"AHAHAAAAA" sara screamed. "Shusshhh" nisha calmed her down. "I can't believe this" sara said with happy tears in her eyes. "Where's mom and dad di?" Nisha asked"oh they told me that they don't want to watch this show you know they are least interested, so they went out on lunch" sara explained. "Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls! Are you ready?!" The host screamed and the sisters got into their seats while the whole theatre burst into screams and laughter. "Let's countdown to the show!" the host cheered. The crowd joined in — "5... 4... 3... 2... 1!" The LIBWY "life is better with you" cast burst onto the stage, dancing with bright smiles and electric energy. And then finally sara saw him- "ZADE REYES" she screamed. And with him was "ISABELLA VALENCIA" the whole crowd screamed. They danced, the whole cast danced but her eyes were only on them- her idols. It was an overwhelming moment—happy tears filled her eyes as she finally saw the people she had always manifested to meet. The 2.5-hour show flew by, and she soaked in every single second. Zade sang while looking at Isabella, and she sang back—after all, they were singers too. They hadn't confirmed anything, calling each other "just good friends," but the fandom knew better. The crowd roared, chanting, "ZABELLA! ZABELLA!" "Thank you, BetterBees fam!" the LIBWY cast beamed.
"Hold on, everyone!" the host announced. "Remember those numbers you got at the start? It's time for a lucky draw! Ten fans will get to meet and handshake the cast!"
The crowd erupted, each person silently praying their number would be called. Zabella spun the wheel, drawing chits one by one. Sara silently wished for "46."
"And the numbers are... 18, 25, 87, 56, 33, 105, 213, 100, 224, and..."Sara held her breath."46!" She screamed with joy. "All winners, please step aside!" the host called. "I'll wait at the exit, didi!" Nisha grinned. Sara nodded, heart racing. She clutched a bouquet—white flowers for the cast, and one red rose just for Charles, her celeb crush. He was a few years older... and absolutely adorable. She stepped onto the stage, knees shaking—actually, she was shaking all over. She handed out the flowers, received warm thanks from everyone, and Charles even hugged her! Then came Isabella and Zade. As she shook their hands, goosebumps rose on her arms, and when they hugged her, she nearly fainted.Walking down the stairs toward the exit, she felt like she was floating. But something felt off—Nisha looked a little sad. "What happened?" Sara asked. Nisha silently pointed behind her. She turned to see Khushi teary-eyed and Rishabh visibly angry."What's wrong?" she asked, but they didn't answer.
"When we reach the hotel, get ready. We're going for dinner at my friend's place," Rishabh said firmly. They all nodded.
Papa has a friend here? Sara wondered. Little did she know, that dinner wouldn't be ordinary at all.
