Yash:
"No way—seriously, bro… hahahaha!
What did you do to get slapped on the face?"
Second Brother:
"Wait—bro, are you saying our sister slapped you?!"
Abhi:
(Scratching his head, confused)
"Uhh… I don't know… I don't remember anything!"
(Did she actually slap me? What could I have done to deserve that?!)
Yash:
"Yeah, yeah… of course you 'don't remember.'
Why would you tell us what really happened, right? It's a 'personal problem,' huh?"
Mom:
(Interrupts, stern)
"Where's your cousin? I haven't seen them since last night."
Abhi:
"Maybe… they already left?"
(Suddenly, mark walks onto the terrace, stretching and yawning.)
Yash:
"Whoa! Look who's up early!"
(Grinning)
"So? How was the night, bro?"
Second Brother:
"It must've been sizzling hot, huh?"
Youngest Brother:
"Yeah—and where's cousin-in-law, huh?"
Mark:
(Shaking his head)
"Guys, stop the nonsense.
And don't think I'm the only one who had a 'sizzling night.'"
(Smiling slyly)
"She's sleeping. She didn't get much sleep last night."
(Everyone whistles or raises eyebrows playfully.)
Mark (Noticing Abhi):
"Abhi, man—what's with your face? You look like you saw a ghost."
Abhi:
(Shrugs)
"Nothing. I honestly… don't remember anything from last night.
How about you?"
Mark:
(Laughs)
"All I remember is… it was a long night.
But probably the best I've had."
Yash:
"Brooo… you should have given some time to rest!"
Ishana:
(Speaks up quietly)
"Guys, I'm still here…"
Yash:
"Ohhh, you're here too?
We thought you disappeared.
Why are you so quiet?"
Abhi:
(Teasingly)
"Yeah… why so quiet?
Do you remember anything?"
Ishana:
(Glancing at him nervously)
"No… not really. Do you?"
Abhi:
(Coughs, leans in and whispers to her)
"Let's talk about our private matters later, okay?"
Youngest Brother:
(Watching them closely)
"Ooooo… I knew something happened!
You guys are hiding something!"
Abhi:
(Straight-faced)
"Nope. Nothing happened."
Ishana:
"Yeah… absolutely nothing."
Abhi (To Mark):
"What about you guys? Everything okay now?"
Mark:
"Yeah. We're totally fine."
Mom:
(Sternly)
"Where's your younger cousin? I haven't seen him or his wife."
Yash:
(Sarcastically)
"Don't tell me after all that beer, he jumped off the building!"
Mom:
(Slaps his shoulder)
"What nonsense are you saying?!"
(Everyone rushes toward the edge of the terrace, peering down.)
Mom:
"Hey! Look over there—by the staircase.
The same place Abhi and Ishana were earlier… they're up there!"
Yash:
"Mom, wait!
Don't go there! What if they're in the same position as Abhi and Ishana?!
That's… awkward."
Mom:
"Then who's going to get them?!"
Yash:
"Ishana should go!"
Ishana:
"Why me?! What if I walk in on something again?"
Abhi:
"Come on, Ishana. It won't be awkward for you."
Ishana:
"Why don't you come with me then?"
Abhi:
(Sighs)
"Okay, fine. Let's go."
(They both head up the stairs to the upper level.)
[Upper Staircase – Cousin 2 and Wife 2 Passed Out]
Ishana:
"Bro! Wake up!"
Abhi:
(Squints)
"Everything okay? Can I look?"
Ishana:
"Yeah, it's safe.
Wake up, bro! Sis!"
Cousin 2:
(Groaning)
"Ughh… my head…
Why are you shouting like an alarm clock?"
Wife 2:
(Still half-asleep)
"Who's barking so loud?
This better be a dream…"
Ishana:
"Sis, wake up. Mom's calling you. Come on, let's go downstairs."
Abhi:
"Yeah, morning bro. Time to get back to reality."
[Back on the Terrace – Mom Waiting]
Mom:
"Are you people dumb?!
How can you drink this much that you don't even know where you slept?!"
Mom (Pointing):
"Tell me—what happened last night?!
What were you all doing to pass out in random corners like garbage bags?!"
Youngest Brother:
(Shrugging)
"I honestly don't remember anything…"
Abhi:
"Me neither. Everything's a blur."
Ishana:
"Yeah… I don't recall anything at all."
Cousin 2:
"Same. I don't even know how I got up there."
Wife 2:
"All I remember is sitting with everyone and then… blackout."
Mark:
"I just remember drinking here.
After that—zip. Nothing."
