Samrat is looking for Gunjan but hasn't been able to spot her yet. Dia sees him anxious and decides to find out what is up.
Dia: hie Sammy!
Samrat: hie Dia.
Dia: Dia? Tum jaante ho na ke tumhare liye main sirf Kandy hu.
(Samrat gives her a watery smile.)
Dia: kya baat hai Sammy? Kuch worried lag rahe ho?
(He doesn't respond.)
Batayo na kya baat hai? Kahi aisa toh nahi ke Gunjan ke saath reh rehke kuch zyada hi pareshan ho gaye ho? Oh come on, bolo bhi –
Samrat: (irritated) will u just drop it? Yeh zaruri toh nahi ke tumhe har baat batayu?
Dia: lekin main toh bas…
Samrat: bye babes. Baad me milta hu.
Dia makes a sullen face which he ignores and leaves.

Nupur is still sitting there while everyone but CJ has left.
CJ: Nupur! Class khatam ho gayi hai. Chalna nahi hai kya?
(Nupur continues looking at the table.)
Theek hai. Tum yahi baithke table ko stare karo, main chalti hu.
Nupur: nahi CJ ruko!
CJ: now what?
Nupur: actually CJ, main Mayank ke baare me soch rahi thi.
CJ: obviously.
Nupur: obviously matlab? Kya mere paas aur koi kaam nahi hai?
CJ: nahi matlab mujhe aisa laga. Khaer, kya soch rahi thi?
Nupur: aaj na main use gusse me keh diya ke mere saath nahi rehna to na rahe. Kahi woh… kahin woh sachi me toh chala nahi jayega na? Waise chala jaaye to meri jaan toh chutegi par wo kya hai ke..
CJ: Nupur, tum sach me chahti ho ke wo tumse dur chala jaaye? Toh main usse keh dungi.
Nupur: arey nahi pagal ho gayi ho kya.
CJ: toh tum chahti ho ke wo hamesha tumhare paas hi rahe.
Nupur: haan?
CJ: arey toh kuch toh chahti ho ke nahi?
Nupur: tum kitni confused ho CJ. Mera to dimaag chaat liya.
CJ: (laughs) main confused nahi hu, tum dono ho. Paas rehke ladte ho, duri tolerate nahi kar sakte. Kuch toh baat hai na Nupur.
Nupur: haan tum sahi keh rahi ho, sochna padega.
CJ: toh chalte chalte soche, I m really hungry.
Nupur: haan chalo.

Samrat is still looking for Gunjan and so is she. After talking to Mayank, she has firmly decided to clear the air. Approaching from opposite directions, they bump into each other.
Samrat: Gunjan! Thank God tum mil gayi. Kabse dhund raha tha.. ab please bataogi ke tumhe ho kya gaya hai? Mujhe avoid kyun kar rahi ho?
Gunjan: Samrat, mujhe tumse kuch zaruri baat karni hai.
Samrat: han kaho na chashmish.
Gunjan: Samrat, main tumhe apna acha dost maanti hu. Kyunki tumne har kadam par mera saath diya hai.
Samrat: main –
Gunjan: please Samrat, mujhe bolne do. Dekho, mujhe lagta hai ke dosto ke beech koi bhi baat chupi hui nahi honi chahiye. Kya aisi koi bhi baat hai Samrat jo tum mujhe batana chahte ho?
Samrat: aisa kyun puch rahi ho?
Gunjan: isliye kyunki main jaan na chahti hu. Kya aisa kuch hai jo tumne mujhse chupaya ho?
Samrat: nahi toh. Kuch bhi nahi.
Gunjan: thik hai. Mujhe bas yahi puchna tha. (She turns to leave but Samrat holds her hand and pulls her back again.)
Samrat: ruko chashmish. Haan aisi ek baat hai jo maine tumhe kayi baar batani chahi par bolne ki himmat nahi hui.
Gunjan: kya?
Samrat thinks that if he didn't tell her now, he never would be able to. And it would constantly plague his conscience. For whatever reason, Gunjan seemed low and he didn't want her that way.
Samrat: Gunjan, talent parade me tumhare gaane ko leke maine Dia se bet lagayi thi. Aur sach kahu toh shuru me main tumhari madad bet jeetne ke liye hi kar raha tha. Lekin meri dosti ek jhuth nahi hai. Main dil se tumhari bahut fikar karta hu. (Pauses) Main janta hu ke yeh jaan ne ke baad shayad tumhe lage ke maine sab dikhawa kiya tha.. shayad tum dosti bhi nahi rakhna chaho.. lekin chashmish, agar tumne bhi mujhe dost maana hai toh dost par yakeen bhi karo. Bas itna hi kehna chahunga.
Gunjan looks at him all sobered down. She had wanted to see if he would confess the truth to her. Now that he had himself told her the reality, Dia's allegations seemed to hold no meaning. She could see truth in his words and her heart told her to believe him.
Gunjan: mujhe tumpe yakeen hai Samrat. Aur tumse yeh dosti main kabhi bhi todna nahi chahungi. Lekin..
Samrat: lekin?
Gunjan: hum tum bahut alag hai Samrat. Kya tumhe mere saath waqt bitana acha lagta hai? Main kisi par bojh nahi ban na chahti.
