(winking)
Tom, have you heard about the surprise for Alish today?
TOM
(raising an eyebrow)
Surprise? I haven't heard anything about it.
CRIS
(chuckling)
Well, let's just say today's interview location is a bit different.
TOM
(curious)
And what's this surprise interview about?
CRIS
(smirking)
You'll see, Tom. Just trust me on this.
IN CRIS'S APARTMENT - MORNING
Cris and Alish enter his apartment. Alish looks around, a bit confused.
ALISH
(raising an eyebrow)
Why are we here for the interview? This doesn't seem like a typical location.
CRIS
(smiling)
Well, Alish, today's interview is a bit unique. Let's make ourselves comfortable.
Cris offers Alish a drink, but she declines.
ALISH
(confused)
Cris, why the charade? What's really going on?
CRIS
(sighs)
Alish, I want to be honest with you. Today is my birthday, and I wanted to spend it with you.
Alish's expression changes to surprise.
ALISH
(surprised)
Your birthday? I had no idea.
CRIS
(earnestly)
I know you're married and in love with Ali. I respect that. But I can't deny my feelings for you. I wanted to be upfront about this.
ALISH
(serious)
Cris, I appreciate your honesty. But I'm committed to Ali, and my love for him is unwavering.
CRIS
(regretful)
I understand, Alish. I didn't mean to cause any discomfort. I just had to express my feelings.
ALISH
(softly)
I respect your feelings, Cris. And I hope we can continue to work together professionally.

(nods)
Of course, Alish. I won't let my personal feelings affect our work.

Already missing me, Mrs. Ali?

They share a warm conversation, reinforcing their strong bond.
IN CRIS'S APARTMENT - LUNCHTIME
Alish and Cris sit at the dining table, having lunch together. The atmosphere is friendly, and they chat comfortably.
CRIS
(smiling)
I appreciate you coming over, Alish. This is the best birthday gift I could've asked for.
ALISH
(grinning)
Consider it a friendly gesture, Cris. Happy birthday.
CRIS
(teasing)
So, you're my personal birthday angel now?
ALISH
(laughing)
I wouldn't go that far, but I hope you have a wonderful day.
After lunch, Alish's expression changes, and she looks a bit uneasy.

(concerned)
Is everything alright, Alish?

(nods)
I'm just not feeling too well. I think I should head back.
CRIS
(worried)
Alright, take care of yourself.
Alish leaves Cris's apartment, heading back to her own.
IN ALI'S OFFICE - SAME TIME
Ali is engrossed in his work, going through files and documents. Suddenly, he feels a soft touch on his shoulder, and he turns around in surprise.
ALI
(startled)
Alish?
Alish gives him a warm smile and leans in, planting a kiss on his cheek.
ALI
(happily surprised)
What's the occasion for this lovely surprise?
ALISH
(teasing)
Can't a wife surprise her husband just because?
ALI
(grinning)
Of course she can, and I'm loving it.
ALISH
(playfully)
Well, today I don't have an interview, so I thought I'd spend some time with my hardworking husband.
Ali is pleasantly taken aback by her gesture.
ALI
(impressed)
You're a lifesaver, Alish. I've been buried in these files all morning.
ALISH
(smirking)
Need any assistance, Mr. CEO?
ALI
(smiling)
Actually, I could use a fresh perspective. Some of these ideas are just not clicking.
Alish takes a look at the files and starts giving suggestions.
ALISH
(thoughtfully)
What if you combine this approach with that strategy? It might create a more innovative solution.
Ali's eyes light up as he considers her suggestion.
ALI
(appreciative)
You know what, Alish? That's a brilliant idea. I'm going to work on that.
ALISH
(teasing)
I knew I had a CEO's brain hidden somewhere in my singer husband.
They both share a laugh, and Alish playfully taps his shoulder.
ALISH
(tenderly)
I wish I could be on your side like this more often.
ALI
(sincerely)
Me too. It's amazing having you here, Alish.

DANIEL
(surprised)
Well, well, well. Look who we have here. Alish, in the CEO's den.
ALI
(grinning)
Surprised, Daniel?
ALISH
(teasingly)
I think he just caught me assisting the CEO with his brilliant ideas.
DANIEL
(laughing)
Oh, I see. I won't interrupt the creative process then.
ALISH
(playfully)
Good call.

(pulling Alish)
Dance with me, my love.

DANIEL
(grinning)
Actually, Ali, Alish, there's one more surprise for you.

It's time for a round of truth or dare!

Good morning, Ali.
They share a gentle kiss and then get up to prepare breakfast.
IN KITCHEN - MORNING
Ali and Alish are in the kitchen, cooking breakfast together. Alish looks a bit tired.
ALI
(concerned)
Alish, are you feeling alright? You look a bit off.
ALISH
(weakly)
I'm just a little under the weather. It's nothing serious.
ALI
(worried)
Maybe we should go to the hospital, just to be safe.
ALISH
(shaking her head)
No, Ali. I just need some rest. I'll be fine.
IN ALI AND ALISH'S APARTMENT - BEDROOM - MORNING
Alish is lying in bed, looking pale. Ali sits by her side, gently stroking her hair.
ALI
(softly)
You should really see a doctor, Alish. I'm worried about you.
ALISH
(weakly)
I promise I'll go if I don't feel better soon. Just stay with me for now.
Ali nods, his concern evident in his eyes.
IN ALI AND ALISH'S APARTMENT - LIVING ROOM - MORNING
Ali is sitting on the couch, his worry growing. He notices Alish's phone on the coffee table and sees a message notification from Cris.
ALI
(picking up the phone)
What's Cris texting her about?
Ali opens the message and reads it. His expression changes to anger.
ALI
(frustrated)
"Thanks for coming to my apartment." What's he playing at?
Ali steps outside the bedroom and dials Cris's number.
IN ALI AND ALISH'S APARTMENT - BALCONY - MORNING
Ali paces on the balcony as he talks on the phone with Cris.
ALI
(angry)
Cris, we need to talk. Why are you so persistent in trying to get closer to Alish?
CRIS (V.O.)
(defensive)
Ali, I...
ALI
(interrupting)
No, listen. Alish is my wife. She's off-limits. You should know better than to interfere in someone else's relationship.
CRIS (V.O.)
(apologetic)
Ali, I never meant to cause any harm. I just... I admire her a lot.
ALI
(firmly)
Admiring is one thing, but your actions are crossing boundaries. I won't tolerate it anymore.
There's a pause on the other end of the line.
CRIS (V.O.)
(sighs)
I'm sorry, Ali. I never intended for things to get this far. I'll back off, I promise.
ALI
(calm but stern)
Good. I hope we understand each other now.
Ali ends the call, his expression still tense. He walks back into the apartment, his mind heavy with thoughts.
