Raasleela ✔

"Be the Krishna to my Radha tonight"

"WHAT?" Nidhi screamed causing Mallika to put hands on her eyes not to become deaf.

"You can't be serious Amrit, this is not a joke." Nidhi put the speaker on call.

"Mallika?" She hums.

"There's a slight change in theme. "

"Okay and?"

"It has to be hosted tonight, it's Raasleela." Amrit finished and Màllika gasped.

"Mal-
"What the hell happened to change this?" Mallika demanded.

"uh, I kind of lost a bet so uh.."

"Guys and their foolish acts." She sighs.

"Hey, Sumedh suggested it."
Ofcourse! He can only be that complete idiot to suggest such a game.

And luck was never in her favour.

"Fine, let me see what can I do. And get lost. If you want your body fine and healthy until your marriage, stay away from Nidhi. " She whispered and cut the call.

"HOW CA-
The ring of the phone interrupted and Nidhi frowned at the caller.

"It's Sumedh." Mallika instantly picked up the call.

"Good Morning beautiful lady!" Nidhi giggled while Mallika rolled her eyes.

"Well ladies if I may correct you Mr. " Nidhi teased.

"Oh yes, ladies. My apology. So how is the preparation for raasleela going on." Mallika could imagine him grinning madly.

"Meet me in the Sangeet Hall right now." Mallika ended the call and walked out to finish this conversation for today.

He was sitting on the chair calmly when he saw her entering. But God, she looked mad.

"What is your problem idiot?" She cried and threw the pen she was holding.

"Ouu, what the heck. It's such a beautiful theme, start preparating you don't have the entire day." He teased more.

She walked towards him, making him nervous second by second.
"Excuse me." Sumedh said when she reached nose by nose.

"Why, is it bothering you Mr. Flirt?" She smiled innocently.

"Umm.. it's called personal space you know." He whispered.

"Well, then I'm not that educated." She whispers back looking in his eye.

"Are you scared you won't be able to finish the theme on time and dissapoint dear Amrit?" He said taking 2 steps back.

"I'm NOT scared. " She walks two steps forward.

"Then it's a challenge." He smirks and puts his hand out.

"Host a raasleela for everybody! Everybody means everybody, the bride, groom, their families in the yard. "

"I will only if you do one thing."

"Jaan bhi kurbaan tumhare naam." He throws a cheesy line while she rolls her eyes.

"Oye, Sasti gali ke Romeo improve your standards. Dance with me." For a second he couldn't believe what she said.

"W-what?" She almost smiled at his state.

"Why does dancing with me bothers you?" She smirks.

"Uh..no?"

"No? Fine, you and me will lead the dance. Get ready. Be the Krishna to my Radha tonight. " She winks leaving him in awe and it looked like she just fulfilled his little dream as a kid.

He gaped at the sight and could not even imagine her words.

D-did she...just?

Krishna's Radha.

Radha's Krishna.

Radhakrishna.

Them

Together.

Aha, he closed his eyes sighing dreamily knowing it was a dream come true.

"Ma'am you look gorgeous. " Mallika smiled at the makeup artist who was almost done with her makeover.
She didn't know why but she wanted to look too good today, for herself or maybe for someone else too.

She was nervous too, in such a short time span she had done many arrangements and prepared her team members for the event.
Her team with herself will lead the entire Raasleela planned Sangeet night. While the audience will follow. She had done more than 50 events in her little life but every one was a different vibe. And new changes bring anxiety and little fear too

"Mall... OH MY GOD, YOU LITERALLY LOOK. ET-ETHERNAL! FUDGE." Nidhi yelled in surprise seeing her best friend all dolled up.

"Shut up, look at yourself."

"Oh please, I'm the Gopi. You're the Radha tonight." She says walking over to her meeting her eyes in the mirror.

"It's not too much right?" Mallika hesitates

"Nope, just perfect! Actually I've no words. Didn't I say eternal. No words left. Damn, so many hearts are going to skip today. Maybe you'll find your prospective groom today." She teases to which Mallika rolls her eyes.

"If you look so good today, I can't even imagine you as a bride in your own wedding." Nidhi SQUEALS.

"Come out from your dreamland Nidhi Madam, go and check the songs lastly! "

Nidhi grins and walks out while Mallika gives a final look to herself and thanks the artist. She walks outside seeing the hustling bustling, her gaze landing on Amrit and Roshni who were smiling among themselves decked in all traditional wear. She looks around but couldn't find her competitor. She frowns and moves towards her team for last min preparations.

On the other side, Sumedh takes a deep breathe at the sight from the window of the lobby. She looks like a Goddess, damn!

"Tujhse vo aakhiri Ishq hai,
Jo pehli baar hua hai mujhe."

It was going to be hell hard tonight to take his eyes off, her.
Oh, a long night awaits
