I woke up to the sound of my alarm blaring in my ear. It was 5:30 AM, time for my morning workout. I got out of bed and began my routine, pushing myself to the limit as I always did.

After a quick shower, I got dressed in my formal attire, ready to tackle another day at the office. My PA, Rakshit was already waiting for me with my schedule for the day.

"Good morning, sir. You have a packed day today," he said, handing me a cup of coffee.

I nodded, taking a sip of the hot black coffee. "Let's get started then."

The day flew by in a blur of meetings and conference calls. I was so caught up in work that I almost forgot about the anniversary celebration of St. Xavier's College, my alma mater.

"Sir, don't forget about the college anniversary celebration this evening," Rakshit reminded me as I was packing up to leave.

I nodded, making a mental note to attend as my Grandfather along with his few close friends started this college.so as his Grandson it's my responsibility to attend this as he can't now.

I arrived at the college in the evening,the principal gave a speech on the college history, their future plans and etc. After his speech he called me at the stage and after greetings he told me to give the students a speech on my journey of being a young business typhoon. As I was about to take the stage to give my speech, my eyes scanned the crowd. That's when I saw her - a beautiful girl in a white Anarkali suit, sitting in the front row.

Our eyes met for a brief moment, and I felt a jolt of electricity run through my body. I pushed the feeling aside and began my speech.After my speech the program started.

The first dance was her and  with her a girl was also dancing I think that's her friend.But when  she took the stage to perform the dance  with her friend. I was captivated by her grace and beauty, my eyes fixed on her throughout the performance I don't know why but I can't Move my eyes from her.

After her dance she bowed and she looks tired from the dance as her chest moving up and down as she take breaths .Then she quickly moves towards the backstage as if she felt my eyes on her and wanted to avoid me but don't like that as I wanted to look at her for some more time.

After that I couldn't see her. After the function. I left the college and headed home, my mind kept wandering back to her. Who was she? And why did I feel like I had seen her before?

As I sat down for dinner with my family, my mother brought up the topic of marriage. "Vidyut, you're not getting any younger. It's time you thought about settling down.If you have a girl in your mind then tell me or else I will find a girl for you"

Hearing her words I don't know why but that white Anarkali girl's face came across my mind .

Then ignoring this thought I told my mom - "Mom, don't be so much worry about my marriage and I don't have any girl in my life right now but you want I can get married to girl you choose "
