Dhriti was standing in front of the mirror. She was nervous yet excited. It was her fashion show for which she and her team had been working on since three months.

A lot of big brands were going to be there and even if one of them likes their designs they could get an internship with their designers. It would be a really great opportunity for all of them.

She was wearing a green saree and minimal makeup with her hair curled.

She took her families' blessings and left for the venue. She reached there and saw the models getting ready. She called Utkarsh to ask him where he was. He told her that he was reaching in five minutes.

True to his words, he was there five minutes later. Dhriti gave him one of the kurtas and told him to change into it. All of them were wearing clothes designed by Dhriti and her team.

"All the best buddy."

Came Abeer and Tanvi's voices. Dhriti smiled and gave hugs to both of them. Just then Utkarsh came out. Dhriti went to him and corrected the collar of his kurta which was a little creased on one side.

Utkarsh just kept looking at her doing the work. She looked more beautiful when she was concentrated on something. And the saree made her look extremely gorgeous.

Dhriti's eyes met his and they shared an eyelock.

"Dhriti! Yaar problem ho gyi."

(There's a problem.)

One of her teammates came running to her. The look on her face scared Dhriti.

"Kya hua?"

(What happened?)

"Yaar ek model ki tabiyat kharab ho gyi isliye wo aaya nhi. Aur ab uske partner ne bhi mana kr dia ki wo uske bina stage pr nhi jaayegi."

(One of the models fell sick. Her partner denied saying that she would not perform without him.)

"Koshish kro yaar manane ki. Ek male model toh shayad mai arrange kr du par ek female aur kaha se laau."

(Try to persuade her. I could arrange a male model but where would i get a female model from.)

Dhriti said in a desperate tone.

"Nhi maan rhi yaar. Aadhe ghante se mana rhe hai."

(She is not listening. We have been trying since half and hour.)

Dhriti looked tensed when her eyes fell on Abeer and Tanvi. She told her teammate to go and look after the other models and get ready and that she would take care of it.

"Tanvi meri jaan. Tu meri best friend hai na. Please meri ek help krde."

(You are my best friend. Please help me.)

She said in a sweet tone. Tanvi's eyes widened understanding her reference. She quickly shook her head.

"Nhi. Nhi mujhse nhi hoga. Mai nhi kar paaungi. Modelling ka toh M bhi nhi pata mujhe. Mujhse nhi hoga. Aur waise bhi partner nhi hai na."

(No. I can't. I don't even know anything about modelling. I can't. And i don't even have a partner.)

She said trying to get out of the situation. Dhriti smiled and said.

"Ho jaayega yaar. Please na. Aur Abeer hai na. Wo karega tere saath partner. Hai na Abeer?"

(You can do it. Abeer will partner with you. Right Abeer?)

She said the last part glaring at him as if daring him to deny her. He quickly nodded his head.

"Haan haan. Bilkul. Hamari best friend hai we should help her."

(Yes yes. Absolutely. She is our best friend we should help.)

He said looking at Tanvi.

"Mujhse nhi ho paayega yaar."

(I can't.)

Abeer held her hand and said.

"Please na. Mai sikha dunga tujhe. Please say yes."

(I will teach you.)

"Fine."

She said defeatedly. Dhriti clapped her hands in excitement and quickly bought their dresses. Meanwhile she went to look for their sequence.

The show started with their team. The models went in partners one by one. Tanvi was getting nervous. Abeer assured her. Holding her hand he walked towards the stage with confidence. She seemed to have gained confidence by his assurance and walked gracefully beside him.

Then all the teammates too came in partners and last was Dhriti and Utkarsh. He held her hand and they walked together. Reaching the front they bowed together and then every model and partner followed behind them and gathered on the stage.

Everyone clapped for their performance. They came back and waited for the results. Two more teams were there after them. After their performance results would be declared.

Coming back to their dressing room Dhriti thanked and appreciated everyone and hugged Tanvi and Abeer and thanked them for their last minute help.

All of them sat waiting for the announcement of the result.

After about two hours they were called out for the declaration. Being the project head Dhriti went out. Utkarsh followed her.

She was getting very nervous and it could be seen from her face. She felt a hand slip in hers and saw Utkarsh standing there with a smile on his face.

"You are the best. Don't worry. It will be fine."

She nodded and the judges started their point analysis.

"The first position and an exclusive internship with the top designers of Fashion in the City (Imaginary name) goes to Miss Dhriti and team."

The judges announced. She was saying something but Dhriti could not hear any more. Utkarsh nudged her to bring her back to reality and she realised that they won.

She jumped and hugged him in excitement.

"Oh my God! Oh my God! Oh my God! Hum jeet gaye Utkarsh. I can't believe it."

(We won.)

She said still hugging him. Few moments later she realised what she was doing and pulled away embarrassed.

"Come on. Sab ko batana hai na. Uske baad tumhe stage par bhi jaana hai."

(We have to tell everyone. Then you have to go on stage.)

She nodded and they went inside where their team was. They gave this news a huge round of cheers followed. They went out and were called on the stage.

They celebrated their victory with a pizza party.

Dhriti went home and told her family about the same and her father ordered her favourite chocolate truffle to celebrate it.

Her day went amazing. Their internship would be starting after their exams which were in June.
