MoRan, Sid and Ustaad ji were travelling in Karan's jeep followed by another jeep which had commandos in it. Karan was driving while Monami was sitting on the passenger's seat and Sid and Ustaad ji were in the back seat facing each other.

Karan saw that Monami was looking towards her stomach with a pout and understood that she is hungry. He hence took turn towards a dhabba. He was about to stop the jeep infront of it but neither he could reduce jeep's speed nor he could stop the jeep using brakes.

Karan glanced towards Monami who was still lost staring her hungry tummy. He then saw Ustaad ji and Sid chatting normally. He sighed and started driving towards secluded forest area where he knew that traffic is almost negligible. Seeing their surroundings everyone got alert.

M: Karan yeh hum kahan jaa rahe hain?

K(calmly) : Monami listen to me very carefully. Jeep ki brakes ke saath tamper kiya gaya hai. I am maintaining a normal speed ek ek karke tum, Sid aur Ustaad ji jeep se utro.

U: Sirji yeh aap kya kar rahe hain? Mujhe yahan Faizi sirji ne aapki suraksha ke liye bheja hai. Main aapko yahan khatre mein chodhke nahi jaunga.

Si: Yes. I am not leaving you here. Aap jump karo. I will take control of the jeep.

K: Siddharth!! Ustaad ji !! Dekhiye main yeh nahi keh raha ki main yahan issi jeep mein baitha rahunga. Baaton mein vakt zaaya karne ke bajaye ek ek karke jaldi jeep se utariye taaki main bhi jaldi jeep chodh ke utar paaun. Yeh open jeep hai koi covered car nahi jahan se kudna mushkil ho and as a trained commando I am very much capable of escaping such situations.

M: Ustaad ji, Sid.... On the count of 3 jump.

U: Yeh aap kya bol rahi hain?

M: Ustaad ji. Yeh time baaton mein waste karne ka nahi hai. Aap aur main Karan ko acche se jaante hai. Jab tak hum jeep mein hai he won't leave the jeep. Isliye let's be practical afterall (eyeing Karan) yahan kisi ko toh samajhdaari dikhani padegi na. Let us three be that samajhdaar one. Baaki kisi se toh umeed hai nahi.

K(rolling his eyes) : Monami aisi situation mein bhi tumhe mujhe taana marna hai!! Like really!!

M: Tum toh mujhe bahar milo jeep ke. Taane toh bahut kam hai tumhe pillows ke cottons, dispensary mein rakhi gauge aur ghar ki almirah mein rakhe saare ke saare handkerchiefs utha ke maarungi.

Si: Monu bro? Are you for real!! In mein se kisi bhi cheez ke iss mogambo ko scratch tak nahi aayega.

MoRan(giving Sid a death glare) : Tu kya chahta hai main/yeh iska/mera murder kar doon/de!!

Sid signs to zip up his mouth and holds both his ears lipsing sorry....

M: So I will count 3..... Mere 3 bolte hi kudna hai okay?

Ustaad ji & Sid: okay 👍

M: one...

M: two....

M: three....

As soon as Monami said three both Sid and Ustaad ji jumped off but Monami didn't. Karan's eyes widened in horror understanding what she is upto. Before he could act Monami kicked him out of the jeep. Karan fell out of the jeep on his back on soft heep of dried grasses which Monami had seen from afar and calculated her move. The jeep went out of control. Seeing this Karan started running behind the jeep. Monami too jumped off the jeep but because the jeep was not smooth on drive, couldn't maintain her balance and was about to fall when Karan held her just in time. Due to sudden motion, both fell on the road rolling down on the rough concrete. Karan had caged Monami protectively using his entire body. They stopped after rolling for some distance. Both Sid and Ustaad ji helped them fast on feet and soon other bodyguards too surrounded them.
