Inside the Car – Aarushi & John’s Moment 🚗💖
Aarushi and John found themselves in the same car, seated right next to each other. Aarushi adjusted her lehenga carefully before leaning back with a sigh of relief.
💫 John (smirking, glancing at her): “Tired?”
🌸 Aarushi (grinning): “A little. It was such a long day, but everything was perfect. The decorations, the rituals… Rahul bhai looked so happy.”
💫 John (nodding): “Yeah, it was amazing. Indian engagements are so grand… nothing like what I’ve seen before.”
🌸 Aarushi (laughing softly): “Of course! Indian weddings are not just events, they’re festivals.” 🎉
💫 John (chuckling): “I noticed! But honestly, my favorite part was the family moments. The way everyone was involved, the traditions, the love... it’s different.”
🌸 Aarushi (smiling): “That’s what makes it special. We don’t just get two people engaged… we unite two families.” 💖
John looked at her, admiring how passionately she spoke about her culture. She had a glow on her face, her kohl-lined eyes sparkling in the dim light of the car.

The Post-Engagement Ritual – Blessings & Love 🙏💞
Before heading home, there was one last ritual. The elders of the family gathered near the entrance to give their blessings to Rahul and Ananya.
👴 Dadaji (placing a hand on Rahul’s head): “Beta, always keep each other happy. A marriage is built on respect and understanding.”
👵 Dadiji (smiling warmly): “And love… don’t forget love. This is just the beginning.”
Rahul and Ananya touched their elders’ feet as a sign of respect, receiving blessings and warm hugs from every family member.
After the rituals were complete, they finally stepped into their cars, ready to head home.

Back in the Car – A Silent Chemistry 🌙💞
As the car moved forward, Aarushi stretched her arms, letting out a small yawn.
💫 John (playfully): “Careful, you might fall asleep on my shoulder.” 😉
🌸 Aarushi (raising an eyebrow, smirking): “Dream on!”
As the car moved smoothly through the dimly lit streets, John looked out of the window, his mind still filled with the grandeur of the engagement. He leaned back, smiling slightly as he turned to Aarushi.
💫 John (thoughtfully): “You know… in France, engagements aren’t celebrated like this. They’re usually small, intimate gatherings. Just close family and a simple dinner.”
🌸 Aarushi (curious): “Really? That sounds… peaceful, but I still think Indian engagements are more fun. The music, the traditions, the family drama—nothing beats that.” 😄
💫 John (laughing): “Yeah, that’s what makes it special. I’ve never seen anything like this before. And honestly… I’ve never seen a girl like you before either.” 😏
Aarushi raised an eyebrow, smirking.
🌸 Aarushi (teasing): “Are you flirting, Mr. Frenchman?”
💫 John (grinning): “Maybe… or maybe I’m just stating facts.” 😉
She rolled her eyes but couldn’t hide the small blush on her cheeks.

The cool night breeze drifted into the car through the open window, making Aarushi’s soft curls dance around her face. She kept tucking her hair behind her ear, but it kept falling forward again.
John watched her struggle for a few moments, his lips curving into a small smile. Then, without thinking, he reached out gently, his fingers brushing against her cheek as he tucked a loose strand behind her ear.
💫 John (softly): “Let me…”
His fingertips lingered for a second longer than necessary. Aarushi froze, her breath hitching as their eyes locked. The warmth of his touch sent a shiver down her spine. The world outside blurred, and for a brief moment, it was just them—lost in the silent magic between them.
🌸 Aarushi (blinking, whispering): “Thanks…”
💫 John (smirking, voice low): “No need to thank me… I’ll do it anytime.” 😏
Aarushi quickly looked away, her heart beating just a little faster. She wasn’t sure if it was the night air or the way John’s deep eyes held hers, but something in her felt different.

💫 John (clearing his throat, looking out the window): “You know, in France, people believe that if you make a wish on a full moon night while looking at the Eiffel Tower, it might just come true.”
🌸 Aarushi (smiling): “That’s beautiful. Have you ever made a wish?”
💫 John (glancing at her, voice softer now): “Maybe I will tonight.” 😉
She looked at him, her heart skipping a beat, but before she could respond, the car slowed down—they had reached home.
As they stepped out of the car, Aarushi took a deep breath, stealing one last glance at John before heading inside.
Tonight was just another engagement night for the family… but for John and Aarushi, it was the start of something unforgettable.
