चाहे तुम कुछ ना कहो, मैने सुन लिया...
के साथी प्यार का मुझे चुन लिया, चुन लिया..
मैने सुन लिया..

पहला नशा पहला खुमार..
नया प्यार है नया इंतज़ार..

Just then, Jaanki's eyes narrowed as she saw a group of 'extra Gen Z' girls approaching their table, their swagger evident in their confident strides and bold makeup. One of the girls, exuding a cold, entitled vibe, stepped forward.

"Hey, you! Get up from there, it's our seat!" the girl exclaimed coldly.

"Ohh, why so?" Jaanki asked casually, not even glancing up fully, her tone calm but challenging.

"Didn't you hear? I said it's our seat!" the girl repeated, this time louder, as if sheer volume would get her what she wanted.

"I heard that, and that's why I'm asking why. Why is it your seat?" Jaanki asked again, her voice still calm, but her eyes sharper now.

"Because we're regular customers here!" another girl chimed in smugly, clearly proud of her reasoning.

Jaanki raised an eyebrow, unfazed. "Okay, so is it your reserved seat or something? Because I don't think that's how things work here," she said, her voice cool as ever.

The first girl huffed, annoyed. "Don't you understand what we're saying to you?" she exclaimed, crossing her arms in irritation.

"Yeah, don't be oversmart!" another girl joined in, trying to sound intimidating.

Jaanki smirked, her sarcasm sharp as she shot back, "Ab kya kare, tum logo ke paas toh smartness hai nahi, toh mujhe hi dikhani padegi na!" ["Well, what can I do? Since you all seem to lack smartness, I have to show it, right?"]

Before the girls could retort, Raghav returned to the table, carrying snacks and coffee in his hands. He sensed the tension immediately.

"Hey, what happened?" Raghav asked, placing the sandwiches and coffee down, glancing at Jaanki's steely expression.

Before Jaanki could respond, one of the girls jumped in, her voice suddenly saccharine sweet. "Oh, baby, see na, she's troubling us!" she whined, placing her hand on Raghav's shoulder, leaning in a little too close for comfort.

Jaanki's eyes darkened with anger, but Raghav quickly picked up on her mood and gulped nervously. He tried to smile, awkwardly backing away from the clingy girl.

"Umm...aap apna haath apne paas rakhiye, varna mere liye trouble ho jayega..." he said with a sheepish smile, inching backward.

["Umm...please keep your hand to yourself, or I'll be in trouble..."]

Just as the girl was about to protest, Jaanki stood up, her chair scraping the floor. Her eyes blazed with fury, and for a second, everyone expected her to lash out at the girl. But instead, Jaanki did something no one anticipated.
