Next Morning...

Austin and James decided to explore the amusement park, hoping to take a break from the chaos of the world.

They settled onto a bench, sipping their drinks while discussing life and everything in between.

Meanwhile, Aanya and Shanaya entered the park. Shanaya had never been fond of amusement parks, but Aanya's excitement was infectious, and she couldn’t say no.

“See? Isn’t that the same cap-wearing guy from the café?” Shanaya pointed towards Austin.

“Yep, that’s him,” Aanya confirmed, her stomach twisting at the sight.

“Let’s go apologize to him,” Shanaya suggested.

“Okay,” Aanya said with a defeated sigh, bracing herself for another awkward encounter.

Austin’s POV...

“You have a meeting today?” Austin asked James as they relaxed on the bench.

“Yeah, it was supposed to be today, but I pushed it to tomorrow. If they want to meet, they can wait,” James replied, nonchalantly.

“Remember, you have to apologize to that girl if you see her again,” James reminded him.

“Yeah, yeah, I’ll do it. I don’t hold grudges against abnormal people like her,” Austin said with a smirk.

Just then, someone patted him on the shoulder from behind. He turned around to find Aanya standing there, a mischievous smile on her face.

Before he could react, Aanya opened the lid of her cold coffee, splattering it all over Austin’s face.

“What the hell?!” he exclaimed, wiping his face in disbelief.

“Just doing abnormal things,” Aanya shot back, grinning sarcastically.

“Yeah, I’ll apologize to him? Him? Not even in my dreams, Shanaya!” Aanya huffed, glaring at Austin.

“He called me abnormal!” she protested, crossing her arms defiantly.

“You are. Normal people don’t throw coffee on faces. You’re a total nut,” Austin replied, swiping at the remnants of coffee on his cheek.

From a distance, James and Shanaya were watching, both amused and slightly concerned by the escalating banter.

“You called me abnormal when I came to apologize!” Aanya fired back.

“Then apologize, Miss,” Austin challenged, raising an eyebrow.

“Apologize? My foot!” Aanya exclaimed, pointing down dramatically.

“How can the people of Paris allow a gorilla like you to roam around the city?” Aanya shot, her expression a mix of annoyance and playful sarcasm.

“Just like the people of Paris are allowing abnormal people like you to roam around,” Austin retorted, matching her tone with a smirk.

Their playful argument felt like a showdown, with Aanya and Austin fighting like animals, each refusing to back down.

James’ POV

In the midst of their bickering, James couldn’t help but steal glances at Shanaya. The moment he laid eyes on her, it was as if the world around him faded away. He felt breathless, mesmerized by her presence.

Shanaya smiled, casually brushing her hair away from her face, revealing her dimples. It was a simple gesture, but for James, it felt monumental. Her smile lit up the dull park surroundings, and he couldn’t look away.

In that moment, it was as if he had found something he didn’t even know he was searching for. Her laughter mixed with the chaos of Aanya and Austin's argument, creating a perfect soundtrack to his newfound infatuation.

As Aanya and Austin continued their banter, James found himself captivated by Shanaya, wondering how he could get her attention without interrupting the chaos unfolding before them.
