Karan: (in mind: aaj Khushi pata nahi kyu lekin extra khush lag rahi hai.. some mysterious happiness.. lekin I am sure ab bhi use kuch bother to kar raha hai.. aur dadi.. pata nahi achanak dadi ko kya ho gaya hai.. achanak badi sweet behave karne lagi hai.. I hope ye toofan ke pehle wali shanti na ho.. aur aaj kal meri personal life mein bada interest aa gaya hai dadi ko.. mere dosti ke baare mein puchti rehti hai and I don't know why mujhe lag raha hai unhe lagta hai ki meri koi girlfriend hai.. ghuma ferake ek hi topic bass.. aur Kriti.. pata nahi Kriti se kya obsession ho gaya hai unhe.. Khushi se har samay Kriti ke baare mein baatein karti hai.. ugh anyways.. bohot saare arrangements karne hai.. I better look into it!)

(Janvi gives instructions to all the core team members and everyone leaves except Yash)

Janvi: Bandar.. tu meri baat samjha to hai na pakka? Tu Team Security aur baki core committee members ke beech ki communication link hai... Iska matlab ye bhi hai ki agar pure fest mein koi bhi goof up hua security reasons ki vajah se to you will be directly responsible and accountable to me and other members. Tumhara dialogue har committee member ke saath hona chahiye for smooth functioning of the fest aur Celebrity management jaisi kuch committee ke taraf you have to pay special attention kyuki unki security ke saath koi bhi goof up nahi ho sakta.. is that clear?

Yash: kitni baar samjhayegi chudail? Sab samajh gaya yaar.. aur tu chinta chhod ab.. saari tayari ho gayi hai aur security bilkul perfect hai!! No chance of goof up.. just trust me on this!

Janvi: I do.. hopefully sab acche se ho jaaye yaar

Yash: I promise sab acche se hoga ok? Just relax now.. tune itni jo mehnat ki hai na.. this fest has to be rocking!! Samjhi?
(She smiles and nods)

NEXT DAY... THE D-DAY!

Janvi: saamne seat oe jaake performance dekhe?

(They take a seat in front of stage to enjoy the performance. At the Back stage, the entire dance team is Together)

Shiv: So guys... All the best!! Bhool jao hume koi dekhne wala hai.. feel free and dance to express!! This performance has to be the bestt... We can do it! Right...?

Hey are you ok?

Shiv: Nervous ho raha hu yaar...

Khushi: Aree.. abhi to group ko itna motivate kiya aur ab khud hi nervous hue ja rahe ho?

Shiv: ab unke saamne mai nervous ho jaata to unka confidence kaise bana rehta?

Khushi: Don't worry Shiv.. we will rock it!! Let's give our best.. aur tum hi kehte ho na dance to express and not to impress..

Shiv: Hmm.. lekin kya karu.. agar group mein se kisi ne bhi goof up kiya to it is my direct responsibility... Isliye thoda tension aata hai..

Khushi: hmm.. I can understand.. lekin don't worry.. I am sure sab bohot accha hoga.. are you ready? Entry leni hai..

Shiv: yess!!

(They take entry and give a stunning performance. Everyone hoots and cheers. The sound of "Once more" is all over. They bow down in respect and comes back to the backstage. Excitedly, Khushi starts jumping)

Khushi: Yes Yes Yes!! We did it Shiv... We did it!!
(Suddenly she hugs him and he is shocked not knowing how to react. She realises soon and pulls herself back and awkwardly continues her excitement)
Finally.. we did it!! I am soooo happy..

Shiv: (in mind: tum mere paas aati ho to vaqt jaise ruk sa jaata hai.. ye sab kya ho raha hai yaar.. aur mai itna cheesy kab se ban gaya? Upar se mere best friend ki chhoti behen hai wo.. just behave yourself Shiv!)
Yaa.. we did it..!

Shiv: That's... That's ok Khushi.. it's normal.. abhi change karke bahar chalo.. sab log wait kar rahe honge..

Kriti: Jaaaan you guys were soo so so dm good!! Bohooot maza aaya.. it was amazing!!

Khushi and Shiv: thank you guysss

Yash: waise competition ke liye gaana kaunsa le rahe ho?

