♡Inayah's pov♡

There is this comforting feeling in the air, the immense joy, energy is creating a sense of togetherness.
Whole area is adorned by colourful decorations, fairy lights. white flowers are beautifully scattered everywhere. Many lanterns are hanging from the celling and Light music is being played in the background.

Many people, who I have no clue about are wearing variety of traditional attires. Everyone is busy, already engaged in their conversations.

Glancing across the room my eyes lands on a girl standing beside one of the pillar. She was around my age, maybe a few years younger.

You know, there is a thing about woman across the room. You see her standing and you think, she's so poised. That's how I felt staring at the girl with gorgeous red hair in front of me, I am not jealous but in awe of God's creation.

The most striking feature about her face is her big brown doe eyes, They are a little puffy, maybe due to crying?

Her eyes glances the entire area clearly bored and ready to get the hell out of here, but as soon as they land on me, a smile grazes her lips.

Umm okay?

She starts to make her way towards me, but when her eyes shifts a little I realize that she was not looking at me, but at someone standing behind me.

Turning I see Mr stupid Malhotra standing, looking at the girl with a small smile on his lips.

Excuse freaking me?

And then she suddenly hugs him out of nowhere.

Whattttt?

Its like I am not even standing her. I am just a hallucination.

Hugging for a second which felt like an hour, Arhaan finally moves back.

"Hi, Aditi Its been such a long time. How have you been?" Arhaan said.

"Yes, how many years? Somewhere like 2? How is everyone? How is Aunty and Dh-

the mysterious girl said gripping her upper arms with her hands.
I could literally see that this conversation was so awkward.

"everyone is fine Aditi and you know there is no need for an awkward conversation like this, I know you are still recovering from what that idiot did. You should go meet Maa she was asking about you earlier." He mumbles in a low voice.

"hmm, I should, but I'll see you soon" she says walking away but not before touching Arhaan's arm.

Like I said I am not even here, I am just an illusion.

Finally getting out of his super "interesting" conversation Arhaan finally looks back at me.

"who was that?" I say pointing at the girl walking away in other direction.
