I GUESS I'M THE ONLY ONE THINKING TO MUCH!!
Nick:
(I forgot that Abhi and Ishana are here too...! I looked back to see where they were. I hope they didn't see this...
What the hell?! They're standing just behind me?! Since when have they been standing here?!)
"Huhhh!! Abhi weren't you guys dancing??"
(An awkward silence fell between us. We didn't know how to explain anything to Abhi. We were just hoping he didn't see anything… and most importantly, that Ishana didn't see it.)
Krish:
(It was awkward, so I thought I should break the silence.)
"Uhmm, Abhi… you didn't tell us where we're going for the bachelor party?"
(Yeah, I know… dumbest question in this situation.)
Abhi:
"Bro, first make it out of this mess alive — then we'll talk about the bachelor party!"
"I already told you guys not to do anything stupid, and now you're asking where we're going for the bachelor party?!"
(I shouted loudly.)
"WHY the hell did this happen?! I warned you guys before, but still, we ended up in this situation!!"
Tia:
"Uhh… guys, guys — listen. Cool down, everyone. First, let's just leave. You can talk after we're out of here... Ishana?"
Ishana:
(I was lost in my thoughts… but I heard someone call my name.)
"Huhh?"
Tia:
"Don't you think we should leave? I mean, we'll come back once they've sorted things out."
Ishana:
"Yeah..."
(I was too shocked to say anything else. I just gave a short reply. It was unbelievable to me… the girl who doesn't even talk to guys just did that?!)
Tia:
"Okay, let's go back to where we were before."
(Everyone started walking silently.)
Maya:
(I broke the silence.)
"What did we just witness, guys? Haha, I can't believe I saw something like that!"
Tia:
"Yeah, right — we didn't see that coming at all."
Luca:
"Well, I thought she was an innocent little girl… but now I've got no words."
Rashmi:
"Yeah, seriously… I still can't believe my eyes."
Sonali:
"I think it's time you start believing your eyes."
Ishana:
"How can you guys do this?! I mean… what will he think about me now?!"
"Do you think after this, he'll still respect me?"
Tia:
"Why do you even care what he thinks? Why does it matter to you if he respects you or not?"
Ishana:
"It's not like that… I just meant, it'll be awkward for us now. He might think that I have friends like this, so maybe I'm like that too."
Rashmi:
"So what? Isn't it good? After all, you wanted to get rid of him. If he thinks like that, maybe he'll back out of the marriage too."
Ishana:
"Yeah… but I don't want my image to be ruined like this."
Tia:
"Why don't you just accept the truth — that you do like him?"
Ishana:
"No, I don't! Why would I like him?"
(There are a lot of things I like about him... his eyes, his body, his height, his behavior, the way he cares about me... Then what's left that I don't like about him? Ughh… it's just... I don't know. But still — I don't want to marry him, that's all I know!)
Tia:
(Come on… just stop ignoring your feelings. I've known you since childhood. I know you like him. You can't hide your feelings from me. I guess I'll just have to help you realize it.)
(No problem — it'll be my pleasure. Then in the future, in front of her kids, I can brag about how I helped her realize her love for him.)
Nick:
"Bro, just cool down. Everything is fine. No one's going to think anything. Relax — we're all grown-ups here."
Abhi:
"I'm not asking whether we're grown-ups or not! The thing is — what just happened, and on top of that, why the hell did you guys have to give them the key and condoms so openly?!"
"And Rocky — don't you think it's a club, so it's obvious the rooms already have basic necessities?!"
Rocky:
"Ohhh… right, I forgot about that. Silly me."
Nick:
"So what if I gave them the key card? Did you want them to continue right here? Would that have been fine with you?"
"I just did a good deed — you shouldn't be shouting at me!"
Krish:
"Relax, guys… it just happened. Everything will be fine."
Abhi:
"How is everything going to be fine? Tell me! Huh? What do you think she will think about me after all this?!"
Sophia:
"Then tell me — what are you thinking about her? After her friend did that with your friend — in front of you?"
Abhi:
"Why would I think anything about her? It's not like she did it..."
Sophia:
"Exactly! That's my point. Her friend did it — not her. And it's not right to judge you for your friend's actions either."
Abhi:
"You've got a point, Sophia. I guess I'm the only one overthinking this way too much."
