Saesha and Akshay have successfully made it out of the house, and are in driving in the car in silence. Placing her cheek against the chilled glass, she looks out of the window, Swetha's message taunting her.
Akshay shortly glances at her, before focusing on the road ahead of him.
"What's the matter?"
"Hmm?" she briefly looks at him before looking out of the window to watch the trees sprinting.
"You're quiet. That's strange"
"And you're exceptionally chatty today"

"Can I ask you something?"
"Go ahead" he says

"What do you mean?"

"You're my problem"
"I don't get how I'm-"
"Please continue arguing. It's not like we are trying to find our friends who are in potential danger. Nope, we are just on our vacation. Keep fighting" Praba snaps behind them, trying and failing to keep the anger out of his voice.
"She will be of no help, I'm telling you" Ravee mutters under his breath, fueling Swetha's anger even more.
"shut the fuck up dude. This is not the time" Parvati slams her hands on the table, gaining everyone's attention.
