Raasleela ✔

A/N : Before reading the chapter, I would suggest to listen to a couple of songs for better understanding. This chapter is less of reading and understanding but more of feelings the lyrics!
PS : RK fans will know it.

Songs :
Woh Kisna hai
Rang Prem Ka
Bholi Bhali Radhe
Radha ke Sang mei Aaj
Kya ho Rha, Kyu Ho Rha
Dekho Re Aaya Govinda
Radha Kaise Na Jale

"Prem mei jo doobe...
       Priyatam ke rang mei, woh rang jaye"

The stage opens and walks in a silhouette, holding a flute. Everybody's attention turns towards the start of tonight's event.

Joh hai albela madnaino wala
(The one with gorgeous eyes)
Jiski deewani brij ki har baala..
(The one for whom every village girl is crazy)
Woh Kisna hai...
Woh kisna hai...
woh kisna haii haii.... vo kisna hai..
( He's Lord Krishna)

A few guy dancers circle around Sumedh, who was all decked up as Krishna.
The audience was awestruck at the sight. He rightly represented the God himself, looked like he was made to portray this role.

The spotlight changes to the left side garden where girl dancers dressed up as Gopis dance.

Krishna sees Radhe performing and gives a grin. The spotlight follows as Sumedh as Krishna teams up with the guys, grabs a chunni and enters the raasleela going on, making sure nobody suspects him.

Paane ko hi Prem Priya ; Rache niranli Maya..
Prem Piya ke roop mei dhakar Prem gali mei aaya..
(Dresses in girl's outfit for her lover and enters )
He tries to move closer to Radhe but fails since many Gopis were around her. He years to have a closer view of his radhe.

Ek jhalak paane ko Priya ki
Ek jhalak paane ko Priya ki, Lakh jatan kar jaye
( In getting a glimpse of priya, he makes millions of efforts) Priya (pri-y) - lover

He finally catches a glimpse and blushes at the sight. She looks dazzling and danced gracefully.

Rang Prem ka... He joins her dancing.

Rang Prem ka chadhe toh koi rang nahi bhaye
Nahi bhaye re bhaye re duja rang nahi bhaye
(If the color of love rises, then no other thing in life affects )

Radha aka Mallika finally sees Krishna, the most naughiest and annoying guy in her life. She whines and moves towards him with a warning. But before that, he grabs her wrist and turns her around. Radha gives him a glare and walks away with her sakhis.

Krishna takes a pebble and throws towards her, causing it to land near her feet. Radha looks at him and gives a blank look and walks away. Krishna follows her quickly and holds his ear as in apologising for his deeds.

Radha, being the sweetheart forgives him but as soon as she starts to walk, he pulls her hair and giving her a teasing smile.

Ugh.. Radha groans and runs away.

( The following song plays throughout the act :)

Bholi bhali Radhe ko sataye ye murari,
(Krishna teases poor innocent Radhe)
Pehle sataye phir manaye yeh murari
(First teases, then pacifies )
Kare chedkhani aur chidhaye yeh murari
( Flirts and teases )
Apne hi Mann ki lagaye yeh murari, bholi bhai radhe ko sataye yeh murari
(Does everything to his own will no matter what, and teases Radhe)

As Radha starts to move away from Krishna, he takes out his flute knowing Radha can forget everything, but not the melodious flute.

Flute plays..
