Ayaan: (his eyes have gone round and his hand is already on the cheek) Tumhe ho kya gaya hai? I did not knw u love kids that much!! (and he has an unusual naughtiness in his voice which surprises Asmi)
Asmi: Tum na''.
Ayaan: Haan haan'.ab apna dialogue pura kar bhi do'.keh do'.ki main dramebaaz hu'.

Ayaan: Main apni dramebaazi ka kala baad me aapko privately dikha dunga'.ok? Filhaal ek zaruri baat suno'kal na tum breakfast ke baad'.Music school k saamne aa jana'.hamein unn baccho se milna chahiye'

Asmi: (murmurs) Phir se nautanki!! (to Ayaan) Achha thik hai'.main pohuch jaungi!! Waise tum kyun mujhe lene nahi aa sakte??
Ayaan: Baar baar shaadi se pehle sasural nahi jana chahiye'.tumhe itna bhi pata nahi hai kya??
Asmi: Achha?? Tumhe to bahut kuch pata hai!! Par kaise??
Ayaan: Kisi film me dekha tha!!
Asmi: Tum kab se films dekhte ho??
And the conversation goes on'.Ayaan-Asmi were totally engrossed while Samay smiles from the door only'..as he had cum to meet his sister'.however she was perfectly busy!!
As Samay keeps standing there smiling to himself Kinjal n Mauli stop by him.
Kinjal: Tum yaha kya kar rahe ho?
Samay: Kuch nahi'.bas dekh raha tha'.Asmi kitni bakwas baatein kar sakti hai'.Ayaan k saath!!
Kinjal: That's extremely bad Samay'.tum yaha khare ho kar unki baatein sun rahe ho?? Give ur sister sum privacy okay?
Samay: Arre nahi'not in that way baba!! Main to Asmi se bas milne aya tha'lekin yah aaa ke dekha'..madam to phn pe busy hai'.and mujh bas laga ki ye dono bina kisi topic ke hi ghanto se baatein kar rahe hai'..
Mauli: Well Bhaiya'.maine bhi ye ajeeb baat notice kii hai'.pata nahi shaadi k pehle ke kuch din'.ladka ladki ek dusre se itni kya baatein karte hai!! Aur ye dono to itna bak bak kar rahe hai'.that I doubt inki married life dumb hogi'.coz baat karne ko to kuch bachega hi nahi na'.
Kinjal: Actually Mauli'.shaadi ke pehle ke kuch din na bahut scary hote hai'.
Mauli: Scary??
Samay: Yes'.becoz they r scared to lose that one person who soon wud be defining their very existence!! Actually tab to ek pal ki doorie se bhi darr lagta hai'.ki kahin yehi ek pal zindagi na badal de'.so they intend to be in touch as much as possible!!
Mauli: Really?? Aisa lagta hai?
Kinjal: Yes Madam'aisa hi lagta hai'.jab tumhari shaaid hogi'.tab pata chalega!! By the way'.I'm pretty impressed Samay'.tum kab se itni gyan ki baatein karne lage ho??
Samay: Main to hamesha se hi intelligent hu yaar'.bas tum zara der se samajhti ho'.
Kinjal: Huh'.chalo ab aise hi bekaar mat raho'.kuch kaam karo'.kitna kaam baki hai'.Mauli tum chalo mere saath!!
And the girls leave while Samay keeps wondering!!
Samay: Bekaar?? Subah se kaam hi to kar raha tha'.ek pal k liye break kya le liya'.isne to mujhe bekaar bana diya'.kya zamana hai yaar!! (and he leaves to work)
The next day'.Ayaan n Asmi visit the music school'.as Ayaan predicted those kids were still learning their lessons!!
Ayaan: (whispers to Asmi) Kaha tha na'..ye yehi honge'.ab dekhte hai'inhe main'.I mean hum yaad hai ya nahi!!
Asmi: Inhe yaad hai'.actually wo naughty sa baccha hai na'wo mila tha mujhe!!
