It Happened In Calcutta (2020) s01e05 Episode Script

It must have been Love

[Title Montage]
[Ronobir] Kusum.
Come on, sweetheart.
[Kusum] You want to kill this baby?
Are you
You are a doctor, right?
[Ronobir] It is not a baby yet.
For God's sake,
it is not even the size of a seed.
What do you think?
Life is going to be
the same after a baby?
Huh?
Everything changes
after you have a baby.
Everything will be fine. You
We will get married.
And what about studying medicine?
[Ronobir] How will you do that?
Will you come to college with
a baby in one hand
and book in another?
We will manage it together.
Kusum, my love.
You are not thinking this through.
You wanted to prove
a few people wrong.
The people who think it's a mistake
to give a medical seat to a woman.
They assume that girls get married
and throw their degrees away.
[Ronobir] And what
about your mother?
What about her?
Mom, forget your dreams.
Because now suddenly,
I have new dreams.
Our circumstances
are different, Ronobir.
Nothing is different.
[Ronobir] Kusum, I have dreams.
I have to go to London.
Practice medicine there.
Kusum.
[Ronobir] There is a
place for you in my dreams.
But not for a baby.
We can't have kids.
- Later.
- Later.
You have four years
to complete your studies.
[Ronobir] And I too
have to go to London.
I have to struggle.
I want to get established.
When you become a doctor,
you will come to me.
We will work together in London.
We will have a
secured and bright future.
[Ronobir] A beautiful home.
We will be so happy.
And a beautiful baby
in that beautiful house.
I always wanted a daughter.
Just like you.
[Music playing]
[Ronobir] To say goodbye
to all my stress and worries,
I had to cross this last hurdle.
Thankfully.
I knew a fool who could
do it in a blink of an eye.
Things we do for love.
[Ratan] We have
to be careful in the village.
Half of Arunachal Pradesh
is covered.
Ratan.
[Kusum] Listen.
I want to talk to you.
[Door opens]
[Kusum] Ratan,
we want to tell you something.
You are with him again?
- What's going on?
- Buddy, that's not important here.
Listen.
I just Just know that
It just happened, okay?
It just happened.
What happened?
You had helped Sharmila earlier.
You know.
I need your help.
[Ratan] You fking bastard.
[Kusum] Leave him. Calm down.
- [Ratan] Talk to him
- Leave him.
- Calm down.
- Leave him. Stop it.
[Ratan] Kusum, you don't know him.
He uses girls from good families.
He has no fking respect.
Stop it, Ratan. Stop it!
You are not my bodyguard.
You are my friend.
Stop it.
We need your help, Ratan.
[Ronobir] Don't leave us
alone in this.
Just fking shut up.
This is not right.
[Kusum] Everything is fine.
One day, we are going
to get married
- and we've planned everything.
- [Ratan] Married?
Very good.
Is he going to marry you?
Yes. Ronobir and I
will go to London together.
We will make a life, Ratan.
[Ratan] What about aunty?
Does she know about
your plan to go to London?
Huh?
[Ronobir] It can't
be done without you.
I can't do this alone. Please.
- Please.
- [Ratan] So what do you want?
That I abort Kusum's child?
What were you thinking, Kusum?
Ratan.
Ratan, please.
Look at me. For once. Please.
Let me know the time and place.
Kusum.
He will surely do it for you.
Let's go.
[Madhu] I don't understand
why do you need
to go for group studies
and stay there at night.
You won't understand, mom.
Mom.
When father left you
and went away
and you were pregnant with me,
what was going on in your mind?
[Madhu] When I saw
you for the first time.
You were tiny.
And I fell in
love with you, my baby.
[Song playing]
[Ronobir] As I said.
I have a very strong
convincing power.
Poor Kusum.
You have to abort the fetus
right away.
Do you understand?
[Song playing]
[Kusum] Ronobir must be on his way.
[Subhodini] Kusum,
we can't wait anymore.
Five to ten minutes more.
Please.
Fine.
It is the last day of college.
[Subhodini] Then
hostel will be closed.
You will need to take
a lot of rest after this.
Please don't take this risk.
You have to go home.
Without Ronobir
I am here.
