Reflection Questions
Tonight was the night Riya had been eagerly anticipating for months: prom night. The entire day had been a whirlwind of excitement and preparation. Riya stood in front of her full-length mirror, admiring the reflection staring back at her. She wore a dark pink shimmery gown, the fabric catching the light and sparkling with every movement. The gown had a sweetheart neckline and delicate straps that made her feel like a princess. Her wavy, brown hair cascaded down her back in loose curls, framing her face beautifully.
The doorbell rang, breaking her from her reverie. She knew it was her friends arriving, ready to embark on this magical evening together. Riya took one last glance at herself, a smile playing on her lips, before hurrying downstairs to greet them. As she opened the door, her friends gasped in unison. They were all dressed in stunning gowns, each reflecting their unique styles. A chorus of compliments filled the air as they admired one another's dresses. "Riya, your gown is absolutely gorgeous!" exclaimed Meera, twirling in her own midnight blue dress. "Thank you!" Riya replied, her cheeks flushing with pleasure. "You all look amazing too."
The girls gathered in the living room, chatting excitedly about the night ahead. After a while, Riya excused herself to select the perfect shoes to complement her gown. She opened her closet, revealing an impressive collection of footwear. From elegant stilettos to cute ballet flats, she had every style imaginable. Her fingers hovered over a pair of high-heeled pumps adorned with rhinestones, but she hesitated. Memories of previous events where her feet ached from wearing such shoes flashed through her mind. She wanted to dance the night away, especially with Rohan, and she knew that comfort was key.
Her eyes landed on a pair of silver open-toed sandals with low heels. The sandals were chic and elegant, with a subtle shimmer that would perfectly match her gown. She knew that these shoes would not only showcase her beautiful feet but also allow her to dance without pain or discomfort. With a decisive nod, she pulled them from the shelf and slipped them on. As she returned to her friends, they admired her choice of footwear. "Those sandals are perfect, Riya!" exclaimed Anika, who was wearing a pair of towering stilettos.
Riya smiled, feeling confident in her decision. "Thanks, Anika. I just want to make sure I can dance all night without any issues." The trick she learnt about dancing was to wear comfortable sandals. She did not want anything to come between her plan of spending the romantic evenign with Rohan. She meticulously planned her ensemble, ensuring everything was perfect. She paid special attention to her sandals, she wanted to dance throughout the evening with Rohan without any footpain or soreness.
They made their way to the ballroom. The venue was breathtaking, adorned with twinkling lights and elegant decorations that set the stage for a magical evening. Riya's heart raced with anticipation as she scanned the room. She exchanged greetings with friends, her eyes subtly searching for one person in particular: Rohan. He was the reason she had taken such care in choosing her outfit and shoes. She knew he admired her feet, and she wanted to look her best for him.

As she chatted with a group of friends, she felt a tap on her shoulder. Turning around, she found herself face to face with Rohan. He looked dashing in his tailored suit, his eyes lighting up as he saw her. "Riya, you look stunning," he said, his voice warm and sincere. "Thank you, Rohan," she replied, feeling a flutter in her stomach. "You look very handsome." "May I have this dance?" he asked, extending his hand with a charming smile.
Riya's heart skipped a beat as she placed her hand in his. "I'd love to." Rohan approached, his gaze lingering on Riya with an appreciation that was both respectful and admiring. They made their way to the dance floor as a romantic melody filled the air. Rohan gently pulled her close, and they began to sway to the music. Riya felt a wave of happiness wash over her. The silver sandals she had chosen allowed her to move gracefully, her feet free from the usual pain that high heels caused. As they danced, Rohan's eyes drifted down to her feet, and a smile tugged at the corners of his lips. "I love your sandals, Riya. They look beautiful on you." "Thank you, Rohan," she said, her cheeks flushing with pleasure. He chuckled softly. "Good choice. You look perfect."
Throughout the night, Riya's phone captured moments in pixels and laughter, each snapshot a colorful echo of the revelry. The photos were more than images; they were fragments of time, of the joy and camaraderie that stitched the evening into a tapestry of memories.
Later in the evening, Riya took a break from dancing and sat with a group of friends. They chatted animatedly, recounting funny stories and moments from the night. Despite being engaged in the conversation, Riya's eyes kept drifting towards Rohan, who was mingling with his friends across the room. He caught her gaze and smiled, sending a thrill through her heart.
As the night wore on, the music slowed, and couples filled the dance floor for one last romantic dance. Rohan approached Riya once more, his eyes filled with warmth and affection. "Shall we?" he asked, holding out his hand. Riya smiled and took his hand, feeling a sense of deja vu. They returned to the dance floor, where they swayed to the soft, romantic tune. Riya rested her head on Rohan's shoulder, closing her eyes and savoring the moment. Her feet felt comfortable and pain-free, allowing her to fully enjoy the dance. "Thank you for the dance, Riya," Rohan said softly, his eyes locked onto hers. "Thank you, Rohan," she replied, her heart in a storm of emotions.
They came back to Riya's house for sleep over. Her friends looked at her enviously. "You were right, Riya. Those sandals were a smart choice." With a smile on her lips, Riya closed her eyes and drifted off to sleep, thankful for the silver sandals that had made her prom night perfect.
