The Wedding

As she and her friends approached, Karthik's gaze remained fixed on her. Two girls from her group veered off to chat with the DJ, while the others joined Karthik and his friends. 

"Are you guys from the groom's side?" one of her friends asked.

"Yes, we're best his friends," Athul replied.

 "Are you guys dancing today?"

 "No, he didn't mention anything about dancing," Karthik said.

The girls exchanged surprised glances. "Really?" they chimed in unison.

Karthik's friends nodded, unsure why the girls' eyes sparkled with excitement. By now, all the seats where filled. But boys still can't find their groom Rohan.

Just then, the DJ announced the start of the sangeet ceremony. The girls took the stage, their vibrant performances captivating the audience. Karthik, however, only saw her.

Her hands moved with grace, her hips swayed rhythmically, and her dark hair flowed like silk. Time stood still. When the girls finished dancing, she returned, breathing hard, with sweat droplets on her collarbone. Karthik couldn't tear his eyes away.

The DJ introduced the groom's side, and a new group of boys took the stage. girls eyes narrowed, her gaze flicking between Karthik and his friends. Her eyes looked like she is being betrayed , he somewhere felt bad seeing her eyes.

"You said you weren't dancing," she said, a hint of playful accusation.

"We're not," Karthik replied.

"Then who are they?" Ami asked.

"We don't know," Athul admitted.

One of her friends whisper shouted, "You don't know your own friends? they are from Shanker's side"

"Who's Shanker?" Anandh whispered back.

Her response sent shockwaves: "The groom."

Athul's whispered revelation followed: "The groom is Rohan."

The girls erupted into laughter, revealing the astonishing truth: two wedding functions were happening simultaneously – one on the beachside and another inside the building. Embarrassed, Karthik and his friends apologized and begged the girls to keep the mix-up confidential.

As the girls giggled and bid farewell, Karthik suddenly turned back to her, stood in-front of her, she took a step back .

"I'm Karthik," he said, his voice barely above a whisper.

"Ami," she replied, her voice soft.

"Can I see you tomorrow?" Karthik asked, surprising himself.

Ami's response stunned him: "Tomorrow's event starts at 10 am. We'll be here."

Karthik beamed, his friends and Ami's friends exchanging shocked glances by this sudden conversation between these total strangers. As Karthik rejoined his friends, they teased him mercilessly. He couldn't help sneaking glances back at Ami, who was doing the same.
