Arjun turned around and saw that they was light and the music in the outhouse, he didn't understand then why were the parking lights off.
Arjun: It's strange, I think only the parking lights are off...
While saying this he turned to look at Arohi. She was looking towards the sea. She was so busy listening to the sound of the waves that she was rarely bothered what's going around. She had closed her eyes and wanted to feel the cold wind, the atmosphere completely. She was loving the ambiance.
Arjun was just starring at her, speechless!!!... Arohi's face was perfectly lighten by the moonlight. The wind was blowing so softly, it moved few strands of her hair on her face.
"She is so beautiful...How did I not notice it before?? I could sit here for hours watching her"..Arjun thought.
Inside the outhouse...10...9...8...7...6...5...
Arjun lifted his hand to move those few strands of hair from arohi's face. Just as he was about to do that...
4...3...2...1..."HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!!!!!!!"....Everyone shouted.
There were fireworks in the sky and the sound of it brought Arjun back to his senses. He quickly moved his hand back.
"What was I planning to do?? What has happened to me? "...He thought.
Arohi looking at the fireworks...."Beautiful, isn't it?"
Arjun looking at her,"Beautiful Indeed"
Arohi looked at Arjun. They stared at each other for a moment. Arjun then shook his head and looked away.
Arjun: I think I should go inside and wish my friends.
He tried to say it avoiding eye contact with Arohi. She nodded in agreement. Just as he was about to leave, he saw bunch of drunkards coming out of the outhouse towards the parking lot. There was no way that Arjun was going to leave Arohi there alone. Especially when there are drunkards all around. He didn't know why but he felt a bit protective for her. He came back and sat on the bench. Arohi didn't understand his behaviour.
Arjun: Well, i think my friends must have already left for another party. Will call them later.
Inside the outhouse:
Rajeev: Has anyone seen Arjun???
Varun: I think he left.
Rajeev: but he said he won't leave before 12.
"May whatever happened out here with the girl and Varun, was a bit too much for him, I think he must have decided to leave instead"...he thinks..."Won't disturb him now, will call him and wish him later"
Beep...beep...beep...beep...Arjun had received messages...

SMS 4: Funny joke:
"Honey," said this husband to his wife, "I invited a friend home for supper."
"What? Are you crazy? The house is a mess, I haven't been shopping, all the dishes are dirty, and I don't feel like cooking a fancy meal!"
"I know all that."
"Then why did you invite a friend for supper?"
"Because the poor fool's thinking about getting married."
Shaadi ka ladoo, jo khaye woh pachtaya, na khaya toh pachtaya..(Marriage is like a cake, if you eat it, you are sorry and also if you don't )...Take my advice; I don't use it anyway...hahaha 😆...Make wise decision in the coming year..."HAPPY NEW YEAR"...
Arjun thinks.."New friends??...wise decision??...company of a loved one??..stranger becoming friend?"...He looks at Arohi and smiles.
Arjun: Life is so strange. I was having a bad day. My friends cheered me up and asked me to come to the party. Just a moment ago, I had a fight with a girl, wanted to kill her and here I am celebrating the first day of the new year with the same girl.
"Don't know what the new year has in store for me"..He thinks..He remembers his friends who were acting like a future baba...
Arohi: yes, life is indeed strange.
