Virat: Mein chahta hu ki tum meri mangetar hone ka natak karo.
Sai: Kya woh kanoon ke khilaf nhi hai? Kisi aur ke pehchan ko chinna kuch?
Virat: Agar mujhe pata hota ki woh kaha hai, toh mein khud usse bata deta ki hum aisa kar rhe hai. Mujhpe vishwas karo, yahi sahi hai.
Sai: Mujhe nhi pata...
Virat: Mein tumhare papa ke sare aspataal ke bills bhar dunga.

Sai gulps. Her father's pale face comes in mind laying in his hospital bed along with Nurse Dubaria's scowl as she threatened to kick him out.

Sai: Bas ek hafte ke liye?
Virat: Ya phir jab tak Ayesha wapas aajaye.
Sai: Kisine mujhe pehchan liya toh?
Virat: Tumne toh Ahir ko bhi fool kardiya tha, jab tum try bhi nhi kar rhi thi. Alag kapde aur alag hairstyle mein koi bhi tumhe nhi pehchanega.

Knowing it's the only way to help Sai's father, she agrees to his deal and signs a contract.

Virat: Tum ye regret nhi karogi, Ms. Joshi.
Sai: Mujhe lagta hai ki aapko mujhe Sai bulana chahiye. Ms. Joshi is a bit formal, don't you think?
Virat: Aur tum mujhe Virat bula sakti ho. Ahir ko pata hai ki tum yaha kyu ayi ho. He'll show you to your room.
Sai: Mera room?
Virat: Mein aur Ayesha sath mein rehte hai.
Sai: Aap ye umeed karte hai ki mein iss bungalow me rahu?
Virat: Bilkul. You'll also have to wear Ayesha's clothes and drive her car. Aur hume aaj ek gala event bhi attend karna hai.
Sai: Ek gala? Only rich people go to those...
Virat: Aisa kuch nahi hai. Besides, for the next week, you're supposed to be rich, remember?
Sai: Mujhe nahi pata ki mein ye sab kaise kar paungi. Kya hum aaj ke even ko skip nahi kar sakte ki Ayesha nhi aa payi? Jaise ki woh aaj Pani puri khane gyi hai?
Virat: Log waha Ayesha ki umeed kar rhe hai. If you don't go, how will we convince everyone that nothing is wrong?
Sai: Aap sahi keh rahe hai, par mein uske baareme kuch nhi janti.
Virat: Ahir tumhe taiyar hone mein madad kar dega aur tumhe Ayesha ke baareme sab bata dega. Woh utni bhi suljhi hui nhi hai. Gala tak Ahir tumhare sath hi rahega. Ab, jao, taiyaar ho jao, tumhe gala attend karna hai.
Ahir: Iss raaste se, Sai.

Sai smiles faintly and lets ahir lead her to Ayesha's room at the other side of the house.

Ahir: Pehli cheez, humhe tumhare liye ek gown doondna hai

Ahir: Pehli cheez, humhe tumhare liye ek gown doondna hai.

He gestures to the wardrobe. Sai has a seemingly endless selection to choose from.

Sai: Yeh sab bohot sundar hai. Ahir:Ayesha ko shopping pasand hai. She hasn't worn any of these, so pick what you like.

Sai invites Ahir back in the room when she's finished getting dressed.

Sai: Ahir, kya mein Mr. Chavvan ki mangetar jaise dikh rhi hu?
Ahir: Bohot.
Sai: Virat sach mein ek umangi insaan hai.
Ahir: Virat? You mean Mr. Chavvan.
Sai: Unhone khud Virat bolne ke liye bola.

She notices Ahir's mouth pucker in frustration.

Sai: Kuch galat hai kya?
Ahir: Bilkul nhi. It would be suspicious to call him Mr. Chavvan in public.
Sai: Kya mein tumse kuch pooch sakti hu? Virat aur Ayesha ke beech sambandh kaisa hai?
Ahir: Mujhe nhi lagta mein iss sawal ka jawab de sakta hu.
Sai: Toh mein Ayesha banne ka natak kaise karu jab mujhe unn dono ke baareme pehli cheez hi nhi pata hai?
Ahir: Hmm, sahi hai. Mein sach kahu toh, woh dono ek doosre ke liye nhi bane. Woh bahar acha natak kar lete hai, par asliyat mein kabhi ek doosre ke sath waqt nhi bitate. Mujhe lagta hai, unhe ye rishta sirf convenience ke liye hai.
Sai: Woh dono khush nhi lagte.
Ahir: Tumhe kuch aur janna hai?
Sai: Ha. What were you doing at the hospital? Maine suna ki tumne mujhe wahi dunda.

His eyes falls from hers as he shrugs his shoulder.

Ahir: Mein bas ek puraane rishtedaar se milne gya tha. Nothing too scandalous. Baat toh ye hai, ki tumhara milna ek chamatkaar tha. Mujhe nhi pata ki hum kya karte agar tum nahi milti toh.
Sai: Kya ye investment itna zaruri hai?
Ahir: Ha hai. Ayesha's father would be a major investor and finding a new one would slow down or kill Mr. Chavvan's project.

We have begun!!