Khushi: Te Amo..

(As they were talking, two people come from behind and closes Khushi and Kriti's eyes)

Boy 1 (closed Khushi's eyes): Guess who!!

Boy 2 (closed Kriti's eyes): Pehchano kaun!!

(Yash smirks and both of them recognise their voices instantly, free themselves, turn around and jump on them and hug them tightly)

Kriti: Samu... Kittu.. tum log yahaa?? Yaaar I am soooo happy to see you guys.. matlab mai bata bhi nahi sakti tujhe dekh ke kitnaa accha kag raha hai mujhe..

Yash: Khushi, Kriti.. tum dono ka hi gaya ho to mai bhi mil lu? Maine bhi miss kiya yaar in dono gadho ko..

Humare phones ek din chori ho gaye the.. uss din saare numbers chale gaye.. family ke alawa sacchi kisika number nahi tha yaar hamare paas..

Yash: Chudail.. ruk mai introduction karwata hu.. so guys.. ye dono hai Kartik jise hum Kittu bulate hai aur Sameer jise hum Samu bulate hai.. ye dono hamare school friends hai. Apparently ye dono Kriti aur Khushi ke so called bachpan ke boyfriends bhi hai.. (Sameer, Kartik, Khushi and Kriti laugh) and guys.. ye hai Karan.. Khushi ka bada bhai, ye Shiv hai, Karan ka best friend.. aur ye hai Chud.. (She gives him an angry look) ok ok.. Janvi.. Karan aur Shiv ki best friend..

Kartik: Hello Karan, Shiv and Janvi...

Sameer: Guyss.. are you ok? Kuch.. nol kyu nahi rahe? Khushii.. tera bhai aur uska dost.. I mean specially abled.. ya aisa kuch hai kya?

Kartik: Kya? Aur hai to tune bataya kyu nahi kabhi?

Kartik: Hello Janvi.. tum to kaafi normal lag rahi ho

Khushi: ek min ek min.. (she checks his temperature)

Kartik: kya hua? Kya dekh rahi hai?

Khushi: teri tabiyat to theek hai na? I hust can't believe tune Janu di ke saath flirt nahi kiya..

Kriti: Exactly!! Ho kya raha hai bhaijaan??

Kartik: Kritss.. mai kuch bola nahi kyuki meri bachpan ki girlfriend yaha hai yaar.. wo bura nahi maan jayegi agar maine kisi aur ke saath flirt kiya to?

Kriti: Ohhh to ye baat hai..

Khushi: Oh just Shut up!!

(While they continue talking, Janvi pinches Karan and Shiv. No one else notices what Janvi did)

Karan and Shiv: Ouchhhhh!!

Yash: kya hua? Guys.. what's wring with you? Tum thik to ho na?

Karan: Thik? Umm.. haa.. bilkul.. bilkul thik hai..

Karan: ohh yaa.. Sameer.. right?

Sameer: yaa..
(They handshake)

Shiv: Of.. course.. Hello.. Hello Kartik.. (They handshake and then they meet the other person)

Kriti: (Whispers to Khushi) Khush.. ye dono ko ajeeb nahi behave kar rahe..

Khushi: mai bui to wahi soch rahi hu.. (in mind: I can understand Karan aise kyu behave kar raha hai.. lekin Shiv? Pagal ho gaya hai kya ye?)

(After sometime, during the fest..)

Khushi: Waise to mai jaanti thi Samu aa raha hai lekin Kittu.. yaar tune aake to surprise de diyaa.. I didn't expect tu ayega..

Kriti: Wait wait.. matlab Khushii, tu jaanti thi Samu aane wala hai aur tune mujhe bataya bhi nahi? How mean yaar.. ye kya baat hui?

Khushi: Oyee.. meri koi gakti nahi hai isme.. Smau ko tujhe surprise dena thaa.. mai kya karti? Usne bataya tha tujhe na batane ke liye...

Kriti: Ohh aur iska matlab, Kittu ki tujhe surprise dena tha.. interesting yaar..

(Sameer puts his hand on Kriti's shoulder)
Sameer: Exactly Sexy.. bina vajah meri behen ko daant mat.. ab tera hot shot boyfriend tujhe surprise dega tabhi to ye million dollar smile dekhne ko milegi naa...!