Shubho is here. We will take care.
- Come.
- Come.
[Ronobir] Kusum,
what are you doing?
Why do you still have hope?
The fairytale which
I narrated to you.
That was a joke, baby.
In real life, Prince Charming run
away from such hopes of girls.
But you.
I thought you were intelligent.
So you know what?
Come out of the world
of hope and dream.
Or they will pull you
into darkness.
And in that darkness
you will realise this
that first love always ends up
breaking your heart.
Ronobir.
Ronobir.
Is it over?
Everything is fine.
[Ratan] You just need to rest now.
Why did he not come?
Did he come?
He has just left, right?
[Subhodini] Kusum.
Go to sleep. You need to take rest.
[Kusum] Ronobir.
He will come.
[Ratan] I will bring him.
Please take rest.
Surgery is just done.
The stitches would be affected.
Right now, I am worried about you.
Honestly, I don't care where
the irresponsible piece of shit is.
He did not think it was important.
He was there for Sharmila.
But for his own baby.
For me.
Look, Kusum.
[Subhodini] Kusum.
[Kusum] Take me to Ronobir
right now.
Rono, Bourbon.
[Ronobir] I am already late, dad.
You are leaving so early?
You still have four
hours for the flight.
[Ronobir] There isn't any flight
for London for the next four days.
I don't want to take
a risk in Calcutta's traffic.
But what is the hurry?
Papa, come on.
There is a month left
for the semester to begin.
Tickets have been booked.
I will buy new tickets, Rono.
[Ronobir's father] Darling, come
with your parents
to spend a mini holiday
before leaving for London.
Papa, I
I want to start my life.
I want to look to my future.
I don't even know whether
that house belongs to us or not.
Why should I waste my time
for that?
What are you escaping from, Rono?
I am running towards
something new, papa.
My new life is waiting for me.
Okay, fine.
Will you have a
drink with your papa?
[Sighs]
Of course, papa.
[Ronobir] One last drink
before I leave.
Last drink.
[Ronobir's Father]
Have you ever thought
what you will do
by studying in London?
Doctors are needed
here in our country.
Won't you treat your own people?
Papa, the life there is different.
[Ronobir's Father]
You will learn from here
and be a slave
of the Britishers?
[Ronobir] You know mother
is right about you.
You are stuck in another era.
It's been fifteen years
since we got independence.
Priorities.
Change your priorities.
Rono, my priorities
has always been your mother.
[Ronobir's Father]
We both had accepted
our differences much earlier.
Maybe you don't know.
- But I really love her a lot.
- Oh, good for you.
This habit of making someone
else's life your own mission
Look at me.
I can't do it.
Rono, you are unable to see it now.
[Ronobir's Father] Maybe I wasn't
able to teach you.
But life will teach you
what is important in life.
One heartbreak.
One bad news.
Loss of control once in life
will teach you.
Rono, life will turn upside down.
Life is a struggle.
But life will teach you
where I failed.
[Ronobir] Bless me, papa.
Don't scare me.
[Ronobir's Father] Rono,
I am not scaring you.
I am trying to teach you.
I will wait for the time when we
both have a drink together.
Cheers to that, dad.
[Music playing]
[Song playing]
[Trunk door closes]
- [Car door opens]
- [Ronobir] So Kusum, my darling.
Your knight in shining
armour was absconding.
He did not have the time
to think about you.
I don't know what you felt
at that point of time.
But I am a little curious.
Is it really painful?
Like physical?
Does it make a sound when
the heart breaks?
I still hadn't learnt it yet.
But you,
two deaths happened
for you that day.
One life that was
growing inside you
and the other whom
you had given your heart to.
All was lost for you, Kusum.
I had broken your heart completely.
As soon as I sat in the taxi,
how did I feel?
Remorse?
No. Guilt?
Absolutely not.
- Relief?
- Hurry up.
[Ronobir] Yes.
I can't miss my flight to London.
[Ronobir] Because I had
already started my journey.
There was nobody to stop me.
I was free.
London was waiting for me.
Kusum baby, your foolishness
was your problem.
Hey, you did not even
learn anything from your mother.
I wish, you had learnt.
Then you would not
have been shattered.
