*mature content ahead*

सारा जग छड़ के
बस तेनु ही है चुनेया
सारा जग छड़ के
बस तेनु ही है चुनेया
बस तेनु ही है चुनेया
तेनु ही है चुनेया

लाख कहा दिल नु
पर फेर वि है अड़ेया
लाख कहा दिल नु
पर फेर वि है अड़ेया..

हो बह गया हंजुआं दा दरया हो हो..
हो तेरे लई की की नैय करेया हो हो..
हो वेख जीते जी मैं मारिया हो
हो बह गया हंजुआं दा दरया हो हो..

THE NEXT DAY

Aryan had been in London for the last 5 months, working on his movie. When he lands in India, he spams the group chat with messages and voice notes.

Aryan (on the phone): "Yaar Abhay saale, na tu call pick kr raha hai na Ishita. What's wrong?"

Abhishek: "Aryan... milke baat karte hain"

Aryan: "Fine. but you guys are okay, right?"

Abhishek: "Milke batata hoon."

He hangs up, taking a long breath.

Aryan calls Ishita but she doesn't pick up. After some time, she calls him back.

Ishita: "Sorry yaar, team meeting mein thi"

Aryan: "Koi na. What's going on between you and Abhishek?"

Ishita: "Milke batati hoon."

Aryan: "He bhagwan! Yaar kya kaand kar diya tum dono ne?

Ishita: "Main milke baat karti hoon."

Aryan: "Fine. But please take care."

Ishita: "Hmm"

She hangs up.

Aryan (crosses his fingers): "I hope everything's fine."

As soon as he reaches home, he calls both Ishita and Abhishek separately and asks them to meet him at his house.

Ishita (enters and gets teary eyed as she smiles seeing Aryan after 5 months): "Waah! Chamak raha hai Khan, kya baat hai!"

Aryan (laughing as he runs to hug her): "Arre shakal hi itni acchi hai kya karu main bata"

Ishita happily hugs him back tight.

She greets all the other family members and the staff.

Aryan is the only friend of Ishita and Abhishek who knows both of them equally, met both of them at the same time, and considers both of them equally special friends. The others, though are amazing as their friends, but have either known Abhishek for a longer period of time or Ishita and hence, have a slightly deeper connection with one or the other.

Ishita: "Terrace pe chalein?"

SRK: "Haan jao jao. Terrace se to vaise bhi tumhara special connection hai."

Ishita and Aryan smile and head to the terrace.

Ishita (gazing at the stars): "Some things always stay the same."

Aryan: "O melodrama! Bataegi kya hua hai?"

Ishita (gulps): "I and Abhishek...we...we broke up"

Aryan (dumbfounded, feels a shiver down his spine): "Broke what? As in took a break, right? Haan, hota hai, pareshaan ho gaye hoge to thode time ke liye ek doosre se break le liya, right?"
