As everyone Gether to Go out. 15 to 20 people including Raj and Riya ofcourse. Siya Sees all of them she doesn't know what are they talking about Neither about the party. She was not invited by anyone so. She closes in and asks everyone. What's so much hype about? What are you all talking about?? A Fellow Employee Replies. Mam We are heading out to a nearby Popular Mall for a small welcome party of Riya and Dhruv. Siya says then Oh So how many of all of you are going? She asks curiously. Riya Replies Mam we are like 15 to 20 people and then Siya says oh okay! Happy fun in your small party. She smiles as she is also about to leave now. Just then Riya Stops Siya. And Riya Says Why Don’t you also come with us too? After hearing This Siya Is Shocked about getting invited! And also everyone else. Even Raj! Siya never really gets invited in any parties hosted by the fellow employees most of them just think her as a substitute to Big Belly Boss who is rude and egoist women. Who only thinks about herself. While she clearly does not want to have this kind of imagine. Sometimes she feels bad. But obviously she can't do anything about it. But she used to it now. This is the life where most of people don't like her. While she's a sweet girl inside. Who looks hard outside She’s A Lonely Girl Pretending to Be A Strong Women. She also has a Dark Past. Anyways after hearing this no one can make a word. Nobody really wants her to come and they think it will destroy party mood. Siya says Are You Sure? Riya? I even you all are gonna have fun! I don’t want be great party crusher. Raj listing everything in a shock which is kinda funny his face looks like a swallowed candy at the moment. Siya is also shocked then she asks again are you sure? Riya says yes You should come. You are our boss it be very insulting to not invite you. She doesn't know what to do nobody really wants her to come but just then Dhruv also invites and asks the same. Siya know That Riya and Dhruv are new and are fine and thinking as. A boss but other people won’t be happy with it. But somehow after some forcing. She Argees to come! Not alot people are happy with it. But it is what it is. She cannot be uninvited or anything now so! Raj doesn't think too much he’s anyway didn't wanted to come himself. So he thinks in his mind (it be fun to see Siya in a party and everyone Let's go enjoy One day he thinks) and then he smiles. Everybody books cabs from the office to the mall. And leaves and On The Way Riya Books Another Ticket for Siya for the same Movie. Somehow she Gets it! It was almost the closing time on the app for that specific show timing. So just 20mins before the show they all reach the mall. So no shopping they think now! But some dinner after the movie. They all then decide while going inside keeping in mind alot people live afar and have to travel late at night. Alot of people also came in there bike they own rather then cabs but Siya dosnt’t own a car. So she also came in a cab. Just then they all wait as Riya goes To The Ticket Counter And Grabs all the Tickets for the show! They all are quite excited! Riya is informed that show timing will be delayed by 25mins because of cleaning issue. So like 30-35mins more time is in the Hands she thinks. Usually the shows are never delayed even in small malls or theatre but as it quite late night show and the movie is quite going housefull shows. The cleaning staff have to clear a bad mess before everyone steps in for another show. So Riya comes back and Informs everybody that show will be delayed for 30mins. Everyone goes ohhh so what should we do? For that time being. The girls replies that timing is too low for any shopping and the boys replies. Yes even for dining! So they don't know what to do. Just then Raj makes a word and Says and Points Out to everyone. Hey look ahead! Looks like they are hosting some kind of competition out there? Everyone says Ohh Let's go and check it out then shall we? Then everyone moves to ahead center of mall ground floor. Where some kind contest was going. No one knows what.. Siya was standing with folded hands. Like a Boss kinda funny she not enjoying it the most but it was kinda first experience for her. Even if she was enjoying no one has a idea because she doesn't show her happiness alot! So as everyone reaches the place. They all read the banner. It Said in Bold Letters and and Logo of a Couples Holding Hands. Couples in Making? Couples Together Forever. A Couple Contest with Strangers! Raj and Riya and Siya Read outs the texts writtien in banner they all kinda laughs. Specially Raj. Riya alittle bit. She looks A Bit Sad Too. Siya doesn't care about it. Everyone else is enjoying it. One of fellow Guys Asks. The girl who was somewhat looking like handing the contest with one more girl and a guy! The Fellow Employee asks Hey! What is this contest exactly about?? How does it work?? Can we join too? The girl Replies Yes Sir you can everyone can and it works We Let Everyone