{Boarding area at the Airport}

[Nandini is engrossed in her book while Navya dozes off beside her, but she's suddenly awakened by the announcement. Navya wakes up and yawns, checking the time on her watch.]

Navya: Whoa, I was knocked out for a solid 3 hours.

Nandini: You must have needed it. How was your nap?

Navya: Refreshing, but it looks like you've been glued to that book all this time.

Nandini: Can't help it. I can't relax until I know she's okay.

Navya: Seriously, Nandu? She's not your patient. You did what you could, now let it go. It was just an accident, and you helped her. Now she's with her friends. They'll take care of her.

Navya: I understand, but don't stress too much. It's not healthy.

Nandini: I don't care. I just need to know how she is.

Navya: It's been 9 hours. I doubt we'll find out. They're probably long gone by now. I heard they travel in their own private jet.

[Navya notices Nandini's book.]

Navya: You're impossible, Nandu. Anyway, what are you reading about now? Are you studying her condition?

Nandini: Yes, just trying to understand her condition better. Bhai suggested this book.

Navya: Lucky find at the airport, huh?

[Nandini smiles, acknowledging Navya's sarcasm. Their conversation halts as Dhruv approaches.]

Dhruv: Excuse me.

Nandini: Hi, Dhruv, right?

Dhruv: Yes, I wanted to thank you. Mukti's doing much better now.

Nandini: That's a relief.

Navya: Good to hear. Otherwise, this one would've been pacing the floor all day.

Nandini: [giving Navya a look] Navya, please.

Dhruv: Your advice really helped. She's calmed down and is resting now.

Navya: Looks like your medical prowess extends beyond the clinic, Nandu.

Dhruv: We're about to leave, but I wanted to say goodbye before we go.

Navya: In Fab 5, you're the best now. I wish everyone was like you.

Dhruv: It's not like that. They're all kind and supportive, but they can't stand anyone hurting one of us.

Navya: But it wasn't that serious.

Dhruv: I know. But Manik is too protective. Nonetheless, he's the kindest and most selfless among us.

Nandini: Let's leave all that behind. Nice to meet you, Mr. Dhruv Vedant.

Dhruv: Glad I could help. It was nice meeting you both.
