Subham, Saurav, Prachi, and Arav hug Summer before returning to the party. They see Summer talking to Sriya and her friends. Saurav, Subham, and Prachi exchange glances and then look at Arav. Summer notices them and comes over.
Summer: (Walking over) Hey, where did you all go?
[They all look at each other awkwardly before Saurav speaks up.]
Saurav: (Diverting) We just needed some fresh air. So, Summer, what's the situation with Sriya? What are you going to tell her?
[Saurav looks at Arav as he asks, making the situation a bit tense.]
Summer: (Sighing) Honestly, I don't know. Sriya is a really good girl, and I don't want to hurt her feelings, but I need time to think about it.
Prachi: (Gently) It's a big decision, Summer. It's okay to take your time.
Shubham: (Nodding) Yeah, no rush. Just make sure it's what you really want.
Arav: (Quietly) We're here for you, whatever you decide.
Summer: (Smiling weakly) Thanks, guys. I really appreciate it.
[They all stand there for a moment, supporting Summer. The awkwardness slowly fades as they focus on enjoying the party together.]
Saurav: (Trying to lighten the mood) Well, let's not let this spoil the night. It's still a party, right?
Shubham: (Grinning) Absolutely. Let's get back in there and have some fun.
Prachi: (Smiling) Agreed. Come on, arav.
They all head back into the party, determined to make the best of the evening despite the unexpected proposal. Summer feels reassured by his friends' support as he navigates his feelings and the situation with Sriya.
[After the party, Prachi looks at the time and realizes they need to get to the hostel.]
Prachi: (Concerned) Guys, it's almost 11 pm. We need to get back to the hostel.
Summer: (Nodding) Right. Let's go. Sriya, we have to leave now.
Sriya: (Hugging Summer) Bye, Summer. See you at college tomorrow?
Summer: (Feeling uneasy) Yeah, see you tomorrow.
Saurav and Shubham: (Watching Arav) You okay, man?
Arav: (Nodding) Yeah, I'm fine.
[They all say goodbye and head to the car. Summer drives while Arav sits quietly beside him. They drop Prachi, Saurav, and Shubham at the hostel.]
Prachi: (Reassuringly) Arav, don't worry. Everything will be fine.
Arav: (Smiling weakly) Thanks, Prachi.
Saurav: (Waving) See you guys tomorrow!
Shubham: (Cheerfully) Take care, guys!
[Prachi, Saurav, and Shubham head towards the hostel. Summer and Arav start driving home.]
Summer: (Curious) What did Prachi mean by "don't worry"? Is something wrong?
Arav: (Avoiding eye contact) Nothing. Just focus on driving, Sammy.
Summer: (Concerned) Arav, if something's bothering you, you can tell me.
Arav: (Sighing) It's just been a long day. Let's talk about it later.
Summer: (Reluctantly) Okay, if you say so.
They drive in silence for a while, both lost in their thoughts. The tension is palpable, but neither knows how to bridge the gap created by the evening's events.
Summer: (Finally) You know, you can always count on me, right?
Arav: (Softly) I know. Thanks, Sammy.
They continue driving home, the air heavy with unspoken words and unresolved feelings.
