It was Sara's mehendi ceremony, and the excitement filled the air as she stood in front of her mirror, admiring her reflection. The delicate shades of lime green and light turquoise in her lehenga created a soft ombre that blended perfectly with the joyous occasion. The lehenga's gathered skirt swayed gently as she moved, making her look graceful and ethereal. The blouse, embroidered with intricate sequin work, added just the right amount of sparkle without overwhelming her elegant appearance.
Her dupatta, draped effortlessly over her shoulders, shimmered with its mirror-work border, catching the light with every slight movement. Sara had chosen to keep her jewelry minimal, wearing only golden jhumkas and a few simple bangles, allowing the vibrant hues of her outfit to shine.
As she took a deep breath, she could hear the sounds of laughter and music from the courtyard, where her family and friends were gathered. Aditi, her best friend, came up behind her, smiling warmly. "You look like a dream, Sara. Absolutely stunning."
"Thanks, Aditi," Sara said, feeling a mix of nervousness and excitement. "I can't believe this is happening."
Aditi chuckled. "You better believe it. You're getting married in a few days! Now come on, let's get your mehendi done."
Sara made her way to the seating area, where the mehendi artist was waiting. She sat down as the intricate designs began to swirl across her hands. The scent of henna filled the air, and the lively chatter of her friends and family kept her entertained as she watched the beautiful patterns emerge on her skin.
Meanwhile, Shubman arrived, his eyes scanning the crowd, searching for Sara. He finally caught sight of her, sitting gracefully while her hands were being adorned with mehendi. His heart skipped a beat at how radiant she looked in the soft hues of her lehenga, her face glowing with happiness.
As he approached, Shahneel spotted him first. With a mischievous grin, she called out, "Shubman! You know what you have to do now, right? Find your name in Sara's mehendi!"
Shubman rolled his eyes playfully but walked over to Sara, who was smiling at him, her eyes sparkling with warmth. "You really think you'll find it that easily?" Sara teased, holding up her hands as the mehendi artist finished.
