Mithra's phone buzzed softly against the coffee table, breaking the tranquil evening ambiance. With a quick glance at the screen, her face lit up in a radiant smile. KL's name illuminated the display, and without hesitation, she eagerly swiped to answer.

"Hey, KL! What's up?" Mithra greeted, her voice brimming with excitement.

"Guess what, Mithra? I just proposed to Athiya, and she said yes!" KL's voice, crackling with elation, echoed through the phone.

Mithra's heart leapt with joy, and she could barely contain her excitement. In her enthusiasm, she almost spilled the contents of her popcorn bowl as she leaped off the couch.

"Oh my God, KL! That's amazing! Congratulations! When did this happen? Tell me everything!" Mithra exclaimed, her voice filled with genuine happiness.

"Just a while ago. I took her to our favorite spot, got down on one knee, and popped the question. It was perfect," KL recounted, a grin evident in his voice.

Giggles bubbled from Mithra's lips as she absorbed the delightful news. "I'm so happy for you both! This calls for a celebration. When are we celebrating? Double date, perhaps?"

"Absolutely! We'd love that. I'll talk to Virat, and we'll plan something soon. Get ready for some wedding planning chaos!" KL chuckled, the excitement palpable even through the phone.

Mithra teased playfully, "I can't wait! You know I love chaos. But seriously, KL, this is wonderful news. I'm thrilled for you and Athiya."

As their conversation continued, Mithra found herself reflecting on the beautiful tapestry of relationships that had woven itself around her. What had once been a shared passion for cricket had evolved into something deeper, something more profound.

The news of KL's proposal added another vibrant hue to the canvas of their lives. With each shared triumph, each whispered confession, and each celebration of love, their friendship continued to flourish—a narrative rich with the threads of camaraderie, affection, and the promise of countless tomorrows.

Settling back onto the couch, Mithra felt a profound sense of gratitude wash over her. In the midst of life's twists and turns, she was grateful for the bonds that had been forged and the moments that had been shared. And as she gazed out the window, the stars seemed to shine just a little brighter, casting their glow upon the beautiful journey that lay ahead.

✧･ﾟ: *✧･ﾟ:*

The days that followed were a whirlwind of excitement and anticipation as the close-knit group of friends eagerly prepared for the upcoming celebrations. Plans for both KL and Athiya's engagement and Shubman and Mithra's budding relationship were discussed with fervor, each detail adding to the excitement in the air.

One sunny afternoon found the friends gathered at a quaint café, the ambiance filled with laughter and animated conversation. Athiya couldn't resist showing off her sparkling ring, prompting compliments and playful banter from the group.

"I still can't believe this is real. KL, you have good taste!" Athiya exclaimed, her eyes shining with happiness.

"Well, I had some expert advice. Virat and Shubman were excellent consultants," KL replied with a grin, his gaze meeting Shubman's with a shared understanding.

Shubman, ever the charmer, winked at Mithra, his eyes twinkling with mischief. She couldn't help but blush at the attention, feeling a warmth spread through her as their connection deepened amidst the camaraderie of their friends.

As discussions turned to wedding plans and dress shopping, Mithra found herself swept up in the excitement. The prospect of sharing in Athiya's special day filled her with joy, and she eagerly agreed to join in the festivities.

"So, when are we going dress shopping, Athiya?" Virat chimed in, his enthusiasm matching that of the group.

"I was hoping you'd ask! Let's make it a grand affair. Mithra, you're coming, right?" Athiya turned to her with a smile, her eyes sparkling with excitement.

"Absolutely! I wouldn't miss it for the world. We'll turn it into a memorable day," Mithra replied, her heart swelling with gratitude for the bonds of friendship that surrounded her.

✧･ﾟ: *✧･ﾟ:*

The day of dress shopping dawned with a sense of excitement and anticipation, the air filled with the promise of joyous celebrations ahead. Athiya, Mithra, Anushka, and Natasa eagerly prepared for their expedition to find the perfect lehengas, while KL, Virat, Shubman, Ishan, and 

Hardik geared up for the adventure of selecting the finest sherwanis.

