The Party

The place looked lively with a lot of lamps hung on the trees; youngsters chattering around, holding a glass of wine or snack in her hands. There were groups of boys and girls sitting around a huge campfire set up in the middle of the forest. 

Rutuja's eyes fell on the one playing the guitar. He wore a black shirt and jeans which made him look fair than he already was. He had styled his hair into spikes; his thin lips curled into a smile as his friends clapped and cheered for him.

"Oh! Look at him. He's there," said Rutuja pointing at a boy. 

Drishika followed her gaze. "Leave it, he's out of my league," she said and looked at the ground. Rutuja waved at him. He handed his guitar to one of his friends and walked towards them. "Hi! I thought you wouldn't come," he said. Drishika smiled at him. "Of course we had to," beamed Rutuja. "Right, Drish?"

"Ya-yeah, right," stammered Drishika and rubbed her hands as the cold breeze swept her hair across her face. "O, no, it's okay," she said as he removed his jacket and gave it to her. "Wear it," he said. "It's cold."

Rutuja stared at him. Drishika hesitantly took his jacket and wore it. "Thanks," she said. "O! Rishi, that's so sweet of you," said Rutuja and looked at Drishika. Rishi smiled and nodded his head, "Come, let's join the others."

There were stalls all around the place. Stalls of eatables, jewelry, accessories, and so on.

Drishika stopped and smiled as her eyes fell on a stall to their right. She nudged Rutuja. "Look," she said. Rishi followed her gaze. "Magical Adventure," read Rutuja. "I knew you would like that," said Rishi and smiled. "Let's go," said Rutuja dragging Drishika to the stall. Rishi followed.

It was more like a huge white tent. A wooden table covered with white cloth was placed in the corner. Seven large glass bowls were kept on it. Each had a different color.

"Welcome," said a timid, old woman. She wore a white blouse and a knee-length skirt. She had covered her hair with a yellow cloth; it seemed like a cap.

"Choose one, and begin an adventure."
