           "Everything's gonna be alright
           Everything's gonna be just fine
            It's gonna be a good, good life.
                 I'm a mess, I'm a loser
                 I'm a hater, I'm a user
    I'm a mess for your love, it ain't new
           I'm obsessed, I'm embarrassed
             I don't trust no one around us
   I'm a mess for your love, it ain't new"

             Annie was singing 'I'm a mess' song by Bebe Rexha . The crowd was going crazy. They were singing with her. The band played their role perfectly. Annie was singing freely unaware of what's coming in her way. After few songs, she ended the concert. Now she was giving her fans autographs and clicking pictures. Media was also present there. She gave them few answer.

           One of the reporter asked,"Mam, we've heard that you're finally ready to reveal your identity, is it true mam?"

           Annie was confused first. But she ignored thinking, it might be some fake news to make her answer.

           As always she replied him,"Goodbye and Sorry". She left the place with her team and headed to their studio. All of them were already exhausted and needed sometime to relax. They had to catch a flight for Delhi as they had some concerts and interviews there.

          On the way, they were continuously being disturbed by some phone calls. Thinking, it might be related to some other interviews and concerts, they kept their phones on silent.

6 p.m.
The Glass Crew Studio.

          "Guys, turn on the News TV, fast." Evy shouted. They all left their work and switched on the TV. The News channels were filled with Annie's news. Everywhere, the breaking news was going on.

         'Breaking News- Annie has finally accepted to reveal her identity' 

        'Delhi News conveys that Annie is going to have a interview with them tomorrow. And she said that she would tell her fans every detail about her.'

        'Annie is ready to speak about her real name, her family, her past, her relationship status'

        'Fans are really excited about her this step.'

         "Shit. Shit. Shit", Annie threw the side lamp on the TV. Roy and Lisa came to her side to calm her down. Evy was continuously trying to call Mr. Joshi who was the head of Delhi News.

          "Annie his phone is switched off", Evy informed her.

        Annie ran her fingers through her hairs. She was really frustrated with this.

       "The hell, why are they so obstinated to know about my life? I am doing my best in music. Why aren't they happy with it? What's the need of interfering in my life?" Annie asked them.

          "Listen Annie, first you calm down. We'll solve it together.", Jacky tried to calm her.

          "You know what Annie, people are like that only. They always want to interfere in others life. They are always interested in other's sorrows. " Lisa said.

          "Exactly. You're hiding which means you must be having a outrageous past too. And that's interesting for public.", Evy said.

         "Yeah and media is taking advantage of it. If you tell them your story, their TRP will go double." Roy said.

          "They just need some spice. They would do anything for it." Jacky said.

           "Should I cancel the interview now?" Annie asked.

            "No way Annie, you aren't a coward. Go and face it. Just like before leave the interview in mid if asked anything personal." Lisa told her. Annie agreed to it.

             "Umm. I dont think he would do that meaningless. I think he has a plan to make you spit out." Evy guessed.

           "Why do you think so Evy?" Jacky asked.

           "I have heard about him. He is too smart. He would even do anything illegal to gain TRP. He has his own ways." Evy told them.

           "Why did you have a deal with him at first place when you knew this things about him?" Roy asked.

            "He was giving a good amount for the interview. And I didn't expect something like this." Evy nervously told them.

            "It's okay. Lets get ready. We've to reach airpot in 2 hrs. Lets deal with him tomorrow." Annie was not going to be a coward and neither she was going to answer him.

             "Let's see what you've planned Joshi", Annie smiled.