Entering the bustling market, the friends were greeted by a riot of colors and the inviting aroma of street food. Their destination—a luxurious boutique adorned with shimmering ensembles—beckoned them inside.

Anushka's grin mirrored the collective excitement as she exclaimed, "This is like a dream! I can't wait to try on some lehengas."

Mithra, equally thrilled, added, "I hope they have something that matches the grandeur of Athiya's engagement outfit."

Guided by a seasoned fashion consultant, the girls embarked on their quest, navigating racks adorned with intricately embroidered lehengas in every hue imaginable.

Meanwhile, the boys strolled through the narrow lanes of the market, their eyes drawn to the vibrant hues of sherwanis displayed along the way.

Shubman, taking in the sights, remarked, "This is a different world, isn't it?"

KL nodded in agreement. "Absolutely. Let's find the perfect sherwanis to complement the elegance of our beautiful brides-to-be."

As the day progressed, the girls immersed themselves in the enchanting process of trying on lehengas. Laughter filled the boutique as they twirled before the mirrors, each envisioning the splendor of the upcoming festivities.

Athiya, admiring her reflection, sought Mithra's opinion, "I feel like a princess. What do you think, Mithra?"

Mithra grinned in response, "You look breathtaking. The intricate detailing is just perfect."

Meanwhile, the boys deliberated over a myriad of sherwanis, each striving to find the one that exuded elegance and style.

Ishan, examining himself in the mirror, sought Shubman's approval, "I think I've found the one. What do you think?"

Shubman, with a smirk, replied, "Nice choice. But let's see if mine can top it."

✧･ﾟ: *✧･ﾟ:*

As the girls continued to try on different lehengas, the boutique transformed into a runway of elegance and laughter. Each ensemble brought forth a new wave of excitement, and Mithra couldn't resist expressing her admiration for Athiya's impeccable taste.

"Athiya, if it weren't for KL and Shubman, I might have just proposed to you right now. These lehengas are making me reconsider my choices!" Mithra teased, her eyes twinkling with amusement.

Athiya laughed, her joy infectious as she replied, "Oh, please! As much as I appreciate the sentiment, I think KL might have something to say about that."

Anushka chimed in, adding to the playful banter, "You two are a riot. But seriously, Athiya, you look absolutely stunning in each one of them."

Meanwhile, the boys emerged from the sherwani store, exuding confidence and style in their chosen attires.

Shubman, admiring his reflection, sought his friends' opinions, "What do you think, guys? Am I wedding-ready?"

Ishan, grinning, replied, "Definitely. You might just steal the spotlight from the bride!"

The camaraderie between the friends added to the joyous atmosphere, turning the dress-shopping expedition into a delightful and light-hearted affair.

As the girls continued their exploration of lehengas, Mithra found herself admiring a particularly exquisite piece. Sensing an opportunity for some fun, Athiya and Anushka exchanged mischievous glances.

"Mithra, you've been so focused on capturing our moments. It's time you became the center of attention. Try it on!" Athiya suggested with a grin.

Anushka joined in, playfully adding, "We won't take no for an answer. Go on, Mithra!"Though hesitant at first, Mithra couldn't resist the playful encouragement of her friends. With a mix of excitement and nervousness, she stepped into the fitting room, emerging moments later in the stunning lehenga.

The rich fabric draped elegantly around her, and the intricate embroidery caught the light, creating a breathtaking ensemble. Athiya and Anushka couldn't help but applaud, thoroughly pleased with their choice.

"Mithra, you look absolutely stunning! Shubman won't know what hit him," Anushka exclaimed excitedly.

Just as the girls were reveling in the success of their styling endeavor, the boys decided to join the fashion show after completing their sherwani trials.

Shubman entered the room, casually asking, "Hey, what's all the excitement about? Did I miss something?"

His question was met with a collective gasp as he laid eyes on Mithra in the mesmerizing lehenga. The room fell silent for a beat as Shubman stood there, momentarily stunned by the unexpected vision before him.

