Dawn sifts through the soft lacy curtains of JandA's bedroom. Armaan's eyelids flicker and fly open. He blinks, sits up, stretches himself lazily like a magnificent cat, and turns his attention to Jassi.
She is sleeping peacefully on her side, a dreamy smile on her lips. Armaan gazes adoringly at her for several seconds. Then he slides back into bed beside her and, propping his head on his elbow, continues to stare. She suddenly opens her eyes and stares.
"Kya hua?" she whispers groggily.
He places a finger on her lips. "Shhh….so jao…abhi bahut jaldi hai…Beauty ki mehndi par tum sara time kaam mein lagi rahi….ab rest karo…."
She murmurs, "Tum bhi so jao" and closes her eyes again. He grins and snuggles as close to her as possible.😉
Much later—
Armaan has returned from the bathroom with his hair wet and his face dewy. Leaning over the still-sleeping Jassi, he sighs. Then he picks up a feather (don't ask how it came to be randomly lying about, that's called dramatic licence😆) and starts caressing her face with it.😳😳
At first she just brushes away the tickly thing with an impatient "Tcch"….then, slowly, she becomes aware of what he is doing. Rubbing her eyes, she sits up. "Armaan…yeh kya kar rahe ho?"
Armu: (meltingly) Tumhe jagaa raha tha….
Jassi: Ummm par itni jaldi kya hai…..
Armu: Jassi ma'am, subah ke 9 baj rahe hai!
"What!" She springs out of bed and heads for the bathroom. Opening the door, she is rooted to the spot.
The mirror is covered with hearts and kisses created from lipstick, with a huge "HAPPY BIRTHDAY" written in the centre.
She rushes out, straight into Armaan's waiting arms.😳
"Armaan!" she breathes into his shirt. "Tumne mujhe yaad hi nahin dilaya….main apna birthday bhool gayi…??"
He chuckles and runs his fingers through her silken hair. "Shayad tum apni badhti hui age bhoolna chahti hogi…..!"
"Armaan Suri! Main kya boodhi ho gayi hun!"
"Mere liye toh tum kabhi boodhi nahin hogi Jassi!"
Jassi: Armaan! (kisses his cheek) Achcha….ab lao mera present…
"One minute". He fumbles in his cupboard, then produces a beautifully-wrapped package. She opens it to find a stunning red-and-black dress with a noodle straps and a naughty slit along the skirt.😛😉
Jassi: (blushing) Kuch zyada…bold nahin hai?
Armu: (winking) Well, it proves ki main tumhi boodhi nahin samajhta….
More hugs and kisses later, and greetings from the rest of the family later, Jassi goes to get dressed. "Armaan, aaj Raj aur Nandu ki combined cocktail party hai….yaad hai na…unki arrangements supervise karni hogi…"
Armu: Jassi, wo dono bachche nahin hai….at least aaj ka din toh hum dono saath mein bit sakte hai…
Jassi: Bas ek baar check karne ki baat hai Armaan…uske baad, I promise, shaam tak hum dono saath rahenge….you make the plans!
Armaan grins as Jassi shits the bathroom door behind her. "Plans toh hai Jassi….par tumhe bata dunga toh sara mazaa hi chala jayega!"😛
