Episode # 4
The sound of a bustling city street–horns honking, people chatting, vendors calling out their wares.
Pihu and Anjali are walking down the crowded sidewalk. Pihu is casually browsing through a shop window while Anjali walks behind her, her eyes scanning the crowd, a bit on edge.
Anjali Kumari (FL's cousin)
*to herself, quietly*
Something feels off today...
Pihu stops in front of a jewelry vendor, admiring the colorful bangles on display. Anjali, still glancing around, seems distracted.
Suddenly, a voice calls out behind them.
Ishita Roy (FL's friend)
Pihu! Pihu!
Pihu turns around with a smile as Ishita, rushes up to them, excitement on her face.
Pihu Kumari ( FL)
*grinning*
Ishita! What's going on?
Ishita Roy (FL's friend)
*breathing heavily, almost out of breath*
Pihu! Is it true? Your parents are planning to take you to stay in Dubai?
Pihu smiles, raising an eyebrow in playful disbelief.
Pihu Kumari ( FL)
Wow, news travels fast around here, huh? Like wildfire!
Ishita Roy (FL's friend)
*laughing*
Haha! I'm so excited for you! Dubai sounds amazing!
Pihu Kumari ( FL)
*shrugging, still smiling*
I mean, yeah. But I don't want to be just waiting for my parents' inheritance. I want to do my own thing. Dubai just seems like a good place to start.
Ishita Roy (FL's friend)
*curious*
What will you do? School? Work?
Pihu Kumari ( FL)
Both! I'm going to continue study and work. Maybe even show the world that I'm more that just someone's daughter.
Ishita looks impressed, nodding approvingly.
Ishita Roy (FL's friend)
You go, girl.
As they chat, Anjali walks a little further down the street, still looking down with a sense of unease, but she doesn't mention anything about the person she thinks has been following them.
Pihu's attention is fully on Ishita, but Anjali remains quietly observant.
Ravi stands at a coffee vendor's stall, attempting to pay for his drink. He checks his wallet and looks flustered.
Ravi De Luca (ML)
*looking a bit embarrassed*
Oh,sorry...I left my money in the car. I will go get it, please wait.
Coffee vendor
*gruffly*
No!No! You sip my coffee, now you say no money? I don't trust!
Ravi De Luca (ML)
*trying to explain, but the language barrier makes it hard*
Please, I just...I go and bring it.
Coffee vendor
*shouting*
No!No! Pay now or I call police!
The argument starts to draw attention from passerby. Pihu and Ishita, noticing the commotion, turned toward the scene.
Anjali, noticing the noise, glances over her shoulder before continuing to scan the crowd.she's still wary of the person who might be following them.
Pihu, hearing the yelling, walks over to the coffee stand, her calm demeanor standing in contrast to the growing tension. She opens her bag and approaches the vendor.
Pihu Kumari ( FL)
*smiling, speaking gently*
Excuse me, sir. Let me pay for him.
Ravi looks at her in surprise, trying to protest.
Ravi De Luca (ML)
No, no, please... I didn't mean...
Pihu Kumari ( FL)
*cutting him off, still smiling kindly*
It's okay. let me pay. She hands the vendor the money.
The vendor grumbles but accepts the money, muttering under his breath. Ravi looks both embarrassed and relieved.
Ravi De Luca (ML)
*muttering to himself*
Thank you... thank you so much.
Pihu turns to Ravi, smiling kindly as she hands him his coffee.
Pihu Kumari ( FL)
*with a teasing smile*
Have a nice day. And maybe don't forget your wallet next time.
She turns to Ishita, ready to walk away, but she can take a step, Ravi looks at her with a grateful expression, still feeling a bit awkward.
Ravi De Luca (ML)
*softly*
Thank you again, ma'am. You didn't have to do that...
Pihu Kumari ( FL)
*smiling warmly*
It's no trouble. Just...take care.
Pihu and Ishita continue walking down the street. Ravi watches them leave, still a little stunned by her kindness. He smiles slightly, clearly impressed by her actions.
As they walk away, Anjali glances over her shoulder once again, still cautious.
she bumps on Neil who's rushing to meet Ravi. He stumbles, eyes wide in surprise.
Neil Bhatt ( ML's bestie/right hand man)
*apologetically, quickly*
Oh! Sorry! Sorry!
Anjali didn't respond. She simply moves aside with a quiet nod, her attention still on the crowd. Neil bows to her, still apologizing.
Neil Bhatt ( ML's bestie/right hand man)
*bowing slightly*
Sorry again!
Anjali doesn't speak, just continues walking to Pihu and Ishita, her expression unreadable.
Neil watches her for a moment, still feeling the awkwardness, but she's already walking ahead.
Pihu, noticing Anjali's tense posture, turns to her with a playful smile.
Pihu Kumari ( FL)
*teasingly*
You're so serious today, Anjali. Come on, loosen up!
Anjali Kumari (FL's cousin)
*without replying,her eyes scanning the street again*
Just...too many strange things today.
Pihu Kumari ( FL)
*shrugs but continues walking her mood still light*
