Mahi: "How can I leave your side? And what do you take me for?"
Samar: "My friend! What's the matter?"
Mahi: "Oh come on, there's no need for thanks in friendship, right?"
Samar: "Oh, then give me my thanks back." [Samar says, laughing.]
Mahi: "Samar, you're so funny."
Samar: "Alright, I have to go now. We'll talk tomorrow."
Mahi: "Okay."
(Samar turns to Kavya.)
Samar: "Hey Kavya, what happened? Why did you walk away like that?"
Kavya: "I don't care what Mahi thinks."
Samar: "Why are you upset?"
Kavya: "Why would I be upset?"
Samar: "If you're not upset, then why didn't you listen to me and walked away?"
Kavya: "You were clinging to Mahi, so what was I supposed to do there? That's why I left."
Samar: "I was just thanking her."
Kavya: "Since when do people give thanks with hugs?"
Samar: "Hey, you know I nearly failed the exam today, but she helped me pass. I got excited and hugged her out of gratitude."
Kavya: "You could have just said thanks, why the hug? And you never thank me."
Samar: "Are you jealous?"
Kavya: "Jealous? Me? No way."
Samar: "Oh yes, you're definitely jealous."
Kavya: "Why would I be jealous of what you do? Whether you hug or shake hands?"
Samar: "Sweetheart, it's written all over your face—you didn't like that I hugged Mahi!"
Kavya: "No, I'm not jealous."
Samar: "Didn't you like it when I hugged her? Come on, we only thank other people..."
Kavya: "Hmm, let's just go home."
Samar: "You get angry so quickly... what's the big deal if I hugged her?"
Kavya: "Yes, I'm always angry, right? And nothing happened when you hugged her, sure... fine."
(Samar, thinking to himself): "Is she jealous? Maybe she didn't like me hugging Mahi in front of her. But why? She's never acted this way before."
Kavya: "What are you thinking? Don't you want to go home?"
Samar: "Why are you upset?"
Kavya: "I'm not upset... let's go home."
Samar: "Hmm... but listen to me first."
(Kavya puts on her headphones and starts listening to music.)
(Samar, thinking to himself): "Who does that? I feel like a chauffeur... she's completely ignoring me with those headphones on..." (Samar stops the bike.)
Kavya: "What happened? Why did you stop the bike?"
Samar: "Am I your driver now? You're just sitting there silently with your headphones on."
