Karan: I get that.. I understand that feeling.. its like tumhe gussa bhi hota hai, aur nahi bhi hota, bura bhi lagta hai aur nahi bhi lagta, darr bhi lagta hai aur nahi bhi lagta.. khushi, dukh, chain, gussa, sense of freedom restlessness.. sab kuch hota bhi hai aur nahi bhi hota.. everything is messed up.. aur samajh aata hai to bass itna ki kuch to uljhan hai.. deepshit!

(She looks at him as he explains that feeling)

Kriti: Exactly.. that's.. that's exactly how I feel.. in deepshit! Par.. how do you know?

Karan: Guilty pleasures.. that's exactly how I felt jab mera dimaag aur dil wo diary padhne aur na padhne mein fight kar raha tha.. I am guilty as charged Krits.. par mai tumhe apni life mein permanent karna chahta tha.. I was desperate.. Sameer ko lekar mere doubts clear ho chuke the par hamare beech koi positive progress nahi thi.. I did what I had to.. and I am sorry for what I did..

Kriti: (she smiles understanding) it's ok

Karan: (shocked, looks at her instead of road) kya kaha tumne?

Kriti: maine kaha it's ok.. even I understand what you were going through.. you know.. with Meethie around agar mujhe bhi aapki diary milti to who knows mai bhi kuch pages chhan leti..

Karan: Thank god I don't write.. (both giggle) Thank you for understanding.. (She smiles and nods assuringly) Waise mujhe ek doubt hai

Kriti: kya?

Karan: Now that we know ke we are stuck with each other for rest of our lives, hamare beech kabhi bhi jhagda ya difference of opinion hoga tab tum aise hi baat band karne wali ho kya?

Kriti: Depends.. kitna serious jhagda hai..

Karan: Yaar next time please thappad wappad maar diya karo and get this anger done with.. ye silent treatment is a horrible horrible punishment!

Kriti: I will try my best.. (laughs and he giggles too)

(Slowly she falls asleep. In Janvi's car, she felt sleepy and everyone else was sleepy so Khushi volunteers to drive. Getting bored, she calls Kriti and connects phone to her earphones. Kriti was sleeping so Karan picks up)

Karan: Haa Khushi bol

Khushi: Sorry tujhe lag gaya kya? Mai Kriti ko.. (she checks number) are ye to Kriti ka hi number hai

Karan: Haa par wo so rahi hai.. bolna kya baat hai?

Khushi: Yaar same problem.. yaha bhi sab so rahe hai..

Karan: Jannu se baatein karna

Khushi: di bhi so gayi

Karan: Whattt? Wasn't she.. driving? So gayi?

Khushi: Aree matlab di ko bohot neend aa rahi thi isliye I am driving

Karan: Accha waise.. sahi hai phir..

Khushi: tum darr gaye the naa? (Laughs)

Karan: of course dude.. last I checked she was driving aur tu bolti hai wo so gayi.. kya matlab ab..

Khushi: in logo ko itni neend kaha se aati hai yaar?

Karan: ab har koi tere jaisa kath ka ullu to hota nahi hai naa..

Khushi: tu to hai naa.. bass phir.. accha sun na

Karan: hmm?

Khushi: Night Icecream? Sirf hum dono?

Karan: kitna time ho gaya last time gaye thee.. let's do it! Yaha pe paas mein... Rajat Dhaba hai.. waha mil jayegi

Khushi: perfect.. meet you there
(Call disconnected)

Karan: acctuly I know! Let's do it!! It's being Soo long!!

(They stop at the dhaba around 1:30 am. It was winter beginning on a highway, making its chilly breeze even more intense. They go to Dhaba and order icecream shivering with cold and laugh looking at each other's condition)

Khushi: waise tum dono ka subah ka naino se baan game khatam hua ya nahi?

Karan: bass abhi abhi hua.. (giggles) maine kal use gusse mein keh to diya tha ki mai usase pyaar karta hu par ab mujhe samajh nahi aa raha mai use I love you kaise kahu..

Khushi: What? Abhi tak kaha hi nahi?

