Karan: lekin baat tere bhai aur best friend ke beech nahi mere aur meri Fiancé ke beech ho rahi thi.. so ab mai chala sabke liye paani lekar.. baaki sab laane mein madad kar abhi apni best friend ki.. bye..
(He leaves)

Khushi: Hawww.. Kritss sach sach bata kya baatein hui?

Kriti: wo sab chhod na jaan.. lekin mujhe uski ek baat samajh nahi aayi wo samjha na.. pehle to usne mujhe kaha ki room wali baat ko lekar pareshan na hu badme maine pucha if he is alright with whatever happened to usne kaha haa lekin Yash ya Shiv dekh lete to shayad alright nahi rehta.. ab iska kya matlab hua?

Khushi: Awww.. wo sachme aisa bola tujhe?

Kriti: Aww? Ye kya reaction tha Khushi? ab iska mai kya matlab nikalu?

Khushi: you dumbhead.. usne bina kahe keh diya ki he is possessive about you.. idiott!! Tu sachme kabhi uski feelings nahi samjhegi na?

Kriti: What feelings yaar? Bichara.. jabardasti ye shaadi karni pad rahi hai use Dadi ki vajah se.. he is trying so hard ki mujhe pata na chale use ye sab majboori mein karna pad raha hai.. lekin mai to pehle se jaanti hu na wo mujhse pyaar nahi karta..

Khushi: huh? Jabardasti? Bichara? Pyaar nahi karta? Okay.. you know what.. tu na apne dimaag mein apni khichadi pakate baith.. mujhe baat hi nahi karni tujhse iss baare mein.. khamakha mai kuch bol baithungi jo bolne ka mera koi haq hai nahi.. lekin tu sahi kar rahi hai.. pakate baith apne dimaag mein apni marzi ki khichadi.. pata nahi dimaag mein aisa kya bhar rakha hai ki tujhe uske chehre pe tere saath time spend karne ki chah nahi majboori aur bicharapan dikhayi de raha hai.. hadd hoti hai matlab bewakoofi ki.. idiott!!
(She takes a tray full of desert and goes away leaving Kriti alone)

Kriti: kya bolke gayi ye? Kaise hai yara ye bhai behen.. kuch bhi bolte hai aur matlab bataye bina chale jaate hai.. paheliyo mein baat karna to jaise khandani shoak hai in logo ka.. anyways.. khaana le jana haii..
(Screams) Yashhh.. andar aa naa

Yash: (comes to kitchen) kya hua Krits?

Kriti: hua nahi kuch.. just help me out ye plates bahar le jaane ke liye

(He helps her and Everyone takes a seat on dining table and start having food)

Karan: Guys.. mujhe mom ka call aa raha hai.. mai abhi aaya..
(He goes to in the balcony to talk while Shiv gets lost looking at Khushi and mistakenly eats chilly and his mouth starts burning)

Shiv: pa.. pa.. pa.. paani.. paani.. paani.. pa.. paanii doo..

(Everyone looks at him and panics)

Kriti: Shiv glass rakha hai na saamne.. lo na paani..

Shiv: wo khatam ho gaya hai.. give me some waterr!

Janvi: Oh god...
(Janvi and Yash together holds the jug to give him water)
Mai de rahu hu na.. chhodo..

Yash: maine pehle pakda tha to mai dunga.. chhod tu..

Janvi: Bandar chup chap chhod de.. pehle maine haat lagaya tha..

Yash: Chudail pehle maine uthaya thaa..

Shiv: Guyss koi bhi do.. paanii chahiyee.. pleasee..

Yash: Haa Shiv.. Chudai chhod naa

Janvi: mai de rahi hu naa.. tu haat chhod bandar..

Kriti: Guys ye koi jhagadne ka samay hai kya? Yash chhod de naa..

Yash: tu mujhe kyu bol rahi hai? Iss Chudail ko bol na chhod de..

Kriti: di aap chhod do na.. kyu jidd kar rahi ho?

Janvi: Kriti iss Bandar ko samjha jidd na kare.. chhod de bandar..

Khushi: (in mind: Aree aree.. ye jya jhagadne baith gaye ye dono.. aur Kriti.. ge bhi un dono ke saath lag gayi.. hadd hai matlab.. Kuch aur karna padegaa.. shehed.. haa shehed se aaram milega)
(She runs to the kitchen, open a drawer and brings a bottle of honey)
Chammach.. rehne do..
(she puts her finger in the honey and puts her finger in his mouth)
Is it better now?

Shiv: (in mind: hashh.. shehed khaake rahat mili.. lekin.. Khushi ke hatah se thoda aur meetha to banta hai)
Nahii.. teekhaa.. aur doo...

(She again dips her finger in hiney and feeds him.this continues until half of the bottle is empty)

Khushi: Whattt? Tumhe ab bhi better feel nahi hua?
(He nods in no)
Shiv.. aadhi bottle kha chuke ho tumm.. aise kaise ab bhi better nahi lag raha? Yaha baith ke apne sweet tooth desires pure mat karo hn..
(He holds her finger and eats the last honey dip and giggles)
Ab hass kyu rahe ho?

