Ritvik’s book launch party was a glittering success. The venue, decorated with an Ancient Royalty theme, was alive with energy. Tia and Evan, the chief guests, were at the center of attention. Evan introduced Tia to Ritvik with enthusiasm.
“Ritvik, meet Tia Verma. Tia, this is Ritvik Joshi, the mastermind behind tonight’s event.”
"Namaste Bhabhi Ji." Ritvik greeted her.
"Namaste Devar Ji." Tia replied with a smile.
"Vaise tum dono ko mere saamne formality krne ki zarurat nhi hai, mujhe Evan ne sab bta diya hai." Ritvik chuckled.
"In lakdo ke pet mei koi baat pachti kyu nhi hai?!" Tia murmured to herself.
The two exchanged pleasantries, both visibly pleased. As they talked, Vaani approached Tia with a concerned look.
“Tia, we need to get you ready for your special performance. Agastya forgot to arrange a room for us.”
Tia sighed and glanced at Vaani. “Old habit,” she said to herself, shaking her head.
Vaani quickly called Agastya. “Agastya, it’s Vaani. We need that room for Tia’s performance. She and I are waiting.”
“I’m so sorry, Vaani,” Agastya’s apologetic voice came through. “I completely forgot. I’ll take care of it right away.”
“Thanks, Agastya,” Vaani replied before ending the call. She turned back to Tia, who was clearly uneasy about the situation.
Later, as the evening progressed, Tia’s performance was announced. She took the stage in a stunning, royal dark red lehenga designed by Vaani. The dress, adorned with intricate beadwork and a flowing train, complemented the Ancient Royalty theme perfectly. Tia’s performance was a mesmerizing blend of dance and dramatic monologue, capturing the audience's attention with her grace and emotion.
Her dance began with a slow, elegant movement, her lehenga swirling around her like a flowing river. As the music swelled, Tia’s movements became more dynamic and expressive, conveying a story of love, loss, and triumph. Her dramatic monologue, delivered with powerful emotion, left the audience in awe. The performance ended with a dramatic flourish, and the crowd erupted in applause.
After the performance, Tia, Evan, and Ritvik were engaged in conversation when Agastya approached them from behind. He greeted them warmly with a hug.
“Good to see you all,” Agastya said cheerfully.
The group exchanged pleasantries, but Tia remained somewhat distant. Evan noticed her quiet demeanor and asked, “What’s wrong, Tia? You seem a bit off.”
Agastya, trying to ease the tension, added, “She must have zoned out. Old habit, you know?”
Tia gave a forced smile, clearly uncomfortable. Ritvik and Evan exchanged glances, sensing the awkwardness. Ritvik suggested,
“Maybe you two should talk things out.”