"Wow, Mithra... You look... breathtaking," he finally managed to articulate, his genuine admiration breaking the silence.

The rest of the group erupted into cheers and laughter, teasing Shubman about his awestruck reaction.

"I think you just found your match, Shubman," Ishan teased, while Virat smirked, "That's a 'wow' worth remembering, buddy."

Blushing at the unexpected attention, Mithra laughed along with her friends, twirling in the lehenga.

"Okay, okay, you got me. Happy now?" she teased, to which Shubman replied with a grin, "More than happy. I didn't know a lehenga could have this effect."

The playful banter continued as the friends left the boutique, the episode becoming another cherished memory in the tapestry of their friendship. Amidst the laughter and surprises, they found joy in celebrating each other and the unique bonds that bound them together.

As they embarked on the next phase of wedding preparations, the friends couldn't help but reflect on the delightful twists and turns that had enriched their journey. The shared moments of laughter and camaraderie had not only brought them closer to the grand celebration but also reaffirmed the depth of their friendship and the beauty of their shared experiences.

✧･ﾟ: *✧･ﾟ:*

The day's festivities had indeed taken a toll on everyone, and as they arrived at Mithra's apartment, the idea of a comfortable space to unwind was met with unanimous approval. Mithra's cozy abode provided the perfect haven for the tired yet cheerful group.

Couples found their spots amidst the warm ambiance, creating a scene of contentment and joy. Natasa and Hardik settled onto the sofa, their laughter adding to the ambient chatter that filled the room. 

KL and Athiya opted for a spot on the floor, nestled among a couple of cushions, sharing a quiet moment amidst the camaraderie. Anushka and Virat, familiar with Mithra's living space, claimed the corner near the window, enjoying the soothing view of the city lights.

Amidst the laughter and conversations, Shubman and Mithra found themselves on a plush rug near the center of the room. Mithra settled down comfortably, while Shubman, feeling the fatigue of the day, decided to lie down, his head gently resting on her lap.

"I think all that outfit choosing made me more tired than a day of practice," Shubman yawned, his voice laced with exhaustion.

Mithra, running her fingers through his hair, reassured him, "Well, you did have quite the day. A little rest won't hurt."

Their friends couldn't help but chuckle at the sight of Shubman comfortably nestled on Mithra's lap. The tiredness that crept over him only added to the charm of the moment.

"Looks like Shubman has found the perfect pillow," Hardik teased, earning a playful nudge from Natasa.

"Admit it, Shubman, you're enjoying the attention," Athiya remarked with a smile.

Shubman, despite his drowsiness, managed to smirk in response. The atmosphere in Mithra's living room was filled with the warmth of friendship and shared experiences.

Virat raised his glass, proposing a toast, "To good friends, beautiful outfits, and the anticipation of amazing weddings. Cheers!"

As glasses clinked and laughter echoed, the friends found solace in each other's company. The day, which began with the excitement of shopping, had transformed into a night of relaxation and shared moments.

As Mithra looked around at the familiar faces and the comfortable chaos in her living room, she couldn't help but feel grateful for the bonds she had forged over the years. 

As the night progressed, the friends continued to revel in each other's company, their laughter filling the room and creating a symphony of joy that resonated through the apartment.

The night unfolded with an easygoing rhythm, the friends immersed in lighthearted banter and shared laughter. Mithra's apartment became a canvas for their stories, a space where bonds deepened, and memories were etched into the fabric of their friendship.

"Mithra, your place has this cozy vibe. It feels like home," Natasa remarked with a grin.

"I'm glad you all feel that way. Home is where friends gather, right?" Mithra replied, smiling warmly.

Shubman, lying comfortably on Mithra's lap, added with a playful tone, "Well, your lap seems like a pretty good place to make myself at home." Mithra teased him, "Oh, is that so? I should start charging rent then."

The playful banter continued, the friends revelling in the familiarity and comfort of their shared history. "You know, Mithra, this place has seen a lot of our dramas over the years," Ishan remarked, looking around the room.

