Next day morning

Dushyant knocks on Daadu's room.

Dushyant: Good morning daadu..

Daadu: arre aaj tu savere savere..kya baat hai puttar? Sab theekh hai naa?

Dushyant: woh main yeh poochne aaya tha…kya kal raar Ishu aapse milne aayi thi? kuch..kuch kaha usne?

Daadu (mock anger): haan..kal raat who aayi thi…bahut gusse me thi…itni gusse me thi…mera poora ice cream khaa gayi…sirf teri wajah se…

Dushyant (guilty): kya daadu…main manta hoon meri galti hai…magar itna bhi gussa hone ki baat nahi thi..

Daadu: Ishuu ne mujhe sab kuch bataya…kitna dukhi thi woh..mujhse bol ke gayi hai aaj se..nahi..kal raat se who tumhari dost nahi hai..aur uske saath saath main bhi nahi hoon…hmfff..he sits facing his back to him.

Dushyant (hugging daadu from behind): Daadu…ab aap please Ishu mat ban jaooo..ek ko hi mushkil se jhel raha hoon..meri mushkil mat badhaaoo..

Daadu: jaa jaa…tu Ishu ko jhel raha hai? Ulta who tere jaise dhokebaaz ko jhel rahi hai..

Dushyant (loudly): Dhokebaaz?

Daadu: haan..dhokebaaz..Pyar Ishu se karta hai..aur besharam banke uss Gehna ko kiss karta hai…chee chee chee…

Dushyant (getting up, loudly): Maine Gehna ko Kiss kiya? Yeh kisne bataya aapko?

Daadu: Aaj subah ke news me dekha maine..Aaaj ki taaza khabar..he imitates a reporter..

Dushyant (angry): Daadu please…bandh kijiye aapka drama..aisa..aisa kuch nahi hai..Gehna sirf ek dost hai..ek colleague…maine aisa sapne me bhi nahi socha hai…

Daadu: Ishu ne toh bataya tumne usse ghar ke lawn me kiss kiya…bahut upset hai who tumse..

Dushyant (thinking): Ghar ke lawn me? Maine…ohhhhh…ab samjhaa…he realizes….he slaps his head…Ishu sach me mental hai…kal shaam ko unke lawn me Gehna ke aankhon me kachra chala gaya…main bass phoonk maar raha tha…aur kuch nahi..

Daadu: Ohhhhhhhh….tabhi main sochoon..tune itni jaldi apni heroine kaise badal li…waise ek baat toh hai ..

Dushyant: who kya?

Daadu: mera idea kaam kar gaya puttar..he laughs…

Dushyant: Idea? Kaunsa idea?

Daadu: he makes a triangle with hand…arre wahi…Love triangle…tere kal ke 'kiss' ke baad ishu ko bahut jalan huyi…

Dushyant (doubt): Sach me?

Daadu: haan…itni jalan…meri poori butterscotch ice cream bhi uss aag ko bujhaa nahi paayi…ho naa ho..usse chot lagi hai…who bhi tujhse pyaar karti hai..he laughs..

Dushyant (happy): Sach daadu…usne…usne aisa kaha aapse?

Daadu: kaha toh nahi…lekin yeh pyaar hai…chupte bhi chupta nahi..he pinches Dushyant's cheek..

Dushyant (pain): aaaah…daadu…he rubs his cheek…aapp keh rahe hai toh maan leta hoon…main aaj hi apni dil ki baat bataa doon?

Daadu: maine kaha naa…usse chot lagi hai..woh abhi tak yeh samajh nahi paayi hai..usse dard kyun ho raha hai?

Dushyant: toh main kya karoon?

Daadu: tu aag me ghee daalta jaa…

Dushyant: Ghee? Aag?

Daadu: arre matlab usse jalaa…aur jalaa….Gehna ke saath..kabhi koi doosri ladki ke saath….bahut jald usse samajh me aa jayega..yeh pyaar kya hai!

