"You touched

the place in my heart,

where love runs wild."

~●~

The last night of Holika Dahan had been immensely confusing. Anokhi strode about restlessly in her room as her confused mind remembered some moments from last night. An overwhelming trepidation was making her stomach flutter every now and then, as she tried to analyse the mixed signals, she thought she had received from her PS last night. Today she was supposed to go for the Holi Celebrations, at Morrisson Villa Resort. That was not what bothered her. What or who rather, actually did was Mr. Shaurya Sabharwal (her PS) who had invited her over to be with him there. She didn't even know whether the Sabherwals would be there. Those were secondary things to think about. Her mind rattled on the way she remembered, her PS had revealed the plan to her; the amusing look he had in his eyes while proposing the same. The look, however, had a display of intangible emotions which consequently became the reason, she had been twisting and turning in bed, all night for. Sleep deprivation didn't help her ease one bit.

Excitement, giddiness and anxiousness; each upsurging above the other, was making her feel in a way, she never had. She knew she had felt some inexplicable feelings and longingness for him; but some uncertain hints of reciprocation of the same, last night.... was that what made her feel that way? Was it true what she had been thinking? Would today be a revelation of what she had been secretly desiring?

She decided against going there. Could she not ring him up, and tell him that she wouldn't be able to make it there, for being down with fever or fabricate some other inane excuse? That would have been too ridiculous! She couldn't avoid it (not that she wanted to) but this type of situation was something she had never been accustomed to, nor had she expected to be in; not anytime soon at least. Today, she felt herself faltering and failing to bring enough courage in the sherni, she and everybody else knew she was; again something, that had never been the case with her. Exhaling a final sigh of  , she thought of giving up on her overthinking and decided to get herself ready to get going.

Little did she know, this Holi would fill her life with such hues, she never knew, had existed; as something too special was waiting for her to unfurl.
