But Mickey doesn't give in and acts as a loyal partner, failing this plan as well. Posing as the breakup consultant on phone, Mickey asks Tinni the reason for breaking up with him. Tinni reveals that she does not want to live with his family after marriage and wants to live independently, so that they can have their own personal space.
