Armaan is getting ready to go to office. Jassi comes and straightens his tie. (I love these little wifely gestures!š³) Armu twinkles at her.
Jassi: Armaan, tum mujhse kuch chupa rahe ho!
Armu: Main� Not at all, sweetheart! Tumhe aisa kyun lagta hai?
Jassi: (pouting) Kyunki tumne mujhe abhi tak nahin bataya, ki fashion show ki theme kya haiā¦
Armu: (hastily) Jassi, mujhe der ho rahi haiā¦.byeā¦! (grabs his bag and tries to rush out, but Jassi grabs his hand from behind.)
Jassi: Armaan Suri, yeh sab kya haiā¦.mujhe batao toh sahi!
Armu: Jassi, it's a surpriseā¦.ab toh yeh tumhe show ke din hi pata chalega! (plants a kiss on her cheekš³ and speeds out, leaving behind a bemused and blushing Jassi.)
Hectic preparations are underway in GM for the fashion show. Maddy is going mad with the trials. In between, Raj sneaks in and requests him to have a look at Neha's presentation. Maddy is in no mood but Raj, turning on all his charm,š persuades him to sit down while he shows him the presentation on his laptop.
Maddy sits restlessly as the slides display, but gradually calms down and watches attentively. Jaggy, killing time as usual, saunters over to watch. Raj gives him a "what are you doing here" look, much to his annoyance; he moves away a bit to ogle at the models.š
By the end of the presentation, Maddy has gotten a wee bit emotional.
Maddy: Kisne banayi hai yeh presentation, kisneā¦ā¦??
Raj: (warily) Tum yeh bataoā¦.tumhe yeh kaisi lagi? Is it alright?
Maddy: Alright? Alright? I love it! It is simply beautiful! (sniffling a bit) Awwā¦..is presentation ko dekh ke ehsaas hota hai ki maa banna kitnaā¦.kitna moving experience haiā¦..mera toh mann kar raha hai, ki kaash main bhi kissi ke babies bana saktaā¦.!š
He gives a meaningful glance to Jaggy, who looks as if he has just swallowed Pari's long-wear lipstick.š He slinks away while Raj suppresses a smile.
Puru enters Meghna's room, to find her reciting some aboriginal chant.š Taken aback, he apologises, "Ohā¦I'm sorry betaā¦.lagta hai main tumhe disturb kiyaā¦."
Meghna: Arre nahin uncleā¦please sit downā¦.
Puru sits down next to her and looks affectionately at her.
Puru: kaisa lag raha hai ghar aake, beta?
Meg: (looking down) Achcha lag raha hai, uncleā¦.especially Vedikaā¦.I love her! Mann karta hai ki wo saara time mere paas raheā¦.lekinā¦.Armaan aur Jassi mujhe uske saath zyada time spend karne nahin deteā¦!
Puru: Aisa nahin hai Meghnaā¦.umhe tumhare aur Vedika ke saath rehne se koi problem nahin haiā¦.lekin wo uske parents haiā¦unhe Vedika ka khayal toh rakhna hai na..?
Meg: (indignantly) Uncle, jab Armaan aur jassi, Aryan ki death ke liye responsible hai, toh unhe Aryan ki beti ke upar kya haq hai?
Puru looks serious. "Tumhe poori kahaani nahin pataā¦..i think ab hame saari baatein clear kar leni chahiye..!"
He goes on to relate all that happened in GM and in their lives over the last few yearsāArmaan's falling in love with Jassi, the crisis in GM, the Jessica Bedi case, JandA's cancelled wedding and Armaan's marriage with Mallika; JandA's reunion and Mallika's hatred for Jassi; the final confrontation, leading to Mallika's death; Vidhi's entry (sorry guys, she had to be shown for a few seconds) and Aryan's claim over Vedika; the tug-of-war that followed, leading to Aryan's death.
Meghna listens in a daze. She stammers when Puru has finished speaking, "Lekinā¦..yeh kaise ho sakta hai? Meri sis Mollieā¦.wo toh itni proud, itni elegant thiā¦wo yeh sab kaise kar sakti haiā¦.aur mera chhotuā¦? Uncle, are you sure ki yeh sab sach hai? Kahin Jassi ne jhoothā¦."
Puru: (sadly) Nahin betaā¦..kaash yeh sab jhooth hotaā¦.par shaayad, Mallika pyaar aur zid mein farak karna nahin jaan sakiā¦.usse Armaan ko pane ki zid thi, aur Aryan ko Gulmohur kiā¦..aur yeh zid, kab un dono ko humse door le gayi, pata hi nahin chalaā¦ā¦
Meghna is sitting like a statue. Puru gently runs his hand over her head. "I know, betaā¦ā¦tumhare liye yeh sab sunna, bahut painful haiā¦.par sach ka saamna kabhi na kabhi toh karna padta haiā¦main bas yahi kahunga, ki sab jaane ke baad, pichli kadvi yaadon ko bhool jao, aur sirf achche pal yaad rakhoā¦.aur aage badhoā¦ā¦"
He tactfully leaves the room, leaving Meghna to struggle with her emotions.
Tomorrow: Raj gives Neha another reponsibility.
