As Aarav and I slipped away from the bustling crowd, the music faded into a distant hum. The soft glow of string lights above cast a gentle ambiance around us. Aarav’s words, like a delicate melody, broke the silence.
"You're looking very pretty tonight, Shriya," he said with a warm smile, his eyes reflecting sincerity.
I tried to reciprocate his compliment with gratitude, but my mind lingered on thoughts of Rohan. Despite Aarav's kindness, my heart was elsewhere.
Before I could respond, Ishika appeared out of nowhere, her infectious energy pulling me towards the dance floor. With a quick glance back at Aarav, I followed Ishika into the whirl of music and laughter, leaving behind the quiet moment with him.
As the night unfolded, amidst the pulsating rhythm and laughter, Aarav's words echoed in my mind, leaving me with a lingering sense of curiosity about what he had wanted to share. But for now, the music and the company of my friends enveloped me, carrying me away from the complexities of the moment.
Little did I know, amidst the laughter and dance, that the night held more surprises and revelations yet to come.