Dushyant (unsure): Nahi daadu…kahin koi gadbad naa ho jaaye..aur phir Ishu ka dil toot jayega..main usse dukhi nahi dekh sakta..

Daadu: arre..tu usse dukhi thodi kar raha hai..uski madat kar raha hai..usse uske feelings samajhne me help kar raha hai..meri baat maan….yeh baal dhoop me nahi safed kiye hai maine..he laughs..

Ishita house

Ishita wakes up in the morning and wears traditional clothes. She stuffs her duppata in her dress and steps into the pooja room

Ishita (peeping inside): acha hua…abhi tak daadi nahi aayi…she spots the aart thaali…she takes it and lights the diya..

Ishita (clearing throat): hey bhagwaanji…aaj pehli baar koi bhajan gaane waali hoon..kuch unees bees ho jaaye toh aap zara'adjustt' kar lijiyegaa..

Sukh Dukh Jhoote..Dhan bhi jhoota…

Jhoothi Moh maaya..Sacha mann ka

woh kona jahaan Prem rattan paaya..

ishita daadi: Sushilaa… (Ishita mom)…yeh awaaz kaisi aa rahi hai? Pooja ghar me koi ghuss aaya hai kya?

IshitaM (confused): pata nahi maaji…main bhi yehi soch rahi hoon..

They all approach the pooja room slowly…and stand there shocked..

Ishita (eyes closed, singing loudly): Prem Ratan Dhan paayo…Paayo…Prem Ratan dhan paayo..paayo…Rut Milan ki aayooo..Prem rattan…

She dances moving her waist like Sonam Kapoor from the movie. She starts doing aarti while dancing in place. She turns in her dance and stops! Her whole family is watching her with shock and open mouth!

Ishita (nervous): aap…aap log kab aaye? Aise kya dekh rahe hai mujhe?

Daadi: tu? Tu aarti kar rahi thi? tu gaana gaa rahi thi? tu itni jaldi uth kaise gayi?

Ishita (touching daadi feet): Pranaam Dadimaa…aapke charan sparsh karke aapka aashirwad le loon…aaj ka din safal hoga mera..she smiles..

Daadi (dizzy): Sushilaaaa…she calls out…Mohan (Ishita father)…mujhe chakkar aa raha hai..Everyone scrambles to make Daadi sit on the chair..they fan her and enquire about her health…

Ishita (getting water): Jal pii lijiye daadi…lijiye..

Daadi (after drinking water): haaaah….lagta hai chakkar aa gaya…main shayad sapna dekh rahi thi…pata hai…sapne me hamari Ishita ekdum dhaarmik ho gayi thi…she laughs and then spots Ishita standing right in front of her..

Daadi (frown): toh…yeh sab sapna nahi…sach hai!..Mohan..iska ilaaj karwaa…teri beti jawaani me pagal ho gayi hai..

Ishita (hand on waist): haaa haaa haaa…paagal main nahi…shayad aap ho gaye ho…

Daadi: kya kaha?

Ishita: aur nahi toh kya…maine itna sundar, sureela bhajan kya gaa liya…aap toh khushi se paagal hi ho gayi…

Daadi: tu usse bhajan kehti hai? Prem Ratan Dhan paayo…aayo! She imitates…yeh kiss bhagwaan ki aarti ho rahi thi? Salman Khan ki? Everyone laughs…

Ishita: ahhaaahaaahaa…jab yehi aarti Gehna gaati hai..tab kaise aankhen bandh karke clap karti ho…aaj maine gaa liya..toh itna hungama kyun?

Daadi (hitting on ishita head): arre…Gehna bhajan gaati hai…tu toh filmy gaane gaa rahi hai…who bhi thumke maar ke..hmmfff….

Ishita (confused): toh…toh maine kaunsa galat gaaya…woh bhi toh yahi gaati hai….Preemmmm Ratan dhan paayoooo….

Everyone laughs again..

