Sunday morning. Tanvi expects all of her friends to show up at the doorstep of her apartment, kick-starting their ritualistic weekend activities. In the cafeteria last night, she had a dream of saying something sentimental but nonsensical straight to Samrat's face, after which Farhan woke her up. He offered her a ride home and whispered words of consolation. She wants to thank him and hang out, but is anxious about seeing Samrat.

The clock strikes eight

The clock strikes eight. A few deep breaths after freshening up and changing into a tracksuit, a few more as she puts her hair up into a pony - she's mentally prepared to see him. Just in case he doesn't show up... she'd thank the heavens. What are the chances, though? Samrat will always be with their mutual band of close friends, annoying but inevitable.

"Okay, Tanz. You don't need to dread it. All you need to do is ignore him and hang out with the girls! Aur fir girls bhi toh... they will surely press me for what's happening between me and Sam... ugh... ugh... What's wrong with me?! It's all because of that stupid impromptu confession and stupid dream in the cafeteria!"

Tanvi flicks her reflection's forehead in the mirror and jumps, hearing the sound of the doorbell. Here comes trouble, she thinks. Upon opening the door, though, she's in for a surprise.

Farhan enters her view, grinning, and steps aside to reveal her brother Aryan, holding Shamsher in his arms

Farhan enters her view, grinning, and steps aside to reveal her brother Aryan, holding Shamsher in his arms. Aryan is shorter than Farhan by a few inches, pale skin, dark eyes, and hair like everyone in the Sharma family. Behind the two is Samrat. Tanvi pretends to not notice him.

"Bhaiya!" She can't help but giggle as she flies to hug her brother and Shamsher. A quick group hug later, Shamsher tackles her and licks her face. His excitement is contagious. She holds the dog in her arms and laughs.

"What a surprise, bhai! Tum yahan kaise?" Her words come out when they calm down. Aryan bobs his head with a smile on his face.

"One of your friends said you were feeling low, and we wanted to surprise you! Batao, were you missing home?"
