It was the day of the long-awaited farewell party for the high school seniors. After months of gruelling schedules and relentless studying, the students were eager for a night of fun and relaxation. However, Rohit, the class topper, wasn't particularly enthused. For him, it was just another ordinary day. Unlike his classmates who spent hours shopping for the perfect outfit, Rohit didn't bother. He felt perfectly comfortable in his familiar, casual clothes, the same ones he wore to every birthday party.275Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRMvgnHXwcL
The venue was decorated with delicate lights casting a warm glow all over the place. Colorful balloons were arranged gracefully on the walls giving the shades of different colors. A subtle scent of roses filled the air with an inviting atmosphere. The party was about to start when the students started gathering, their noise filled with excitement and eagerness. 275Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhlx5eDs90C
Natasha, a decent-looking girl, was wearing a pink coloured top coupled with midnight black jeans, along with stylish strappy black heels. Her purse was casually hanging from her shoulder making her presence more enlightening. Her demeanour cast a spell of genuine joy and playfulness and brightened the venue more than the decorative lights did. Rohit was dressed in a plain yellow hoodie and blue jeans. His quiet and reserved demeanour set him apart from the more extroverted people around him. 275Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaTZR2cuGft
He was drawing comfort from his own company and was lost in his thoughts when he suddenly caught a glimpse of a radiant smile, creating a ripple of joy reaching him even from a distance. He was drawn towards the effortless grace and the beauty of happiness of the smile of a girl standing a few meters away. As he was captivated by the dreams he was having of himself and her, an announcement struck his ears, jolting him out of his daydreams.275Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPMpj6GKRiX
“Please give a big round of applause for a girl with the cutest of smiles, Natasha on the stage. She will have to perform a task as per the chit picked up by her.” 275Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyV4wh2yBFR
Rohit's heart skipped a beat when he saw Natasha walking towards the stage. Her walk was gentle and unhurried. Her smile cast a glow on her face. With each footstep of her, Rohit could feel his heartbeat racing. He was almost at the edge of his chair and thumping in his chest was deafening his ears. Natasha walked towards a jar filled with folded chits and picked up a random chit. 275Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡysxZajq6m1
“Sing a song,” She read the task written on it. 275Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGNDPy4cS6S
Everyone around her cheered. She looked around and saw Rohit who was standing silent between the enthusiastic crowd.275Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvt3UVWEBAy
“I am going to sing my favourite song. Please bear my voice,” she murmured, holding the mic in her right hand.275Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRIvxhNTLlv
Rohit, standing motionless on the edge of his chair, could feel that he was falling more and more in for her with each passing moment. 275Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX7xnnNdpDX
He muttered to himself, “I have never felt these emotions anytime before. Should I tell her what I feel? ”275Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr5e2advAVS
Under the dim lights of the stage, she started singing the song.275Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAZa8qX8CfM
“In the dark night sky, he searched for sun
His was an illusion that she was the one
Her smile for him was a light so bright
Guiding him through the darkest night
His presence for her was just twilight,
A presence of warmth barely in sight”275Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡve04VA8ZJU
Her voice cast a spell on Rohit leaving him speechless. He took a deep breath and said to himself under his breath, “What were the odds of her singing my favourite song on the stage? This is one of the best memories of my life,” he smiled at the sight of the very moment. 275Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFJ7AFnJ4W5
As Natasha was on her way back to her place after her performance, Rohit's gaze followed her footsteps moving gracefully along the carpet and with an air of nonchalance, her hair glowed in the lights as she passed by. 275Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKmP5GFos7s
Many performances followed, but Rohit was standing motionless, spellbound by the sight of her. He was standing enthralled by the thoughts of Natasha, singing his favourite song. 275Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7QsK7CLbbD
As he was lost in his thoughts, he heard the voice of a girl approaching him from behind, “Rohit, everyone dancing Why are you standing alone?” Natasha asked in an energetic voice.275Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKqvwRqoRES
Rohit looked behind him and saw Natasha standing with a cute smile on her face. He was drawn into a spell of shyness. Rohit knew that he was too shy to dance in front of everyone. 275Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu2KomRykXG
All of a sudden, the song sung by Natasha started playing. She chuckled, “Come now, it's my favourite song. Won't you dance with me on my favourite song?” 275Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9gZb8Lj6Da
Rohit could not believe that the girl of his dreams was calling him to dance with him. He thought, “How should I tell her that it's my favourite song too but I do not feel comfortable dancing in front of so many people.”275Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcP1ufj3bi1
Before he could reply, Natasha grabbed his hand and took him to the dancing crowd. She smiled at Rohit, “Let’s dance” and started dancing holding Rohit's hand.275Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFNiCfp8I0h
Rohit looked into her eyes and thought, “Does she have any feelings for me the way I have for her?275Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZJzyagJdkQ
