I woke up at 4 am, eager to start preparing for the day's events. The mehendi ceremony was scheduled for the evening, followed by the sangeet program, and I had to ensure everything was perfect.
I grabbed a fresh set of clothes, opting for a comfortable outfit to tackle the long day ahead. Knowing I'd be wearing a heavy dress for the evening's festivities, I decided to keep my daytime attire casual. I slipped on a vibrant orange kurti, paired it with crisp white pants, and added a stylish touch by draping a dupatta on my left side, securing it with a safety pin.
A sudden knock on the door broke the silence.
"Anisha! Are you awake?" Arushi's voice echoed from the other side.
I opened the door, revealing a bright-eyed Arushi
"Yeah, I'm up and ready! Let's get moving!"I replied and stepped out into the hallway, closing the door behind me with a soft click.
We set off for the Palace Garden, the venue for the upcoming festivities. The palace was a majestic structure, its grandeur rivaling that of my uncle's mansion.
However, this palace held a unique allure, steeped in history and prestige, with stories etched in its walls that spanned decades.
As I passed through the imposing doors and traversed the lengthy hallway, I couldn't help but feel a sense of admiration for the palace's architecture, even if I wasn't entirely awestruck. Having grown up in a sprawling mansion, I was somewhat desensitized to grandeur, but the palace's beauty still managed to leave me breathless.
After a leisurely stroll, we finally arrived at the designated starting point, and our busy day began in earnest.
"Hello, beautiful," A boy, resembling Adwait but with black hair, approached me with a charming smile, his eyes sparkling with warmth.
I returned his greeting, curious about his intentions.
"How can I help you?" I asked, my tone friendly yet polite.
"I just wanted to check on the decorations," he replied, his gaze scanning the surroundings.
"I hope everything is coming along well."
"Yes, they're perfect so far." I reassured him, he nodded, seemingly pleased.
"Good to know!"
"Are you from the bride's side or the groom's side?" I asked, already knowing the answer.
"Oh, sorry, I forgot to introduce myself." He said with a smile.
