Doorbell rings
It's 6:30 in the morning. Ishika and Ujjwal are sound asleep, unaware of the doorbell ringing. The bell has rung multiple times.

Finally, Ishika's eyes open a bit, and she tries to wake up Ujjwal.
"Kumar," her voice is barely audible.
"Wake up," she says, shaking his shoulder.
"Hmm?" He responds, eyes closed.
"The doorbell is ringing."
"I'll check." Ujjwal says, opening his eyes.

"Who could be here this early?" Ujjwal says as he heads towards the main door.
He opens the door and is surprised.
"Maanvi, you?" Ujjwal exclaims.
"Yes, jiju (sister's husband)," Maanvi gives him a side hug.
"Come in," Ujjwal takes her heavy bag from her.
"How are you, jiju?" Maanvi asks.
"I'm fine. When did you come from the hostel?" He offers her water.
"I got a few days off, so I came straight here," Maanvi says after drinking water.
"Okay," Ujjwal says, yawning.
Maanvi says, "Sorry, jiju, for bothering you so early in the morning."
"It's okay, it didn't trouble us."
Maanvi smiles. "Where is my sister?" she asks, wanting to surprise her.
"Sleeping in the bedroom."
"Come on, jiju, let's surprise her," Maanvi says, and they both head towards the bedroom.
Ujjwal stands a bit back while Maanvi gently caresses Ishika's head.
Ishika thinks it's Ujjwal, so without opening her eyes, she takes her hand and lifting her blanket with her other hand and says, "Come under the blanket and sleep comfortably, Kumar."
Maanvi can't hold back her laughter. She bursts out laughing loudly, and so does Ujjwal.
Hearing the loud laughter, Ishika opens her eyes and sees Ujjwal standing at a distance. When she looks to the other side, she realizes it's Maanvi, her sister.
Ishika feels embarrassed.
Maanvi hugs the embarrassed Ishika.
"I thought it was Kumar" Ishika can't complete her sentence.
While Maanvi is still laughing, Ujjwal says, "You must be tired from traveling. Why don't you sleep here next to Ishika?"
"No, jiju, actually, I wanted to go shopping, so I came here so we all go together."
"This early?" Ishika asks, it's only 6:45.
"No, after freshening up, having breakfast, around 10 AM," Maanvi says, looking at Ishika and Ujjwal.
(After sometime)
"Jiju, you'll be paying for the shopping today," Maanvi says while drying her hair.
"Of course, I will," He replies.
Ishika gives Maanvi a stern look because she doesn't want her to make Ujjwal spend too much.
"Look, jiju, Ishika is giving you a stern look," Maanvi says playfully.
Ishika quickly shakes her head, "No, Kumar, I didn't say anything to you,"
