ridz: ab chalo! i want to dance!
they gang all heads to the dance floor and they all dance with each other as a group then suddenly armaan grabs riddhima and pulls her closer to him and says "dance with me"
armaan and riddhima dance with each other all night....
after everyone leaves riddhima changes into a short red nightsuit - a dress but it ends on her thighs, and is spaghetti straps.
she suddenly hears a tapping on her balcony window.
ridz: no..no...sammy i need to call sammy ya nick oh god mera phone kaha hai?