Daadi: arre mandh buddhiii….Gehna jo bhajan gaati hai..uska naam Ram rattan Dhan paayo hai..yeh tera filmy dance nahi...hmfff…

Ishita (realizing): Ohhhhhhhh….its okay daadi…Ram ke jagah Prem bol diya…naam toh dono ladko ke hi hai naa…she laughs…but stops as no one is laughing.

Embarrassed, she runs out of the pooja room to her bedroom. Everyone has a hearty laugh.

Ishita room..

She is walking to and fro biting her nails.

Ishita (hitting her head): duffer..uluuu…idiot..gaana toh theekh se sun liya hota…waise bhi bhajans itne boring hote hai…mera waala toh sach much mazeedar tha..Prem Ratan dhan paayo…aayoooo… she dances..she trips over her ghagra and falls on her bed. Her duppata is all over her face.

She is struggling to remove it from her face. Her door opens, Dushyant walks in and starts laughing looking at her struggle.

Dushyant (laugh): arre…yeh kya? Tera chehra kahan hai? Hahahahaha..

Ishita hears his voice and turns and sits in anger.

Dushyant: ishuuu…arre aise kyun baithi hai? Ghoonghat odh ke? He laughs again..

Ishita: mujhe tumhari shakal bhi nahi dekhni…aur tum bhi mera chehra mat dekhna…so goodbye Dushhh..

Dushyant (sitting next to her in bed): pakka mujhse baat nahi karni hai..theekh hai…toh main yeh hersheys chocolate Gehna ko hi de deta hoon..

Ishita holds his wrist and tries to grab the chocolates from his hand. He holds both her hands.

Ishita: chodo mujhe…chocolates de do aur dafaa ho jaaooo yahan se..

Dushyant: arre sirf sound sunaai de raha hai..tumhari cartoon jaise shakal nahi dikhaayi de rahi..

Ishita (angry): Kya kaha? mujhe cartoon bulayaa…ruko toh…abhi bataati hoon..she tries to push him but he stands tall above her holding the chocolates high…

Ishita jumps but cannot reach it. She gets irritated and again turns and stands there stubbornly.

Dushyant: kya hua? chocolates nahi chahiye?

Ishita nods her head as No. she now walks with her head covered by duppata like ghoonghat. She cannot see where she is going and falls hurting her toe.

Ishita (hopping): owwwww..

Dushyant makes her sit on a table and checks her toe. Ishita cannot see what he is doing and bends, thus clunking their foreheads.

Dushyant: Ishuuuuu…yaar…andhi ho gayi ho kya? Pehle yeh apna ghoonghat hataoo..

He gets up angrily and removes the duppata. He looks at her and gasps. Ishita is looking very different. There is kaajal in her eyes, a small shiny green bindi matching her lehenga.. she blinks her eyes..he can make out eyeliner on her eyelids..he likes the small arrow like decoration on the side of her eyes.. a small maang tikka shines on her forehead.

Dushyant again gets a feeling that Ishita is his 'dulhan'…he has just removed her ghoonghat…he is mesmerized and steps ahead..she looks irresistible..

Ishita moves back…Dushyant looks dazed….

Ishita: Dushhhh…aise kya dekh rahe ho? Kya ho gaya hai tumko? She jingles her bangles…

Dushyant (snapping out): Tum…bindi…kaajal…kya…kya ho gaya hai tumhe?

Ishita: yeh…yeh maine socha…main badi ho gayi hoon..aur yeh sab kapde andar pade pade chote ho rahe hai..toh aaj subah jaldi uthke nahaakar..yeh kapde pahen liye..aur aarti bhi ki maine..

Dushyant: ohhh achaaa…aarti ki tumne…he realizes with a shock what she just said..AARTI KI ! TUMNE?

Ishita (casually): haan…mujhe bhi aarti aati hai…main doosre ladkiyon ki tarah show off nahi karti…apne talents doosro ke saamne bol bolke jataati nahi hoon bass..she has an attitude on her face..she pushes her hairs back..

Ishita: hatooo ab…bahut garmi ho rahi hai mujhe..kapde change kar loon..phir naashta bhi banana hai..

