THE CULTURAL FEST

The morning of the fest:

Aisha stood in front of the mirror, carefully draping the black saree around her. The saree was elegant, adorned with delicate silver embroidery that shimmered under the light. She adjusted the pallu, ensuring it flowed perfectly over her shoulder. Her long, dark hair was styled in loose waves, cascading down her back. She applied a light touch of makeup, accentuating her already beautiful features. Aisha took a step back, admiring her reflection. She looked breathtaking.

Yeh saree mujhe thoda zyada hi acha lag raha hai, she thought to herself, a small smile playing on her lips.

Meanwhile, Yuvraj was in his room, getting ready for the fest. He slipped into a black kurta with intricate gold embroidery, pairing it with a matching churidar. His usually tousled hair was neatly styled, and a hint of cologne completed his look. He looked at himself in the mirror, smirking at his reflection.

Iss traditional attire mein toh main bilkul hero lag raha hoon, he thought, chuckling to himself.

As he was about to leave, his phone buzzed. It was a message from Aisha.

AISHA❤️

Ready for the fest?

YUVRAJ❤️

Always. Tum ready ho?

AISHA❤️

Aisha responded with a picture of herself in the saree. Yuvraj's breath caught in his throat.

YUVRAJ❤️

Meri lag rahi ho!

he typed back, completely stunned.

The college campus was abuzz with excitement. The cultural fest was in full swing, with students dressed in vibrant traditional attire, moving around the various stalls and performance stages. The air was filled with the sounds of laughter, music, and the aroma of delicious food.

Aisha entered the campus, immediately drawing attention. Heads turned, and whispers followed her as she walked. She spotted her friends near one of the food stalls and made her way towards them.

"Aisha, you look amazing!" Naina exclaimed.

"Thanks, Naina. You look pretty too" Aisha replied, smiling.

Just then, Yuvraj made his grand entrance. He walked with an air of confidence, his eyes scanning the crowd until they landed on Aisha. She looked up and their eyes met. For a moment, everything else faded away.

"Yuvraj, yaar, kitne handsome lag rahe ho!" one of his friends called out, breaking the spell.

Yuvraj grinned, his eyes never leaving Aisha. He walked over to her, a mischievous glint in his eye.

"So Aisha, ready to enjoy the fest?" he asked.

"Of course," she replied, rolling her eyes playfully. "Waise, tumhare kapde bhi kuch kam nahi lag rahe."

"Tumhare saamne toh main hamesha hi feeka pad jata hoon," he said, winking at her.

Aisha couldn't help but laugh. "Tum kabhi nahi sudhroge, Yuvraj."

˚‧｡⋆🌻⋆｡‧˚

The day was filled with a whirlwind of activities. There were traditional dance performances, singing competitions, and various other cultural events. Aisha and Yuvraj found themselves constantly in each other's company, their usual banter peppered with playful flirting.

"Yuvraj, tumhe yaad hai last year ki fest mein tumne kaise sabke saamne mujhe embarrass kiya tha?" Aisha asked, narrowing her eyes at him.

"Oh, I remember. Your expressions were worth seeing" he teased, laughing.

"Bahut funny ho tum, hahaha" she said, giving him a mock glare.

The day progressed with more performances and activities. As the sun began to set, the atmosphere grew more festive. Lights were strung up, casting a warm glow over the campus. A stage was set up for the evening performances, and students gathered around, eagerly waiting.

Aisha and Yuvraj found a spot near the front, their friends around them. The performances were mesmerizing, showcasing the rich cultural heritage of the country. As they watched, Aisha and Yuvraj couldn't help but steal glances at each other, the tension between them palpable.

˚‧｡⋆🌻⋆｡‧˚

As the final performance ended, the stage was cleared for the DJ. The music started, and students began to dance. Yuvraj looked at Aisha, his heart racing. He had been waiting for this moment all day.

"Aisha, will you dance with me?" he asked, extending his hand towards her.

Aisha looked at his outstretched hand, then back at his face. She could feel her heart pounding in her chest. "Okay" she said softly, placing her hand in his.

They moved to the center of the dance floor, the music enveloping them. As they started to dance, they couldn't take their eyes off each other. The world around them seemed to disappear, leaving just the two of them.

Yuvraj's hand rested on Aisha's waist, pulling her closer. She could feel the heat of his body, the strength in his grip. He looked into her eyes, his gaze intense.

"Aisha do you know how pretty your eyes are?" he whispered, his voice husky.

"Eww Mr.khadoos, tumhe hamesha yeh cheesy lines kaise yaad rehti hai?" she replied, trying to hide her smile.

"Lagta hai tumpe asar ho raha hai," he said, grinning.

As the music slowed, their movements became more fluid and more intimate. Yuvraj leaned in, his lips just inches from Aisha's ear.

"Aisha, I WANT TO KISS YOU!" he whispered, his voice trembling.

Aisha's breath hitched. She wanted to kiss him too, but the memory of their last kiss, which had ended in confusion and regret, held her back.

"Yuvraj, we can't," she said, pulling back slightly.

"Main wahi galti dobara nahi karunga, Aisha. This time I am asking for your permission" he said, his voice sincere.

Aisha looked into his eyes, seeing the honesty there. She wanted to say yes, but before she could respond, the music stopped. The moment was broken, and Aisha stepped back, her mind in turmoil.

"I need some air," she said, turning and walking away.

˚‧｡⋆🌻⋆｡‧˚

Aisha found herself in an empty classroom, the quiet starkly contrasted with the noise and excitement outside. She leaned against a desk, trying to calm her racing heart. She could still feel Yuvraj's hands on her, his breath on her skin.

Why does he affect me so much? she wondered, closing her eyes.

Suddenly, the door opened, and Yuvraj walked in. He closed the door behind him, his eyes locked on Aisha.

"Aisha, I can't control anymore" he said, his voice low and urgent. "Tell me the truth, do you feel the same way I feel for you?

Aisha looked away, her mind racing. "Yuvraj, please. It's complicated."

"Complicated kyun? Aisha, I like you, and I know you like me too," he said, stepping closer.

Aisha shook her head, her eyes filling with tears. "Nhi, Yuvraj, Humara kuch nahi ho sakta."

"you are lying" he said, taking her hands in his. "Aisha, tell me the truth"

Aisha felt her resolve crumbling. She looked into his eyes, seeing the intensity of his feelings. She couldn't deny it any longer.

"Fine, maybe I feel the same for you," she whispered.

Yuvraj's eyes lit up with joy. His lips captured hers in a fierce kiss. It was unexpected, passionate, and filled with years of unspoken words and hidden emotions. Aisha's eyes flew open in shock, but she found herself responding, her hands reaching up to grasp his shirt.

The kiss deepened, becoming more urgent and desperate. Aisha's mind was a whirlwind with desire. She had always considered Yuvraj her frenemy, someone who infuriated her to no end. But this... this was something entirely different.

Finally, they broke apart, both of them breathing heavily. Yuvraj rested his forehead against hers, his eyes closed.

She looked into his eyes, searching for answers. And in that moment, she realized that he was right. There was something between them, something powerful and undeniable.

"Now what?" she asked, her voice barely above a whisper.

Yuvraj smiled a genuine smile that made her heart skip a beat. "Now... Let's see where this takes us" he said, his thumb gently caressing her hand.

Aisha nodded, a small smile playing on her lips. "Theek hai, Mr. Khadoos. Let's see where this goes."

With that, he pulled her into another kiss, this one softer, more tender. And as they stood there, wrapped in each other's arms, Aisha realized that maybe, just maybe, this was the start of something beautiful.
