The dancing competition

The Bhosale college of Excellence
The day had just started to fold out. As Isha walked in the college, she saw students excitedly talking with each other. There was a rush. Some students ran through the corridors to their changing rooms, their costumes swaying in their arms. Others were already wandering nervously around and some were rehearsing their dance performances for the upcoming dance competition.

Isha was here invited by Shantanu and as she held a great position in the teacher's community she rightfully was allowed to attend the competition.

Walking through the college space with all strange students lost in their own world, Isha's eyes searched for a recognizable face. She walked a few steps ahead, not looking where she was going when she stumbled over something on the floor.

Just as she was about to fall down , she felt strong arms holding her by her upper arms in order to save her from falling. She looked up at the person. Seeing him her shocked faced changed into one with a smile, her eyes flooded with love for her son, Ishan.

Ishan looked into his mother's eyes feeling a sense of warmth and love which her eyes showed towards him. He took a deep breath and gently let go of her arms.

"Aap sambhalke chaliye, are you okay?" He asked with concern in his tone.

"Main thik hoon beta, thank you." She said, her heart filling with joy at the realization that her son cares for her.

"Tum thik ho, Ishu?" She asked as she knew that Ishan was going through a lot right now.

Ishan nodded yes with a faint smile on his face. Isha also smiled a little , understanding the fact that he didn't want to talk. Also it was better to forget about the problems on this day of a celebration.

"Isha?" Shantanu's voice came from behind Ishan. Ishan turned to see his father, while Isha moved her face a little to the side.

Shantanu smiled at the fact that both , mother and son had the same expression on their face. He walked towards them with a smile on his face, feeling immense happiness to notice the growing bond between Isha and Ishan.

Shantanu said to Ishan: "Ishan, tumne mujhe phone par message bheja tumne ki tumhe mujhse koii important baat karna hai, toh uske liye hi main tumhe dhoondh raha tha jab tumhe Maine tumhare aai ke saath dekha."

Ishan nodded nervously at him, trying to decide how to tell or more likely ask his father about the question lingering in his mind.

"Uhh...haan baba, baat toh karna tha aur accha hua Dr. Bhosale ki aap yaha milgayi, kyuki baat aap dono se related hi hai." He said eyeing his mother.

Isha and Shantanu both frowned a little in confusion. Shantanu looked from Isha to Ishan: "Haa beta bol nah."

Ishan took a deep breath and started to let out his concern to his parents:

"I wanted to say something regarding the dance competition. Woh hamne yeh faisla liya tha ki dance competition mein youngsters aur elders sab participate karenge. Pehle individually dance hoga aur phir ek dance couple ke beech mein battle hoga."

Isha and Shantanu nodded at Ishan's word, not being able to understand why they were needed in this conversation. Ishan after looking for a while at his confused parents, continued:

"Toh maine kuch teachers ko poocha tha to take part and two of them accepted also, but pata nahi on the last moment unhone plan cancel kardiya....toh matlab mujhe request karna tha ke...uhm...Kya aap dono dance competition mein part lena chaahenge?"

As soon as Ishan asked his question, Isha choked and began to cough, while Shantanu's eyes grew wide at this question. Ishan looked at his mother confusingly and then at his father who stood there confused not knowing what to do.
