UPDATE 4JULY:Complicated loves

😉Jassi is taken aback to find Chaman at their door. She cries out, "Kya hua Chaman, ghar par sab theek hai na?"

Chaman: (unabashed): Nahin Jassi didi, aisa kuch nahin hai….woh…..aaj sab logon ne waapas aana tha na…toh maine Bebe se keh kar, yeh Gaajar ka Halwa banawaya hai….(holds out a tiffin)😉

Jassi hides a knowing smile. "Andar aa jao, Chaman…"

He walks in with an adoring gaze at Angel, who is not at all pleased to see him. 😆She turns away her face. Ila looks bewildered. Armaan and Jassi exchange glances.

Puru: Arre Chaman beta…..aao aao…

Chaman wishes everyone and shyly says, "Namaste ji!" to Angel, who gives a forced smile in return. Vedika is the only one who is unperturbed. She runs delightedly to "Chaman mama" and clings to him.

The atmosphere is strained, but Puru invites Chaman to stay for dinner, backed up by a rather reluctant Ila. Angel just shrugs. Chaman is over the moon but JandA look apprehensive.

Throughout the meal, he casts lovestruck glances at Angel, who steadfastly ignores him. Jassi feels alarmed and tries to divert him in conversation.

Jassi: Chaman, Beauty office se aa gayi thi kya?

Chaman: Haan Didi, par who kuch pareshan si lag rahi thi….aur Nandu bhi aaj kuch naarazz sa lag raha tha….

Jassi looks inquiringly at Armaan. He gives a "what do I know" look. For the rest of the meal, J is thoughtful.

Later, in their room, after everyone has gone to bed (including Vedika!😉), Armaan snuggles up to Jassi.

Armu: Kya hua Jassi, tum achanak pareshan lag rahi ho?

Jassi (sighing): Mujhe kuch theek nahin lag raha Armaan….Chaman ne kaha ki Beauty ka mood theek nahin tha….aur Nandu ka bhi…..kahin yeh sab, Raj ke kaaran toh nahin….?

Armu: Pata nahin Jassi (puts his head on her shoulder)….aaj Raj bhi kuch ajeeb tareeke se behave kar raha tha…usne mujhe kaha ki main Beauty ko uski secretary bana dun….aur Nandu iss baat se bilkul agree nahin kar raha tha….

Jassi: (alarmed) Kya! Armaan, tumhe Raj se baat karni hi hogi……yeh sab bahut gadbad ho raha hai!

Armaan puts hs arm comfortingly around her. "Relax Jassi! Main Raj se baat zaroor karunga, par abhi nahin…pehle sure toh hone de ki Beauty aur Nandu ki tension ka Raj se koi lena-dena hai bhi ki nahin…..aur tumhe chinta karne ki bilkul zaroorat nahin….tum please apna khayal rakho…aur hamare bachche ka….❤️

He slides his hand across her stomach and gazes lovingly at her. She blushes and lowers her eyes. 😳😳😳

Next day:

Nandu and Beauty drive in dead silence to GM. Nandu keeps casting glances at Beauty, who looks in the other direction.

In the office, too, they are not talking beyond official matters. Finally Nandu can take it no longer and says, "Beauty, uss din tumhara dinner kaisa raha?"

Beauty: (with exaggerated enthusiasm)Bahut achcha, mujhe bahut mazaa aaya….Raj sir ke saath time kaise nikal gaya, pata hi nahin chala!

Nandu: (desperately) Beauty, tum Raj ko nahin jaanti….

Beauty: (interrupting): Nahin, ab mujhe unhe janne ka mauka mil raha hai….aaj who mujhe lunch pe le jaa rahe hain!

Nandu: Lunch!

Beauty: (innocently) Kyun, lunch time mein bhi koi kaam pending hai kya?

Nandu: Beauty, tum…

Just then Raj walks in, swaggering. "Good morning, Nandu!", he says cheerily; N returns the greeting gruffly. Raj's "Good morning" to Beauty is flirtatious and raises Nandu's hackles.😉

Raj: Mujhe woh clients ki file chahiye thi, apne naye collection ko place karne ke liye strategy banani hai…

Nandu is looking for the file, but Beauty quickly finds it and hands it to Raj. He looks through it casually.

Raj: Beauty, tum mere saath zara aa sakti ho..? main bahut time baad Gulmohur aaya hun, mujhe zara explain kar do ki….

Before Nandu can protest, they both walk out, discussing the file. He is left scowling.

Later in the day, Raj tells Armaan that he has found out Meghna Seth's whereabouts and they can now contact her. Armaan decides to pass on this information to Puru.

Tomorrow: Armaan tries to ask Raj about Beauty.
