The board batch can never catch a break from exams. It's almost November now and it's time for the pre boards and farewell party.
As the pre-board exams approach, Samaira and Neev find themselves immersed in studying and preparation. They study with each other in the library everyday.
Samaira offers to study together with Neev, suggesting they form a study group with their friends to support each other through the preparation process. Neev, appreciating her gesture, agrees, recognizing the opportunity to put aside their differences and work towards a common goal.
Samaira spends some time helping Saisha understand some complex concepts. Together, they spend long hours reviewing notes, solving practice problems, and quizzing each other on key concepts. Their shared determination to excel in the exams strengthens their bond and helps mend the rift between them.
Saisha and Nishant both find it hard to focus for a long duration, but with a good company by their sides they're determined to score well in the first pre boards because Greenwoods management decided that students who score above 80% in pre boards - 1 will not have to appear for pre boards -2.
"meri mom ne kaha hai that if I don't score above 90% in these pre boards, she won't let me attend the farewell because my percentage dropped in the mid terms." Samaira said.
"Don't worry...I know tum karlogi" Neev said assuring Samaira.
As the day of the exams arrives, Samaira and Neev face the challenges with confidence, knowing that they have each other's support every step of the way.
"I have to score good or else I won't be able to enjoy the parties guilt free" Samaira said.
She meditated for a while and began writing the paper.
Despite the initial jitters, she soon finds herself immersed in the task at hand, drawing upon the knowledge and skills she's acquired through weeks of dedicated studying and preparation. The pre boards are supposed to be tougher than the actual board exams but Samaira was well prepared for both the difficulty levels and that is what makes her the top student.
Meanwhile, Neev also faced the paper determined to get back to his originals grades. Neev worked through the questions, his mind was sharp and his determination was unwavering.
As the exam comes to a close, a sense of relief washes over them, accompanied by a feeling of satisfaction knowing that they've given it their all.
All the exams were conducted over a span for two weeks and now finally they had the other half of the November month for parties followed by the farewell in December.
Saisha entered the classroom in the morning next day along with Gaurika and Nishant. Ujjwal ran as fast as he could to catch up. Neev and Samaira were calculating their percentages for the pre boards.
"Yaar tum dono phir padhne lage" Nishant said with a tone of annoyance.
"Bhai percentage nikaal rahe hain wo..." Ujjwal said.
"93.8%" Neev said with a huge smile on his face. It wasn't his percentage, it was Samaira's. They exchanged their report cards and we're calculating for each other.
"94.1%" Samaira said handing his report card to Neev.
"chalo atleast now we can party freely" Neev said.
"Yaar wo Krish Conti organise kar Raha hai this year and I don't want to go uski party mein" Saisha said.
"hmm..main bhi nahi jaunga ... 2500 per head maang raha hai" Ujjwal also said.
"Arre toh fir jayega kaun?" Gaurika said with a confused expression.
"Hum log bhi organise karte hain party, Kum paise mein passes bechenge aur Krish ki jagah humari taraf log ayenge" Nishant suggested.
"Actually...not a bad idea" Saisha said.
"Aajkal bohot agree karne lage ho mujhse. Kahin Dil toh nahi aa gaya mujhpe" Nishant said dropping his puncline at the right moment.
"Din mein toh sapne dekhna band karde Nishant" Saisha said, rolling her eyes.
Neev and Samaira were already calculating the expenses that might occur in organising a party.
"Don't you guys think it will be too expensive?" Samaira said.
"expensive ki chinta mat karo...wo tumhara Bhai dekh lega. Tum log bass marketing aur operations dekho" Nishant said exhibition confidence and assurance.
"Shaam ko Barbeque nation milte hain...thoda ka lenge aur plan bhi kar lenge" Neev suggested. Samaira immediately agreed for the plan.
As the group gathers at Barbeque Nation for their planning session, the aroma of grilled delicacies fills the air, setting the stage for a lively discussion. Nishant takes the lead, his confident demeanor evident as he proposes a plan to book a venue for their upcoming Conti party.
"So, I was thinking we should book a venue for our Conti party. My dad knows the owners of a few places, so I can try reaching out to them to see if we can get a good deal." Nishant said.
"Paise kamane mein kitna dimaag chalta hai Tera" Ujjwal said making Nishant laugh at the comment.
""I agree. Plus, having connections with the owners could really work in our favor. Let's go for it!" Gaurika said.
"Fine, I have already talked to a few clubs and they've sent me their quotations" Nishant said, pulling out different emails and brochures.
"This...BW club seems nice...they're offering a good price as well" Samaira said.
"I think according to this amount we can keep the ticket price around 1800" Neev suggested.
With Nishant's assurance and their enthusiasm in full swing, the group dives into the details of their Conti party planning, eager to make it a memorable event for all.
With the planning for their Conti party complete, the group wastes no time in spreading the word and generating excitement for the upcoming event. Armed with their Instagram pages and the power of word-of-mouth, they set out to market the party to their friends and acquaintances.
"Saisha ke sabse zyada followers hain so she can put a story every day for the next week and we will put a story and post alternatively" Nishant suggested.
