Chapter 8 - Music Festival

Finally, the day had arrived for which Aryan and his friends were eagerly waiting. They had not slept properly for so many days, but all of them were extremely enthusiastic to show their musical talent at the Music Festival.

They all reached the venue before time and went straight to the room which was allotted to them. 

"Guys, we have to do our best. Don't be nervous. All is well." As usual, Sid was getting nervous and rather than motivating his friends was making them nervous.

"Bro, you implement this and stay calm." Aryan said while handing him water bottle.

"Guys, our performance is scheduled at 7 pm for today after the Chemistry department, so let's prepare accordingly." Rishi, their team leader, came in the green room.

"Where the hell is Mohit? Why isn't he here yet?"

"Rishi, calm down, Mohit must be on his way. He will be here in time. Don't worry." Aryan was trying to assure Rishi as one of their band members had not yet arrived.

"Bro. He isn't answering his phone. What's wrong with him?"

Meanwhile, Mohit called Rishi but when Rishi answered his phone, he shouted on the top of his voice.

"ARE YOU SERIOUS, MOHIT??????????"

Everyone started to look at Rishi. He shut the phone and sat down like a rock.

"Rishi, what happened to Mohit? He is coming, right?"

"This moron named Mohit had a lot of chicken wings and milkshake yesterday and is now hospitalised due to extreme food poisoning. How idiotic can he be?" Rishi was fuming.

"I was getting a bad omen since morning. I knew something like this would happen". Sid was talking with a zombie like expression. He was also in a deep shock.

"Why didn't you get any omen yesterday, idiot? Why didn't you stop that moron yesterday from eating chicken?" Rishi was furious and hence, Sid chose to remain silent.

Mohit is our lead guitarist, we can't perform without him. What to do now? This was the thought in everyone's mind. Nobody had predicted this kind of situation and so they didn't have any back up.

Rishi picked up his phone and started calling someone.

"Rishi, who are you calling?" Aryan asked by handing him a water bottle.

"I will have to talk to the committee head and tell him to cancel our performance. What else can we do?"

"Rishi, calm down and think properly"

"So, what to do now?" Rishi was about to cry but he controlled his emotions.

"Can you ask Harry to perform with us? I know you are not on good terms with him, but he is an awesome guitarist."

"How can he perform at such a short notice? Don't you know what kind of bastard Harry is?" Sid was definitely putting oil in fire and was making the situation worse.

Meanwhile, the music committee head came to their green room to ask them to come for sound check.

"Sir, we have a problem. One of our band members is hospitalised. I don't think we will be able to perform tonight."

"Are you out of you mind, Rishi? What will I tell the board members? People are actually waiting for your band's performance. Sort out your problem. I can't cancel the performance at the last moment." The committee head left the room without even listening to what these boys had to say.
