Ahana's POV:

(Making a floral rangoli for the evening wedding)

Today is Kisha's wedding. We are so happy that finally Kisha is getting married to Ronit Bhai...

Rony Bhai and Kisha have been in a relationship for years and it feels so good to see relationships end up in beautiful marriages...

I wanted to attend the function yesterday itself, but my profession is pretty complicated. I am a software engineer. Currently working in Bangalore and as Everyone knows engineers that too working in Bangalore never get leaves.

I am a team lead for my company's web development team. I have been craving leaves for last 8 months inspite of continuous requests my leaves were never granted and I was fed up. So finally I decided to move on.

Also I was tired of handling same kind of work so this time I chose an interesting opportunity. Luckily I was offered a good sum too so I finally chose it. Although mom dad wanted me to take up the Mysore offer as Mysore is home. But I didn't take it up. Come on this company looked much more flexible and they are one of biggest firms in India.

And now Ishu has also shifted back from Mumbai to Bangalore. I and Ishu will together look for a house in Bangalore. Although she is still to choose amongst her opportunities I hope she chooses the one which makes sure we work in same building. I was super excited 😍

Finally after 6 years Ishu and I will be together although now mom dad have started a new drama called my marriage 🤦

I know I know...I'm 26. It's the 'perfect' age according to 'society standards' or I don't know if I have passed the eligible age 🤔🙄 Although I'm least bothered.

My mad family gets a sample piece everytime for me😂😂😂

I still remember most of them...

That guy who was asking me to dance 😂

Or that guy who was insecure that I earn more than him😋

Or oh ya... That one who believed I must use fairness creams to glow🤦

Like I have met all kinds of sample pieces ☺️

And I REJECTED THEM 😬

I have absolutely no regrets on my decision.

But my mad family got me a new one...

Looks like this is a 'Richhhh family' 🤦

My family I tell you they've got me all kinds of zoo animals 😅

This time it's an imported one. Looks like the guy is a Harvard Graduate and now looking after family business.

Well that's all I know about him I will probably meet him tomorrow. I so wish my family ever understood I am not waiting for any rich bigshot or Prince charming. I am looking for someone who could simply understand my unsaid emotions ❤️

But I haven't met anyone like that yet!!!

Hmmm.... If I have to say in Ishaani's Language...

I'm looking for my 'Gabru Munda' 😂😂😂

Oh..by the way where is this Ishaani ...

I haven't seen her since last 2 hours.

Let me dial her...

(Exactly that time her phone started ringing.... Wooow... telepathy 😋

It read

Ishu Calling...)

A: 'Where are you???'

I: 'Di.... Sorry I'm not getting it right... Still practicing!!!'

A:'Ishu.... Wedding rituals will begin in an hour'

I: 'Di... Comeon... I'm just in the backyard guest house... Big deal... And I can see you drawing the rangoli from here... also these decorators are still doing the lantern decorations... Come on Di there's enough time. And you know how I practice na...'

A:' Exactly... that's what scares me... Your stupid blind fold practice... will scare the hell out of me someday... you know there are unknown men around you...you hardly know people here... just be careful...'

I:' Diiii.... I have locked the door yaar... I will finish my practice soon... Kisha Di taught me dancing... both Kathak and contemporary... what's the use if her favorite student doesn't perform at her wedding'

A:'You are impossible to argue with Ishu... Just make sure you come and dress up soon... I have kept your clothes in Kisha's room... take a bath and join us soon...and ha...from back door...if mummy finds out you are still practicing I am going to hear enough from her...I already lied to her that you are in Kisha's room.

I: Diiii... You rock 😘 Sure thing.

Phone call ended...

This girl I don't know when she will grow up 🤣 For everyone she is

'The Ishani Sharma - Youngest Award winning designer in India'

Who has now quit her current organization to move on. But I wonder how will anyone react looking at my crazy Ishu. Although being s nutcase my Ishu is a responsible baby. She didn't bother mom-dad and made sure she did her studies with scholarship. She always knew about our middle class life and was never a demanding child.

I am proud of her ❤️

Author's POV:

(Soon there was a voice calling her from behind...she turned around..it was her Daadi...Veena Sharma)

D: Ahana Beta ...see I want you to meet my childhood friend turned foe and in old age for turned friend. She is Saudamini.

Ahana folded her hands to Saudamini with respect.

Saudamini looked at Veena and whispered something in her ears ...

Ahana didn't bother much thinking it's the elderly people's talk...

Soon Saudamini called out her grandson...

A well dressed handsome Dhruv came and stood next to Saudamini...

'Beta...that's my grandson...Dhruv...'

Ahana looked at him and smiled...

While Dhruv looked at her with a twinkle in his eyes and offered a handshake...

'Dhruv ....'

'Ummmmm.... Ahana'

But looks like Dhruv wasn't in any mood to let her hands go.. she looked at him confusingly...

Soon Saudamini coughed!!!

And Dhruv quickly let off her hand go...

Post that Dhruv had a stupid grin on bid face the entire evening 😬

Just then Saudamini patted Dhruv's shoulder asking him where is Dev...

'Oh... Let me dial bhai...' he said...

Just then they noticed Dev step in to the party while still on a phone call.

'Come on Bhai... Stop your business here... Have you met Rony yet'

While Dev pointed a index finger at Dhruv saying... He needs few minutes...

Both Saudamini and Dhruv looked at each other and nodded their heads and slammed their head in unison 🤦

Dev's POV:

(Walking towards backyard as he wasn't able to hear anything due to the loud music in the wedding hall...)

