The farmhouse was filled with loud music and the laughter of the most annoying yet iconic group of friends. Karan was standing on the dining table 'dancing' in his opinion while Amaira was whistling on his ridiculous performance. Sameer and Shrishti beneath the table shouting for Karan to get off it.

Rohan was smiling ear to ear. He himself was a bit tipsy but not as drunk as his gang of idiots who were high on 'Orange Juice'. He smiled nonetheless seeing all his friends losing up a bit until..

Preeta circled her arm around his shoulder almost choking him.

Rohan(narrowing his eyes): Oye..Kya kr rhi..Mujh masoom ki jaan lena chahti..

Preeta(giving him a sarcastic smile): Kya yeh masoom insan mujhe explain krega kii orange juice mein vodka ka taste kyu aa rha..

Rohan(smirking): And I thought tujhe pata hi nhi vodka kaisi taste krti hai..Not so innocent pree

Preeta: Tujhe sachme lagta hai koi innocent insan iss (pointing to Karan who was still doing his ridiculous dance) insan se shaadi kr skta hai..

Rohan(laughing): Insan? Bandar jyada better suit nhi krega..See..And he won the dance competition over me..Main bata rha hu woh judge andha tha..

Preeta was about to respond that it was just because Karan was literally wasted, for he drank the juice like his life depended on it but Sameer's loud shout got her attention.

Sameer(shouting): Oy...Get off the table you idiot..Hum tere weight ke niche dab kr marr jayege..

Preeta rolled his eyes.

Preeta: Sammy..tu aur shrishti waha baithe bhi kyu ho..Table ke niche..

Shrishti(whispering): Shhh..Hum chup rhe hai..

At this, Rohan burst into fits of laughter. Shrishti was trying to hide under a table on which the centre of attention was dancing and to top it all, her expression.

Amaira(giggling): I can see you shrishti..

Shrishti turned to Sameer and hid behind him.

Sameer: Mere piche kyu chup rhi ho..I am shorty..You are lambu..

Amaira: Exactly...(and after a second, she shouted) Roooooohhhhaannn..

Rohan(covering his ears): Haa mere hone wale bacho ki maa..Bol..

Amaira(ordering him): Hide Shrishti...Usko chupna hai and sammy is shorty...

Rohan widened his eyes. This woman was drunk and still had it in her to order him. Damn my life is done for, he thought as she crossed her arms waiting for him to hide shrishti.

Preeta(trying to pull Karan down): Niche utro tum..

Karan freed his arm from her grip and pretended that he just didn't hear that.

Preeta(glaring): Karan..

Karan(still dancing): I can't hear you babydoll..

Preeta turned to see where was Rohan practically fuming at his definition of fun and being the reason she was stuck up in this mess.

Rohan who was pulling up Sameer from ground because Shrishti refused to hide without her love of life felt someone's eyes on him and looked at Amaira but she wasn't looking at him. She was too busy discussing some hide and seek with Shrishti. Confused, he pulled up Sameer and turned only to see Preeta absolutely angry.

He gulped for she looked like a literal dragon ready to burn him with her fire.

Preeta(glaring him): Rohan.. cricket skills dikhane ka time aagya hai..

Rohan: Pree..

But he couldn't complete, seeing a flash of something coming towards him. He was catching things she was throwing at him not even realising what they are.

Preeta(glaring): Sabka music band kr..

And Rohan saw the things were the six phones that belonged to them and for a moment, his only concern was his precious phone. What if he didn't catch it..His precious phone..

Rohan: Pagal vagal hogyi hai..Tut jaata abhi mera phone..

Preeta: Be glad teri haddiyan nhi hai...Jo maine aisi faiki ya todi hai..

Rohan: Speaker band krde sidha..

Preeta(giving him death glare): Do not tell me what to do..

And Rohan's previous thoughts of Amaira disappeared for he felt like his life would be much better than his best friend who going to marry a dragon in about a week.

Preeta: KARAN LUTHRA..AGAR TUM ABHI KE ABHI NICHE NHI UTRE TOH MAIN TUMHARI DEAD BODY GHASEETUGI TABLE PR SE..GET DOWN RIGHT NOW...

At this, even Sameer straightened up from Rohan's grip, Karan got down from table. There was a moment of silence.

Rohan(mouth wide open): Wow..

As if, it was on his cue, everybody returned to their 'drunk mood'. Preeta looked at Rohan and sighed.

Preeta(annoyed): I swear I want to kill you..Khushi manao main tumse pyaar krti hu...

Karan(pulling her towards him): Whattt...Tum mere best friend se..Mere Rohan se pyaar krti ho...

