Recap: sanchi gets a little scolding from Kabir for getting drunk. She plans to escape from gayatri’s scolding by going to college with Kabir and asking him to pick her on his way back. They have coffee. Kabir helps sanchi with her assignment and they have a moment.
Kabir leaves from office early. Sanchi comes down dressed up and cheerful. Gayatri and Riya are at the breakfast table.
Sanchi: good morning mom
Gayathri: good morning sanchi. You look really cheerful today. Did it get late after completing your work last night.
Sanchi blushes thinking of Kabir. Gayatri also notices her blushing.
Sanchi: uh? Uhm..no..we…yes..I mean
Riya, “ yeh aaj ulti Ganga kyu beh rahi Hain”
Sanchi: I’m getting late for college. See you in the evening, bye.
Riya: why does she always rush from the breakfast table. She should wake up early if she needs to be there on time. Don’t know when she’ll learn to be this houses bahu. You should tell her that she she shouldn’t leave the breakfast table like this every day
Gayatri: let her take her time.
Gayatri leaves Riya thinking what’s wrong with her. Gayatri goes to kabirs study. She goes towards his table and sees savitris photo. She takes it and keeps staring at it with her trademark creepy smile.
Sanchi is chilling out with her besties. She gets jaya’s call. Her face falls. She cuts the call. Jaya calls again and sanchi keeps ignoring the call.
Isha: kya hua. Who is it. Why are you not taking the call
Sanchi: it’s time for class. Let’s go.
They leave for class. Jaya calls in ishas phone. She looks at sanchi. She makes an excuse and goes to receive the call.
Jaya: kaise ho beta
Isha: I’m good aunty
Jaya: aur meri mishri
Isha: thodi si pagal Hain hamesha ki tarah. But aaj bahut kush lag rahi Hain. You don’t worry aunty, she can’t stay angry with you all for long. Once her anger cools down, I’ll bring her home.
Jaya: take care beta. And take care of your friend also
Isha: bye aunty.
In the class, everyone get their assignments back.
Pragya: kya Hain yeh Yaar. I doubt she is some kind of Japanese robot. Aaj subah hi to submit Kiya tha. How can she evaluate so quick.
Isha: Abe chup. Good na she looked it quick, she won’t be able to catch us
Teacher: Isha and pragya. Why are you guys murmuring there. Come here both of you.
She gives them there assignments with a broad smile
T: good job both of you. F!!!
Isha: you told you wouldn’t copy
Pragya: ya, I only borrowed your ideas. Promise
T: sanchi Mishra
Sanchi goes nervously
T: a perfect A. Please clap for her. How did you come up with such a brilliant idea. I have no words to describe the level of your assignment. It was simply top class. Good job. Keep it up. (She looks at ishagya) learn something from your friend.
At the canteen
Pragya: not fair Yaar sanchi. You got an A and we got only F
Isha: not fair ki bachi, I won’t spare you. Mujhe BHI le doobi.
Pragya: what are friends for. To share your pains and Fs. She is the traitor among us… pointing to sanchi
Sanchi: what is my fault in having such a gorgeous husband
Ishagya: ooohhh….so assignment romance ha?
Isha: tell us in detail what happened
Pragya: wait, no detail. First give me the summary. Then we’ll decide if we need the details
Sanchi: arre, nothing Baba, just he helped me with my assignment. He was working on his laptop and me on mine. That’s it
Pragya: see , I knew it. You guys are so hopeless.
Isha: then why were you having butterflies last night.
Sanchi: Woh..just once, when he came near me to look at the laptop, I got goosebumps. That’s it. But that must be because this is the first time I was this close to someone.
Pragya: so finally, there is some spark…
Isha: ofcourse, how can anyone resist such hot and dashing guy. He is no less than a Greek god.
Sanchi: guys stop it. You don’t have to exaggerate. It was just once. Nothing more.
Ishagya : chalo maharani. Chalte Hain.
