JandA return from their dance; Raj and Beauty drop the conversation they were having.
Meanwhile, Nandu and Pari are having a very silent meal. Presently Pari asks, "Nandu, dinner achcha hai na?"
Nandu raises his head and nods blankly. Apparently he hasn't heard what she has said. Pari looks annoyed.
Nandu is trying to remember which restaurant Raj was taking Beauty to. Then he remembers Raj telling Armaan "Arcadia". He thinks, "Agar main time se PAri ko ghar chod dun toh main wahan pahunch kar Beauty ko pick up kar sakta hun."
On finishing dessert, Pari suggests that they dance. Nandu stammers out the excuse that he is very tired and before the surprised Pari can react, rushes her off to the car and drives her home.
Standing at her doorway, Pari closes her eyes and says seductively, "Nandu, tum chaho toh…(giggles)….mujhe Good Night kiss de sakte ho!"
There is no response except the sound of a car driving off. Nandu has already rushed off! 😆Pari squeals in annoyance.
Nandu arrives at Arcadia just in time to see JandA driving off in their car, and Beauty getting into Raj's car. He tries to catch their attention; to his delight, Beauty turns back and sees him; but before he can even smile, she tosses her head, gives him a scornful glance and gets into the car. It moves off, leaving a bewildered Nandu behind.😉
Nandu gets into his car and starts following them! Raj sees him in the rear-view mirror and grins.
Raj: Beauty, zara peeche mud kar dekho….Nandu koi chance nahin lena chahta!
Beauty peeps behind and gives a delighted squeal."Arre haan! Raj Sir, aap bilkul theek keh rahe hain….mujhe toh vishwaas hi nahin ho raha!"
Raj: (smiling indulgently): Dekha, mera plan abhi se kaam karna shuru ho gaya! Lekin yaad rakhna, Nandu ko shak nahin hona chahiye!
Beauty nods in agreement.
At home, Billu is pacing the floor impatiently. Finally he can stand it no longer and chides Bebe, "Kya zaroorat thi, Beauty ko uss Raj ke saath jaane dene ki? Jaanti ho na ki woh kaisa hai? Jisse chinta honi chchiye woh toh aaram se so rahi hain..(meaning Bua, I guess) aur yahan uski chinta mein hamari neend ud gayi hai…."
Bebe: Uff…tu toh bina baat ke aasman sar par utha leta hai…..hamari beauty bahut samajhdar ladki hain, woh apna khayal rakhna jaanti hai….aur Jassi aur Armaan bhi toh saath gaye hain…
Billu: Bebe, time kitna ho gaya hai….zara dekho toh sahi…..
He is interrupted by the sound of a car drawing up at the gate. They look out and see Beauty stepping outside.
Nandu has followed them home and parked his car at a not-so-discreet distance. Beauty steps out and softly thanks Raj. Then, knowing that Nandu is watching, says in a louder voice, "Thank you Raj sir, aaj mujhe sachmuch bahut mazaa aaya!" Without looking in Nandu's direction, she opens the gate and goes inside.
Raj grins and is about to reverse the car and move off when he sees nandu's face glaring at him through the window! He comes out and , pretending to be surprised, asks jovially, "Kya hua Nandu, tum bahut tension mein lag rahe ho?"
Nandu (fuming): Raj, tum jo kar rahe ho, woh theek nahin hai!
Raj (innocently): Kya theek nahin hai?
Nandu: Bano mat! Tum achchi tarah jaante ho ki Beauty bahut seedhi-saadi ladki hain, tumhe uske saath aise flirt nahin karna chaiye….
Raj: Flirt? Maine kab flirt kiya Beauty ke saath…main toh sirf usse dinner pe leke gaya tha….(slyly)aur tumhe isse kya problem hai?
Nandu looks embarrassed for a moment. Then, rallying himself, he shoots back, "Raj, tum please Beauty ko akela chod do….Gulmohur mein uska khayal rakhne ki liye main…main aur Amraan hai na….tum apne kaam se kaam rakho!"
Raj looks directly into his eyes and smiles a crooked smile. "Dekhta hain, Mr.Nandan Verma! Good Night!"😉 He drives off, leaving a helpless Nandu behind him.
Beauty has been watching from her window and smiles to see all this.
Monday: Puru, Ila and Angel arrive home.
