The next day, morning went by as usual for the entire family.
In the afternoon, the ladies of the house were busy discussing the upcoming festival — Dhanteras. Yes, as Diwali was approaching, the first thing to be celebrated would be Dhanteras.
Dadi Saa was instructing the servants about how the house should be decorated. Half of the workers had already been assigned their duties, and the rest were being briefed now.
"And since this is the first Diwali of Shashi and Aakash," Dadi Saa said with a smile, "you both will be performing the pooja this year."
Both Shashi and Aakash nodded in agreement, feeling a mix of excitement and nervousness.
After dividing all the work, the family sat for lunch. Post-lunch, everyone was busy chatting around, while Shashi enthusiastically played with little Advik.
"This will be your first Diwali, Chutku," Drishti said, caressing her son’s soft hair lovingly.
"Shashi, teri bhi toh pehli Diwali hai!" Aadarsh teased from the other side.
"Thanks yaar batane ke liye, abhi tak toh mujhe pata hi nahi tha," Shashi replied sarcastically, rolling her eyes. "Bada upkaar kiya aapne!"
"Tere se baat karna hi bekaar hai," Aadarsh muttered dramatically.
"Cupcake, when will you bake brownies?" Aarav asked, making puppy eyes.
"Whenever you wish, pie," Shashi smiled.
"Tonight, please!" he pleaded sweetly.
"No need to plead, bachcha, I’ll make it," she said warmly.
"By the way, cupcake, aap aur kya kya bana sakti ho?" Aarav asked curiously.
"Ullu! Bewakoof! Bahut kuch banati hai teri cupcake," Aadarsh answered on her behalf. "Ek insaan ko handicap se healthy bhi bana sakti hai!"
"Tu chup reh!" Shashi scolded, smacking his arm lightly.
"Chachu, quiet," Aarav said, copying her.
"Tune bacche ko manipulate kiya?" Aadarsh asked, acting hurt.
"Tujhe na abhi ek laat maarungi mast wali, chup reh!" Shashi warned.
"Main bhi tujhe uthake phenk sakta hoon!" Aadarsh retorted.
"O Adarsh!" everyone warned him together, glaring fiercely.
"Sab re sab biased ho!" Aadarsh sulked.
"Tu meri beti ko kuch bola toh pit jaayega!" Sarthak said warningly.
"Kaise kaise tum meri behen ko dhamki de sakte ho!" Drishti slapped his arm.
"Drishti, tum bhi!" Aadarsh cried dramatically.
"Arre tameez se baat karo, meri biwi hai," Aakash said, smacking Aadarsh's head.
"Hujhe toh main abhi batata hoon," Aadarsh challenged.
"Kya bataega?" Aakash asked laughing.
"Nalayak ashique kahike, jab help chahiye thi tab ro raha tha mere paas," Aadarsh teased and ran away while Aakash chased after him.
"Saale, main bada hoon tujhse!" Aakash yelled as he caught him.
"Haan haan, sirf 7 mahine bada hai tu mujhse!" Aadarsh teased back. "Kal se tere pair padunga kya?"
"Ho toh izzat diya kar mujhe, par pair dabaaya kar," Aakash laughed.
"Main gala daba doon?" Aadarsh joked, grabbing Aakash’s neck playfully.
"Oye bandaron, bas karo!" Dadi Saa shouted.
"First tell him!" both of them said together like kids.
"Chiku, Aadu, bohot ho gaya, aa jao yahan shaanti se baitho," Akriti said, bringing a deck of cards.
The 'kids' — meaning Sarthak, Akriti, Aadarsh, Drishti, Agastya, Aakash, and Shashi — sat in a circle and started playing enthusiastically.
Agastya won the first round, and Shashi won the second.
Before they could start another round...
"Your cards are making me bored, let's play something else," Aakash said, yawning.
"Then what should we do?" asked Agastya.
"Truth and Dare!" Shashi and Agastya shouted together.
Everyone agreed excitedly.
Aakash brought a bottle from the kitchen, and they all sat around it.
"If the cap lands on you, you are trapped," Sarthak announced. Everyone gave a thumbs up.
Akriti spun the bottle and it landed on Agastya.
"Truth or Dare?" Aadarsh asked, smirking.
"Dare," Agastya said immediately, knowing too well that if he chose Truth, they'd bombard him with 'girlfriend' questions.
"I dare you to go to Maa Saa with a dish, tell her you made it — but add two spoons of salt!" Drishti said, clapping her hands excitedly.
Agastya obeyed and returned with a pout after getting a playful slap on the back from Maa Saa.
"Spin again!" Aadarsh said, laughing hard.
This time, the bottle landed on Aadarsh.
"Truth!" he chose.
"Tell me why you rejected Naina in college!" Shashi clapped her hands in excitement.
"You rejected someone?" Drishti asked, surprised.
Aadarsh stood up dramatically, looked at Drishti, and said:
"Because I loved only one woman in my entire life... and I couldn't even imagine anyone else in her place. She lives right here..."
He touched his chest, gazing lovingly at Drishti.
Everyone clapped and hooted.
"Wah Rajput!" Shashi complimented with a teasing smile.
The bottle spun again and landed on Akriti.
"Bhabhi, just flirt with Bhai!" Agastya dared her.
Everyone hooted, sensing fun coming.
"Baby..." Akriti said in a seductive voice, making Sarthak turn red instantly.
"Don't keep beard," she pouted.
"Why?" Sarthak asked, confused.
"Because... you look so much more tempting with a beard... I just feel like showering you with love and kisses..."
