[unedited chapter]
'What surprise?' Lily and Himani asked Harry simultaneously.
It was nearing 8 o'clock; the temperature had dropped to almost 17 degrees in Dharamshala, and the traffic had also decreased.
'We're going to the Radisson Blu.' He said with little to no interest in revealing the surprise.
'What for?' Lily asked, clueless.
'That's where the ICT stays.' Himani stated, ignoring Lily's question.
'What?' Lily asked, with her jaw dropping to the floor. 'Really? Are we going to see them? Agastya too?' Lily squealed, clutching Himani's arms tightly.
'Of course. They're having a small after-party, and I've managed to get all of us invited.'
'I can't believe this. Thaaaank yooooou...' Lily said, leaning a bit and embracing Harry tightly, almost choking him.
'Leave me, or else you guys will have to go without me.' Harry said, trying to catch his breath.
'Oh, sorry, sorry.' Lily sat back after apologising. 'It feels like I'm in a dream. If it is, please God, don't let the alarm go off.' She said, looking up.
'How did you manage to do that?' Himani asked, raising an eyebrow, being sceptical about the party invitation.
'Uh... I...' He scratched his head, hesitating. 'I asked Kedar.'
'What the f-' Lily quickly covered Himani's mouth with her hand before she could swear. 'Why would you ask him?' She asked after forcefully removing Lily's hand.
'I'll do you one better. How did he agree to this?' Lily asked Harry.
'I've got my ways. And we're friends.' Harry boasted.
'Since when?' Himani enquired.
'Oh come on, you barely interact with him.' Lily rolled her eyes.
'You're jealous because I've got friends other than you two.' Harry sneered
'Areh, stop bickering!' Himani hollered, which made them look at her. 'Are we really going to a party wearing this?' She gestured to the blue Indian jerseys they were wearing.'Oh...' Harry trailed off. 'That's a problem.'
'Well, you should've at least told me about your brilliant plan.' Himani said, sarcastically.
'See, I don't care about my outfit right now. All I want is to meet Agastya. Nothing can stop me. You both stay here arguing about whether to wear Sabyasachi or Manish Malhotra to the party. I don't care; I'll go wearing this jersey.'
'Ok, fine...' Harry sighed, agreeing to her.
It was past 8 at night when they arrived at the resplendent Radisson Blu Resort. Two guys at the entrance wearing a suffocating black suit with a gray neck tie stopped them as they walked in.
