NEXT DAY

INT. COLLEGE CLASSROOM - DAY

The classroom is buzzing with students chatting and settling in. Aradhya, Rajeev, and Shreya sit together, but Tanishq's usual seat is glaringly empty. Aradhya's unease grows. 😟

ARADHYA(looking around, her voice trembling slightly)
"Has anyone seen Tanishq today? His seat is empty." 😕

RAJEEV(surprised, scanning the room)
"No, he's not here. It's strange for him to miss a class." 🤔

SHREYA(looking worried, checking her phone)
"Maybe he's just running late. But I haven't seen him around campus either." 😟

Aradhya tries to call Tanishq, but her calls go straight to voicemail. Her hands shake as she keeps checking her phone. 📱

ARADHYA(frantically)
"I've tried calling him multiple times. He's not answering. This isn't like him at all." 😣

The lecture starts, but Aradhya's mind is elsewhere. She glances at the door every few seconds, hoping Tanishq will walk in. Her anxiety is palpable, and she struggles to focus on the professor's words.

INT. COLLEGE HALLWAY - AFTER CLASS

The class ends, and Aradhya, Rajeev, and Shreya gather at the entrance. Aradhya is visibly agitated, her worry turning into desperation. 😥

ARADHYA(her voice urgent, almost pleading)
"I have to find him. This is not right. Will you come with me?" 😓

RAJEEV(nodding, concerned)
"Of course. We'll go together. We need to make sure he's okay." 🤝

SHREYA(looking anxious)
"Let's check his place. Something must be wrong if he's not answering." 🏠

EXT. TANISHQ'S APARTMENT - EVENING

Aradhya, Rajeev, and Shreya arrive at Tanishq's apartment. The sky is dimming, and the building looks eerily quiet. Aradhya's breathing is shallow, her worry intensifying. 😨

ARADHYA(knocking frantically, her voice breaking)
"Tanishq! It's Aradhya. Please, open the door! Are you in there?" 😢

RAJEEV(glancing around, trying to calm her)
"He might just be out. Let's not jump to conclusions." 🤞

SHREYA(peering through the window, her face pale)
"I don't see any movement inside. This doesn't feel right. Should we call for help?" 🚓

Aradhya dials Tanishq's number again, but it still goes to voicemail. Her anxiety peaks, and she starts to panic. 😔

ARADHYA(voice trembling, tears welling up)
"I'm scared. What if something happened to him? We need to get inside!" 😥

RAJEEV(calmly, but firmly)
"Let's try asking the neighbors again. Maybe someone has seen something." 🙏

EXT. APARTMENT BUILDING - NEIGHBORS' DOORS

They knock on neighboring doors. The responses are unhelpful, and no one has seen Tanishq. 😕

NEIGHBOR(looking concerned)
"I haven't seen him today. I hope everything's okay." 😟

SHREYA(firmly, to Aradhya)
"Let's not lose hope. We're doing everything we can." 🤗

INT. COFFEE SHOP - NIGHT

Later, they regroup at a cozy coffee shop, but the warmth does little to soothe Aradhya's fears. She sits at a corner table, her face a mask of distress. 😢

ARADHYA(speaking through tears, clutching her phone)
"I've contacted everyone. No one has seen him. I'm so scared. What if something terrible
happened?" 😭

PRIYA(reaching out, trying to comfort her)
"Let's try to stay calm. Sometimes these things have a simple explanation. We'll keep trying." 🤗

RAJEEV(trying to reassure her)
"Aradhya, we'll find him. Let's keep our heads together and not give up hope." 💪

SHREYA(supportively, holding her hand)
"Yes, we're here for you. We'll get through this. He's probably just dealing with something personal." 🤝

Aradhya nods, but her worry doesn't lessen. The friends share a solemn moment, united by their concern for Tanishq. The fear and tension are palpable as they continue their search, determined to find out what's happened. 😔

RAJEEV(looking determined)
"Maybe we should try his place again. There's got to be something we're missing."
