Nisha expresses her reluctance to visit their friends Rahil and Rita due to her frustrations with their slow-paced approach to life and Rita's dependency on Rahil for decisions. Despite her initial reservations, Nihar convinces her to go, and two years later, Nihar observes a transformed Nisha, who is now enjoying their company and serving them juice. Nihar reflects on their life together over the past 22 years, noting that they intentionally chose not to have children and have maintained a loving relationship without major conflicts. They have a small circle of friends, including Rahil and Rita, who are also childless due to medical reasons. Nihar is a successful businessman, while Nisha works for a government insurance company. The couple contrasts with Rahil and Rita's dynamic—Rahil is jovial and sociable, while Rita often loses her temper. Despite their differences, the friendships remain significant in their lives.