Ayaan: Tum yaha mere bina hi ayi thi??
Asmi: Arre nahi'.main to tahelte tahelte iss taraf aa gayi thi'..aur uss bacche ne mujhe pehchaan liya tha'.mere Mumbai jaane se kuch din pehle ki baat hai bas!!
Ayaan: Hmm'.achha chalo'andar chalte hai!!
As they the kids got happy to see them'..but at the same tym they were troubling them wid various questions!!
Kid 1: Aap log itne dino ke baad kyun aye?
Kid 3: Pata hai'hum na pehle pehle aap dono ko miss karte the'.aur Bhaiya'hamein to laga tha aap kabhi wapas nahi aaoge!!
Ayaan: Kyun?? Main to zinda tha!! (at this Asmi smacks his arm)
Kid 2: Lekin aap ne kaha tha na aap yaha nahi aaoge'.aur phir jab maine Didi se poochha tha'unhone bhi kaha tha ki aap nahi aaoge!! Aap dono kitna jhooth bolte ho!!
[ The naughty kid is Kid 2'..even before he was Kid 2'.so I didn't want to change this'.however main isse koi naam nahi dene wali'mujhe Kid 2 kehna hi pasand hai]
Ayaan: Arre beta'.jhooth nahi bola tha'.actually mujhe pata nahi than a kismet kabhi kabhi mujhpe bhi meherbaan ho jata hai!!
Kid 2: Matlab?
Ayaan: Kuch nahi!! Tum log batao yaar'.kaise ho?? Aur ye music lessons kaise chal rahe hai? Kuch ata bhi hai'.ya ek saal se aise hi'.
Kid 2: Arre nahi nahi'.hamein to bahut kuch ata hai'.mujhe to sabse achhi tarah se piano bajana ata hai'.main to Didi ko takkar de sakta hu'.
With the mention of piano Ayaan saddens a bit'.coz it reminds him of Pari'.. [Ayaan had gifted Pari a piano on her birthday'..may be u remember it now'hehe]'..however Asmi just looks at him and he quickly diverts himself from that!!
They spend sum tym with the kids and their music'.and then'
Ayaan: Achha suno'.hum nay aha aap logo se kuch kehne aye the'.we hav got a news'main na aapki Asmi Didi se shaadi karne wala hu'.
Kid 2: Ohh'iska matlab ye hamari Bhabhi ban jayegi?
Ayaan: Exactly!!
Kid 2: Lekin pehli baar jab maine inhe Bhabhi kaha tha'.aap ne mana kar diya tha na'..to ab kyun inhe Bhabhi bana rahe ho??
Ayaan: (murmurs) Ye itna kyun bakta hai?
Asmi: To kya aap nahi chate main aapki Bhaiya se shaadi karu??
Kid 2: Arre nahi'actually main na bahut chhota hu'.isliye aap ke liye Ayaan Bhaiya hi sahi hai'.
At this Ayaan drops his jaw while Asmi just laughs!!
Ayaan: (to Asmi) Kya isne abhi abhi tumpe line mara??
Asmi: May be!!
Ayaan: Ye kuch zyada hi bolta hai'.
Asmi: He serves u right!!
Ayaan just shakes his head n smiles at the kid''he very much reminded him of Pari!!
Ayaan: Achha ab hamein chalna chahiye'.lets go!!
And now they start walking'.but Asmi was silent at first!!
Ayaan: Kya hua? Any problem?
Asmi: Mujhe na bahut darr lag raha hai'
Ayaan: Kis baat se?
Asmi: I donno'I mean'meri shaadi ho rahi hai'I'm nervous'and I'm excited as well'.lekin dil me ek ajeeb si feeling hai'.a sinking kinda feeling!!
Ayaan: (smiles) Aisa hota hai'.mujhe bhi bahut darr lag raha hai'.u knw'no matter how much we love each other'.or how well we knw each other'we r now going to enter a new phase of our life'.it may be very very beautiful'.but its all NEW!!! And that's where this sinking feeling gets in'.hum hamesha nayi cheezon se katrate hai'.and I guess'its all a part of this!!! I'm sure'sab hi ko aisa feel hota hoga!!
