Live Concert
Delhi Stadium

            Annie was having a live concert on Delhi. The crowd was more than expected. Her story has increased her fan following. The crowd was more than crazy today.

          They were singing were her. They were dancing and jumping. They were hooting. They were cheering her name. The audience were most energetic today.

            It was time to end the show, she choosed 'Sadda Haq' as her last song of this concert. She was singing in her loudest voice today. She was exhausted after using so much energy.

      "Inn qataaron mein
yaa udhaaron mein
Tum mere jeene ki aadat
ka kyu ghot rahe dum
Besalika main, uss gali ka main
Na jis mein haya, na jis mein sharam
Mann-bole ke ras mein
jeenay ka harjaana
Duniya dushman sab begaana
inhe aag lagaana
Mann bole mann bole
Mann se jeena ya marr jaana !"

She lost her energy at this point. She knelt down there. The crowd was silenced. The band didn't stop the music. Evy went to give her water. She didn't even took it.

          After two minutes, the crowd started singing,
         'Sadda Haq aithe rakh
Sadda Haq aithe rakh
Sadda Haq aithe rakh
Sadda Haq aithe rakh
Na na na….'

           She looked at them with teary eyes. She couldn't thank enough The Lord for this love she was getting by the people.

          She got up and continue to sing,

          "Kyun sach ka sabak sikhaye,
           Jab sach sun bhi na paaye
           Sach koyi bole toh tu
           Niyam kaanoon bataye
           Tera dar, tera pyar , teri wah
           Tu hi rakh...                            "

After 30 mins

           She was going back to her vanity van. She was tired. Her team was packing everything. When she entered the vanity, she found someone sitting on the couch. Somewhere she was expecting them.

        She ignored them and took her redbull and started leaving to call the guards. "Annu, beta listen" her father tried to call her. "Annu is dead. Anahita Ishwar is dead. Did you get this?" She shouted at her parents for the first time in her life.

       "We are sorry Annu." Her mother tried to call her. "Oh you're sorry now?" "What are you sorry for ?" "For trying to destroy my career two times?" She asked them.

         "We know. We were wrong. We should have given you chance to explain. It's the society. They filled our mind with more hatred against you. Annu trust me we- " She interrupted her mother, "And you let them do it. You are talking about society. Who told them about me running away? Nobody knew other than my beloved sister." They looked down.

           "That day, you ruined my name by yourself. And you were blaming me for the humiliation. You, yourself told everyone about my runaway but you were blaming me." She told them.

           "Please, we know we have done a mistake. We won't hurt you. Please come back. We are family." Her father tried to convince her.

          "Family. The hell. I forgot you all. I don't care about you now." She lied to them.

          "Such a bad liar. You don't care about us?" Her mother asked.

         "I don't." She said.

         "Repeat that." Her father said.

         "I don't." She said.

         "Look into my eyes, now repeat that." Her mother said.

         "I dont care. Maa" she said. They smiled at this.

       "You don't care. Then why are you still calling me, Maa" her mother started crying.

       "I know you have secretly helped us financially many times in all these three years.Annu, we know you care." Her father said with teary eyes.

        "Please come Annu." Her mother requested her.

        Soon, Desai, Joshi and her whole team was their. They all started convincing her. She was neither listening nor replying.

         "Remember Annu, once you told me that you will wait for them. You believed they will come back to you and you will accept them. Why are you denying now?" A voice surrounded the whole van.

        Annie looked up. Seeing her, Annie ran to hug her tightly. "Kaki I was missing you so much." Annie told her.

        "Annu, it's time for a happy ending. Hug your parents and forgive them. You only told me that it's not their fault. They did according to what they heard. Come on." Kaki told her.

       She turned to look at her parents. She saw them crying. This was the worst for her to see her parents crying. She wiped their tears and hugged them.

      "We are sorry-" her parents were again apologizing. But she stopped them. "No more sorries. Let's skip those chapters." She told them.

     "How's Satakshi di?" She asked her. "You still care about her?" Her father asked her. "She is a sister to me after all." She told them.

     "She is married and we are not talking to her right now." Her mother told her.

     "Okay, talk to her as soon as possible." She said.

     "Leave her. Where is your guitar?" Her father asked her.

       She pointed on the corner. Her father brought it and gave her. "Play it, we will sing a song for you today." He said. She got emotional.

        "Okay Baba" she started playing the guitar. Her father started singing and everyone else started clapping and dancing with the rythm.

        "Aye dil laaya hai bahaar
apnon ka pyar kya kehna
Milein hum chhalak utha
khushi ka khumaar kya kehna

Khile khile chehron se aaj
ghar hai mera gule gulzaar kya kehna
Khile khile chehron se aaj
ghar hai mera gule gulzaar kya kehna

Aye dil laaya hai bahaar
apnon ka pyar kya kehna
Milein hum chhalak utha
khushi ka khumaar kya kehna"
