Aunt 1 ( godd you are looking too preety well good job kartik to bring a preety daughter in law for usha as well your wife also😂😂)

Aunt 1( well today's men always choose too much younger girl for themselves)

Aunt 2( yess but they are looking good no matter how much younger they're..)

After sometime usha announced to dance kartik and shambhavi...

They are nervous...

The room is buzzing with excitement after Usha's announcement, and all eyes are on Kartik and Shambhavi.
The couple stands frozen for a moment, both feeling an intense mix of nervousness and tension.
Kartik, always so composed, suddenly feels unsure, while Shambhavi's heart is pounding.
Shambhavi (thinking, panicked): Oh no... dancing in front of everyone? I can barely handle standing next to him.
Kartik, sensing her nervousness, looks down at her. His usual confident demeanor cracks just a little. He can feel the weight of everyone's expectations, especially with the teasing remarks from the aunts still hanging in the air.
Kartik (quietly, leaning towards her): "We have no choice. Let's just get through this, okay?
"Shambhavi nods, but her palms are already sweaty, her body still reacting to the earlier closeness.
Kartik steps forward first, offering his hand. She hesitates, but then places her hand in his, feeling a strange rush of warmth as their skin touches.They walk together toward the center of the room where a small space has been cleared for the dance.
The guests are eagerly watching, some with amusement, others with admiration. The soft music starts playing, and Kartik gently pulls Shambhavi closer, placing one hand on her waist. This time, the closeness feels even more intense.
Shambhavi looks up at him, her heart racing. Kartik meets her gaze, and for a second, it's like the world around them disappears. But then the reality of the situation snaps them back, and they both focus on the steps, moving awkwardly at first.
Shambhavi (thinking): What is this feeling? Why am I so... aware of him?Kartik's grip on her waist tightens slightly as they find their rhythm. He's trying to keep his mind on the dance, but he can't help but notice how her body fits perfectly against his. His mind is spinning with unfamiliar thoughts-why does this feel different? Why is he suddenly so aware of every little detail about her?
Kartik (thinking): Why do I feel this... connection?The music picks up a little, and they move more fluidly now, their bodies falling into sync despite the initial awkwardness.
Shambhavi's heart is still racing, but now it's not just from nervousness-it's from something else, something she doesn't quite understand.
Shambhavi (thinking, flustered): Why does his touch feel like this?As they dance, Kartik finds himself relaxing, though his thoughts are still in turmoil. He can feel the tension in her body but also something softer, something that pulls him in. He's never really thought about Shambhavi beyond their arranged marriage, but now... something has changed.The guests watch them with approval, clapping along to the music, but Kartik and Shambhavi are barely aware of them anymore. It's like the space between them has shifted. There's still tension, but now it's mixed with something deeper.
Aunt 1 (whispering to Aunt 2): "Look at them-so in tune with each other now.

"Aunt 2 (smiling): "It's almost like they're falling in love right before our eyes."The music begins to slow, signaling the end of the dance. Kartik and Shambhavi are still locked in each other's gaze, their movements slowing along with the melody.
As the last notes play, Kartik realizes his hand is still on her waist, and he reluctantly pulls back, stepping away just slightly.
Kartik (softly, almost awkwardly): "Well... that wasn't so bad."Shambhavi, still caught up in the moment, nods but doesn't trust herself to speak. Her body is buzzing with something she's never felt before, and she can't understand why. Kartik notices her flushed face and is hit with a wave of emotions-some protective, some possessive, and some... something else entirely.
Kartik (thinking): What is happening to me?As the applause from the guests fills the room, Shambhavi and Kartik step away from the center. But even as they try to rejoin the crowd, the connection between them lingers, stronger than either of them would like to admit.

Later, after the event, Shambhavi sneaks away to the balcony, needing air. She leans on the railing, trying to calm her racing heart.
Shambhavi (thinking): Why did his touch make me feel like that? This was supposed to be an arrangement... nothing more. So why do I feel... this?As if on cue, Kartik appears, looking equally lost in thought. He spots her and pauses, but then, without a word, walks over to stand beside her.
There's a long silence as they both look out into the night, neither knowing how to address what they're feeling.

Kartik (quietly, almost to himself): "I don't know why... but being close to you today felt... different.
"Shambhavi glances at him, her pulse quickening again. His words mirror her own thoughts, and the tension that had built up during the dance returns, but this time, it's not just awkwardness. There's something more.
Shambhavi (softly): "Yeah... me too."They stand there in silence, side by side, the night air cool against their skin. Neither of them knows where this sudden shift will lead, but both of them feel it-that undeniable pull that's changing everything.
