~5 years later~
' Where the hell are the firecrackers, Ru?! '
Adi shouted on top of his lungs from upstairs. Ruhaan rolled his eyes and replied,
Ruhaan: It's in the cupboard next to dad's room!
Adi: I can't find it!
Ruhaan: Adi-
He felt a tap on his shoulder and jerked his head to the right. A smiling Tapasya stood beside him.
Tapasya: I'll help him find it.
Ruhaan: Please do.
Tapasya smiled at his puppy face and made her way upstairs to help Adi find the box of firecrackers.
After all, what's a new year celebration without firecrackers, right?
Even though the idea was not evidently eco friendly, but the gang decided to burst a few just to celebrate the five year anniversary of their friendship.
While Adi kept Tapasya busy with finding the fireworks, the rest huddled in the guest room downstairs.
Mitali: Are you sure Tapasya is out of hear shot?
Ruhaan: Yes , Adi is keeping her busy upstairs.
Ananya: Okay fine.... let's go through the plan once more. So at first we'll all gather in the backyard to watch the fireworks and....
Ruhaan: Once the last firework goes off , I will pop the question in front of Tapasya.
Everyone nodded. Shanu suddenly chimed,
Shanu: I still can't believe you're gonna ask her to marry you!
Ruhaan grinned and replied,
Ruhaan: Same.
Ruhaan had struggled to take out time in the last few days to find the perfect ring for Tapasya. Ever since he had joined as a psychiatrist in Vasudha School for the special kids, he had been very busy.
Last week, Tapasya had complained with an annoyed face that he didn't spend as much time with her anymore. And that's when he decided that it was time to pop the question he had wished to ask her since he was 9.
Well it wasn't very easy and he clearly very nervous. So he asked his friends to help him with the plan.
His friends were very supportive when he had broken the news to them. Adi had almost cried.
He figured it was best that he did this on New Year's since everyone had already decided to celebrate at his place.
It was really remarkable that despite having such busy lives, the gang still took out time to hang out together.
Ananya and Daksh had opened a small cafe named Cafe Old School. Throughout these 5 years, they had struggled to make their cafe a flourishing business. And they did indeed succeed. Theirs was the one of the most known cafe near the Aksa Beach.
Shanu had went on to become a journalist in a reputed news channel. Given how much she loved to talk, it was the probably best possible job for her.
Sahil had opened a dance academy named ' VIBGYOR', where he taught dance to younger kids who had a passion for the art.
Tapasya was currently working as an assistant to a really reputed fashion designer. She too had struggled to make a career, from modelling to fashion designing.
Adi had went on to give several auditions and then finally landing a role in a web series, which had been a great hit. Since then, he had been getting a lot of offers from Bollywood too.
