The hotel was bathed in golden glory, with fairy lights draped from the roof to the ground, making the building visible even from space. Inside, the music pulsed through the air as people moved in time. It was Sangeet night, and everything was bright and loud.
The bride and groom, surrounded by their family, gathered in the hall, where a stage stood at one end. From the youngest to the eldest, everyone danced and cheered for the performers. As planned, the men and women took turns dancing in groups and solo, fueling the competition.
When the bridesmaids danced to "Nachde Re Saare," the men responded with "Sab Vele," accompanied by some strategically arranged female partners thanks to Aron. Rayan, Tyler, and Ron stole the show, leaving Riley seething with anger.
"Didn't he learn his lesson yet?" Shirley asked Larra playfully, noticing their other cousin mumbling under her breath. Larra laughed and high-fived her.
"Tyler is doomed!"
When the boys finished their performance, the elder men cheered for them.
"Oh hello, uncle, this is cheating. Remember, girls are not allowed?" Larra said to Aron, who pretended to be offended.
"Uncle?! Me?" he asked Rayan with hurt eyes. Rayan gave him a nervous smile and glared at Larra, who winked back at him.
"But these girls are not family," Tyler said, making Riley more angry.
"So what? Girls are girls!" Riley said angrily, and the women around her nodded in agreement.
"So, the winner is team women!" Larra hopped on stage and announced, jumping up and down. The women in the hall applauded along with her, causing the men to shake their heads in disappointment.
Later, the couples danced to soft music. When Rayan and Shirley swayed to the beat, Larra seized the opportunity to dance with every eligible bachelor in the room-except Ronald Williams. Meanwhile, Ron found himself captivated by a girl who was dancing and laughing wholeheartedly, realizing that he had completely lost himself in her.
He likes her!
Ronald Williams likes Larra McLaren!
The moment Tyler grabbed Riley's waist, she melted into his hold, forgetting her grudges.
Wonderful! Wasn't she supposed to be mad at him?!
By midnight, everyone dragged their sore bodies to their respective rooms. Instead of music, only exhausted groans could be heard.
Riley and Tyler helped her parents into their room and were walking back to their own when they met Larra in the corridor. She was dressed in comfy joggers and a hoodie.
"Where are you going, McLaren?" Riley asked, puzzled.
"I-"
"Wait! It's not safe to roam around at midnight; go back to your room," Riley interrupted her.
"Do you think it's easy in LA?" Larra raised an eyebrow.
"Then-"
"I have some work to do; I'm going to the lawn," Larra cut her off.
"Why-"
"Why can't you take your girlfriend inside? I'm sure you have things to do with her in there," Larra said, looking at Tyler suggestively. Tyler smirked and lifted Riley in bridal style, making her squeal in shock.
"Bye-bye!" Larra waved at them teasingly and walked toward the entrance.
Ron was about to lock the door to his room when he overheard the entire conversation happening in the corridor. He left his room and walked toward the window. After a few minutes, he saw Larra walking along the stone path and sitting on a bench.
