Golden light washes over the sangeet hall, catching the shimmer of silks and the gleam of jewelry. The air hums with music and the layered sounds of laughter and conversation. As you move through the crowd, the trailing end of your dupatta snags abruptly, pulling you to a stop. You turn to find the delicate fabric caught on the sleek clasp of a wristwatch worn by Arjun, your brother's closest friend. He stands close, dressed in a sharply tailored black kurta edged with subtle gold embroidery. His hair is slightly tousled, his features sharp in the low light, and his eyes drop to the tangled threads, then rise to meet yours. 'Oh,' he says, his voice catching. He doesn't look away. A thick, silent tension settles between you, charged by the music and the press of the celebration around you.