of a stranger select there partner through a chit with names Written or they can also handpicks there partner. We rank them as per there tasks we gjve them to perform. And winner will get a prize too! Everyone Gets Excited. But Riya interrupts Says to The Girl that we have movie show in 30mins can we all really play? She asks! The girls replies then I'm not sure it take some time for all of you! Then a guy another fellow employee speaks that hey once we enter they only show advertisement for 15 minutes. Then they actually start the movie! So let's play! Everyone Let's go! And some other people who where also there to participate. Register there names. Everyone does. Expect Raj and Riya and Siya. They all 3 don't. The other fellow employee sees it. And asks Raj! And Riya! To participate. They both don’t want to. Riya says she can’t. But then they both of them are quite forced! Seeing this Siya Says They also have a option of partner picker? So why don't you and Riya both go together rather then the chit game. You both don't want to go. Then you both goto Together and Lose or something she says in Abit funny way! Raj's gets mad the way she said it. Inside Siya also knows that Raj is The other Competition in The Promotion It be fun to see him lose!! She thinks. Raj knows this too. This completely in a sarcastic way. They both want to see eachother. Raj then thinks a smartplan. Riya still Keeps refusing! But then Raj says ok Siya I will pick Riya and participate in the contest but you have to also participate. I see there another random guy is free. Raj's goes ahead asks him. Convinced him. He was stranger not a fellow employee. Siya is shocked and mad. But Raj is enjoying this. Siya then starts to refuse but then Raj said. Hey Now you are backing out. He says this in teasing manner. Everyone else is enjoying it. Siya knows now she is stucked and cannot backout so she Argees.. So Now they are all in. One by One everyone Gets there Chance and perform the tasks which are following. 1. Posing For A Photo with Holding a specific position. They would rank according to the couple which looks great Together. 2. Performing a weird dance steps with a stranger. To see there chemistry which is alot fun! To watch and here they would rank according to how Eachother of them help eachother and perform the steps and there chemistry ofcourse.. 3. And the Last one. By far the most interesting One in which will be hard to do. Is to that The Man Says a Dialogue to Impress not just the girl but also the whole audience and the judge’s.. they would rank here with emotion and passion with The Man says the dialogue. And feeling and expression of the girl how natural it is. Because you saying this to a complete stranger so most of the reaction would be natural as well. Some of couples who where strangers and some fellows employees. Gets Whistles and Applause on the performance. Raj says to Riya. Looks like we have no chance! Riya didn't wanted to do this but she doesn't have any option. She then says Raj why did you agree to do it? You could have said No? She said this in cute way like a Angry kid would say and Raj kinda smiles and Says. That I just don't know Maybe I wanted to do it with you. Riya turns around and her face is kinda red with the words and she says DO WHAT? Raj Replies hey don’t think those stuff. I'm talking about that I accepted the challenge because of Siya. I would explain to you in details later but in short because you where only one I can do this comfortably with and I think you can trust alittle too least we work at same workplace. Doing these all weird tasks with stranger? Would it be good? You are so good looking I mean. You know what I mean by that. You just thought that I'm only thinking about myself I also thought about you that you have to perform with stranger that's why. He said this in a good way. Riya realises that is right before she could say anything. Raj Replies No need of any thanks I can really read your face sometimes I don't know you are quite predictable sometimes. Don’t mind What I said. Riya blushs alittle then He continuous that let's work together and try to give our best. Let's have fun. It been awhile since I did. Riya in her mind (she not liking these all couples games because of her past! But she knows she has to Move on not just for Her Dad’s Sake but also herself! So she decides to let's do it! She ready but she's a bit uncomfortable about Raj. She okay with him she thinks in her sweet mind curiously but she thinks Raj doesn't look like a guy who would use her to take advantage of this situation but she doesn't trust any guys anymore she says in her mind again (I be careful not to be too close like a child she says in her mind) Then just then There Names are called out Riya comes back in present. Everyone Applause and wishing good luck to both of them. Siya looking and also enjoying but alittle frustrated she will have to perform this cheap stuff she thinks. But least she will enjoy