Cousin 2 (half-smiling):
Hmm... our married life has just started, and you're already talking about the ending?
(Thinking:Kids? No way. I'm not even comfortable talking to her—how do they expect us to have kids?)
Father (chuckling):
Beta, it's not the end. It's the beginning of your marriage journey.
You might be thinking that kids will take away your personal time—but trust me, you're wrong.
You can just leave your kids with us!
Cousin 2 (awkward smile):
Haha, sure...
When we have a kid, we'll definitely drop them off here.
Wife 2 (thinking, eyes narrowing):
Kids?! What does he think, I'll create one with my fingers?
(Suddenly, Ishana enters with a bright smile.)
Ishana:
Wow! You guys are already here!
Cousin 1 (grinning):
Of course! It's our sister's wedding—
How could we not be here?
Cousin 2:
Yeah! It's been such a long time since we all met.
Let's celebrate tonight—just us and your fiancé.
Ishana (enthusiastic):
Sure! The nine of us should have a party tonight!
Cousin 1 (raising a brow):
Nine? Not nine. It should be eight.
Cousin 2 (smirking):
Actually, not even eight—seven sounds right.
Ishana (confused):
Wait, who's getting excluded from this party?
(Pauses, then shrugs)
Honestly, I don't want him there either.
Cousin 1:
I was talking about my wife—she's not into parties.
Cousin 2:
Same here. My wife isn't into parties either.
But Abhishek—he should be there.
Ishana (protesting):
Why should he come to our party?
And if you're inviting him, then your wives should be included too!
Wife 1 (smiling sweetly):
Of course! We'll be there. Right, bhabhi?
Wife 2 (nodding):
Absolutely. We love parties.
Ishana (laughs, giving in):
Okay, then it's a deal!
By the way, where are we doing this?
Cousin 1:
Let's have it on the terrace. Open air, good vibes.
Ishana:
Sounds perfect—cool!
Cousin 2:
Alright then, let's all go freshen up.
We'll meet directly on the terrace.
Cousin 1:
Yeah, good idea.
Ishana (mock scolding):
Wait—what about the arrangements?
Who's going to set up everything?
I know you guys are married and might need "personal time,"
but it's still my wedding—you can't expect me to do everything alone!
Father (laughing heartily):
It's okay, beta. We'll handle the arrangements for you.
You all go and take some rest.
(Smirking)
Who knows, maybe while you're at it... you'll even start working on those babies!
(Everyone laughs awkwardly as the couples exchange side-glances and begin heading to their rooms.)
