Darshan: Kya?

Siddharth: Jaimi ke saath aise kyu behave kar raha tha?

Darshan: Kaise behave kar raha tha?

Siddharth: Tu usko ignore kar raha tha!

Darshan: I wasn't!

Siddharth: Darshan sab ne dekha ki woh kaise tujhse baat karne ki koshish kar rahi thi aur tu usko ignore kar raha tha!

Darshan: So? Woh bhi humesha mere saath wahi karti hain. It's not a big deal!

He shrugs his shoulder.

Darshan: Aur vaise bhi mein usse baat karu ya na karu usse koi fark nahi padta.

Siddharth: Tujhe pata hain ki tu duniya ka sab se bada ghadha hain?

Darshan: Ab yeh tareef kis liye ki?

Siddharth: Tu usse baat kare na kare usse fark padta hain! Tune uski shakal dekhi thi jab woh tujhe bye kehne aae thi aur tumne usse kuch kaha nahi? She was sad.

Darshan: Woh meri wajah se sad nahi thi. Uska aaj subah woh AM guy ke saath kaha suni ho gae thi iss liye!

Siddharth: Uska sad hone ka side pe rakh par tu kyu usse ignore kar raha hain?

Darshan shrugs before disappearing into the bathroom. He changes into his outfit for the day before heading downstairs where they will be shooting a few scenes today. He is sitting in the makeup room with Naushad while getting his makeup and hair done. Ali and the makeup artist leave after finishing their work. Mehjabeen briefs Naushad about the shoot and he steps out to make a call. Mehjabeen sits on the couch in the corner of the room.

Mehjabeen: So, tumhari aur Jaimi ki phirse koi ladai hue?

Darshan: Nahi! Kyu?

Mehjabeen: Tum usko ignore kar rahe the aaj iss liye!

Darshan: Waisa kuch nahi hain Bhabhi!

Mehjabeen: Darshan, tumhe ek baat bata sakhti hoon?

Darshan: Ji.

Mehjabeen: Jaimi tumhe trust karti hain!

Darshan: Huh?

Mehjabeen: I know yeh thoda random hain, but woh Ayesha ke baad kisi ko trust karti hain toh woh tum ho!

Darshan: Aap ko aisa kyu lagta hain? Hum dono sirf ladte hain.

Mehjabeen: Because I'm a woman as well! Hum ladkiya agar kisi bhi baat se darti hain toh zyada tar hum usko avoid karte hain. She is scared to trust people and share what she is thinking or what she believes in, but with you it's different.

Darshan: How?

Mehjabeen: I know ki tum kya soch rahe ho? Tum dono toh ladte hi ho, right?

Darshan slowly nods his head.

Mehjabeen: Think about it this way ki woh hum sab ke saath bilkul civil rehti hain and tends to agree with most of everything we say, but tumhare saath woh aisa nahi karti! Argument ke through bhi woh apne dil mein jo hain woh tumhe kehti hain. Humesha woh lovey dovey talks pyaar aur respect nahi hote! Ladaai, gussa, roothna manana bhi ek tarah ka pyaar hi hain. Woh apni life se sab ko shut out karti hain because she's scared of something, not because she's lying to you or us.

Darshan opens his mouth to reply, but couldn't utter a word.

Mehjabeen: I know what you boys are up to aur mein tum chaaro ko woh band karne ka toh nahi keh sakhti par ek advice zaroor de sakhti hoon as a woman. Jaimi kya jhoot bol rahi hain woh mat dhundho! Woh kis baat se darr rahi ho woh pata lagane ki koshish karo. Tumhe woh pata chal gaya toh baaki sawaal ke jawaab apne aap hi mil jaaenge.

Darshan nods but looks at Mehjabeen with shock written all over his face.

Mehjabeen: Mujhe aise mat dekho! I know tum sirf curious ho and mein tumhe rok nahi rahi hoon kyu ki mujhe pata hain ki tum Jaimi ko kabhi hurt nahi karoge. You care for her too much to even think about hurting her. Think about my advice! And, gain her trust rather than going behind her back.

Darshan nods.

Mehjabeen: And agar usse baat karna band kar doge toh woh sach mein kisi aur ke saath chali jaaegi!

Darshan: Huh?

Mehjabeen: I know you have a little soft spot for her!

Mehjabeen says it in a teasing tone.

Darshan: Waisa kuch nahi hain!

He scratches the back of his neck.

Mehjabeen: Darshan, tum jaise usko dekhte ho, uske saath behave karte ho, possesive hote ho woh sab meine dekha hain. Apni feeling deny karne se woh badal nahi jaaegi!

