- This looks good, right? - Not bad.
Get that one, please.
Sister.
I want a sari.
Please ask there.
That will not work. You do it, please.
- This one? - The color suits her.
Get that one too.
Drape this one and show me.
Will you make me lose my job as well?
I'm trying. Good jobs are hard to find.
I didn't say you weren't trying.
Don't complain if someone else marries me.
Then I'll teach him a lesson.
Yeah, right!
I come here, looking for some peace of mind.
Now you're on my case too!
Isn't this the one you liked, sir?
Super.
Is it?
Want to know the price, sir?
No.
No plan to buy this for me, right?
- Put it back. - Done.
Leave.
Smile, please.
A bit more.
Okay.
Please sit next to her.
- Is this okay? - Yeah, okay.
A bit closer, please.
Fine. Now place your hand over her shoulder.
Shall I?
Now hold her hand with your other hand.
Now, can you look at each other?
Hold that pose. Both of you, please smile.
Why are you crying?
She's my daughter too.
I'll look after her well.
Do visit us after four days, okay?
- Bye, Leelamma. - Okay.
Bye, dear.
Dear.
Go and buy my medicines.
We'll leave soon after we see the doctor.
Let's buy these with his medicines, Mom.
We don't know those yet.
Buy these for now.
- Thomaskutty. - Yes. Come.
Come.
Matthew, 90 rupees.
- Leelamma. 600 rupees. - Yes?
Here.
- Do you have change? - No, I don't.
Can you get change?
Let me check.
It's 600 rupees.
Are you well?
How's your mom?
She's fine.
Anju.
Can I call you once in a while?
Oh no, no. Please wait.
Stay.
Slowly.
She won't run away with your dad's watch.
Take it off.
Dear, it's that girl.
Hello.
I'll call you later.
No, I'll check and call.
Tell me if it's too hot.
Is this okay?
Mom!
Mom.
I'm coming.
Mom.
What happened? What's wrong, dear?
Get his medicine!
- Hold him, Mom. - Yes, yes.
- Hold him. - Take the medicine.
You'll be fine, son.
Give it to me.
Son, get up slowly.
Slowly.
Open your mouth.
Open it.
Lay him back, dear. Slowly.
No. No.
Mom!
Pain has reduced, Mom.
Thomaskutty has slept.
Lord!
Please go to bed, Mom.
You go to bed, dear.
Let me sit here for a bit.
He gets these bouts sometimes, right?
Why are you so worried?
What do I need to worry about?
I wanted to study medicine.
Had good grades in school.
But my parents didn't allow it.
At 19, they got me married.
Sheba was born when I was 21,
and Thomaskutty, when I was 23.
Then on, my husband and children were my world.
This house was so lively.
They were such a noisy lot!
And then, when the children were both in college,
it was during a monsoon like this
that my husband passed away suddenly.
After that, it was just my children and me.
I brought them up well.
Once Sheba was married,
she had time only for her family.
My son and I were alone here.
Now I feel,
the Lord is jealous of my happiness.
Now, my son too…
He's suffering so much.
If something happens to him,
I'll be no more.
Mom.
Don't worry like this.
You'll fall ill, Mom.
Lord!
One more.
Done…
It's fine.
When your mom brings medicine, take it without fuss.
I will be back before evening.
Should you go today, dear? It's going to rain.
What else?
Water may rise any time, Mom.
- Have you eaten? - No. It's time for the boat.
It's okay. Sit down and have some food.
- Here. - Just one, please.
Can't we just ask Sathyan to buy the medicine?
That won't do.
Need anything else, Mom?
No.
If I do, I'll ask Sathyan.
Or else, you'll have to carry that as well.
Here.
- Have one more. - No, Mom. Don't have time.
Eat slowly.
Where's the list of medicines, Mom?
It's inside the shelf in my room.
Leave it there and go.
Leave it here.
I'll be back soon. Bye.
Dear, Not that one.
You don't know. I'll get it for you.
There was a paper in this. Yes, take it.
- This one? - Yes.
Alright, Mom.
The boat is leaving. Hurry up.
Don't leave! Please stop for me.
Twenty-five rupees.
Get on fast.
Get on.
"Rajeev…"
Name, Rajeev.
Age, 34.
Sex?
Hey, which is it?
- You don't know? - Go make tea.
Driver's license…
Your address?
Which address should I give?
Rajeev.
Which address should I mention?
Want some duck curry?
This isn't a joke.
This is a new item. Duck Mappas.
Fill it yourself, then.
I'm trying to set up a food truck. Don't have time for a job now.
That's what you always say.
Okay then. Give this address.
What else to do?
I have to find a good house and bring my mom along.
Won't you take me along?
Without you, how will it ever become a home?
I want this every day.
So you don't plan to cook?
Kuttanad is flooded due to heavy rains.
The rains seem to be getting heavier even now.
Schools and houses in low-lying areas are under water.
The main roads are waterlogged, causing traffic blocks.
If this heavy downpour continues, life here will get more challenging.
Even now, people are planning to evacuate from their homes to relief camps.
Son.
Should we stay here during this flood?
Shall we go stay at Sheba's for a few days?
- No, Mom. - What did you say?
- Let's stay here. - If you don't want to, no need.
But give it some thought.
Dear, check if it's time for his checkup.
