5: Uninvited mess

The interview was going well until one of the interviewers asks about his personal life.
"Sir, I wanted to ask the reason behind your sad songs. You have sung some amazing sad songs..so from where do you get those emotions which are portrayed in the songs? Also Tera Zikr has completed four years. How do you feel about that?"

Hearing that Darshan's friends and manager have a shocking face. They know Darshan is not prepared to face that question. All of them looked at each other with a 'what to do' kind of face. They know somehow they have to get him out of this situation. They cannot see him suffer again. But in reality he has been suffering, each and every moment.
And they look at Darshan who sits quietly without any answer. His face has turned pale. But his friends know what is happening inside his heart- he is reminded about the biggest nightmares of his life.

Darshan thinks, 'I knew some one or the other would ask me this question. I knew I had to face this, but still I don't have an answer. I don't know how to react. This is why I didn't want to do the interview'.

His chain of thoughts are disturbed by the reporter's voice, "Sir...we're waitinh..for an answer."
Even though there is a tsunami of emotions going inside Darshan, he somehow replies, "well, when I compose a sad song then melody just comes naturally. Actually none of the composers really know from where we get the melody of the song. And when I'm singing for some other composer I generally listen to what the composer or the director is trying to convey... yeah... that's it. And I'm very happy that Tera Zikr has completed four years and still it's getting love from many people"
Darshan faked a smile for some photos and left from the venue.

Siddharth, Jugyal and Hardil are in the same car with Darshan. Even though all friends are together, there was pin drop silence in the car. Darshan keeps looking outside the window- he is lost in his own world. He is physically present in the car, but mentally he is engrossed in his own thoughts.

"Darshan", Jugyal calls.
"Darshan... come... we've arrived let's go home", Jugyal adds.
"Darshan where are you lost?", Hardil questions almost shaking him.

"Huh!...what?"
Darshan is suddenly shaken by his words.

Siddharth says," Hardil, Jugyal...you both go home I'll manage"
"Are you sure?",both of them enquire in unison. They are worried about Darshan.
"Yeah,I'll manage", Siddharth assures them.

After Jugyal and Hardil left, Siddharth slowly goes beside Darshan and almost whispers, "Come Darshan... come... let's go inside."
Darshan absent mindedly nods and goes inside with Siddharth. They see Divya sleeping and Reena kaki caressing her head. She leaves as soon as they enter.
Darshan did not want Divya to stay alone, so he told Reena kaki to stay with her.

"Siddharth, you stay with Divya...", Darshan said without even looking at him.
"No, I'm not going to let you be alone. I know what's going inside your heart. I know you since we were in college..I know what you've gone through in your life..."
Siddharth could not complete because Darshan hugs him the next moment.
Siddharth is his best friend and also he's as good as a brother to him. Darshan is very emotional but he's definitely not someone who can easily express his feelings. But Siddharth knew him so well that he understood everything even if he did not say anything. Well, that's what a best friend does, right?

Coming up in the next chapter: why did you leave me? I'm tired of this... can't you come back to me? To us? I miss you....
