INT. COZY CAFÉ - DAY

The café is bustling with a soft hum of conversation and the clinking of cups. Aradhya is seated at a table by the window, sipping her coffee. Priya walks in and spots Aradhya, making her way over with a friendly smile.

PRIYA(sitting down)Hey, Aradhya. Mind if I join you? 😊

Aradhya(looking up)Sure, go ahead.

PRIYA(relaxed)Thanks. I thought it'd be nice to have a chat, get to know each other a bit. ☕️

Aradhya(skeptical)Oh? What's on your mind?

PRIYA(casually)Well, with Tanishq's birthday coming up and all, I thought it might be good for us to connect. We're both important to him, so why not make the effort to understand each other? 🎂

Aradhya raises an eyebrow, a mix of curiosity and caution in her eyes.

Aradhya(softly)I guess that makes sense. What do you want to know?

PRIYA(thoughtfully)Just a bit about you. Your interests, what you're passionate about. It's always good to understand the people who matter to someone you care about. 💬

Aradhya considers Priya's words, taking a moment before responding.
Aradhya(reluctantly)Well, I'm a bit of a bookworm and I like to keep things simple. I'm not great at big social gatherings or making small talk, but I try. 📚
PRIYA(smiling)That's cool. I can relate to that. I'm more of a social butterfly, but I value genuine connections. It's nice to meet someone who appreciates simplicity. 🌼

Aradhya(relaxed)Yeah, I guess it's not such a bad thing. I just find comfort in my own space and my own peace. 🌿

PRIYA(nodding)I get that. It's important to be true to yourself. So, how did you and Tanishq meet? 🤔

Aradhya(softly)We met on the first day of college. I was running towards my class and accidently bumped into tanishq and dropped my bracelet there so,Tanishq give it back to me. It was a simple act, but it meant a lot to me. 🏫

PRIYA(sincerely)That's a nice story. It sounds like he was really kind to you from the start. 🌟

Aradhya(smiling)Yeah, he was. He's always been there for me, even when I didn't expect him to be. 💕

PRIYA(gently)Tanishq is like that—he has a big heart and he cares deeply about the people in his life. I've known him for a while, and he's always been genuine and supportive. 🤗

Aradhya(nodding)I've noticed that too. It's why I've been trying to open up more. It's hard, though, when you've been hurt before. 💔

PRIYA(understandingly)I can relate to that. Trust takes time, and it's okay to take things at your own pace. Just know that you're not alone in this. 🤝

Aradhya(grateful)Thanks, Priya. I appreciate that. It's good to know I'm not the only one who's had to deal with trust issues. 🌟

PRIYA(smiling warmly)You're welcome. It's important to have support. And I'm glad we're having this chat. It's nice to get to know you better. 😊

Aradhya(smiling back)Same here. Thanks for being open and understanding. 🤗They share a warm smile, both feeling more at ease. The conversation continues, with both women feeling more connected as they discuss their lives and experiences.

"Aradhya and Priya continue their conversation, now diving into Tanishq's past."
Aradhya(after a pause)You mentioned Tanishq has been through a lot. What exactly do you mean?
PRIYA(sighing)Well,Tanishq's past is quite a story. He's been through some tough times, but he's always come out stronger. His parents have always been there for him, though things haven't always been easy. 🏡❤️
Aradhya(curiously)Really? I've noticed he's very driven and focused. I was wondering about his background. He seems to keep a lot to himself. 🤔

PRIYA(nodding)Yeah, Tanishq is pretty private about his past. When he was younger, his family faced some financial struggles. It was a challenging period, but they pulled through. His parents are amazing, always supportive and encouraging. 💪🌟

Aradhya(sympathetically)That must have been hard for him. It's clear he values his family a lot. I can see why he's so determined. 💖

PRIYA(smiling)Exactly. He's worked really hard to get where he is now. His family's support has been a big part of his success. They've always encouraged him to pursue his dreams and never give up. 🌟👏

Aradhya(softly)I can appreciate that. It makes me understand him better. Knowing his background helps me see why he's so driven and committed. 🥰

PRIYA(supportively)Absolutely. Tanishq's past has shaped him into the person he is today. He's incredibly kind and generous because of everything he's been through. It's clear he's got a lot of strength and resilience. 👫💖

Aradhya(nodding)It makes me admire him even more. I just want to make sure I'm supporting him the way he deserves. 💖

PRIYA(happily)And he's lucky to have someone like you in his life. It's clear you care a lot about him. 🌹

Aradhya(blushing slightly)I do. And getting to know more about his past helps me understand him better. Thanks for sharing this with me, Priya. 🙏😊

PRIYA(smiling)You're welcome! I'm glad we could talk about this. It's nice to see how much you care about Tanishq. 🌟

They share a warm smile, the conversation deepening their understanding of each other and Tanishq.

INT. COZY CAFÉ - LATERThe mood in the café is relaxed but focused. The conversation between Aradhya and Priya shifts to their current pressures.

PRIYA(sighing)So, with exams around the corner, it seems like we're both swamped with work. 😅

Aradhya(nodding)Yeah, I've been buried in textbooks and notes. It's hard to balance everything, especially with the birthday planning too. 📚

PRIYA(understandingly)I know what you mean. It's a lot to juggle. But we'll get through it. Maybe once exams are over, we can catch up again. 🤗

Aradhya(smiling)Definitely. It's been nice talking with you. I'm looking forward to more of these chats when things settle down. 🌟

PRIYA(grinning)Me too. Let's make sure to keep in touch, even if it's just a quick check-in. Good luck with your studies! 🍀

Aradhya(gratefully)Thanks, Priya. Good luck to you too. We'll make it through this. 📚
