It's 9 in the morning on March 23rd. Jyugal is showing Naushad and Mehjabeen the video of Heli and Darshan's fight on that Monday when Heli got bailed out. Around 9:15, when they're done watching the video, Darshan steps into the room. Jyugal quickly puts away his phone as the three try to keep a neutral look on their face. They smile at Darshan who gives them a skeptical look. He sits down across from Naushad.
Darshan: Uh...?
Naushad: J... Jaimi... ke baare mein kuch pata chala?
Darshan: Nahi. Aap ko usne bataya ki woh sab kab wapas aa rahe hain?
Naushad: Nahi! Meri toh Jaimi se kaam ke silsile mein hi baat hoti hain.
Darshan: Bhabhi aap?
Mehjabeen: Nahi! Meri toh last police station mein baat hue thi sab se phir kisi se nahi hue.
Darshan nods his head. The intercom goes on in the conference room.
Receptionist: Sir?
Naushad: Yes?
Receptionist: Jaimi ma'am ka phone aaya tha ki woh parso se wapas join karegi!
Darshan: Phone kab aaya tha?
Receptionist: Abhi kuch minute pehle hi aaya tha!
Naushad: Ok!
The intercom goes off.
Jyugal: Kya kar raha hain yaar?
Naushad: Aise usko puchega toh pure office mein phir se news phail jaaegi ki tumhara aur Jaimi ka divorce hone wala hain ya tum dono ke beech mein koi problem hain.
Mehjabeen: Iss baar Jaimi rokegi bhi nahi!
Darshan nods his head understanding what they said. Heli walks into the cabin and takes a seat beside Darshan.
Darshan: Bhai, mera kuch kaam nahi hain toh mein nikalta hoon!
Naushad: Yeh contract sign karna hain phir kuch kaam nahi hain!
Naushad hands him the contract and points to the places which need his signature. Darshan signs it and is about to get up and leave when Heli catches his wrist. She turns the chair so she could see him. He wiggles his hand to get it out of her grip, but she tightens it.
Darshan: Leave my hand!
Heli: No!
Darshan: Just leave my hand dammit!
Heli: Meri baat suno phir chod dungi, please!
Darshan turns his head away, but nods seeing Heli is adamant. His words were cold.
Darshan: Bolo.
Heli pulls out the chair he was sitting on and makes him sit. He looks into her eyes then, away,
Heli: I know ki tum mujhse gussa ho! Par please, meri baat ek baar suno. Tum jo kahoga mein wahi karungi. Mein Jaimi se maafi bhi maangane ke liye ready hoon. Please, tum mujhse door mat jao. I can't live without you! I was just afraid that I might lose you. That's all! Mujhe nahi pata tha ki yeh case itna serious ho jaaega. I'm sorry!
Darshan looks at her from the corner of his eyes as he's staring out of the window. She looks like she's about to cry. After a minute of silence, a tear escapes Heli's eyes. Darshan turns to face her.
Heli: I'm sorry! Yeh pehli aur aakhri baar hoga. I promise!
Darshan: Ek shart pe maaf kar sakhta hoon!
Heli: Kya?
Darshan: Jaimi jab wapas aae tab tumhe aur Aashi ko usse maafi maangani padegi!
Heli: Anything for you!
She says with a smile making Darshan believe that she's telling the truth. He nods his head. She gets up from her chair and hugs him as tight as she could making the Mehjabeen and Jyugal roll their eyes while Naushad glares at the two with disbelief. She situates herself back on the chair.
Naushad: Darshan, kal ke jamming session mein tum aa rahe ho?
Darshan: Nahi bhai! Kal mein Ahmedabad jaa raha hoon.
Jyugal: Kis liye?
Darshan: Woh meine tujhe plot dikhaya tha, yaad hain?
Jyugal shrugs his shoulders.
Darshan: Woh Jaimi ke plot ke baaju mein tha. Sabarmati nadi ke kinare!
Jyugal: Haan! Toh uska kya?