Shiv: Sach batau? Mujhe pehli baar mein hi rahat mil gayi thi.. wo to tum itne pyaar se khila rahi thi so.. mai to bass tumhare maze le raha tha..

Khushi: What??
(Everyone else were looking at them since she was feeding him)

Shiv: Nonetheless I love honey..

Janvi: yaa.. yaa I know.. tumhe "Honey" kitna pasand hai...

Kriti: thank god Khushi tu ruk gayi.. warna tum dono ko dekh kar mujhe ot lag raha tha aaj saara shehed khatam ho jayega..

(Karan enters)

Karan: kya hua? Khushi tu khadi kyu hai?

Khushi: kuch nahi... Wo shahed.. rakhne jaa rahi hu na isliye..

Karan: shahed? Itna khaana pada hai aur tujhe shehed khaana hai?

Khushi: mujhe? Nahi nahi.. Wo to Shiv ne khaaya.. mirchi khaakar muh jala liya tha isliye.. ruko mai rakh ke aati hu.. (she runs away to kitchen)

Shiv: Karan.. chal baith na.. khaana khatam kar apna..

Karan: haa haa..

(Everyone finishes their dinner and Kriti starts picking up everyone's plates and cleaning the table while others sit on the couch talking)

Karan: Kriti.. mai help kar deta hu..
(He takes plates from her hand)

Kriti: n.. nahi.. m.. mai leti hu na..

Karan: Kriti.. it's okay.. tum table saaf kar rahi ho to ise uthake karne ki kya jaroorat hai?
(He takes the plates to kitchen and starts washing them. After cleaning the table Kriti comes to the kitchen and finds him washing plates)

Kriti: pl.. plates.. mai.. mai sa.. saaf kar lungi.. pl.. please m.. mat karo..

Karan: tumse ek sentence ek saas mein bola to jaata nahi.. koshish bhi kyu karti ho mujhse behes karne ki?

Kriti: be.. behes? Na.. nahi to.. mai to bass..

Karan: Shhh.. (he suddenly turn, picks her up and makes her sit on the kitchen slab and she was shocked enough to react nothing)
Finger on you lips!!
(She keeps her finger on her lips and slowly starts adoring him and gets lost)

Kriti: (in mind: kitnaa pyaara hai ye mera Mr Fiancé.. though I was hell shocked jab isne mujhe utha liya lekin phir accha bhi laga.. he is trying so hard to care for me.. pata nahi tum kabhi mujhse pyaar karoge ya nahi lekin mujhe pura vishwas hai ki mera pyaar hum dono ke liye kaafi hai.. tum jitni care meri kar rahe ho usase 1/10th bhi mean karo na to hamari shaadi bohoot khoobsurat hogi.. zindagi bhar ka ek bohot hi khoobsurat rishta.. I love you.. lekin pata nahi ye baat mai tumhe kabhi bol paungi ya nahi)

Karan: (in mind: tum mujhse pyaar karo na karo, I promise mai hamesha tumse pyaar karunga.. iss shaadi ko itne pyaar se nibhaunga ki tumhe kabhi apni nani ki baat rakhne ka pachtava na ho.. mai jaanta hu tumne iss shaadi ke liye sirf apni nani ke liye haa kaha hai.. lekin mai wo har cheez karne ki koshish karunga jisase tumhe bhi mujhse pyaar ho jaaye.. mai hamari shaadi ko kabhi haarne nahi dunga Kriti.. I love you.. lekin ye baat tumhe aaj pata nahi chal sakti.. I hope wo din bohot jaldi aaye jab mai tumse ye baat keh saku..)
Kriti.. (snaps in front of her)

Kriti: h.. haa?

Karan: dhul gayi plates.. tum sachme itni der se finger on your lips position mein baithi thi?

Kriti: h.. haa.. aap.. aapne hi to.. ka.. kaha tha naa..

Karan: haa maine hi kaha tha.. (giggles) Accha listen.. Khushi abhi yahi par rehne wali hai raat ko.. agar raat mein koi bhi problem ho ya kisi cheez ki jaroorat pade just call me okay? Both of you stay safe..

Kriti: y.. yaa.. (smiling shyly)

Karan: Hmm.. Okay then.. kaafi raat ho gayi hai.. mai baaki sabko lekar nikalta hu..
(Kriti keeps blushing and nods and he notices her blushing and walks out of kitchen smiling to himself)

(Soon everyone leaves and Kriti and Khushi are alone in the house and they go to Kriti's room)

Kriti: Jaan.. maine tujhse kaha tha na Shiv is falling for you.. dekha tune aaj?

Khushi: Kritss yaar aisi koi baat nahi hai.. tu galat matlab nikal rahi hai..

Kriti: Oh please Khushi.. ab tu aakhein band karke baithna chahti hai to mai kya hi bolu? Dinner table pe kya hua wo tune bhi dekha aur maine bhi..

Khushi: Haa Kritss lekin wo mera accha dost hai.. bass..

Kriti: Haa Jaan mai jaanti hu wo tera dost hai lekin mujhe lagta hai wo tujhe pasand karne laga hai aur mujhe to ye bhi lagta hai ki shayad tu bhi uske liye kuch feel karne lagi hai..

