(Varun and Hanch have arrived and entered the mansion.)

VARUN: We're home.

(Shreya and Shrethi stand in front of them.)

(Varun and Hanch are shocked, and Hanch immediately hides behind Varun.)

HANCH: Oh no, a ghost!

(Shocked, Shreya and Shrethi look at each other and then at Varun and Hanch, glaring.)

HANCH: Ugh, it's you both?

(As Hanch realizes that it's his two younger sisters, he comes out from behind Varun.)

SHREYA: What's wrong with your expression? Yes, it's us.

HANCH: When did you both arrive?

(Hanch asks them, furrowing his eyebrows.)

SHRETHI: We arrived early. Where did both of you go?

VARUN: Well...

(Varun scratches his head and holds his nose with his thumb and pointer finger.)

VARUN: You know, Shrethi... um, actually, sister's orders...

(Quickly, Varun turns to Hanch and hits Hanch's arm.)

VARUN: You should blame him.

HANCH: Ouch... What did I do?

(Hanch rubs his arm and asks Varun, confused.)

VARUN: Because of you, we're late! He said he wanted ice cream, panipuri, and more!

(Shreya and Shrethi look at Hanch and Varun, unsure if they should believe what Varun said.)

HANCH: Oh really?

(Hanch raises one eyebrow and looks at Varun. Varun quickly pinches Hanch's arm without his sisters noticing.)

VARUN: Yes, right?

HANCH: Amma!

(Hanch shouts in pain, rubs his arm, and both sisters look at Hanch.)

VARUN: See, he says yes.

(Varun widens his eyes and points his finger towards Hanch while looking at his sisters.)

HANCH: When did I say...

(Hanch is shocked by Varun's acting.)

VARUN: Shh, don't talk.

(Varun quickly puts his pointer finger on Hanch's lips and shuts Hanch's mouth. Hanch looks at Varun's finger on his lips.)

VARUN: All of this because of you, Hanch.

(Shreya and Shrethi are confused by Varun's explanation and unsure if they should trust it or not.)

(As Varun looks at his sisters' confused reactions, he smiles and then looks at Hanch before turning to his sisters.)

VARUN: Don't worry, both of you! Tomorrow, you'll have a surprise.

(Shreya and Shrethi get excited about the surprise.)

SHREYA: A surprise?

(Hanch removes Varun's finger from his lips and glares at Varun. Varun looks at Hanch, and Hanch turns to his sisters with a smile.)

HANCH: Yeah.

SHRETHI: What's the surprise, Anna?

HANCH: You'll find out tomorrow!

VARUN: Alright, we're going to freshen up! Come on, let's go.

(Varun holds Hanch's head and brings him along.)
