"life is unexpected no one knows who you'll meet at what point of your life and what place they'll hold in your life" just like these two people who are about to get tied by unexpected fate
"Both families were caught up in the excitement and hustle of preparing for the haldi ceremony."
AT DARSH'S HOUSE:-
"Meenu enters Darsh's room, eyes bright with anticipation. She notices Darsh already dressed and approaches him with a mix of surprise and relief."
Meenu, smiling: waah, kya bt! aaj toh bina bole ready ho gya.
Darsh shifts uncomfortably but gives a small nod: hn, vo..... papa aae the bolne ke lie.
Meenu's smile fades slightly, replaced by a knowing expression: oo accha, dr ke maare taiyyar ho gya tu. "Her tone softens, pleading" accha ab sun, mujhe pta h tujhe koi interest nhi is shaadi m, lkin ab kya kr skta h. Toh isse accha yeh hoga ki tu khushi khushi shaamil ho shaadi m. Kl bhi tu mehendi m ese muh sda kr baitha tha, sb log baatein bna rhe the. Please, aaj ese muh mt bnana, thoda smile hi kr lena.... please.
Darsh looks at her with conflicted eyes: maa aap-
Meenu places a hand gently on his shoulder, eyes searching his face for a hint of compliance: dekh, darsh, bs ek cheej maang rhi hu tujhse aaj. Tu khush nhi hoga toh mujhe bhi bura lgega. Islie, aaj sb bhool ja or bs enjoy kr. Shaadi smjh kr na shi, ese hi sochle ki family gathering h. Tujhe ksm h meri, aaj muh nhi sadana h.
Darsh sighs heavily, his eyes dropping to the floor: maa... khushi toh dil se aani cahhiye na, kse fake smile kru? Or aap hr bt m ksm q dete ho mujhe?
Meenu's eyes glisten with unshed tears, her voice lowering: please... aaj bs mere lie smile krna. "She manages a shaky smile" chl ab neeche chl sb wait kr rhe h.
"Reluctantly, Darsh follows Meenu downstairs, where the haldi ceremony is in full swing. The atmosphere buzzes with cheerful chatter, the scent of turmeric and marigold filling the room. The ceremony begins, and one by one, family members smear haldi on Darsh, accompanied by playful teasing and laughter. Darsh finds himself caught in the joy, a reluctant smile breaking through as someone tries to apply haldi under his shirt."
"He yelps and playfully dodges, prompting laughter from everyone around. For a moment, the room bursts into uncontrollable giggles as Darsh runs around, trying to escape. Rajiv and Meenu exchange a look of pure happiness, their eyes shining with satisfaction as they see Darsh's guarded exterior finally crack, revealing a smile they hadn't seen in a long time."

AT SATAKSHI'S HOUSE:-
"The house buzzed with excitement as the haldi ceremony commenced, with relatives taking turns to apply turmeric on Satakshi. The soft, rhythmic notes of the mangal geet filled the air, their melodies echoing with the warmth of tradition and love. Satakshi sat in the center, her eyes glistening with a mix of joy and nervous anticipation. Her smile faltered when her father approached, eyes moist, holding the bowl of haldi with trembling hands. Their gazes met, and in that instant, the weight of the moment sank in. Without a word, tears welled up in Satakshi's eyes, mirroring her father's. He gently applied haldi to her cheeks, his touch soft yet heavy with emotion. Unable to hold back, Satakshi reached up and embraced him tightly, tears streaming down her face. The room grew silent as everyone felt the raw bond between father and daughter."
