As the tension between Daksh and Aarushi continued to simmer, the rest of the group decided to ignore their presence and focus on enjoying the rest of the Holi celebration. They made their way to the drinks stall, where they had heard that a delicious thandai was being served. Thandai was a traditional Indian drink made with milk, spices, and nuts, and it was a popular choice during Holi celebrations. The group was looking forward to sipping on the cool, creamy drink and enjoying the festive atmosphere. They had been playing with colors and dancing to the music for hours, and they were ready for a break.
As they reached the stall, they were greeted by the vendor, who offered them a cup of thandai. Ekansh, being the adventurous one, decided to take a sip first. But as soon as the liquid touched his lips, he knew that something was off. The drink tasted bitter and earthy, and it had a strange, pungent smell. Ekansh's eyes widened in surprise as he realized that the drink was not thandai at all, but something entirely different. He looked at the vendor in confusion, wondering how he could have made such a mistake. But the vendor just smiled and winked, as if he knew a secret that no one else did.
"Guys, I think this is bhang, not thandai," Ekansh exclaimed, his eyes widening in surprise. Bhang was a type of cannabis-infused drink that was popular in some parts of India, particularly during Holi celebrations. It was known for its potent effects, and it was not something that the group had been expecting to drink. Aashvika's eyes widened in alarm as she realized what Ekansh was saying. "Oh no, what have we done?" she exclaimed, her voice trembling with worry. Parth and Krishnaa looked at each other in concern, their faces pale with worry. Abhimanyu, who had been sipping the drink, suddenly stopped and looked at Ekansh with a confused expression.
As the group stood there, frozen in shock and confusion, Daksh and Ayesha watched them with amusement, their eyes glinting with mischief. It seemed that they had played a trick on the group, substituting the thandai with bhang. And now, as the group struggled to come to terms with what had happened, Daksh and Ayesha seemed to be enjoying the chaos they had created. Daksh's smile grew wider as he gazed at the group, his eyes glinting with amusement. Ayesha, on the other hand, seemed to be savoring the moment, her eyes fixed on the group with a mixture of curiosity and contempt.
The group, meanwhile, was struggling to come to terms with what had happened. They had been looking forward to a fun and relaxing day, and now they found themselves in a situation that was completely unexpected. They looked at each other in confusion, wondering what to do next. Some of them seemed to be feeling the effects of the bhang already, their eyes glazing over as they stumbled and staggered. Others seemed to be more alert, their eyes fixed on Daksh and Ayesha with a mixture of anger and suspicion. As the group struggled to come to terms with what had happened, the atmosphere seemed to grow more and more chaotic, the colors and music of the Holi celebration seeming to swirl around them in a dizzying vortex.
As the effects of the bhang began to take hold, the group started to behave in ways that were completely out of character for them. Ekansh, who was normally the most reserved and cautious member of the group, suddenly became loud and boisterous, laughing and joking with abandon. He stumbled and staggered around the room, his eyes glassy and unfocused, as he tried to keep up with the others. Aashvika, who was normally the most level-headed and responsible member of the group, suddenly became giggly and flirtatious, batting her eyelashes and making suggestive comments to anyone who would listen. She danced and spun around the room, her movements wild and uncoordinated, as she laughed and joked with the others.
Parth, who was normally the most serious and brooding member of the group, suddenly became silly and playful, chasing after Krishnaa and trying to get her to laugh. He made funny faces and noises, his eyes shining with mischief, as he tried to bring a smile to Krishnaa's face. Krishnaa, who was normally the most confident and self-assured member of the group, suddenly became shy and demure, blushing and looking away whenever anyone tried to talk to her. She giggled and smiled, her eyes sparkling with amusement, as she tried to hide her face behind her hands. Abhimanyu, who was normally the most laid-back and easy-going member of the group, suddenly became aggressive and confrontational, picking fights with anyone who would engage with him.
