Jassi is stunned by the thought that Beauty might be in love with Raj. She is so lost in thoughts that she doesn't notice when Beauty is leaving.
Beauty: Didi, main aap se baad mein milti hoon!
Jassi nods absently. Armaan notices her troubled expression. He walks over and puts his hands on her shoulders, squeezing them tight.
Armaan: Tumhe yeh achanak kya hua Jassi?
Jassi: (desperately) Armaan…..(she gets up to face him. His hands slide down her shoulders to grip her bare elbows. Sometimes I think Apu just needs an excuse to touch Mona😉…anyhow, anywhere…..😳)
Armu: (concerned) Jassi….kya hua hai?? (slides his hands back up to hold her face)
Jassi: Armaan…..tumhe pata hai, Beauty apni pehli salary se kissko dinner pe leke ja rahi hai?
Armu: Kisko?
Jassi: Raj ko!
Armu: (shrugging) Toh….issme kaunsi badi baat hai?
Jassi: (restlessly) Armaan, tum wo nahin dekh rahe jo main dekh rahi hun……mujhe lagta hai ki Beauty ko Raj se pyaar na ho gaya ho!
Armaan stares at her for a moment, then narrows his eyes. "Toh issme bura kya hai, Jassi?"
Jassi: Bura yeh hai ki tum bhi Raj ko jaante ho aur main bhi…..wo kisi bhi ladki ke baare mein serious nahin hain….aur main nahin chahti ki beauty ka dil toote…!
Armaan: (sighing exasperatedly) Jassi, tum Raj par itna shaq kyun karti ho? Yeh bhi toh possible hai ki usse bhi Beauty se pyaar ho?
Jassi stares skeptically at him. He sees the look, but continues—
"Jassi, tum yeh kaise bhool gayi ki main bhi Raj ki tarah hi tha….mujhe pata nahin tha ki sachcha pyaar kya hata hai…..(softening)…par phir tum meri zindagi mein aayi….aur meri zindagi badal gayi! Mujhe toh pata bhi nahin chala…ki mujhe tumse kab pyaar ho gaya…!"
Jassi is held captive by his tender gaze as he continues—
"Kya pata Raj ke saath bhi kuch aisa hua ho….ho sakta hai usse bhi Beauty se milke pyaar ka ehsaas hua ho….jaise mujhe hua tha…..(running his hand through her hair) …ho sakta hai ki wo bhi badal jaye!"
Jassi's eyes are misty with tears. She sighs—
"Armaan…..Kya yeh ho sakta hai?"
Armu: (intently) Kyun nahin ho sakta Jassi?
Jassi: (hesitating) Lekin Armaan…….(is unable to get the words out but Armu understands)
Armu: Jassi, main jaanta hun ki tum kya soch rahi ho….tumhe Nandu ke liye bura lag raha hai na..?
Jassi nods in silence.
Armu: Main jaanta hun Jassi, ki Nandu tumhara best friend hai, aur tum hamesha uski khushi chahti ho….par Jassi, ussi tarah Raj mera best friend hai, aur agar uski zindagi mein Beauty jaisi ladki aaye, toh sabse zyada khushi mujhe hogi….! Aur finally…..Beauty toh ussi ki hogi na, jisse wo pyaar karti hai….?
Jassi understands and flings herself into his arms. He holds her comfortingly, kissing her hair. She closes her eyes and snuggles her face against his shoulder.❤️
Raj and Beauty are seated in a posh restaurant, ordering dinner. When the waiter leaves, Raj smiles at Beauty.
Raj: Toh bataiye, Junior Jhansi ki Rani, aapka mujhe yahan laane ka gehra maksad kyat ha?
Beauty: (smiling back) Apne sabse achche dost ko "Thank you" kehna tha!
Raj: Bas yahi baat thi kya….? (tilting his head) Beauty, tum mujhse kuch chhupa rahi ho kya?
Beauty silently looks down for a minute. Then she raises her head and looks him in the eye, almost defiantly.
Beauty: Raj sir, mujhe ek baat ka jawaab aapse chahiye!
Raj: Kaisi baat?
Beauty: Kya aadmi sirf khoosurat ladkiyon se pyaar kar sakte hain?
Raj: (taken aback) matlab?
Beauty: Matlab yeh, ki agar koi sirf aapki baahari khoobsurati se pyaar kare, toh kya uspar vishwas karna chahiye?
Raj scrutinises her keenly, then leans forward and speaks, "Beauty, har ladki khoosurat hoti hai…par zyaadatar aadmi idiots hote hain…wo har ladki ke andar chhipi khoosurati ko nahin pehchaan pate….aur issliye wo galatiyan karte hain…maine aur Armaan ne bhi bahut galatiyan ki….."
Beauty is listening intently.
Raj: …..Hum kisi ladki ki feelings ki kadr karna jaante hi nahin the…..lekin phir Armaan ki zindagi mein uski Jhansi ki Rani aayi…tumhari cousin Jassi…..aur Armaan hamesha ki liye badal gaya…(sighs)
Beauty: Jab jeeju ko Jassi didi se pyaar hua, toh aapko kaisa laga?
Raj: (smiling wistfully) Bahut bura! Mujhe laga ki Jassi mere dost ko mujhse cheen rahi hai…usse boring aur predictable bana rahi hai…..sach kahun Beauty…..Armaan ne Jassi se pyaar ka naatak bhi mere kehne pe kiya tha……lekin wo naatak, haqeeqat ban gaya….Armaan ko Jassi se sachmuch pyaar ho gaya…
Beauty: (softly) Aur aapko……?
Raj almost jumps at the question. "Mujhe…..?"
Beauty: Aapko….aapko kissi se pyaar nahin hua…?
Raj is silent for a moment. Then he seems to have made up his mind, for he says, "Haan….pyaar toh mujhe bhi hua….!"
Beauty is staring expectantly at him.
Tomorrow: Beauty is stunned to hear Raj's confession.
