Next morning Pallavi woke up as usual,got ready and was waiting for Raghav's call when Sulochana entered

Su : Kya hua Pallavi abhi tak yehi ho, dukan nahi jana
Pa : Ji Kaku,abhi jaaungi thodi der mein
Su : Acha,jaogi ya firh tumhara aashiq Raghav tumhein leke jayega
Pa : (a bit loudly) Kaku,yeah kya bol rahi hai...
Su : Chillao maat , tumhaari affair keh bare meh mujhe pata hai...
Vi : Ek minute Sulochana,affair... Pallavi? Matlabh kuch bhi bol leti ho hai na?
Su : Kuch bhi nahi dada? Proof hai
Vi : Acha! Proof hai! Mujhe bhi dikhao kya proof hai...

Sulochana shows the photo of Raghav holding Pallavi. Everyone looks at Pallavi and then at Sulochana

Pa : Baba ..
Vi : Bash! Bohot hua...
Sa : Aap....
Vi : Nahi Sardha aaj mujhe koi nahi rokega. Har ek chiz ki hadh hoti hai,aaj voh hadh paar kaar diya tumne SULOCHANA...aur Kitna niche girogi!
Su : ( Shocked) Dada? Aap meri Galti...
Vi : Ha... Kya? Hai kya iss photo mein? Ek larka Pallavi ko hold kar raha hai. Sulochana, ankhen khol ke dekho, Pallavi girh rahi hai,yeah larka useh help kaar raha hai
Pa : Exactly baba, I was about to say... Kaku.. kya cahati kya hai aap? Humesha mujhe galat aur aab mere character peh you're questioning.Please draw a line already.
Su : Pallavi (Roaring) Hadh meh rahi
Mi : Tum apni limits dekho Sulochana...

Suddenly Pallavi's phone pings a message. She saw Raghav has messaged that's he's waiting on the road. Pallavi looks at everyone. Sulochana is giving her tough looks.

Pa : Ai ,baba ,kaku,mein chali tu.
Su : Aagaya tumhara Aashiq
Pa : (Sarcastic) Ji kaku,aa gaya.. mein jau? Aapne ashiq ko wait nahi karana mujhe.(She left)
Su : Dekha aap logone (No one paid attention and left)

In the car, Pallavi was sitting with a grumpy face. Raghav was noticing this. Not able to hold his curiosity.

Ra : Kya hua Saree ka dukan aaj Gussa ka dukan kyu hai tum?
Pa : Kuch nahi!
Ra : Okay! But you're looking like,10 aadmi maar dega tum.
Pa : Ruko
Ra : Kya
Pa : Raghav,gari roko(Raghav gave a confused look) Dukan aa gaya.

Pallavi went to the shop and Raghav too went Office. Pallavi did her work but what Sulochana did in the morning was roaming in her mind. At night, Raghav came to pick her up. In the car.

Pa : Yeah,the end hai
Ra : Kya? Mane?
Pa : (Taking a breath) Raghav,car thoda side karo
Ra : (Parking the car at a side) tum thik hai na.
Pa : Nahi,nahi hu mai thik. Tumhare ek action keh liye tumhe punish karna tha. But, I don't want to hurt my own people! Tumhare sath iss GF BF keh acting ji wajah seh,mere Baba ko aaj first mere bare mei sunna para... This is wrong
Ra : Dekho Pallavi,main pehle hi bola tha,yeah jo tum natak start kiya... It will bring you in trouble. But,tum ko laga mujhe sidha karna chahiye... Toh Mission Raghav's headache peh chal pari. Yeah,21st century meh bhi society larka larki ko ek sath wrong way meh hi lenge...
Pa : I know,and aaj dikh bhi gaya. Mujhe laga log optimistic and liberal thoughts rahenge,but. Khair jo bhi. Mujhe yeah natak nahi Karna aur. Kaal seh don't come.
Ra : Pukka na.... Miss nahi karega na tum "PALLS BABY"
Pa : Nahi Raghav baibe (both laugh)
Ra : Chalo... Mai tumhe ghar chor deta hai for last time. And,by the way, I'm sorry..
Pa : Huh!
Ra : Voh kiss... I really lost my control Itna gussa aa gaya tha ki
Pa : Ghamandi Rao.
Ra : kya bola?
Pa : Vahi joh tumne suna .. chalo aab mujhe late ho raha hai.
Ra : (While driving) now, we're clear and equal right? Tum mujhe koi revenge nahi lega na?
Pa : Hm.. no more revenge...
Ra : Cool...then...

Ra : Gana sunega?
Pa : Itna decent? Voh bhi Raghav Rao?
Ra : Comeon Saree ka Dukan...(Pallavi looked at him) what? Listen, I'll call you Saree ka Dukan only. Whatever,aaj the Last time we're together. Aaj ka baat mile na mile,so let's owet ways on a good note?
