My phone rings for the nth time as I try to climb up the stairs as fast as I can, out of all days the elevator had to be out of service TODAY, wearing the heavy lehenga seems to add to the misery, I open the door to the hall and see my whole family...
"Our love got tired and went to sleep that night, and it didn't wake up the next morning" -- B. Desvarieux --------------------------------------------------------- Present--
Vahni POV:
As the sun rises over the garden, the atmosphere begins to buzz with excitement. Today's the day of the haldi ceremony, and everyone's eager to get started.
I wake up early, feeling a mix of excitement and nervousness. I've been looking forward to this day for weeks, and I'm thrilled to be a part of Vanya's special day.
As I get ready, I can hear the sound of laughter and chatter coming from the garden. I make my way downstairs, and my eyes widen as I take in the scene before me.
The garden is transformed into a vibrant and colorful setting, with bright yellow and orange decorations everywhere. The air is filled with the sweet scent of marigolds and the sound of traditional Indian music.
Vanya looks stunning in a bright yellow saree, her hair tied up in a loose bun. She's beaming with happiness, and I can tell she's excited for the ceremony to begin.
Vishaal, on the other hand, looks a bit nervous but also excited. He's dressed in a traditional Indian outfit, and his eyes are shining with happiness.
As the ceremony begins, Vishaal's mother applies the haldi paste to his face and arms. Vyara and I take turns applying the paste to his skin, laughing and joking as we go.
The crowd cheers and claps, urging us on as we cover Vishaal in a thick layer of haldi paste. He's laughing and pretending to squirm away, but we're relentless.
Finally, after what feels like an eternity, we finish applying the haldi paste to Vishaal. He's covered in a thick layer of yellow paste, and he looks like a completely different person.
The crowd erupts into cheers and applause, and Vishaal grins from ear to ear. He's officially yellow, and he's loving every minute of it.
Now it's Vanya's turn. Her mother trying to apply the haldi paste to her face and arms, when Vihaan takes over, covering her in a thick layer of yellow paste.
Vanya's laughing and pretending to squirm away, but Vihaan's too quick. He's got a wicked sense of humor, and he's determined to make Vanya laugh.
I'm standing off to the side, watching as Vanya's mother applies the haldi paste to her face and arms. Vihaan's standing next to me, grinning from ear to ear.
Suddenly, he turns to me and says, "Hey, Vahni! You're looking a bit too clean. Let me fix that."
Before I can react, he's dipped his hand into the bowl of haldi paste and is smearing it all over my face and arms. I squeal and try to squirm away, but Vihaan's too quick.
I try to playfully push him away, but he's too strong. He's got me pinned against the wall, his hands covered in haldi paste as he continues to smear it all over my face and arms.
I'm laughing and trying to squirm away, but Vihaan's just laughing and teasing me even more. Our eyes meet, and for a moment, it's just the two of us, lost in the moment.
As we're laughing and joking together, Vihaan's face inches closer to mine. I feel a flutter in my chest as I realize what's happening.
And then, in a moment that feels like slow motion, Vihaan's lips brush against mine. It's a light, gentle kiss, but it sends shivers down my spine.
I'm taken aback, but I don't pull away. Instead, I feel myself leaning into the kiss, my heart racing with excitement.
But before things can go any further, Vihaan pulls away, a mischievous glint in his eye. "Gotcha!" he whispers, his voice low and husky.
I feel a blush rise to my cheeks as I realize what just happened. But as I look into Vihaan's eyes, I see something there that makes my heart skip a beat.
As the ceremony progresses, the atmosphere becomes even more lively and festive. Everyone's laughing and joking together, and the music's getting louder and more upbeat.
I glance over at Vihaan, who's now running behind our friends with the haldi bowl in his hand. I can tell he's having the time of his life, and I'm happy to be a part of it.
As the haldi ceremony comes to a close, the crowd cheers and applauds. Vanya and Vishaal are both covered in a thick layer of yellow paste, and they're looking happy and radiant.
The atmosphere is electric, with everyone caught up in the excitement of the moment. I feel grateful to be a part of this celebration, to be surrounded by so much love and joy.
And as I glance over at Vihaan, I feel a spark of attraction between us. It's as if the haldi paste has brought us closer together, our eyes locking in a way that makes my heart skip a beat.
But before I can process what's happening, Vihaan takes my hand, and we're swept up in the celebration, dancing and laughing together with the others.
The music's getting louder and more upbeat, and the crowd's getting more and more rowdy. I feel like I'm on top of the world, surrounded by so much love and joy.
And as I glance over at Vihaan, I know that this is a moment I'll never forget.
