Karma!

Karma!

Sister! We’re coming, I am starving.

Sorry, madam.

It’s okay, I will pick it up.

I think intermittent fasting is the best. The body needs time to heal.

You can’t keep eating all the time!

Sit.

You spoke about the keto diet the other day

and something else before that... what was it?

I personally think that Bhutanese people are paying too much attention to fitness.

So many gyms have opened up!

There are a lot of ways to stay fit. You just

pick the one that works best for your body.

I know that fitness is important. I really enjoy going to the gym as well.

But I cannot constantly worry about what I am eating and how I am exercising.

I think modifying our delicious Bhutanese cuisine and

eating smaller portions is more than enough to be fit.

Huh? Bhutanese cuisine? That’s not healthy for you at all.

Cholesterol, fats, blood pressure...

I mean, who puts chilli in their body first thing in the morning?

Brother, I think I am pretty fit.

You think you are fit?

Come on brother! Anyway, sister...

Look at you. I like the way you maintain yourself.

Being thin, doesn’t mean one is fit!

Karma needs to tone her body.

Oh! Have you sent out invitations to the guests?

We don’t have much time, until housewarming.

Make sure you wear a nice dress.

What do you call it? Like a brunch gown?

I was thinking of wearing a pretty, full kira…

it's housewarming. Not a wedding!

But your parents will be attending.

Nothing for you to worry about there. They don’t care about these things.

Moreover, my expat guests are invited as well!

But then... that is…

can you wear a dress or not?

Yes. Good.

And sangay, come to the rooftop bar later. Let’s have a few drinks.

Perfect! Sister, you will join us, right?

Karma can’t come. It’s a boys’ night out.

I am going to get dressed.

Don’t make dinner tonight.

I forgot to tell you,

from tomorrow onwards. Use olive oil, while cooking!

It is healthier!

Okay!

I can’t figure out, is he your husband or a child? Sangay!

Look at him! Is there anything he doesn’t know?

Mr know-it-all!

Sangay, don’t say that. Your brother-in-law is smart and intelligent.

And he does know a lot of things.

Sister, there is a difference between, a lot of things and everything.

Think about it! As a brother in-law he's very good...

But as a husband...

Sister... he is a good person... are you happy now?

Anyway, how are the preparations coming along? Is everything ready?

Preparations are going well.

I need to work on the lawn decor, but the food menu is set.

I thought of keeping the theme simple and elegant

and invitations have been sent out.

Who all are invited?

We haven't invited a lot of guests. You know, ugyen does not like crowds.

That’s why I have only invited family, a few cousins,

ugyen and his fathers’ work colleagues,

oh, mom has invited a few friends as well.

Oh, you should invite some of your friends as well?

...and then?

...then what?

Come on! What about your friends? You didn’t mention them at all.

I have you all!

Sister, friends are important.

Sometimes, friends are dearer than family.

Please call them, sister.

You had a lot of close friends before!

Please

for your own sake!

Think about it, okay?

I'll go shower now, see you later

Woooooo! Stop!

We did so well today! We were the best!

No, I fell down and ruined it all!

Awww, menda.

It’s okay, menda. We all joined in and the audience loved it even more!

Tshokey’s ridiculous idea! I thought of killing her for it…

but... I guess it worked!

Why wouldn’t it work? We can’t let her fall alone, we are in this together.

Aww, you guys are the best!

No, we are the best!

We are the best!

We love you, gangnam girls!

They are calling us gangnam girls!

Oh my god! Thank you!

Actually, gangnam girls,

isn’t it such a cool name for our group?

Gangnam girls? Hmm, it’s okay! Works for me.

Oh, I love it!

But you absolutely love everything!

It’s so good.

It is!

Hey! Gangnam girls!

Smile!

What? Where?

Over there!

Hey guys! Let me take a picture!

Say cheese!

Oh my god tshokey! Your camera is amazing!

Are you going to be a photographer in the future?

It’s too early to think about it!

No way! Hardly any time left now, you better decide soon!

Tshokey keeps changing her mind.

What was it before?

An illustrator, a painter, a filmmaker, a fashion designer, and now, a photographer!

There is no certainty, she will keep changing her mind.

Hey come on!

But then, this gift is exquisite!

So, was he hot?

No way. I had to paint a lot and work hard for this camera.

But… he wasn’t too bad!

I knew it would be like this! Was he old? And married?

No way! Do you think I fall for every man I meet?

I had to work hard for that camera. Bought it with my saving.

Not saying everyone, just men over the age of 30. You like them old, don’t you?

You and Tara have it all figured out. You know what you want in life.

I have no idea what I will do with my life.

I don’t see my life being as colorful and fun as tshokey's.

But I do see it clearly.

I see myself in a big office, sitting on a big desk, and working.

In a big company or a bank.

However, I don’t want a single piece of art or painting in my office!

I know you didn’t say that to offend me. I won’t get hurt.

It’s not about you. Its about my father.

Look at his carefree life, surrounded by colours.

My poor mother, married out of her caste, you know she is a chettri?

She is struggling.

That is why I don’t want to marry, ever.

But then l, I think, it’s the hardships, that will shape your future!

But you like it, don't you? Being in control and working hard. Right?

However, our dear Karma, has only one project for herself,

project ugyen

tenzin dorji!

Oh, you guys!

I think you will marry him, kiss him, and have 10 children together!

You’ve always known, that one day, ugyen and I will get married.

I think you can get someone better than him.

You guys are just bias. He is a good person, give him a chance!

He surely talks a lot!

Yes, he does! Kiss him and shut him up sometimes!

Hey, I just realised,

you guys didn’t ask me about my future…

that is because we know you well. You will become, bhutan’s Mother Teresa!

You will serve the people, be kind to them, be a caregiver! You like it, don’t you?

Yes, do you know, that’s a real job?

Serving the society, a social worker!

Moreover, there are many civil society organizations coming up in Bhutan!

I will work for a cso, some day!

