Armaan is in his office, clearing some things from his desk. In the process, his hand knocks over a photograph of Jassi on his desk. He immediately picks it up and gazes at it. It is a snap of the days when they were dating on the sly when she had to pretend to the Snoberois' bahu. Jassi is in a pink shirt with jeans. They are sitting on a park bench, Armaan with his arm around her, staring adoringly at her. 😳😳😳
Flashback:
JandA are on the park bench, when Jassi pushes him away. "Armaan, hum public place mein kyun mil rahe hain? Agar kissi ne dekh liya toh?"
Armu: (pouting and snuggling closer to her): Jasssssii!! Ab mujhse aur intezaar nahin hota! Main apne pyaar se chhup-chhup ke milna nahin chahta…..tum Raghav se baat kab karogi?
J: Maine uska phone try kiya, Armaan, par lagta hai who thoda busy hai…main usse aaram se saari baatein samjhaungi….
A: Aaram! I like that! Yahan meri neendein udd gayi hai, aur ma'am ko aaram soojh raha hai….!
J: Oh please Armaan…thoda patience rakho! I'm sure main jaise hi Raghav ko sab bataungi, wo samajh jayega aur khud hamari help karega! Wo bahut understanding hai…
A: (gazing limpidly at her with his puppy-dog expression😳) Jassi, I know ki wo bahut achcha insaan hai…par tum merit oh kabhi aisi tareef nahin karti!
J: (slyly) Kya baat hai Armaan sir….(opening her eyes wide)…Jealous…!?
Armu goes "Naaw!" and turns his face away. Jassi keeps on smiling with suppressed mirth. But all of a sudden he pulls her towards him and stares smoulderingly at her.
"Jassi", he whispers huskily, "yeh naatak tum kissi ki jaan bachaane ke liye kar rahi ho….lekin yeh mat bhoolna, ki agar yeh agar yeh sach hota, toh kissi aur ki jaan chali jaati….Armaan Suri ki…."
Jassi gasps and puts her hand over his mouth. He removes it, holding it in his own with passionate pressure. They are locked in a mesmerized stare. ❤️
His reverie breaks as Raj snaps his fingers in front of his face. "Kin armaanon mein kho gaye, mister? Abhi bahut kaam baaki hai….aapke peeche is senapati ko hi qila sambhaalna hai….bahut planning karni baaki hai!"
They sit down and make plans for the launch of the new collection in Australia, at Raj's franchisees' retail outlets. Raj assures Armaan that Neha will completely see to the designing of the publicity material.
Raj: Aur Maddy ko nayi collection design karne ke liye bhi instructions dene honge….
Armu: Nayi collection? Par yaar…abhi-abhi toh yeh collection launch hua hai…itni jaldi doosra…
Raj: Armaan, agar hame international market mein apni competitive jagah banana hai, toh yeh bahut zaroori hai ki production mein kahin break na aaye…ek ke baad ek collections prepare hote jaane chahiye…secondly, tu ek baar Amritsar chala gaya toh pata nahin kab waapas aayega…(Armu blushes😉) …..tere jaane se pehle main concrete plan bana lena chahta hun…
Armu: Theek hai! Lekin tu jaanta hai na, Maddy kitna moody hai…..agar usse 'inspiration' nahin mili toh wo collection nahin design karega….usse convince karne ka kaam tera!
Raj rolls his eyes.
Meghna is moving restlessly about the house, since Vedika is at school. Ila asks her what the matter is and she impatiently replies that she is feeling very empty. She says she is going to Gulmohur, as at least there she will have a good chat with Maddy. As she leaves, Ila's forehead is creased with worry.
Monday: Meghna and Maddy.
