A Desire to Win Her | Ongoing

Chapter 30

"We were in the cafeteria," Kavya answered and then grinned, a mischievous twinkle in her eyes as she replied, "Oh, you'll just have to wait and see what role I'll be playing. It's going to be a surprise!"

The other girls groaned in frustration, but Kavya just winked playfully, enjoying the suspense she was creating.

Arvika, ever the peacekeeper, gestured for the girls to sit on their beds, calming their frenzied energy. "Alright, let's take a moment to discuss," she said with a reassuring smile. "What roles do you all have in mind? We can brainstorm together and figure out something fantastic for each of you."

One of the girls turned to Arvika with a curious expression. "Arvika, what role are you playing? This Kavya is not going to share? At least you tell?" she asked eagerly.

Arvika chuckled, shaking her head slightly. "Actually, I'm still undecided," she admitted. "But there are so many iconic characters we could choose from! How about Geet from 'Jab We Met,' or Kamli from 'Dhoom 3'? There's also Pooh from 'K3G,' or Rani Padmavati from 'Padmaavat,' and of course, Mastani from 'Bajirao Mastani.'"

Before Arvika could continue, the girls erupted into excited chatter, each expressing their obsession with the character of Mastani. Debates and arguments broke out among them, with everyone clamouring to claim the role for themselves.

Arvika and Kavya couldn't help but laugh at their friends' childishness, exchanging amused glances as they watched the scene unfold.

Finally, Arvika suggested a solution. "Alright, how about this?" she proposed. "We write down each character on a chit of paper, and then we'll draw randomly to decide who gets which role. That way, it's fair for everyone."

The girls agreed eagerly, and soon they were all gathered around, drawing chits from a makeshift bowl. With excitement in the air, they unfolded their chits one by one, revealing the roles they would be playing for the Bollywood Glam Night.

Amidst cheers and laughter, each girl discovered her character, and with newfound enthusiasm, they began planning their transformations for the upcoming event, grateful for Arvika and Kavya's creative solution to their dilemma. 

But Arvika was still left undecided.

After dinner, as Arvika and Kavya settled on their beds, the room was filled with a comfortable silence before Kavya suddenly spoke up. "You know, I've decided on my look for the Bollywood Glam Night," she confessed, a hint of mischief in her voice. "I'm going to be Monjolika, the chudail from 'Bhool Bhulaiyaa.'"

Arvika's eyebrows shot up in surprise, followed by a burst of laughter. "Monjolika? Seriously?" she exclaimed between giggles, struggling to contain her amusement at Kavya's unexpected choice. 

Kavya rolled her eyes playfully. "Hey, don't underestimate the power of Monjolika's charisma! I'll rock that look, you just wait and watch."

"Kamine Mujhase Pucch Raha Hai Main Kaun Hoon, Main Manjulika." Arvika laughed heartily imitating one of the revered dialogues of Queen Monjolika. She couldn't help but tease Kavya, "Well, I guess you do have a certain eerie charm already."

Grinning, Kavya fired back, "And what about you, Arvika? Maybe you could be the chudail from '1920'."

Arvika laughed, shaking her head. "No way! I want a role that actually fits me, thank you very much. Tu to bachpan se hi chudail hai. Monjolika Kahin ki!"
