UPDATE 24&25JANUARY: Beauty Ka Dulha

Jassi goes inside the house, seething with indignation. She thinks, "Yeh Bua ko kya ho gaya hai….kya unhe pata nahin ki Beauty aur Nandu ek doosre ko pasand karte hai….phir wo Beauty ki shaadi kisi aur se karaane ki soch kaise sakti hai?"😭

She enters the room to find Bua, Bebe and Amrit whispering intensely about something. Marching up to Bua, she demands, "Buaji, kya yeh sach hai?"

Bua: Arre kya sach hai, saaf-saaf bol.

Jassi: Yahi, ki aap Beauty ke liye ladke dekhne wale hai?

Bua: Haan, sach toh hai….kyun, tu nahin chahti ki Beauty ki shaadi ho?

Jassi: (frowning) Lekin Buaji…ladka dhoondne ki kya zaroorat hai….hamara Nandu hai na?

Bua exchanges glances with the other two.

Bua: Nandu? Arre yeh bhi koi baat hui? Hum nahin bhejenge apni Beauty ko shehr-vehr..bahut ho gaya tumhara Mumbai…..uski shaadi toh, apne pind ke hi ladke se hogi! Nandu kya hamare Punjab ke gabruon se muqabla kar sakta hai….?

Jassi: (desperately) Par Buaji…..samajhne ko koshish kijiye….Nandu aur Beauty ek doosre ko pasand karte hai…

Bua: Pasand? Char din saath kya kaam kar liya, thoda hans-bol liya, toh yeh pasand ban gayi? Jassi tu inn mamlo se door reh…..yeh kaam bado ka hai aur bado ko hi karne de….Beauty ki shaadi wahin hogi, jahaan hum chahenge!

Jassi looks pleadingly at Bebe, but she also backs up Bua. "Theek toh hai puttar….tu kyun chinta kar rahi hai….hum dekh lenge yeh sab."

Jassi gives her a "Et tu Brute?" look.

Then Amrit gives the game away. She dissolves into helpless giggles, and soon neither Bebe nor Bua is able to keep a straight face. Jassi stares at them in astonishment.

Bebe: Tu bhi na Amrit! Thodi der bhi chup nahin reh sakti!

Amrit: (giggling helpessly) Ab bas bhi karo na Bebe! Bechari Jassi ko dekho….!

Jassi: (blankly) Yeh aap logon ko ho kya gaya hai?

Bebe: (squirming like a schoolgirl) Jassi puttar, hum thodi si nautanki kar rahe the….Nandu hame Beauty ke liye pasand hai…!😳

Jassi:( delighted) Kya!

Bebe: Haan….yahaan chalne se pehle, Nandu ki maa ne humse saari baatein kar li thi…bas hum Nandu ko thoda-sa sataana chahte the!

Jassi: (with mock severity) Bebe aap bhi na…..aapko sharam nahin aati, budhaape mein aisa mazzak karte hue?

Bebe: Buddhi hogi tu! 😃Par tujhe hamari acting ki tareef toh karni hogi…..hai na!

Jassi: Par aap log Nandu ko sach kyun nahin bataa rahe…wo bahut pareshaan hai!

Bua: (growing serious) Dekh puttar, hum sab jaante hai ki uske dil mein kya hai, Beauty bhi jaanti hai…..lekin, Nandu ko apni taraf se kuch kehna bhi toh chahiye na…usse bhi toh ehsaas ho ki yeh hasi-khel hamesha nahin chal sakta, kabhi na kabhi aage badhke zimedaari bhi leni hoti hai….hum sab chahte hai ki wo khud hume bataye ki usse Beauty pasand hai…

Jassi smiles at their ingenuity. Bebe adds with a twinkle in her eye, "Aur aaj shaam ko, Beauty ko ladka dekhne aa raha hai…..Samarjeet Singh, Kapurthala se!"

Jassi: Kya? Ab yeh Samarjeet Singh kaun hai?😕😕😕

Amrit leans over and tells her something. Jassi exclaims aloud, "Mamma….nahin!! Armaan iss sab ke liye kabhi taiyar nahin honge!"😛

Bua: (nonchalantly) Ab ye toh tera kaam hai, ki tu kisi bhi tarah Armaan ko manaye….bas tu isse hamara hukum samajh le!

Jassi groans, then asks, "Aur Beauty? Wo yeh sab jaanti hai?"

Bua nods conspiratorially. "Usse maine kal raat hi sab bata diya tha…..wo bhi iss khel mein shaamil hai!"

There is a rustle near the doorway. They raise their heads just in time to see a blushing Beauty disappear into the next room.

Bebe: (softly) Bas Samarjeet Singh apna kaam theek se kar de…..toh aaj hamari Beauty ki shaadi pakki ho gayegi!
