Man: Hello Jaiju. Kaisa hai tu? ( Hello Jaiju. How are you?)
Jai: Mai acha hu. Tujhe pata hai, abhi tujhe hi yaad kar rahe the mai aur teri bhabi. ( I am good. You know, I and your sister-in-law were talking about you only.)
Man: Meri yaad kaise aa gayi aaj? ( How come you remembered me today?)
Jai: Kuch nahi, bachpan mein jis din balcony se gira tha, tabki baat chal rahi thi, toh yeh bol rahi thi hum dono bahut close lagte hai. ( Nothing, we were talking about the day I had fallen from the balcony, so she said we both are very close.)
Man: Ha, woh toh hai hum, bahuuuut close hai. ( Yes, that we are, veryyyyyy close.)
Jai: Gadhe, tera dimaag kabhi sahi se kaam karta hai? ( Donkey, does your mind ever work properly?)
Man: Nahi. Isliye toh tera bhai hu. ( No. That's why I am your brother.)
Jai: Na jaane kaise ek gadha mera bhai ban gaya. ( I don't know how a donkey became my brother.)
Man: Is gadhe se tu bahut pyaar karta hai par. Acha kya kar raha hai? Oh bhabhi ke saath hai, aur bhabhi ne cut dekha toh romance hi kar rahe hoge, baadme baat karta hu. Aur zyada dur mat chale jana. ( But you love this donkey a lot. What are you doing? Oh you are with bhabhi, and she saw the cut so you both must be romancing, I'll call later. And don't go too far.)
Jai: Arre sun.. ugh.
Manjul had cut the call without hearing Jai's answer. Reem who had heard their whole convo chuckled.
Reem: Ye jo us din aaya tha wahi hai kya? ( He is the one who came the other day?)
Jai: Ha.
Jai looked at Reem and was thinking something.
Reem: Kya hua? ( What happened?)
Jai: Tujhe dekh kar mujhe kisi ki yaad aa gayi. ( Seeing you I remembered someone.)
Reem: Kaun? ( Who?)
Jai: Cinderella, mai use cinderella bulata hu. Wo bhi bahut strong hai, aur wo bhi bahut chubby thi. ( Cinderella, I call her cinderella. She is also very strong and was very chubby.)
Reem: Ab kaha hai teri cinderella? ( Where is your cinderella now?)
Jai: Tu jal rahi hai? ( Are you getting jealous?)
Reem: Nahi, par kabhi bataya nahi tune iske baare mein. ( No, but you never mentioned her before.)
Jai: Mai cinderella ka actual naam nahi janta hu, kyunki mai usse sirf ek baar mila hu. Wo mujhe dwarf bulati thi. ( I don't know cinderella's real name, because I met her only once. She called me dwarf.)
Reem: Kya? ( What?)
She asked while controlling her laughter.
Jai: Kahani mein dwarfs cinderella ko bachate hai, aur phir prince charming Cinderella ko le jata hai. Mai uski madad karna chahta hu, usne bhi meri bahut madad kari thi, isliye mai dwarf, uska prince charming, wo toh use shayad mil bhi gaya hoga. ( In the story dwarfs save cinderella, and then prince charming takes Cinderella with him. I want to help her, even she had helped me a lot, that's why I am dwarf, her prince charming, she might have got him also.)
Reem: Mili nahi phirse? ( You weren't able to meet her again?)
Jai: Maine kabhi use dhunda hi nahi. Mai jinse badla lene wala hu, unke paas milegi mujhe woh. Mai janta hu tune aur Shivin ne sab sun liya tha. Mai jinse badla lena chahta hu, unhe Jaan janti hai. Isliye mujhe uski help chahiye. ( I never searched for her. The ones I am about to take revenge fron, I'll find her with them. I know you and Shivin had heard everything. The ones I want revenge from, Jaan knows them. That's why I want her help.)
Reem: Oh.
She was standing with her back against his chest, and he had wrapped his arms around her. That day the couples had spent with each other only. While Ayaan had called Riya complaining how all were busy with each other ignoring him making her laugh and she talked with him on video call. In evening all came downstairs.
Sid: Guys, mujhe kuch batana hai. ( Guys, I have to say something.)
All turned to him.
Sid: Kal Avu ka bhi birthday hai. ( Tomorrow is Avu's birthday.)
Abhi: Kya? Bataya kyu nahi kabhi? ( What? Why didn't you ever say it?)
Avu: Bas aise hi. ( Simply.)
Reem: Toh kal Jaineet ka birthday saath mein hi manayege. ( Then we'll celebrate Jaineet's birthday together tomorrow.)
Faisu: Ha. ( Yes.)
At 12 all wished Jaineet birthday, and Avu recieved her parents' and Vibha's phone, while Jai got Manjul's. All except Jai then talked on video call with Riya, who wanted to come but her parents wouldn't let her come. Jai was in his room, talking to Manjul, when something caught his attention. He picked the paper.
Hey, finally tum aa gaye. Mujhe kal hi pata chala ki tum dwarf ho, tumhare birthmark se. Humare conversation se relate kiya aur sab samajh aa gaya. Ab jaldi sab thik ho jayega.
Cinderella.
( Hey, finally you came. Yesterday I found out about you being dwarf, from your birthmark. Then I related it to our conversation and everything made sense. Now soon everything will be fine.
Cinderella)
Jai: Mera birthmark, matlab Jaan hai Cinderella? ( My birthmark, means Jaan is Cinderella?)
Jaan: Ha.
He turned around to see Jaan and hugged her.
Jai: Tune sachme best birthday gift diya hai mujhe. ( You really gave me the best birthday gift.)
She smiled. He moved back from the hug.
Jai: Waise tujhe toh apna prince charming bhi mil gaya. ( Btw you got your prince charming also.)
She blushed a bit.
Jaan: Nothing like that, I don't love anyone.
It looked like she was saying it to herself. They went to the terrace, and Jai told Reem about Jaan being cinderella. She got happy and hugged him tightly, which was broken by fake coughs. Before moving apart Reem said.
Reem: Dwarf snow white mein tha, cinderella mein nahi. ( Dwarf was in snow white, not cinderella.)
Jai: Oh.
She chuckled at his confused state as he had never read or seen these tales, and Jaan being a little child at that time had said cinderella instead of snow white. Just then the bell rang downstairs.
Shiv: Is time par kaun hai? ( Who is here at this time?)
She went down and opened the door, to see a man with a mask covering his face.
Shiv: Kaun h..
He stopped her, by placing a finger on his lips. She was confused but nodded. He said something in her ear and she smiled and nodded.
Shiv: JAIIIIIII.
She screamed loudly, and he immediately came there running. He saw the man and went and hugged him not bothering to see who is behind it.
Man: Gala dabayega kya kamine? ( Will you choke me?)
Jai: Iraada toh wahi hai par kar nahi sakta. Pehle yeh mask utaar. ( I want to but I cannot. First remove this mask.)
Man: Nahi.
Jai: Thik hai, upar chal. ( Ok, let's go up.)
Man: Kaha upar? ( Where up?)
Jai: Terrace.
The three went upstairs.
