Manik

"Manik manik manik" everyone started hooting when I enter the stage.

There was so much crowd in the hall. All the media portals and every journalist were present. My parents and Nandini were sitting in the front raw with other producers and industry people.

Mukti Didu didn't come because she doesn't like crowd and media. She was never part of this industry since starting. She was determined that she wants to be a doctor only and thanks to God dad let her be. She used to tell me 'Manu dad humesha sahi nhi hai' but what should I do I can't neglect him or say no to anything.

"Clapping rukni nhi chahiye. We have Manik Malhotra on the stage" the host Sameer loudly said on the mic and the clapping sounds increased.

"I'm your biggest fan Manik" He gave me bro hug and I reciprocated.

"Thank you....and thank you guys for coming here for me" I said on the mic to Sameer and the crowd.

My wife was cheering loudest for me and I chuckled. Mom was equally excited and clapping for me. Dad was silent as usual but a smile on his lips.

"I Sameer Roy welcomes you to your own album launch" he said and I chuckled.

We were on stage and on it's back wall there was my album's poster which was covered with veil for now.

"Thank you, bro" I replied smiling at him.

"Let's start now" he said on the mic and when I nodded a girl came with tray which has remote to unveil the album poster.

I gestured Nandini to come on stage but in return she shook her head making me frown. I step out of stage and went to her.

"Come" I said bending over up to her level holding her hand.

"Papa or Maa should do this" she whispered still sitting making me frown and Mom Dad looked at us. I looked at my parents and they gestured me to take her.

"You are doing this" I said and pulled her hand. she stood at her place.

"They may feel bad" she whispered when I was smiling looking at the cameras. No one should now what is happening here.

"Lagne do I want my wife to do this for me" I said sternly clenching my jaw. She looked at mom and when she nodded my wife held my hand and we reached to stage.

We were at the left side of stage. Nandini took the remote from the tray and smiled at me. She turned to look at the poster and I back hugged her holding her hand. she looked over her shoulder at me and pressed the button smiling at me. I saw my mom taking Balaye.

The poster unveiled and everyone started hooting. Media flashes started coming to us and the poster. I was at the poster with my guitar and Channa ve written on it. Mom was clapping at her place and dad was clapping too with smile on his face.

"Congratulations" she said looking at me and I intertwined our fingers.

"To you too" I replied and side hugged her kissing her head. The click sounds increased more and more.

"Guys, did you like the poster?" I asked the people in the mic and everyone started hooting with more enthusiasm. I put my hand on heart showing them gratitude.

"I would like to request our journalists to start their questions" Sameer said on mic and Nandini walked out of stage to sit on her place again.

"Sir, what is the reason behind the name Channa ve?" one journalist asked me.
