I was so excited for the Navratri event that was going to take place in my colony.
Those lights, those decorations…..the colors and the clothes…..the smiles and the dance steps….
Gosh I so loved the Navratri function. I couldn’t wait to get ready and shine for the night so I somehow made myself fall asleep.
And the following day went by me trying to figure out the accessories and the makeup shades to go with my lehenga. And oh yeah hairstyles.
I settled for an oxidised statement necklace with oxidised jhumkas and smokey makeup. I tied my hair up in a loose bun and leave out two curly bangs that lightly touch my shoulders.
While I passed my cousin’s bedroom he whistles at me and I made a funny face at him, joint family problems.
My younger sister complimented me for my glowy, exposed back shining off from the choli and the curve of my lower back that makes me look million times prettier.
I took a final look at myself in the mirror and I could not wait to go out there, because I totally looked what you would call, dressed to kill.
It was almost 7 and I asked my younger sis to hurry up. She’s the typical girl who takes a lot of time to get ready.
I was looking forward to the glitz and glamour ambience. Unlike me, my sister Aparna was going on a hunt for cute guys, I just wanted to be there. And enjoy that moment.
Aparna was wearing a really low cut choli with a plunging neckline. Her boobs were popping out of her choli.
Her ghagra hung low on her waist exposing her entire back, unlike me she is tall and pretty slim so her waist is a long one. I am more on the curvy side.
Aparna’s lehenga was sweeping the floor and her dupatta was not really covering her cleavage even after reminding her so many times.
We reach the venue and I started searching for my friends. The place was lit just I had expected it to be. My excitement level just shot up.
While I got busy chatting and dancing with my friends, I spot Aparna dancing with a strange group of people. It had girls as well so I didn’t pay that much attention.
Slowly Aparna’a group started mixing with our group and we found ourselves in a large circle of people dancing to the same beat.
As the dance proceeded, Aparna was dangerously close to a really tall, handsome guy who didn’t seem to be paying attention to Aparna. He was busy dancing which he was really good at.
Aparna was at the other end of the circle exactly opposite to me. She kept giving him that glances and I could see him smile. Aparna couldn’t stop looking at him.
In a few moments, I saw Aparna accidentally clash her body with the guy’s body in the name of a mistook step.
And yes I guessed it, exposing all of her cleavage for him to have a good look at it.
But he said “Sorry”, and gave her back her fallen dupatta.
It was around ten, night was ripe with festive….it was the peak of the night….everyone dancing with full on energy.
I was having the time of my life dancing to Nagada.
After some time, I started breathing heavily because I felt my legs gave up even though my spirit didn’t. I excused myself from the group and stand at a distance from where I could shoot Aparna and her dhinchak steps.
I hold my phone up high and tried recording into the blurriness of so many people. Few minutes into the recording I felt someone next to me.
I look at the side and remember the same guy who Aparna was smiling at.
He looked at me with a gentle, warm look. He wasn’t smiling but his expression was soft and nice.
I was the first one to speak up, over the loud music.
“Ain’t you the same guy who was hitting on my sister”?
He smirks and replied,
“Don’t you think you should say, ain’t you the same guy my sister was hitting on?” he said.
I laughed a little at that because it was true.