Preeta: Tum jealous kiske liye ho..Mere liye ya uske liye..

Rohan(from the other corner of the hall): Ofcourse mere liye..

Preeta: Chodo Karan..

Karan: Nhi tum mujh pr focus kro..

Preeta looked at him done with this nonsense and stamped his foot rather hard walking away in the other direction.

Rohan pushed Sameer and Shrishti in a room to hide them on Amaira's orders and moved towards her.

Amaira(with a cute smile): Hii..

Rohan: Yeh expression kal bhi yaad rkhna hopefully..

Amaira(hugging him): Kal hamari shaadi hai..

Rohan: Jii haa..Dulha zinda bach gya toh hai hi..Ab toh mujhe bhi nhi smjh aa rha kii maine tum logo ko pilayi kyu hai..

Amaira(confused): Juice..Orange Juice..

Rohan: Ab tum chup chap idhr sofa pr baitho..Main Karan ko smbhalta hu..Vrna pree mujhe kacha chaba jayegi...

Amaira: Par pehle ek kiss...

Rohan(rolling his eyes): How romantic..Par tumne zarurat se thodi jyada pi rkhi hai..Toh thank you very much..Koi romance nhi ho rha yaha..

Amaira(pouting): Kyu..

Rohan: Kyunki tum hosh mein nhi ho madam..Thode se bhi..

He kissed Amaira on forehead seeing her expression and made her sit on sofa. He went towards Karan who was now sitting quietly on table.

Rohan(tapping his shoulder): Hitler kidhr hai..

Karan(kicking his legs): I am ignoring you..

Rohan(sitting beside him): Best Day of my life..

Karan(glaring him): I...Am....Ignoring... You...

Rohan: Okay fine..Kya hua..

Karan: Tune rule toda..

Rohan(confused): Jii nhi..

Karan(sadly): Tune hmari frndship ka rule toda..

Rohan: Maana kii tu hosh mein nhi..Jiski wajah main hi hu..Par hello..Maine hmara koi rule nhi toda hai...

Karan(on the verge of crying): Tujhe toh rules yaad bhi nhi hoge..

Rohan: Excuse me..

Karan: Rule Number 1

Rohan: No one is allowed to leave..Iss marriage mein divorce ka option hi nhi hai..

Karan: Number 2?

Rohan: Seriously..Itna lamba contract sa tha woh..We were 15..Number 2..

Karan: Dekha..Yaad tk nhi..

Rohan(rolling his eyes): Dramebaaz.. Number 2..Sirf hum ek dusre ko prank kr skte hai..Otherwise it's war..

Karan: Rule Number 3

Rohan: Umm..

Karan: See..

Rohan: No girl trouble..Never steal each other's girl..

Karan became quiet. Rohan looked at him wishing he could just bang Karan's head on wall.

Rohan: Are you crazy?

Karan(on verge of crying): Babydoll tujhse pyaar krti hai..

Rohan: Nhi mtlb yeh konsa nasha hai jisme tu emotional ho rkha hai..Table pr gorilla dance hi better tha tera..

Karan: Meri babydoll..

Rohan: Teri hi hai..Thank you very much..Main uss chalte phirte aag ke gole mein bilkul bhi interested nhi hu..I am very much in love with her (pointed towards Amaira)

Karan: Sachii?

Rohan: Jii..

Karan(forwarding his hand): Promise..

And for a moment, Rohan smiled a wholehearted smile. It was just like them to write stupid contracts on friendship rules, believing each other by a high five and going to an extent of planning a runaway wedding for each other.

Rohan(smiling): Promise..

Karan: Par babydoll gussa..

Rohan: Tu bach jayega..Mera pata nhi..Khair chal..Tum sabki energy down hoti hi hogi jaldi..

He dragged Karan ignoring Preeta who was furiously looking at the spiked juice.

Rohan(to Preeta): Rkhde ise kahi..Inhone aur pii toh main nhi smbhalne wala..Aur exactly maine inhe kaha bhi nhi tha kii itna itna juice pina hai..Pata nahi kitne janam se pyaase the...

Preeta made a face and gulped a glass in one go. Rohan widened his eyes and left Karan who fell on floor.

Rohan: What the..

Preeta(snapping at him): Language..

Karan: Ouch..Idiot..

Rohan didn't care. He was going to get drunk too. No way, he is taking care of all of them alone.

Preeta drank another glass and Rohan's only hope was gone. No juice. No hope of getting drunk. No..

His train of thoughts was interrupted when he saw Amaira pulling Karan from ground and Shrishmeer at the other corner of hall. Great! Now all five drunk idiots are together in the hall.

Rohan(sarcastically): Can this day get any better?

