Suacy Surveen….oops Sameera😉….sways seductively to the Himesh Reshamiya version of Mehbooba mehbooba. The men applaud vociferously and raise their glasses. Armaan grins at Raj and Nandu, who are blinking rather dazedly. Clearly, Raj is too drunk already while Nandu is getting there.
Sameera dances closer to the group which includes these three, and makes a beeline for Armaan. He smiles indulgently but shakes his head, indicating his other friends. She pouts and winks before moving on to them.
Pari, watching all this from the window, has her mouth wide open. She hisses to Jaggy, "Camera, camera…!"
He hands it to her. She is just about to focus it when her phone rings again. She groans and picks it up.
Pari: Meg, jaldi bolo na kya karna hai….main yahaan Armaan ki harkaton ki video recording kar rahi hun!
Meghna has the speaker phone on at her end, and the three aggrieved wives are gathered around it. At the mention of "video", Neha groans and shakes her head. Jassi signals to her to be quiet and wildly indicates to Meg to stop Pari somehow.
Meg: (nodding at Jassi) Pari, tum video recording bhool jao….ab tum wahi record bologi jo main bataungi!
She tells her something, at the mention of which Pari gives a squeal of dismay and shakes her head rapidly. "No no noooooo Megs…..Armaan toh mujhe maar hi daalega….jaanti ho na, wo mujhe tolerate nahin kar sakta!"
Meg: Pari, don't worry (hey, that rhymes!😆)….wo tumhe kuch nahin kahega….kehna ka hosh hi nahin hoga uske paas…and mind you, tumne agar mera ye kaam kar diya toh main apne Cosmic Healing Center ka inauguration tumhi se karvaungi….just imagine, Pari Kapadia cutting the red ribbon……
Pari is lost in a daydream of being the centre of media attention, flashbulbs all around her, as she opens the portals of Meghna's dream project, a Cheshire cat grin pasted on her face. She is rudely interrupted by Meg, who is impatiently saying, "Pariiiii….can you hear me?"
Pari: (somewhat absently) Errr….hmmm…haan Megs, main wahi karungi jo tumne bataya….ok, talk to you later.
Meg puts the phone down and sighs. "I hope wo sab kuch theek kare."
Sameera has now turned her attention back to Armaan and is trying to put her arms around him. He smiles again and gently disentangles her arms. Nandu, meanwhile, is grinning rather stupidly (and very drunkenly) at her. She chuckles and ruffles his hair, sending him to heaven for a few moments.
A friend exclaims, "What a beauty…."
Nandu suddenly seems to have been jerked into sobriety. He looks at Armaan in dismay. "Beauty! Agar usse pata chal gaya toh?"
Raj: Don't worryyyyy….unhe kkkuch pata nnnnahin chaleggga…..
At that very moment, there is a resounding crash. All the patrons spring to their feet. The music stops. Sameera freezes in the middle of her gyrations. All eyes turn towards the source of disturbance….or rather, sources…who have fallen in from the window.
Two black-masked figures get to their feet nervously. Armaan looks at them in puzzlement. Then he approaches them with narrowed eyes. Facing the female one, he pulls of the mask, and stops short in shock.
"Pari!!"😃
