INT. COLLEGE LIBRARY - DAY

The library is filled with students buried in their books and notes, studying intensely. The atmosphere is quiet except for the occasional rustle of pages and the tapping of keyboards.
Aradhya sits at a table, surrounded by open textbooks and notes. She looks tired but determined as she highlights important passages.

Aradhya
(muttering to herself)

Just a bit more on this chapter, then I can take a short break. 📚

She glances at her phone on the table, noting the time. It's late afternoon, and she's been studying for hours. She picks up her phone to send Tanishq a quick message.

Aradhya (TEXT)
Hey, how's studying going? I'm struggling a bit with this chapter. 😅

INT. TANISHQ'S APARTMENT - DAY

Tanishq is at his desk, stacks of books and notes around him. He's typing away on his laptop, taking notes. His phone buzzes with Aradhya's message. He reads it and quickly types back.

TANISHQ (TEXT)

Hey, same here. It's a bit overwhelming. How about a study break together later? 📖

INT. COLLEGE LIBRARY - LATE AFTERNOON

Aradhya receives Tanishq's message and smiles slightly. She replies:

Aradhya (TEXT)

That sounds good. I could use a break. Let's meet in the park for a bit? 🌳

EXT. COLLEGE PARK - EVENING

The park is a peaceful oasis amidst the college campus. Aradhya and Tanishq sit on a bench, both looking worn out but relieved to have a break. They share a quiet moment, taking in the calm surroundings.

TANISHQ(sighing)

I didn't realize how stressful this could get. It feels like there's always something more to cover. 😩

Aradhya(nodding)

I know what you mean. I'm trying to keep up, but it's exhausting. I'm glad we could take this short break. 🌅

TANISHQ(smiling)

Me too. It's nice to have a moment to just relax and talk. 😊

Aradhya(relieved)

Yeah. It helps to remember that we're in this together, even if we don't have a lot of time to spend together right now. 🤗
TANISHQ(holding her hand briefly)

Absolutely. We'll get through this, and then we can enjoy some more time together once exams are over. 💪

Aradhya(smiling)

I'm looking forward to that. For now, let's make the most of these brief breaks. 💖They sit together in comfortable silence for a few moments, enjoying the peace of the park before returning to their studies.

INT. COLLEGE LIBRARY - NIGHT

The library is now less crowded, and the atmosphere is quieter. Aradhya is back at her table, focusing intently on her notes. She looks determined, her earlier stress replaced by a renewed sense of purpose.

Aradhya(to herself)

Just a few more hours, and then I can finally get some rest. 🌜
She glances at her phone, checking the time. A message from Tanishq pops up.

TANISHQ (TEXT)

How's it going? I'm heading to bed soon. Just wanted to check in. 😴

Aradhya smiles and types back:

Aradhya (TEXT)

I'm almost done for the night. Let's catch up tomorrow? 😊

TANISHQ (TEXT)

Sounds good. Good luck with your studies. We'll get through this! 💪Aradhya puts her phone away and returns to her work, feeling reassured by the support and looking forward to their next catch-up.

RESULT DAY

INT. COLLEGE HALLWAY - DAY

The hallway is buzzing with students eagerly waiting for their exam results to be posted. There's a palpable mix of anxiety and excitement in the air. Aradhya and Tanishq, standing together, look nervous but hopeful as they scan the bulletin board for their results.

Aradhya(nervously)

I'm so anxious. I've been thinking about these results non-stop. 😟

TANISHQ(supportively)

I know. It's tough waiting. But remember, we did our best. That's all we can ask for. 😊They approach the bulletin board, and Aradhya's eyes quickly find her name among the list. She scans down to see her grades, her expression shifting from tense to relieved.

Aradhya(smiling)

I did okay! Not perfect, but definitely better than I expected. 😄

TANISHQ(grinning)

That's great news! Congratulations. I'm sure you did better than you think. 👍He moves to check his own results, his eyes searching for his name. After a moment, he finds it and his face lights up with a mix of relief and joy.

TANISHQ(cheerfully)

I did pretty well too! I'm relieved. I guess all the late nights paid off. 😅