But then, I have another job as well! An important job!

What's that?

Gangnam girls manager, ofcourse!

My dear menda! We are not celebrities. We don’t need a manager.

Aww, my sweet khandro menda.

We have to stay together forever. I can’t do anything without you guys.

I can’t even stand up for myself in class.

We will always be together! We will be friends for-

ever!

Hello? Menda?

It’s me, Karma.

Wait for me as you go

we will weave the night into the day

knew you before I knew the world

but it’s hard to recognize you this way

this ground swallows me whole

the clouds say my name

and we will let time do it all

and become the victims of time today

And become the victims of time today.

Oh my god, finally.

Why use a phone, if you don’t want to answer calls?

Why are you wearing gym clothes if you are not going to exercise?

Huh?

Don’t worry. I am not around.

But hey! Dress formal for the office.

Ah, very funny. It’s Sunday so I am alone at the office.

By the way, I hope you know you are getting a loan!

Really!

Thanks to you, menda! And renew microfinance!

Makes it so easy for women like me to be independent!

But I am sure. I am sure the brand tshokey will do very well!

But please, start saving as well!

Stop lecturing me, please.

Hmm, okay.

Hey, leave all this aside for now.

We should all go for karma’s housewarming.

It’s been so long, please. Let’s go.

Exactly. It’s been so long.

I don’t know who and what you are talking about.

Don’t act like you don’t care. You can’t lie to me. I know you in and out.

We are adults now, not children anymore.

I don’t even know why,

is there a reason we should go?

Don’t say that, Karma is trying her best!

I know things went wrong and we are not like before, but then

the bond we shared was extraordinary.

We probably still have that bond.

The gangnam girls story can’t end like this, tshokey!

Tshokey, let’s go. I will come, pick you up.

Okay. Come get me around 11.

What? For real?

And don’t jump.

I am just going for formality.

Thanks, tshokey!

I am predictable, isn't it?

Just a formality!

Okay, sure. Just for formality, I got it, okay!

Wow, its happening for real!

Gangnam girls are coming back, huh!?

I’m hanging up.

Okay, okay

bye

Happy foundation day, madam Tara!

Yes?

I am at work.

Is this about karma’s housewarming?

Yes. I am here, at phuentsholing.

But I am loaded with work. I don’t think I can make it.

I've informed Karma, already.

When will you grow up, menda?

We are not kids anymore, we are adults now.

There are lot other things to worry about in life, than this.

Tshokey!

Hi!

Finally!

You look pretty in a dress, besides gym clothes.

Aw, come on!

You’ve been locked up in your studio. Seeing you, after so long, my dear tshokey!

I am so happy.

Okay, enough now, let’s go! Here, hold this.

Hey, what’s this?

It’s for karma’s house. I sketched it long time ago.

May I see it?

No way! It’s wrapped.

I am not sure, if I want to give it to her.

Hey, make sure you keep this in your car!

Come, let’s go.

Alright! Weird!

Let me help.

Alright!

You are still as crazy as before. You weirdo!

Yup, that’s me. Tshokey the weirdo.

You like that name, don’t you?

Of course! Who wants to be boring, like some people we know?

Here, she goes again. Tshokey, leave all this aside for today.

Instead, let’s enjoy the trip!

Alright! Listen to this song, it’s nice, you will like it. Turn on your Bluetooth.

You are into songs like these now? Oh, you are really something!

Menda...

It feels weird, doesn’t it?

Yes! Thimphu is changing rapidly.

Everytime I drive here, I see a new big building.

And they are always glimmering with lights!

Our world keeps changing so fast!

I am not talking about Thimphu, silly.

I mean, you are right, Thimphu has changed a lot, but I am talking about Karma.

I wonder how I will stay at karma’s house for three enitre days.

I am already regretting it! I wish I hadn’t listened to you!

Chill tshokey, it will be alright!

We’ve been friends since second grade.

I think, we will naturally bond again as soon as we meet.

We will get along well, have fun, think of the past memories and enjoy!

Memories? I don’t want to remember that day!

I don’t want to remember it either.

Even, you didn’t stand up for me.

Tshokey, that’s not fair.

I was neutral. I had no choice.

Neutral? Okay, stay neutral! You are not a car, to remain neutral!

Friends need to be there for each other!

Tshokey…

Tara was really hurt. Or else, she wouldn't have reacted in such a manner!

I was deeply hurt as well!

That night was really bad. What other outcome did you expect?

What did you think, would happen?

Friends are meant to support each other. We

were more than friends. We were like family.

I can’t even think about...

What’s with this stupid car? Go! Fast! Why is it blocking the road?

Tshokey,

don’t worry, okay?

We will have fun. I promise it will be okay.

Alright tshokey?

Hey. Tshokey?

Yes?

We are almost there, aren’t we?

I think so. Where is her house?

I thought you knew.

Grab my phone and call Karma.

Call her.

I would call her but I am worried the traffic police will catch me.

If the policeman is handsome, it’s okay if he stops us.

Oh god, you are too much!

At least, spare the police!

But then again, if the traffic police is handsome, I don’t mind!

Okay, cut it out and call her now!

Okay!

Hello, menda?

Oh, you couldn’t figure out the way?

Yes, we’re lost.

The directions are simple.

Drive straight from the turning,

you will see a big tree, ♪ uh huh

there are only 4 trees in that area. A small

one, two medium-sized ones and a big one

uh huh!

Come straight ahead from there as well and then turn left

yes

you will see a white stupa near to it. Drive straight from there as well.

The road will split in two,

take the right from there. Alright?

Uh huh!

Then you will see a water tank in about 50 meters.

You have to pass the water tank as well.

Then there is a big black stone,

once you pass that you will see a monastery.

And right below the monastery, you will see my house. I will wait for you there.

Karma…

wait a minute.

A stone,

trees,

water tank,

monastery, stupa…

Karma, where in the world do you live?

Karma,

do you have Google map?

