All-righty! My plans for tomorrow stand cancelled, so here I am, typing out todays' edition of JandA .
Jassi is standing looking at Saagar Fernandes' card, when Armaan grabs her from behind and starts nuzzling her neck.š³š³š³
Then he sees the card and takes it from her hand. Reading it, he grits his teeth in typical Armaan fashion.
"Jassi, iss aadmi ki problem kya hai? Isse toh main aajā¦."
Jassi: Nahin Armaan, calm down. Mujhe pataa toh karne do ki woh kya baat karna chahta haiā¦
Armaan (grabbing her hand): Jassi, tum usse milne nahin jaogi!
J: Please Armaan, mujhe jaane doā¦.agar who aadmi theek nahin hua toh hum phir kabhi usse apne paas nahin aane dengeā¦.
J finally convinces A to let her go and meet the man. Armu concedes reluctantly.
Nandu arrives at GM and is pleasantly surprised to see Pari on time, waiting for him. She smiles a brilliant smile at him; he smiles back, dazed.
Pari: Nandu, kal ki shaam bahut achchi guzri. Thank you for the great time. Hum aaj shaam ko kahaan ja rahe hain?
Nandu: aajā¦.shaam koā¦.?š
Pari: Haanā¦..aaj ek naye restaurant ki opening haiā¦
Nandu is in a fix since he had promised to take out Beauty for ice-cream.
Nandu: Sorry, Pari, lekin aaj shaam main bahut busy hoonā¦.Jassi ke absence mein saara workload mujh pe haiā¦.main toh shaayad sari raat yahin rahunā¦.ššš
Pari reluctantly agrees to wait till the weekend and Nandu heaves a sigh of relief.š
Jassi is sitting at a table in Hotel Seashore, when they show a man walking towards her, his back to the camera.
J is lost in thought when suddenly, a hand is held out to her and a male voice says, "Good afternoonā¦..main Saagar Fernandesā¦"
J looks upā¦ā¦.drum rollā¦ā¦ā¦.it is Hiten Tejwani!ššš
Yippeeā¦..i always wanted to see this guy do something besides Kekta soapsā¦..and finallyā¦ā¦yay for TnD!!š
He seats himself before her as Jassi says, "I'm Jassi Suri".
Saagar: Jassi ji, mujhe aapse bahut zaroori kaam haiā¦.baat yeh hai ki kal raat se main aapko observe kar raha hoonā¦..
J: (coldly): Kyaā¦?
S: Mujhe galat mat samjhiye, kal jab maine aapka chehra dekha toh mere hosh udd gayeā¦.
J rises up in indignation.
"Mr.Fernandes, aap jaante hai aap kya keh rahe hainā¦? Main wahaan apne husband ke saath thi, phir bhiā¦.?"
Saagar stands up too and begs, "Please, Jassi ji, sirf ek baar meri baat sun leejiyeā¦.aisa kuch nahin hai jo aap soch rahin haiā¦..please give me ten minutes."
J agrees, almost against her will. They sit down and Saagar tells her his story:
" I live with my parents and grandmother in a small town some distance from here. I studied in Panaji and then returned to run our small shop with it s modest income. We were all very happy; but six months ago calamity struck.
"I was in love with a girl called Stella; we were engaged to be married soon. My Grandma, who is suffering from paralysis and does not have long to live, loved Stella a lot and was counting the days till we would marry. But tragedy struck: Stella was diagnosed with cancer (of course they never specify which type of cancer on these shows!) and died six months ago.
"We all suffered the blow as well as we could; but we could not dare to tell Grandma as the doctor said that any shock might be fatal to her. So I lied and told her that Stella is undergoing treatment in Mumbai and would marry me as soon as she was cured.
"Last night, at the ball, your face looked familiar; for an instant I thought my Stella was back! but I soon realized that it was impossible. Still, I could not resist trying to know more about you; so I asked you for the dance. Afterwards, when you removed your mask, I realized with a shock that you bear an uncanny resemblance to Stella!"
Jassi listens in stupefied silence. Finally she manages to say, "Toh abā¦.aapko mujhse kya kaam haiā¦."
Saagar: Jassi ji, aap mujhpe ek bahut bada ehsaan kar sakti hain. Aap ek baar mere ghar chal kar meri Grandma se mil lijiye, jisse unhe lage ki unki Stella unse milne aayi haiā¦kum se kum unhe jaate-jaate yeh ehsaas toh hoga ki unki bahu sahi-salaamat haiā¦.
J is silent; she is in a fix.
Saagar pleads, "Please , yeh kisi ki aakhri ichcha haiā¦.aap agar apna thoda waqt de de tohā¦.."
Jassi is still thinking. The camera freezes on her perplexed face.
Tomorrow: Armaan watches Jassi as she walks out of their cottage.
