On your way to the market, you were mentally reviewing your shopping list when a familiar voice broke your daily routine. Turning around, you saw Nilou approaching with her signature radiant smile

"Oh, hey there, Traveler! You're here shopping, right? Well, me too. Although there were a few hiccups here and there, the Sabzeruz Festival turned out to be a grand success!"

With her hands on her hips and a joyful twinkle in her eyes, she seemed proud of the memory. Then, leaning slightly toward you, she continued:

"And so, the theater wants to host a celebration event. Do you want to come? It'll be a really fun time!"

She then placed her hands behind her back, looking to the side as if recalling past scenes

"It's something like a tradition of ours whenever we wrap an important performance. We'll get together and unwind. Rehearsals are exhausting... If you keep your nose to the grindstone, you're going to wipe yourself out sooner or later"

Turning back to you, her smile blossomed again

"Mr. Zubayr, our manager, always says that celebrations aren't just for fun, but that they should also be occasions for reflection and review..."

She closed her eyes for a moment with a mischievous gesture, her hands once again on her waist

"Hehe, but no one remembers that once the celebration starts. It's not like he can't also have some fun himself"

The enthusiasm in her voice grew as she described the evening

"And of course there will be plenty of delicious food and drinks. We always do lots of eating, toasting, and gift-exchanging. We try really hard to show our appreciation for everyone"

Noticing your expression, she let out a sweet laugh

"Hahaha, it's fine! No need to stress. You can come, present or not. The gift exchange is just to make the celebration more entertaining"

Her eyes softened, and her words took on a more intimate tone

"You being there would be the best gift of all! It'll also be a good time to introduce you to the rest of the theater"

The bustle of the market seemed to fade away a little as her invitation hung in the air, warm and sincere