the performance of Raj so maybe it's worth a shot she thinks. So Raj and Riya starts with First Task posing for Photo. This one is simple one for both of them and there is No Need for any closeness in this so they hold there hands together and wave at crowd and pose for a picture. And it's taken. EasyVeesy Raj says to Riya. Riya Smiles at how silly Raj is behaving like a child. Raj is quite excited! Anyways Move on to the Next Task. Which the Dance steps. Now this is something not just hard for Riya. But it also bring them closeness and Riya’s Dark Past Memory. Riya is hesitating quite a lot to perform these dance steps. But Raj Then Takes Her Hands to Asks Her simply look into my eyes. Let me handle everything. He says with alot more confidence. Riya looks in his eyes. And she gets kinda lost they both locked into each other eyes. Raj doesn't know what is it. He’s not very good with dancing but he was alright in school and college dance stuff. Riya on the other hand is way better but hesitating to perform her best yet. But as She Gets confidence from Raj. And Raj closes in And says slowly into her Ears (You Can Do It Riya Let's do it I'm not best but I'm trying Least) hearing this Riya gets a good happy feeling and now well she is confident and she takes the charge to the dance. Raj is shocked with this but it’s nothing for Riya. As she was once the Dance champion in her College Days. So they both really enjoys this. Somehow Lost into each other. Forgetting alot people watching them. Riya doesn't know she doesn't feel anything to Raj but for some reason. She feels Safe with Him and His Touch makes her feel something that others don't and his Eyes locked into Her so beautifully. Raj in his mind (thinks gosh she’s so good I'm not even 30% of her skillset here in her Beauty And Dance) but he was enjoying it as long it lasted for some reason by end of it. They both had smile on each other's face. Then times ups! What seem to be a long dance was just 2min and 45seconds dance! Such a small duration but makes a big impact. Raj is now Abit Nervous after the dance performance how Riya did in it and the last one is just him and very hard he doesn't want to say something bad or weird to her make her sad or something he thinks it's has to be something good to make her happy and also everyone he thinks and thinks until it's the time for last task and he gets his idea. Riya is also now confident for some reason after The Dance Performance. She doesn't know what is that feeling she getting bit but her gut feeling tell her Raj is not a bad guy! At all. But anyway she doesn't know what to do at last round so she asks Raj! Raj replies just whatever I'll say you just give a good and honest reaction and I will try my best! He cheers up Riya and Riya in return says you can!! Let's do it. Just before they start the last task. The Judge or Girls who are also managing the contest announced that winning prize will be close to a $270 worth of Voucher for any shopping in the mall vaild for the next 1 year! Use It any time.. Hearing this Raj's gets excited Ohhh Let's go that a prize! For fight for!! He then Turns Left and Riya also Turns Right. Raj then Winks at Her and Says Let's do it. Riya Smiles alot with this. And also blushes. But no feeling in her mind. As well as well Raj Yet. They just enjoying themselves! So Now Raj and Riya Chance comes up. Raj Goes and Takes Stage Up and Riya also. Everybody clapping and cheering for them. And Siya Looking at them with disbelief. Then When Judge’s Say Start. Riya doesn't know what gonna happen but she excited alot. Well Raj is not that confident that he can really do it but people cheering and most importantly The Money has charged him with enough courage and confidence To do it. He Then Finally holds Riya hands in to his Riya doesn't know what's coming and then he looks into her eyes! And says when No One is Gonna Hold Your Hands I Will Hold it! Or When No One Is There For You I Will Be There For You! Riya is shocked after hearing this Riya's feelings changing all together in spike of seconds. Raj's words made a huge impact on her she could remember Her Dark Past! Raj is not a very good actor but the way he said this to Riya. Riya is shocked and her heart starts to flutter alot and beat faster. Her mouth feels dry. This all happened in 10mins while rounds should have been completed in 7-8mins there performance and Applause extended the time kind of. One of fellow colleagues Says Hey It's the time for the movie show time. We shall leave unless we will miss the starting of the great movie. Raj then Says Hey Siya's Performance still left but no time for it Raj another fellow colleague replies. Raj makes a face but anyways. Siya is happy that she doesn't have to do anything! Could enjoy the show. She shocked the way Raj said those words! She is feeling something inside her. That is unexplainable yet. She can't tell herself she kinda drawn to the way he said. The words so easy and beautifully