Suit yourself Riya made coffee and sat next to Sakshi Sa: you look very tired R: since we solved the mystery Sharon and Shwayam, I have been having weirdest dreams Sa: dreams? What kind of dreams? R: first I see myself playing with maa and baba then suddenly we are in the car, cars crashing everywhere and someone is laughing in the back. I suddenly woke and I realized I was crying in my sleep Sa: it was just a dream, Riya. Probably you need to relax and go out (in Sakshi` mind: Looks like di is getting her memories back) R: maybe Riya noticed Sakshi`s hairclip R: beautiful hairclip Sa: thanks, siddarth gave it to me (she touched the hairclip fondly) R: and these churis you are wearing, didn’t he give it to you two months ago? Sa: yes R: since he gave it to you, you haven’t taken them off. It clashes often with your clothes Sa: I don’t mind. The feeling is nice when I hear them going chanchan Sakshi shook her hands to make the noise R: do you like Siddarth? Sa: ofcourse, I like him. Infact, I like everyone even Arjun sir and Rathor sir R: no, I mean like like Sa: hm? Like what? R: well, you know... having feelings? Sa: feelings for what?

V: a while, maybe more then a month but they recently started dating Ay: WHAT? V: calm down Ay: calm down? How can I calm down? First Shree and Liza and now Arjun sir and Riya V: that’s why they didn’t tell about their relationship. You tell me, if you and Sameer get together, wouldn’t that be a shock too? Ay: true but… V: they will say when they are ready to face your reactions so for now don’t say anything to anyone or ask them Ay: ok, for now I won’t tell or ask V: good, and now let me go and tell Arjun and Riya that the whole ETF team is here Ariya were still walking around when Virat came to them A: what are you doing here, Virat? V: not just me but everyone is also here R: what? Where? (She hurriedly let go of Arjun`s hand) That`s when they noticed the members coming and Arjun grimaced A: what are you doing here, Rathor? S: same as you. Enjoying our day off A: all the malls in Benares and you happened to bring the whole team here S: ofcourse. It`s near the house and don’t forget it was your idea A: Rathor S: what?

R: at two Sa: great, then let`s go eat together. Don’t forget I have all you can eat certificate and I love to share with everyone. Come Man: yeah, di. Let`s go R: ok Arjun couldn’t say anything, he just grimaced and went with the others to eat. Sakshi first ordered for herself, shocking the others with her list and then asked the others to order for themselves Sh: Sakshi, are you sure that you can eat all of that? Sa: yeah, I am sure Sid: let her eat, Shree. She knows her limit Ch: only one person can beat me with eating is definitely Sakshi The poor waiter was shocked with the list of orders that he told the others in the staff room and the cooks came to see who ordered the food were shocked that Sakshi was the one At the same time Arnav got a text from the restaurant about the bill Ar: what? The bill is 90.000 rupees Sam: bhai, I told you that if Sakshi wins, you would regret it Ar: the person who will her boyfriend should be really rich Sam: don’t worry about it, someone is already for her Ar: what? Who? Sam: just concentrate on your work Ar: doofus Scene shifts back to the mall Everyone had already eaten and were headed to the cinema hall Man: Ayesha di, why are you so quiet? Is something wrong? Ay: huh? Oh, it`s nothing, I just ate too much (in her mind: it`s really hard to digest that Arjun sir and Riya are dating) Man: ok Chotu was looking at his phone, he was looking worried so Sakshi asked him Sa: what is wrong, Chotu? Ch: since yesterday I have been trying to get in contact with Rukshar but no response Sa: maybe she is just busy. She is a doctor, you know Ch: true but... Sa: she will contact when she is free. Don’t worry Ch: ok, if you say so A staff of the cinema hall was waiting for Ariya Staff member: sir and ma`am, may I have your certificate? A: here Stm: thank you He checked it, tore the side and gave it back to them Stm: the film starts in 5 minutes. If you want to get some refreshments, the food bar is still open R: thank you Stm: if the people you are with wants to watch the movie, they can buy the tickets if they want S: I will