Anushka nodded in agreement, "True. From late-night discussions to impromptu dance parties."

Virat chimed in, "And let's not forget the countless matches we've watched here and the numerous FIFA matches we have played."

As they reminisced, the room echoed with laughter, a testament to the enduring bonds that had been forged through countless moments like these.

"So, Mithra, any embarrassing stories you've been hiding all these years?" Hardik teased, raising an eyebrow.

Mithra smirked, "Oh, you think I'd spill those secrets, Hardik? Some things are better left in the archives."

"Come on, Mithra. We won't judge. Spill the beans!" Athiya urged with a grin.

The teasing continued, and amidst the shared stories and laughter, the friends found joy in being present at the moment—a moment where the simplicity of friendship took centre stage.

As the night wore on, the fatigue from the day's activities began to catch up with everyone. The banter slowly transformed into yawns, and Mithra glanced at Shubman, realizing he had succumbed to sleep, his head still nestled on her lap.

"Looks like the excitement of the day caught up with Shubman," Anushka whispered.

"Yeah, he must be exhausted. Should we let him sleep?" Mithra asked softly.

The friends agreed, deciding to let Shubman rest. They settled into a comfortable silence, the only sound being the soft hum of the city outside.

In the quiet aftermath of the night, Mithra closed the door to her apartment, reflecting on the beauty of the shared moments. The night might have come to an end, but the memories created within those walls would endure, a silent testimony to the magic woven into the fabric of their timeless friendships.

The night deepened, enveloping Mithra's apartment in a tranquil ambiance as her friends found themselves lulled by the quietude. The soft glow of ambient lighting painted the room in gentle hues, creating a serene atmosphere that seemed to invite introspection and reflection.

"These are the moments I cherish the most—just us, together, with no agenda," Virat whispered, his voice barely audible in the hushed space.

Ishan couldn't resist a smirk as he quipped, "Yeah, until someone starts snoring."

Hardik, mock offence evident in his tone, retorted, "Hey, I don't snore!" Natasa couldn't contain her giggles as she confirmed, "Well, I can confirm that you do, Hardik."

Their hushed laughter filled the room, intertwining with the comforting stillness like a soothing melody. Amidst the gentle banter, the shared understanding between these friends became increasingly apparent.

"It's moments like these that make life truly beautiful," Athiya remarked, her voice soft as she sipped her drink.

Anushka nodded in agreement, adding, "Absolutely. We're surrounded by people who have seen us at our best and worst, and yet, here we are."

Mithra, gazing at Shubman peacefully asleep on her lap, felt a surge of warmth and affection. The bond they all shared was an anchor, grounding them in a world that often seemed chaotic.

"Sometimes, the simplest moments become the most cherished memories," she mused softly, her words hanging in the air like a whispered promise.

As the night progressed, the friends found themselves lost in a comfortable silence, each absorbed in their own thoughts. The occasional sound of a passing vehicle or the distant city hum added to the tranquil backdrop, amplifying the sense of serenity that enveloped them.

As the clock ticked away, Shubman stirred from his slumber, blinking sleepily as he emerged from the depths of his dreams.

"Did I miss anything exciting?" he inquired, his voice still heavy with drowsiness.

Mithra smiled gently, "Just the serenity of the night, Shubman. How are you feeling?"

"Refreshed, surprisingly. Your lap makes a great pillow," he replied with a contented stretch.

The friends, reinvigorated by the brief respite, decided to call it a night. They bid farewell to Mithra's cozy haven, their shared laughter echoing through the hallways as they made their way to their respective homes.

As they stepped out into the cool night, the bonds of friendship felt stronger than ever. Little did they know that the simple pleasures of this night would linger in their hearts, a testament to the enduring power of camaraderie.

In the quiet aftermath of the night, Mithra closed the door to her apartment, reflecting on the beauty of the shared moments. The night might have come to an end, but the memories created within those walls would endure, a silent testimony to the magic woven into the fabric of their timeless friendships.
