Three Years Later - Scotland

Siya walked toward the stage, the air crisp and cold in the scenic Scottish evening, the faint scent of the sea mixing with the sharp winds. She was invited to perform at a prestigious dance festival, something she had worked hard to achieve over the past two years. Dressed in a beautiful traditional kathak attire, her ghungroos glistened as she took her first steps onto the stage. The crowd was silent, waiting for her to begin. The stage was set with soft lighting, the shadows playing on her elegant costume and the flowing scarf wrapped around her waist, making her appear like a vision of grace.