Asmi: Hmm'may be u r right!!
Ayaan: (hugs her sideways) Now c'mon don't be so thoughtful'..tum aisi soch me dubi hui'
Asmi: Achhi nahi lagti??
Ayaan: Aree nahi'tum aise kuch zyada hi achhi lagti ho'.and at this point of tym'tumhara zyada achha lagna mere liye hanikarak sabit ho sakta hai!! (Asmi just smiles wid a blush) I always want this smile on ur face'.u get that?
Asmi just nods in a yes'.and then Ayaan drops her home before leaving for his hotel!!
At night'.Ayaan calls Mauli'.
Mauli: Ok'lekin tum jaa kyun rahe ho?
Ayaan: Tum nahi samjhogi!!
Mauli: Kya?
Ayaan: Uff'apne sawalo ka teer chalana bandh karo'.aur dhyan se suno'agar Asmi ko bhanak bhi lag gayi ki main yaha nahi hu'.to zindagi bhar iska badla lunga yaad rakhna!!
Mauli: Okay baba'.lekin tum ek din me aa jaoge na!!
Ayaan: Arre haan yaar'warna shaadi kaise hogi'chalo ab rakhta hu'.bye!! Sab sambhal lena!!
Mauli: Don't worry'bye!!
Today is the Mahendi & Sangeet'''every1 is at the Shergill Mansion where Ayaan n others were already present'.and Asmi was to come down from her room'.she was getting ready!! Now how Ayaan managed to reach before her'.is sumthing unexplainable!!
However'..Ayaan is wearing this:
Nishant: So tell me Ayaan'kitni bechaini ho rahi hai??
Ayaan: Kis baat ki?? (he knew wat Nishant was talking abt'.but then why wud he admit?)
Nishant: C'mon yaar'.bano mat'.tumhara dil bechain ho raha hoga na'.Asmi ko dekhne k liye'.
Ayaan: Well'.jab wo niche aa jayegi'.tab apne aap mujhe dikh jayegi hai na?? Main bechain nahi hu'.(and he looks away)
Nishant: Okay then'I'll see!!
After a while'.Asmi was cuming down wid Kinjal'.
Asmi:
As Ayaan sees her'.he keeps looking in that direction!! How cud he deny that she was'.ahh'. 'Beautiful'!! But as Nishant sees him lost'.he clears his throat and Ayaan realizes that he was staring'..meanwhile Asmi also raises her eye-brows at him'.in return he just smiles n proceeds towards them.
Ayaan: I knew u wud look beautiful'.after all aise hi to main aapko Ms. Beautiful nahi bulata na? (he was talking to Kinjal'.Kinjal was surprised n laughed at his naughtiness'..while Asmi & Nishant just shook his head)
Asmi: Bhabhi'chaliye iski nautanki to chalti rahegi!! Huh!!
Ayaan: But I didn't lie'.did I??
And there he was'.again right!! He actually didn't lie'..so Asmi cudnt reply to that'.so she just made a face'.and went away!!
Nishant: Tum bhi na'..ajeeb insaan ho yaar'apni hone wali biwi ko koi aise naraz karta hai kya??
Ayaan: Wo naraz nahi hai'samjhe? She is never angry wid me'.she is too sweet for that'.and mujhe bas lagta hai'unki sweetness ko utilize karma chahiye'.aise hi zaya nahi hone dena chahiye!! Waise'.main to hamesha se hi 'ajeeb' hu na Nishant?
Nishant: Matlab??
Ayaan: Nothing'.tumhe baad me pata chal'
Before he cud complete Mauly cums towards them.
Mauli: Hey'kya chal raha hai??