Darshan: Kal uska auction hain toh mein jaa raha hoon!
Naushad: Tum woh plot kharidna chahte ho?
Darshan: Haan! Woh mujhe pasand hain aur Dad ko bhi so... I mean nadi ke kinaare ghar... nice idea, right?
Naushad: Nice! Uske aas paas koi plot ho toh kehna. Hum bhi property mein invest karne ki soch rahe the!
Darshan: Uss plot ke right mein Jaimi ka hain aur left mein ek plot hain jisko bechna hain. Woh bhi kal aa rahe hain auction mein, so aap bhi chalo!
Mehjabeen: Hum bhi chalte hain!
Darshan: Woh plot thoda chota hain par accha hain!
Jyugal: Woh toh Dharmanandan Diamonds Pvt. Ltd ke owner ka plot nahi hai?
Darshan: Haan!
Heli: Aap chahe toh mein Dad se keh sakhti hoon ki woh owner se baat kare. Dad unko jaante hain!
Mehjabeen: Kaise?
Heli: Hum Surat mein the tab Dad waha unit 15 ke supervisor the, so woh uncle jaante hain unko.
Jyugal: Bhai, aap Bhabhi se baat karna woh owner se baat karlegi!
Naushad: Jaimi, jaanti hain?
Jyugal: Haan! Woh company ke owner Laljibhai Patel aur Ved uncle bahot acche dost hain. Mere Pappa ne kaha tha yeh. And, in dono family ke beech mein business ties bhi the.
Heli: Tum, Jaimi ke baare mein kuch zyada hi nahi jaante?
Jyugal: Haan, kyuki mere pappa Bhabhi ki family ki company mein kaam karte the!
Heli: Kya mein bhi aa sakhti hoon? Please!
Darshan nods his head.
Darshan: Hum paanch kal jaa rahe hain!
Jyugal: Paanch kaise? Chaar hue na!
Darshan: Tu bhi aa raha hain! Yaha akela kya karega?
Jyugal: Woh bhi sahi hain!
They chat for a few minutes then, Heli leaves. Darshan and Jyugal shortly leave after that as well. Naushad and Mehjabeen wrap up their work by 6:30 and leave for their residence as well. The bell rings around 7 and Darshan opens the door. He sees Heli standing there. He allows her in. She tries to hug him to which he steps back. She looks at him surprised.
Heli: Kya hua?
Darshan: Yeh sab karna zaroori hain?
Heli: Kya hua? Humari subah office mein baat hue thi toh ab..?
Darshan: Haan, baat hue thi! Toh?
Heli: Tumne mujhe maaf kar diya toh ab kya problem hain?
Darshan: Meine tumhe Jaimi se maafi maangane ke liye kaha tha! Meine ab tak tumhe maaf nahi kiya hain.
Heli: Par?
Darshan: Mujhe waqt chahiye sochne ke liye! Meri wajah se Jaimi ko bahot problem hue hain so tum se pehle mujhe usse maafi maangani padegi.
Heli: Tum mujhe maaf kar sakhte ho?
Darshan: Meine kaha ki mujhe waqt chahiye sochne ke liye!
Heli: Tumhe kya sochna hain? Sab kuch clear toh hain!
Darshan: Tumne ki pucha tha uss din ke mein kisse chahta hoon toh wahi soch raha hoon!
Heli: Tum mujhe chod doge?
Darshan: Meine yeh nahi kaha ki mein tumhe chod dunga. I just want some time away from everything and get to know myself a little better, so I can understand what I want without any confusion.
Heli: Par tumne uss din yeh bhi kaha tha ki you love me.
Darshan: Waqt do mujhe Heli! Forced relationships are equal to nothing.
Heli: But?
She thinks for a few minutes before opening her mouth to say something.
Heli: Tum sahi keh rahe ho! Hum dono ko sochne ke liye waqt chahiye. See you tomorrow!
