Vahni POV:

Today's Sangeet

"Hey sis, have you seen my new purse?" Vyara asks, popping out of her room.

"I think it was in your room, go check," I reply, placing my emerald green lehenga on the bed.

I head to the room where Vanya is getting ready. She is sitting in front of a mirror, surrounded by makeup artists. She looks beautiful, and I can't help but smile.

"Hey Vahni, come sit!" Vanya says, patting the chair beside her. "Let them do your makeup too. Later, the elders will come, and it'll get crazy."

I nod and take the chair beside her. A makeup artist starts working on my face, and I chat with Vanya as we get ready for the Sangeet ceremony.

As the makeup artist works her magic, I glance over at Vanya, who's chatting with her own makeup artist. We're both getting our makeup done, and the room is filled with the sound of chatter and laughter.

After what feels like an eternity, the makeup artists finally finish up our looks. We both stand up, admiring our reflections in the mirror.

I head back to my room to put on my emerald green lehenga. As I'm trying to hook the blouse, I realize I need some help. I try to reach the hook, but it's just out of my grasp.

I open the door to call out for Vyara or anyone else who can assist me. But to my surprise, I see Vihaan standing in the hallway, looking handsome in his kurta.

"Hey, where's Vyara?" I ask, trying to sound casual despite the butterflies in my stomach.

"She's still doing makeup with Vanya," Vihaan replies with a smile. "Need some help with something?"

I hesitate for a moment before responding, "I need help with this hook. I'm having trouble reaching it."

Vihaan's smile widens as he walks into my room. "Let me help you with that," he says, his fingers brushing against mine as he reaches for the hook.

Vihaan's fingers brush against mine as he reaches for the hook. I feel a jolt of electricity run through my body, and my heart skips a beat. He gently takes the fabric of my blouse and hooks it into place, his fingers grazing against my skin.

As he steps back, his eyes meet mine, and we share a moment of intense connection. I feel like I'm drowning in the depths of his eyes, and I'm not sure if I want to be rescued.

Vihaan's gaze drops to my shoulder, and he takes a step closer. My heart is racing now, and I can feel the air thickening around us.

Without saying a word, Vihaan leans in and presses a soft kiss to my shoulder. I feel a shiver run down my spine as his lips touch my skin.

He pulls back, his eyes locked on mine, and I feel like I'm melting into his gaze. Then, in a move that catches me completely off guard, he leans in and kisses my shoulder again.

This time, his lips linger for a fraction of a second longer, and I feel my heart skip a beat. I'm not sure what's happening, but I know I don't want it to stop.

But then, just as suddenly as it started, the moment is over. Vihaan steps back, a soft smile on his face, and says, "You look beautiful, Vahni."

I'm left standing there, feeling dazed and confused, but also... excited. What just happened? And what does it mean?

I take a deep breath, trying to process what just happened. Vihaan's kisses on my shoulder are still sending shivers down my spine.

I shake my head, trying to clear my thoughts. I need to focus on getting ready for the Sangeet ceremony.

I head out of my room, looking for Vyara and Vanya. I find them in the room where we got our makeup done earlier. The hair stylists are busy working on their hair, and Vyara waves me over.

"Hey, Vahni! Come get your hair done," she says, smiling.

I take a seat next to Vyara, and the hair stylist starts working on my hair. As I'm getting my hair styled, I catch a glimpse of Vihaan standing in the doorway, watching me.

Our eyes meet, and I feel that same jolt of electricity run through my body. I look away, trying to compose myself, but I can feel Vihaan's eyes on me, making my skin tingle.

As I'm getting my hair styled, I try to focus on the conversation around me, but my mind keeps drifting back to Vihaan's kisses on my shoulder. I feel a flutter in my chest every time I think about it.

Vyara notices me lost in thought and nudges me playfully. "Hey, Vahni, what's going on? You seem a million miles away."

I shake my head, trying to clear my thoughts. "I'm just thinking about the ceremony tonight," I reply, trying to sound casual.

Vyara raises an eyebrow. "You're not nervous about performing, are you? You've practiced that dance a million times."

I smile, feeling a bit more at ease. "I know, I'm just a bit anxious about everything going smoothly tonight."

Vyara gives me a reassuring smile. "Don't worry, everything will be fine. We've got this."

As we finish getting ready, Vanya comes over to us, looking stunning in her outfit. "Okay, girls, let's get going! The cars are waiting for us."

We gather our things and head out of the house. Vihaan is already waiting by the car, looking handsome in his kurta. He opens the door for us and helps us in.

As we drive to the venue, the excitement builds up. We chat and laugh, enjoying each other's company. Vihaan is driving, and I'm sitting next to him, feeling a sense of comfort and ease.

We arrive at the venue, and the atmosphere is electric. The music is playing, and the decorations are stunning. We get out of the car, and Vihaan offers me his arm. I take it, feeling a spark of electricity as our skin touches.
