The Journey Ahead

12. The Most Awaited Day

"Hot is the type of girl you want and beautiful is what she is. Both are not same."

Aryan's words absolutely blew up Ayaan's mind. It will be very wrong if he says that he never found Kajal to be beautiful. She looked heavenly yesterday when she came to meet them. She is certainly not hot but yes she is beautiful. And the fact that he never liked somebody like this made him believe that it is impossible for him to fall for Kajal or even like her.

"Broo.. What magic she did to you??" Aryan's voice brought him back from his trance.

"Who?? What magic?" Ayaan answered back utterly confused.

"Kajal of course..I don't think any other girl has made AYAAN KHAN drink coffee" Aryan said and laughed out loud.

Ayaan is never fond of coffee. That disgusting smell of milk makes him feel like vomiting. He never liked any diary product. And nobody could make him drink or eat any diary product until yesterday when he had kulfi with her. But he didn't knew why it had made no problem to him.

"Ohh you stop taking her name. You seem more interested with Kajal. Isn't it?" Ayaan asked Aryan.

"Definitely not." Aryan defended himself who seem to be interested with anyone else.

"Whatever" Saying this he left the kitchen where he was to take a glass of mango juice but ended up taking a cup of coffee.

--------------------

Several days passed after Aryan and Ayaan took Naina and Kajal out. And finally it was the day of the event. The event is to be held in the school auditorium only. All the participants and the non participants gathered there. The green room is most crowded with participants who were getting their makeup and dress done. And the non participants were busy decorating and making preparations to welcome the guests. It was 2pm and the programme was about to start at 6pm.

While here Naina and Kajal had been sitting impatiently since when God knows. All the man who were doing makeup, were all occupied with someone. Naina and Kajal and two three more girls were yet to do their makeup and their dress and hair were all pending. So they started gossiping and their topics of gossiping never ends as their mother said one day the world will but their gossips will never end.

---------------------

It's already 5 in the evening and just 1 hour is left for the event to start. There were some guests who need to be welcomed. The members of the office Barriers and the school captain were alloted for the same.

Aryan and Ayaan being the house captain of their respective houses also had many responsibilities. They greeted the guests warmly with flowers and a memento.

Finally Naina and Kajal's makeup is done. Naina wore a red anarkali while Kajal wore a yellow one. They were wearing the most minimum makeup needed for a stage performance. Their hair was in a low bun with few curly strands is taken outside. Naina was excited for the event and so do Kajal. They have been practicing the dance ofr a month now and they both are quite confident about it.

It's 6 now. By the time all the juniors, students, teachers, parents and the chief guests have arrived. The curtains opened slowly revealing Adit Singh of Class 11 who is the host of today's annual event. With a warm smile she started her speech. "Good evening to all who has gathered here. I Aditi Singh welcoming you all with a warm smile and an open heart to the 125th annual event of Royal High School. Today all of you is going to enjoy the event which will be comprising of dance, music, recitation and many more. So without any further delay let me welcome our respected principal sir, vice principal maam, all our HODs and all our chief guests to come to the stage to light the auspicious candle so that we can start our event." Aditi stepped aside and slowly all took over the stage.
