"Jiya fast Shankar Mathaka vochka ard ghante jatta thai vochaka"( we have to go to Shankar mut it takes half an hour to travel there) yelled Sunanda. "Adna Amma "( okay amma) reply Jiya, her voice muffled as she splashed water on her face. Like any other concert day she would pray to the almighty hoping for the best to happen( indeed something best was to happen).
Jiya's family was ready in the next 30 minutes .Wrapped in silks she stepped into the car that's when rain poured Sushmita called(a.k.a her wife(bestie)). "Hey Jiya, walking barthiya?"( will you come for walking?). "Illa kane Shankar mathdalli programme ide , naale sigthini aaytha?"( no bro I have program in Shankar mutt so I will be coming tomorrow). Within a jiffy they reached .Arrangements were done. She expected not many people to come because of the rain . But she was proven wrong. The audience loved her soo much that the rain did not bother them(did i say that she had fabulously performed at the same place). "Seetha Kalyaana Vaibhogame" , a beautiful piece of composition by Tyaagaraaja that brings a picture of 2 pure hearts ,Seetha and Raama's confluence,such grandeur right! .Thats when Raama a.k.a Surya sees his Seetha .The Hegdes were devoted audience ,but this was Surya's first visit since 3 years and this was because Mridula had threatened him to attend the event. (don't worry he is not an atheist, he is just lazy). As they took their seats Madhav appreciated" Such a pleasant voice, she sings like a Nightingale "Mrudula agreed "truly" Surya noticed Jiya's voice" okay "he commented quietly (so quietly that he himself couldn't hear is voice). Seetha Kalyaana Vaibhogame Jiya sung with closed eyes immersed into the song Surya was spellbound.
Her voice was like honey She swayed as she sung and the bunch of fragrant Jasmine flowers with which she had adorn her hair rested on her shoulders. "How beautiful! " exclaimed Surya's  heart but Surya shook it off .He fired the feelings of his heart to neutralize himself .Surya spectacled spectacular eyes tried to look at her for she shone like a goddess in that sky like blue saree. But like always,Surya looked  away as if he was shown a gun point if he looked at her. Finally the concert was over and it ended with loads of appreciation from the audience (for an artist this is what matters more than money) Jiya was overjoyed,
her parents were proud
and thus the day ended with some rainy clouds.