"I'll create a catchy graphic to share on our Instagram pages. We want to grab people's attention and get them excited to join us." Gaurika said , as she put her creative mind to work.
"I'll start messaging our friends and asking them to spread the word too. The more people we reach, the better turnout we'll have." Ujjwal said in an enthusiastic tone.
With their marketing strategy in place, the group sets to work, flooding their social media feeds with posts and stories promoting the Conti party. Their excitement is contagious as they watch the buzz grow and anticipation build among their peers. As word spreads about Nishant's party, excitement builds among their friends, and soon, a wave of enthusiasm sweeps through the group. Krish's party, once the talk of the town, quickly loses its appeal as everyone hears about the exciting plans Nishant and his friends have in store.
"So many people are returning their passes back to Krish and buying our passes" Nishant said. The allure of a well-planned event at a top-notch venue, coupled with the promise of surprises and an unforgettable night, proves irresistible.
"Obviously, we have chosen a top notch location with a much affordable price" Samaira said.
With an overwhelming response of 400 registrations, Nishant and his friends find themselves faced with a logistical challenge. The capacity of the venue simply cannot accommodate such a large number of attendees, and they realize they need to take action to manage the situation.
"There are too many people asking for tickets. I guess we need to close the registrations" Neev said as they face the logistical crisis.
Despite the disappointment of those who weren't able to secure a spot, Nishant and his friends remain grateful for the immense interest and support shown by their peers.
"Hum log shopping karne jaa rahe hain for the party...waise toh tum log jaate nahi ho kahin still I'm asking it you guys wanna go" Saisha asked the boys.
Without a delay, Nishant immediately agreed to go with them. Seeing Nishant's enthusiasm, Neev and Ujjwal also agreed.
"Wo...mujhe bhi kapde lene hain" Nishant said immediately justify his excitement.
As the group of friends embarked on a shopping trip, the girls immediately gravitated towards the racks of dresses, their eyes lighting up with excitement as they browsed through the various styles and colors. The boys were roaming around clueless because there were too many options.
"Ye teeno toh chali gayi trial rooms mein...hum kya khareendein?" Nishant said . The other two were as clueless as him. the guys found themselves wandering aimlessly through the store, unsure of what to do amidst the sea of clothing and accessories.
"I have no idea, man. Maybe we should just follow them around and pretend to be interested." Ujjwal suggested.
"Tum teeno aise kyu ghoom rahe ho? Apne liye kuch select karlo" Saisha said. She realised they're completely clueless so she nudged the girls to help them first.
Saisha grabbed Nishant's wrist and dragged him to the men's section to pick out some blazers and shirts for him. The girls then started to pick out some blazers that would suit the boys.
"Nahh...tere aesthetic ko suit nahi karega" Saisha said after making Nishant try one of the blazers.
"Tujhe kaise pata mere aesthetic ke baare mein" Nishant inquired.
"6 mahine mein itna toh Jaan hi gayi hoon...ab zyada bol mat bass try karke dekh" Saisha said making Nishant chuckle.
"I think tujhe kuch basic hi Lena chahiye and use accessorise karna chahiye...." Saisha suggested. She then proceeded to pick out a black blazer and white shit.
After almost two hours of changing multiple blazers the boys finally agreed on their final picks.
"Choice toh tum logo ki acchi hai waise" Neev said. The girls then rushed to the women's section to try on their dresses. The boys were waiting with loads of bags in their hands to pass their critical analysis.
"umm...ye dress tumhari beauty ko justify nahi kar payegi" Neev said to Samaira after she picked out a plain white frock.
She then bright out two black dresses which put neev into a tough spot. Both of the dresses were almost equally pretty. He then picked out a dress and Samaira changed into it.
As Samaira came out from the trial room in her black bodycon dress, Neev's breath caught in his throat, his eyes widening in awe at the sight before him. The dress hugged her curves in all the right places, accentuating her figure and exuding an air of confidence and elegance.
For a moment, Neev was speechless, his gaze lingering on Samaira as he took in her stunning appearance. His heart raced with admiration, and he couldn't help but feel a surge of attraction towards her.
As Neev's eyes lingered on Samaira in her stunning dress, a sudden wave of desire washed over him, igniting a flurry of thoughts and emotions he hadn't anticipated. He felt a magnetic pull towards her, his mind wandering to places he knew he shouldn't go. As Neev looked at Samaira in her stunning dress, he felt a strong urge to kiss her. She looked so beautiful and tempting, making him want to lean in and feel the warmth of her lips against his own. Neev forcefully reined in his desires, reminding himself of the boundaries that mustn't be crossed.
"Tum kahan kho jaate ho?" Samaira asked.
"Tum mein kho jata hoon" Neev said without realising.
"uhh....I mean... You're looking fantastic! This dress is just perfect." Neev said. A warm flush spread across Samaira's cheeks at Neev's compliment, a shy smile gracing her lips as she thanked him.
After two more hours of changing multiple dressed. They finally billed out their final picks and left for their homes.