Darshan nods his head. Heli tries to hug him, but he takes her hand and does a handshake. She leaves for her house after giving him her best fake smile. He closes the door behind her. He cooks for himself and eats before cleaning up. Then, he calls it a night and retires to his room.
Jaimi, Amaal, Armaan, Ayesha, Meera, and Neel reach Mumbai by 3 in the morning on March 23rd. Jaimi bids them goodbye as she makes her way towards the Ahmedabad flight with her handbag. She gives her luggage bag to Meera and Ayesha who take it with them to Raj Classics. Jaimi boards on the Ahmedabad flight by 4. She reaches Ahmedabad by 6 in the morning. She checks into a hotel and freshens up. Right after, she leaves for a meeting.
Darshan, Jyugal, Naushad, Mehjabeen, and Heli board on the Ahmedabad flight by 6 in the morning. They reach Ahmedabad by 8:30. There's a car waiting for them outside the airport. They get in it and go to the Raddison Blu Event Venue. The organizer shows the five their table. Jyugal makes sure to separate Darshan and Heli by sitting in between them.
Jaimi enters the hotel by 9. The organizers greet her as soon as their eyes fall on her. Laljibhai Patel walks towards Jaimi as they walk towards the venue. The two shake hands.
Laljibhai: Jaimi, aaj yaha kaise?
Jaimi: Plot lene ka irada hain!
Laljibhai: Iska matalab plot tumhara hi hoga!
Jaimi: Sahi kaha uncle. Jo cheez mujhe chahiye woh meri hi hoti hai!
Laljibhai: Ved ki copy ho tum!
Jaimi smiles. The organizer walks there. He shakes hands with Laljibhai Patel.
Arvind: Mera naam Arvind Choksi hain!
Laljibhai: Laljibhai Patel!
Arvind: Abhi, andar chale? Auction shuru hone wala hain.
Jaimi nods her head. They enter the venue. Darshan, Jyugal, Naushad, Mehjabeen, and Heli turn their head to see as the door opens, but they couldn't see anything as the door is surrounded by the reporters and cameramen who have come to cover the auction. The organizer shows Jaimi her table which the first one on the left. Darshan's table is the second one on the right. Darshan tries to see the female who just sat on the first table, but he can't see as her back is facing him. Darshan hears chatter around him about the first table.
Jyugal: Bro, lagta nahi ki yaha humara chance hain!
Heli: Kyu nahi hain?
Jyugal: Baaki sab baat kar rahe hain woh suno na. Sab yahi keh rahe hain ki woh left mein pehle table pe jo bidder hain woh pichle chaar saal se iss plot ke piche pade hain toh aise hi jaane nahi degi.
Darshan: Negative kyu soch raha hain? Dekhte hain ki kya hota hain!
Aarush enters the hall and sits beside Jaimi at the first table.
Aarush: Kaisi hain yaar?
Jaimi: Thik hi hoon abhi tak!
Aarush: Jaivardhan kaka se baat hue kuch derr pehle aur unhone kaha hain ki yeh zameen tumhare aur Chetana ke naam hi honi chahiye. I'm nervous!
Jaimi: For what?
Aarush: This auction!
Jaimi: Chill Bro! Kuch nahi hain.
The auctioneer introduces himself and the organizers one by one. He announces the beginning of the auction.
Auctioneer: Boli 50 lakh se lagegi.
People start to pick up their board and auction while Jaimi is sitting there patiently. Heli notices the female sitting there quietly and smirks.
Heli: Jyugal woh ladki toh boli hi nahi laga rahi tum toh bahot kuch bol rahe the.
Jyugal rolls his eyes and focuses his attention on the bidding.
Heli: Darshan tum bhi boli lagaona. Socho ke humara Sabarmati ke kinaare ek bada sa ghar hoga toh kitna accha lagega.
Darshan just shrugs his shoulders. Aarush turns his head to Jaimi who is sitting there quietly.
Aarush: Plot chahiye ki nahi?
Jaimi: Bro, chill! Plot apna hi hain.
Darshan raises his board.
