All around, after hearing this, everything becomes silent. Only the sound of the TV and their breathing can be heard. Suddenly, the three of them start laughing loudly at Rishi. Pankaj says—
Pankaj:
(Laughing)
"Hey… he's the spoiled son of a rich father. Must have seen him somewhere on TV or social media."
Everyone brushes it off as a joke. Suddenly, the electricity goes out. With no lights, they all go up to the terrace.
The four of them start talking among themselves about how they first met. The sky is still covered with clouds, and faint moonlight pierces through them.
Pankaj:
"How about a party today in the name of our friendship?"
Ayaan:
"Let's go to a club."
Everyone likes the idea. They get ready and reach the club.
Inside the club, people are dancing, drinking, and a girl is beating up a guy.
The three of them (Ayaan, Rishabh, and Pankaj) go to the counter and start drinking. Just then, a boy who is heavily drunk stumbles and falls onto Ayaan. After getting up, he slaps Ayaan and says—
Boy:
"You idiot, you ruined my shoot.."
Seeing this, Pankaj angrily slaps the boy.
Boy:
(Angrily)
"You dared to raise your hand on Roni… THE Roni? Do you even know who my father is?"
Hearing this, Rishabh also angrily slaps Roni and says—
Rishabh:
(Angrily)
"Go ask your mother who your father is."
Roni, furious, stops the music and calls the security guards. That's when they find out that the club belongs to his father.
Guards arrive — all around six feet tall — and grab them. With the music stopped, everyone's attention turns toward the fight.
Crowd:
"Who are these guys… why are they fighting?"
Rishi, who was dancing, also notices the fight. Seeing his friends, he angrily pulls Roni toward himself. Roni gets dragged across the floor and falls at Rishi's feet.
No one understands what just happened. How did Roni get dragged there on his own, since only the three of them could see Rishi?
Roni stands up again, angrily hurling abuses as he walks toward them. Rishi lifts him into the air and blows into his ear. The air is so cold and filled with negative energy that Roni starts trembling in fear.
He urinates in his pants and collapses onto the ground. Then, in anger, Rishi slaps Roni hard, sending him flying straight into a guard, knocking him unconscious.
Rishi furiously beats all the guards. After that, he takes his three friends and walks out of the club.
After some time, the club returns to normal and people start dancing again. Outside, the three of them burst into laughter.
Pankaj:
"Rishi totally destroyed them!"
Rishabh:
(Laughing)
"He kept asking who his father is — should I go tell him his father is Rishi?"
The three of them are heavily drunk, so Rishi takes them back home.
Months pass like this, filled with laughter and teasing each other. The bond between the four of them becomes extremely deep. Together, they continue growing their business.
But Rishi still feels sad sometimes, because his heart tells him that this is not the place where he is meant to be right now.
He feels as if someone is waiting for him.
About four months later — December 21 — Ayaan, Rishabh, and Pankaj are in the office. After some time, Rishi also arrives there.
A little later, an unknown number calls their office phone. Ayaan answers the call—
Ayaan:
(On call)
"Hello."
Unknown Number:
"Hello, this is Shiv Thakur speaking."
Ayaan:
(Shocked)
"Whaaaat…?"
