In Mumbai, five of them got ready for Vaishali's birthday party that evening. Vikram bought a luxury room for several lakhs decorated with twinkling lights to celebrate her birthday.
At first, Vaishali cut the cake to begin the birthday party. The scars of sadness temporarily disappeared as she fell in love with her friends while they share their greetings.
Dhruv had an object with a bottle-shaped tip on top of the small table to play Vikram's favourite "Truth or Dare" game. Today's question is, "What is your opinion about love and marriage?"
Ahana looked at Vikram from time to time. Vikram didn't show his usual face to Ahana today. Within few seconds, her eyes were looking at someone else and everyone started the game happily.
Dhruv first circled the bottle and it points towards Vaishali.
Everyone around the big table had a huge glance at Vishali and eagerly expecting for her reply. Vikram was the one who was more interested to hear her answer. Vikram told Dhruv that he could ask Vaishali this question through the game as it wouldn't hurt her much as if they asked her directly, so they planned to play this as the first game. Then hoping to get her excited by the rest of the games.
Vaishali is also aware of the plan of her friends who have been accustomed to her for so long. Vaishali replied, "I do not want to give life to it again with thoughts that it is already over" She concluded.
Vikram's face withered for a minute as he heard her answer. Then Vaishali circled the bottle and it points to Vikram. Vikram showed a small smile and sighed, "A girl (Rakshita) is coming around who loves me. What can I do? My brother is not married and Vaishali is also there. Only after these two people's marriage. I can think about my marriage until then my situation is pathetic"
Then, Vikram looked at Vaishali with a polite expression on his face, "Vaishali! Have a big heart and get married soon. I will take care of my brother's marriage"
"Vicky... Who loves you? Is she Rakshita? Good Comedy! Vicky, This game rule is, to tell the truth," Dhruv looked at Vikram with a mischievous smile and Shiva nodded too as if Dhruv was right.
"Yes, she had feelings for me but I am not ready. Isn't the human mind always like one? Even I can change" He replied jokingly. Ahana enjoyed the fulfilled talk of Vikram and Dhruv with a small smile. Vaishali stared at Vikram. Vikram looked at Dhruv with a smile.
Then Vikram circled the bottle and it stops pointing at Dhruv. Dhruv smiled and said, "Dude, I'm not even waiting for you in this case. If my girl is okay and I will tie the knot the next day itself. Ha... Ha"
Everyone smiled.
"Super Dhruv! I appreciate your thoughts. Who is the girl?" Vaishali asked him with curiosity. Dhruv rolled his eyes at Ahana for a second and then said to Vaishali, "You all try to find out! Let me tell you at the moment she accepts my love"
"Traitor! Won't you tell me?" Vikram asked.
"Yes, find out by yourself!" chuckled Dhruv.
"Hmm... Is that the girl in your training centre?" asked Vikram doubtfully.
"How smart! Are you trying to figure out the answer from me?" asked Dhruv.
"Hmm" Vikram sat with twisted lips.
Then the bottle aimed at Ahana. Dhruv eagerly listened to Ahana's answer, "I have nothing left to say about love... marriage... Maybe I will definitely share if love enters my heart"
"Glad that no one ever had a place in Ahana's heart till now" Dhruv's mind voice.
Then Ahana turned around the bottle and it aimed at Shiva. Shiva looked at Vikram humbly. Vikram nodded.
Shiva replied, "I had a dream about love marriage from my adulthood"Everyone looked at him with a shock.
Vikram looked at Shiva and said, "Hey Shiva! Congratulations"
Siva replied, "Thank you, sir."
Dhruv laughed at Shiva, "Good! You are my sideman"
The next game is to entertain Vaishali completely. Vaishali is the referee in this. The room is filled with balloons. In this game, the player has to find the balloon with a piece of paper in it. Vaishali have to find a pair and make the decision.
The game is about to start...
The game started with the sound of busted balloons. Vaishali couldn't hold her laughter as she saw the four of them were searching. Shiva escapes from the punishment as soon as he finds out the balloon with the piece of paper. Then, Dhruv found it but he pretends like he didn't get as of to get punishment either with Vikram or Ahana. Both Ahana and Vikram are busy searching for the paper balloon.
Dhruv throws the paper balloon in their direction.Vikram was playing without noticing it, again Dhruv got the paper balloon in his hand. Vaishali saw it and Dhruv escaped from the punishment. Now, the convicts are Vikram and Ahana. To punish them, Vaishali picked up a scroll of paper wrapped in a nearby jar with the word "dance" written on it.
Vaishali cracked up "Hey! Vicky... Dance! Super" Dhruv saw Vikram and Ahana at a fraction of time.
Shiva's mind voice, "These many days I have been seeing their fight scenes only and today is definitely a treat to my eyes"
"Vaishu take another paper. Don't do this! I can't dance" Vikram tried to say.
Ahana pleaded, "Yes madam, I can't dance too"
"Nope! You both should dance" Vaishali replied. Vikram had no other choice but to please Vaishali. Ahana agreed for the same reason.
All the lights go off except the twinkling lights. Their played a beautiful love melody song. Vikram and Ahana slowly moved their legs to that rhythm. The speed of the rhythm speed up their movements. Vikram stretched out his right hand towards Ahana and she placed her fingers in between his. Dhruv, Shiva and Vaishali encouraged them and then she gently move her legs to the rhythm to see Vikram's face.
They gazed at each other for a minute and their touch send shivers to their spine. His breath reaches hers. It was an unexplained feeling for both. Finally, their dance came to an end.Seeing Vaishali's happiness, Ahana decided to make Vaishali happy by losing the game again.
