The clock struck eight as Jhavni and Naina stood in front of the mirror in Naina's house, putting the finishing touches on their looks for the night. The soft glow of the vanity lights illuminated the excitement in Naina’s eyes, while Jhavni, though stunning in her fitted emerald bodycon dress, seemed lost in her thoughts.

Naina adjusted her dangling earrings, stealing glances at Jhavni through the mirror. "You know, we’re going to turn heads tonight," she said with a wink, flipping her hair over her shoulder.

Jhavni didn’t respond. She sat on the edge of Naina’s bed, her phone in hand, scrolling absentmindedly.

“Yaar, you were so excited for this when we planned it. Kal se itni chup chap kyon hai? Kya hua hai? Mujhe bataegi?” Naina finally asked, putting down her makeup brush and turning to face her.
