Chapter 21: "Revelations Amid Laughter"

The charades game continued, and with each round, the atmosphere grew livelier. Abhinav, known for his preference for non-alcoholic drinks, found himself sipping a mocktail. However, there was a twist in the plot as a mischievous Karthik, sitting next to him, switched the drinks, replacing the mocktail with an alcoholic one.

Abhinav, unsuspecting, took a sip and immediately frowned.

Abhinav: "What's this, Karthik? This doesn't taste like a mocktail."

Karthik couldn't hold back his laughter.

Karthik: "My bad, Abhinav. Looks like our drinks got exchanged. Are you fine because mine was pretty strong".

Abhinav: "I hope so it will be fine because I have low tolerance."

The friends erupted in laughter, with Abhinav sheepishly holding his drink.

Meanwhile, Ramya, sitting beside Karthik, had taken several shots in response to her team's incorrect guesses.

Ayesha noticed Ramya's state and playfully teased her.

Ayesha: "Ramya, you're taking this game pretty seriously, aren't you?"

Ramya grinned and raised another shot glass.

Ramya: "Well, I can't let my team down, can I?"

Abhimanyu, who had been stealing glances at Anupriya throughout the game, couldn't resist the temptation any longer. He leaned over to her.

Anupriya notice it ,get embraced and star blushing they even have an eyes locking movement .

Karthik, who was observing this , couldn't help but feel a pang of jealousy. He had noticed Abhimanyu's glances at Anupriya earlier in the evening, and it had begun to bother him. However, he chose to keep his feelings to himself, not wanting to ruin the fun atmosphere.

As the game continued, with charades becoming more challenging and hilarious, the laughter and camaraderie reached new heights. The atmosphere was light and carefree, and the tensions that had lingered earlier in the evening seemed to have dissipated entirely.

Ayesha, determined to capture Abhinav's attention, tried her best to be the center of attention. She performed her charades with extra flair, her expressive gestures and dramatic acting drawing laughter from everyone.

Karthik, ever the comedian, couldn't resist making a lighthearted remark.

Karthik: "Ayesha, I think we've discovered the next Bollywood star."

Abhinav, his indifference towards Ayesha apparent, responded in jest.

Abhinav: "Well, she's always been a drama queen, hasn't she?"

Ayesha was momentarily disheartened, but she quickly masked her feelings with a playful smile.

Ayesha: "You guys are too much. I'm just here to have fun."

The charades game continued late into the night, with laughter echoing under the starry countryside sky. As the friends reveled in their time together, they found themselves unearthing not only hilarious antics but also deeper emotions and secrets that had remained hidden beneath the surface. The night was a testament to the strength of their friendships, and they looked forward to the adventures that awaited them in the days to come.

Night was still young there so much happen that night everyone created one secret that they can't tell each other .