Heli: Mujhe bolna hain!
Darshan: 65 lakhs!
Heli screams 65 lakhs.
Auctioneer: 65 lakh, ek! 65 lakh, do! 65 lakh...
Jaimi raises her board.
Jaimi: 68 lakh!
Darshan again raises his board.
Heli: 70 lakh!
Jaimi raises her board again. She sees Heli's reflection on the glossy finish of the board and her blood boils seeing her.
Jaimi: 72 lakh!
Heli: 75 lakh!
Darshan tries to see the face of the woman as her voice is similar to Jaimi, but he can't catch a glimpse of her.
Jaimi: 77 lakh!
Heli takes the board from Darshan's hands and is about to raise it when Darshan puts his hand on the board.
Heli: Problem kya hain?
Darshan: Iss plot mein mujhe zyada profit nahi milega! Mera budget 75 lakh tak hi tha.
Heli: Par humara sapna..?
Darshan: Mere paas ek ghar haina? Woh bahot hai!
Heli quiets down hearing his tone. A person sitting on the table behind them picks up their board. Darshan turns to see a male in his mid-50s.
Male: 78 lakh!
Jaimi again raises her board.
Jaimi: 80 lakh!
Auctioneer: 80 lakh, 1... 80 lakh, 2... 80 lakh, 3! Iss shaandaar plot ko kharid liya hain table 1 ki bidder ne. Zor daar taliya bajaiye!
The cameras are shoved in Jaimi's face as the cameraman and reporters move towards them to get her statement.
Naushad: Hume cameras ko avoid karna chahiye!
Heli: Kyu? Yaha acchi khaasi publicity ho rahi hain!
Naushad: Tum dono ek saath media mein nahi dikh sakhte!
Jyugal: Hum, Laljibhai Patel, ko milte hain. Aap ke plot ke baare mein baat karni haina?
Naushad nods his head as they move towards the table in front of them. They meet Laljibhai and discuss the rates and legal formalities. The rate is lowered by 3 lakhs as Jyugal introduces Naushad using Jaimi's name. Jaimi moves towards the conference room of the hotel with Aarush where the legal formalities are to be done.
Aarush: 80 lakh uss plot ke liye kuch zyada nahi hain?
Jaimi: Bro, mein teen chaar saal se piche padi hoon tab jaake auction tak baat aae hain. Ab, kaise chod doon?
Aarush: Par, phir bhi yeh bahot paise hain iss plot ke liye!
Jaimi: Just wait and watch!
The two go into the conference room where the legal team and the organizers are waiting for them. Jaimi sits across from the head organizer and Aarush stands against the glass window which overlooks the Sabarmati Riverfront.
Organizer: Yeh deal 80 lakh mein close ho gae hain! Humari legal team ne aapki aur aapke cousin ke naam pe dastaavej ban chuke hain.
Jaimi: Sign karne se pehle meri ek shart hain!
The organizer nods his head indicating her to continue.
Jaimi: Legal kaam ka payment aap karenge. Iss plot pe security against flood and storm ka koi system nahi hain jo aap ko lagana padega and zameen ko even karwaane ka kaam bhi aapka hoga.
Organizer: Kya mazak kar rahi hain aap?
Jaimi: Iss plot ki market value 75 lakh hi hain par mein aap ko 80 lakh de rahi hoon! Aur, yeh saari conditions Gujarat ka court bhi maanta hain so... I can end this deal if you want! Bahar jitne bhi bidder hain woh mere jitni price nahi de paaenge aur humari business ties bhi strengthen ho sakhte hain.
Organizer: Kaise?
Jaimi: Chetana Di aur mein aaj se Patel industries ki 80% stock ki holders hain so...
Organizer: Done!
Lawyer: Sir?
Organizer: Jaichand Patel ki family se zyada business mein koi maahir nahi hain aur mein koi panga nahi lena chahta!
