"Chal chal Anu... Dance practice kar le... Ghar me tujhe kahan mauka milega na yaar prepare karne ka...", Devika pulled her along with her to the backstage of the auditorium.
"Par Devika yahan....", she looked reluctant as everyone was there.
"So what! See saare groups aur log yahin practice kar rahe hain... Chal ghungroo baandh...", Devika asked.
Anupamaa slapped her head. "Devika nahi hain........".
"Tere pass to the na...", she gave an unbelievable look.
"Haan... Hain matlb... Maayke me hain... Yahan... Nahi... To... Main.... Tsch!!", Anupamaa said all disappointedly.
"Koi baat nahii!! Aise hi dance kar le... Practice hi to hai...", Devika suggested and it was then only when a pair of ghungroo was held right in front of her eyes!!
"Tadaan!!!", Malvika said joyously ringing the ghungroo.
"MALVIKA...", both of them hugged her excitedly.
"Arey pehle hi din itna bhaav milne waala hai kya mujheeee..........", Malvika hugged them back.
"Mujhe... Bhot accha lag raha hai tujhe yahan dekh ke...", Anupamaa said all excitedly.
"Main to hoon hi itni acchi bhaabhii!!! Kyun Devika Di!!", she raised her brows.
"Ofcourse Mukku!!", Devika teased.
"Offo... Yahan to Malvika bula lo yaar... Sabke beech me kuch swag hai mera!!", she smirked.
Devika slapped her back. "Pehla din hai... Usme kya swag!! Koi jaanta bhi hai tujhe!!??"
"Arey ni jaante hai to jaan jaayenge! Vaise bhaabhi aap ye lijiye aur... Practice kijiye... Mujhe bhi aapka dance dekhna hai...".
Devika took the ghungroo as Anupamaa was getting nervous. She remembered how much of confidence she had to talk into Anupamaa before convincing her for it.
"Anu... Tu baith yahan...", she ushered her to a nearby chair, "Dekh tune jo bhi gaana prepare kar ke rakha hai ya pehle se aata hai uspar kar dena... Aur ye to koi competition ni hai na...".
"Haan par... Vo... Ss... Nervhous...", she rubbed her chest.
"Main hoon na... Aur college me sabne tere dance ki itni tareefein suni hai par dekha nahi hai... kyunki competition to doosre college me tha aur vahan to tujhe yaad hai na sabko kitna pasand aaya tha... To yahan bhi to sabko dikha de na yaar!! Aur phir humare juniors... Ye", she patted at Malvika's head, "Inko bhi to pata chale humari Anu... KITNAAAA accha dance karti hai! Aur yahan sab humare college ke hi students hain na Anu... Aur dekh sab practice kar re hain... Tu bhi kar...".
"Haan... Anupamaa... Please... Itne mahine ho gaye tere uss dance competition waale dance ke charche sune hue hume to chance bhi ni mila tha dekhne ka... Please ek baar kar do na... Please...", a random girl said.
"Haan please....", everyone around started saying in chorus.
"Dekh ek yahi to cheez hai jise karte vaqt tujhe bilkul sankoch nahi hona chahiye... Ye to teri kala hai... Tune itna accha classical seekha hai bachpan se... Apne ander band rakhne ke liye kya!? Kala hoti hai dikhaane ke liye... Sabme ni hoti tujhme hai tu mana kar ri... Ye le...", Devika convinced her in a low tone, knelt in front of her and tied ghungroo around her feet. "Ek minute chal mere saath!", and she took her aside away from everyone's stare.
"Yahan kyun laayi!?", she asked.
"Ek minute meri jaan....", Devika pulled out safety pins from her pocket and secured her saaree more properly with it. "Ye dekh... Ab tu kitna naach le ye jara nahi hilegi teri saaree... To iski bhi tension kahtam!", she rubbed her nose over hers.
