Scene-9 inside misha's dorm

After taking a bath, MISHA sat on her couch, reflecting on ARVISH's kindness. She noticed the package, opened it, and found a phone inside. There was a note attached: "If you had a decent phone, we wouldn't have been in that mess earlier. I've already saved my number. I don't think you'll need anyone else's."

MISHA chuckled softly, her smile widening at ARVISH's thoughtful gesture.

Suddenly, MISHA heard the doorbell. She opened the door, and ANAYA rushed in, hugging MISHA tightly.

ANAYA: Where have you been? Your phone has been off since evening! I was so scared. I was about to go to the police, thinking something happened to you. I couldn't sleep all night. I decided to wait till morning, and if I hadn't heard from you, I was going to the police station with SAMARTH. He was so worried too. He went to VIVAN's house to ask if he knew anything, but he didn't, and then they both...

MISHA (interrupting gently): Take a breath, babe. I'm completely fine. Look, I'm walking on my own two feet.

ANAYA sat down on the couch, looking visibly upset.

ANAYA: I was really scared.

MISHA: I know it's my mistake, I'm sorry.

ANAYA: I don't need sorry, I need to know where you were the whole damn night!

MISHA sat on the couch and recounted everything that happened, including the realization that she didn't think ARVISH was a monster.

ANAYA (in disbelief): MISHA! Are you serious? Out of all the people in this world, in our entire college, the one who put us in disguise, you're saying he's a nice person? Are you fine bitch?

MISHA thought to herself that ANAYA would never approve of her getting close to ARVISH. ANAYA observed MISHA's inner conflict.

ANAYA: Well, I don't think he's that bad. I mean, every girl wants to talk to him, and he's not interested in any of that. Who knows, maybe he's looking for someone special in his life. Maybe he's changed since he got to know you. Perhaps he's becoming a better person. After all, he's the smartest in our class. If I had the chance, I'd try to get to know him better.

MISHA's expression shifted from hopeless to a glimmer of hope.

MISHA: Really? Should I make a move on him?

ANAYA: Hold up, when did I say that? but yeah! You can charm any guy, girl, and he's just ARVISH (said proudly).

They embraced each other joyfully, but their moment was interrupted by the sudden ring of the doorbell.

MISHA: Now who could this be?

She opened the door and a parcel boy delivered a package. Taking the parcel, she placed it on the table.

ANAYA: What's in the parcel? Did you order something?

MISHA: I didn't order anything!

MISHA opened the parcel to find a beautiful saree and matching sandals inside.

ANAYA: Oh my god! Look at this, it's so beautiful!

MISHA: Yeah, it's stunning. But who could have sent this to me, and why?

ANAYA: Maybe it's for the freshers' program! Oh wait, I forgot to tell you—I signed us up as helpers for the freshmen's orientation. The teacher mentioned that helper students would earn bonus points.

MISHA: When is the freshmen orientation?

ANAYA: It's on Monday!

MISHA: Oh, Monday! (Suddenly realizing it's only Saturday) Monday! And we're supposed to help?

ANAYA: Today and tomorrow.

MISHA sighed tiredly, grabbed her bag, and opened the door.

MISHA: Let's get this over with, right now! And you're coming with me, of course.

They both arrived at the college and noticed that the ART club students were also present.

ARVISH's POV:

I sat in the hall, watching MARG and JENISH play pool.

MARG (teasingly): Jack, you won't believe what I saw this morning. I nearly passed out.

JACK (confused): You're exaggerating, like seeing ARVISH with a girl?

(I start paying attention to MARG and JACK's conversation.)

MARG: Any girl! Dude, you'd lose your mind if I told you about that "any girl."

JACK (shocked): I'm already blown away by the idea of him with a girl.

MARG (with a serious face): In that case, you might just pass out.

VIVAN enters the hall.

VIVAN: Are you guys heading to the college for the freshmen preparation?

MARG: V! You need to understand there's something more interesting than freshmen!

VIVAN: I wish I could be interested in knowing! But for now, I need to go. First-semester students are already there.

ARVISH (stands up from his chair excitedly): First-semester students? (Clearing his throat) Let's go, I need to practice too. It's been a while since we practiced.

MARG and JACK exchange smirks with each other.

VIVAN (stops ARVISH, putting his hand on his chest): I hope you're really going for rehearsal and not for causing any trouble.

MARG: Trust me, V. He's going there for trouble, but his trouble is beautiful, so it's okay.

JACK (smiling warmly): I wish I could join you guys, but I have to go out of state for a meeting. I'll try to join you if I can.

MARG (dramatically): Why does it feel like my group isn't together anymore? One is leaving me, one is caught up with girls, and V here is no fun at all. Looking at him, I feel like...

VIVAN: As I said, I'm not interested in any of your antics.

As V and ARVISH walked out of the door, MARG bid farewell to JACK and followed them to the college.

Once they arrived, ARVISH looked around eagerly, as if he searching for someone.

MARG- aajayegi bhai! Yeh satarmurg ki trh garden upr niche na kr

(She'll be here! Stop acting like ostrich)
