Shri sat in front of the mirror, her eyes scanning the intricate design of her lehenga as her sister's mehendi function was about to begin. The pastel hues of the fabric complemented her skin tone perfectly, and she couldn't help but feel like a princess. She was just adjusting the dupatta when she heard the door creak open.

Shri turned around to see it was none other than Riyan

Riyan's eyes widened in surprise, and he immediately apologized.

Riyan: Shri, I'm so sorry. Mujhe ni pta tha tum yaha change krri ho, I didn't mean to-

Shri smiled and waved her hand dismissively.

Shri: it's okay Ri , wese b mai almost ready ho chuki hu , actually mujhe tumhari help chahiye thi

Riyan: kesi help Shri ?

Shri gestured to the back of her lehenga blouse.

Shri: Can you tie the knot for me? Mera hath nhi pohonch rha

Riyan's eyes met hers, and for a moment, they just looked at each other. Then, he nodded and walked over to her. Shri felt a flutter in her chest as his hands brushed against hers as he reached around to tie the knot.

As they stood in front of the mirror , he moved her hair to the side ,his fingers brushing against the bare skin of her back , sending shivers down Shri's spine.
She stood still, her eyes fixed on the mirror in front of her, She couldn't help but notice the way his forehead crinkled as he concentrated, or the way his breath whispered against her skin as he leaned in .

As he tied the final knot, he couldn't help but make eye contact with her reflection.
Shri's eyes met his in the mirror, and for a moment, they just stared at each other.

As he broke eye contact, Riyan leaned in close to Shri's ear and whispered

Riyan: you look gorgeous bunny

Shri's eyes widened slightly as she turned to face him, her face inches from his. She smiled, her lips parting slightly as she gazed up at him.

Shri: thanks ri

Riyan's eyes crinkled at the corners as he smiled, feeling a surge of affection for this beautiful woman who was standing in front of him. He loved making her feel good about herself, loved seeing the confidence spark in her eyes when he told her she looked beautiful. He wanted her to see herself from his perspective, only then she will know how lucky he is to have her

As they stood there lost in each other, inching closer with every passing second, their moment was ruined by a loud cough coming from the doorway

Arya: shaadi wala Ghar h Shri , samhal k kahi meri jagha bua ji hoti to Aaj toh gyi thi tu

Shri: ARYAAAAAAAA!!!!!

Shri screamed at the top of her lungs seeing her best friend Arya after so long
They hugged as its been a lifetime since they last met
