MUKHTALIF

Chapter 4

Sidharth was stuck, his mind and heart felt like they are not with him and are still with that girl from the balcony.

Shehnaaz, her name, everytime he says her name in mind his eyes get closed  automatically and he gets goosebumps all over his body.

He wanted to see her, to see the face of his stranger who just by her voice has his heart now, there was something about her that screamed pain as if something tragic happened to her.

He is a kind man he knows that because he was raised like that, he always helped people around him whenever he could. But today there was something different about that girl, the concern he felt today was not because of sympathy or out of act of kindness but he felt as if he needed to comfort her for himself, he could literally feel her pain without even knowing her or reason behind her crying

“good morning everyone!! Every year our college is sponsored for the students who wants to land in modeling career or get internship with modeling agency and this year also we have got this opportunity which is going to be given by renowned owner of Gainyard academy & company, so with the huge round of applause students please welcome our guest Mr. Sidharth Trivedi”, with the announcement of the director of the college Sidharth came out of his reverie of thoughts and went towards the stage.

Whole college was excited to meet the owner of the gainyard, the winner of the India’s Forbes most handsome man to many awards which he for most fit man in the country.

Before starting his own empire he also started his career through modelling and won many awards for winning big contests and of course the Sidharth Trivedi was also once star in television industry and did some movies in Bollywood too. The man made his presence in every part of nation whether it be social, political, educational or be it entertainment industry, he did it all.

But whoever worked with Sidharth Trivedi they all knew him as a man of few words, hard working and with a domineering aura. Every other person in Mumbai respected him for his work he did for the society and the youth of India looked up to him as their ideal.

With the clapping Noise Sidharth stood up from his seat and went to the stage to speak on podium, the walk was enough to make people in the auditorium hall mummer about him, gushing teenager to the staffs everyone was a fan of Sidharth.

With a stoic face Sidharth turned towards the audience and acknowledged them with his signature two fingers wave to stop the clapping and said in his authoritative voice  “hello everyone, I hope you all here to hear me”, The whole room fell in silence as soon as Sidharth said those words.

“well I need students to interact with me because that’s what I came here for so when I ask you guys something I really need you to respond to me” Sidharth said smiling a little to students to make them comfortable, he knows how young people get nervous around him because of picture media portrayed of him.

“yes sir!!” replied everyone collectively.

“Fitness is not an option but a necessity these days. Mental fitness is just as important as Physical fitness, and should not be taken for granted. You can either choose to exercise at home or hit the gym. Fitness Empire Gainyard is one such famous venture that was started with an aim of making people of India fit and healthy whether it be poor or rich, young or old. With that we have been providing many mental health counselors to different colleges across India since 3years because we believe in fit mind too and this year we are going to sponsor our counselor team to your college. Please make most out of it” Sidharth said to the students.

Sidharth went on with the benefits this year students of this college will get and how they are going to help them. In the middle of his seminar he saw someone enter the hall, usually he never gets distracted that was pretty normal for him but today he was feeling this urge to look at the person.
