Priya knocks on Arav's door but gets no response. She enters and gently shakes him awake.

Priya: Arav, wake up. It’s 9 AM.

Arav: (Groggily opening his eyes) Huh? 9 AM? I never sleep this late.

Priya: (Concerned) Are you okay? Are you not feeling well?

Arav: (Sitting up) No, Mom, I’m okay. I just slept late last night.

Priya: (Smiling) It’s okay, Arav. It’s Sunday, so don’t worry. Go freshen up.

Arav: (Yawning) Thanks, Mom. I will.

Priya leaves the room and goes downstairs. Arav gets up, freshens up, and heads downstairs. He enters the dining room and is surprised to see Summer sitting at the table, chatting with his dad.

Summer: (Smiling) Morning, sleepyhead! Finally decided to join us?

Arav: (Rubbing his eyes) Morning, Sammy. I didn’t expect to see you here so early.

Priya: (Laughing) Summer came over to check on you. Said he was worried since you didn’t respond to his texts last night.

Arav: (Embarrassed) Oh, I must have fallen asleep...

Summer: (Grinning) No worries stupid. I Just wanted to make sure you’re okay.

Priya: (Entering the dining room) Breakfast is ready, everyone. Come, sit down.

Arav: (Sitting down) Thanks, Mom.

Summer: (Looking at Arav) So, what’s the plan for today?

Arav: (Shrugging) I don’t know. Maybe just relax and hang out. What about you?

Summer: (Smiling) Sounds good to me. We could watch a movie or something.

Vijay: (Teasing) You boys always have something fun planned. Enjoy your day.

Summer: ofcourse uncle (Highfie with Vijay)

Arav: (Smiling) Thanks, Dad. We will.

They all start eating breakfast, the atmosphere light and relaxed. Arav feels comforted by Summer's presence and his family's support.

Priya: (Gently) Arav, if something's bothering you, remember you can always talk to us.

Arav: (Nodding) I know, Mom. Thanks. I'll be okay.

[They continue their breakfast, chatting and enjoying each other’s company.]
