INT. SECRET WAREHOUSE - DAY

Naira gathers her thoughts and approaches Shravan and Tanya, her expression filled with concern.

Naira
Can't we just leave Kartik here, safe and unharmed? He doesn't deserve to be caught up in all of this.

Tanya looks at Naira, puzzled by her sudden change of heart.

Tanya
Naira, why are you so concerned about Kartik? He's just a hostage .

Naira, avoiding eye contact, brushes off the question.

Naira
It doesn't matter. I just don't want him to suffer because of us.

Without waiting for a response, Naira abruptly leaves the room, her mind filled with conflicting emotions.

She finds Kartik sitting alone, his face buried in his knees, tears streaming down his cheeks. Naira's heart softens as she witnesses his vulnerability. She approaches him, her usually tough demeanor taking on a gentler tone.

Naira
Why are you crying? This won't change anything.

Kartik looks up at Naira, his eyes filled with confusion and pain.

Kartik
Why are you doing this, Naira? I don't understand your motives.

Naira sighs and sits down next to him, a mix of vulnerability and determination in her eyes.

Naira
You don't know me, Kartik. But I can promise you one thing: I won't let anything happen to you. Your safety is important to me, even if you can't comprehend why.

Kartik, still skeptical, asks Naira to leave him be, to spare him from any further involvement in their dangerous world.

Kartik
Just go, Naira. Leave me alone.

Naira pauses for a moment, contemplating her options. She knows she can't simply let him go, but she can offer him a glimmer of reassurance.

Naira
I can't leave you, Kartik. But I promise I'll do everything in my power to ensure your safety. Trust me on that.

Their eyes meet, a silent understanding passing between them. In that fleeting moment, Naira's tough exterior softens, revealing a flicker of something genuine and caring.

INT. SECRET WAREHOUSE - DAY

Shravan and Tanya exchange glances, their eyes widening as they observe Naira's changed demeanor towards Kartik. They sense something different in the air, a shift in Naira's usually stoic disposition.

Tanya discreetly pulls out three fake passports from her bag, a glimmer of hope in her eyes.

Tanya
Look what I found. Fake passports for the three of us. We can finally escape this mess.

Shravan nods in agreement, realizing the opportunity they have been waiting for.

Shravan
This is our chance to start over, away from all of this chaos.

As they discuss their plans, Kartik emerges from the bathroom, his wet hair tousled and his bare chest glistening with droplets of water. He wraps his old shirt around his waist.

Naira's heart skips a beat as she catches sight of Kartik, a rush of unfamiliar emotions flooding through her. She tries to compose herself, but her racing heart betrays her true feelings.

Tanya interrupts the moment, holding up the new clothes she managed to find.

Tanya
I brought some fresh clothes for all of us. Let's clean up and get ready to leave.

She gives kartik his t shirt but it's a bit more oversized and he is looking funny.

Naira can't help but burst into laughter at the sight of Kartik in the ill-fitting shirt, his arms and legs partially swallowed by the fabric. Her laughter is genuine, and it has a different effect on Kartik. She has laughed like this after a long time.

Kartik, caught off guard by Naira's laughter, can't help but smile in response. He feels a warmth in his chest, an unfamiliar connection forming between them.

Tanya, joining in the moment, smirks playfully.

Kartik playfully rolls his eyes, his smile lingering on his lips. Naira's laughter echoes in his mind, stirring a mix of emotions he can't quite decipher.

As they prepare to leave, a sense of lightheartedness fills the warehouse, momentarily easing the weight of their circumstances.

FADE OUT.
