At night; after dinner. (11:30 pm)
Zoya: Maya, I have ordered the cake it will reach at exactly 12 am at Jhanvi Maa's house.
Maya: good job Zo. I can't wait to see her reaction.
Zoya: neither can I, well where are others?
Maya: maybe in another room.
Zoya: you wait here I will call them.
Maya: sure jaldi but we have half an hour left.
Zoya: yes, boss.
She went outside and bumped into Rudra.
Zoya: ouch!!
Rudra: easy girl.
Zoya: Rudy, where are the others?
Rudra: Adi has gone to the terrace, and Papa Hooda is resting.
Zoya: ohh okay. Maya is inside, she is arranging things whatever we need to surprise Jhanvi Maa, you go and help her. I will call Adi.
Rudra: as you say, ma'am.
Zoya: achaa, like you, don't want it?
Rudra (scratching his neck): you know me.
Zoya: exactly now go and help her. I will go and see Adi.
Rudra: sure, bye.
Zoya winked and left.
Rudra knocks on the door.
Maya: come in!
Rudra opens the door and Maya sees him.
Maya: where are the others?
Rudra: Adi is on the terrace, and Zoya went there to call him.
Maya: okay, but thank God you came, please help me to shift this sofa towards the bed. So everyone can sit comfortably.
Rudra: jo hokum mere aaka!!
Maya threw a pillow toward him.
Rudra: what?? (he laughed)
Maya: stop with your flirting games, we don't have time.
Rudra: okay ma'am, as you say.
He started helping her on arranging things with lots of banters and giggles.
On the terrace.
Zoya: Adi.. itne andhere mein kya karra hai yeh (she murmured) Adi.. Adi.. where are you Adi? Hello..
Adi: towards your right.
Zoya: mystery man, what are you doing here?
Adi: ek haseen mohtarma ne aaj hume hawe ko feel karne ka tareeka bataya hai, vahi try karra hu.
Zoya: ohh ho ho ho ho.. bhagya khul gaye humare.
Both giggled.
Zoya: chalo, let's go to our room, jhanvi maa ko surprise dena hai.
Adi (holds her hand): 20 mins hai.. bass kuch der aur.
Zoya (nodded): umm.. okay, Rudra is there with her anyways, alone time mil jayega unhe (winks) khair tum batao, tum yaha kya karre ho? pehle waali baat mazak thi I know.
Adi (chuckled): this is like a hobby of mine, dinner ke baad mein terrace pe aake rehta hu kuch der, just looking at the sky and stars. It gives me alag type of sukoon. Saare tension din bhar ka yeh stars ko dekhke gayab hojata hai. Stars are happiness for me I think.
