The story so farBefore scene 7

This scene

7INT. KARTHIK’S CAR - NIGHT

KARTHIK waves a goodbye to the security guard outside.

The lights in the club are shut, people behind him are shutting the place down.

Drunk people are getting to their vehicles.

KARTHIK sits inside his car.

He takes a heavy breath.

He takes the ring out and observes it in its glory.

He smiles as the solitaire reflects the light onto his face.
