BUA (smelling the air)
Arre wah. Yeh khushboo toh seedha ghar se aati hai. Kiska hai yeh tiffin?
RITU (dryly)
Mera nahi hai. Mera lunch bag itna sad hai ki khushboo hi nahi kar sakta.
PIHU (camera on, excited)
Wait, wait. Mystery tiffin? Main record kar rahi hoon.
BUA (suspicious, defensive)
Tum corporate logon ka khana toh salad aur guilt hota hai. Yeh masala kisi aur ka hai.
RITU (challenging)
Okay, detective, phir proof do. Kiska hai?
BUA (after a beat)
Theek hai. Main laayi thi.
BUA (confessing)
Meri beti ke liye. Uske office wale ladke ne haan bola tha. Aaj train se aati, toh station pe lunch ke saath proposal plan tha.
RITU (softening)
So the tiffin isn’t for us.
BUA (resolute)
Khaana waste nahi hona chahiye.
PIHU (trying to lighten the mood)
Plot twist with protein.
