Armaan sneaks down the corridor, finally locating Jassi's ward. He pauses, grins, looks around cautiously, and slips inside.
Jassi is roused from her sleep by a whisper of "Jassi….Jassi!"
She smiles dreamily and thinks, "Armaan…..bas karo na….ab sapno mein bhi mera peecha nahin chodoge?"
Armaan whispers, a tad more loudly this time: "Jassi utho….main hoon….Armaan!"
She opens her eyes slowly, dazedly, and stares at him uncomprehendingly. Opening her mouth to utter a cry of amazement, she is silenced by Armaan's gentle finger on her lips.
Jassi: (sitting up) Yeh tum hi ho ya….main sapna dekh rahi hoon?
Armu: (grinning) Main hi hoon Jassi…..tumhara sapna nahin, par tumhara Armaan….!
Jassi: Lekin tum yahaan……kya baat hai?
Armu: (grabbing her hand) Maine kaha tha na….main tumhare, aur hamare baby ke saath saara waqt bitaana chahta hoon….? Toh main….aa gaya..!
Jassi stares at him for a moment, then bursts out laughing. He looks taken aback. "What's the matter?"
Jassi: Tumne mera puraana chashma kyun pehna hai?
Armaan, who has forgotten to remove the glasses, takes them off a little bashfully. "Yeh poora get-up hi toh mujhe hospital mein itna andar tak la paya hai…..nahin toh tumhari wo khadoos nurse (grimaces)."
Jassi grins and shakes his cheek. "Tum paagal ho!"
Armu: Tumhe sharam nahin aati….Dr.Armaan Suri ko paagal kehta hue?
A sound outside alarms them. Someone is entering the ward. JandA stare at each other in alarm. In a panic, he ducks under the bed. The nurse on night duty enters to check on Jassi. Not suspecting anything, and satisfied that everything is okay, she leaves.
Jassi: Doctor sa'ab, aap baahar aa sakte hai….khatra tal gaya…!😆
Armu comes out sheepishly and sits on the edge of her bed. She chuckles for a few minutes, then gazes tenderly at him. "Armaan….tumne mera purana chashma abhi tak sambhaal ke rakha hai?"
Armu: Yeh toh hamesha mere saath rehta hai…..mujhe meri pyaari-si secretary ki yaad dilaata rehta hai…
They stare for a long moment. Then Armaan takes hold of her shoulders and draws closer for….well, you can guess…..😉😳
And then…..
Jassi screams.
Armaan: (alarmed) Kya hua Jassi?
Jassi:(gasping) Mujhe pains ho rahe hai…..labour pains!
Armu: (looking blank for a moment) Jassi tum….tum phir se mazaak toh nahin kar rahi ho na?
Jassi: Armaan I'm serious! Please nurse ko bulao…..go!!!
Armaan rushes off to find the very nurse whom he had been hiding from two minutes earlier.
Monday: The baby arrives!😃