Please send it.

Okay, sure!

Okay then. Thank you!

I am never ordering pizza at her place.

Let’s go.

Pizza?

Uh huh!

What for?

Did she ask us to bring pizza?

Doesn’t she have a cook?

This girl… let’s go now.

She has sent us her address.

Yes, let’s go but

didn’t she ask us to bring her pizza?

My sweet menda! Let’s go now.

Okay!

My friends are visiting, we’ve been together since school!

The guest room is ready right?

Everything is ready, madam.

Thank you, shacha.

Finally, we are here.

Look! It’s Karma.

Wow, she is still pretty. Just like before!

She is still pretty. But not exactly like before.

Huh?

Karma! ♪ hi menda!

Hi tshokey. Welcome.

Let’s go, let’s get your luggage in! ♪ alright.

Shacha, can you please get their luggage? Take it to the guest room? ♪ yes, madam.

Let me help.

Wow, you are finally here.

Because of menda, you know I can’t say no to her..

That is true. Nobody can say no to her.

I am glad you are here.

We have a lot to catch up on as well.

Let’s go now. Our luggage is out too.

Yes, let’s go inside.

Wow! I knew ugyen was rich but I didn’t expect him to be this well off!

I agree. It feels different.

Yes and also, doesn’t it feel like a hotel?

That is because Karma has great taste.

You know she always enjoyed home decor and such things.

True but doesn’t it feel a bit like... we’re abroad?

It does not feel like Bhutan.

Anyhow, I think I will have a good vacation for the next three days.

It’ll be much better than you think, you’ll see.

Hmm? ♪ go and see.

Okay, let me see.

Yes?

Madam has requested you to join her for high tea!

Oh, now?

Alright, we will be there. Thank you.

He said madam!

He said tea, with much respect.

And he is inviting you. That’s his job, how do you expect him to talk?

Are you madam?

Madam is inviting you to tea!

Thank you, Karma! This feels so special.

You are welcome. ♪ thank you!

I would have to blindfold you, if you visited my studio.

Don’t say that, tshokey. I would love to be surrounded by your art.

No, really. You have to close your eyes at her place, it is so messy.

Anyway, I am so happy that you guys are finally here.

And I am so sorry about the directions.

It’s time we get proper street names and addresses in Thimphu.

Thank god for “Google rinpoche”. Only a strange

person would be able to follow your directions.

I didn’t understand. I guess I am not a strange person.

Oh and tshokey, Tara is coming too.

Oh! Tara is coming? That’s perfect!

Oh, she is coming?

She said she was coming but don’t worry. She will be in the other guest room.

Karma. Let’s just try and have some fun. There

is no need to remember incidents from ages ago.

Alright. You must be hungry. Please help yourselves.

I was waiting for you to ask! I am starving!

I am starving!

Karma,

how are you?

How is ugyen?

Ugyen is doing good, tshokey.

His business as well!

I am good too.

I am comfortable.

Oh, is that so?

I am happy for you, in that case.

Oh and Karma!

You look so beautiful. Just like before.

If only I had a body like yours.

Yes, sure, try controlling your diet!

But you have changed a little bit.

Remember? Still remember your scooter alike laughter!

Everyone changes with time.

You are just like you were before.

Only thing is, you seem a lot bolder now!

I am very happy!

I didn’t say you weren’t happy.

And yes, I am a lot bolder now.

These cupcakes are so good!

You should try some!

Oh,

I just remembered! I have gifts for you.

Gifts?

What did you bring?

Wait a minute.

This is for you.. And...

Wow tshokey, even the box looks so cute!

And this is for you.

Wow! Thank you!

Wow, is this your brand? “Tsho-key”

yes.

You’ve started it already?

Yes.

Nice, tshokey.

Wow!

White for me!

How did you start?

Thanks to menda

and renew microfinance.

I am so grateful to them!

Wow and you never forget any detail. Pink for me!

It’s so beautiful. You are so talented, tshokey.

Ooh!

The high tea just got better!

Hey! Take a seat, sangay.

Aww, tshokey, my little brother

sangay. Don’t you remember him?

Sangay?

Sangay wangchuk?

Oh!

So the theory is true!

Which theory?

Ugly kids grow up to be attractive adults.

You are not talking about me, are you?

Ofcourse, it's about you!

I am hurt you found me ugly when I was younger.

But happy, you think, I am handsome now!

Hey menda. How are you?

Oh!

You remember me?

Of course!

Who would forget the gangnam girls?

Tshokey,

Tara, menda

and of course, my ashim.

Ashim?

How much younger are you?

Not a lot.

Just two years.

Two years is not a problem.

Oh god, tshokey. Don’t!

Wow, you are attractive and intelligent!

God, tshokey! Stop. He’s my little brother!

Thank god for that! He is not my brother!

Madam, your friend has arrived.

Oh, okay.

Tara is here.

Hi Tara. Welcome.

Tara! I was worried you won’t make it!

I am so glad.

You didn’t even call.

I’m glad you found the place though.

I just followed your directions.

The stupa, the tank and the trees.

Oh Tara.

Do you remember my brother? Sangay wangchuk?

Hi Tara.

Please eat.

Help yourself.

We are having tea. Please sit, Tara.

Tara. Rest a little.

I am tired.

I will rest in the room.

I will join for dinner.

Is that so?

Okay then, shacha, please help take her things to the room.

Bye, Tara.

Please eat.

You are a chef somewhere in shimla or sikkim, right?

Shimla

in shimla?

Can you actually cook?

Delicious, isn't it? Don't ask such a question,

he's a cef by profession!

Did you prepare this? Let me try.

It’s not bad!

Karma, change the music.

Please eat. Feel at home.

How is the food?

I was shocked when Karma said her friends were coming.

I thought Karma had no friends.

I thought Karma had no friends. Apparently she does!

Oh, brother!

These girls used to be really popular back in school.

The gangnam girls, am I right?

Gangnam girls

yes.

