**INT. WEDDING VENUE - RECEPTION HALL - EVENING**
*The reception is in full swing, with guests mingling and enjoying themselves. In a quiet corner, ROBERT is talking quietly to a few friends, including JACK, while ASH overhears nearby.*
**ROBERT:** (concerned) Have you heard anything more about Ali? His house just vanished into ashes. It's like he disappeared without a trace.
**Ryan:** (whispering) It's so mysterious. I hope they find him soon.
**Kali :** (nervously) Shh, not so loud. We don't want to ruin Ash and Jack's day.

*JACK notices ASH leaving the conversation and follows her outside.*
**JACK:** (gently) Ash, what's wrong?
*ASH turns to face JACK, her eyes filled with frustration.*
**ASH:** (upset) How can they gossip about Ali's disappearance and they are hiding from me? I wanted to find him ,i can't afford losing him ,he is so much to me, and they're hiding from me . Ali did many thing for me and saved me from every trouble. Now its my turn to protect him.
**JACK:** (sighs, placing a hand on her shoulder) I understand, love. They didn't mean any harm, but I agree it's not the time or place. Come, let's go to our room and talk.

**IN HOTEL ROOM - *
*JACK leads ASH into their hotel room, a quiet and comforting space away from the festivities.*
**JACK:** (sitting beside her) Ash, I know you're upset, but creating a scene won't help. We'll find out more about Ali once everyone has gone home. Right now, let's focus on enjoying our wedding day.
*ASH takes a deep breath, visibly calming down as she listens to JACK's reassurance.*
**ASH:** (nodding) You're right, Jack. I just... I wish nothing will happen i can't just celebrate like that. Ali's our friend, and he needs our support, not speculation.
**JACK:** (smiling softly) We'll be there for him, Ash. After tonight, we'll look into it together. But for now, let's go back and celebrate our love with our friends and family.
*They share a comforting embrace, reaffirming their bond amidst the emotions of the day.*
---
**IN WEDDING VENUE - RECEPTION HALL - LATER**
*ASH and JACK return to the reception, their spirits lifted. They join their guests with renewed joy, celebrating their union with love and laughter.
**IN HOTEL ROOM - NIGHT**
*The wedding festivities have ended, leaving ASH and JACK alone in their hotel room. ASH sits quietly on the edge of the bed, visibly upset. JACK paces nervously, unsure of how to comfort her.*
**JACK:** (softly) Ash... your father asked me not to leave you, even after you insisted. He's worried about you.
**ASH:** (tearfully) I know, Jack... I just wanted our day to be perfect. And now Ali... we don't know where he is.
*JACK sits beside ASH, taking her hands in his.*
**JACK:** (gently) I told your father everything. We'll find Ali, I promise.
*ASH nods silently, leaning into JACK's comforting embrace.*

**EXT. BURNT HOUSE - MORNING**
*JACK and ASH stand in front of Ali's house, now reduced to ashes. They search through the debris, hoping for any clue of Ali's whereabouts. JACK holds ASH close as they sift through the remnants.*
**JACK:** (softly) I'm so sorry, Ash. We'll find him.
**ASH:** (voice trembling) What if he's hurt, Jack? What if we're too late?
**JACK:** (stroking her hair) We won't be. I'll ask someone to check every hospital, every shelter. We'll find him.
*ASH breaks down in tears, leaning heavily on JACK for support.*
---
**INT. HOTEL ROOM - LATER THAT NIGHT**
*JACK leads ASH back to their hotel room after a long, emotional day. ASH is still visibly distraught, clinging to JACK.*