Khushi: Mai? Nahii Kritss.. trust me aisa kuch bhi nahi hai.. aur aisa kuch kabhi ho bhi nahi saktaa..

Kriti: accha aisa kuch nahi hai na? To jab mirchi khaake wo uchal raha tha to tujhe itni takleef kyu ho tahi thi?

Khushi: Kritss kyuki wo mera dost hai and as a friend I do care for him..

Kriti: ya right.. as you say... (Sarcastically)

Khushi: Accha waise I have a confession to make..

Kriti: finally... bol kya..

Khushi: Chup.. finally kuch nahi.. yaad hai maine tujhe bachpan mein kaha tha ki mujhe kisi family friend pe crush hai.. mai uska naam vaam kuch jaanti nahi thi bass bada cute lagta tha.. recently mujhe pata chala wo Shiv hi tha..

Kriti: What? Seriously? Lekin wo to bohoot purani baat hai yaar.. hum kuch 12 13 saal ke chhote bacche honge tab..

Khushi: Exactly.. wahi to bol rahi hu.. tab mujhe crush tha uspe lekin I was over that crush usi dauraan.. wo story bachpan mein hi khatam ho chuki hai... aur ab wo sirf mera accha dost hai..

Kriti: Dekh.. honestly mujhe nahi lagta wo story abhi khatam hui hai.. lekin agar tu keh rahi hai to thik hai.. I should believe you...

Khushi: Yaar ab tu meri baat chhod aur apni soch.. teri shaadi ki rasme shuru hone ke liye sirf 6 din baaki hai meri jaan.. aur tu kya ye bakwaas baatein lekar baith gayi?

Kriti: sirf 6 din Khushii.. that's scaring..

Khushi: Oyee tu mere bhai ko scary bol rahi hai? Kitna sweet hai yaar wo..

Kriti: sweet.. to wo hai..

Khushi: aay haay.. maan liya aakhirr..
(Kriti hits her with pillow)
So jaa chup chaap..
(Both burst into laughter and go to sleep)

(Next day they wake up by Khushi's phone ringing)

Kriti: Jaaan.. pick up the call fir god's sake.. chauthi baar baj raha hai yaar.. kise subah subah itni yaad aa rahi hai teri?

Khushi: ughh.. dekhti hu.. (she sits irritated and looks at the screen)
Hey bhagwaan.. tera finance hai.. yaar ab ye subah subah mera dimaag kyu kharab kar raha hai?

Kriti: call uthayegi to jaroor pata chal jaayega.. kuch important hoga yaar..

Khushi: agar nahi hua na I swear ghar jaakar thappad lagane wali hu mai ise..

Kriti: ha ha.. yaha baithke sab imagine karte baith.. call utha hi mat..

(She recieves the call)
Khushi: Hello..

Karan: Khushi kitni der se call kar raha hu.. utha kyu nahi rahi thi?

Khushi: Karan time dekh... So rahi thi yaar.. what's wrong with you?

Karan: Accha so rahi thi? Phir thik hai.. sab thik hai na waha?

Karan: mujhe dadi ne jo bolne bola tha maine bol diya.. mai aa raha hu aadhe ghante mein.. dadi se panga nahi chahiye to chup chap neeche aa jaana.. bye! (He hangs up the call)
(In mind: ohh godd.. maine dadi ka naam kyu le liya? I hope Khushi ko shak na hi aur wo dadi se confirm na kare warna meri to khair nahi)

Khushi: huh? Yaar ye dadi bhi naa...

Kriti: kya ho gaya?

Khushi: tujhe lekar ghar jaana hai.. dasi ke orders hai.. Karan aa raha hai adhe ghante mein pick karne.. chal tayar ho ja ab jaldi se..

Khushi: Aree yaar.. wahi.. ladkiyon ka akele rehna safe nahi hai and all.. pata nahi yaha se kaun kidnap karne wala hai hame.. jaane de.. dadi se kaun dimaag lagaye.. jo bola wo karo.. bass..

Kriti: Deaaal..! Perfecttt! Accha ab khayali pulav Pak gaya ho to nahane jaayegi?

(Soon both get ready and Karan reaches. He waits at the gate and Khushi anr Kriti goes there)

Karan: Khushi.. ab dadi se baat mat karna iss baare mein.. kyu bulaya vagare.. kahi dadi ko aisa na lage ki Kriti ke kehne par ya apne marzi se behes kar rahi hai tu unke saath.. samjhi?

Khushi: ha haa.. mai koi baat nahi karungi unse.. gharpe jaate hai Kriti ko apne room mein lekar jaane wali hu..

Karan: hmm okay..
(In mind: hashh.. dadi se baat nahi karegi to pata bhi nahi chalega unhone nahi bulaya thaa..)

(They reach Sharma house, Kriti meets dadi and Purvi and goes to Khushi's room. Karan is in his room)

Karan: yaar aise to Khushi pura din Kriti ko pakad ke baith sakti hai.. phir mai time spend kaise karu uske saath? Kuch to karna padega Karan.. kuch soch beta..
