It's 3:45 in the afternoon. Rajendra Uncle and Jyugal are sitting in the living room waiting for Darshan. He comes out wearing a black t-shirt and pants with a blue jacket. He sits beside the two who are looking at him with a questioning look. 

Darshan: Kya?

RU: Tumne yeh kya pehna hai?

Darshan: Kapde! 

Jyugal: Uncle, hum club jaa rahe hai nah?

Darshan: Hum club jaa rahe hai?

RU: Tumne jo kapde pehne hai usse toh yehi lag raha hai!

Darshan: Ab in kapdo se kya problem hai? Acche khase toh hai!

RU: Beta, hum log tere liye ladki dekhne jaa rahe hai na ki tere kisi friend ki party mein. Kuch toh dhang ka pehen le! 

Darshan: Kya pehnu?

Jyugal: Kuch formal pehen le!

Darshan: Thik hai! 

Darshan goes to his room and comes out around 4:30. He comes out wearing a white shirt and black pants with rosewood color blazer. There was a blue pocket square in the top pocket of his blazer which was closed.

Darshan: Ab thik hai?

RU: Thik hai!

Jyugal: Darshan, tune mujhe uss ladki ka nahi photo dikhai ya naam bataya. Sundar hai kya?

Darshan: Mujhe khud nahi pata!

RU: Uss ladki ka naam Jaimi Patel hai aur mere pass abhi uski ki photo nahi hai toh jab hum jaae tum mil lena. 

Darshan looks out the window and his eyes fall on the balcony where that girl was standing yesterday. The balcony is empty today and the curtains of the room are closed as well. 

Jyugal: Unka ghar kitna dur hai? Hume nikal na bhi hoga na unke ghar jaane ke liye. 

RU: Yahi saamne hai toh agar chal ke bhi jaaenge na toh bhi ek minute hi lagega. 

Darshan continues gazing at the balcony but diverts his attention to the two. They chat on things such as politics, future goals, etc. 

On the other hand, Jaya aunty is preparing snacks for the guests while Jaivardhan uncle is setting up the living room to make it look organized. Ayesha and Jaimi are in Jaimi's room. Jaimi is wearing a floor-length red Anarkali dress while Ayesha is wearing a pink salwar suit. Jaimi does her hair and applies lip balm as her only makeup. Ayesha calls Meera. 

Meera: Look at you Jaimi! Sacchi bolu, agar mein ladka hoti na toh tujhe abhi kidnap karke shaadi kar leti. 

Jaimi: Kya abhi joke maar rahi hai? Mujhe abhi bahot darr lag raha hai! Should I run away?

Ayesha: Bakwas mat kar! 

Jaimi: Bol deti hoon ki bimar pad gayi hoon toh phir guest ko aaj mana kar denge!

Meera: Chill yaar! Itna kyu darr rahi hai? 10th ka exam nahi dena hai! Sirf mil rahi ho aaj usse. Sab thik hoga. 

Jaimi: I can't do anything but be nervous! 

Ayesha: Tujhe Meera ki shakal yaad hai jab Neel ke parents usko dekhne aae the! 

Jaimi: Photo lena chahiye tha uss din tera! Mein, Ayesha, Amaal bhai, aur Maan samjha rahe the usko tab jaake yeh thoda shaant hue thi warna patani nahi konsi bimaari ka naam dhundh ke laa rahi thi aur keh rahi thi ki mujhe yeh ho gaya hai.
