Divya: Let me see if she would like to see you now.
[As Navya is seated in the visitors’ sofa, Divya goes into the conference room with Navya’s business card. When Divya gives the card to the lady heading the complaints committee, she is seen talking to the others [mime] A perplexed Naveen comes out of the conference hall and goes up to Navya.]
Naveen: Believe me, it was all false.
Navya: [surprised.] What is it about?
Naveen: I thought you got wind of Mithuna’s complaint against me.
Navya: So you lead a double life.
Naveen: I’ll explain everything.
Navya: You should have done that before.
Naveen: I didn’t want to upset you dear.
Navya: Now you made it worse for me.
Naveen: Bear with me, I’ll tell them and come.
[As Naveen goes into the conference room, Divya comes out of it. As Naveen explains things to his colleagues [mime] they wear a surprised look. At the same time, Navya is seen talking to Divya [mine]. Even as Naveen comes out of the chamber, Navya storms out of the office. A stunned Naveen follows her. [Curtains down.]
Scene - 11
[Curtains up: In her drawing room that evening, Rekha in serious discussion with Rachana (mime). The clock (not in the scene) strikes six.]
[Enter: Navya (with a suitcase in each hand) with Ranjan and Nrupa]
Rekha: Is it miya bibi jhagada or what?
Navya: It’s no mere jhagada,its jeopardy.
Rachana: Why what happened?
Rekha: Naveen has thrown me into a dilemma.
Rekha: So has Kumar our Rachana.
Navya: Who is that?
Rekha: The Cupid at her office
Navya: Why is it an unrequited love?
Rekha: He’s already married.
Navya: Oh how men mislead women
Rekha: Is Naveen cheating on you or what?
Navya: If that’s the case, I would have been sulking at home hoping that man always comes back to his wife.
Rachana: What then?
Navya: He was harassing a woman at his office.
Rachana: Oh God, I can understand your dilemma. But what’s his version?
Navya: I think his was a partial confession. As coincidences go, he met Mithuna that is her name, on the very day we met. He did admit that he coveted her bowled over by her charms. When he realized she was a flirt, he says that his ardour for her evaporated. But when she shifted gear and began flirting with one and all he saw it was telling upon their performance. Well, the complaints committee upheld his stance that she fixed him as he tried to discipline her and the management fired her.