Karan: Nahi yaar.. bedroom mein baithe baithe kehne mein kya maza hai? Mujhe karna hai uske liye kuch..

Khushi: (winks) aay haay.. mera bhai going all romantic hn.. waise usne bhi nahi kaha kya tujhe abhi tak?

Karan: Kaha to nahi.. but I know wo mujhse pyaar karti hai

Khushi: How do you know?

Karan: maine uski diary padh li thi..

Khushi: Whattt??

Karan: yaar ab please tu react mat kar.. kal raat se abhi thodi der pehle tak mai Kriti se sorry sorry bol raha hu.. usne bhi maaf kar diya hai ab to

Khushi: Usne maaf kar diya?

Karan: haa

Khushi: Woah.. dude.. you need to know Krits apni diary ko lekar bohot jyada possessive hai.. mai itne saal se uski best friend hu, Yash uska bhai hai.. humne bhi kabhi aisa stunt try nahi kiya hai.. please.. ye stunt wapas kabhi mat karna.. abhi naye pyaar ke nashe mein hai wo, agli baar divorce notice bhejegi

Karan: huh? Nahi yaar.. kuch bhi mat bola kar tu... aur waise bhi mai wapas kabhi padhne nahi wala hu uski diary...

Khushi: Good decision!

Karan: Accha Khushi.. do you trust me?

Khushi: Karan? Ye kaisa sawal hai?

Karan: bata na.. do you trust me?

Khushi: of course I trust you bhai...

Karan: to mujhse baatein kyu chhupati hai?

Khushi: ba.. baatein? Kya? Kya bol raha hai tu? Kisi ne kuch kaha kya tujhse? Kriti ne?

Karan: Nahi Khushi.. mujhe tere baare mein janane ke kiye Kriti ki jaroorat na kabhi thi aur na hogi.. hamari shaadi se pehle.. shaadi chhod, jis din dadi ne mujhe Kriti ke saath Cafe mein dekha tha aur ye sab baat shuru hui, uss din bhi hum waja tero baat kar rahe the.. tu pareshan thi isliye mai usase baat kar raha tha.. tu jab se college shuru hua hai almost tab se pareshan hi lag rahi hai.. kuch chhupa rahi hai.. aur mujhe kuch pata nahi hai..

Khushi: Chhod na Karan.. teri abhi abhi shaadi hui hai.. Ye samay Kriti ke saath tera rishta jodne ka hai.. I am finee.. I promise..

Karan: Maine itne din se kuch nahi kaha Khushi kyuki mujhe pata hai jo bhi baat hai Kriti jaanti hai aur wo handle kar rahi hai.. I trust her, I trust you.. Mujhe pata hai tum log khud handle kar bhi loge.. but you have to know, meri shaadi, Kriti ya iss duniya ki koi bhi baat mujhe puri tarah khush nahi rakh sakti jab tu kisi pareshani mein, baat baat par ro deti hai aur mujhe wo baat batana bhi jaroori nahi samajhti..

Khushi: Karan.. yaar..

Karan: It's ok agar tu nahi bhi batana chahti to.. par agar tujhe lagta hai mai aisi situation mein khush reh sakta hu.. to I am sorry but you are wrong..

Khushi: Fine.. haa mai kisi baat ko lekar pareshan hu.. and trust me mai tujhe bohot pehle batana chahti thi par nahi bata paayi.. na jane kyu kuch cheeze undercover hi acchi hoti hai.. but I do understand ke tera wo sab janane ka pura haq hai.. par abhi nahi..

Karan: matlab?

Khushi: Matlab mai tujhe sab bata dungi par iss trip ke baad.. iss trip mein mujhe koi stress nahi chahiye hai.. its my 18th birthday and I want to celebrate it..

Karan: matlab stress wali baat hai?

Khushi: Ab wo.. depends.. tu stress samjhega to hai, nahi samjhega to nahi hai.. aur jo bhi hai mai tujhe bata dungi, ok?

Karan: Promise?

Khushi: Pakka Promise! Lekin tujhe bhi ek promise karna padega

Karan: kya?

