Jai and Ayaan looked at each other confused. Ayaan shook her, bringing her back to senses.
Jaan: Ha.
Ayaan: Kaha khoye hue ho? ( Where are you lost?)
Jaan: Kahi bhi nahi. Aur sorry Jai, aise room mein aane ke liye. ( No where. And sorry Jai, for coming in the room like this.)
She went from there.
Jai: Isko kya ho gaya? ( What happened to her?)
Ayaan: Pata nahi. ( I don't know.)
Jaan: Ayaan, aa raha hai? ( Ayaan, are you coming?)
Ayaan: Ha. ( Yes.)
They left from there. Jaan was in her room, alone.
Jaan: Finally tu mil gaya, kal tujhe apna best birthday gift milega. Mera intezaar finally khatam hua. Bahut der lag gayi tujhe pehechaan ne mein, par ab tu mil gaya hai. Ab sab theek ho jayega, aaj ka din jaldi nikal jaaye bas. ( Finally I found you, tomorrow I'll give you the best birthday gift. My wait is finally over. It took me so long to identify you, but now I have found you. Now everything will be fine, I hope today's day passes by soon.)
Meanwhile with Fais.
Fais: Mujhe kabhi ladkiyo mein interest nahi tha, phir bhi pata nahi kaise Janu, tujhse pyaar ho gaya. Jald mai tujhe apni feelings bataunga. ( I never had interest in girls, but yet I don't know how Janu, I fell in love with you. Soon I'll tell you my feelings.)
He smiled thinking about Jaan.
Meanwhile with Shivin.
Shiv: Moh.
Moh: Ha?
Shiv: Mujhe bahut ajeeb feel ho raha hai. ( I'm feeling very weird.)
Moh: Matlab? ( What do you mean?)
Shiv: Pata nahi, bas bahut ajeeb feel ho raha hai. Kaise samjhau tumhe? ( I don't know, I'm just feeling weird. How do I explain you?)
He looked at her in worry. He went and sat in front of her, holding her hands.
Moh: Itni tension kyu le rahi ho? Suddenly kya hua hai? ( Why are you taking so much tension? What happened suddenly?)
Shiv: Wahi toh nahi pata. Ek taraf ajeeb si bechaini ho rahi hai, jaise kuch bahut bura hone wala hai, aur dusri taraf lag raha hai kuch bahut acha hone waala hai, aur bahut khushi ho rahi hai. Aur dar sa lag raha hai, kisi toh cheez ka, jaise... ( I don't know that only. On one side I'm feeling some different kind of restlessness, like something very bad is about to happen, and on the other side I am feeling like something really good is going to happen, and am feeling happiness. And I'm feeling kind of scared, like...)
She wasn't able to say it properly. Moh hugged her calming her down, and kissed her forehead.
Moh: Itna mat soch, sab acha hoga. ( Don't think so much, everything will be good.)
She nodded, but still looked worried. He distracted her by pulling her into a kiss. Let them continue, with Sidneet.
Sid: Avi, wo tattoo kiska hai? ( Avi, what is tattoo of?)
Avi: Tujhe kaise dikh gaya? ( How did you see it?)
Sid: Bas chala gaya dhyaan. Maine woh tattoo kahi aur bhi dekha hai. ( My attention just went to it. I've seen that tattoo somewhere else also.)
Avu: Kahi aur kaise dekha hoga tune? Ye humara family tattoo hai. Ye tattoo hum tab banwate hai jab hum 14 saal ke ho jaate hai. Mere yaha gardan ke just neeche, right mein hai, Vaishu ka uske back par hai, gardan ke just neeche. Uske baal hatate hi tattoo ka ek chota hissa dikhta hai. ( How will you have seen it somewhere else? This is our family tattoo. We get this made when we turn 14. Mine is just below the neck on right, Vaishu's is on her back, just below the neck. When she moves her hair aside, a small portion is visible.)
Sid: Tumhare bhai ne bhi banwaya tha? ( Your brother also got it made?)
Avu: Nahi. Uski death ho gayi thi, uske birthday ke din hi. Vaishu ko bhi humne almost kho diya tha. ( No. He died on his birthday itself. We had almost lost Vaishu also.)
Sid: Matlab? ( What?)
