The rooftop party had been a perfect setting for Cabir's bachelor bash. The boys were having a blast, the music was pumping, and the city lights twinkled below. But there was a certain buzz in the air, a hint of something else brewing.

Abhimanyu was the first to notice it. A quick scroll through his social media revealed Mukti's latest Instagram post. A photo of her and the girls, laughing and looking absolutely radiant, accompanied by a caption that hinted at an unforgettable night.

Dhruv couldn't help but chuckle. 

Dhruv: Oh, they're showing off now.

Manik, enjoying a quiet moment with a drink, felt his phone vibrate. It was a notification from Nandini. Her post, with a teasing caption and a playful wink, showed her having a great time with her instructor.

A wave of jealousy washed over him. "Seriously?" he muttered.

Cabir, ever the observer, noticed Manik's shift in mood. 

Cabir: Jealous, much? (He teased.)

Manik (shot him a look.): What do you think?

Cabir (grinned.): Only one thing to do now, right?

Dhruv (hesitated.): Are you sure we should? I mean... they look like they're enjoying themselves.

Abhimanyu (chuckled.): Seems like the girls are having their fun, but they're forgetting who the real party experts are.

Rishabh, always ready for a challenge, jumped up. 

Rishabh: So what are we waiting for? Let's crash their night!

Manik hesitated for a moment, but the thought of Nandini having fun with someone else was too much. 

Manik: Alright. (He finally said, getting to his feet.) Let's show them how to really party.

With that, the boys grabbed their things and headed out, ready for a night of unexpected twists and turns.

The girls were blissfully unaware of the storm brewing just outside their door. They were lounging on the couch, sipping cocktails, and enjoying the carefree atmosphere of their night.

Navya clinked her glass against Nandini's. 

Navya: I bet the boys are going to see those posts any minute.

Mukti, grinning mischievously, raised her glass. 

Mukti: Let's drink to that.

With a round of laughter, the girls toasted to their viral moment. Alya, her cheeks flushed with excitement, tried to mimic one of the dance moves from their video, nearly toppling over in her attempt. Nandini leaned back on the couch, her eyes sparkling, already feeling the effects of the drinks.

Alya scrolled through her phone and saw that their video was gaining traction. 

Alya: We're going viral tonight!

Nandini, holding her drink, smiled as she watched the video again. 

Nandini: Let's see if this gets Manik's attention. (She said with a playful wink, little knowing that her wish was about to be granted in a way she never anticipated.)
