Did he change the name

Time skips.

Everyone is checking their dance partners’ list.

Faiza: Great. Just great.

Bushra: Dii?

Faiza: Kya hai?

Yusuf steps in between them, calm but sharp.

Yusuf: Aap Bushra pe kyu gussa nikal rahi hain?

Faiza: Maine usse kuch kaha? Main toh bas usse puch rahi hoon kya hua.

Amaan: Relax, guys.

Faiza folds her arms, frustrated:

Mujhe participate hi nahi karna chahiye tha.

Yusuf raises an eyebrow.

Yusuf: Toh phir kiya kyun?

Faiza shoots him a glare.

Faiza: Agar pata hota ki aap mere partner ho toh karti hi nahi.

Yusuf laughs under his breath  not mocking, but like he knows something she doesn’t.

Yusuf: Haan toh mujhe konsa aapke saath dance karna hai.

Bushra and Amaan look at each other both caught the strange tension.

Faiza: Main professor se baat karne jaa rahi hoon.

Bushra quickly stops her:

Bushra: Dii ab kuch nahi ho sakta.

Amaan nods:

Amaan: Haan list aa chuki hai.

Yusuf, still smiling slightly  too calm for someone being argued with:

Yusuf: Dekhiye, ab toh aapko karna hi padega.

Faiza glares and storms out of the room.

Amaan watches Yusuf carefully.

Amaan (whispers to Bushra): Bhai gussa nahi ho raha… smile kar raha hai.

Bushra: That’s… dangerous.