They leave but sanchi just sits there. “greek god?” she remembers the image of Kabir walking in to the coffee shop and smiles. She also reminces kissing him in the morning and smiles again. But then her expression suddenly changes. She sees ishagya seated across her with the expression “whats up”.
Sanchi: kya?
Isha: wahi, kya?
Pragya: Isha mujhe pakka yakeen Hain, she is hiding it from us
Sanchi: hiding what
Isha: Jo kal hua
Sanchi: nothing happened. I swear. Let’s go
She leaves in a hurry while ishagya pester her to speak. Kabir comes to pick her up. Sanchi is relieved to see her escape rout. But ishagya tag alonealong for coffee.
Isha: thanks jiju. We always wanted to meet you, but you are always busy. Waise I’m Isha.
Pragya: and I’m pragya, we have been sanchi’s best friends since play school.
Kabir: it’s really nice to meet you both.
Kabir stops the car near a coffee shop. The trio get down while Kabir goes to park
They wait for Kabir, and like last time, again Kabir comes in wearing a light blue shirt, with his sleeves rolled up. Isha and pragyas jaws drop
Isha: I’m going to die of sun burn
Pragya: sanchi your husband is damn hot
Isha: how can you be so cold with such a hot guy in your bedroom
Pragya: you don’t feel anything for him. I think Kami hamari sanchi main Hain
Sanchi: cut it out guys, you are acting wierd.
Kabir sits beside sanchi. They give their order.
Kabir: what are your plans after college.
Isha: I’m planning to take a year off to be with my parents abroad
Pragya: me and sanchi have applied for internship in few major companies here.
Kabir: that’s a good thing.
Their coffee arrives.
Kabir: you’re not having Oreos today
Pragya takes out a packet of Oreos from her bag and passes to sanchi.
Sanchi: thanks
Kabir talks about different things with ishagya. Sanchi is bored. Ishagya in between conversation, watches Kanchi closely.
Kabir offers to drop ishagya
Isha: it’s ok, I’ve called my driver. He’ll be here soon. You guys should leave.
Kabir brings the car and opens the door for sanchi. Ishagya watch them as they leave.
Isha: in ddono Ka kuch Nahi hone wala.
Pragya: Lagta Hain hamein hi kuch Karna padega.
Kabir and sanchi arrive at their mansion.
Later in the night, sanchi is busy trying to select a dress.
Kabir: need help
Sanchi turns to him with two anarkkalis.
Sanchi: which one?
Kabir selects one for her.
Kabir: is there anything special.
Sanchi: mhh.
She turns to go but then remember to thank him
Sanchi: thank you
Kabir: oh, it was just not much.
Sanchi: not for the dress. For the assignment. I got an A.
Kabir: I didn’t do much. We discussed and and it was your ideas that came in more. So it’s your hard work.
Sanchi: still, thanku
Kabir: any time
Sanchi comes to the terrace and gaze at the stars.
Sanchi: I miss you didi. Where are you. You know it’s my birthday tomorrow and I really miss your wishes. Why is god so unfair. He took everything from you, and in the end, he took you also away. I miss mamma also. But I won’t talk to her. When she kept you away from our family, I thought she was just acting as a mother trying to protect her kids. When dadi called her selfish, I supported her as I thought every mother’s are selfish when it comes to their kids. But when she took this step, she didn’t think of me. She is indeed selfish, like dadi said. I’m sorry Di, for not taking a stand for you. I couldn’t do anything for you when you were alive. And even in your death, I couldn’t be there for you. I’m such a bad sister. I’ll pray you get a better sister in next birth, and also a big family who will love you. Agle janam main, Jo kuch BHI Mera tha, Woh tumhe mile,Mera umr BHI..I love you di.
She keeps gazing at the star teary eyed. Kabir comes looking for her
Kabir: it’s cold. You shouldn’t be out at this hour if you don’t want to catch a cold.
Sanchi watches Kabir leave
Sanchi: I still don’t kniw if he is the one for me. I have decided to give it a try.

Precap: kanchi’s first real date…

That’s all for now, but I’ll be back tomorrow.

And feel free to comment, and thrash me also a bit if u want….?
