One for all, all for one

The next morning, the sun rose brightly over the Maldives, casting a warm, golden glow over the beach and the resort. After a leisurely breakfast on the open-air deck, the group found themselves lounging near the beach, chatting, laughing, and enjoying the serene morning.

Rishabh leaned back on his chair, stretching his arms with a satisfied sigh. "Yaar, kya life hai! Breakfast by the beach, full-on chill scene. Imagine if every morning could be like this."

"Ha ha, tujhe toh bas vacation mode mein rehna hai," Yuzi teased, nudging him. "Kal tak toh tu complain kar raha tha practice miss ho rahi hai."

"Arre, woh kal ki baat thi," Rishabh shot back, grinning. "Aaj ka mood kuch aur hai."

KL Rahul, who was sprawled out beside them with a hat pulled low over his face, chuckled. " Ek kaam karo tum dono idar hi shift ho jao."

"Haillaa..aap humein miss nahi karoge ?" asked Rishabh with a pout.

"Uska toh pata nahi par kamse kam dressing room mein shaanti milegi.." replied Rah with a smirk.

The girls, Anushka and Ritika, laughed along, enjoying the playful banter of the boys. Rohit and Virat were lounging quietly with some chit chat from time to time.

After a while, Anushka stretched, glancing at her phone. "Alright, guys. Time to get ready for the water sports! We don't want to miss the jet ski slot."

KL Rahul groaned but stood up, brushing sand off his shorts. "Looks like no one's letting us nap today," he said, giving a mock glare to Anushka, who simply rolled her eyes in response.

Ritika got up, her eyes glinting with excitement. " Yess ! Let's go..," she said, gesturing Rohit to get up.

"Tum logo ko change nahi karna ? Vi ? Jas ? aur tum dono ?" asked Anushka while looking at each one turn by turn.

"Yaar bohot comfortable ho gaya hu mai..uthneka mann nahi ho raha..tum log karlo..hum sab aisehi join kar lenge.." replied Virat with a lazy smile. The guys nodded.

Rohit got up and they started making their way toward their rooms. The remaining group, still lounging by the beach, watched them leave, some already deep in conversation again.

After everyone had changed into their swimwear and gathered near the jet ski area, the air was filled with excitement. The sound of the waves crashing against the shore, mixed with the chatter of the group, created a lively atmosphere. The instructors were ready, explaining safety procedures and giving out life jackets, but there was no mistaking the anticipation in the air.

Rohit stood near the jet skis with Ritika by his side. She looked at the machines, her eyes widening slightly. "Rohit, I'm not sure about this," she said, clearly a little apprehensive.

Rohit turned to her, his face breaking into a grin. "Hey, don't worry! It's easy. Trust me, I've done this a million times." He could see the hesitation in her eyes but placed a reassuring hand on her shoulder. "Listen, I'll be right there with you. It's going to be so much fun, you'll love it!"

Ritika hesitated for a moment, glancing over at the others, who were already gathering around their own jet skis. She took a deep breath and nodded, though she still felt the nerves bubbling up inside her. "Okay, fine, but you better not let me fall in the water, okay?" she said with a slight smile, trying to shake off her anxiety.

Rohit chuckled, gently leading her toward the jet ski. "I promise, you won't fall. And even if you do, it'll be fun! Think of it as an adventure." He helped her get on, and she carefully positioned herself behind him, gripping the handles on either side of him. "Just hold on tight," Rohit said, his voice filled with reassurance. "I've got you."