Soon I heard people panicking and running here and there ...

There was a fire breakout in the guest house...

I saw people throwing out buckets of water to put off the fire 🔥🔥🔥

While I saw few ladies call the fire brigade...

The folks decorating the backyard were been rescued by surrounding people...I helped a few of them to get out of the lawn that was burning into flames of fire with help of my blazer...

I saw people running around...

I saw an old lady faint and a girl holding her and crying loudly...

'Help someone please...'

Soon I took a few drops of water from the bucket they used to put off thr fire and sprinkled on the lady's face... Slowly she came back to concious...

The old lady only said....

'Ishu.... Ishu ... Ahana....our Ishu...'

Probably the girl's name was Ahana...

But who is this Ishu???

Soon I tried consoling the old lady saying...

'Daadi... please...you are ok...'

Soon she looked at my face and the guest house behind me and she started pointing towards it saying...

'Ishu.... someone please save my Ishu....'

While the girl....ummm...ya.... Ahana was crying badly while trying to run to the guest house...

It's burning like pyre... I quickly caught hold off her...

'Hey... Hey please... It's dangerous are you crazy....Stay here' I screamed...

'My sister is inside... I need to save her'

And she starred going towards the fire...

I stopped her saying...

'No...no please....I'll check on her... You you stay...'

And I quickly jumped off the backyard lawn that was burning in orange flames...

***

Soon I was inside....I could literally see roofs burning into orange flames and pieces of the roof falling down on floor...

I need to rush this girl out...

Whoever she is...

Before it gets any worse...

Fire was burning the huge red curtains into ashes and now the fire reached the furniture...

I dodged everything with help of my blazer and went around the hall calling...

'Hello....Miss Ishu....are you there???'

I didn't get any response..

What if fire consumed her??? I thought...

Soon I broke most doors and one last door opening on the backside of thr backyard was left probably..

There was very loud music heard in that room...

It was probably the last room in this huge guest house...

I kicked open the room door...

It looked like a huge auditorium kind of a room...

Probably sound proof!!

Music was literally at its loudest...

Song was playing loud...

Laaiyaan chhad ke kitthe challa hai...🎵

Baseya na ye pyar muhalla hai...🎶

Andar kuch te tutt ke gireya hai...🎵

Naiiiiinaaaaa…🎶 bhar aaye🎵

Mann vich halla halla halla hai🎶🎵

Pyar tu kalla kalla kalla hai🎵🎶

Naam muhabbat da koi na mallah hai🎵

Daaman na koi aas na palla hai🎵🎶

Mann vich halla halla halla hai🎵

Pyar tu kalla kalla kalla hai🎵🎶

Ishqe lafz da🎵

Ei tutt ke gireya lafz da🎶
Ei tutt ke gireya lafz da🎶
Ei tutt ke gireya hai 🎵

Ay ishqey!🎶
Ay ishqey!🎶

Soon I could hear some anklet sound...

I called out this time softly...

'Miss Ishu???'

And next I noticed a figure in dark...

She was???

Dancing???? 😕

With a white long skirt and a crop top uncovering her midriff....

She was swaying her hips like she had no bones...

She faced the other side...I could only notice her back...

Her perfectly swinging milky white waist was literally making my heart beat faster...

I forgot everything and saw her move like a goddess...

Mann Vicch Halla Halla Halla he....🎶🎵

These lines perfectly matched my mind-set right now!!!

I could never imagine someone dancing here while there is a fire breakout!!!

That too this hour glass figure!!

Her waist swing, her chest arching, she pointed fingers of her legs and hands everything moving together like the goddess terpsichore was performing live infront of me🔥🔥🔥

Soon I noticed the fire was burning the curtains here too spreading like a mad fire!!!

And that's when I noticed her face!!!

She had doll like skin!!! And a thousand watt smile!!! With a dimple on her left chin!!!

She was thoroughly enjoying her dance🔥

So was I 🔥

While I was enjoying look at this sexy Greek goddess!!!

Performing live🔥🔥🔥

I felt a wierd kind of heat in my body...🔥

Soon I noticed she was

She was blindfolded???

Who dances blind folded!!!

But next...

I forgot the rest!!!

She danced like a peacock did in rainy season!!!

Everything around us was burning into piles of ashes!!!

But I somehow couldn't take off my eyes off her hourglass figure!!!

Soon I noticed a wooden piece burning with high intensity was about to fall on her!!

I quickly pulled her...

My hands grabbed her by her waist...

And I heard her go....'Huhhhh'

Soon she landed in my arms while next minute I saw her pull out the blind fold...

Our eyes met.... Her pitch black eyes met my brown orbs!!!

I have no idea why was I looking into them like a hypnotic!!!

But I ....was!!! Just... Looking!!!

Without blinking!!!

And the song played.....

Berang shaam de saaye ne🎵
Chott karan nu aaye ne🎶
Ulfat de rang udd gaye ne🎵
Saare nazaare chidh gaye ne 🎵

Mann vich halla halla halla hai🎵🎶
Pyar tu kalla kalla kalla hai🎵🎶
Aaaa...

Mann vich halla halla halla hai🎵🎶
Pyar tu kalla kalla kalla hai🎵🎶

Song stopped!!!

We could only hear crackling sound of fire everywhere 🔥🔥🔥

Indeed there was  Fire everywhere 🔥🔥🔥
