Author's POV
It's been three months since Abhishree and Samrat's wedding, and everything is going pretty smoothly. Abhimanyu had to visit Singapore for a Rathore Corporations matter just after his sister's wedding. He requested his mother to discuss the marriage proposal with the Chauhans upon his return. He came back a week before Holi.
Meanwhile, Samyukta focused on preparing for her semester exams in mid-February, studying alongside Abhishree at the Chauhan's mansion, where Shree now resides. Their exams concluded a couple of weeks before Holi.
To celebrate their son and daughter-in-law's first Holi after marriage, the Chauhans arranged a festive party at their mansion, extending invitations to the Rathores as well.
HOLI
Abhimanyu's POV
Today is Holi, and the entire family is heading towards the Chauhan's mansion to celebrate. I guess today mother might talk about the marriage proposal to the Chauhans. I am kind of nervous.
What if they deny?
What if Samyukta denies? We didn't really interact much, so why would she get married to a stranger?
Agh!!! I shouldn't overthink and wait patiently to see what happens.
We reached the Chauhan's mansion. It was decorated beautifully with colorful fabrics, yellow and orange marigold flowers. Colorful umbrellas were hanging upside down in the air. The mansion looked pretty.
We entered the lawn and found Shree and my other friends playing around.
Where is she? Don't be so much into her. She didn't even say yes to the marriage till now.
Then I noticed her coming out of the mansion with a plate of desserts. She placed it on the table where other refreshments were kept and walked towards us. She was wearing a white anarkali with a sky blue bandhani print chunni. Her long, thick hair was open and bouncing all the while she walked towards us. She had marks of gulaal on her cheeks.
How much I wish to paint them red. Stop it, Abhi!
Suddenly, Khushi and Suyash went to her and applied yellow gulaal on her feet and then to her cheeks. She also applied some blue gulaal on the kids' cheeks. Khushi said something to her and she laughed with them.

As she approached the group, she joyfully wished everyone a 'Happy Holi,' playfully smearing colorful gulaal on their cheeks. When it was my turn, she softly wished me and I wished her the same. Upon coming closer I saw she wore no makeup today. Some of her face skin was visible where gulaal was not present. She had such a beautiful glowing skin. Her big eyes, long lashes, lightly blushed cheeks, and rosy lips were captivating.
