The next morning comes fairly quickly. Darshan and Jaimi are both in the office by 8. Naushad, Mehjabeen, Aishwarya, Ayesha, and they are in the conference room. Jaimi and Darshan look exhausted with faint dark circles around their eyes. They are leaning back in their chair.
Ayesha: Jay, thik hain?
Jaimi: Yeah.
She says yawning. Darshan yawns after her.
Naushad: Tum dono raat ko soe nahi?
Darshan: Nahi.
Aishwarya: Huh?
Mehjabeen: Kuch hain jiske baare mein hume pata nahi hain?
Mehjabeen says it with a smile and teasingly sweet tone.
Jaimi: Kya hoga?
Mehjabeen moves her finger in between Darshan and Jaimi.
Jaimi/Darshan: No!
Naushad: Raat ko ghar pe kitne baje pachoche the?
Jaimi: 4!
Darshan: 4:30!
Ayesha: Itni derr tak bahar kya kar rahe the?
Jaimi lazily looks at Darshan who is looking at the other bodies in the room whose eyes are on him.
Darshan: Woh... actually kuch documents mein mujhe help chahiye thi toh uss mein woh meri help kar rahi thi.
Naushad: Subah ke 2 baje? Bichari ladki ko sone toh deta!
Darshan: Kal shaam ko Shimla ke liye nikal rahe hain so kal raat ko hi kaam kar sakhte the.
Naushad: Thik hain. Chalo song release ka waqt ho gaya.
The song is released on Youtube and Darshan goes live on Instagram. Jaimi and Ayesha step out of the room. They go to the office where Jaimi sits on the small couch in the corner of the office. They settle themselves down.
Ayesha stares at Jaimi intently with her elbow resting on the desk and her head resting on her fist. Jaimi has thrown her head back on the back of the sofa, not caring if she looks like a zombie right now. Ayesha clears her throat catching Jaimi's attention. Jaimi sits up properly and looks at Ayesha lazily.
Jaimi: What?
Ayesha: Spill!
Jaimi: Spill what?
Ayesha: Kal raat ko tum aur Darshan kaha the?
Aishwarya hears the sentence and stands outside the cabin to hear their conversation. Jaimi rolls her eyes and throws her head back. She looks at Ayesha who has her eyes narrowed on her. She throws her hands up in the air.
Jaimi: Fine.
Ayesha: C'mon! Pura din nahi hain humare paas. Woh sab kuch hi derr mein wapas aa jaaenge.
Jaimi: Tumhe sab kuch kaise pata lag jaata hai?
Ayesha: Maybe because mein tumhe bachpan se jaanti hoon aur tumhari saari pagalpanti ke baare mein pata hain.
Jaimi pouts as she acts like she's offended.
Ayesha: Drama band kar! Mr. Hot, sorry Mr. Assaulter aur aapki raat kaise thi?
Jaimi: First of all, that sounds so wrong! Tu apni imagination land se wapas aaja kyu ki hum dono ke beech tu jo soch rahi hain waisa kuch nahi hua hain.
