Kuljeet leads them to the party area...
There is a huge set up converted in a shape of a boat...Soft sand lay beneath their feet as all four of them stood mesmerized by the sight...
The boat stood a mass of glittering gold perfectly setting off against the crimson red of the setting sun...Waves of ribbons fluttering in the breeze...The perfect rhythm of the ocean making music melting the hearts
Kuljeet: Chalo lets go inside
Ram took a deep breath ...smilingly Priya slipped her hand in Ram's sharing his sentiments...
They join a sea of couples ...depicting myriad backgrounds but having one sentiment as a common thread...love
Once inside they are escorted to their table. Both couples get seperate tables...before proceeding Ram speaks to Kuljeet
Ram: Kuljeet this is so good yaar...
Kuljeet: Bhai...just wait and watch...this is gonna be your best night in Australia...Just one request...dont be inhibited by anything just go woth the flow...Once the actual party starts we may get seperated...take this key...its for your cottage...we shall meet in the morning...
Ram: You are scaring me man...i mean its just a party right?
Kuljeet: Whats there to be afraid of ? Its your wife and your life ...
Ram looks around nervously and then at Priya: Ya Right
Ram moves towards Priya
Priya: Why are we given separate tables?
Ram : Actually Kuljeet and Daljeet think that since you are so much in love with me it might be a good idea ...to give us alone time
Priya: RAM !!!!
Ram: Ok ok baba, was just joking...remember its a love theme party so obviously its gonna be just couples...if you want i ll call them and turns back
Priya: Nahi...
Ram turns back to her
Priya: I mean if thats the theme then...
Ram: Oh only because its the theme?
Priya averted her gaze...No...not only because of that every moment spent with you is magical
Ram: Oh my God...i ll faint Priya
Priya: Stop it Ram
All are settled

Moving on this game is pretty simple...
All are looking in anticipation...we shall have a dance...
Ram and Priya heave a sigh of relief...
Announcer: Paper dance
Both Ram and Priya look at each other...
There is huge cheering and clapping all around...
Announcer: So let us have all the couples on the dance floor please...
Ram and Priya step on the paper...
The song starts...
Everything i Do i Do it for you by Bryan Adams
Ram and Priya are dancing slowly both remembering how awkward they were when they first danced and now how things had changed...
The song stops...
Announcer: Now everyone please fold the paper!!!
The paper is folded and another song starts
My heart will go On by Celene Dion
Ram and Priya are a little closer now...Ram's hand firmly on Priya's waist matching her rhythm ...Although Ram's touch wasn't new to her body...she still felt her body respond as it did on the first touch...that was the effect of Ram on her...
The song stops and they fold their paper again...this time Priya and Ram have to come real close other wise their feet would land outside of the paper..
Ram is enjoying every bit of the dance...He always enjoyed proximity to his beautiful wife but having her this close admist so many people gave him a new high...
The next song starts...
Nothings gonna change by love for you by Glen Medirios
Priya has to lean on Ram resting her head on his chest...
Ram: Priya, this is one of my favorite songs...and it so very fits perfectly for us...
Priya buried her head more in his chest
The song stops...
The paper is folded more..now it can only take one pair of feet...Many of the couples are out and are cheering the remaining couples
Ram: Madam you ll have to stand on your toes now
The next song starts
You are still the one by Shania Twain
As priya is on her toes she has almost reached Ram's lips...the intoxicating smell of her hair...getting on Ram...
Ram: Priya ...thank you so much for loving me...with all my flaws ...
Priya: Ram...please dont say thanks...you have given me and my life a new meaning by filling it with so much love ...
The song stops...and now the paper is so tiny that the only option is to lift Priya and Ram himself be on just one leg...
Priya: Ram what will Kuljeet and Daljeet think
Ram keeping a finger on Priya's lips...shhh no ifs and buts tonight
Ram gathers Priya in her arms gently
Priya puts her arms around Ram's neck and her head in his chest...
The last song plays...
I just died in your arms tonight by cutting crew...
Both Ram and Priya throughly enjoy the song
Announcer: And we come to the end of our small game and we have winners...
They are Mr & Mrs Kapoor from India...a big hand to them...
Ram and Priya both smile sheepishly...and we give this gift the them their photographs on all the songs and one T- shirt with their photo printed...
Ram looks at Kuljeet who gives a thumbs up sign...
Ram and Priya are about to turn towards their table when the announcer says
Announcer: Just a minute Mr. Kapoor...as you can see you are standing under the mistletoe and as per the tradition ...you have to kiss your partner...so you cant leave the dance floor before it...
There are huge cheers and claps from all around as Ram and Priya both look up at the Mistletoe and then at each other...
