phone.
What?
From Abhi's phone?
You're spying on him?
It's not easy being a parent, Meera.
Dr. Kapoor,
your son hides things from you that you have no idea about.
Gayatri.
Where is Abhi?
I don't know, auntie.
I knew you guys fought.
Why did he get so angry?
Please ask him that question.
I saw photos of both of you.
It's okay, dear.
It's okay if you like each other.
I just want to know what's going on with him.
Why is he behaving like that?
He's never behaved like this before.
Please.
I have to know.
That night, at the party,
we were in Abhi's room.
We got close
and I...
I kissed him.
It's okay. Then?
After that, he took me to the garden.
I wanted to kiss him,
but he was getting a bit physical.
I was very uncomfortable.
Maybe I wanted more,
but, at the time,
I just wanted him to stop.
But he grabbed me.
I told him to stop.
I said no so many times, but he wasn't listening to me.
I tried to push him away as well,
but he kept on touching me.
It was...
It's okay.
It was horrible.
And when I screamed,
he left me and moved away,
and then started crying profusely.
And then he ran away.
Have you told anyone?
Just Aryan.
And when he spoke to Abhi, Abhi started hitting him.
Even today, we were trying to explain to Abhi,
but again he just freaked out.
Why didn't you tell me?
Auntie...
I really like Abhi.
He is a very good friend.
And I know he's facing a lot of problems...
That doesn't matter, Gayatri.
Abhi's made a huge mistake.
When you asked him to stop, he should've stopped.
I'm sorry.
I'm sorry, dear.
Tell your mom.
Okay?
She should know.
She has to know.
I'm sorry.
I'm sorry to both of you.
Yes, Ritu?
Yes.
I'm coming.
Meera?
Abhi told me everything.
Why isn't he talking to me?
Come on, Meera. You'd get angry.
Even after we explained it to him?
Abhi!
Meera, there's more.
He knows about last night.
Abhi!
Abhi, listen to me.
Abhi.
I know what happened with Gayatri.
Dad must have told you.
Gayatri told me.
Dad knew about it?
Abhi!
- Abhi, listen to me. - Just leave me alone!
I hate you! I hate both of you!
- I don't want to talk to you. - Abhi?
What's wrong?
Don't talk to your mom like that.
Who are you to interfere?
Who are you? My father?
And speaking of my father,
he was here last night.
Ask her what they did last night.
I have to go.
Akarsh!
Abhi, wait here.
Let your dad come.
Why?
Abhi, wait here. Your dad is coming.
Akarsh!
Why can't I come inside?
I'll handle it. Abhi, come here.
Alia is not letting me in.
Ahaana is inside, and Alia doesn't want...
We don't want you to stay here.
You told her about Gayatri.
Everyone has seen that video. Alia too.
How could I not tell her? You shouldn't have behaved like that.
It's disgusting.
Look, I don't hide anything from Alia.
Everything will be sorted in a day or two.
But for now, you must go.
You had promised me
that till you're here, I won't face any problem.
I know, but...
Can we take this matter inside?
Akarsh, he can't come inside.
- So, this is not my house. - This is Ahaana's house too.
- Is she more important than me? - You made a mistake, right?
Look, Abhi...
- Let me go in. - Don't be stubborn, please.
Abhi, listen... Just listen to me!
What are you doing, Akarsh?
Son, are you okay?
Are you okay?
I'm sorry, champ.
I'm sorry.
You knew about Gayatri.
You told Alia, but you didn't tell me.
I'm his mother!
He...
- knows last night... - What about last night?
Abhi will never forgive you.
- Don't shout, Abhi. - Why not?
Nobody is listening to me! No one!
Not even Mom and Dad.
Don't give their excuse now. You were wrong!
This is bullshit!
Why did you go back to Dad?
You miss your dad,
I miss my husband.
You know how he is, but you still went back.
I did the same.
Sorry.
I never want to meet him again.
- What I did to Gayatri... - Was wrong.
You shouldn't have done it.
She'll will tell everyone in school.
It's possible.
Everyone will hate me.
All my friends.
Abhi,
why did you leave home?
I was so ashamed, Mom.
I couldn't face you.
If you knew the truth,
you would've yelled a lot.
I would've yelled, but we can talk about anything, right?
What happened this time?
Did Dad tell you anything?
He...
He told me
that you are deliberately
keeping me away from him.
I was so confused, so I left home.
Abhi, always remember this.
No matter what
Dad tells you,
I will never kick you out.
Wherever I live...
will always be your home.
I'm a bad person.
I'm so sorry.
I should leave Coonoor.
If I don't live here...
there won't be any problem.
Everyone will be happy.
Both of us should leave.
Your job?
All your friends?
They're all here.
And our house?
You'll be there with me.
Home is where we are together.
Everything will be fine.
I will make it right.
I promise.
Before we leave, there's something I need to do.