Khushi: ki jab tak trip chalu hai tu na uss baare mein sochega na kisi ko kuch puchega.. aur Kriti.. uspe focus karega.. mujhpe nahi.. use wo baat bol jo wo sunane ke liye bachpan se mare jaa rahi hai.. uske saath time spend kar.. Promise?

Karan: We have a deal!

Khushi: Greatt..

Karan: Bohot mature ho gayi hai na tu achanak se?

Khushi: Wow.. tujhe mai mature lagti hu??

Karan: college aayi hai tab se.. haa actually..

Khushi: hmm.. (she sticks her icecream to his nose, and runs away laughing)

Karan: What the hell! Beta tu to ab gayi...
(He is shocked at the event, holds himself together and runs behind her with his icecream. They have a nice Tom and Jerry Icecream fight and enjoy moments, clicks photos together before they decide to get back to their car and reach Pune airport on time. Janvi wakes up by then and drives till Pune, while Yash keeps sleeping all the way. As they reach, Karan wakes Kriti up while Janvi and Khushi wakes Yash and Shiv. They carry their luggage to the airport and get their boarding passes. Later they wait in the waiting room until their flight is announced)

Karan: Guys kisi ko coffee chahiye hai? Mai laa raha hu..

Khushi: Hot Chocolate pleaseee

Karan: Okk.. baki log?

Shiv: Haa mujhe bhi.. actually mai bhi chalta hu.. akela kaise layega? Jannu?
(She is lost in her thoughts)

Karan: ab ise kya ho gaya? Jannuu..??

Janvi: hn.. ha?

Karan: kaha khoyi hai?

Janvi: sorry.. kahi nahi.. bass kuch soch rahi thi.. kya hua? Kya kaha tune?

Shiv: Coffee legi?

Janvi: Oh.. sure... I could definitely use a coffee right now..

Karan: Kya hua Jannu? Something wrong?

Janvi: Nahi...

Yash: Janvi? You alright?

Janvi: Yaa.. guys.. mai bhi aati hu chalo..

Karan: ok.. Yash tumhe?

Yash: Mujhe bhi coffee.. but Ja..

Janvi: Bander coffee peeyega? Usase accha tere liye kele lekar aati hu naa...

Yash: No thank you.. But I won't mind Banana milkshake..

Janvi: Oh god.. tu aur tera banana milkshake.. fine..

Karan: Kriti?

Kriti: mujhe chai

Karan: Okay.. abhi aate hai
(They leave)

Khushi: Guys.. thodi der pehle Karan confronted me..

Kriti: about?

Khushi: Whatever is wrong with me.. He wants to know and.. I think I should tell him

Kriti: I think so too.. he has all rights to know.. kab bata rahi hai?

Khushi: Trip ke baad.. maine use promise kiya hai mai sab bata dungi

Yash: aur iss trip mein kya?

Khushi: Shiv Sweetie ko pasand karta hai.. nothing I can do about it.. but ya..  maine decide kiya hai ke kisi expectation se nahi par mai Shiv ko sab saj bata dungi.. I can't keep going on and on with this friendship forever.. uske aur Sweetie ke beech jo bhi hai, wo jaane aur Sweetie jaane but if I feel for him, mujhe apne aap ke satisfaction ke liye ek baar ye baat usase share karni hi hogi.. that's what she would have wanted, isn't it?

Kriti: It is.. (she hugs Khushi and holds Yash's hand tightly)

Yash: Yes.. for her.. you ought to do this! (He smiles weakly and joins hug. Khushi pulls them closer)

Khushi: I love you guys.. I'll do it and I promise, I will definitely enjoy this trip without worrying about any future consequences.. its time I start living in present, right?

Yash: Yaa.. it's time! (He kisses her forehead)

(Karan, Janvi and Shiv come back and hand over respective drinks to everyone)

Karan: Accha par Jannu, tune bataya nahi baat kya hai.. tujhe hua kya hai? Kal se ajeeb behave kar rahi hai.. beech mein hi zone out ho jaati hai..

