AUTHOR’S POV

The penthouse was bursting with energy.

Music thumped loudly through the speakers while colorful lights flashed across the room.

Girls danced freely in their party outfits while the boys either joined them or simply stood around enjoying the view.

Laughter, cheers, and the beat of the music blended together, turning the entire place into chaos.

But not everyone was part of it.

In one quiet corner of the penthouse sat a girl dressed in a simple black kurti and jeans, watching the party unfold in front of her.

Her eyes moved from one dancing couple to another, silently observing everything.

Suddenly someone tapped her shoulder.

“Abe yaar! Meri bachelor party hai aur tu yahan kone mein baithi hai?” the girl complained dramatically.
(Dude! It’s my bachelor party and you’re sitting here in a corner?)

The girl sitting there looked up calmly.
Tu ja na… main thodi der mein join karti hoon.”
(You go. I’ll join later.)

The girl in the black off-shoulder gown rolled her eyes.
Shivangi… you said that fifteen minutes ago.”

SHIVANGI’S POV

Everything here is so loud.

The music is blasting, people are laughing, glasses are clinking, and the entire penthouse feels like it's vibrating with energy.

And me?

Well… being a middle-class girl, I’m not really used to such extravagant parties. So I’m sitting quietly in a corner, simply observing everything around me.

Oh, I forgot to mention—
this is my best friend Jennifer’s bachelor party.

Actually… it’s a combined bachelor party.

Jennifer and Aditya are so ridiculously in love that they refused to celebrate separately.

So here we are.

And honestly?
I adore them.

They’re the kind of couple who make you believe that true love actually exists.

I smiled to myself.

I was lost in my thoughts when suddenly Jennifer appeared in front of me and tried to drag me to the dance floor.

But I refused.
I just didn’t feel like dancing.

Ugh… I’m moody.

Jennifer sighed dramatically and was about to walk away when suddenly,
the lights went off.

Gasps filled the room.

Everyone looked around in confusion as a song slowly began to play.

Dim lights appeared again, focusing on a tall manly figure standing in the middle of the dance floor with his back facing everyone.

Curious, I walked toward Jennifer.
“What’s going on?” I asked.

She shrugged.
“I don’t know.”

The music grew louder.
And then-
he turned.

The moment he did, several voices shouted in excitement, including Jennifer and Aditya.

ROCKYYY!!”

And just like that, he started dancing while singing along with the lyrics.
