CBG#1 CHASING HER (UNDERGOING EDITING)

Chp:-15 Diwali (EDITED)

NATASHA ALIA SINGHANIA

I wore a Indo Western pastel pink dhoti style  silk suit. I wore jhumkas that Aashi di had gifted me last year on my birthday. I tied a fish tail braid on my hair. I wanted to keep it simple and subtle. I put my wallet, goggles, hand towel, handkerchief and other essentials in my sling bag. I had breakfast that housekeeper had prepared for me and then I left for Raichand mansion.

I drove till there. I was so damn excited to celebrate Diwali with everyone. I entered the bustling Raichand mansion, feeling a mix of excitement and anticipation. The aroma of delicious food filled the air, and the sight of Rohan sitting on the couch with Kabir and Soham made my heart skip a beat. I couldn't help but notice the twinkle in Rohan's eyes as he looked at me.

I said while smiling, " Hello, everyone! How can I help speed things up?"

Rohan's gaze lingered on me for a moment before he found his voice.

Rohan admiringly looked at me and said, "Natasha, you look absolutely stunning. That pastel pink dhoti suit suits you perfectly."

Soham said, "I agree with Ro, looking lovely soon to be sis in law."

I couldn't help but blush, feeling grateful for the compliment. I said, "Thank you soon to be jeeju and Rohan. You're looking quite handsome yourself Ronny Boy."

Soham bhai smirked and said, "Ouuu, that was specific."

Kabir was whispering something to Soham jeeju while cheekily smiling and he was grinning after listening to Kabir and nodded his head.

Ragini aunty, Arnab uncle, Dakshita and Samaira, and Rohan's aunts Nandita and Madhu, approached us.

Arnab uncle came, gave me a side hug and said, "Alu bacha, my favourite kid come come."

Ragini aunty said,  "Natasha, my dear, you look absolutely gorgeous! That dhoti suit is a perfect choice."

I said, "Thank you, Aunty."

Dakshita said, "Natasha, I've heard so much about your rangoli skills. Could you please make a beautiful design for our pre-Diwali celebrations?"

I eagerly replied, "Of course, Dakshita. I would love to create a rangoli for the festivities." I have always loved doing that. Rangoli making is my favourite activity.

Nandita aunty gave me the vibrant colors and delicate tools for the rangoli. As I delicately crafted my special intricate design on the floor, I poured my heart into each stroke, hoping to create something truly beautiful.

ROHAN DEV RAICHAND

As Natasha focused on creating the rangoli, her graceful movements captivated me. Her dedication and talent were evident in every stroke. I couldn't help but be mesmerized by her. I could stare at her all day. I don't know what is wrong with me. Soon, she was done. That was quick and effortless I must say!

Natasha said while calling everyone, " It's done! Come and see the rangoli."

Everyone gathered around, their eyes widening in awe as they saw the masterpiece Natasha had created.

Madhu Taiji said, "amazing Natasha, this is breathtaking! You truly have a magical touch."

Natasha humbly said, "Thank you, Aunty. I'm glad you all like it." Her humility attracts me.

My heart swelled with pride, not only for Natasha's artistic talent but for the incredible person she was. I couldn't resist expressing my admiration.

I was genuinely awestruck. I ended up saying, " This rangoli is stunning, but it pales in comparison to the beauty of our Alia." Everyone grinned at my words.