Avu: Vaishu jab paida huyi thi, tab Vaishu theek se saanse nahi le paa rahi thi. Phir sabko laga uski death ho gayi, par maa ki zid se use NICU mein rakha. Phir pata nahi kaisa chamatkar hua, ek hafte baad Vaishu thik ho gayi. Par use kabhi kabhi breathing problems hoti hai, specially jab bahut dhua ho. ( When Vaishu was born, she wasn't able to breath properly. Then all thought she has died, but on mom's insistence she was kept in NICU. Then we don't know what miracle occurred, one week later Vaishu got well. But she still has breathing problems sometimes, specially when there is a lot of smoke.)
Sid: Oh.
Avu: Vaishu mujhse ek saal badi hai. Humara bhai, wo tha mera twin. ( Vaishu is one year elder to me. Our brother, he was my twin.)
Sid: Kya? ( What?)
Avu: Hmm. Par Vaishu ki health issues ki wajah se uski padhai ek saal late huyi thi, mere saath. Isliye hum bolte hai ki hum twins hai. ( Hmm. But due to her health issues she started studying one year late, with me. That's the reason we say we are twins.)
Sid: Agar tu aur tere bhai twins ho, toh kal tera bhi birthday hoga na? ( If you and your brother are twins, then tomorrow must be your birthday also right?)
Avu: Ha.
Sid: Bataya kyu nahi? ( Why didn't you say?)
Avu: Mujhe apna birthday manana nahi pasand, kyunki mera twin mere saath nahi hai. Uski death humare birthday ke din hi huyi thi. ( I don't like celebrating my birthday, because my twin is not with me. He died on our birthday itself.)
Sid: Par Jai ko bhi tu apna bhai manti hai, aur kal uska bhi birthday hai, wo tera twin nahi hoga, par bhai toh banaya hai, uske saath celebrate karegi tu kal. ( But you consider Jai also your brother right, and tomorrow is his birthday, he might not be your twin, but you call him your brother right, with him you will celebrate tomorrow.)
Avu smiled and nodded.
Sid: Chal pehle Shivin ko batate hai. ( Let's tell Shivin first.)
They went to Shivin's room and opened the door, but immediately closed it and came back.
Avu: Baadme bata denge, disturb nahi karte hai. ( We'll tell later, let's not disturb them right now.)
Sid: Ha.
Meanwhile with Abhinavi.
Vaish: Abhi chodo na. ( Abhi leave me no.)
Abhi: Nahi. ( No.)
Vaish: Koyi aa gaya toh? ( What if someone comes?)
Abhi: Koyi nahi aayega love, chinta mat kar. ( No one will come love, don't worry.)
Vaish: Par Abhi... ( But Abhi...)
He put his hand on her mouth, and both were looking into each others eyes. Abhi removed his hand, and both leaned in, and started kissing each other. They broke it after sometime, and joined their foreheads, breathing heavily.
Vaish: I love you Abhi.
Abhi: I love you too Vaish.
They both smiled. With Jaireem, they were also busy romancing when Reem saw something.
Reem: Jai yeh kya hai? ( Jai, what is this?)
She asked tracing the lines on his chest. There were two tattoos also, one was something weird on his chest, other was next to a birthmark.
Jai: Tattoos hai.
Reem: Tattoos ki baat nahi kar rahi hu mai. ( I'm not talking about the tattoos.)
Jai: Toh? ( Then?)
Reem: Ye lamba cut, dekho, tumhari peet tak hai. ( This long cut, see, it's till your back.)
She said turning him. Jai saw the faint line.
Jai: Ye actually bachpan mein mai balcony se gir gaya tha, toh yeh laga tha, aur stitches karwane pade the, lekin mark kabhi nahi gaya. ( This actually once I had fallen from the balcony in childhood, so got hurt here, and stitches were done, but the mark didn't go.)
Reem: Balcony se kaise gir gaye? ( How did you fall from the balcony?)
Jai: Mai aur Manjul khel rahe the, aur bhagte hue balcony mein pahuch gaye, aur wo adhi bani building ka first floor tha, toh of course unchi railings nahi thi. ( I and Manjul were once playing, and while running we reached the balcony, and it was a half made building's first floor, so of course the railings weren't high.)
Reem: Property tress pass karne ke liye daant nahi padi? ( Weren't you scolded for tress passing a property?)
Jai: Nahi, uncle ke close friend hi banwa rahe the, isliye maaf kar diya. ( No, it was a close friend of uncle who was getting it made, so forgave us.)
Reem: Tu aur Manjul bahut close the na bachpan mein? ( You and Manjul were very close right in childhood?)
Jai: Abhi bhi hai. ( Even now we are.)
Just then his phone rang.
Jai: Shaitan ka naam lo shaitan haasil. ( Speak of the devil and he appears.)
Jai: Hello kamine.
