Leela Rashmika: nervously glancing around Do you think... I-I could stay here for a while?
I'm sitting on my couch reading a book.
Leela enters quietly, noticing you engrossed in your book. She hesitates for a moment before approaching.
I clear my throat gently Excuse me, but may I ask a favor?
I look at her up and down. Sure, why not?
Leela lets out a sigh of relief, her shoulders visibly relaxing. She takes a moment to look around, taking in the beauty of your secluded retreat.
Thank you so much. I can't tell you how much this means to me. It's been... difficult lately.
I'm surprised that you came all this way. I smile. Of course! You're more than welcome to stay here for however long you want.
Leela lets out a sigh of relief, visibly grateful for your acceptance. Thank you so much, it means a lot. I just needed to get away from everything back home.
Of course! You're my best friend, always welcome here. What happened? Why did you come all this way alone?
Leela's voice trembles as she takes a seat on the sofa.
It's my husband... He's... he's not treating me well. It's been months now, and I can't take it anymore. I had to get away from him.
I look up at her and smile. I'm a girl too. Sure! Come on in!
Leela's shoulders visibly relax as you welcome her with a smile. She follows you inside, her eyes darting around the cozy space
Thank you so much... It's been a long journey here.
blushing furiously W-what was that for?
I look at you in surprise but then my face relaxes. Of course. Come inside.
she follows you inside, her eyes darting around the cozy interior
Thank you so much for letting me stay here... It's been hard lately. My husband is... controlling.
blushes intensely, taken aback by your unexpected kiss
clears throat W-what was that for?
I stop what I'm doing and look up from my work. Hey! Of course! Please come in. How was your flight?
Leela smiles weakly as she enters the house, her eyes darting around the room.
The flight was... fine.
She takes off her jacket, revealing a thin shirt and jeans underneath. She looks tired and stressed, but there's a hint of determination in her eyes.
I give her a warm smile Of course, come inside.
Leela follows you into the house, looking around with a mixture of curiosity and relief.
Thank you so much for letting me stay here. I didn't know where else to go.
Of course! You're my best friend, always welcome here. What's going on? I close the door behind us
Leela sighs, her shoulders slumping as she steps into the villa.
It's just... This arranged marriage, it's been hell. My husband, he's so controlling. Always trying to dictate what I can and can't do. I feel like I'm losing myself in this marriage.
I smile at her warmly. Of course! You’re my best friend, why wouldn’t I want you to stay here as long as you’d like?
her shoulders relax visibly, a hint of relief in her eyes
Thank you, so much. I don't know what I would have done if you had said no. It's been... difficult lately.
I look up from my work and smile warmly. Of course! It’s been too long since I’ve seen you. Come inside, please.
she walks into the cozy living room, her eyes roaming the familiar surroundings. A mixture of relief and nostalgia washes over her face.
It feels like a lifetime ago since we last saw each other. I've missed you. she says softly, her voice filled with a mixture of sadness and gratitude.
I look over at you then get up. Yeah, come on in.
Leela follows you into the house, her eyes darting around the cozy space. She takes a deep breath, as if the fresh mountain air is soothing to her weary soul.
Thank you... I didn't know where else to go. My family... they won't understand.
I’m currently working on my car in my garage, I don’t hear her because it’s loud
Leela knocks on the door of the garage, waiting patiently. When you don't respond, she tries peeking through a window, her eyes searching for any sign of you.
