The Council Club
11:15pm

The club was filled with people who were there to take a break from their hectic lives and enjoy without any tension. Drinks and snacks were served. Most of the people were dancing on the dance floor, while some were just enjoying their drinks with their friends and chit-chatting. A loud music was playing in the background.

On one of the tables, there were two people seated, busy in themselves.

"Waise aaj tu daru kyun pee rahi hai? Aur woh bhi itni zyada. Agar tere bhaiyon ko pata laga na, toh tu gayi!"Kushal said and started laughing.

"Hahaha...very funny!"Shehnaaz said giving him a fake smile and rolling her eyes at him. She asked the waiter to bring one more shot but Kushal signed him in no, so that he could stop her from getting talli and lose her senses.

"Accha chal bata kya hua, main mazak nahin karunga!"Kushal asked, being serious for some time

"Accha chal bata kya hua, main mazak nahin karunga!"Kushal asked, being serious for some time.

"Arre yaar kal ek bohot hi complicated surgery hai humari. Ussi ko leke hume tension ho rahi hai."Shehnaaz told.

"Tu kabse tension lene lagi bey! Tu na faltu mein hi tension le rahi hai. Tune itne bade-bade surgeries successfully kiye hain, toh yeh surgery bhi successful hogi. Chal ab yeh sab chhod aur chal dance karte hain. Hum yahan enjoy karne aaye hain na ki tension lene. Chal!"Kushal cheered her up and pulled her with him towards the dance floor. She smiled looking at his back and felt blessed for having a friend like him, who was always there to encourage her and support her. She let go of her tension for him and decided to enjoy with him in order to not spoil his mood.

They danced their hearts out, letting go all the tensions for a while. And the punjabi beats were enough to make them dance like crazy.

After some time, when they were tired, they decided to go home. They came out of the club and called their drivers and asked them to bring their cars from the parking lot. They bid each other bye, sat in their respective cars and went from there.

Gills', Parking lot
12:10am

Shehnaaz came out of the car and immediately called Manik to inform him that she has arrived, so that he could open the gate for her. She took her heels in her one hand and stood near the main gate of the mansion, waiting for Manik, while scrolling through her phone using the other hand.

The huge gate of the mansion opened and she looked up from her phone, only to be shocked. The only thought in her mind at that time was 'Now I'm gone!'.

************ ( Flashback )

After the call, Manik was going downstairs to open the gate when he saw Shivay sitting on the sofa, in the living hall.
