Muskaan: kitna late hogya Naaz.. Abhi tak koi aya kyu nahi.. Tune ghar par flight details to thik se diye the na? 

Naaz: ha Muski.. Me bhi wahi soch rahi thi.. Mom se puch leti hu..

Naazneen gets her cell out to call... But... : O god! Battery low..

Naazneen: ab me yaha last time kab ayi thi.. Years back... Lets do one thing.. Tu yahi wait kar i will find some p.c.o. nearby.. 

Naazneen leaves from there to call her mom leaving Muskaan all alone there....

*********************************************************

Two middle aged women are present in a huge living room in a house. One of them is quite tensed, looking at the door every now and then. 

The other one tries to relax her: fikar mat karo Farhat.. Ajaenge... 

Farhat: kaise fikar na karu Saba.. Pehli baar dono aise arahe hai... Aur sabhi ko abhi hi busy hona tha... Wo to acha hua maine Armaan ko waqt par bhej diya... Warna pata nahi..

The first woman here is Farhat.. Farhat Malik... Naazneen's mom.. She is obviously waiting for Naazneen and Muskaan... And the second one is Saba... Armaan's mom...

Saba: abhi waqt hi kitna hua hai Farhat.. Zyada der nahi hui.. Waise Zaheer kab tak wapas ayega?

Farhat: pata nahi uska bhi... Har waqt sirf kaam... Delhi gaya hai kisi deal ke liye.. Ek do din mein ajana chahiye.. 

Farhat: aur ek ye ghar ka phone hai.. Subah se itni problem de raha hai.. Tumhari Armaan se baat to hui na... 

Saba: ha Farhat... Pohoch gaya hai wo... Bas teeno ate hi honge...

These two families are neighbors... And very close to each other... Just like one complete family... And Farhat had sent Armaan to receive the two girls.

Armaan was looking around for Naazneen... He could have been with her long back... when he was playing with the baby he saw some passengers coming out of the airport... And realized he should leave to receive Naazneen... But just then he noticed the baby's mother had a lot of luggage with her so he decided to help her... Usi me bechara late hogya tha...  

And here he was... Breathing heavingly... As he had come running.. Is tension me ke kahi zyada late to nahi hogya... He was looking all around for Naazneen....

He notices a girl nearby and goes to her... : excuse me.. 

The girl turns... And its Muskaan.. : yes? 

Armaan: wo london wali flight agayi? 

Muskaan: wo to kabki agyi..

Armaan: o God! 

He gets out his cell and hurriedly dials the number... Of Naazneens house... But the number was engaged...  

So he dials the office number... : hello.. Malik industries.....( Muskaan hears that and quickly turns to him) ....Transfer to Rahim uncle plz...... Armaan here..... What? Meeting me hai?.... O hell... ( he disconnects) 

Muskaan: aap.. Mr Rahim Malik ko jante hai?

Armaan: ....jee... ha...( he was not really looking at her... His eyes are moving around the place for Naazneen)

Muskaan: aap unka ghar bhi jante honge..? 

Armaan : ha janta hu.. (he stops and looks at her) Par aap kyu...

Muskaan: dekhiye... i have to get there quickly... Plz le chaliye... Abhi hi... 

Armaan: abhi? (he thinks of Naanzeen) ... I am sorry... Actually... (she cuts him again) 

Muskaan: plz plz plz...  

She is pleading infront of him... While Armaan is all confused...  

She looks at him and thinks... : ye aise nahi manne wala... 

She looks out at the sky and gets quite tensed, it was getting dark.

Muskaan(with fake attitude): dekhiye agar aapne meri help nahi ki to Mr.Rahim bohot ghussa ho jaenge... Aap jante nahi mein kaun hu... 

Armaan narrows his eyes... : acha... Kaun hai aap?? 

Muskaan: mein... Woh... Mein unki fiancee hu... 

Armaan: JEE?

Muskaan bites her tongue... : hmmm... I mean... Unke bete ki fiancee hu... 

Armaan: what?! 

Muskaan: what what... Aap mujhe drop karte hai ya nahi... ( peeche hi pad gayi!) 

Armaan thinks for a while... Then...

Armaan: aap unke bete ki fiancee hai? 

Muskaan: ...Ha... 

Armaan: to.... Kya unke bete ko ye pata hai? 

Muskaan: what! 

Armaan: nhi actually.... Usne kabhi bataya nahi... To...

Muskaan: are... Wo apni sari personal baaten aapko kyu bataenge.. Aap mujhe drop karte hai ya nahi... 

Armaan was about to say something when Naazneen comes there.

Naazneen: Muski koi phone receive nahi kar raha.. We are in big trouble... 

Muskaan: relax Naaz.. Ye hume ghar drop kar denge.. 

She turns to find Armaan standing there.... And gets totally surprised.... So does Armaan...... But before they could say anything.... 

Muskaan: ye meri sister hai.. Aap plz hum dono ko drop karde.. Jaldi... 

Naazneen: Muski ye...   (muskaan suddenly keeps a hand on her mouth to stop her.... And whispers to her) 

Naazneen: par sun to...( cuts her again) 

Armaan now kind -of understands the whole thing... Uske late hone ki wajaise the girls were finding some alternative to get home.. Thats why she lied... And obviously doesnt knows who he is... But Naazneen obviously recognised him... 

Armaan: ya sure i will drop you...  Now he also decides to pull her leg... Gives a gesture to Naazneen to stay quiet. 

Armaan: chaliye... the car is waiting outside... 

Muskaan happily goes. 

And Naazneen slowly follows... : ya Allah.. Ye ladki... Pata nahi kya khichdi pakai hai....

comments eagerly awaited...