Darshan lowers his eyes and scratches the back of his neck. Just then, Naushad enters the room. The rest of the day continues with the shooting.

On the other hand, Jaimi is working on something on her iPad while Jyugal and Hardik are discussing the shoot. Ayesha is reading a book. After a tiring journey of five hours. They meet up with the crew, who has already set up the location. The rest of their day passes with shooting.

The next day, August 7th, Darshan is up early in the morning to shoot the final scene of the music video. He is ready by 8 in the morning. He greets the crew and they depart to shoot the last scene. They are done with their work by 9:30. They pack up and return to the hotel.

The crew checks out and heads for the airport. Naushad, Mehjabeen, Darshan, Siddharth, and Aishwarya bid goodbye to them by 11. They all sit around a round table for lunch. Darshan is sitting in between Naushad and Siddharth. Mehjabeen and Aishwarya are between Naushad and Siddharth.

Siddharth: Bhai, ab kya plan hain?

Naushad: Kuch khaas nahi! Hum sab ko ek meeting mein jaana hain phir, aage dekhte hain.

Mehjabeen: Sab kapde change kar lena!

Aishwarya: Kyu?

Naushad: Yeh meeting bahot important hain!

They quietly munch onto the sandwich they ordered before departing for their room. They all freshen up. Darshan changes into a grey t-shirt, with black joggers that have grey side stripe taping, and a black jacket. His hair is brushed back to perfection. He sees Siddharth wearing a plain white shirt with black trousers. They both head to the parking lot where they meet up with the other three.

The drive to their next location is quiet with a few words exchanged here and there. They walk through the metal detector into the lobby of a five-star hotel. Aishwarya is looking around amazed. She recovers from her shock and starts taking selfies.

Mehjabeen: Aishwarya, behave!

Aishwarya makes a face before turning off her phone and throwing it back into her purse. Naushad moves towards the receptionist.

Naushad: I had a meeting today.

Receptionist: May I have your name, sir?

Naushad: Naushad Khan!

She presses a few keys on her keyboard before looking up at him.

Receptionist: Yes, sir! Please, follow Nisha. Woh aap ko guide karegi.

She says pointing towards a girl standing on the side. Nisha moves towards him and indicates him to follow. The others follow behind. They take the elevator to the top floor. They step out and she leads them to a hallway. She converses with the bulky men in black suits before turning towards them.

Nisha: Aap sab inn ko follow kijiye.

They nod and she hurries back to the elevator. The five look at the men before them and gulp. One of them comes forward with a handheld metal detector and searches them for any weapon. Once they are cleared, he signals the other men.

Man: Go straight and take the turn. The second door on your right.

They nod and rush past them. They let out a breath they didn't know they were holding. They are met with two more men in suits at the door.

Man: Aap yahi rukiye. Mein unko inform karta hoon.

He knocks on the door and steps in after hearing a come-in from the other side. He disappears behind the dark wooden door. He walks out after a minute and takes his position on the left side of the door.

Man: Aap sab jaa sakhte hain!

He says with a small smile. Naushad opens the door and steps in cautiously followed by the four. They take in the modern interior of the office. It looks breathtaking. The color theme is mostly neutral with a few shades of brown.

A dark chocolate brown mahogany desk sits in the center of the room with a plush black swivel chair behind it. The wall behind the desk is made of floor-to-ceiling glass windows. There are three black chairs on the other side of the desk, which look a bit small compare to the other chairs. The walls are painted an off-white color. A small sitting area is situated in the corner. There's a dark brown door on the right side that leads to the bathroom.

They are so caught up with the lavish interior that they don't notice the person sitting in the chair behind the desk. The chair is turned, so it faces the back wall looking over the serene landscape. The room is filled with tension that can be easily sensed. Aishwarya gets irritated with the awkwardness of the moment.

Aishwarya: Excuse me?

She says it with a tone that screams attitude. Mehjabeen glares at her in response. The swivel chair turns and they are faced with the individual they came to meet. Aishwarya openly checks him out with a smirk on her face. His eyes connect with hers, but his face is void of any emotion. He motions them to have a seat and they do so quietly. Siddharth and Aishwarya take a seat in the sitting area in the corner of the room.

Naushad: Good afternoon, Mr. Singh!

He nods but sees confused stares coming from the two individuals in the corner of the room.

Vikraant: I'm Vikrannt Singh!

Aishwarya squeals in her seat like a teenager.

Aishwarya: Oh my god! You are a prince, like a real one?

He looks over to her before shaking his head. His eyes move back to Darshan, Naushad, and Mehjabeen.

Vikraant: Moving on! Let's discuss why I called you here.
