Sukh's POV:

Conch shell echoed,
Drum beats increased their pace,
Incense sticks filled the pandal space with their smoke as Asthami puja( eighth day) took place

Men and women dressed in their traditional attire started grooving with Dhunuchis(big earthen lamps) in each hand. Each and every one was in a joyous trance. Loud giggles and Addas( discussion) could be disctinctly heard. Truly the vibe could make any Spectator awestruck.
It looked like as if these people wanted to enjoy as much  possible in these four days.
As if their pause button was unavailable!

Being a Bengali I have witnessed each and every occasion in the same manner but Pujas were more important, so people and their mind flooded with more enthusiasm ;)

I still remember day in my childhood when I had asked my father to take us on a trip to Darjeeling on Puja vacations.
Just as the words left my mouth my Maa at a speed of Rajnikant(South's Superstar) turned her head and gave me a look as if I had asked her  property plus her kidneys plus her Rossogolla(sweet) she was trying to gobble at that moment. While my father just remarked "tch tch" mind you, he also kept  the exact expression as maa.

At that moment I had an sudden urge to bury myself deep so I retreated and just as I  turned my back my ears catched them discussing "This is the situation of youth? Comparing a petty trip with our Dugga(Durga) maa's puja ! Our country's future is in trouble!"

Seriously Country's future! What has it do with my travel mood?Ugghh!! I preferred to let it go!

As years passed I found Puja more fun. Well not to forget the reason-new clothes, lots of them.
The time of the year when you find all your relatives humble and deserving to be a part of your family and disown them just the moment they speak up about your marks and career.

Yep that was Durga Puja for me!

Well our society organised many cultural programmes including dance, music and art competition. Bengali and their closeness to culture is like pen and refill both are incomplete without each other.
And gladly I always won the first position in Dance Challange. This year I had already decided the song for my performance. A classic Rabindric (Rabindranath Tagore's composition) song.

As always I tried to push my practice to the day before the competition but this year my mind didn't allow me to do so. I kept on feeling that this dance need to be special. Couldn't stop the urge!! Ugghh.

Just then I saw Adi, oh wait no! Adi nah weirdo. He looked handsome as always. 
Wait! What?

Sukhhh!! I mentally slapped myself. Now and again I would see Aa.. no Weirdo mirage.

This all started after the chathurti indicident. That stupid Abhijit , Mr Ghosh's son wanted me to have a one night stand with him. Thinking puja a good opportunity he tried to blackmail me with those Photoshoped pics.

I don't know why.....
Why the heck did he help me?

"But Sukh it was important naa!" My now crazy mind spoke up

OK but why did he hug me?
"Don't lie! Even you wanted to.."

Alright maybe I liked it a bit but he should have stopped first. I'm a girl and I'm meant to be delicate. A smirk appeared on my lips.

"Awww " my mind called up. I alternatively disconnected the call so that I can take another call! No, I mean talk with AAA.. no Weirdo.

I could feel a change in my way, it was new something different or was it the aftereffects.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Aditya's P.O.V:

Jealous and disgusted looks that's what  I used to give seeing those couples and their lovey dovey actions but satirically i couldn't manage to maintain even a frown today😏 
Well the reason was obvious, Sukh's divinely fragrance still lingered in my nose!!

The night turned for me "The Night"!

Maybe I should approach her!
Yeah and get a palm tattoo on your cheeks! my antilove  mind spoke up.

What about coffee?
Yeah coffee stains are in trend! Now he had a smirk.

Umm...
let's settle on smile then?
Yeah I know smile can do wonders or in your case can lead to murder! Now he chuckled.

As I was wondering what to do I saw Sukh coming towards me. At that moment I seriously wanted to avoid her as she looked enchanting as always.

Special mention to her green salwar and her sweat beads made her look so hot!

Control Adi control! I saw her smile and say something but at that moment I was stunned by her beauty that whatever she spoke sounded like violins playing.

Wait what? Violin? I need to stop watching Praveen's Bollywood collections.

But I need to respond right so I nodded and never realized that I have agreed to witness society's cultural programme today.

Oh wow! My indulgence with culture. Surely next day's headline must be

Breaking news :yesterday a remarkable incident took place when a creature named  Aditya Malhotra was found enjoyed a cultural event.

Hehee! Really woww..

Owwww  oh damn! Fool! Stupid me! I  face palmed myself.

Praveen was always right when he preached me "Never be too much happy as too much of anything is dangerous."

This fact testified and qualified as I remembered my target consignment which I seriously needed to complete. My manager had specially arranged for my bonus and for that 100 plus calls were necessary.
But Sukh?

My brain started to realize what trap I was falling into! No I must be focused. Adi this is just the beginning only the aftereffects.
