Next morning

Meera gets up with a severe headache.

Meera- Main ye kahan hu? (Holding her head)

Haider- Good morning Meera.

(Meera gets shocked seeing Haider)

Meera-  Mr. Haider aap yahan?

(Haider hands her a glass of lemonade. )

Haider- Meera aap pehele ye lijiye. Isse aapka headache kam hoga and you will feel better.

(Meera takes the glass of lemonade from his hand)

Meera- Par Mr. Haider aapne bataya nahi aap yahaan...?

Haider- Meera, I really thought ki kal raat ke baad hamare beech koi formalities nahi hongi.

Meera- Kal ra.. raat ke baad?

Haider- Haan Meera kal raat aapne hi toh...

Meera- Aapne shirt kyun nahi pehena hein Haider?!

(Haider looks at himself and then shyly at Meera. Meera looks at herself and then realizes that she is wearing his shirt)

Meera- Maine aapke kapde kyun pehene hein? Aur kal raat ke baare mein mujhe kuch yaad kyun nahi aa raha?

Haider- Meera meri baat toh suniye..

Meera- Main iss kamre mein kaise aayi?! Kal ki party mein...

Haider- Meera...

Meera- I seriously have no idea. How can I not remember a single thing...what is goi...

(Haider puts a finger on Meera’s lips and she stops midway)

Haider- Shhh.... Meera relax. Shaanttii. Peheli baat ye hai ki, kal raat ko aapne thodi zyaada pi li thi. Isley mein aapko iss kamre mein le aaya taaki party mein aapko koi embarassment na ho. Secondly, aapke kapdon pe drink gir gayi thi isiliye Ms. Payal se bol diya tha ki voh aapke kapde change kar de. Itni raat ko kuch bhi arrange karwana mushkil tha toh maine isliye aapko apni shirt dedi. Samjh gayi aap?

(Meera nods her head )

Haider- And hamare beech... I mean (he turns his head shyly)... Aisa kuch nahi hua... I am a thorough gentleman you see. (He gives her a shy smile).

(That's when Payal enters. Haider and Meera move away from each other) (She sees just a towel draped on Haider’s upper body and turns her head sideways, trying not to stare at him)

Payal- Maam aapke liye kapde arrange karwa diye hein. Aur Mr. Haider... Mr. Akash ke pass aapke kapde hein... Woh aapko dhundh rahe hein.

Haider- Thanks Ms Payal.

Meera- Haider...

Haider- Ji

Meera- Aapki performance kal was just... perfect. Aapki jaisi aawaz maine aaj tak kabhi nahi suni. Sangeet is really lucky and honored to have you.

Payal- Really Mr. Haider, your performance was amazing. Aapko toh kal raat kai compliments mile honge.

Haider- Thank you. Aur waise compliments toh mile. Aawaz ke saath saath kuch logon ko meri aakhein aur smile bhi kaafi khoobsurat aur charming lagi.

(He looks at Meera, giving her a teasing smile)

(Meera suddenly remembers what all she had said to Haider the night before. She chokes on the lemonade and spits it out. Her face turns red)

Meera(in mind)- Omg this is so embarrassing. Kya zaroorat thi meera tujhe itna peene ki. Upar se saare filters hata ke jo muh mein aaya bol diya. Soo stupid!

Payal- Mam aap thik hein?

(Meera nods coming out of her thoughts. Haider smiles and leaves)

Meera-Payal?

Payal- Yes maam

Meera- Saare guests chale gaye?

Payal- Yes maam.

Meera- Kal ke liye thank you Payal and also mein kaafi sharminda hu kal ke liye. That was  very irresponsible on my part.

Payal - It's alright maam. Aap rest kijiye.

Haider- Kya baat hein Aman? Aaj toh tu itna glow kar raha hein.

Akash- Sir apni Sunday ki date ki tayari abhi se kar rahe hein.

(Haider and Akash laugh, Aman smiles)

Aman - Meri baat chodo. I think humme kal raat Akash aur Ms. Payal ki chemistry ke baare mein baat karni chahiye.

(Akash chokes on his drink)

(All of them start laughing)

(That's when Meera walks in)

Meera- Haider mujhe aapse kuch baat karni hein.

Haider - Sure Meera.

(Haider and Meera walk towards the garden)

Haider- Boliye Meera

Meera- Haider I really want to thank you for yesterday. Agar aap nahi hote toh pata nahi...

Haider- Kaha tha na maine...saath kabhi nahi chodunga...

Meera-Ji?

Haider- Kal raat aap hi ne toh kaha tha ki aap mujhe apna dost samajhtii hein aur dost kabhi saath nahi chodte.

Meera- Maine?

Haider- Ji bilkul aapne (he chuckles)

Meera- Mujhe kal ki baatein bohot dhundhli dhundhli si yaad hein.

Haider- Matlab aap meri dost nahi hein…?

Meera-I didn't say that...

Haider- Toh aap meri dost hein?

Meera- I mean like...

(Haider starts laughing and Meera keeps looking at him.

Uski muskurahat ko dekhkar Meera ko ek sukoon sa mil raha tha.)

Haider- Toh aaj se hum friends?

Meera- Ji (she gives him a smile)

Meera- I think...I should leave Haider.

(Meera turns away to leave)

Haider- Meera

Meera (turns) - Ji?

Haider-Aap muskuratein huye bohot acchi lagti hein. Yunhi muskuraya kijiye.

Veer gets up and sees Bani sleeping on the other side of the bed, holding his hand.

Veer- Bani…

(Bani opens her eyes and blinks a couple of times to focus her eyes)

Bani - Veer tum uth gaye. Are you alright?

Veer- Bani tum yahan...

Bani- I know Veer tum mujhse naraaz ho par please ek baar meri baat sunlo. Maine kal jo kuch bhi kaha mujhe nahi kehna chahiya tha. Tumhari feelings par shak nahi karna chahiye tha. Par tumhe kisi aur ke saath dekhkar mujhe pata nahi kya hogaya... Aur maine woh sab keh diya... I am really sorry Veer.

(Veer kisses Bani's cheek)

Bani-Veer tum meri baat sun bhi rahe ho?

Veer- Abb tum subah subah itni khubsurat dikhogi toh bande ki majal hein ki woh tumse apni aakhein churale.

Bani- Veer! I am serious.

Veer- Accha baba thik hein. Galati kal sirf tumhari nahi meri bhi thi Bani. Tumne jo kaha usse mujhe bohot takleef huyi. Par mujhe bhi waise behave nahi karna chahiye tha. Aur dekhe toh tumne aise kuch galat kaha bhi nahi. Mere past ko dekhkar shayad koi bhi ladki mujhe galat hi samjhti isiliye I am.. .

(Before Veer could complete his sentence Bani crashes her lips on his. He reciprocates her advances)

Veer- Bani...

Bani - Main nahi janti Veer ki kon sahi hein aur kon galat. Main bas itna janti hu ki humare feelings sahi hein. Aur jo itna sahi lagta ho... Woh kabhi galat nahi ho sakta.

(Veer hugs Bani)
