Ghar mein thodi si halke excitement ki lehar chal padti hai.
Zoya ki Ammi softly bolti hain—
"Achha, agar tum dono agree ho… phir engagement ki tayari shuru kar dete hain."
Ayaan ki Ammi halka sa smile karke kehti hain—
"Haan, simple si engagement kar lete hain. Baaki shaadi ka time baad mein decide ho jayega."
Room mein sab log dates, guests aur arrangements ki baat karne lagte hain.
Zoya thodi awkward si khadi hoti hai, aur Ayaan uski taraf dekh kar teasing smile deta hai.
Ayaan (slowly, sirf Zoya ko):
"Relax… sirf engagement hai. Panic mat ho."
Zoya (ek side-eye ke saath):
"Panic main nahi ho rahi… tum ho."
Ayaan (mischievously):
"Main? Bilkul nahi. Bas thoda sa… future secure kar raha hoon."
Zoya side-eye ke baad wahan se chal deti hai.

Private Call Scene
Zoya apne room mein phone haath mein pakad kar wait kar rahi hoti hai.
Phone ring hota hai, aur within a second Zoya call utha leti hai… lekin kuch nahi bolti.
Ayaan (soft smile, teasing tone):
"Hello? 🙂"
Zoya (hesitant, annoyed):
"…H-hello. I have a doubt."
Ayaan (calm, confident):
"Ji madam ji, boliye. 😌"
Zoya (eye-roll + annoyed tone):
"Madam?! Zarurat nahi hai! I'm not your girlfriend.
Aur ye mat bhoolna… you're not even my friend! 🙄
Aur next time mujhe madam mat bolna. Abhi utna haq nahi hai tumhe mujh par. 😑"
Ayaan (hands up, teasing smile audible in voice):
"Theek hai yaar, itna gussa mat ho. Sorry.
Tum kuch poochne wali thi na?"
Zoya (thoda frustrated):
"Haan… tumhare chakkar mein bhool hi gayi.
Tumhari cousin ki nazron mein… main khadoos aur akdu ladki hoon kya?"
Ayaan (quickly, trying to calm):
"Nahi nahi… abhi tak usse sach pata nahi chala.
Uski aankhon par abhi bhi jhooth ki patti bandhi hai.
Usse lagta hai tum bahut achchi ho… gussa nahi karti… bahut shaant rehti ho. 😇
Bechari abhi bhi confuse hai."
Zoya (loud, incredulous):
"KYA kaha tumne?! 😠"
Ayaan (relieved he's on call, nervous laugh):
"Thank God main call par hoon.
Face to face hota… to mera muh abhi tak toot chuka hota. 😭"
Zoya (deep breath, slightly shaking):
"Okay… what do you think about me?"
Ayaan (honest, careful):
"To be honest… mujhe tumhare baare mein zyada pata nahi hai."
Zoya (angry, loud):
"Exactly! Yahi problem hai!
Tumhe mere baare mein kuch pata hi nahi tha…
to tumne mujhe propose kaise kar diya?!
Dimag naam ki cheez hai ya nahi tumhare paas?! 😤"
