The day of Akshita's haldi ceremony arrived, and her family's house was abuzz with excitement. Bright yellow marigolds hung from every doorway, the scent of turmeric and flowers filling the air. Women in colorful saris laughed and chattered, their bangles jingling as they prepared for the festive ritual. But amidst all the traditional preparations, Akshita's heart was racing with excitement—not just for the ceremony, but for the moment she'd share with her best friends.
She had invited her closest friends—those who had been by her side through thick and thin, the ones who knew her better than anyone. They arrived, all smiles, their excitement mirroring hers as they gathered in her room before the ceremony.
Sitting on a plush bedspread surrounded by her best friends, Akshita felt a mix of nerves and joy. The room was filled with laughter and the hum of old memories, but there was something important she wanted to share with them. As the sunlight filtered through the window, casting a warm glow over them, Akshita took a deep breath, knowing this was the moment.
One of her friends, Neha, always the curious one, spoke up first. "Akshita, you're glowing! Is it just the haldi or is there something else?" she teased, her eyes gleaming with suspicion.
The others laughed, nodding in agreement. "Yeah, come on! We need the full story before this ceremony kicks off!" said Meera, another close friend, leaning in eagerly.
Akshita smiled, her heart full as she looked at her friends, the people who had been there for her through every phase of life. "Okay, okay," she began, her voice soft but filled with emotion. "I've been wanting to tell you guys... It's Vedant."
The room fell quiet for a moment as her friends processed what she said. "Vedant? As in... the Vedant we've heard about before?" Priya, her oldest friend, asked, her eyebrows raised in surprise.
