◾️The guiding moon◾️
The bonfire was lighted and everyone settled down around it. Anika sat between shivaay and gauri, mallika next to gauri , shruthi next to mallika, Om beside shivaay, rudra beside om, arnav beside rudra and mohit opposite Anika.
" Guys what took you two so long to come?! " mallika asked.
" Yeah, mohit came like 15-20 minutes before you guys!! " om commented.
" Actually, we were coming back..."
" Mallika you ask such dumb questions!! They must have taken time to find wood and stuff. "
Gauri replies shrugging her shoulder.
Anika smiled, this was like a mini victory for her as gauri took her side. This means she didn't loose Ri yet. She was now determined to pave her way back to Ri. To the old them." By the way Anika did you loose something? "Gauri looked towards Anika staring at her.
" No ri, I didn't loose anything? Why?"
" Nothing will tell you when you find it "
" Girls, in which code language are you talking? Lost ? found? We don't understand anything " Arnav surrendered his hands.
" I know, even Om's shayari is easy to understand than this " rudra did his logic sign.
" This is our sis code language!! You guys will never understand." gauri flipped her hair with attitude." I know babe " Anika and gauri looked at each other before giving each other a high five.
" Shayari se yaad aaya, Om ek shayari Ho jaye " mohit said patting om's back.
" Yeah right, go on Om " shivaay cheered. Rest of them also cheered by screaming woo-hoo and yayy.
" OK OK listen,
Maza aata hai kisi ko satane mein
Ruthe naa koi toh maza kya manane mein
Ek dosto se hi toh khushi hai
Warna rakha kya hai iss zindagi aur zamane mein "
" Waah, Waah, Waah, Waah " everyone clapped and cheered.
" Guys, why don't we play some games, make this night more interesting !! What's say?! " shruthi asked.
" Yeah sure, let's play !!!!! Guys LETS PLAY " rudra flirtily winked at shruthi before shouting to bring everyone out of their conversations.
" Rudra we are not deaf!! " om glared at rudra for screaming in his ears.
" And we don't intend to become as well " shivaay joined.
" He was just gaining our attention guys, No need to pounce on him " Anika defended rudra.
" Yeah I know, so what to play?! " gauri asked.
Rudra suggested truth or dare which was immediately rejected. That was so old school. Om suggested to play antakshari which was accepted by everyone. Afterall who didn't like singing, even if it was in a croaky voice.
Arnav suggested to play his guitar while the rest sang to make it more lively. Om started singing as he was the one who suggested this.
" Dekha hazaro dafa aapko phir bekarari kaisi hai,
Sambhale sambhalta nahi yeh dil kuch Baath aap mein aisi hai "
Om stared at gauri lovingly before going to her and asking her hand for a dance. Others cheered for this romantic couple who never had enough of each other. They danced while singing to each other. The rest clapped and cheered once they were done.
