The sight of Meesha lying on the floor alarmed Meesha's mother-in-law. She tried to bring her back to consciousness. She tried calling Tim but in vain.
"Whom should I call? Papa, but he is back home. Manager? No, he must be with Tim. What do I do? What should I do?" she panics.
She sprinkles water on Meesha's face.
"Meesha? Meesha, wake up my child. See, mom is worried. Please, Meesha, open your eyes," says Mom in a thick voice.
The phone rings. Mom looks for the phone. It is on a drawer next to the bed.
"Assistant?" Oh! It might be Meesha's assistant.
She answers the call. The assistant wanted to talk to Meesha, but she asked him to stop by.
Mom rushes to Meesha's side. She finally opens her eyes.
" Are you alright Meesha? You okay, my child," says mom, holding Meesha in her arms.
"Ye-ye. I'm fine," answers Meesha holding back her tears.
Mom takes another look at Meesha.
"You seem to be weak. I told you to look after your health. What was I supposed to do today.
After a short pause mum says, "I could not think of anything." Her voice wavers.
Meesha has many questions in her mind. Nevertheless, given the woman's state, she chooses to hold off.
"Mom? You are my husband's mom,right? asks Meesha.
The woman gives a nod.
The doorbell rang, cutting off their conversation. It was Meesha's assistant.
He came to pick up the script for the next project, but Mom told him to come back tomorrow.
Mom asked him to stop by because she could not help Meesha.
Meesha is now fine, and she does not want anyone to disturb her.

Cut! Okay, pass, the director says.
Tim takes a break in between shots. His manager passes him his phone.
"Your mother called. "Call her back before she comes here raging," the manager jokes.
Tim exits the shooting location to make a phone call. He calls, but her mother does not pick up the phone. He wanted to try again, but he was told to shoot for his next scene.
He leaves a text message asking " why did she call him?
His manager asks if he talked to his mother.
"Why do you want to know," asks Tim.
"You know how much she dislikes people not returning her calls."
'When you did not answer her calls, she scolded me until my eardrums bled," retorts the manager. "I don't want to risk my mental peace again. So better sort this out."
