EVENT HALL

MaNanbir re-entered the event hall as the song "Abhi Toh Party Shuru Hui Hai" from *Khoobsurat* played in the background...

Darwaaze ko kundi maaro 
Koi na bach ke jaane paaye 
DJ ko samjha do, 
Music ghalti se bhi ruk na jaaye 
Thaka thaka jo feel kare wo dou Red Bull gatak le 
Aur jisko dance nahi karna 
Wo jaake apni bhains charaye 

Bolt the door, 
Let no one go out, 
Explain to the DJ, 
Music shouldn’t stop even by mistake. 
Anyone who feels tired should have a couple of Red Bulls, 
And those who don’t want to dance 
Should go and graze their buffaloes.

The hall was dark, lit only by party lights, and some people were already dancing to the song...

Manik: Why’s the room so dark all of a sudden?

Cabir: It’s not that dark, yaar, I can still see your faces!

Manik: Yeah, whatever!

Cabir: Chalo, let’s dance now...

Cabir started doing some dance steps while MaNan stood confused, looking at each other...

Manik: Wait, didn’t you just say we’re playing a game, and now suddenly it’s dancing???

Cabir ignored Manik and danced more, even pulling him to join...

Bas aaj ki raat hai 
Kal se wohi siyaape hain 
Jee bhar ke naach lo 
Na ghar waale na maape hain 
Sab pe apna raaj hai 
Darne ki kya baat hai 
Ye to bas shuruaat hai 
Arey abhi to party shuru hui hai... 
Ye to bas shuruaat hai...

There is just tonight, 
And from tomorrow, it’s the same problems, 
Dance as much as you like, 
There are no people from home here, 
We control everything, 
What’s there to worry about, 
This is just the beginning, 
The party has just begun... 
This is just the beginning...

Cabir: Exactly... Arey abhi to party shuru hui hai...

Manik: So?

Cabir: So, I’m leaving you two alone, and the song’s about to change... (Cabir winked at Manik)

Cabir left, leaving MaNan alone...

Manik: Shall we...

Manik extended his hand... Nandini placed hers in his and asked...

Nandini: Kya?

Manik: Dance, aur kya!!!

Manik pulled her closer, placing one hand on her waist and gently intertwining the other with Nandini’s right hand... Nandini rested her left hand on his shoulder...

The song changed to "Janam Janam" from *Dilwale*... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pIBoAh4OXhQ

Janam janam janam saath chalna yunhi 
Kasam tumhe kasam aake milna yahin 
Ek jaan hai bhale do badan ho judaa 
Meri hoke hamesha hi rehna 
Kabhi na kehna alvida 

Stay with me like this in every birth 
Swear, you swear, come and meet me like this 
We’re one although we are two separated bodies 
Be mine always 
Never say goodbye 

Manik began dancing, and Nandini followed his moves... Slowly, he started singing along...

Meri subah ho tumhi 
Aur tumhi shaam ho 
Tum dard ho tum hi aaraam ho 
Meri duaaon se aati hai bas ye sadaa 
Meri hoke hamesha hi rehna 
Kabhi na kehna alvida 

Only you are my morning 
And only you are evening 
You are pain and only you are rest 
I always worship that 
You be mine always 
Never say goodbye
