Aishwani

AFTER THE PUJA ENDED.

"Veer, Aditya, Pandit ji also has good news for us.", Maya smiled looking at both of her sons.

Veer and Aditya hummed waiting to hear more.

"Pandit ji said that if you both marry two girls who are born on August on same day, then there will be no problem.", Maya beamed.

Aditya raised his eyebrows, trying to recall when Devanshi's birthday was. It was on August, if he remembered correctly. August! His face beamed since his girlfriend was born on August.

"Hmm, Okay Mom. Do what you want to as long as it doesn't interfere with my business.", Veer responds.

"This is your business, Sonn", laughedd Harsh and patted Veer's shoulders. It was funny to him, how his son was so nonchalant about marriage and didn't seem to care at all. Maybe he had been too strict on his upbringing. Harsh had been a strict father. He had also warned both of his sons to be career focused and not get into the affairs of some women or girls since they were children. But now he sort of regretted it.

In the car, as they drove back home, Maya and Harsh were on another car and Aditya and Veer on another one.

"Devanshi's birthday is on August! Yes!", Aditya shouted happily, like an excited joyful child. Veer rather seemed pissed off.

"I'll tape your mouth if you say this one more time.", He warned because he was clearly annoyed since this was the 8th time Aditya had repeated that.

"And besides, How are you going to get a girl who is born on August on the very same day as your girlfriend.", questioned Veer while driving.

Aditya went silent for some minutes, well that was a problem, but he also knew that it wasn't impossible. "Well, Let's say, if it's meant to be, it will be."

Veer rolled his eyes. "Now you're talking like that Pandit.", he scoffed.

Aditya laughed hearing Veer.

Veer turned the wheel to the parking lot of a beautiful old architecture vawan.

Both of them got off the car and walking inside.

...********THE SINGHANIA DANCE HALL********...

This was the hall where everybody would get lost in dancing. Maya Singhania, Veer and Aditya's mother opened this dance institution 15 years ago and now it was the best and most popular dancing institution. The essence of this hall was the warm, bright sun rays and the sound of birds and the air and the laughter and giggles of the beauties who came to dance and most of all, it was the dance itself.

Veer took off his glasses and walked inside, to the other ide of the hall where a meeting was going on.

"Good Morning, Mr Veer.", All of them greeted. Veer nodded his head as a response and walked to the huge chair that was in the middle of the table, indicating his high position and power.

"The dance institution has gained 40% more profit this year compared to last year.", One of the members spoke while presenting the graph and bars. Everybody in the meeting attentively heard him.

"As usual, our yearly dance competition is going to gather more profit and commotion. That will boost the publicity of our institution. However this year, what if we try something new?",The man paused, take a look at all the faces that stared at him attentively.

"What plan do you have then?", asked Veer.

"Well, sir, This plan was proposed by a girl in our institution. She is one of the best dancers here. The institution could take the festival responsibility this year. Thousands of people come to the festival and we could be the one initiating it. Then, the dance will be performed as a cultural display.",The man spoke and looked at everyone nervously.

"Mr Raj, Do you know what you're talking about?",Veer broke the silence. His tone was cold and commanding.

Mr Raj nervously laughed to ease the tension, however that clearly didn't help.

"Mr Raj, The proposal is good but this is risky. This dance institution ìs still growing. The festival is the time where everybody gathers but then there is danger too. Last year, there were so many murder cases during the festival celebration. Our institution's name will be blackened if anything such as that happens and people will question the integrity of the institution.", One of the members commented and Veer nodded his head in agreement.

"Mr Raj, The majority of board members do not seem to be in your favour. The proposal shall be dismissed.",said Veer and stood up. Everybody greeted and the meeting was disassembled.

Mr Raj was about to leave when Veer stopped him. "Mr Raj, I'd like to know who was that girl who suggested that proposal to you,"

Mr Raj nervously looked at Veer. "Well, Sir, She is on the main hall. You'll meet her there.",

And with that Mr Raj left.

Veer walked towards the main dance hall, he could hear the sound of anklets (payal) faintly. It was soft, like a small bell, in a rhythm that provided a certain kind of bliss to his ears.

The sound started becoming clearer as he approached main hall. And he froze.

And as she turned around...

"Aishwani...." Veer gasped in a daze, with his eyes fixed on her like a predator.