Gangnam girls.

Thank you for inviting us.

We’ve wanted to meet up for so long, but never had the chance.

By the way, you work, right?

Who doesn’t work in the world?

We all work.

Yes, Karma told me.

You dabble in some art stuff.

I told you she was an artist.

Yes. I dabble!

Tshokey’s paintings are famous.

They have been sold worldwide. Right, tshokey?

Good for you.

As long as you keep yourself busy.

Menda works with renew microfinance.

Oh, our company has donated many times, to your cso!

But sometimes I wonder,

is a job like yours even necessary in a country like Bhutan?

I think your company has donated to renew and not to renew microfinance.

In Bhutan or anywhere else in the world,

serving members of society is very important. Don’t you think so?

Anyway,

if you struggle with anything or need any money, do feel free to ask!

So, Tara,

you work at a bank right?

Umm.. What do you call it?

Ah! Loan manager.

Our company’s accounts are with your bank.

I know.

Your papers are still on my table.

We’re friends now.

I hope the papers don’t stay on your table for much longer.

I will have to see if all the necessary documents have been submitted.

Karma.

I think you should do something.

Look at your friends!

They have jobs to keep themselves busy.

Is that how you keep yourself busy?

I don’t get it!

Oh come on!

You know what I mean!

I don’t know what you mean!

We all work, to support ourselves!

You are in this position

because you have a strong wife.

Cheers to my sister!

Superwoman!

And an amazing friend!

Cheers!

“Play from my playlist.”

“Dabble in art.”

He is too rude.

Tshokey,

people are just different.

I don’t think he intended to hurt you by saying that.

Give me a bloody break!

If women need help, tell me!

All the help women need is, to get away, from a guy like him!

Awww,

anyway,

pity our Karma.

I wonder how she puts up with him?

She said she is happy

but I wonder if she really is...

Blind love and convenience.

Did you notice this morning?

She was perfect all day. Not a strand of hair moved.

Oh god! She has to be perfect all the time!

Now, you’re just over analyzing everything!

No,

I mean just look at her energy, menda, the energy,

we can judge by the energy!

Anyway…

I don’t know how she puts up with him,

I find it so suffocating.

Yes, how is she tolerating him?

Maybe,

maybe he is good in bed!

Childish, aren’t they?

Yes

we don’t have time for this!

I agree.

Oh, don’t mind, about what ugyen said earlier.

That is just how he is.

It’s okay. It doesn’t matter!

As you know I don’t really like talking about men.

Oh, you still don’t want to be with anyone?

I know you’ve always said that,

but…

i’m not interested.

Tara,

not all men are like your father

I don’t know

I know, ugyen can be difficult to understand sometimes,

however...

Anyway, I wish you the best in life.

I feel weird being here today.

It’s okay. It’s time to forgive and forget, isn’t it?

Forgive? Who?

It’ll be difficult to forget, though.

Just seeing her reminds me of the past.

I feel like Tara has already forgiven and forgotten um…

like I care

there’s nothing to forgive

and to forget

come on, be honest with me,

I won’t judge you!

Menda!

I don’t feel like talking about it, leave it, please!

Hey, she stood up for you today.

She had your back.

And attacking ugyen, so satisfying!

Silly girl

you think she was doing it for me?

Yes, she was supporting you. I’m not silly, you’re just too negative.

She is egoistic.

And rude too.

Just like ugyen.

Anyway, Tara,

i’m so happy, that you came,

i’m happy you’re here.

My only hope is

by the end of this, gangnam girls will be

like before and we will have loads of fun and-

stop it! Let’s sleep now

Okak!

Hey, where did you get this from?

I gave it to her to stick some pictures.

So, she added a few, the ones she had.

I took care of it like a baby.

Oh, this guy! What was his name?

The one who had a crush on Tara and gave her flowers. What was his name?

Bokto Oh, yes, bokto.

Too much love

give me a hug as well

where is he these days, I wonder!

I know right!

Look!

Love is blooming!

Aww, my brother, it’ll just be a one sided love story!

I don’t know but I see a possibility though.

Oh my god! It excites me to even think about it!

In the future, we will say,

this is all because of menda; She united us to

gangnam girls reunion, to karma’s housewarming,

and that, they fell in love and got married,

and became parents! How many kids will they have?”

Hey, I told you to stop watching too many korean soaps!

It won’t turn out like that!

It will. You just wait and watch! Look at this!

Karma, do you need any help with the preparations?

You might have a lot of things to do, right?

No, everything is almost ready.

Please let us help as well.

No, thank you, please enjoy yourselves.

Let us know if you need help.

I can help you with decorations. After all, that is ‘tshokey the artist's forte!

Alright then, sounds perfect!

Aw, look at your hairband in this, it was your favourite! Karma

i’m going to paro later,

i’ll come back tomorrow morning

oh, what for? You have some work there?

No, no work at all. I’m going for fun!

How many times do I have to tell you?

Stop asking so many questions!

Ugyen, what about lunch tomorrow?

Karma,

it’s perfect!

It’ll be just us!

Why? You want to party?

Yes, let’s go party Karma. For old times sake!

It’s been so long since i’ve gone partying.

Let’s go?

That’s why we’re here. To remind you who you were.

Okay, let’s go

yes!

But first let me pack ugyen’s luggage,

prepare dinner and then once he leaves for paro, we shall go as well!

Okay, we’ll go after you pamper your dearest ugyen.

I’m so excited. What should I wear?

You’re probably wearing track pants, aren’t you?

I don’t wear track pants all the time... I was kidding, wear whatever you like,

and i’ll do your hair and makeup!

Oh and ask Tara as well. Let’s all go together!

Don’t worry, i’ll tell her.

But tell her to leave her phone at home.

We all have work. She isn’t the only one.

Oh, ttshokey she’s on an important work call.

Anyway, i’ll go shower.

Bye, bye. Tell us if you need help with preparations.

Tell us if you need help with preparations.

