Its close-by.

Are you feeling better now?

Is this your first visit to Kolkata?

Yes.

Entire Kolkata is getting

ready for the Puja, right.

So you know about 'Durga Puja'?

I have a Bengali husband remember..

By the way, your name Vidya is

also a very common Bengali name.

Vidya.

I know.

Courtesy Mr. Chatterjee.

By the way, why do they call you Rana?

Your name.. The name

tag reads Satyoki.

In Kolkata everyone has two names.

One is 'Dak' name, which is

pet name like mine is Rana.

And the other is

'Bhalo' name, official name.

Satyoki.

But everyone

addresses me by my pet name.

Interesting. Two names

for the same person.

Two identities.

Satyoki. Arjun's charioteer.

Guesthouse?

Have we reached the hotel?

Mrs. Bagchi, this

doesn't look like a hotel.

Are you sure this is the place?

That's the address.

Why would your husband stay here?

I don't know.

Come.

Good evening. Are

you the manager here?

Yes.

I am Vidya Bagchi. I had

called you from London..

..about my husband Arnab.

Yes, yes. Arnab Bagchi.

Your Majesty, you..

Look, I am not the queen.

You can call me Vidya.

Bidya madam, when you

called from London..

..I told you that your

husband wasn't staying here.

The situation is

still the same. Arnab..

You've been saying

that all the while..

..and that's exactly why I came here.

I know this because he would

talk to me everyday from right here.

Sir, please explain to her..

Wait, wait.

Mrs. Bagchi, maybe

there's a confusion.

There's absolutely no confusion.

Arnab was staying here.

This man is lying.

Show me your records.

Register. Get the register.

This.

Are these your records?

Yes.

Don't you have a computer?

Computer?

Madam, only 5-star

hotels have computers.

This is a guesthouse.

0-star.

Arnab stayed here

and I can prove that.

If you walk towards the lift..

..there's a peacock statue there.

Arnab used to say that..

..The peacock of Tamil Nadu

has followed me here too.

Which way is the lift?

That way.

Is it or not?

There is.

Then?

There is a peacock.

But your husband isn't here.

I mean, he wasn't.

You think this is a joke?

The peacock's really there.

But how do you know?

Exactly.

If Arnab didn't tell me

about it, then how do I know?

I don't know why everyone's lying.

What, sir? Talk to me.

Arnab wasn't staying here, right?

But I will.

I will stay in room no.15.

Mrs. Bagchi, are you sure.

I am absolutely sure.

Will you give me the key?

Sign here.

Here?

My dear wife, Why are

you standing at the door?

You are so late

I've been waiting for so long

even your phone was unreachable.

And what if I hadn't returned?

Then I would've kept waiting..

It started raining suddenly.
