At night

The night was buzzing with excitement. The guests had gathered again after the music ceremony, and this time, the air was lighter, filled with anticipation for the dance.

Nishita stood by the corner, smiling at her friends. Shantanu and Mahi had already taken the floor, their movements synchronized as the Bollywood beats filled the space. Kavya and Jackson were dancing too, lost in their own world. It was a celebration, and everyone was letting loose.

But Nishita hadn’t stepped onto the floor yet, and she could feel Jungkook’s eyes on her from across the room. His presence was hard to ignore, especially after everything between them, but she didn’t plan on making it easy for him.

Suddenly, the DJ switched tracks. The beat of a famous K-pop song filled the air, catching the attention of all the guests. The BTS members instantly joined in, their sharp moves electrifying the dance floor. Jungkook led them with precision, and the crowd cheered as they effortlessly executed their choreography. Nishita couldn’t help but admire his fluidity, but she quickly caught herself and turned away, her expression unreadable.

As the song ended, a Bollywood classic took over. The familiar tune of "Ghungroo" played, and the crowd shifted into a more relaxed, fun atmosphere. Shantanu twirled Mahi around, while Kavya and Jackson pulled others into the mix. Everyone was laughing and dancing, but Nishita still hesitated.

That’s when Kavya rushed over and grabbed her hand. “You have to show them why you’re the Garba Empress!” she said with a wink. Nishita grinned, knowing exactly what was coming.

The music changed once again, and the beats of Dandiya Raas echoed across the room. Nishita’s eyes sparkled as she picked up a pair of dandiya sticks, feeling the familiar rhythm pulse through her. The room erupted in cheers as she took her place in the center of the floor, her movements precise yet graceful, her strength and stamina unmatched.

Her dandiya moves were flawless, sharp, and confident. She twirled, leaped, and moved with the energy of someone completely in tune with the music. The crowd formed a circle around her, clapping to the beat. Shantanu and Mahi joined in, their sticks clashing in sync with hers, creating a mesmerizing display of movement.

Jungkook watched from the sidelines, his heart pounding. She was radiant—confident, strong, and untouchable. For a moment, he felt a pang of regret, wondering how he had ever let her slip away.

But then, as the tempo shifted to a Garba beat, he felt compelled to join her. The beat of the Dakla reverberated, and the tempo intensified. Jungkook picked up a pair of sticks, and without a word, stepped into the circle. The crowd cheered even louder.