Yash: Ajeeb to ye ladki hai.. Chudail.. kahi isme zeher to nahi daal diya tune?

Janvi: taste karke check kar le naa..

Yash: Are you suggesting a possibility here?

Janvi: I definitely am.. please do taste and check it out for yourself..

Yash: Oh god.. pleaseee iss baar bass bacha lena.. I promise phir kabhi ise nahi kahunga apne liye kuch bhi laane.. (all have fun looking at their fight. Yash closes his eyes, takes a sip and slowly open again one by one) mai zinda hu? (Looks here and there) mai zinda huuu!!! Thank you Chudail mujhe apni bhooto ki duniya mein na kheenchne ke liye..

Janvi: trust me you are not welcome!

(Yash rolls his eyes. Soon after, their flight is announced and all of them board it. Yash was about to enter but Janvi stops him until others are gone)

Yash: kya hua Chudail?

Janvi: Thank you..

Yash: kyu?

Janvi: Karan aur baki sab ko distract karne ke liye.. mera saath dene ke liye.. Thank you.. (he smiles innocently and assuringly)

Yash: Chal chal.. jaldi se andar jaa... jyada senti mat ho..

Janvi: You are welcome bolna manners hote hai.. of course Bandaro ko manners pata hone ki ummed nahi hoti but just.. letting you know.. (both laugh)

Yash: You are Welcome Chudail.. chal abhi jaldi.. they must be waiting..

Janvi: Yaa.. (the go in too)

(Flight takes off soon after and they reach island within 4 hours. Guest house cars recieve them on airport and they head straight to the guesthouse. They reach and everyone is shocked looking at the beautiful guest house Sharma's own. It looked nothing less than a resort)

Kriti: Wow.. Jaaan.. this is such a beautiful place!

Khushi: Hai naa? I love it too.. ye mera favourite vacation destination hai..

Janvi: Wow dude.. we have some filthy rich friends here.. saamne beach and all.. it's just perfect!

Yash: Chudail, beach aur white saree.. what a combination.. waah!

Janvi: Bandar aur beach.. beat that now!

Yash: maine to beach jaana usi din band kar diya tha jab..

Kriti: Yash..

Yash: sorry.. (forces a smile) by the way hamare rooms kaunse honge?

Janvi: haa thodi der aaram kar lete hai, samaan jama dete hai phir milte hai wapas

Karan: Perfect.. so Mera aur Khushi ka to apna apna room hai hi.. Jannu tere liye mere bagal wali room, sea facing hai so enjoy, Yash ko apparently Sea facing accha nahi lagega aisa Khushi ne suggest kiya tha so uske liye Jannu ke saamne wala kamra.. wo garden facing hai.. Shiv you have a choice.. sea facing ya garden?

Shiv: Sea of course..

Karan: cool then, meri dusri side wala kamra tera hoga..

Kriti: matlab mujhe garden facing milega?

Karan: tumhe? Kriti.. we.. kind of share a room, don't we?

Kriti: wo to gharpe naa?

Karan: Khushi!

Khushi: Yeah.. (she stands in front of Kriti with her hands crossed) this trip.. this is like your mini honeymoon Kritss.. tu alag room mein nahi rehne wali... Get that straight!

Kriti: (giggles and whispers to her) I know.. masti kar rahi hu..

Khushi: tu bhi naa.. jao guys sab apne apne room mein..
(Karan and Khushi show everyone their rooms and then go to their own. Kriti opens their room and is shocked to see a huge photo both of them right above their bed. It was one of the photo they clicked on their wedding day as the photographer asked them to pose romantically)

Kriti: Whatt.. hamari shaadi ki photo? Yaha??

Karan: Haa.. actually iss room mein meri saari favourite memories ki photos hai.. not just on walls.. I have stocked them all up in an album.. aur wall pe unme se gine chune best wale hai.. dekhna chahogi?

Kriti: Of course.. pleasee...

Karan: (takes out album) Ye dekho.. so many amazing memories.. (turning pages one after the other)

Kriti: lekin in sab meim se wall ke liye choose kaise kiye photos?
