As the soft morning light filters into the dorm room, Aqsa is already in the kitchen, flipping pancakes and brewing coffee. The tantalizing aroma fills the air, making everyone's stomachs rumble with anticipation. Meanwhile, Irha is in the corner, energetically doing her morning stretches and yoga poses, her dedication to fitness is evident.

On the other side of the room, Manha and Maliha are still snuggled up in their cozy blankets, oblivious to the world. They're deep in dreamland, their peaceful snores filling the room. Just as the clock ticks closer to their college start time, Irha, with a mischievous grin, decides it's time to wake them up.

She playfully jumps onto their beds, gently shaking Manha and Maliha, their groggy faces slowly coming to life. "Wakey-wakey, coconut heads! We're always late for college because of you idiots!" Irha exclaims, her voice filled with urgency and amusement.
With a combination of yawns and laughter, Manha and Maliha reluctantly roll out of bed, their disheveled hair and sleepy eyes adding to the comical scene. It's a typical morning routine for these friends, filled with laughter, teasing, and the shared anticipation of the day ahead. Time to hustle and make it to college on time!

As they all headed downstairs, Aqsa's phone buzzed with a call from her sweet and kind boyfriend, Shehzad. He informed her that he was waiting for her outside, dressed in his office outfit. Aqsa's face lit up with a smile as he greeted her with a kiss on her forehead. Manha couldn't help but tease them, while Aqsa, being a shy person, quickly settled in the front seat next to Shehzad, with the rest of the friends sitting in the back.

During the ride, Shehzad mentioned that he had a party at his house the next day and was too busy to attend. He asked Aqsa if she could go on his behalf. Aqsa agreed, appreciating the opportunity to represent him. As they reached the college gate, Shehzad stopped the car and bid a goodbye to Aqsa and the rest of the friends.
Shehzad; call me after you are done let's have lunch together
Aqsa; okey

The lunch break begins after attending lectures. Aqsa excuses herself to meet Shehzad for lunch, while Irha sets off in search of Saad. Meanwhile, Manha and Maliha head to the canteen to grab some food.
Irha, determined to find Saad, decides to check the terrace where they had met before. To her relief, she finds Saad sitting behind a broken bench, lost in his music. Irha cautiously sits behind him and tries to strike up a conversation. However, Saad ignores her
Irha; you don't have clothes why are you always in this pair of black hoodie and jeans
Mind your business, saad said coldly dismisses her concern about his choice of clothing. Hurt by his cold response, Irha persists and asks if she can listen to the music with him. Frustrated, Saad abruptly stands up and starts walking away. Irha,mix of anger and sadness, follows him down. Suddenly, Saad's frustration boils over, and he grabs Irha's wrist harshly, saying I know what whores like you wants,spewing hurtful words about her intentions. Irha, was hurt but she is not a type of girl who cries refusing to be treated that way, musters up her courage and kicks Saad hard, causing him to fall to the ground. Irha then sits on top of him, gripping his collar, mind your words jerk, I just wanted to be your friend and firmly reminds him to mind his words. She explains that all she wanted was to be his friend, nothing more. With tears in her eyes, Irha stands up, wipes away her tears, and walks away,
As Irha stood on top of Saad, he was left speechless, completely stunned by her boldness and strength. It was a sight he had never witnessed before. Overwhelmed with regret for his hurtful words, Saad mustered the courage to follow Irha, desperately calling out to her. However, Irha, filled with anger and determination, refused to stop and continued walking briskly. Saad, realizing he needed to make amends, ran ahead and positioned himself in front of Irha, blocking her path. With a firm voice, Irha warned him to move aside before she again hit him . Saad, finally understanding his action
Saad, I'm sorry I got you wrong, he apologized, admitting that he had misunderstood her intentions. Irha, still angered by his previous behavior, so she walked away refusing to consider his apology