Okay

I have to go as well, I have lots of work to do. I’ll be back, once i’m done.

Alright!

Tara,

your hairband.

Thank you.

You are quite busy.

Yes, with work.

Yes, with work.

But, sometimes we must take a break as well!

Break? Breaks are for those who are not hardworking or dedicated to their work.

I love my job

yet, I take time out, to spend with my loved ones.

My family lives with me in phuntsholing

that means you’re here, just to meet your friends, aren’t you?

It’s not that.

Oh, so does that mean you don’t like it here?

Why are you asking me so many questions? Are you always this curious?

Anyway, Tara, thank you so much,

my sister is extremely happy, that all of you made it

and seeing her happy makes me happy.

She is blessed to have a brother like you.

You truly care for her, don’t you?

Not just her, I care for everyone I love.

And the most important thing in life is to love and care for each other, isn’t it?

Sangay, you are just karma’s brother and

we’re not friends, yet.

I don’t mean any harm, just being nice.

We know nothing about each other.

That’s what i’m saying, Tara.

I would like to get to know you, better.

And I want to know, what lies behind, those beautiful eyes of yours!

Hey, what happened to her?

Oh nothing, issues with her balance sheet!

What?

Um… just some bank work.

Ah, bank work gives me headaches!

I don’t understand anything!

Damn, I still haven’t filed my taxes.

That’s really easy, take help from your boyfriend.

Boyfriend? I wish I had one!

I would hold his hand and eat ice cream in the rain!

Ice cream? Yes, ice cream

wow, I think I might be able to help you with that!

With, what?

I can find you a boyfriend, who would love to eat ice cream with you in the rain.

Really? Yes!

Wow, sangay, you are the best!

Anyway, may I ask you something, menda?

Anyway, may I ask you something, menda?

Yes, what is it?

What happened between Tara and tshokey?

Why?

The four of you had a very special bond before

and what could possibly go wrong?

Sangay, I have been trying to resolve this,

but, I haven’t been able to do so.

Everything ended in just one night, sangay!

Menda, tell me what happened?

Tara’s father, left her mother and siblings, when she was very young.

He’s an artist Okay

artists are usually... how do you say it?

Free spirited?

Yes, exactly!

And Tara doesn’t like her father.

She took us with her because she didn’t want to talk to him.

Always escapes!

What?

Nothing, please carry on.

And then…

I really want to try portraits. I love it

yes, but landscapes are much easier than portraits

oh, landscapes are much easier?

Like trees, colors and all

Thank you so much, I have always been interested in art

I really look up to you

Make sure you come on time Okay, sure i’ll be on time

Tara?

Tara?

Where did they go?

Who?

That man and tshokey?

What happened? They went outside

You devil!

Tara, what are you saying?

What are you trying to do? He is twice your age!

Oh I forgot,

that you like your men old!

Tara, it’s not what you think

oh, shut up! You have no right to talk to me

what are you saying, Tara?

You are crossing the line!

Don’t you have any respect for your father?

Father? Since when?

Whose father? You don’t have to act like my father!

The two of you are the same.

Tara, it’s not what you think.

Menda, Karma, please tell her.

Menda, I hope, atleast you believe me.

No, wait. Let’s sit and talk about it.

You didn’t see it. I did. I saw everything.

His hands were on her face, i’m embarrassed to even talk about it.

We were talking about paintings.

You are an unfaithful friend!

Menda, please believe me!

Let’s all sit and talk about it.

Menda, you don’t understand. So leave it.

Friends, please believe me.

Tshokey,

get out!

Menda, please believe me.

Tshokey?

Tshokey was immensely hurt!

It was difficult for her.

Eventually, tshokey and I started talking again.

I would call everyone on special days like their birthdays

all of us talk, but it’s not the same anymore.

But this house warming is a good opportunity.

I’m hopeful!

But, who is right?

We can’t tell who is right and who is at fault. How would we know?

They have their own versions of the story.

But I think it’ll heal with time.

It’s better to talk it out and live in Harmony, isn’t it?

It’s really not that easy!

Think from tara’s point of view.

He is her father!

But sangay, it’s been 10 years already.

There’s no use living in the past.

Menda, you’re really brave for doing this,

reviving the friendship, the special bond you all shared!

But it must be tiring too, right?

It sure is. Sometimes.

But to be honest,

we’ve never found friendship like this with others.

Ours is truly a blessing. It is an extraordinary and special friendship.

You’re a soldier, menda. I am proud of you!

Hey, sangay you’re really fit. What do you do?

You think so?

I’m sorry I am not of much help.

You know my skills are limited, with all of this.

It’s okay, Tara. I’m just happy you’re here.

But, I am as good as not here and my phone keeps ringing.

The world’s not going to come to an end, if you switch off your phone!

If only, everyone had that kind of privilege!

It’s not about freedom or privilege, it’s about priorities.

What’s the point of being slaves to our phones and our work?

Being a workaholic doesn’t make one a slave.

Hey, which one is prettier?

Um… this one!

I love this one too!

Hi!

Hi menda!

Wow, what are these?

They look delicious!

You only think of eating!

It’s all about the food, baby!

Remember the momo contest?

I do..

What did everyone start calling her after that?

Momo menda!

Aww!

Whose momos were those? You ate over a hundred momos, didn’t you?

Oh, it was Mr. Dorji’s momos!

I didn’t have that many...

She ate a lot!

Momo menda! That day was so fun!

Aw, just like before… a moment like this,

i’ve missed it. I was waiting for this.

Momo menda!

Ah, here she goes again!

Hey, did you tell Tara about our plan?

Oh, I completely forgot! Plans? What plans?

Girls night out! Party time!

Aww, Karma, you know I can’t stay out late. I sleep early.

Tara,

I know, that because of me,

we can’t be like before but,

let’s go for their sake!

Let’s go, Tara. Please, please!

One time, last time! Fine, enough. Okay, let’s go!

Okay?

