{Boarding Area At Airport}

[As Manik receives Cabir's message that they're ready to fly, he makes a call and then leaves. Nandini is about to call her brother when a staff member approaches them.]

Staff: Ma'am, we can offer you another flight from Seattle.

Nandini: (confused) But earlier, you said there were no other flights available.

Staff: We received a special request from someone, and we've managed to book your flight from New York to Seattle to Mumbai. Your Seattle flight will depart in half an hour from gate no. 23. And here are your first-class boarding passes.

{IN FLIGHT}

[Both girls are still perplexed by the sudden turn of events. They rush to their gate and finally board their first flight. Nandini is lost in thought about Manik.]

Nandini: (pov) How can someone be so heartless, God? I was only trying to help them, and they made a mockery of us. Is it my fault for trusting people so easily?

[Nandini closes her eyes, recalling past incidents. Meanwhile, Navya is captivated by the beauty of the sky outside, she tries to lighten the mood.]

Navya: Look at the clouds, Nandu. They seem like cotton candy, don't they?

[Nandini smiles weakly but her mind is elsewhere, Navya notices Nandini's troubled expression and tries to comfort her.]

Navya: Hey, don't beat yourself up over it. We didn't do anything wrong. It's their loss if they can't see that.

Nandini: But what if they hadn't returned our passports? We could've been in serious trouble.

Navya: Let's not dwell on "what ifs". We're safe now, and that's what matters. Besides, we'll be home soon.
