' Yeh mujhe kya hota jaa raha hai? Mere upar Jassi itni hawi kaise hoti jaa rahi hai?Kyonnnnnn????? Damn!! I hate Jassi.Usne mera phone kata kaise?'Armaan is stunned and still holding the phone,grumbling to himself. Yet he can't think of anything else other than Jassi.
Then he flashbacks to the Purab-Meenakshi scene.All of a sudden,a sadness grips him.No matter how much he tries,he can't shake off Jassi's fallen face from his mind."Nahi,mujhe Jassi par aise gussa nahi hona chahiye.'
'Yeh to saaf hai ki Purab ne Jassi ko Meenakshi ke baare mei kuch nahi bataaya.Akhir kyon??? Koi to baat hai.'
He picks up the phone and dials Raj.

At Billu's place,Bebe and Amrit are hovering over Billu.Billu says'Ab zara tabiyat theek lag rahi hai.Ab Jassi ko jaldi se training deni padegiMeri queen Victoria kisi se haarni nahi chahiye.'
'Nahi haaregi Billu.Tere hote hue Jassi kabhi nahi haaregi.' says Bebe.
'Waise Bebe,aaj hum jis doctor ke paas gaye the,kitni sundar thi.Soch raha tha agar aap jaake meri aur uski shadi ki baat karte.......'
'Oye chup kar!Meri Jassi mushkil me hai aur tu apni shadi ke sapne dekh raha hai'
'Uncleji mai to bas.....'
"Chuppppppp. Ek baat aage bola to kaan kinch ke tujhe lamba kar dunga!!'
*************************************************
Raj is shown standing with Armaan.
"Mujhe to vishwas nahi ho raha tu kisi ek ladki ke peeche itna soch sakta hai.Wo bhi Jassi?Armaan,tu theek to hai???"
"Bakwaas mat kar Raj.Main Jassi ke baare mei nahi,Gulmohar ke baare me soch raha hun.Agar Jassi pareshaan rahi to Gulmohar ka kaam bhugtega."
"Baat to tu sahi kah raha hai.Par Armaan tu sabko bewakuf banaa sakta hai.Khud ko bhi.Par mujhe nahi.TU is wakt sirf Jassi ke baare mei soch raha hai.Aur phir is baat ko maan lene me harz hi kya hai.Kahin tujhe Jassi madam se ishq vishq to nahi ho gaya.Humn...to tujhe Jassi se ishq hone laga hai...."
( Pari is shown to be listening behind the door with her stupid shocked expression.She hears a sound and leaves.)
Armaan turns away from Raj and gives a forced laugh. "Tu paagal ho gaya hai?Main aur pyar,woh bhi Jassi se?"But his voice lacks conviction and his face looks bleak."Nahi,aisa kabhi nahi ho sakta.Main to sirf Jassi ko kush dekna chahta hun aur saath mei Gulmohar ka faayeda bhi.Kick boxing ka idea waise bura nahi tha.."
Jassi enters at this point.
"Armaan sir,kal ki baat ke liye main sharminda hun.Purab ne mujhe andhere mein rakkha.Aur main use apna dost maanti thi.Mere saath hi aisa kyon hota hai?Mai jispe vishwas karti hun wo mujhe dhoka deta hai.Mera faida uhane ki koshish karta hai."
" Han Jassi,shayad maine bhi bohot baar tumhara di dukhaya hai.Par tum chinta nahi karo.Hum Meenakshi ka koi na koi hal to zaroor nikalenge."
*****************************
.
Pari rushes to Mallika.
"Mallika,gazab ho gaya.Tum ab Armaan ko sachmuch kho dogi."
"Kya bakwaas kar rahi ho?Saaf saaf kaho"
"Maine Raj ko Armaan se kehte suna ki use us Chashmish chuhiya se ishq ho gaya hai."
"Kise,Raj ko?'
"Naaaahi,Armaan ko"
"Kya?"
Mallika starts pacing."Main us Jassi ko barbaad kar dungi".She storms out of the room,followed by a dumbstuck Pari.
*********************************************
Meanwhile,Purab is sitting in the car with Meenakshi.
"Meenakshi,tum kabhi kabhi zaroorat se jyada bolti ho."
"Tum bhool rahe ho Purab.iski shuruwat tumne ki hai.Jassi ko tum phasana chahte ho,mai nahi.Gulmohar mujhe nahi,tumhe haasil karna hai."
" Philhaal main sirf itna chahta hun ki Jassi mujhse pyaar karne lage aur Armaan ka bhoot uske sar se uttar jaye.Warna Gulmohar kabhi mere haath nahi aayega.Wo aur uske Armaan sir ne mere poore mansoobe par paani pher diya.Kohinoor ki sacchayi ka bhi nahi pataa chal rahi.Khabar to galat nahi ho sakti.Par agar Jassi Armaan ko bhulegi nahi to na Gulmohar aur na hi Kohinoor mere hisse mei aayegi!"
Meenakshi looks at him and says," Purab,kabhi buisness ke alaawa insaano ke baare mei soch liya karo."
"Tumhare muh se aisi baaten achchi nahi lagti Meenakshi.Tumhe paise chahiye,tumhe mil jayenge.Apni nasihat kisi aur ke liye sambhal ke rakho.Ab utro."
Meenakshi gets down.Purab drives away.
The camera pans on Meenakshi's face."Mujhe paisa nahi,Tum chahiye Purab.Aur jis khel ki shuruwat tumne ki,usko anjam to mai hi dungi.Tumhe to mera hona hi parega,Purab Mehra."
*****************************************************
Jassi comes out of Armaan's office and comes face to face with Mallika.
"Main tumhari chalon ko samajhne lagi hun Jassi.Tum sidhi sadi nahi ho,ye to main jaanti thi.Par tumhari nazar mere Armaan par hogi ye maine nahi socha tha" Mallika'voice spews venom.
"Mallika,ye in raiiszado ko phasati kaise hai,pucho to?"Pari butts in maliciously. "Shayad isne koi training li hai Mallika.Phele Purab Mehra,ab Armaan."
Jassi looks at them bewildered."ye aap kasi baanten kar rahi hain?"
"Bano mat Jassi.Tumhara khel to main khatam koroongi.Phir Armaan to kya,Gulmohar ka koi bhi tumhare naam se katrayega."
"Main nahi jaanti aapke deemag me kaun sa fitur chal raha hai.Par ek baat yaad rakhiyega.Ab jo koi bhi mujhe kamzor samajh kar mujhe takleef pohuchane ki koshish karega,use main nahi choringi. Chahe phir wo aap hi kyon na ho."
"Main tumhe Armaan ke paas phatakne bhi nahi doongi."
Comprehension draws on Jassi.
"Aap Armaan sir ko zanjeero mei baandh ke rakhengi?Pyar zabardasti se nahi haasil hota.Aap ko jo karna ho kariye.Mujhe koi farak nahi parta.Han,in sabme agar kisi ka nuksaan ho sakta hai,to wo sirf aap hai Mallika."
She leaves.Mallika and Pari stare on after her,stunned.