Okay, then. All four of us are going!

Tara, wear a beautiful dress

and then get super high!

She’s asking too much, isn’t she?

You’re still not done?

What were you busy with, all day?

You know my friends are here.

Wow, really?

No. I’m sorry. I had guests so I was a little busy.

Just pack my things.

I ’ll have a drink with sangay and leave later!

Ugyen!

After I am done packing, I will be going out too.

Going? Where?

With my friends.

Cheers!

Thank you brother!

For now, I am happy where I am.

If I change my mind in the future, I will let you know.

I’m glad you thought about it.

There’s no issue with finances.

Sangay, go ahead and eat. Don’t wait for us, we will be a little late.

Ugyen is leaving as well. We are leaving then.

Girls, if you need a driver, tell me. Happy to help!

No, thank you. Girls night only! Bye!

Bye!

Cheers! Everyone, bottoms up!

That’s good!

Can I tell you all something?

I am drunk!

Oh my god, you just had a few drops.

What can I do about it?

I feel so light! I’m flying.

Fly as much as you want, darling.

But don’t forget about gravity, okay?

I feel like I would totally have ice cream with him.

Ice cream?

My menda wants some ice cream! How cute, I adore you!

Mr. Bartender! My friend here wants to have ice cream with you.

Sangay! Hi!

I am flying!

Go dance! What did you say?

I said, go dance with Tara!

You look beautiful. Hmm?

You look beautiful!

Let’s go outside.

Tara, look over there.

I pray that we have many beautiful moments like this.

Tara

Tara

Sit there!

Yes, right there.

Sangay! Where’s my bartender?

I’m sorry…i forgot to bring him here.

Sangay…sangay…sangay! What about my ice cream bartender?

I forgot to bring him too!

Menda… Yes?

Did you eat ice cream with him?

Yes, I did. It was yummy.

What flavor was it?

We had a chocolate vanilla ice cream. It was really nice.

Oh no! I’m sorry you guys…

I should have gotten ice-cream for you all!

It was really nice. I will bring you some next time.

No! We don’t want it!

If I stay any longer with you all, i’ll go crazy too.

I better go sleep, goodnight!

Bye sangay! Sangay...

Yes.

Thank you.

You’re a really nice guy.

Thank you…goodnight.

“Thank you”

you’re a really nice guy!

You guys…

Do you smell something? What?

Love is in the air!

I bet someone is flying, heart beating!

It is not! It never will.

You know all men are the same.

But, sangay is different than the others. He is really nice.

He is very likeable as a friend.

As a friend?

But Tara, you know he doesn’t just want to be friends, right?

He wants to be more than just friends.

No man can be trusted.

At first, they will treat you real nice. But later,

slowly… slowly? What happens?

They will all turn out to be, just like my father.

Men lie so easily.

I don’t even want to look at them anymore.

You can only trust your friends. But then again,

even friends...

Tara,

it’s not that you don’t have friends you can trust.

It’s just that you don’t trust them.

Two of you.

Stop. We are drunk. There’s no point talking about this, right now.

Discuss it tomorrow, okay?

There’s nothing to discuss.

Exactly, menda. There’s nothing to talk about.

Nothing at all!

I want to say something.

Today, after ages.

I finally had the strength to give back to ugyen!

Do you know why?

Why?

Because of you guys…

Awww!

This is what friendship does to people.

I don’t know how to put it in words

it makes you strong like Superman!

Really! It gives you wings.

And if you want peace of mind,

friendship can give you that too..

For me,

friends are more important than family.

It’s been so long since i’ve had family or cousins or a home.

Tshokey...

Huh?

What happened?

Whatever it is, I want to make the most of this night.

That is why, menda...

You should sing for us. Like the old days.

Yes…please… sing for us!

Okay…okay…!!! I will…

♪ I didn’t realize, but I was facing hardships in my life ♪

♪ I didn’t expect it, but my world was collapsing ♪

♪ now what do I do? My heart is breaking into pieces ♪

♪ would you please hold on to my spirit? ♪

♪ Can you hold on to my spirit? ♪

♪ Can you hold on to the bond I feel for you? ♪

Aww…

♪ can you hold on to my spirit? ♪

No! Menda should sing..

Ugh! All thanks to tshokey!

What is it?

Tshokey.

I swear to god i’m never drinking again. Ever.

Famous words. A lot of people have said it.

It hurts, right?

It hurts like crazy.

I have the cure.

Really? What is it? Tell me!

Take one nore shot and you’ll be fine.

One more shot.

Tshokey!

Are you going to puke?

Watch her go!

She just had a drop!

Tshokey!!!

Look, this is still pretty tangled!

Do it yourself then!

Sangay…what are you looking at? Help us!

What’s wrong, sister?

There’s a problem with the catering.

What happened? Don’t worry.

The caterer’s sibling is ill. We have to make half of the food here.

But I still have shopping and lawn needs to be fixed as well.

I don’t know where to start.

Don’t worry about that.

You get started with the preparations outside, the lawn!

We will prepare the food, right guys?

We? If I enter the kitchen, I will start a fire.

I don’t remember the last time I entered the kitchen.

You two…

it’s fine,

I will help you sangay. I know a thing or two about cooking.

Okay great! I have someone to help me.

One says they will burn everything;

the other does not remember the last time they entered a kitchen.

Two of you can go shopping.

Exactly! You said a very smart thing right now, sangay.

Yep, the two of you can go shopping.

Give me the list, Karma.

The list is right there.

Don’t worry, Karma. Everything will go as planned.

The guests arrive at 12 tomorrow, right?

Yes, in the afternoon. Right, don’t worry.

Everything will be fine. We have time.

That is true but

I am worried ugyen will say something about it.

That I haven’t done anything.

If he complains

tell him to do it. - Yes.

You are really patient. I don’t know how I would live with such a man.

Exactly… don’t worry. Everything will go according to plan.

Please can you guys make it quick? Sure

i’ll drive. Come on, tshokey!

