The grand reception hall was abuzz with music, laughter, and the clinking of glasses. The decorations were lavish, with flowers and lights adorning every corner. But amidst the joy and celebration, a sense of tension lingered.Ruhi and Rohit, the newlyweds, stood at the center of it all, their smiles and laughter a facade for the unease that brewed beneath the surface. Ruhi's eyes sparkled, but her heart was heavy with the weight of her lingering feelings for Armaan.
Rohit, sensing her distance, stood by her side with a patient smile. He knew she needed time and space, and he was willing to wait. But the tension was palpable, and their friends and family couldn't help but notice.
Manish and Suwarna reminisced about her childhood and her mother's memories flashing before their eyes. Rohit reminded them of Ruhi's father and the happy time they shared.
As the night wore on, the music and laughter grew louder, but the underlying tension remained. Ruhi's mixed emotions swirled like a storm, while Rohit's understanding gaze held steady. The music shifted to a soft, romantic melody. Rohit took Ruhi's hand, his eyes locked on hers. "Let's dance," he whispered.
Ruhi hesitated for a moment, but then nodded. They stepped onto the dance floor, surrounded by the twinkling lights and the gentle hum of conversation.
Rohit pulled Ruhi close, his arms wrapping around her waist. She felt a flutter in her chest as their bodies swayed to the music. For a moment, they forgot about the tension and the uncertainty, lost in the rhythm and each other's eyes.
As they danced, Ruhi felt a spark of connection with Rohit. She saw the love and understanding in his eyes, and her heart skipped a beat. Maybe, just maybe, she thought, they could make this work.
But as the music faded and they pulled apart, reality set back in. Ruhi's eyes drifted away, her mind still tangled in thoughts of Armaan. Rohit's face fell, his eyes clouding with disappointment.
The dance had brought them close, but it wasn't enough to bridge the gap between them. Not yet, at least.
As the night wore on, Ruhi and Rohit returned to their seats, the tension between them still palpable. They tried to make small talk, but the conversation felt forced, like they were just going through the motions.
Just then, the DJ announced a special song request. "This one goes out to the happy couple, Ruhi and Rohit!" he exclaimed.
Ruhi's heart sank as the opening notes of a familiar song filled the room. It was the same song she and Armaan used to dance to, the same song that brought back memories of their whirlwind romance.
She felt a lump form in her throat as Rohit stood up, his eyes locked on hers. "Let's dance," he said again, his voice low and husky.
But this time, Ruhi couldn't bring herself to move. She was frozen in place, her heart heavy with the weight of her past and her present.
Rohit's face fell, and he sat back down beside her, his eyes filled with a mix of disappointment and understanding.
The song played on, a bittersweet reminder of what could have been, what should have been. Ruhi knew she had to make a choice, to let go of the past and embrace the present. But it was harder than it seemed.
Ruhi took a deep breath and placed her hand in Rohit's. "Let's dance," she said, her voice barely above a whisper.
Rohit's face lit up with a warm smile, and he pulled her close. They stepped onto the dance floor, the music enveloping them like a warm embrace.
As they swayed to the rhythm, Ruhi felt a sense of release, like she was letting go of all her doubts and fears. She looked up at Rohit, his eyes shining with love and understanding.
For the first time that night, she felt like she was truly seeing him, truly connecting with him. The music, the lights, the world around them melted away, leaving only the two of them, lost in the moment.
As the song drew to a close, Rohit spun her around, his arms wrapping around her waist. Ruhi laughed, feeling carefree and alive. It was like a weight had been lifted off her shoulders, like she had finally found her footing.
The music faded, but they kept dancing, lost in the magic of the moment. And in that instant, Ruhi knew that she was ready to move on, to embrace this new chapter of her life with Rohit.
How was it. Tell me in comment.
