The evening was nothing short of enchanting, with the warm glow of crystal chandeliers casting a magical spell over the grand party hall. The air was alive with the vibrant hum of conversation, the clinking of glasses, and the soft strains of music that seemed to match the beating of the heart. The room was full of colors, with guests dressed in their finest attires.

On the dance floor, The people of the day, Karan and Neha who was the new married couple were swaying to the music.

Around them, other couples danced with abandon, their laughter and smiles infectious.

As the music reached a end, the crowd erupted into cheers and applause, toasting the happy couple of the evening. Glasses were raised, and shouts of "Congratulations!" and "Best wishes!" filled the air.

Amidst the chaos, A man in his initial 30's. Aarav Chandrasekhar, the country's most sought-after model, stood tall, his presence commanding attention. His chiseled features, piercing eyes, and perfectly styled dark hair made him look like a Greek god.

As he raised his glass to cheer the happy couple, his gaze swept across the crowd with an intensity that made others take notice.

She stood with her hips attached to him, her arm brushing against his, and her head tilted up towards his ear. Her voice was a steady stream of chatter, her words tumbling out in a rush as she laughed and smiled up at him.

But Aarav's expression remained polite yet distant, his eyes glazing over as he nodded and smiled in all the right places. His attention was clearly elsewhere. The girl in black dress seemed oblivious to his distraction, her hand reaching out to touch his arm as she continued to talk.

Ananya : "Come on, Aarav, let's dance!" But Aarav rejected saying he is tried.

Ananya, however, was not taking no for an answer. She pulled him towards the dance floor, her smile sparkling with excitement. Aarav had no choice but to follow, his movements fluid as he joined the other dancers.