Obviously, you are driving, because I don’t know how to.

Bye!!!

Menda…

yes?

-Good job! -Good job!

Thanks to us, they might actually kill each other.

Las, thank you.

Let’s go now.

We have more things to get.

Oh, these items? I know where we can get them. It’s over there, come.

Go straight ahead.

What happened?

Look at that.

What?

Isn’t that ugyen?

Oh my god!

Lying cheat!

I am not even surprised.

Why did we have to see this?

What should we do?

Oh my god!

Really?

Are you sure it was him?

Really?

It must be true if two people saw it.

But this is so wrong! He is so wrong!

How can he do this? That too to our Karma.

How should we tell Karma about this?

What should we tell her?

I don’t think it’s necessary to tell her.

What?

Are you saying, what he’s doing is correct?

You’re being shortsighted. What happens after we leave?

Tara, we are friends. We have to have her back.

Yes, I know.

But do you know how she’s lived for 5 years?

The two of you, stop arguing for now. Let’s think.

I think that we should tell her.

This is one of the most common things in our society.

And the wife, the mannor the family, are always the last ones to know.

After the whole world already knows.

I feel so bad for them.

It’s two against one. We have to tell her.

Okay fine.

Oh my god! This is such a mess.

What happened? What are you guys doing here?

Is everything okay?

Karma…

come. Sit here. We need to talk.

There’s something you need to know.

What happened, menda? You are scaring me.

Karma, we are your friends. We will always be with you.

No matter what, we are here for you.

Tell me now. My heart is about to stop. What happened?

When Tara and I went shopping, we saw ugyen.

And he was...

Ugyen?

My ugyen?

No that can’t be right. He is in paro.

He called me earlier

and said he was coming back.

He never went to paro.

He was coming out of some hotel in chubachu.

And he was with

he was what? Who was he with?

He was with another woman.

I’ve always known about this.

What?!

What did you say?

Karma…

how can you live like this?

So if you knew about it,

what you’re saying is, you’re okay with it?

No, it isn’t right. But…

I don’t have a choice.

Karma,

what happened to you?

You were so full of life. You believed in love. What happened to you?

You are not the Karma we used to know.

It is what it is.

What do you want me to do, tell him?

Then what?

I’ll leave him?

Then what?

Look at me. Look at my life.

Yes, we are looking.

Looking at your fake life.

All this convenience, right?

It’s not like that, tshokey.

Even if it was, what about it? What’s wrong with that?

I told you - all men are the same.

Why shouldn’t she live a comfortable, happy life?

Tara, what are you trying to say?

Are you telling Karma to compromise?

You have become very cold. All men are not the same!

It’s not just men. Women are like that too. Everyone I know is the same.

I have seen how people are.

You are not talking about Karma, are you? You’re talking about me and your dad.

Yes, I am talking about you and that man.

Now I get it! I am an absolute idiot!

I thought, everything would turn out

alright. But that’s not going happen, is it?

Stop it you two!

This isn’t about the two of you. It is about Karma.

Karma…

Karma…

what are you going to do now?

I don’t know. I can’t change my life now.

Karma…

listen…

everything will be alright.

You just have to let that go.

I like how you give others advice. But just look at yourself.

Tara! I am human. I have flaws.

But right now it is about Karma. Let’s not compromise her.

She’s an adult. She knows what is best for her.

You’re adding to her anxiety.

I am making her anxious?

I am helping her right now. Okay?

Help? You’re going to help? Forget about that.

I understand now. It is not about Karma. It’s about you.

You just want to blame somebody.

Tara, the world doesn’t revolve around you.

I told you. She’s never going to grow up. I told you, Karma,

that this was a mistake. We shouldn’t have met again.

We were all happy and peaceful before this.

How useless...

Happy? Wealth and money make you happy?

Tara, money and success have gone to your head.

Stop it, you two.

Menda… enough! Gangnam girls…gangnam girls!

Real people have real problems.

What? Am I not real?

Are you saying I don’t have real problems? What’s with the three of you?

The best days of our lives were when we were together.

And you miss it. I know that. You can’t lie to me.

We were fine.

I mean I was fine.

I don’t know about you. You don’t have any other friends, do you?

That’s why you keep coming back to gangnam girls…gangnam girls!

Tshokey!

Is that what you think?

That I am starved of friends?

The three of you…

I’m going to say something honestly

it is always about the three of you. The

never ending drama between the three of you.

Tshokey’s drama… karma’s drama… tara’s drama…

what am I?

You guys never thought about me. Not once.

It’s like I never existed

Fine.

Forget itl.

Menda, I...

I should have never come here.

I cannot stay here any longer.

Sorry…i need to go

Karma…

I am sorry.

Maybe everyone is right, and i’m wrong.

The bond of family, friendship, and partners.

I wouldn’t understand, right?

But,

you will decide for yourself, right?

Are you going to stay with him?

Alright

Tara…

what happened? Where are you going?

It was a mistake coming here; I am going back.

Did someone say something to you?

No one said anything to me.

Please be honest with me. Please.

It’s better if I don’t say anything. Let me go.

Tara…

listen to me…housewarming is tomorrow. Stay here for just another night.

I don’t care!

I know how much you love your friends. You are telling yourself a lie!

You didn’t meet them after 10 years to leave like this, did you?

Let me go for now. I have a headache. I need to go somewhere peaceful.

Tara… Let me go. I need to go.

Listen…please… Let me go.

You’re being childish. Please let me go.

Tara!

If you really must go, I won’t let you go alone. I am coming with you, okay?

I’ve thought about it. You’re all right.

I was wrong.

I went too far, didn’t I?

I threw away the gangnam girls book too.

I am never going to say anything to you guys ever again.

No gangnam girls. Nothing.

Menda…

I am terrible. I was wrong

I just thought that…

our lives are so short.

Everything is impermanent and will disappear one day.

We don’t have a lot of time.