but she doesn't think too much at last because they in for a competition! The Judge's announced that winner will be announced in 2mins. Then all the people decide just to wait then. Because the last registered performance was only Siya’s now because she has backed out. So they are now calculating the results. Now results are being announced. Riya still in shock and processing the thing just happened! And one by one slowly everybody heart beat increases. Riya doesn't know anything but she like about to cry but controls herself. She focus on results too. But it's getting very hard for it standing still and she looks at Raj and what he said. He doesn't even look at her Raj is so focused on Judge’s results. Just then They Announce The Winner. It's none other then (Raj and Riya! You are Best Couple Tonight And a Maybe Born to be Together Forever Couple) (Congratulations) after that the winners are announced and she stand quitely and very shocked and looking at her hands. She then runs way after the winner are announced in bathroom and starts crying. Raj is shocked why did she run way but everyone thinks because Riya is shy girl that why!. And Raj also thinks the same. Just then in bathroom. She enters. Crying badly. She says what is happening what is this why iam crying. This was just a contest we won! Why Does My Dark Past Keep Hitting Me Back. She cries badly she thinks she cannot love anyone anymore but this all makes her feel even more alone that everyone will move on but not her maybe. She cries but she knows she has to go back. As we know she is very strong girl she wants to think of more reason why it happened this all feeling and everything but no time for thinking so she decides to go back now! Wipes her Tears. Corrects her Face because it always becomes like a puff when she cries very badly.. She comes back to scene. As she comes back she tries to smile but it hard she tries to pretend but it's hard. But then she sees Raj Happy like he on the moon winning the price. The colleagues its time for show Let's go. Just get your prize quick and join us both you! They all leave for movie hall screen as Raj and Riya have to collect the winning prize and also click Another photo. Riya doesn't want to do it. She tries to ask Raj that can you do it alone. I just join them I'm just not feeling well. Raj's then says Oh Shut up. I know you are shy type girl! You just run away this is the moment to Live! You are trying to run away. Before Riya could say anything further. Unexpected. Raj Pulls and Takes Her Hand in His Hands. Climbs the Stage once Again for Prize. Riya doesn't want to do it and she take away her hand but the happiness in Raj’s Face make her unable to do so. She think she In mind that i have to move on. No matter what I have to. Then they collect prize and click a photo! And Go inside Movie Hall. The Movie is Just Started By The Way so lucky for them! For the whole movie Riya sits quite and thinks about what happened. She does enjoy the little bit of ending of the movie! She tried to enjoy whole movie but she couldn't thinking too much about the things happened but least by the end She's a bit happy that she won and movie was awesome she thought in her mind. As they all starts to leave the movie hall. Siya and Raj did enjoyed movie alot. Raj was happy they won prize money. By end of movie and everything it was close to 11pm almost close to midnight now. They all decide go in groups in the cabs and some obviously take there bikes and go into there home. Dhruv insist that Hey Raj. Man congratulations on your victory or winning whatever you call it. But I think and as I know Siya Mam and Riya didn't have there bike or car something so they take the cabs. So I think you all three should go together in a group it be safe. I mean 2 girls and you! Siya then replies do I look like a child to you? Dhruv that I have to take Raj to Babysit me till my home? Raj Laughs loud. Riya Smiles too trying to forgot what happened and go home happily. Raj then says in Abit of over confidence tone. Man I'm used to winning now maybe! Other people have to be alerted but Jokes apart I'm feeling very tired and need to sleep. So yeah we going together because if I fell asleep while in the car I don’t know what will happen to me he says jokingly but when you both accompany me. I will not sleep. I mean one senior employee and a Newbie recruit. We have alot to talk about. Alone would be boring before Siya could say anything. Raj said Riya Book the cab. We are Winners No Questions us tonight Siya let's just go unless I might fall asleep just about here! He says again jokingly. Riya then books the cab. Dhruv and everybody leaves after congratulate Both Raj and Riya for there performance. And one of there colleague even wished luck to Raj and Riya for the Future. Raj said hey this is too much but his colleague left laughingly. Siya is also pretty tired and everybody is. The Cabs comes and they leaves together (But Will This Long Night?