She said, making Sarthak's face go crimson while everyone clapped and whistled.
The bottle spun again and landed on Drishti.
"Show us your moves, baby!" Akriti teased.
Drishti smiled mischievously and stood up.
Agastya played music — and the sensual, earthy beats of "Namak" filled the air.
Got it!
You want Drishti's dance to be perfectly in sync with the real lyrics of Namak Ishq Ka that you just gave, right?
Also, remove my earlier made-up lyrics — only match it properly to the ones you sent.
I’ll describe the dance in a bold, graceful, intense style exactly following these lyrics you shared.
Here’s the updated, corrected version of your story scene:
The bottle spun again and landed on Drishti.
"Dare!" she said, flashing a confident smile.
"Show us your moves, baby!" teased Akriti, making everyone whistle and cheer.
Laughing, Drishti stood up lightly. Her anklets jingled as she adjusted her dupatta stylishly.
Agastya quickly played the song "Namak Ishq Ka", and the slow, intense beats filled the air.
Drishti closed her eyes for a moment — feeling the rhythm in her blood — and then began.
"Bheetar-bheetar aag jaale,
Baath karoon to sek lage..."
She started with slow, fluid movements, her waist swaying like a flame, her hands moving languidly in the air as if feeling invisible heat.
Her expressions were sensuous, her eyes heavy with a mischievous glow.
She stepped forward, her body moving in hypnotic waves, while her fingertips brushed lightly over her cheeks and neck, teasingly.
"Aji, bheetar-bheetar aag jaale,
Baath karoon to sek lage..."
She twirled slowly, her ghungroos ringing with each delicate step, her dupatta fluttering dramatically behind her.
With a sharp glance, she pointed towards Aadarsh, making everyone hoot.
"Ho, main chaand nigal gayi, daiya re,
Ang pe aise chhaale pade..."
At these lines, Drishti mimed swallowing the moon with a mock-dramatic gulp, then danced back a few steps clutching her shoulder as if burned — laughing as she acted out the lyrics so perfectly.
Everyone burst into cheers at her theatrical grace.
"Tej tha chhaunka, ka karoon?"
She gave a quick, flirty shrug, lifting her palms upward helplessly, eyes sparkling.
"See-see karti, see-see, see-see karti main marun..."
Drishti did a series of light, quick twirls, moving around the floor, her anklets creating a playful rhythm, as if she was cooling herself from the fiery passion inside her.
"Jabaan pe laagaa jee, laagaa jee, re..."
As the chorus hit, she brought her fingers near her lips, tapping them lightly, pretending as if something delicious but burning had touched them.
"Jabaan pe laagaa, laagaa re, namak ishq ka,
Hae, tere ishq ka..."
With every "laagaa re", Drishti moved her body in slow, intense circles, lowering herself into a deep, graceful spin, completely owning the room’s energy.
Her gaze locked with Aadarsh — teasing, daring — making his heart thud wildly.
"Jabaan pe laagaa, laagaa re..."
She brushed past Aadarsh lightly, and he almost forgot to breathe. Everyone hooted, whistled, clapped.
"Balam se maanga, maanga re..."
As the music softened, Drishti raised her hands in a mock-prayer gesture towards Aadarsh, laughing playfully, as if asking something from her beloved.
She ended with a beautiful, soft twirl, her dupatta wrapping around her like a dream, and struck a stunning final pose — one hand on her waist, other pointing upwards like a classical diva.
The music faded.
For a second, there was stunned silence.
Then — a loud explosion of claps, cheers, whistles filled the room!
"Apsara hai bhai! Real apsara!" Shashi laughed, grabbing Drishti’s hand and raising it like a victor’s.
"Aadarsh, tu toh gaya kaam se!" Akriti teased, and Aadarsh could only sit there, speechless — his eyes glued to Drishti, his heart surrendering completely.
Drishti bowed dramatically, blowing a flying kiss towards everyone, her cheeks flushed pink with laughter.
Shashi clapped her hands excitedly and turned to Aadarsh.
"I don't doubt your stories anymore, Aadi! She's really an apsara! Bro, you won at life!" she said, laughing.
Aadarsh, meanwhile, was sitting there like a statue — completely lost in Drishti’s beauty.
His heart was racing, his chest burning with love.
“Bas... ho gaya. Main gaya. Mar gaya. Is ladki ne mujhe sach mein maar daala...” he thought.
When Drishti smiled at him with that shy sparkle, he felt his soul leave his body in pure bliss.
"Meri Drishti... meri jaan..." he whispered, lost in her aura.
Everyone noticed his love-struck face and started hooting again.
"Oye hoye! Aadi bhai toh gaya kaam se!" Sarthak teased.
"Control aadi, control!" Agastya laughed.
Aadarsh just blushed helplessly, rubbing the back of his neck as Drishti laughed sweetly.
The bottle spun again and landed on Shashi, who chose Dare.
"Sing bro!" said Aadarsh.
"Okay fine," Shashi agreed, and sang a beautiful melody.
Everyone listened, completely mesmerized.
"You sang so beautifully!" Aakash said, amazed.
"We didn't know our daughter is so talented!" Suhani added proudly.
"Actually, Shashi, you really shocked us," Sarthak complimented warmly.
"Thank you!" she said in her cute, shy voice.
"Okay, next!" Aarav shouted excitedly.
They spun the bottle again — this time it landed on Aakash.
"Dare!" he chose bravely.
"Kiss Bhabhi!" Agastya said, making everyone gasp and laugh while Shashi and Aakash looked at each other, blushing hard.
