After hearing a dare from Riya, Rahul decided to see Riya differently, so he said,
"I dare you to Recreate our first meeting on the bus," said Rahul with a witty wink?
Riya's eyes widened at Rahul's daring challenge. She looked around at the expectant faces of Sachin, Regina, and the others, all eagerly awaiting her response. Riya had always been up for a challenge, but this one felt different. Recreating their first meeting on the bus meant revisiting a memory she had tried to forget.
She took a deep breath, feeling a mix of nervousness and curiosity." she finally replied, her voice remaining steady."I accept your dare."
Rahul's mischievous smile grew wider, and he motioned for her to stand up. "Great! Let's head outside to where we can recreate the scene."
Rahul asked Regina to stand opposite to him and Riya stood a few feet away from him, When Rahul acted like beating Regi, Riya sprayed the pepper spray as she did before but this time after she hit him with the spray, Rahul was about to hit the brownie as he came close to her face she closed her eyes but Rahul didn't hit this time, Riya was relieved!! for that
As they reenacted the scene, Riya couldn't help but laugh at the stupidity of it all. It was strange how a simple dare had transported her back in time to that awkward encounter.
Rahul smiled warmly at her. "See, it wasn't that bad, was it?"
Riya chuckled, feeling a newfound sense of ease. "No, not at all. Thanks for bringing back that memory in such a fun way."
Their friends applauded the creative dare, and the atmosphere around the campfire remained lighthearted and enjoyable. Little did Riya know that this playful moment would mark the beginning of something special with Rahul.
After this, it was time for the next spin and the bottle stood facing Regi this time, but again Rahul was the person to ask the question
"All alright, tell me about a painful event which you want to forget at the same time which you have never shared with anyone," asked Rahul with a deep voice
"It was during my high school farewell day," Regi began, her eyes shining with unshed tears. "Everything started with a funny comment that my two best friends, Leena and Swathi, made about me. I was already in a terrible mood because one of my teachers had scolded me earlier that day. So, when they made that comment, it was like a spark igniting a fire"
The campfire crackled softly as she continued, "I lost control. I said things I didn't mean, things that flowed out of my mouth like a waterfall. Leena and Swathi tried to calm me down, their faces filled with concern, but I wouldn't listen. In a moment of anger, I declared that I no longer wanted to be their friend and stormed away, tears streaming down my face."
Regi paused, her shoulders lowered with the weight of her past actions. "The next day, they made sincere efforts to speak with me, to fix our friendship. But my ego was overpowering, and I refused to acknowledge them. They kept trying, but I turned them away. Eventually, they gave up, believing I truly didn't want them in my life anymore."
Tears flowed freely down Regi's cheeks now as she confessed, "And then, fate dealt the cruellest impact. An accident occurred, and I lost not only my contacts but also my two best friends. I lost them forever."
Her friends listened in silence, understanding the depth of her guilt. Regi continued, her voice heavy with regret, "I've made many friends since then, but I can't forget Lisa and Emily. It was my mistake, my foolish pride that cost me their friendship. I think about them often, wondering where they are and if they ever think of me."
Rahul, who had asked the question, spoke softly, "Regi, sometimes we let our emotions and ego cloud our judgment. But remember, it's never too late to seek forgiveness, even if it's just within yourself. Your friends might be out there, missing you just as much. And if you ever cross paths again, perhaps it'll be a chance to recover what was broken."
Regi nodded, wiping away her tears. Her friends surrounded her, offering support and understanding. The campfire continued to burn, a symbol of the warmth of their friendship that could endure even the weight of past regrets.
They all thought about their past regrets and comforted Regi and they moved ahead
Next, the bottle started to spin, and stood facing Sachin and Riya
Riya has to answer Sachin's question
Riya chose the truth this time, Sachin asked" What's the secret behind your peaceful life, I mean you never got in trouble, never felt sad, you had just enjoyed your life until now, I know it's a very different and unusual question but I'm just curious"
Riya smiled at Sachin's curious question, a hint of memories in her eyes. She leaned back, taking a moment to gather her thoughts before she began to speak.
"Well, Sachin, I guess you could say it's partly because of my family," she started. "I grew up in a pretty close-knit household. My parents have always been my pillars of support. They taught me to approach life with a positive mindset, to find joy in even the simplest of things."
Also, I value self-learning, so I learned everything by myself and one of my best learning is about "The law of attraction" Actually you are one of my successes, I always dreamt of getting a better friend like you and every detail, I Chose by myself and I sculpted your bond but at reality, you are more than my imagination, your my nearest friend Sachin, whatever happens!!, so, in short, my secret or something like that is my positive mindset and my Law of attraction!!
Riya's words echoed in the quiet night around the campfire. Her friends listened with genuine interest, fascinated by her perspective on life and the Law of Attraction.
Sachin, in particular, looked thoughtful. "That's fascinating, Riya, you are one of my best discoveries, right after Regi." he giggled
And they continued their game!!
And it's time for Rahul to answer Riya's question
Riya with an eager smile said" Now it's your time to answer Mr Brownie!!!,shall I?"
"Yes, please, madame," said Rahul with a hand gesture
