My Lover from 20th Century? [HTCS]
The Bungalow in the Outskirts
At Tanaya's home in Kolkata...
Tanaya
Baba, why don't you just trust me?
Tanaya's Dad
Because trusting you on this is going to cost me so much money.
Tanaya
You know that I've always wanted to be a film director, this is my chance.
Tanaya
Everything is perfect, I just need some investment.
Tanaya's Dad
Then find some producers.
Tanaya
I couldn't, that is the very reason I'm asking you for money.
Tanaya
And if I can't arrange some investment in this project within the time, I'll lose everything because everyone who has worked hard and the actors who are making time for this project would feel that their efforts are wasted.
Tanaya
You're a business owner Baba, you know how it feels when people who works for you or under your guidance gets disappointed because you could do nothing for them.
Tanaya's Dad
Okay, fine then.
Tanaya's Dad
I'll invest in your movie.
Tanaya's Dad
But I have one condition. If you can fulfill it, then only I'd invest.
Tanaya
Thank you very much Baba, I'm ready for any condition.
Tanaya's Dad
Very well. You know I've a bungalow in the outskirts of the city?
Tanaya's Dad
You have to sell it.
Tanaya
But you could have done that yourself easily, then why keep this condition?
Tanaya's Dad
I couldn't because there are rumours about it, and hence if you could sell it, I'd invest in your movie.
Tanaya
Be ready to give me the money soon.
The playboy Arindam
Tanaya comes out of her house and gets in her car.
Tanaya
*calls Arindam and puts the phone on speaker*
Arindam
What's up Ms. Tanaya Mukherjee?
Tanaya
Oh, please, not this Arindam.
Arindam
I was just kidding, so what's the news Tanu?
Tanaya
Guess what? Baba finally agreed to give me the money.
Arindam
Really?! That's a good news then.
Tanaya
Yeah, but he has a condition.
Tanaya
I've to sell his bungalow in the outskirts of the city that he couldn't sell himself.
Arindam
Oh, do you need my help?
Tanaya
I don't think so, but I'll call you if I do.
Tanaya
Btw, how's your girlfriend doing?
Arindam
Ahh.. well. We broke up a month ago.
Tanaya
What?! Why didn't you tell me?
Arindam
You were busy with your movie and you know that this relationship wasn't serious either.
Tanaya
We're best friends Arindam.
Tanaya
What number was she again?
Tanaya
The great playboy Arindam *chuckles*
Arindam
You know that I'm just trying to find someone with whom I can spend my whole life with.
Tanaya
*in mind* yet you never considered me in that position
Arindam
You're in your car, right?
Arindam
Where are you heading to?
Tanaya
To my lottery ticket, to that bungalow.
Tanaya
Don't worry, I can take care of everything.
Tanaya
And if I need any help I'll just call you over.
Arindam
Well then, I hope you succeed.
Tanaya then hangs up and drives to the outskirts of the city
It's Haunted?
Tanaya drives through a settlement of some houses before she reached her destination, the rumoured bungalow.
She walks upto the gate and touches the sign board to dust off the dirt.
Tanaya
But Dadu* was born in 1949.
Dadu is a term used to address grandpa.
Tanaya
That means, this house was built before his birth.
Tanaya
Was it made by my Great grandfather?
Tanaya
Anyway, by the looks of the bungalow I don't think I can reside inside it even for the time being.
Tanaya
Let's go to the cottage that Baba told me is in the backyard.
Tanaya
He had people to look after the cottage but couldn't hire anyone to maintain this bungalow.
Tanaya reaches the cottage and meets the caretaker.
The caretaker then handed her the keys over.
Tanaya went straight to her bedroom, got freshened up and sat on her bed.
Tanaya
*rummaging through documents and searching up things on her laptop*
Tanaya
So this bungalow is actually rumoured to be haunted?
Tanaya
There's nothing called ghosts in this world.
Tanaya
I'm gonna prove it to the buyers and sell this house.
After being determined she went to sleep.
