Mystery-Chapter 2

I...

I was broke. That NYE was the worst eve ever in my life. The day everyone waits for, something everyone wishes to cherish, feel and enjoy. But for me, not a day to be cherished but a day to remorse. Remorse what is what your thinking right?

Let me tell you the story from the beginning. The actual story, the story of the trip. It all started that day, it was Jessie's birthday, a few weeks before the trip. Karthik proposed the plan of the trip, he wanted to get away from the busy, stressful life and relax for some days. Everyone wanted the same, so we gave in to the plan, after giving a lot of thought to the idea. Well, no one could say no to Karthik, as he was the most loved in the group.

We all decked up all our bags into the car and head towards Florida. It was not as tiring as we thought it would be, a journey with friends is never tiring, right! We got checked into this beautiful cottage, right next to the beach. The view was amazing, me and Stella shared a room whereas the boys shared another. Despite being in two different rooms, ours rooms were connected to each other. The cottage was owned by Karthik's relatives. Even though they lived there, it was quite comfortable staying there, as we had met quite a few times, whenever we flew down to Florida. 

It wasn't the first time I met his family. For years we had known each other, stating the fact, I loved Karthik and Stella loved Jessie. It wasn't that long since we knew about our feeling. The day before NYE, me and Karthik left for the movie early in the day. On our way back it started to rain heavily. Not being much fan of the rain, we both decided to stay at a hotel near by for the night. Though only one room was available we decided to stay there and rest for a while. 

We didn't know what was going to happen. Stella and Jessie reached the hotel after we rang them up to come and join us. Fortunately, the hotel organised a New Year's bash in it's glory of completing 12 years of excellence. 

We went down to enjoy the party. The lights went off and the party started. There were people everywhere, the empty hall became full of life and energy. Music, drinks, food at a stretch of what I could see. All four of us started dancing and enjoying the environment.

Then he called me somewhere...
