Sangeet

KHUSHI

My heart skipped a beat when he came closer. Despite the unexpectedness of the moment, I couldn't help but acknowledge how kind and considerate he had been since we first met. It was surreal to think that I would be sharing my room with a guy I had only encountered by chance at the club. Yet, here we were.

He has always respected me and treated me well due to his friendship with Siddhant. He has become my good friend as me, Suhani, Siddhant and he, spent a lot of time together this past few months. 

When he grabbed my waist gently, I froze. I didn't know how to respond to his actions. I held his arm as he pulled me closer to balance myself. The warmth of his touch sent a shiver down my spine, igniting a myriad of conflicting feelings. I could have pushed him away but I didn't. Why?

He leaned in closer to kiss me I guess. I never let any man touch me because I was saving myself for someone special who would love me with the depth and sincerity I had always longed for. Yet here I was, on the brink of sharing a moment of intimacy with someone who, despite being a dear friend, had not been part of my grand plan for love and commitment. This is wrong I thought to myself. It should have been Siddhant because he was the one I was falling for. I liked him. 

Yes, Ruhan embodied every trait one could desire—he was a gentleman, undeniably attractive, intelligent, and wealthy, among so much more. Yet, despite his allure, I had never allowed myself to see him in that light. I had always considered him out of reach, beyond the realm of possibility. 

I closed my eyes and turned my face away from his, silently acknowledging the boundaries I had set for myself. 

 Ruhan took a step back, his movements cautious and respectful. Though his desire had been palpable, he recognized the importance of honoring my boundaries and the depth of my emotions. As he withdrew, a sense of relief washed over me. 

He apologized and silently exited the room.

What would he do that? Does he have feelings for me? I had so many questions but I was hungry and it was already time for sangeet so I hurried. 

As I arrived at the venue where the Sangeet was set to take place, I was immediately struck by the beauty of the surroundings. The decorations were exquisite, casting a magical glow over the scene. Entranced by the ambiance, I couldn't help but admire the intricate details that adorned the space.

Lost in the moment, I felt a gentle hand on my shoulder, prompting me to turn around. To my delight, it was Suhani. A surge of excitement washed over me at the sight of her, and I couldn't resist enveloping her in a tight hug.

Suhani looked stunning, her presence lighting up the room even more than the decorations. The moonlight seemed to dance off her sparkling dress, accentuating her beauty in a way that took my breath away. 

We started exploring the food and the place.

SIDDHANT

As I was busy with the preparations, I didn't have time to welcome Red when she came. I already met Ruhan and Suhani as they came early before the ceremonies began. 

My cousin sister was busy helping my sister to get ready for her sangeet, so she handed me her 1-year-old to babysit despite my protests and reminders of the impending tasks at hand, she basically emotionally blackmailed me, leaving me with no choice but to reluctantly accept the responsibility.

As I made my way to the venue to do a last-minute check before the Sangeet began, I caught sight of Suhani and Khushi navigating their way through the bustling crowd. They looked absolutely stunning. For a moment, I froze in awe and admired their beauty.
