Farhat: maine bhi beta... (they seperate as she touches her daughter's face..) kaisi hai meri bachi.? 

Naazneen: thik hu mumma.. (turns to Saba and hugs her too) ... Saba chachi.. Missed u all so much.. 

Saba kisses her forehead.. : missed u 2..

Farhat turns around and notices Muskaan... 

Farhat: Naaz... Yeh... 

Naazneen: ha mom... Ye Muskaan hai... Muski yaha aa na... 

Muskaan moves to them smiling…

Farhat looks at her with affection..... she touches her face and lightly kisses her forehead... Her eyes get num... Muskaan weakly smiles back... 

Farhat: kitne arse baad dekh rahi hu tujhe.. itni si se itniiii badi ho gyi….(shows by gesture of hand)…Kaisi hai beta? Aur Imran.. Feroz bhaijaan... 

Muskaan: jee.. Sab thik hai..

Farhat introduces Muskaan to Saba too… Muskaan greets her formally..

Farhat: Tum log thak gaye hoge... Fresh hojao..

Armaan comes up now...: are.. Itni jaldi kaise... Farhat chachi me aase bohot naraz hu... Apne mujhse itni bari baat chupayi...  Farhat..: kaunsi baat? 

Armaan: yehi k yeh.. ( pointing at Muskaan) ... Yeh apki... (stops and smiles at Muskaan) 

Muskaan suddenly realizes what he was to say... She had totally forgotten about him!

Muskaan(abruptly in tension) : aap... Aap gaye nahi abhi tak...  Armaan: mein? Mein kaha ja rha hu... Me to Zaheer se milke jaunga... 

Muskaan: dekhiye aap plz filhaal yaha se chale jaiye... (she holds his hand and starts pushing him outside..) me apko fir kabhi unse mila dungi... 

Par Armaan bhi to kam nahi... Jerks off her hand...: are aise kaise... Yaha aya hu to mil kar hi jaunga...

Muskaan starts pushing him again...: kaha na maine.. Jaiye aap... 

She is putting all her strenght to push him outside but he is resisting... Bacho ki tarah they are pushing each other.. he holds a table for support and starts shouting in a high voice...: Zaheer... Zaheer... Kaha hai tu.. Jaldi aa.. Ye dekh kya ho raha hai mere saath...

Naazneen who was watching all the drama quietly hides behind her mom and starts laughing.

Farhat: ye sab kya ho raha hai? Muskaan beta.. Yeh...  Armaan(still holding the table): kya zulm hai.. Ghar aye mehmaan se aise behave karte hai... Zaheer.... 

Saba: are kyu itna cheekh raha hai... Zaheer to... 

Armaan( cuts her in btwn): nahi aaj koi beech me nahi bolega... Zaheer...

Naazneen(still laughing) : ab bas bhi kijiye bhai... Muski stop it!

Muskaan gets shocked and leaves Armaan... : bhai??

Armaan too starts laughing now... Kabse control kar raha tha...pet pakad pakd ke has raha hai…..  

Muskaan: Naaz... Ye sab...

Naazneen (gets a little stable now) : Muski... Tu bhi na...

Muskaan: ye tumhare bhai hai... Zaheer???

Naazneen: nahi... Zaheer bhai nahi... Ye Armaan bhai hai.. Saba chachi ke bete... Maine tumhe bataya tha na.. Hamare neighbors…. Jo bohot close hai... Yahi to hai wo... 

Muskaan: kya... Matlab tu janti thi... aur tune mujhe... 

Naazneen: to mein aur kya karti... I tried so much to tell you... Par tu mujhe kuch bolne hi nahi de rahi thi...

Muskaan gets embarresed.

Armaan: aur mujhe bhi kaha bolne diya.... Ye bhi nahi ki mein aapki hi ko to receive karne aya hu.... (he looks at Muskaan.... then goes to Naazneen) ... N finally.... how is my little sis.. 

Naazneen (hugs him): fine bhai.. Aur ab to bohot achi... Kya landing hui hai India me...

Farhat: par hua kya.. Koi bataega bhi... 

Muskaan gets silent. She stares at Armaan... Naazneen... And everyone else.... And makes a puppy face..... She was feeling so bad.

Armaan: zyada kuch nahi chachi... Bas ye mujhe janti nahi thi na... To yaha tak ane k liye lift mangne lagi... thoda sa jhut bolkar.. Kaha ki yeh...

Muskaan stares at him.

Armaan: ki yeh Zaheer ki... friend hai.. Jabki i know ki ye to Zaheer se kabhi mili hi nahi.. To bas maine aur Naaz ne inhe thoda... sataya... 

Muskaan gets astonished... Ab Armaan itna bhi bura nahi tha... He knows he shudnt say the fiance thing in front of elders like that...it will embarrass Muskaan so much...

Armaan: bas Zaheer Delhi me na hokar agar aaj yaha hota na... to maza ajata..

They both start laughing again.

Saba: Armaan... bas beta..

Farhat: acha ab bohot hua ye sab... Tum dono thak gaye hoge... Jake fresh hojao... Naazneen... Muskaan ko room dikha do...

Naazneen: jee... ( goes to Muskaan) chale... 

Muskaan was very angry on her. She doesnt say anything just starts walking behind Naazneen.

Armaan: mom i will leave for office now... Kaafi late ho gaya. 

He turns to leave when his eyes meet Muskaan's.... She was climbing up the stairs... He smiles at her... She just stares at him... doesnt understand what to say....she was quite irritated... so she just turns back... and goes up to her room.

Armaan thinks for a while.... then he too climbs up the stairs.... and goes to where he saw Muskaan going.

That is it for this part... Guys please comment...