Jaimi signs the legal document. She signs it on behalf of Chetana as well. She hands the organizer a check of 80 lakh rupees after collecting all the legal documents which are approved by the court Aarush and her leave the hotel. Aarush drive Jaimi to the airport.
Aarush: Dad is absolutely right!
Jaimi: About what?
Aarush: Ki tumhare iss dimaag pe shaq nahi karna chahiye!
Jaimi: Definitely!
Aarush: Tune yeh kiya kaise?
Jaimi: It's easy! Jo meri conditions thi woh mein khud karti toh 10 lakh rupees ho jaate easily. Meine market price se 5 lakh zyada diya par 5 lakh save bhi kiya.
They reach the airport after a few minutes. Jaimi bids him goodbye before she goes inside to catch her flight for Mumbai. On the other hand, Darshan, Naushad, Jyugal, Mehjabeen, and Heli go to court. Naushad signs the document and writes a check for payment. Jaimi boards on her flight by 5:30. She lands in Mumbai by 7:30. The five reach Mumbai by 8 as well. Ayesha and Meera pick Jaimi up from the airport and drive to Raj Classic. Naushad and Mehjabeen leave for their residence. Aashi picks up Heli. Jyugal and Darshan drive to Darshan's residence. They both sit in the living room.
Jyugal: Kal Bhabhi office aae tab divorce...
Darshan: Sentence pura kar!
Jyugal: Divorce ke baare mein puchegi toh kya jawab dega?
Darshan: Bol dunga ki papers jala diye!
Jyugal: Nahi maanengi!
Darshan: Video banaya hain jab mein papers jala raha tha tab ka.
Jyugal: Bhabhi ko wapas kaise laaega?
Darshan: Pata nahi! Yeh toh sochna padega.
They chat for some time before Jyugal leaves for his apartment. The girls reach Raj Classics and go straight to their apartment. Jaimi freshens up and has dinner with them. They clean up. Jaimi goes to her bedroom and takes out her outfit for tomorrow. She goes back to the living room where laundry is everywhere. They start to fold the washed laundry.
Meera: Jai, tu sure hain kal office jaane ke baare mein?
Jaimi: Haan! Kyu?
Ayesha: Nahi, woh kal project ki final presentation deni hain jisme sab aaenge. Aur, phir execution chalu hoga.
Jaimi: So?
Ayesha: Sab matalab Heli, Aashi, Darshan, and maybe Heli ki Mom.
Jaimi: Mujhe koi fark nahi padta. Darshan sirf mera ex hain! Aur, Heli ko sabak mil gaya hoga ab tak!
Meera: Usne kuch phirse attempt kiya toh?
Jaimi: Mujhe usse nippat na acche se aata hain! Agar, meine apni chaal chali toh woh kisi ko muh dikhane ke bhi kaabil nahi rahengi.
Ayesha: Uspe toh koi doubt nahi hain. I hope ki Heli kuch attempt kare taaki usne jo ab tak kiya hain uska saara pay back ho jaae.
Meera: Kya bol rahi ho?
Ayesha: Jai, tujhe usko ek baar apne andaaz mein samjhade!
Jaimi: Uh-uh! My actions speak louder than my words. Meri sabse badi taaqat hi yahi hain ki mein apne enemy se zyada tar baat nahi karti.
Meera: Yeh strength kaise hue?
Jaimi: Insaan ki baato se woh aage kya karega pata chal jaata hain! Mein chup zaroor rehti hoon par sab kuch dekhti hoon.
Ayesha: That's like Jaimi Ved Patel!
Jaimi: Before I forget, woh plot ka aaj jo auction tha nah...
Meera: Haan!
Ayesha: Uska kya hua?
Jaimi: Mere aur Chetana Di ke naam pe ho gaya!
They engulf her in a bone-crushing hug as they get very excited. They finish up with the laundry and retire to their bedroom as they have to wake up early the next day.

Jaimi entered like a queen and seized her kingdom without letting anyone know. What say about that?
What will happen when Jaimi and Darshan come across each other? What will Heli do?
