It was love at first sight for her. She saw him at the college. And immediately fell for the most popular guy in college. But deep down inside, she knew that she had no chance. He has a lot of admirers and she is just one of them. She can never hav...
Really? Come on I have been singing for this college since last year. Do I really need to give an audition?
"Yes, Dhara this is the rule. If you don't stand for the auditions then other students will think that the core members of the music society are partial towards them. Please co-operate little na..." Parekh said who was sitting at the registration table.
"Fine. I will audition."
"Dhara, you sing so well. Then why don't you openly showcase your talents? You sing so rarely for college events. I mean last year you participated as a supporting singer only. Whereas you are capable of leading the music show. People still don't know who you are" said Shilpa, my best friend.
"No, I don't like too much limelight. Just because of you and Ravi, I sang for this college last year. Otherwise, I would have never done that. Singing is indeed my talent but I sing for my enjoyment, my peace. Not for others okay. That's why I was hesitant towards the audition. I am not a SOCIAL person you know."- I said.
"Okay baba calm down. Its fine do whatever your heart says."
After the classes ended for the day, we went to the auditorium for auditions. I gave my auditions and came back home with Shilpa.
"Maa I am home. Shilpa is also here. Can you please make some CHEERER POLAO(poha in Bengali) for us?" "Sure Mishti. Before that, can you please check on bhai? He's busy in his new game."
BTW my DAAK NAAM is Mishti.
"Dharu, you know, you are too innocent and simple. See I am not disrespecting you, but you look boring. AISE TO TUM US NAYE LADKE KO IMPRESS KARNE SE RAHI."
"Don't talk about him at home Shilpa. If maa hears about this then meri padhai band ho jaani hain. Aur waise bhi, I do not have any intentions of impressing him or dating him. Let the other girls handle these things. I just love to observe him from afar. Okay you wait here for 2 mins I will just go and check on bhai."
Shilpa made a THIS GIRL IS MAD AF face while I exited the room. Bhai was playing with his phone when I entered his room.
"Shara din phone e dhuke thakish keno?"(Why re you on your phone all the time?)
"Didi what do you want? If you don't have any work for me or from me, please get out. I am busy playing a game which clearly you don't understand. And also, you are invading my privacy okay. Next time if you want to come to my room, please knock. You don't even know basic etiquettes."
JEEEEZ these genZ kids. Sometimes I can't even understand them. When I enter my room, I see Shilpa standing beside my study table with a diary in her hand.
"SHILPA! DO NOT TOUCH MY THINGS!"
"OMG DHARU YOU REALLY LIKE THIS BOY HUH! Tune to kaha tha you don't want a relationship... but this diary entry says something else. MANN MEIN KHAYALI PULAO PAKAKE RAKHE HAIN TUNE."
Shit. Shit. Shit. Shilpa knows :'). "Shilpa see please don't tell anyone. I was just overthinking a lot when I wrote this. Raat ko sone ke liye overthink karna padta hain. I cant help yaar."
"Okay fine. Why are you worrying? I will not tell anyone. Calm down. Chill a bit. Come lets complete the assignment."
NEXT DAY
"The results for the auditions will be out any minute. Come Dharu lets check the notice board."
"Shilpa I am nervous. What if I am selected?"
"What? Stop it Dharu come out of your social anxiety. You will get selected and for god's sake STOP BITING YOUR NAILS!"
"But I-"
"Shut up DHARA"
"Okay sorry"
"THE RESULTS ARE OUT DHARU!"
"No I cant check you go and see"
"Bitch...."
"OMG OMG OMG DHARU OMG YOU ARE SELECTED AS THE LEAD FEMALE SINGER!"
"WHAT?"
"YESSSSSSSSS. CONGRACTULATIONS"
"I cant believe this happened! Chall tujhe roll khilati hoon. Because of the good news that you gave me. Btw did you see when the practice will start?"
"Ummm yes from today only but after classes. And also, I am selected as the lead drummer. I knew I will be selected. Mera setting kiya hua tha...."
"Okay, wow! Isi baat pe ice cream bhi."
CLASSES ENDED AND ALL THE PARTICIPANTS WERE LED TO THE AUDITORIUM FOR PRACTICES
"Yaar hum sab 15 mins se wait kar rahe hain. Where is your male lead singer. Why is he so unprofessional on the first day of practice. Call him."
"Cool Dhara he will be here any minute."
"Why do you select such unproffesional peo-"
The auditorium gates opened and I saw a figure walking towards the stage. I might have seen this physique before. Brown eyes black hair Rolex watch on the wrist and...
HE IS ARJUN! THE MALE SINGER IS ARJUN! OMG! No I cant sing with him I will faint mid performance. I will withdraw. No no no no calm down Dhara calm down. Its all in your mind. Calm down

"Are you okay Dhara?" Parekh asks.
"Yeah I am very much fine."
Arjun comes up on the stage and Parekh introduces us. Of course I needed no introduction. He gave me his hand for a hand shake and for the first time, OUR FINGERS MET.
Then we started our practice. We sang together along with all other instruments. After 2 hours, we had our pack up for the day. While leaving the college campus, Arjun stopped by my scooty and said,
"YOU SING QUITE WELL. WE MAKE A GOOD MUSICAL PAIR HAINA? BTW HEY!"
So, I gained quite a few READS. I mean not so much. Just a few. And I decided that I should post the 2nd chapter. I don't know how you all will like it. If this doesn't work out, I will stop posting. Depends on how much people read my story. Please increase my read count if you all want chapter 3. Improvements are entertained. Please comment if you think something needs to be seen or improved. If you feel boring, comment that too. I will try to make it more interesting. Thank you so much.
