despite feeling undeniably attracted to zaib, mishty still holds to her intention to remain engaged to karthik. she tells him that they should all leave dubai.
despite all her intentions to keep zaib at arm's length, kripa's still hanging out with zaib. she is still yelling that he should leave them all alone. zaib taunts her about having loved angad so much so that now she's attracted to him, zaib, despite her being a married woman. in a scene like with mishty yesterday, he leans in to seduce her, but she runs away in disgust. as kripa turns to leave, her hair gets caught in that "5" locket hanging on zaib's chain. zaib uses this as an excuse to tell her that she won't be able to leave him even if she wants to. but that he will be able to break off and leave whenever he wants to.
then we are treated to a tete-a-tete of the gang of stupids that is filled with underlying currents and yucky innuendoes. 🤢karthik is wondering how to tell prithvi about kripa chasing zaib. when kripa walks in, prithvi asks her where she's been. kripa says that she was chasing mishty because mishty had gone missing - while shopping. this makes karthik perk up his nasty ears. he says when people get tired of shopping, that they go sight-seeing - to the beach, on a boatride! both mishty and kripa look startled! mishty says that they should leave dubai, and kripa's the only one who has a problem with it! since she is outnumbered, the stupids break to pack for home. mishty tells kripa she should pack carefully, and not leave anything behind as an excuse to return to dubai!
prithvi walks into their suite, troubled and uneasy. he knows that in all this time, he has not made any headway with his goal to make kripa love him. he wishes desperately that falling in love with someone could be learnt and taught just like learning a sport can be taught. then he would make kripa fall in love with him and he would be so happy. he actually made me feel sorry for prithvi.😕 but then he walks to his wife for some comfort. kripa is fast asleep over a book, where she has written "angad == zaib??" in the margins! there is then a shot of prithvi's eyes shown above the edge of the book and we can see that the mad devil who stabbed josh is back, or maybe he never went away!😡
mishty's out window shopping at the airport - do these people find nothing more interesting to do?? as she walks away, a little boy runs up to her with bags of stuff that she's been admiring. the little boy runs away, but before she can wonder for too long about who has bought her the stuff, zaib walks up from behind her. she wants to refuse these gifts from zaib. but he leans into her again, locks his eyes with hers and whispers at her lips, "you should always have everything that you want. please don't say no.". as you can imagine, mishty's reduced to a stuttering pool again! there is some very real chemistry here. 😛
of course, nosy kripa has seen this and immediately starts chasing zaib. 🤢 he's at a perfume shop admiring a perfume that angad used to like. she pounces on this as if it helps establish for sure that zaib is angad and gifts the perfume to zaib-angad. zaib says he's allergic to perfume and return-gifts the perfume back to her! 😆 kripa is left with a frown. zaib sees a mishty who looks troubled at his having gifted kripa perfume. -esther