buy. My treat (He gave the staff member money, shocking the other members) Arjun whispered to Sameer: You will regret this, Sameer S: whatever Stm: here, sir. Enjoy the movie. No one has bad heart condition, right? S: no Stm: ok sir, have nice time The staff member went away Chotu whispered to Shree: What is happening today? First Arjun sir made Sameer sir take a holiday and now Sameer sir is buying tickets for us. Am I dreaming? Sh: pata nahi but I won’t say no to free tickets and it`s not a dream L: Riya, sit with us A: excuse me, If I remember correctly Riya and I won the game, so she has to sit with me, understand miss Liza? L: yes, ofcourse sir, my bad A: check all your tickets it has numbers on it, so just sit where your numbers are Riya just shook her head at Arjun`s antics R: guys, let`s go get the popcorn and drinks quickly, a good thing that the food is free thanks to Arnav jijju. The movie will be beginning any minute now They all agreed and went to buy the refreshments. After buying they went inside theater and sat at their “numbered seats” which were far from each other but they could see each other right before the lights dimmed Liza sat with Shree and Chotu in the back, Sameer with Ayesha at the left side, Siddarth with Sakshi in the middle and Virat with Manvi at the right Arjun looked at Riya who sat next to him in third row and said: Riya, if you get scared, hold me tighly. I will protect you R: huh? Arjun, what movie did you choose? A: Sorry, the only way to get closer to you was a Scary movie R: Arjun A: shh. The movie is starting Manvi wanted to change seats with Chotu but couldn’t because the movie was starting Man: I am only sitting here because it is too dark to move V: same here They just looked at the screen and ignored each other. Meanwhile Samesha were just waiting for the movie to start trying to avoid each other gazes The movie started and Riya glared at Arjun when she saw the title, Sameer gave a murderous look at Arjun but Arjun just ignored them Sh: no way, it`s the new conjuring movie L: how many are there? Ch: I lost count Since the beginning of the movie, Riya held Arjun`s arm really tightly and closed her eyes whenever something scary happened, Shriza were closing each other`s eyes while Chotu was busy with his mobile so he didn’t pay any attention to the movie, Sameer at times would hold Ayesha`s hand when he got scared, Saskhi dozed off on Siddarth shoulder, he was looking at her the whole time while Manvi without realizing that she was holding his arm very thightly, her eyes were closed the whole time whispering chants, Virat didn’t say anything. Only when the movie ended, she realized that she was holding him Manv: hm. I wasn’t myself (She lets go of his arm) V: its okay, can happen Sid woke Sakshi up Sid: Sakshi, the movie ended (Sakshi opened her eyes and stretched her arms) Sa: good, it was really boring Sid: you think that was boring Sa: yeah, for me it was. It`s the music and sudden shocks make the movie scary, that`s it Sid: you are really one of a kind Sa: I know They left the theatre while talking about the movie, Ariya were the last to come out R: Arjun, this is the last time you decide the movie A: why? I loved the way you held me R: next time I will press your neck A: with pleasure R: akdhu They were talking when Sameer suddenly came to Arjun S: Rawte, you did it knowingly A: what? S: you know I hate horror movies A: I told you that you will pay for it and next time check the movie first. You should have known then the staff asked about bad heart condition and now you are blaming me. So much for ACP Rathor, karma is very fast S: dekho Rawte The others were just watching knowing either Sameer will hit Arjun or Arjun will hit Sameer but Riya didn’t want that to happen. She was going to intervene when suddenly people were running out of the art gallery opposite the mall and someone screamed: Murder, call the cops SAmjun looked at each other and nodded, they all ran over there Sh: Some vacation, we don’t have any luck (While running) Ch: I know When they reached there, they were shocked to see that it was Asad who was standing beside the body and he was looking horrified, his clothes full of blood and Rukshar and Zoya were holding each other while crying
