I'll Love You Longer Than Forever

Chapter Eighty Three

At night, after dinner that day, everybody from the gang, apart from Keerti & Shubhankar and their kids, gathered on the private beach outside the hotel for a bonfire. Armaan & Rahul had arranged for snacks to be roasted on skewers to eat through the night - mushrooms, marshmallows, potatoes and whatnot along with lots of beer.

All couples sat together, hugging and cuddling, talking to each other and just completely enjoying the quiteness of the night, when Naina said, "Okay! I'm curious. Aap sab itne time se Sanjeevani mein ek saath kaam kar rahe ho. Aur bus mein aapki baatein sunnke toh mujhe poora yakeen hai ki aap sabne yahaan bohot shararat ki hai."

"Toh point kya hai?" Armaan asked.

"Toh point yeh hai, Jeeju," Naina smirked and the girls hooted at Armaan's blush, as always, "ki, I think aap sabko, Sanjeevani se related apni sabse happy memory share karni chahiye! Humein bhi toh pata chale ki humaare seniors hain kaise."

"Yes!" Sid agreed. "Aap sabko batana hi padega. Lekin, please, koi boring cheez mat batana, jaise ki jab aapko Intern Of The Month ka award mila ya kisi senior doctor, especially Dr. Shashank ne aapki tareef ki. Aisi memories nahi chahiye."

"Aur woh disgusting couples ki tarah koi couple - y memory bhi nahi," Su added. "Aap sabki as friends, jo shaitaani aapne ki, jo masti ki, uski koi memory."

"Wow! Isme toh raat nikal jaayegi," Rahul laughed. "Humne toh yahaan itni kuch kiya hai ki ab kya kahun."

"Lekin ek memory, jo aapki sabse favourite hai, woh toh aap share kar sakte haina?" Yuvi asked.

"Please!" Naina, Yuvi, Sid, Su & JP begged. "Please, please, please!"

"Okay, okay. Fine!" Riddhima announced. "Sab bas ek memory share karenge. Only one. Okay?"

The interns nodded eagerly.

"So, kaun start kar raha hai?" Yuvi asked.

The gang looked at each other, none of them wanting to be the first. Then, as if a silent communication passed through them all, they collectively turned to look at Abhi who had been looking into the sea as if it held the answers to all the mysteries of the universe.

"Abhi!" They screamed in unison.

"Wha? What? What Abhi?" He asked, confused.

"Bhai! Memories? Sanjeevani? Kuch yaad aaya?" Sid asked.

"Oh... Woh?" Abhi questioned.

"Haan. Woh. Sabse pehli baari aapki," Su said.

"Who? Me? No, no," Abhi refused.

"Yes, yes," Armaan countered immediately.

Abhi gulped and looked at Armaan who gave him the stink eye.

"No, no," Abhi repeated.

"Yes, yes," Armaan replied.

"Yes, yes?" Abhi asked miserably.

"Yes, yes," Armaan confirmed.

Abhi sighed. "Okay! Fine! I'll go first!"

"Yay!" Everyone cheered.

"Favourite memory? Meri? Uh... Kaunsi ho sakti hai? Uh..." Abhi thought for a while.

"Um... Armaan, will it be too sadistic if I say that night? You know? With the ring?" Abhi asked, smirking wide.

Everyone immediately understood that Abhi was referring to the boxing match that Armaan had lost.

Armaan just gave him a dirty look that spoke volumes.
