*************************

I was just done with my Rangoli, after a little final touch of glitter, and I swear to God the muscle pain I am going to deal with tomorrow morning. 

I can already feel my thighs getting sour, even though I do exercise even if it's just 3 days a week. 

But that all vanished when I took one look at my Rangoli. It looked absolutely mesmerizing. The beaks of two peacocks touching together with their feather in shapes of leaves scattered around them making a spade, with shades of different of colors highlighting each feature. 

"Aayushi" I heard Ayansh Bhai and turned around to look at him. 

"Yeah ?" but his eyes were on my Rangoli. 

"Wow.." he trailed off looking at it. "Wait lemme just take a picture of it with you" he said as he fetched his phone out from his pocket. 

"What ? Not just yet" I said looking down at my clothes. I was still in Pajamas. "I need to get ready first" 

"No No No this is perfect. Everyone should know this is how you made it, not in those fancy ass clothes" 

"Ohh ? You got a point there" So I just simply started adding the finishing touches while he clicked pictures of me. 

"I'll send these to you"

"Okay" And just then I saw someone's leg sticking out, trying to disturb my Rangoli on the other end. Not even bothering to look up to see who it is I close my eyes and take some deep breaths telling myself that he would not ruin it. He's just trying to get me act on it. 

"Ayaan..." I trailed off and looked up and he stood with a smirk of his own. 

"If your feet touches even a single molecule of the colors of this Rangoli, you are not going to wake up to see another morning." I told him glaring at him and his smile vanished instantly. 

He backed away trying to balance on one foot and my heart skipped a beat. But then he landed safely and my Rangoli was saved too. 

"Gadha" I said and he rolled his eyes at me walking inside the kitchen. 

After I was finally done with my Rangoli I went inside the kitchen and took all the fancy candles from my drawer. There was a different kind of excitement today. It's not a biggest secret that Diwali is my favorite festival. The festivities are all in the air and I just love taking it all in. The atmosphere surrounds with the smell of sweets, and different kinds of lights shining in the sky, and I absolutely adore all of it. Except for the pollution part.

I am an eco- friendly person after all. 

I adjusted all the candles and started lighting them up one by one. The fairy lights are already adjusted. And I asked Ayansh bhai to even buy some rose flower petals so I can decorate our living room perfectly. And it was looking just how I imagined it to be. 

After I was done with everything I saw both of my brothers staring at the room with their mouths kinda hung open. 

"God didi, I don't know what Ayansh Bhaiya and me would have done without you" he spoke coming buy my side and I smiled sarcastically. 

"It's simple. You would have done literally nothing" I said and both of them nodded in agreement. 

"Alright but you need to go get ready now. It's almost time for pooja and then God knows who'll show up. And then we also need to go to Rajesh Uncle's house too remember ?" Bhai asked and I hummed a yes.
