Eight boys piled into a jeep, eager to go pick up their another friend. The jeep was packed tight and filled with laughter and chatter, and the boys were busy exchanging gossip and plans for the night. The atmosphere was warm and lively as they were heading towards their friend's house. The boys were excited and looking forward to spending the night together. It was sure to be a fun and memorable campfire.

Abhishek Sharma, age 24 years

Mayank Markande, age 22 years

Tilak verma, age 24 years.

Virat Kohli, age 25 years

Rohit sharma, age 26 years

Hardik pandya, age 25 years

Shubman Gill, age 24 years

The car slowed down and came to a stop in front of a big house.

"Where is Ishan? I told him to stand outside his house," Virat frowned, looking around to see no sign of Ishan.

Ishan Kishan, age 21 years

"Let me call him," Hardik said and took out his phone, pressing on Ishan's contact. After a few seconds, the call connected.

"Ishu tu kaha hai ? Aya kyu nehi abhi tak?"

Ishan was the youngest and cutest of the group, everyone doting on him and making him the center of attention. It was no wonder that he was everyone's favorite.

However, there may have been one person who loved him differently, someone who was struggling with their feelings and not quite sure how to express them openly.

"Ata hu bhaiya ruko" Ishan cut the call quickly.

As he stepped out of his house, Shubman  opened the car door for him and let him into the jeep. Ishan jumped in and took a seat in front  of Shubman. Settling himself comfortably before settling in for the ride ahead.

"Girls don't take as long as you do," Tilak teased Ishan, referring to the time he took to get ready and joined them.

Ishan frowned at the dig but quickly shot back with a witty response, "Tujhe bohot jaankari hai ladkiyo ke bareme!"

Abhishek was the first one burst into laughter and Tilak glared at him.

Soon the jeep was filled with a lively atmosphere filled with chatter and laughter, as the eight boys exchanged gossip and teasing. Shubman could not help but secretly admire Ishan's playful energy and how he was able to keep the mood light and fun. Since they were all childhood friends and now go to the same university, they share a deep and strong bond of companionship and closeness.

Virat, Rohit, and Hardik are set to complete their graduation and take over their fathers' business.

Abhishek and Mayank have been in a relationship for two years now and their love is growing everyday. Abhishek is completing his Accounting degree with Shubman and Tilak, while Ishan and Mayank are completing their B.com degree.

The entire group of 8 boys has had a strong bond of friendship since childhood, and they share a deep sense of closeness.

"I'm so excited! This will be my first time going on a campfire." Ishan beamed, joining his hands.

Virat, Rohit, and Hardik have been to a campfire before also and planned to invite their other friends next time.

Ishan felt a little nervous at first, as he had never left his parents before and was a little scared of spending the night in the forest. But when he heard that Shubman would also be going, he mustered his courage and agreed to join them.