Samrat: offo Gunjan. Hum tum alag hai tabhi toh tumhare saath mujhe acha lagta hai. Tumhare saath rehke ache kaam karne ko jee chahta hai, aur phir tumhari pyari si smile dekhne milti hai, date pe jane ki umeed rehti hai.. aur tum itni halki fulki ho, bojh kaise ban sakti ho?
Gunjan: (smiles) Samrat, tum bhi na. (Wonders) Dia ne mujhse jhuth kyun kaha? Agar Samrat sach me mujhe dost nahi manta, toh aaj yeh sab sach kabhi nahi batata. Mere birthday ko itna special kyun karta? Mera itna khayal kyun rakhta? Na jaane kyun, Samrat par bharosa karne ko mann karta hai, Dia par nahi.
Samrat: kaha kho gayi? Main toh yahi hu.
(He smiles at her lovingly and extends a hand.)
Samrat: so meri chashmish, friends forever?
(Gunjan extends her hand too to shake his.)
Gunjan: haan. Hamesha.
Just then, Radz and Benji rush upto them and put their hands too on Sam and Gunjan's.
Benji: dosti ki baat aur Benji ke bina?
Radz: aur Benji ki baat Radz ke bina?
Benji: oye dheere bol, Pooje ne sun liya na toh meri pitaayi pakki samajh.
Samrat: chashmish tab toh tum mili nahi thi, yeh..
Gunjan: main jaanti hu, yeh tumhari friend, philosopher, guide Radz, hai na?
Samrat: woh toh hai par tum kaam ki baat toh jaanti hi nahi.
Radz: Gunjan, agar Samrat ko pakane ki tips chahiye to mere paas aana. Bachpan se ab tak iske saare pranks ki list hai mere paas.
Gunjan: tum ek dusre bachpan se jaante ho?
Radz: haan. My bad, oops I mean good luck! (Samrat gives her a friendly punch on the back. Gunjan looks at them, her feeling of being left out returning. Samrat notices it and gives her a pat too.)
Samrat: chashmish, Radz meri cousin behan hai! Mere chachu ki one and only daughter!
(Radz and Benji spot another mutual friend and rush to meet him.)
Gunjan: tumhari behan? Aur mujhe laga ke..
Samrat: (whispering into her ear) tumhe laga ke koi mujhe tumse cheen ne aa gaya. Hai na?
(Gunjan blushes and runs away.)
Samrat: haye, yeh chashmish bhi na. Chahe toh kisi ko bhi pagal bana de! Thank God isne bura nahi maana. Lekin isne achanak aisa pucha hi kyun?
Cut to: Corridor – CJ and Nupur
They are walking to the canteen when they suddenly see Mayank.
CJ: Nupur, wo dekho Mayank. Abhi jaake use bata do ke tum mazaak kar rahi thi.
Nupur: (nervous) batana zaruri hai kya?
CJ: (trying hard to keep a straight face) haan bilkul. Tum Mayank ko nahi jaanti. Koi bhi baat kabhi bhi seriously le sakta hai.
Nupur: haan wo toh hai, Mayank ka koi bharosa nahi. Thik hai main jaati hu haan.
CJ: all the best!
Nupur starts walking towards him slowly, feeling strangely shy. What would she tell him? That she didn't want him to leave her and was only saying that to tease him? Mayank has his back to her and she is standing just behind him. Suddenly he turns and sees her there.
Mayank: ajeeb ho tum. Pehle kehti ho dur rehne ko phir khud paas aati ho.
(Nupur's nervousness vanishes into thin air.)
Nupur: paas nahi aa rahi thi main. Tumse kuch baat karni thi. Par tumse koi bhi normal insaan kya baat karega. Sirf books ki hi bhasha samajhte ho tum.
Mayank: koi toh bhasha samajhta hu. Tum toh kuch bhi nahi samajhti!
Nupur: Mayank!
Mayank: waise mujhe bhi tumse kuch baat karni thi.
Nupur: haan? Thik hai pehle tum bolo. Aaj main generous mood me hu.
Mayank: (flashing his trademark sarcastic smile) shukriya. Lekin yaha nahi.
Nupur: kyun?
Mayank: actually, kuch, um, confusing baat hai. Aaj sham ko ghar aa sakti ho tum?
(Nupur's eyebrows shoot up in surprise.)
Nupur: sham ko? Tumhare ghar?
Mayank: han Nupur. Ab yaha aur koi toh hai nahi hai na.
Nupur: uh, haan thik hai. Main.. aa jaungi.
Mayank: waise tum kya kehna aayi thi?
Nupur: nahi, main bhi sham ko hi kehti hu.
Mayank: thik hai. Ab chale ya mujhe ab bhi dur rehna hoga?
Nupur: Mayank, maine wo bas gusse me kaha tha. Aur tum bhi hamesha mujhe pareshan karte rehte ho.
Mayank: (smiles) sorry baba, chale? Canteen ja rahi thi na? Bhuk mujhe bhi lag rahi hai.
Nupur: acha? Mujhe laga tha ki books se tumhara pet bhar jaata hoga.
Mayank: Nupur, main books padhta hu, khaata nahi hu.
They walk towards CJ, chattering, and then the trio goes to the canteen.
CJ: (thinks) I hope ke aaj sham inki confusion khatam ho. Nupur toh shayad bata bhi de, Mayank par mujhe serious doubt hai. Debate champ ko propose karna aata bhi hai ya nahi?
