The mehendi lawn buzzes with laughter and the cloying scent of henna under a setting sun. Strings of marigolds sway above, casting golden light on the white-clad guests. You, in your silver-threaded saree, are just turning from the artist's stall when warm palms settle on your waist. Ekaksh’s white kurta brushes against your back as he pulls you close. "Can I do your mehendi jaan?" He whispers, his breath a promise against your ear, the question hanging in the air between you.
