As soon as Aisha left, leaving everyone in confused silence.

Manvi gave a small smile, turned to the group, and said confidently, "Don't worry, we girls will handle her." She gestured toward Radhika, who flashed a thumbs-up and quickly followed Manvi.

Anaya, with a mischievous glint in her eyes, grabbed a large bottle of wine from the bar.

Without saying a word, she slipped away, hiding it under her jacket as she trailed behind the others.

Thirty minutes passed.

Rivaan, tapping his fingers impatiently on the table, looked around. "Guys... isn't this taking a bit too long? They said they'd handle Aisha, but it's been half an hour."

Aditya, who had been casually checking his phone, straightened up in his seat. "Yeah, you're right. It's been way too long. Something's off."

As a sense of unease settled over the group, everyone instinctively reached for their phones, dialing any of the four girls, but none of their calls went through. The tension in the air grew as they all stood up, heading towards the exit of the club.

"Manvi, Radhika, Anaya... none of them are picking up," Vikram muttered, his brow furrowing. "Where the hell did they go?"

Suddenly, Gaurav froze, his hand shooting to his pocket. His eyes widened in realization. "My bike key... it's missing!"

Everyone turned to him, confused.

"I think... Manvi tricked me," he said, his voice tense. "She must have swiped it, and Aisha already had one of my spare keys for the bike of mine she came in."

"Wait, what?" Veer looked at him incredulously. "So where do you think they went?"

Gaurav hesitated for a second, glancing at Aditya and Ayush. Then he let out a heavy sigh. "Guys, prepare yourselves for the worst."

Vikram frowned, trying to piece it all together. "Why? I mean, Radhika's sensible, right? She'll keep things under control."

At that, Gaurav, Aditya, and Ayush exchanged knowing looks before bursting into laughter.

"Radhika? Sensible?" Gaurav chuckled, shaking his head. "If Aisha and Anaya are chaotic, then trust me, Radhika and Anaya together are drunken disasters."

Aditya leaned in with a smirk. "And all four of them together? Total destruction."

Ayush, rubbing his temples, groaned. "Two years ago, I met Radhika and Anaya in jail. They were both drunk out of their minds, and I had to call Gaurav to bail them out. They'd gotten into a fight and wrecked half the cars in the lot."

Arjun, usually composed, was now wide-eyed with disbelief. "What were you doing with them?"

Before Ayush could answer, Gaurav cut in, glaring at him. "Oh, don't even ask. He was with them-drunk-and part of the fight! It was a miracle they didn't destroy the whole place."
