Movie without ticket

I, Febin, Kunal and Smita (Kunal’s wife) had gone to watch a movie. We asked Kunal to buy the tickets and he did so. As we entered the movie hall the guard at the entrance asked for the tickets as usual. Kunal was at front of the four of us and I was at the back. As I reached the guard he asked me for the ticket and I said I was with them. He allowed me to go. Then we entered the audi where our movie was to be shown. We proceeded towards our seats. Kunal was leading the way. As he sat down we asked him the seat numbers. He whispered that he had bought only 3 tickets. We were like “what the hell”.
We gave Kunal a stern look. I asked him to go and buy the 4th ticket; to which he replied he’ll do so in the interval. When Febin asked him what would we do if all the seats get filled, he had no answer. He just said “We’ll see when it actually happens” Febin told him that if the case arises he’ll have to buy 4 more tickets as we all will be moving out.
Ours was 3rd row from the screen and the hall was almost full. Instead of watching the ongoing ads we started looking at the gate to see how many more people are coming. Ours were middle seats. The seats on either side were almost filled. People started sitting in the row in front of us. Slowly (it seemed an eternity but actually it was around a minute or two) the no of people entering reduced and started settling in their seats. There were still some empty seats in front of us for contingency – you never know what might happen :P. Luckily things went fine. The movie started. The hall was completely full upto our row. The people stopped entering and we had a sigh of relief.
Of course we didn’t buy the extra ticket in the interval and had a good laugh on it. Every time Kunal is with us and goes to buy the ticket we remember this incident and ask him to buy the exact no of tickets.

@Anonymous: It actually happened
@Faded Glory: Well the security there has been tightened (not sure if there have been similar incidents) and it looks unlikely that this is gonna happen again
@Kunal: Try again :P

Kunal ke saath ho to expect the unexpected...the way he mentioned it to us caught us offguard and completely by surprise..thus the offer if there were no seats vacant, Kunal had to buy 4 tickets for the next show timing.
