A Dancer's Diary

The phone call

I Rolled my eyes at the unwanted suggestion thrown at me by Dhanya
Like gurl, I didn't even ask for it

Hi. I'm Krudha currently studying and dreaming of ending up as the biggest dancer the world will ever recognise..

But for right now I'm sitting in my friend's house on her couch scrolling through the phone as she is giving me every single reason as to why I should not join the most popular Wildcrew Dance Academy

"You simply don't understand the amount of fuck boys you'll be surrounded with, the entire area isn't safe, Bitch!" She yelled slightly pushing my hand making my phone slip out of my fingers to get my attention

"But mind you ma'am I live in the same area" I crooked my brows at her for the 100th time today. Like honestly someone give her the award for being the most annoying woman on the planet right now

My breathings quickened and my eyes went wide with joy as my phone's caller ID pop ups the name of  owner of Wildcrew dance academy.

Without much hesitation I picked up the call and pressed the phone to my ears and for my surprise I could hear my own heart beat in my throat...I really hope I'll get in

"Hello Wildcrew dance academy here"

"Yes! Yes ma'am! Yes!" I took a deep breath trying to gain a control over my excitement which made the receptionist giggle through the phone

"You can come and admit yourself" and those are the words my ear and heart longed forever

"Yes ma'am sure! When am I allowed?"

"Make your way right through, right now" she said with a lil humor in her tone that made me giggle

"Sure ma'am thank you very much I'm coming right now" I quickly slid the phone into my pocket and grabbed my keys ready to leave as a hand grabbed my wrist stopping me on my way

"Aafath hai dekh le" (you're on the way of danger)

"HAAN chal chal jyaad math jal" (right? Don't be too jealous)

And with that little conversation I left her house putting on my helmet and drove off

*************

I reached the spot and stood in front of the tall building welcoming me

Yes Krudha here we go

I took one last deep breath and entered the elevator pressing the button for the third floor

I gently tapped my feet as I felt my hand sweat and forehead turn a lil heavy

"No! Too much excitment simply means anxiety Krudha?! Calm down!"

I gently rubbed my own shoulder when I heard the Ding of the elevator.

I stepped out of the elevator for the loud music to peirce my ears as I saw through the glass door a huge bunch of sweaty people moving perfectly to the rhythm as a tall man with a long stick in his hand stood right in the front looking at everyone..

The pair of glass doors were slightly opened by a smiling woman who quietly sneaked me inside to the reception making sure the classes won't be disturbed.

"Hi! I'm Krudha, you called me and told me I could come so.."

"Yes..I do remember please follow me"
And with that, the woman who didn't even tell me her name lead me to the receptionist table and handed me an application to fill

Which I did and paid the advance

"Maybe I'll leave now, from when can I come?" I said rubbing my sweaty hands feeling a lil anxious at the fact that I too will be a part of these sweaty people very soon

"You can't leave yet! You'll have to meet the director!" The woman said in enthusiasm probably noticing my tightened brows. Meet the director? So soon? Like, already? Oh god! I don't know I'm already nervous..

And before I could decline her "Offer" that increased my anxiety, she quickly guided me to the director's room

I quietly entered and saw a man sitting on the chair that looked comfortable as hell

"Oh? Nice meeting you please have a seat, Krudha?" The man spoke to me in his natural base voice

I quietly nodded and shook hands with him as I sat on the lil Fluffchair that was provided

"It's awesome to meet you My name is  Naadir and it means "Precious" what does your name mean?" He spoke as his lips curled into a small smile reducing my heart beats

"Well My name is Krudha and it has many meanings, Uhm...it means an angry person in Hinduism, A bitter person in sanskrit and it is also referred as "a blessing" in Arabic" I said looking around the room like an idiot which was filled with photographs of this dude posing with almost every dance legend I know

"Well then let's take the Arabic meaning, what say?" He said letting his giggles fill up the room which made me giggle too

"Yes sure that's soo sweet of you thank you" I nodded a lil

"Okay then let me introduce my staff to you" he said ringing the lil bell that was on his table making the woman run into the cabin

Yes, the same woman who led me all this way

"Uhm..Raashi can you go and call the staff so that we can introduce our new student?"

"Sure sir" she nodded and left

Ooh so that's her name.."Raashi" hmm I'll keep that in mind

After two minutes of me totally ignoring the speakings of Naadir sir and being too busy looking at the photographs, a tall and slim guy entered the office

"Kardra Bhai?" (Did you call me, bro?) He said giving me a quick side eyes and looking back at Naadir sir

"YEA! Meet her, her name is Krudha and Krudha this is Aayan" he introduced us as we shook our hands

"Where is Yagnesh? He asked peeking from his counter"

"He's too busy taking the classes, sir" Aayan spoke making Naadir nod a lil in understand

"Hi! Sir, it's nice to meet you"

"Nice to meet you too Krudha, what batch are you in?" Aayan spoke 

"I'm in the international batch" I smiled a lil and saw his eyes curl up a little with excitement, I guess?

"That's amazing! Im the one handling the international batch" he said dusting his shoulders

Okay? Am I supposed to be happy or scared?..cause this was the same dude who stood with that long stick and a strict look on his face looking at people like he would kill them if they made a mistake

"OH-uh-mhm" nic- p-pleasure to know sir..I guess I'll join from next week " I said showing my teeth in a fake smile

"No you'll be coming along from tomorrow" Naadir Sir spoke making me nod a lil

"Okay then let's catch up tomorrow bye" said Aayan as he left the room

I stood up from the chair and shook hands with Naadir sir one last time and left the class

I don't even know if I'm ready for this but good god all I know for sure is my life is about to go on a roller coaster journey or just become as calm as a pond. There is no in between
