New year eve

————-

A group of friends enter the restaurant where the new year party is happening

They all have lots of fun and dance together

After some time 2 girls from the group proceed to the bar counter while the others continues to dance

They are none other than pragya and her childhood friend isha

She looks at her friends on the dance floor while sipping her drink and sighs

Isha : “what happened pragya”

Pragya : “look at all of them ishu .. enjoying the new year with their partners.. having fun while we are here single sitting in a corner and drinking . How boring”

Isha : “you're right . So boring”

They continue drinking and Isha suddenly says

Isha: darling

“How about i find you someone from this party itself . A smart sexy boyfriend for you”

Pragya chuckles : “You are mad”

Isha: “im hell serious .. and what if i also get a plus one like that” 😉

Pragya laughs while isha scams the restaurant

Her eyes lands on two guys standing in a corner

Isha :”Pragu Pragu”

Look at that guy there

Pragya turns : “who ishu there are so many guys”

Isha: “Arey the two guys near the corner table”

The guy in white shirt from them

Pragya looks at the guy clicking pictures of the party at the same moment her eyes lock with the guy

Pragya in mind : “hes so handsome. Just like a greek god”

The guy smirks and moves forward to their table

Guy : “Hey beautiful.. i am abhishek mehra”

Pragya shakes hands with him and replies : “Pragya , Pragya Arora and this is my bestie isha”

They shake hands

Abhi: “this is my best friend siddharth”

Siddharth : “you can call me sid”and they all greet each other

Pragya : “why don't you guys join us”

Abhi and sid : “our pleasure”

Isha and pragya smiles

Abhi : “so what are you guys doing”

Isha : “we are doctors”

Working in ARORA Hospital

Sid : “arora hospitals and pragya arora ? Any connection??”

Pragya : “haha yes its my dad's hospital .. what do you guys do ?”

Abhi : “I'm managing my family business.. mehra industries”

Sid : “I'm the managing director of one of the companies in Mehra industries”

Pragya : “oh amazing”

“So you are related to Ram mehra ?”

Abhi : “yes that's my dad”

Isha : “woww”

The four of them talk and get to know each other while having some fun too Later in the night, people crowd toward the dance floor. Pragya pulls abhi along for a few seconds before realizing he's stiff and uncomfortable.

Pragya : "Want to escape?"

Abhi : "Desperately."

She takes his hand and leads him to a quieter corner of the rooftop — away from the crowd. They share a drink, bundled in blankets over their shoulders. She tells him about the chaos of organizing the event. He shows her his favorite photo — a candid shot of a child watching fireworks last year.

Pragya : "Funny how you can freeze time like that."

Abhi : "Sometimes the best moments are the ones you never plan."

They look at each other, and for a second, everything else falls away.

After a while

The music lowers. Someone yells, "10 minutes to midnight!"

Guests grab drinks, partners, and sparklers.  Pragya glances at her

Pragya : "Ten minutes till a new year. Any resolutions?"

Abhi (smiling): "Maybe be braver. Say things I usually wouldn't."

She raises an eyebrow.

Pragya : "Like?"

He opens his mouth, then stops.

Abhi : "I'll tell you at midnight

And the count down began

10... 9... 8...

They're standing side by side, watching the

fireworks get ready to go off.

7... 6... 5...

Pragya glances at abhi. "You know, you never

took my picture."

4... 3... 2...

He turns to her, smiles.

Abhi : "Didn't need to. I'll remember this."

1... HAPPY NEW YEAR!

Confetti bursts into the air. Fireworks light up the sky. People cheer and kiss and hug around them.Abhi leans in — slow, certain — and kisses her.

In the chaos of color and celebration, it feels like silence wraps around them

Later, as the party thins out, pragya  and abhi sit close under a heater. She rests her head on his shoulder. He clicks a picture — not of the skyline, not of the crowd — just her hand holding his.

Abhi (softly): "Resolution complete."

Pragya: "What was it?"

Abhi: "Let something good in."

She smiles, half-asleep. "Good choice."
