Today is the bridal shower, and the fun part is that it's Shiza's bridal shower, but she only has one friend, so only she will be attending, while the rest are Zainab's friends. Rayyan and Zayn are standing on stools in the living room, putting up balloons, while Saif is blowing up balloons. Meanwhile, Zainab is baking cake in the kitchen.

Rayyan calls out from outside, "Zainab, call them, where have they gone?"

Zayn responds, "Why bother, let me enjoy in peace pls."

Saif says, "Don't start fighting, when she comes."

Rayyan says, "I can't..."

Zayn replies, "What?"

Just then, the doorbell rings. Rayyan exclaims, "Oh, they've arrived, I think. Saif bhai, go check."

Saif says, "You go , check yourself."

Rayyan says, "I'm standing upstairs."

Saif continues blowing up balloons and heads outside to the lawn and opens the door.

A girl is standing in front of him, Saif is blowing up a balloon, which suddenly slips out of his hand and deflates.

That girl says, "Um, I'm Hala, a friend of Zainab and Rayyan."

Saif says, "Hi, I'm Saif, Rayyan's big brother" (Saif smiles and extends his hand for a handshake, but Hala doesn't shake hands, leaving Saif feeling awkward, and he quickly uses the same hand to fix his hair, trying to play it cool)

Saif says, "lets go inside" (Hala enters, and Saif closes the door behind her)

SAIF'S POV: WTF, just happened? I didn't mean to make her feel uncomfortable.

Someone is calling out to him, but he is lost in his thoughts.

Hala gently taps Saif's arm and says, "Saif?" Saif snaps back to reality and says, "Huh?"

Hala: Shall we go inside?

Saif: yeah lets go

SAIF'S POV: omg, she just called my name! Why am I feeling butterflies in my stomach? Ugh, nvm leave it, Saif, she's just a girl.

They enter the living room, where Rayyan exclaims, "Are you serious? I said 4 o'clock, and it's already 5!"

Hala responds, "You're talking as if everything is already set up."

Rayyan replies, "That's why I called you early."

Zayn whispers to Rayyan, "Is Alishay not coming?" Just then, the doorbell rings.

Zayn exclaims loudly, "I've just taken the devil's name, and the devil has arrived"

Saif: Rayyan, you go now, please. I'll handle the rest.

Hala says, "let me help you."

Rayyan gets down from the stool and walks out.

Saif looks at Hala and says, "Sure."

Zayn adds, "And I'll take care of one thing and leave before my new shirt gets ruined too."
Zayn gets down from the stool and heads to the kitchen.

Hala asks, "What happened to him?"

Saif replies, "Yesterday, your friend Alishay ruined his shirt."

Just then, a voice is heard from outside the door, "By mistake!"

Saif says, "I was about to say..."

Zainab enters the living room, wearing a dark blue apron covered in flour, and hugs Hala getting flour all over her.

Zainab was about to hug Alishay when she warns, "Stay away, you'll ruin my clothes!"

Zayn came from behind and says (jokingly), "Zainab, I was saying, bring a bag of flour, let's have a flour party and dunk your friend in it!"

Alishay : What's your problem? I told you it was a mistake. If you want, i'll even buy you a new shirt...but no,why should I buy it? You were the one standing there, it was your mistake!

Saif: What's going on, guys? Time is running out, hurry up and get ready! (points to Zainab and Rayyan)

Zainab: Give me Just 5 minutes!

Rayyan: Which means half an hour! (Zainab hits Rayyan on the head and walks away, while Rayyan also goes to change)

Saif stands on the stool, putting up balloons, while Zayn puts up fairy lights on the wall in front. Alishay sits on the sofa, and Hala looks at her and sits down too.

Saif: Zayn, pass the tape.

Zayn: Wait, let me stick it.

Saif: Hurry up!

Hala gets up, takes the tape from the table, and hands it to Saif, who is still looking at the balloons. He takes the tape and sticks it on the balloon, and just as he's about to get down from the stool, Hala stands right in front of him. Saif looks at her, and Hala says, "Oh sorry" (Hala moves back, and Saif gets down from the stool)

Alishay: Where's Aunty? (Zainab's Mother)

Hala: I think she's at the office.

Saif: Yes, she's at the office.

Just then, a voice comes from the mic, "Are you all ready to see my new look?"

Zainab also comes out of her room, "What's going on here?"

Rayyan enters, and everyone looks at him. He's dressed in a pink outfit, and Zayn exclaims, "Are you serious? This color is for girls!"

Rayyan retorts, "Bridal showers are also for girls, what are you doing here?"

Zayn replies, "There are three girls in the group, and one boy - it's bound to have an impact!"

Alishay teases, "Don't be jealous, he's looking so cute!"

Zainab adds, "Unfortunately..."

Hala agrees with Zayn, pointing at him, "Yeah, but I agree with him."

Saif suggests, "The theme should have been black and pink - Barbie vs Openhammer."

Hala prefers, "Barbie is much better, please."

Saif jokes, "I don't know, I've never seen one - I'm a man."

Zainab intervenes, "Stop arguing, guys, please. Shiza Aapi is also ready - let me call her."
