Armaan is still staring in shock at his phone when Nandu, having apparently made his escape at last from the not-too-subtle charms of Saucy Sameera, crawls into the car with a huge sigh of relief.
Nandu: Baal baal bache!
Raj: (morosely) Ab toh hamare baal hi bach jaye, ye bhi bahut hai!
Nandu: (alarmed) Matlab?
Armu: (gritting his teeth) Tumhari best friend……meri biwi….jaante ho kya karne ja rahi hai?
Nandu furrows his eyebrows.
Raj: Item number, Nandu….item number!
Nandu: Jassi??? (finding his voice) Aisa ho hi nahin sakta Armaan…..wo uncleji ke saamne item number karegi?
Armu: Wo ghar par nahin dance karegi, Nandan Verma! Wo log kahin baahr ja rahe hai!
Nandu: Kahaan?
Raj: Yahi toh nahin pata…aur wo log humen batayengi bhi….wait a minute! Pari!
Armu: Haan….usse toh Meghna ne invite kiya hai na….
Nandu: Armaan….wo dekho…..wo aur Jaggy car mein ja rahe hai!
Armu: (furiously) Toh ab kya Jaggy meri Jassi ka item number dekhega? Jassi…..just you wait!
He starts the car and swivels it furiously, rushing after Pari at breakneck speed.
Raj: Easy, easy……
Jaggy: (turning back) Pari….wo peeche aa rahe hai!
Pari: (grins gleefully) Perfect! Ab dekhte jao Jaggy baby….main Armaan ko kaisa naach nachaati hun!
She winds her car through narrow obscure lanes, takes sudden U-turns, whizzes past intersections with just a moment to spare while Armaan gets stuck at red lights, slows suddenly and speeds up even more suddenly…..in short, she leads Armaan a merry dance.
Armu: Damn damn damn! Iss Pari Kapadia ko gaadi nahin chalaani aati kya?
Raj: I think wo jaan-boojh kar aisa kar rahi hai…yaar, please…..control yourself. Aise gussa karne se hamari accident bhi ho sakta hai….
But their troubles—at least for the moment—come to an end as Pari finally screeches to a halt before a dimly lighted building. Getting out, she smiles aggravatingly at the car tailing hers, takes Jaggy's arm and goes inside.
Raj: Lagta hai wohi jagah hai.
Armaan: (drawing a sharp breath) Jassi…..andar mujhe kya dikhne wala hai?
