"Beyond The Boundary "

Scene: GOA FLEA MARKET - 10:03 AM

Colors exploded everywhere-tassels, tie-dye, fairy lights, oxidized jewellery, incense smoke swirling in the air. The place smelled like chaat, monsoon rain, and possibility.

Aashna was in her element. Bargaining, bossing, bouncing around barefoot with churis stacked up her arms.

Abhishek trailed behind her, holding her tote bag like a loyal intern.

"Why do you need five pairs of anklets?" he asked, amused.

Aashna grinned, twirling. "So my existence is dramatic, obviously."

She stopped at a small jewellery stall and picked up a pair of jhumkas. Held them up. "Too much?"

"On you? Never."

She blinked. "Are you flirting with me, Mr. Calm & Collected?"

He leaned closer, just enough to make her breath hitch.

"I don't flirt, Aashna. I just tell the truth slowly."

Her cheeks went pink. She turned around quickly, pretending to look at scarves.

Behind her, he smiled.

Then-her voice, quieter: "Why are you so... careful with me now?"

He blinked. "What do you mean?"

"You used to tease me all the time. Touch my cheek. Bump into me for no reason. Now you act like I'll break if you stand too close."

Abhishek sighed. "It's not that I don't want to. It's that... I'm scared to want to."

Aashna turned around, eyes shining but unreadable.

"I know I'm younger. I know I'm loud. But I also know what I feel. And I don't want you to be careful. I want you to be real."

He stepped closer. "Okay. Real?"

She nodded.

He gently reached out, tugged a strand of hair behind her ear, then let his fingers rest there just a second longer than necessary.

"Then know this-I think about you more than I should. I hold back because you deserve someone who isn't just passing through."

She looked up at him. "So stay."

It wasn't a demand. It was a wish.

He exhaled. "I might."

She grinned suddenly. "Only if you buy me those jhumkas."

He laughed, shook his head, and handed cash to the vendor. "You're insufferable."

"And you're whipped."

"Little bit."

They walked on-shoulders brushing, smiles blooming, the space between them smaller than ever.

Scene Shift: Outside the Market - 11:04 AM

Aashna put the jhumkas on, posed dramatically in front of Abhishek.

"Well?"

He looked at her for a long beat.

Then simply said: "Beautiful."

She stopped smiling for a second. Just a second.

Then reached out and quietly held his hand.

No chaos.

Just... this.
