Beautiful disaster (completed)

Chapter 2 - The Concert

Kiara POV

It had been a while since I had stepped out of my comfort zone. Life had become a routine, a series of chores and responsibilities. But deep down, I knew Maya was right. I needed to break free from this monotonous cycle.

I lost her parents when I was doing my graduation. It was a time when I was supposed to be focused on my studies, a time that was meant to be filled with joy and celebration. Instead, it became a period of darkness and despair. It was a time of immense difficulty for me, as I faced the world alone. No one was there to offer comfort or support. I had to navigate through the stormy sea of life all by myself. But somehow, I managed to secure a job in the IT sector, hoping it would distract me from the pain that lingered within. The loneliness became a constant companion, a heavy burden that I carried with me wherever I went. It was then that fate decided to throw me a curveball in the form of Maya.

As I ventured into the bustling city of banglore, searching for a rental flat, fate intervened and introduced me to Maya. She had a vivacious personality and a warm smile that could light up any room. We decided to share an apartment, and over time, she became more than just a roommate; she became my friend. Maya, an airhostess, spent most of her time traveling, leaving me alone for fifteen days every month. And in that solitude, my work became my life.

The sound of my keyboard tapping away became the only melody that resonated through my empty apartment when Maya was not around. It was in those moments that I found solace in my work, my only true companion. Earning money became my sole purpose, the driving force behind my existence. I immersed myself in the world of technology, shutting out the world outside.

Maya, constantly complained about my reclusive behavior. She tried to make plans to cheer me up whenever she was home, but I resisted, locked within the confines of my self-imposed isolation. I began to question the walls I had built around myself, wondering if it was time to let them crumble. Maya's friendship had given me a glimpse of the warmth and happiness that lay beyond my self-imposed isolation.

 when Maya informed me about the concert tickets she had managed to get – the very concert I had longed to attend – I was overwhelmed by her thoughtfulness. 

The day of the concert arrived, and we could barely contain our excitement. We spent hours getting ready, carefully selecting our outfits and doing each other's hair and makeup. As we stood in front of the mirror, I couldn't help but feel a surge of gratitude for having Maya in my life. She was my rock, my confidante, and my partner in crime.

We hopped into a cab and made our way to the concert venue. The atmosphere was electric, with fans buzzing with anticipation. The line to get in seemed never-ending, but we didn't mind. We were in good company, surrounded by people who shared the same love for Abir's music as we did.

Finally, the doors opened, and we rushed inside, eager to secure a good spot. The stage was set, and the lights dimmed, signaling the start of the show. The crowd erupted in cheers as Abir appeared on stage, his presence commanding and captivating.

Lost in the music, I closed my eyes and let the sound wash over me. It was as if all my worries and fears melted away, leaving only the pure joy of being in this moment. The crowd around me swayed and danced, their enthusiasm contagious. I felt a sense of unity, as if we were all connected through the music.

Every note, every beat, every word sung by Abir felt like a lifeline. It was as if he understood the struggles and emotions that I had been grappling with, and through his music, he was offering solace and understanding. The lyrics spoke of love, heartbreak, and the complexities of life, resonating with the deepest corners of my heart.

The band played one hit after another, each song leaving me breathless and wanting more. Abir's voice was a force to be reckoned with, effortlessly hitting high notes and infusing every word with raw emotion. It was a performance unlike anything I had ever witnessed before.

Time seemed to stand still as the night wore on. The music became a soundtrack to my life, each song marking a moment of growth and self-discovery. I found myself losing track of reality, completely immersed in the world that Abir had created on that stage.

And then, all too soon, the final notes of the last song faded away. The crowd erupted into applause, begging for an encore. But as the lights dimmed and the band left the stage, reality came crashing back. The spell was broken, and I was left standing there, still in awe of what I had just experienced.

Walking out of the venue, Maya and I continued to talking about the concert. That concert was more than just a performance;  the ability of music to bring people together. And as Maya and I walked back into our apartment, hearts full and souls touched, we were reminded of that incredible night. I couldn't help but feel grateful for having friend like Maya.
