Tangled: When Destiny Chooses Her to Be His Home
Episode 05
Rohan’s house corridor, evening. The house is bustling.. decorators fixing lights, cousins running around, laughter echoing.
Anvi walks through the hallway holding a small tray filled with delicate kundan earrings for Ishita’s sangeet. She’s humming lightly to herself, focused.
At the same time, Aarav walks in from the other side, slightly distracted by a message on his phone. One of the cousins rushes by and nudges him slightly.. enough to throw his balance just a little.
In that exact moment..bump! The tray jolts between them. A couple of earrings fall. Anvi gasps, quickly kneels.
Anvi Sharma (FL)
Oh no! Sorry, I— I didn’t see…
Aarav Mehra (ML)
(kneels too, helping pick things up) No— I wasn’t looking. It’s my fault.
Their fingers touch slightly as they both reach for the same earring. They pause. Eyes meet.. again. Close-up. Soft, uncertain silence.
Anvi Sharma (FL)
These… are for Ishita’s sangeet. Handmade. I should’ve carried them in a box… (smiling awkwardly)
Aarav Mehra (ML)
(studying the delicate work) You made these?
Anvi Sharma (FL)
Yes… I design jewellery. Small business. Passion, mostly. (nods shyly)
Aarav Mehra (ML)
(genuine, but a little awkward) They’re… beautiful. Intricate. Like something you’d see in old Rajasthani paintings.
Anvi looks up, surprised by the thoughtful compliment.
Anvi Sharma (FL)
Thank you. That’s very specific.
Aarav Mehra (ML)
Sorry again… for bumping into you. (straightening up)
Anvi Sharma (FL)
It’s okay. You returned half my tray, so I’d say you’re forgiven. (soft chuckle)
She offers a polite smile and walks off, careful this time. Aarav watches her go. There’s a tiny twitch at the corner of his lips.. as if a smile tried to happen but stayed hidden.
