Ishana (thinking):
Wow, he got ready quickly…
Just a sec, I'll be out.
Abhi:
Okay, no rush!
(Abhi pulls out his phone as it starts ringing. It's his friend.)
Abhi (answering the phone):
Hello?
Friend (on the other side):
Where are you? We're already at the club! Come fast!
Abhi:
I'm at my house, just a few more minutes. I'll be there in half an hour.
Friend:
Okay, hurry up!
(Call ends. Abhi steps forward and stands in front of Ishana's door, waiting for her to come out. The door opens.)
Abhi (thinking):
Wow… she looks amazing in black. I can't stop looking at her... how does she look this good?
(Inside Ishana's mind:)
Ishana (thinking):
What's happening? Abhi's staring at me… Why is he just looking at me like that? Is he on a call or just… staring?
Ugh, his eyes... it feels like they're burning me! I should just disappear right now.
Wait—he's wearing the same color outfit as me! That black shirt looks great on him. And his hands… wow, so well-groomed and waxed. Damn it, Ishana, stop! Get a grip!
(Suddenly, Ishana's mom walks into the scene.)
Mom (teasing):
Are you two just going to stare at each other like this for the rest of your lives?
Abhi (blushing, caught off guard):
Huh?! I wasn't staring, Mom... I mean, Aunty!
Mom (smiling):
You can call me Mom. After all, you're going to be my son-in-law soon, right?
(With a playful look)
And if you weren't staring, then what were you doing for the past minute?
Abhi (flustered):
Umm… Nothing… just... nothing!
Ishana (shifting uncomfortably):
Mom, don't cook dinner for us. We're eating out.
Mom (raising an eyebrow):
Okay, but where are you two going?
Abhi:
Our friends invited us to the club. We're going to meet them.
Mom (playfully teasing):
Oh, I thought you were going for a date!
Abhi (stammering)
Huh?! No, it's not a date! Just a casual hangout!
(Ishana's mom smiles knowingly but doesn't say more.)
