As
Raj gapes at her incredulously, his niece tells him it's not polite to stare.
The family goes off to get the meal ready while Raj goes upstairs to fight with
Jiya. He asks her what she thinks she's doing there, and she basically tells him
that she was looking for him. He threatens to tell the family about how they
met, and she counters with a threat to tell them how he took her home, changed
her clothes, and who knows what else he did while she was passed out. They
squabble a bit more until they are interrupted by Kiran.
Later that night we see them having dinner. Raj compliments Kiran on
everything they're eating. His brother tells him that if he gets married he
could eat like this every night. Raj smugly tells him that he'd only consider
marrying someone that can cook as well as Kiran does. Kiran mentions that
tonight's meal was in fact not her doing. Jiya was the chef for the evening. Raj
then is somehow able to find something wrong with the food but everyone laughs
at him.
The
next day Raj goes into Jiya's room looking for a book he left there. She's not
in the room, so he picks up the book and starts reading it on the daybed. Jiya
comes out of the bathroom wearing only a towel, so Raj tries to hide to avoid
embarrassing her. He does take a few curious peeks as she dries herself off but
tries to sneak out when she's got her back to him. She catches him as he's
almost to the door and accuses of him looking at her. He claims he wasn't but
she doesn't believe him. He claims he didn't see anything, but she says, "Oh you
didn't? Well then see now!" and opens her towel to him! He quickly looks away
but Kiran is coming upstairs. Jiya tells him to hide under the towel (I really
don't think that would work, but for the sake of the plot we'll keep moving.)
and wraps it around his head with her back to the door. Jiya gets rid of Kiran
and lets go of Raj's head.
She teasingly asks him if he enjoyed having his head in her towel, and he
says no. She tells him he should try it again and grabs for his head, but he
pulls the towel away from her revealing that she's got a shirt and a skirt on.
He angrily leaves the room while she laughs at him.
Raj goes outside to take his niece, Sally, into town. Jiya comes out and says
that Kiran asked her to go to town and get some things for the
Karva Chauth festival.
Karva Chauth is a holiday where the wives of the family fast for a day for
the long lives and well-being of their husbands. The fast is broken when the
moon rises, and the husband gives his wife a sip of water, then they eat.
Raj
doesn't want to take her with them, but she babbles on and on about how upset
Kiran will be and how it will spoil the festival. Raj tells her to get on the
motorcycle to shut her up. On the ride into town Jiya keeps blowing kisses and
waving to all the other riders behind them, and soon has quite a train of
admirers following them.
They arrive at the market area. Raj tells Jiya to go off and get what she
needs while he takes Sally with him. Jiya looks a little nervous as the group of
men she was flirting with have now caught up to her and are surrounding her.
Things quickly get ugly and Jiya finds herself in a very unpleasant situation.
Sally notices this and alerts Raj who comes in to rescue her.
The fight goes along some predictable lines, with Raj kung-fuing everyone.
Jiya gets into the fight a little too, as Raj picks her up and swings her legs
around to kick some of the guys (yes, much like in
Romeo Must Die).
Things seem to be more or less under control until one of the men slaps little
Sally for cheering on her uncle. When Raj sees this, he goes ballistic on the
man that smacked her. The ferocity of this attack is somewhat weakened by the
fact that he throws a bucket and a wooden stool at the guy and misses both
times. Jiya has an odd look on her face during all this. At times she looks
frightened, other times she looks proud. Not sure what's happening in the brain
there, but she's a little weird.
