episode : 2

[Location: Office floor – Rupsa and Piyasa sitting at their desks, pretending to work, but clearly distracted]

(Rupsa is spinning her pen, head down. Piyasa nudges her with her shoulder.)

Piyasa (nudging):

“Hey... how come Shiv Sir showed up so early this morning?”

Rupsa (rolling her eyes):

“Not just showed up — he walked straight into the boss’s cabin without even saying hello! That’s not normal.”

👩‍💼 Piyasa (resting her chin on her hand):

“When the boss switches to his robot mode, we get scared enough — now there are two robots in a secret meeting!”

Rupsa (curling her lip):

“You tell me — what was so urgent this morning that Shiv Sir had to come in person? A phone call would’ve done the job!”

Piyasa (in a serious, dramatic tone):

“Feels like there’s a secret mission going on… maybe the boss is marrying a spy!”

(Rupsa bursts out laughing and shakes her head.)

Rupsa (narrowing her eyes):

“If that robot gets married, I’m only worried about how the bride’s going to survive.”

(They both laugh, but Rupsa keeps glancing at the cabin. Her curiosity is obvious. Just then, the cabin door opens… Shiv Sir walks out with a mysterious smile on his face. Rupsa and Piyasa exchange looks.)

Piyasa (whispering softly):

“Rupu... something’s definitely going on.”

Rupsa (eyes wide):

“And whatever it is… it might hit our lives too.”

[Office – Evening. Everyone is packing up for the day. Rupsa is getting ready to leave]

(Rupsa is tidying up her desk, checks the time, and mutters to herself.)

Rupsa (to herself):

“Ugh… today was a firestorm. I just want to go home, crawl into bed, and disappear…”

(Just then, Piyasa shows up.)

Piyasa:

“You’re heading out? Lucky you… and nobody even yelled at you today!”

(Suddenly, the receptionist’s voice calls out from behind.)

🗣️ Receptionist:

“Rupsa, the Boss is calling you to his cabin.”

(Rupsa freezes. Piyasa widens her eyes.)

Rupsa:

“What?! Now?! I thought today would end peacefully!”

Piyasa (winking):

“Maybe he wants to praise you!”

Rupsa (rolling her eyes):

“Yeah right… maybe he’ll say, ‘Today you worked 97% like me. Now aim for the full 100%.’”

(They both laugh. Rupsa begins walking toward the Boss’s cabin. She pushes the door open and steps inside.)

[Location change – Hriday’s Cabin. The lighting is dim. He’s quietly staring out the window.]

Rupsa (standing there, hesitant):

“Sir… you called me?”

(Hriday slowly turns and looks at her. He watches her in silence for a few seconds.)

Hriday (in a calm, cool voice):

“I have a question for you, Rupsa.”

Rupsa (startled):

“Yes, sir?”

Hriday (stepping forward slightly):

“Suppose someone offered to marry you for six months — nothing personal, just a contract. What would you say?”

(Rupsa’s eyes go wide. Her mouth falls open. Silence for a few seconds. Her voice trembles.)

Rupsa (slowly):

“Sorry, sir? Is this some kind of prank?”

Hriday (with a faint cold smile):

“I don’t have time for pranks. Just answer.”

(Rupsa stands frozen, stunned. The curtain sways softly. The office is quiet under the evening sky. A beam of light filters through the window, falling straight into her eyes.)