Ayaan: (he completes the line to himself as he sees her) Jayega!! (now answers Mauli) Bahut kuch chal raha hai'jaise ki ghadi chal rahi hai'.ye dharti chal rahi hai'apni axis par'and'.
Mauli: Shut up!!
Ayaan: Now wat?? Tumhi ne poochha tha'kya chal raha hai!!
Mauli: I really hate u!!
Ayaan: U wish!!
Mauli: Tum saare ladke aise hi hote ho'.bure!! Huh'.(and she leaves)
Nishant: Naraz tumne kiya'.aur bure hum sab ho gaye? Now how can this be justified??
Ayaan: Actually'I cannot be blamed solely'.I am too sweet for that u c'.isiliye isse generalize kiya gaya!! (and he grins while Nishant shakes his head)
Nishant: Tum ruko'main zara Samay ko dhund ke ata hu'.
Ayaan: Yeah'don't worry'.apni shaadi ka sangeet chhorke main kahin nahi jaane wala!!
Afetr a while'.Pratyush cums to Ayaan'and this tym wid his girlfrnd'Nikki!!
Pratyush: Hey Ayaan'congrats!!
Ayaan: Thanks'.am glad u made it!! Though I'm more surprised ki tum sabko chhutti mil gayi'.waise Saket nahi aya?
Pratyush: No'.wo shayad shaadi me hi ayega!!
Ayaan: Well that has to be obligatory for him!!
Pratyush: Waise'.lagta hai'Mauli ko apni shaadi me chhutti nahi milegi!!
Ayaan: Don't worry'.I'll make sure she doesn't get that! Just kidding'.by the way'.I think u r forgetting sumthing'.or rather sum1 very important!! (and he indicates towards Nikki)
Pratyush: Oh yeah'.sorry!! This is Nikki''(and he didn't complete further)
Ayaan: Hello Nikki'.thanks for coming!!
Nikki: Thanks for inviting me'and congrats!!
Ayaan just replies wid a smile'..while Nishant calls him'.and he leaves excusing himself!!
Nikki: Tum inse itna darrte ho?? He seems sweet!!
Pratyush: Arre darrta nahi hu'but I hav to be lot more conscious!! And yeah'.when did I say'.he is not sweet'its just he is way too bitter when he is bitter!!
Nikki: Ab kaam ke waqt wo tumhari aarti to nahi utaarenge na?
Pratyush: Phir bhi'main bahut zyada conscious ho jata hu'.may be I just don't wanna let him down!!
Nikki: Seems like u admire him!!
Pratyush: Sure I do'.wo hain hi itne admirable. I just really admire and respect him!! U knw wat'.he does the least necessary thing wid utmost necessity'.
Nikki: And wat abt the most necessary things?? (and she laughs while he just makes a face)
Pratyush: Well'during that tym'.he is not this much sweet'blv me!! But really Nikki'maine jis officer ko iss team me replace kiya'.wo coma me the'and I heard'.Ayaan used to hav every detail abt his condition!! Isnt that admirable??
Nikki: (smiles) Yes it is'.and Pratyush'.main na samajh gayi'.ki tum inhe kuch zyada hi admire karte ho'.but cud u pls stop this for now? Ek ladke ko kisi dusre ladke ki itni tariff nahi karma chahiye!!
Pratyush: Gosh'tum'
Just then Mauli cums to them'.and introduces them wid sum frnds'.so that they wud not feel bored!!
However amidst all this talking'they didn't realize sum1 was unintentionally listening to their conversation'.and at the end that person bore a smile on the face!! Well'it was none other than Asmi'.who was just passing by'.and got to hear sum sweet admiring words for her husband to-be!!
Asmi just looked thru the ppl to find Ayaan standing at a corner n talking to Nishant n Samay!! How cud she deny that he was actually very much 'admirable'!!
Just at that tym'.Ayaan looked at Asmi's direction'.to find her staring at him!! He raised his eye-brows in an asking matter'.Asmi just shook her head n smiled'.while he returned her shy smile wid a killing one!! Love was undoubtedly in the air!!