He pulled out his phone and called the only sane person he knew hoping she would help him clear out this mess.

Preeta stood on the chair and then on the dining table stumbling a bit trying to balance herself.

Preeta(shouting): Gaowalo...

Rohan sat on chair witnessing all this drama not even bothering to stop it. Let them be, he thought.

Karan: Babydoll..No suicide..

Amaira(looking carefully at the table): Vaise woh uss table pr se girke marregi bhi nhi..

Shrishti: Hey..Phir bhi..She is my best friend..Let's save her..

Preeta(in a high pitched voice): Main suicide nhi kr rhi..

Sameer(covering his ears): Mere kaan..

Preeta: TRUSTFALL..

Rohan who had earphones in his ear smiled seeing her and glad he couldn't hear whatever she was saying.

Karan:Babydoll..I won't catch you..

Preeta: Trustfall..

Amaira: Karan tu use kyu nhi catch krega...

Karan(making a sad face): She said woh ro se pyaar krti hai...

Amaira(making faces): Whattt...Main bhi nhi catch krugi phir..

Preeta: Trustfall..

Sameer: Yeh trustfall hota kya hai..

Shrishti: Woh giregi aur hume catch krna hai..It's for trust..

Sameer: She thinks she can't trust us..

Shrishmeer: We won't catch you..

Rohan(humming the song): Apni toh jaise taise..Thodi aise ya vaise..

Preeta: TRUSTFALL..

Everybody except Rohan: We won't catch you...

Rohan looked at her and wondered what she was doing arms wide standing on table with a large grin and he removed one earplug.

Preeta(just before falling): Trustfall..

Rohan(running towards her): Holy shit woman..

Amaira, Karan and Shrishmeer also jumped to catch her nonetheless and they all collided resulting in shouts of pain. Preeta who didn't fall on the ground smiled and hugged all the people below her.

Preeta: I love you guys..

"GET UP you haathi"

"Shrishti tera per mere muh mein jaa rha hai"

"Shorty you idiot mere upar se utho.. Ahhhh..Meri kamar"

"Babydoll tum thik ho na"

"Yeh sb baad mein krna..Pehle utho..Meri jaan jaa rhi hai yaha..Kitna khaate ho tum log...Oww"

Rohan tried to punch and push everyone above him for he was the one who fell on the rocksolid ground with like five elephants on him.

Rohan: Guys I can't breathe..Get up..

And suddenly everyone was untangled from the mess and Rohan took a breath opening his eyes only to find...

Rakhi: Explanation Please...

Rohan: Mom I love you..

Rakhi: Mom card filhaal nhi chalega..Khada ho aur madad kr meri..Khote da puttar..

Rohan: Meri kamar..

Rakhi looked at Karan who was trying to make sure Preeta was alright. Sameer and Shrishti pulling their hair for her fantastic display of Trustfall.

Rakhi looked at Rohan who just stood up holding his back.

Rakhi(glaring him): Spiked Juice?

Rohan tried to give her the most innocent smile he could muster.

Rohan(rubbing his back): Am I in trouble?

Rakhi: Kaisa rahe agar main tujhe inke saath akela chod jau..

Rohan: Nhi please..

Rakhi: Kisne kitne glass piye hai..

Rohan(pointing towards himself): Half..

Rohan(pointing towards Karan, Amaira and Shrishmeer): Teen..

Rakhi widened her eyes.

Rohan(pointing towards Preeta): I guess do..Mere saamne do..

Rakhi(shaking her head): Aur kal tum mein se chaar ki shaadi hai..

She separated Shrishmeer from Preeran who were rubbing their heads.

Rohan: Main Karan aur Sameer ko lejaata hu..

Rakhi: Sofa..

Rohan(surprised): Kya?

Rakhi gave him one look and he nodded. He went and laid down on sofa. She gave them one bowl of curd each and surprisingly, each one of them even in their drunken state knew better than to argue with Rakhi.

Rakhi sat besides Rohan. He putted his head in her lap.

Rohan: You know aap best ho..I love you the most..

Rakhi(smiling): Jhutha..

Rohan(opening one eye): Nhi sachi..

Rakhi: Can't blame you..Main hu hi perfect..

Rohan(laughing): And I used to wonder where Karan gets it from..

Rakhi shook her head. Rohan sighed.

Rakhi: Toh kal shaadi hai..Bhaag ke..

Rohan: I hope Karan ne aapko invite kia hai..Iss on the run wedding pr..

Rakhi: Yeh 'on the run wedding' plan kisne kii hai...Maine ofcourse ..Mujhe invite krega..

Rohan: I know I've said it but again you are the best...

Rakhi hummed in response.
