Not so Fairytale-ish

Chapter 29

Darshan: Kya?

Siddharth: Jaimi ke saath aise kyu behave kar raha tha?

Darshan: Kaise behave kar raha tha?

Siddharth: Tu usko ignore kar raha tha!

Darshan: I wasn't!

Siddharth: Darshan sab ne dekha ki woh kaise tujhse baat karne ki koshish kar rahi thi aur tu usko ignore kar raha tha!

Darshan: So? Woh bhi humesha mere saath wahi karti hain. It's not a big deal!

He shrugs his shoulder.

Darshan: Aur vaise bhi mein usse baat karu ya na karu usse koi fark nahi padta.

Siddharth: Tujhe pata hain ki tu duniya ka sab se bada ghadha hain?

Darshan: Ab yeh tareef kis liye ki?

Siddharth: Tu usse baat kare na kare usse fark padta hain! Tune uski shakal dekhi thi jab woh tujhe bye kehne aae thi aur tumne usse kuch kaha nahi? She was sad.

Darshan: Woh meri wajah se sad nahi thi. Uska aaj subah woh AM guy ke saath kaha suni ho gae thi iss liye!

Siddharth: Uska sad hone ka side pe rakh par tu kyu usse ignore kar raha hain?

Darshan shrugs before disappearing into the bathroom. He changes into his outfit for the day before heading downstairs where they will be shooting a few scenes today. He is sitting in the makeup room with Naushad while getting his makeup and hair done. Ali and the makeup artist leave after finishing their work. Mehjabeen briefs Naushad about the shoot and he steps out to make a call. Mehjabeen sits on the couch in the corner of the room.

Mehjabeen: So, tumhari aur Jaimi ki phirse koi ladai hue?

Darshan: Nahi! Kyu?

Mehjabeen: Tum usko ignore kar rahe the aaj iss liye!

Darshan: Waisa kuch nahi hain Bhabhi!

Mehjabeen: Darshan, tumhe ek baat bata sakhti hoon?

Darshan: Ji.

Mehjabeen: Jaimi tumhe trust karti hain!

Darshan: Huh?

Mehjabeen: I know yeh thoda random hain, but woh Ayesha ke baad kisi ko trust karti hain toh woh tum ho!

Darshan: Aap ko aisa kyu lagta hain? Hum dono sirf ladte hain.

Mehjabeen: Because I'm a woman as well! Hum ladkiya agar kisi bhi baat se darti hain toh zyada tar hum usko avoid karte hain. She is scared to trust people and share what she is thinking or what she believes in, but with you it's different.

Darshan: How?

Mehjabeen: I know ki tum kya soch rahe ho? Tum dono toh ladte hi ho, right?

Darshan slowly nods his head.

Mehjabeen: Think about it this way ki woh hum sab ke saath bilkul civil rehti hain and tends to agree with most of everything we say, but tumhare saath woh aisa nahi karti! Argument ke through bhi woh apne dil mein jo hain woh tumhe kehti hain. Humesha woh lovey dovey talks pyaar aur respect nahi hote! Ladaai, gussa, roothna manana bhi ek tarah ka pyaar hi hain. Woh apni life se sab ko shut out karti hain because she's scared of something, not because she's lying to you or us.

Darshan opens his mouth to reply, but couldn't utter a word.

Mehjabeen: I know what you boys are up to aur mein tum chaaro ko woh band karne ka toh nahi keh sakhti par ek advice zaroor de sakhti hoon as a woman. Jaimi kya jhoot bol rahi hain woh mat dhundho! Woh kis baat se darr rahi ho woh pata lagane ki koshish karo. Tumhe woh pata chal gaya toh baaki sawaal ke jawaab apne aap hi mil jaaenge.