Dushyant (sitting on chair with shock): naas…Naashta? Aur..tum?

Ishita: haan…tum khaaoge? She asks cheerfully..

Dushyant (getting up): Mujhe chalna chahiye…main sirf yeh chocolates deke tumhe sorry bolne aaya tha…its okay…main nikalta hoon…he prepares to escape..

Ishita: wahin ruk jaooo..statue!...Dushyant freezes in his place..she walks circling him..checking him out..dushyant suppresses a smile..

Ishita (hands on hips): Toh tum mujhe sorry bolne aaye ho…sirf yeh do 'nanhe munne' chocolates deke..kal ki galti bahut badi thi Mr Dushyant…toh itni aasani se nahi chodne waali tumko…

She stands in front of him..and places her hands on his shoulders..Dushyant looks sideways at her hands..

Ishita: tumhe….maafi chahiye? Say yes…Dushyant blinks his eyes..

Ishita(pinching his cheek): Good boy….hmmm…so maafi chahiye…toh..tumhe…mere haath ka….nashta khaana hoga….Statue over…

Dushyant (shock): what? Yeh..yeh saraasar zyaakti hai Ishuuu..

Ishita (narrowing eyes): Kya kaha tumne? Zyaakti….she drags him hoding his hand...aaj toh main tumhe dikhaati hoon…Zyaakti kya hai…mujhse pangaa bahut bhaari padega tumhe..zindagi bhar pachtaooge tum…main chodoongi nahi tumhe..

Dushyant (softly): sach…kya tum zindagi bhar mera saath nibhaaogi? Bolo..

Ishita stops walking and turns to look at Dushyant. He is smiling and looking at her. He raises his eyebrwos asking the question again…Ishita doesn't know but automatically she wants to answer 'Yes' to him.

She in a trance opens her mouth to say 'haan' when they are interrupted by a voice.

Gehna: arre Dush..tum yahan…neeche chalo..naashta ready hai..

The moment is lost and Ishita gets irritated at Gehna's voice.

Ishita (irritated): haan…main aur Dushyant aa hi rahe the…hame raasta pata hai..tum kyun aayi ho?

Gehna (surprised): Okay…mujhe chachi ne bheja tum dono ko bulaane..naashte me aloo ke parathe hai...

Dushyant (happy): Alooo ke parathe…aare yahan time waste kyun kar rahi ho..chalo..jaldi chalte hai..

Gehna (happy): Tumhe pasand hai…she blushes..maine banaaye hai..

Dushyant smiles and looks at Ishita. She is giving hard looks at Gehna…Ishita has clutched her lehenga very tightly as if she is ready to attack!

Dushyant (remembering daadu's idea): Ohhh..Tumne banaya hai..phir toh mujhe taste karna hi hai…he steps behind like a gentleman…after you my lady…Gehna giggles..Ishita pants heavily..

Dushyant: Ishuuu..chalo naa..parathaa…Gehna ne banaaye hai…

Ishita: aaj mera upwaas hai…saying this she walks into her room and slams the door.

Dining table

Daadi: arre Dushyant beta…aaooo..baithooo..tum bhi naashta kar loo..arre yeh Ishita kahan reh gayi..

Dushyant (smile): ji…who nahi aane waali hai...usne aaj upwaas rakha hai..

Everyone stops eating and looks at him with their mouths open...

Daadi (dizzy): Ishitaaa ne upwaas rakha hai! Sushilaaaa…mujhe phir se chakkar aa rahe hai…..

Everyone attends daadi and gives her water.

Daadi (hand on head): yeh ladki aaj mujhe maarkar hi chain legi…

Dushyant (mind, smile): aapka pata nahi Daadi..lekin main toh aaj bahut ghayal hua hoon..he clutches his heart...Ishuuuuuuu…tum mujhe zaroor maar daaalogiiiiiii….haayeeeee….

Ishita is changing into Gehna...but its becoming a disaster...Will Dushyant continue to make her jealous?
