All-righty! My plans for tomorrow stand cancelled, so here I am, typing out todays' edition of JandA .
Jassi is standing looking at Saagar Fernandes' card, when Armaan grabs her from behind and starts nuzzling her neck.😳😳😳
Then he sees the card and takes it from her hand. Reading it, he grits his teeth in typical Armaan fashion.
"Jassi, iss aadmi ki problem kya hai? Isse toh main aaj…."
Jassi: Nahin Armaan, calm down. Mujhe pataa toh karne do ki woh kya baat karna chahta hai…
Armaan (grabbing her hand): Jassi, tum usse milne nahin jaogi!
J: Please Armaan, mujhe jaane do….agar who aadmi theek nahin hua toh hum phir kabhi usse apne paas nahin aane denge….
J finally convinces A to let her go and meet the man. Armu concedes reluctantly.
Nandu arrives at GM and is pleasantly surprised to see Pari on time, waiting for him. She smiles a brilliant smile at him; he smiles back, dazed.
Pari: Nandu, kal ki shaam bahut achchi guzri. Thank you for the great time. Hum aaj shaam ko kahaan ja rahe hain?
Nandu: aaj….shaam ko….?😕
Pari: Haan…..aaj ek naye restaurant ki opening hai…
Nandu is in a fix since he had promised to take out Beauty for ice-cream.
Nandu: Sorry, Pari, lekin aaj shaam main bahut busy hoon….Jassi ke absence mein saara workload mujh pe hai….main toh shaayad sari raat yahin rahun….😆😆😆
Pari reluctantly agrees to wait till the weekend and Nandu heaves a sigh of relief.👏
Jassi is sitting at a table in Hotel Seashore, when they show a man walking towards her, his back to the camera.
J is lost in thought when suddenly, a hand is held out to her and a male voice says, "Good afternoon…..main Saagar Fernandes…"
J looks up…….drum roll……….it is Hiten Tejwani!😛😛😛
Yippee…..i always wanted to see this guy do something besides Kekta soaps…..and finally……yay for TnD!!👏
He seats himself before her as Jassi says, "I'm Jassi Suri".
Saagar: Jassi ji, mujhe aapse bahut zaroori kaam hai….baat yeh hai ki kal raat se main aapko observe kar raha hoon…..
J: (coldly): Kya…?
S: Mujhe galat mat samjhiye, kal jab maine aapka chehra dekha toh mere hosh udd gaye….
J rises up in indignation.
"Mr.Fernandes, aap jaante hai aap kya keh rahe hain…? Main wahaan apne husband ke saath thi, phir bhi….?"
Saagar stands up too and begs, "Please, Jassi ji, sirf ek baar meri baat sun leejiye….aisa kuch nahin hai jo aap soch rahin hai…..please give me ten minutes."
J agrees, almost against her will. They sit down and Saagar tells her his story:
" I live with my parents and grandmother in a small town some distance from here. I studied in Panaji and then returned to run our small shop with it s modest income. We were all very happy; but six months ago calamity struck.
"I was in love with a girl called Stella; we were engaged to be married soon. My Grandma, who is suffering from paralysis and does not have long to live, loved Stella a lot and was counting the days till we would marry. But tragedy struck: Stella was diagnosed with cancer (of course they never specify which type of cancer on these shows!) and died six months ago.
"We all suffered the blow as well as we could; but we could not dare to tell Grandma as the doctor said that any shock might be fatal to her. So I lied and told her that Stella is undergoing treatment in Mumbai and would marry me as soon as she was cured.
"Last night, at the ball, your face looked familiar; for an instant I thought my Stella was back! but I soon realized that it was impossible. Still, I could not resist trying to know more about you; so I asked you for the dance. Afterwards, when you removed your mask, I realized with a shock that you bear an uncanny resemblance to Stella!"
Jassi listens in stupefied silence. Finally she manages to say, "Toh ab….aapko mujhse kya kaam hai…."
Saagar: Jassi ji, aap mujhpe ek bahut bada ehsaan kar sakti hain. Aap ek baar mere ghar chal kar meri Grandma se mil lijiye, jisse unhe lage ki unki Stella unse milne aayi hai…kum se kum unhe jaate-jaate yeh ehsaas toh hoga ki unki bahu sahi-salaamat hai….
J is silent; she is in a fix.
Saagar pleads, "Please , yeh kisi ki aakhri ichcha hai….aap agar apna thoda waqt de de toh….."
Jassi is still thinking. The camera freezes on her perplexed face.
Tomorrow: Armaan watches Jassi as she walks out of their cottage.
