Hearts United

The Show

Kabeer's POV:

As I got out of my car at the entrance of the Blue Heaven  hotel where our show is going to be held, the camara flash lights of the reporters hit my eyes. The media is infested at these types of shows or events.

I walked inside greeting all known faces and soon spotted Ankur with Tommy my manager in the corridor. I went and greeted them too with a small smile.

"Bro, do you think everything will work out well?"
Ankur asked me in worry.

"Ankur don't worry so much man. Everything will go fine"
Assured Tommy with a smile.

"Is Sanjana and the others ready?" I asked Ankur.

"Yeah we met them back stage, ours has got the fourth slot" Tommy answered and I nooded to him.

We three went in and sat together at our reserved table.  Tommy said in anger.
"Kabeer look, Annie's with
Mr. Han sitting right at front"

As I looked, I saw her evil smirk when our eyes met. I just fisted my hands on the table and glared at her. She will very soon pay for everything. I'll make sure of it. Mr.Han too gave me evil looks. They both whispered something to each other and laughed.

Ankur held my hand and gestured me to clam down.

My phone beeped with a message. I moved my eyes away from my enemies and took out my phone from my blazer pocket.

Sanjana's message...
"All is ready, don't worry we've got this!"

A small smile appeared on my face. This girl is something different. I've never seen such a understanding personality after my sister. Every moment she reminds me of my didi.

I took a deep breath and giving myself hope for the future.

"Hello and good evening to all you lovely people! I'm Shania your host for today. Hoping you guys enjoy this blissful eve and may the best fashion company win!" Said the pretty host standing on stage.

Ankur and myself glaced at each other with nervous and anxious smiles.

"Known for presenting the best trends and designs in bridal couture contributed by top designers, the Indian Bridal Fashion Week is one of the famous fashion events which is held twice a year. Heritage brands, Bollywood and Hollywood superstars and fashion trendsetters are all regular participants at the India Bridal Fashion Week.

This fashion show is the most popular destination for lovers of Indian fashion and wedding trousseau, and sees both established and budding fashion designers network with potential clients and leave their impressions on the wedding fashion scene.

The wedding has become an inherent part of the Indian fashion industry.

So let's begin the show guys...to start with Charlie's angels"

She announced and got down the stage whole everyone clapped and cheered.

One by one the models started to walk with elegance on the ramp waring beautiful attires.

"Kabeer bro, our designs are best compared to the ones here. I'm sure we will win this"
Ankur whispered in my ear.

I gave his smiling face a blank expression. I just hope his wish comes to reality.

My eyes met Annie once again and she smirked and looked away. I wish to go and kill her right now. But, I will kill her with her own actions and idea.
She thinks she is  I'm not letting it go that way.

Then came up on stage was Glamour fashions. They were good cloths, infact very good ones, like it gives good competition to Sanjana's.

Then finally they announced our company's name and my heart almost stopped for a  minute.

The light went dim and focused on the stage slowly one by one our employees started walking in front. Yes!!! My employees. It was Sanjana's last minute idea. She tought and gave practice to all of them. Nearly 25 of them walked I think better than the high paid models. And last walked up was Sanjana's.

She looked something more than beautiful in that maroon with gold bridal lengha. Hair let open in curls, dark but mate makeup...heavy yet classy jewellery. She looked no less like some goddess. I'm so happy and proud of her today.

She looked at me from on top and winked with a smile. Both me and Ankur gave her wide smiles with thumbs up. Tommy was up his chair wistling and clapping in joy.

They all stood together. A slight of happiness and pride took place in my heart for my company and employees. Today we proved that, if you are together in a work anything is possible in life.

I looked at the face of the judges and other dignitaries. All had impressive and happy expression. I hope they decide accordingly. Especially Annie and Mr.Han they were more than shocked. I think furious as well. This time I smirked and they were angry.

Once they got off and went. I needed to go and see Sanjana. I quickly got up and ran towards the backstage. Soon I found the room that was alloted to our team. I went in not even knocking. And she was stiiting on a chair. She immediately stood up looking at me, the others got up too.

I straight went grabbing her waist not caring about people around us, I surrounded her in my arms. I hugged her so tight.
She stood still not knowing what to do! I felt her breath catch up a moment.

"Thank you so much!"
I whispered being genuinely thankful.

She then let herself  her lose into my hands and hugged me back very slowly and replied softly
"Your welcome sir, I just did my job"

I broke our hug and held her shoulders looking straight into her eyes I said...
"You did more than you had too. If it was not for you, today my company could have been dumped qnd I would be on the roads"

She gave me a slight smile and moved herself away. I  realized and truned to look at everyone's confused and wired faces.

"Guys, I'm so greatfull to each one of you. Thank you so much from the bottom of my heart"
I said looking at all of them.

They smiled and said welcome in union.

"Kabeer sir, you gave me a job without any certificate...so I couldn't back off when you were in need"
Said one girl.

"Sir, you helped my mom when she was on her death bed...how could I say no to help you"
Said another with a smile.

"Kabs we all here are because of you. You have always been in our thick and thin days. Today we not only did this for you but for ourselves also"
Said Felicia with watery eyed.

I could just give them all a emotional smile.

"I'll meet you outside, come and sit with us once you change" I told Sanjana to which she only nodded.

I came out with a smile. I'm just hoping for the results now. Actually, one part of me is not worried anymore. If I don't win this time not a problem, next time I will but today I won as an owner of my company.
