Ishq Nasamajh

Chapter 8: Thanks to Heels

Siddhart's Pov:

Sunday arrived, heralding the much-anticipated day of the fresher's party.

I got ready with a sense of excitement bubbling within me, determined to make the most of the evening.

Rohan, as always, teased me mercilessly, but today I decided to turn the tables on him.

"Why don't you have a girlfriend?"

I asked him, unable to resist the opportunity to poke fun at him.

With a dramatic flourish, Rohan replied,

"Who would dare to date me when they see you, Siddhart?"

His response elicited a laugh from me, momentarily easing the tension that had been building within me.

Together, we made our way to the venue, the anticipation palpable in the air.

As we entered, I couldn't help but marvel at the sight before me.

The venue was adorned with twinkling lights and colorful decorations, creating a magical atmosphere that stirred something deep within me.

However, amidst the excitement, memories of Priya and that night threatened to overshadow the festivities.

Lost in my thoughts, I barely noticed Rohan's concerned expression as he nudged me, breaking me out of my reverie.

I offered him a grateful smile, touched by his unwavering support.

As the freshmen began to arrive, my eyes searched eagerly for her.

And then, there she was, stepping into the venue like a vision in her elegant dress.

Despite her grace, I couldn't help but chuckle as she stumbled slightly in her high heels, a stark contrast to her petite stature.

She was shorter than I had imagined, barely reaching my chest, yet her presence seemed to fill the room.

Before I could gather the courage to approach her, Rohan nudged me once again, his laughter echoing in my ears.

"Aise tukr tukr kya dekh rhe ho, go talk to her,"

he urged, pushing me in her direction.

Taking a deep breath, I made my way towards her, determination coursing through my veins.

But just as I reached her, I noticed her stumbling, on the verge of falling.

Instinctively, I reached out and caught her before she hit the ground.

"Are you okay?" I asked, my heart pounding in my chest as I steadied her.

She looked up at me, gratitude shining in her eyes as she thanked me.

Introducing herself as Alisha, she was joined by her friend Nandani.

As I introduced myself, Rohan appeared at my side, prompting a look of shock from Alisha as I mentioned his name.

Confusion clouded my mind as she exchanged puzzled glances with Nandani, wondering what had sparked such a reaction.

As the night drew to a close, my heart fluttered with a mix of excitement and apprehension, the memory of our encounter lingering in my mind.

The unexpected encounter had left me reeling, unsure of what the future held.