And we’re wasting that being jealous, fighting, and holding grudges.

I just thought there was no point in doing all that.

Menda…

I wish I was like you. Compassionate, patient, and kind hearted.

But- I don’t know…

maybe that’s why I am also always the one getting hurt.

Menda…

I really love all of you.

I’ve missed,

the gangnam girls!

I have never gone a day without thinking of you all.

Really?

Of all the things you have ever said to me,

what you said just now was the most beautiful.

Everything will be alright.

I mean, it is simple.

It’s so easy.

No ego. No attitude. No bad feelings.

Say sorry to each other, forgive and live in Harmony.

That’s it. Simple.

I’m so happy I got to spend two days with you all here.

It feels really nice to be together, right? Right, menda?

Who are you? You’re not tshokey.

Where is my friend? Where is my friend tshokey?

My friend tshokey never speaks sense.

Everything will be alright.

I’m sorry. I am really rude, aren’t I?

You are.

Tara…

I know about what happened with you and tshokey.

Who told you about it? Menda did.

Can’t you forget and forgive?

I’m not sure what to forget and who to forgive.

Sangay…do you think there are stories beyond what we see and hear?

What are you trying to say? I don’t understand.

I know what I saw. I know i’m not mistaken.

Tara, be honest with me.

What did you see that night? What did you hear?

Leave it.

Please, Tara. Don’t keep this to yourself. Tell me.

Leave it.

There’s no point in holding back now? I’m a friend. Tell me.

Please.

That night,

I was worried something was going to happen between tshokey and my father,

I followed them to listen.

Then.

I really love painting. Colors, patterns and other things.

Landscaping, portraits and all, I love creating these.

Tshokey, if you want to become an artist, you must be fearless.

I made the mistake of getting married.

My wife is great. My children are amazing too.

But i’m messed up.

I can never stay in one place.

So, if you’re sure about being an artist, you must always be ready. Okay?

Be independent! You won’t be able to give much time otherwise.

Now, even if I want to, I cannot. My family doesn’t support me.

Sometimes I feel I am alone in this world.

My way of thinking. My hope of becoming an artist is just going to be another hope.

The good news is people like us don’t need friends or family.

But you must be able to live on your own.

You devil!

Tara, what are you saying?

What are you trying to do?

He is twice your age.

Oh, I forgot that you like your men old.

It is not what you think

oh, shut up! You have no right to talk to me

Tara, what are you saying?

If that’s what you saw and heard, then it’s really not a big deal.

It’s only because I interrupted at the right time, nothing happened.

I don’t think they did anything wrong.

Are you saying i’m at fault?

No tara… I am not saying you are wrong.

But I think you just saw what you wanted to see.

Sangay, you don’t know anything. About my father or about tshokey.

You have no idea, how i’ve lived my life.

I invited them that night for dinner. Why did she have to be alone with my dad?

She crossed her boundary, the friendship.

She knew I did not like him, but she didn’t

care. She just had to spend time alone with him.

All I ever wanted from him was time and advice. That’s all i’ve been waiting for.

But he only gave it to tshokey.

My mother, my siblings, and I don’t matter to him.

Who does she think she is?

She is friendly with everyone and lives in peace. I also want to live like that.

But I never got the chance.

Try seeing the world as I do.

I should have just stayed in phuentsholing.

I am going to go back to phuentsholing. Coming here was a mistake.

I’m going to go.

Tara…

you’re only saying all this out of anger.

But that’s a mistake.

None of us are perfect or enlightened. We all make mistakes.

It’s not too late to fix things.

See, you’re here now. After 10 years. You’re with your friends.

You didn’t come all the way to leave like this, did you?

Tell them everything.

They’ll understand.

Your friends love you

and they miss you.

I know that tshokey will understand.

If you don’t fix things right now,

the chance will never come again.

I’m so sorry, tshokey.

Tara…

what did I ever do to you?

I have been alone all these years.

With no friends.

I had to make myself strong.

The perfect girl Tara suddenly has lot of flaws, doesn’t she?

Till now,

i’ve made myself believe in the things I thought I saw.

But…

talking to sangay today,

I realize I could be wrong.

I know you have done nothing wrong.

Forgive me for that, tshokey. I am so sorry.

I don’t know what to say.

None of you believed me.

I begged.

My heart couldn’t bear it when I saw the two of you bonding like family.

I didn’t know if I was angry or jealous.

I know

how much you’ve suffered.

Just like you, I have suffered as well.

Are you asking me to forgive you?

If I hadn’t already forgiven all of you, I wouldn’t have come here in the first place.

Today if I leave, with anger,

we will just end up in the same situation as before.

But…

we are friends.

We met because we are destined to be together.

Let’s all live in peace and Harmony.

Let’s forget about our past.

Ugyen came home late yesterday as usual.

But I didn’t wait for him. I was thinking a lot and I just fell asleep.

And the truth is…

I love him.

I don’t know why. But I want to give it a try.

But he might need to change his attitude.

I promise…

I won’t live my life in misery anymore.

Karma, I am really proud of you.

Please don’t be upset with me.

I couldn’t give you any good advice.

It’s fine, Tara. Both of you are right. That

is why, the middle path is what I choose now.

I told tshokey this, a long time ago. That it is

all clearly written in the buddha’s teachings.

The Buddha showed us the middle path. We just didn’t listen to him.

She’s at it again…

only she would say such a thing. - Exactly.

Let’s go now, must get dressed!

What are we going to wear?

Don’t worry about that. I have a surprise for you guys.

- Let’s get going now. - Do I look nice?

Of course!

Oh…there’s one more. Wait!

What?

- It’s something pink. - Is it for me?

This is for you…

Who’s that?

That is menda.

And this?

Karma.

And this? That’s me.

And this? You…

Karma, what is this?

I thought I told you to wear a dress.

Ugyen, you said something else too, didn’t you?

You said you were going to paro. Is chubachu in paro?

We have many things to talk about. We’ll do that later.
