He stares at dadi, hoping she will speak soon
Dadi tries to act calm
Shaan: Hua kya Dadi?
Dadi switches to Punjabi in worry, she tells him haltingly that someone had complained about Khanak to the RWA and now her landlord has issues with her staying in that apartment
Shaan: Is that it? (clenched teeth)
dadi: Listen to me...
Shaan: I am Dadi (totally calm)
Dadi: U answered her call, she must be heart broken, I was trying to get it taken care of.
Dadi's phone beeps signalling a text message
He visually forces her to look at it, she does, "Its her landlord's number"
Shaan: What happened?
Dadi: From what she knows, and what has been told to her, the past week, she had been seen with three men
Shaan's face pales "WHAT?"
Dadi: You need to promise, you will behave yourself
Dadi switches to Punjabi again "Khanak tells me, you stayed over nite Monday? Samar took her shopping on Tuesday and droppe dher off around mid nite..."
Shaan :Ya he called (Whats the big deal kinda tone)Since Dadi has no clue her fave grand son abs hates his cousin she continues in the same worried but not fearful tone "Aaj Pradyun gaya milne, dono kahin gaye honge, phir shaam ko ghar gayi, aur thodi der mein RWA se phone phir Gupta se"
Shaan is furious... "Pradyun?"
"Pradyun went to visit?"
Haan says Dadi matter of factly
"Shouldnt he be studying dadi? Why did they even move to Delhi? "To meet my wife for lunch during weekends?"
Dadi is surprised "Shaan he is your cousin, I dont like teh tone of that statement"
Shaan is in no mood to listen to reason
He dials a number on his phone "What is the latest you have for Delhi?"
Listens
Dadi shakes her head in dissuasion
He turns the other side "Jet at 11: 15?" "One" Haan will wait for your text"
Hangs up, starts walking towards his room
Dadi: Shaan, I am going to talk to the stupid landlord, you dont mess things up beta
Shaan: No Dadi, my wife already has!😡
Saying so he climbs the steps and heads into his room
