After quite a few hours, the GM gang is finally out of the maze. JandA look tousled and flustered—evidently they made full use of their time alone!😉☺️
Ashish is now crying in Nazneen's arms. Jassi rushes to take him. She makes little soothing noises to him, "Sorry, beta…..sorry, kuch zyada hi time lag gaya….."
Armaan looks around. "Vedika kahaan hai?"
Neha: Main bhi whi dekh rahi hun….Nikki bhi uske saath thi…..
Ruby mom: Armaan, wo dono uss ride pe jaane ke liye keh rahi thi….maine manaa kar diya, yeh keh kar ki ye ride bachchon ke liye nahin hai…..I hope wo dono naraaz hoke kahin door na ghoom rahi ho….
Armaan mutters "Damn!" under his breath and rushes off to look for the little girls; Raj quickly joins him. Jassi is still holding Ashish, but there is concern on her face.
After a few minutes they finally locate Vedika and Nikki in a vat of balls. The two are coolly unconcerned about the worry they have caused.
Nikki: (giggling) Raj uncle….dekho yahaan kitna mazaa aa raha hai…..hum log pehle slide se neeche aaye aur ab itni saari balls mein humse khada bhi nahin hoya ja raha hai!
Raj wades in and lifts her in his arms. "Princess, aise bina bataye nahin jaate…jaante ho Mummy kitni worried thi?"
Nikki looks wide-eyed at him and says sorry. He hands her to Neha, who has scurried over, the tension on her face relaxing as she sees her dear daughter safe and sound. Neha takes hold of both the girls and leads them to where a relieved-looking Jassi is standing with the Gulmohur gang.
Left by themselves near the vat, Armaan and Raj exchange meaningful glances.
Raj: (raising his eyebrows) Toh bol….chale?
Armaan: (grinning) Chaloooooo!!!!
Both simultaneously give a war-hoop and dive into the vat….much to the consternation of the children who are inside. The two grown men are acting like a couple of truant schoolboys.😛 Jassi stalks over and glares at them.
Jassi: Armaan! Raj! Grow up! Saare log tumhe dekh rahe hai!
Raj: Rani of Jhansi, tum bhi andar aa jao…phir tum nahin dekh paogi ki hume kaun dekh raha hai!
Jassi: No thanks!Main yahan se ja rahi hun…taaki dun dono mujhe embarrass na kar sako!
She walks away, her head held high. Neha gives Raj a disdainful glance and joins her.
Armaan stands up, looking very yummy with his hair all tousled.😳 Raj stands up too, a ball bouncing off his head in the process.
An attendant comes over and with icy politeness informs them that the vat is only for children below 12 years, and can they please leave?😆😆
Blushing red, the two men stumble out and look at each other.
Armaan: Kya tu bhi wahi soch raha hai jo main soch raha hun?
Raj: Hume un dono ko dhoond kar…..
Armu: ….Manana chahiye……
Raj: Par kaise?
Armu thinks for a moment. Then a slow smile crosses his face. He tells his plan top Raj, and they both grin conspiratorially.
Jassi is sitting with Neha at a cosy caf table, Ashish on her lap. She looks around but can't see either of them anywhere.
Jassi: Neha, tum order place karo…main zaraa dekhu ki wo dono uss jagah se nile bhi hai ki nahin…..
Neha nods. Jassi wanders towards the vat but can see no Armu anywhere. Looking concerned, she turns around….and then gets a jolt.
A burly Mickey Mouse has lifted her into his arms, and is chuckling at her. She tries in vain to free herself.
(Chi chweet…reminds me of the Carnival of France where those giant men swooped down in Mona and lifted her up!😃)
She calls out to Neha, who hears and tries to come to her rescue…but her path
is stopped by a huge Donald Duck.
Jassi: Yeh kya badtameezi hai……I don't like this!
Undeterred, Mickey gives her a big sloppy kiss. Jassi looks around furiously and sees Nandu laughing away.
Jassi: Tu wahaan khada khada kya kar raha hai…..mujhe bacha na!
Nandu: Par yeh toh tera personal matter hai na…main beech mein kaise aa sakta hun!
Jassi: Personal matter? Bhala iss bade-se choohe se mera kya personal matter ho sakta hai?
Mickey: Shayad is choohe se apne kabhi shaadi kit hi, Mrs. Jasmeet Suri?
Jassi: (gasping) Armaan?
He takes off his mask and blows a kiss at her. Donald does the same; Neha finds Raj grinning lovingly at her.😃
Armu: Aakhir choohe bhi insaan hote hai😕😆….kya tum iss mouse se ek jadoo ki jhappi nahin le sakti?
Jassi grins and complies readily with his suggestion.😉😳