Karan: Sexy? Can you be a little polite? I mean ladki se baat karte vaqt..

Sameer: Hmm.. lekin wi kya hai na Karan.. mai najane kitnee saalo se Kriti ko sexy hi bulata hu.. ab ek boyfriend aoni girlfriend ko sexy to bula hi sakta hai na? Waise tumhe.. iss baat se koi problem.. ya kuch to nahi?

Karan: Umm.. Nahi.. bilkul nahi.. mujhe kyu problem hogi..

Sameer: Aree waise mai Kritss ko aur bhi bohot kuch bulata hu.. Sexy, Babes, Darling, Honey, My Love.. aur bohot kuch yaar.. ab ti yaad bhi nahi (laughing) ohh ajd of course.. Chatter Box!!!

Kriti: mai Chatter Box bilkul nahi hu.. ok?

Sameer: Yaa right.. kyuki tu iss duniya ki sabsee badi Chatter Box hai!!

Karan: (in mind: Kriti? Chatter box? Ye pagal hai kya? Matlab exactly kya sochke ye Kriti ko Chatter Box kehta hoga? Mushkil se to kuch toote phute shabd uske muh se nikalte hai.. ab wo bhi band kar degi to kaise chalega? Aur kaisa flirt hai ye ladka.. kaise kaise ajeeb se naam rakhe hai bechari ke.. I wonder ye iss flirt ko kya bulati hogi...)

Kartik: Sirf itna hi nahi.. mai bhi Khushi ko bohot kuch bulata hu..

Shiv: Jaise?

Kartik: Jaise.. umm.. Baby doll, Jaaneman, Sweetheart aur bohot kuch actually.. aur Chatter box to dono hai hi..

Shiv: (in mind: itne saare naye naam rakhne ki kya jaroorat thi? Itna accha aur simple sa naam to hai.. Khushi.. bina wajah bechari ka naam ki dhajjiya uda di.. lekin mai Khushi ke baare mein itna kyu soch raha hu? Kriti ko bhi to ye Sameer kitna kuch bolta hai.. dono ke saath badtameezi karte hai ye dono.. hadd hoti hai matlab)

Khushi: Aur mai Kittu ko aur Kritss Samu ko Mr Flirt, Hottie, Handsome kuch bhi bolte hai..

Kriti: I missed you guyss..

Samu: humne bhi tum dono ko bohot bohot miss kiya meri Jaaaan...

Shiv: (in mind: ye kaise naam hai? Kaunse angle se ye hot ya handsome dikhta haii? Ye Khushi bhi na.. use flirt bolti hai.. khud kaunsi kam flirt hai? Wait.. mujhe kya fark padta hai? Uski life, uska so called boyfriend aur uski marzi.. mazha to mujhe Karan ki shakal dekh ke aa raha hai.. Hopefully he is Jealous!! Seriously.. seriously Jealous!!)

Karan: (in mind: What the hell is wrong with people now a days... Hottie? Kya sochke Kriti iss Sameer oo Hottie bulati hai? Fine I have to accept he looks good and hot shot bhi hai.. lekin phir bhi.. aise kaun Hottie ya handsome bulata hai? Lekin.. what.. what's wring with me? Yaha pe ye Kartik meri behen ke saath flirt kiye jaa raha hai aur mai Kriti ke baare mein soch raha hu? Kahi.. Arpita.. aur Janu jo leh rahi thi wo sach to.. nahi.. nahi aisa thodi ho sakta hai.. I am just overthinking.. aur kuch nahi.. just forget about all this Karan.. bohot important kaam hai abhi aur life mein..)

Sameer: By the way.. behenaa.. kya dance kiya yaar tune.. Stage was on firee.. just amazing!! Shiv.. maan gaye boss.. kya dance kiya tha..

Kartik: Baby doll.. ye baat to bilkul sach hai.. dance to tune ekdum todu kiyaa.. Awesomeeeee!!

Shiv: Thank you Khushi... Guys ab ghar chale? Aur Sameer, Kartik.. tunhe bhi to hostel jaana hoga na?
