Swara's pov

I opened my eyes at the sound of alarm and whined as I switched off the alarm. I looked around to see the other bed empty. As usual, Sanskar was up before me. I quickly got out of the bed and ran to my room. I brushed my teeth, washed my face and put my hair in a neat ponytail as I walked to the balcony to do my meditation. Initially I hated it, but it actually keeps me fresh all day and also helped with my nightmares so now I love it!

I saw Ramu Uncle, my yoga instructor waiting for me. We both quickly did few asanas and breathing exercises and then I bid bye to him.

I went to kitchen and prepared three cups of coffee, yes I can make coffee now! I saw Sanskar and Angre coming inside the home after their jogging. We all three sat at the balcony having our coffees. Of-course only I get the swing and they both sit on chairs.

Sanskar was wearing a vest, while sipping coffee I kept secretly stealing glances at how hot he looked. Just a harmless crush! I told myself the millionth time and then we all dispersed to start our day.

I took a shower and wore a skirt and top. I brushed my hair, wore earrings and walked to my second favorite place in the house after balcony. The big mirror in the corner of the corridor. I twirled in-front of the big mirror and blew kisses to myself before walking to the dining table.

"Is there any audition today?" Sanskar asked as we three sat. "Yes Boss, there are two today", Angre answered before me. "All the best!" Sanskar wished me and I muttered 'thank you' before we all started eating.

I post song covers everyday and have gained a decent following on social media. Whenever there are auditions Angre is the one who picks and drops me. I go for any audition almost 3 to 4 days a week since the past one month. I haven't received any calls back but I haven't given up. Initially I wondered what work does Angre exactly do but then I came to know Sanskar appointed him as my bodyguard, driver, PA literally everything. It is crazy how I have a PA even before I become a singer! Perks of having a rich friend.

After Sanskar left for work, I watered all the plants. Oh the garden looks lovely with all the flowers! I then went to my room and quickly recorded a song. Initially it used to take me a lot of time to choose a song, practice it and record it multiple times but I have got a knack of it now. I maximum spend only 30 to 45 minutes lately to choose a song, sing it and record it. I posted the video and I immediately got a notification.

SM liked your video

I smiled, it was Sanskar's handle. He always likes my video first, even before Maa and Dida. I prayed to the small lord Krishna idol I had in my room before leaving for the audition with Angre.

I finished my first audition and then went to the second one. There was a big queue so I asked Angre to leave and told I will call him when the audition is over. After a long hour my turn came and I sang one song.

"Can you do one more song?"

I was surprised but I sang another song.

"Wait for half an hour". I nodded to them and walked out. I sat on a chair trying hard to control my excitement. This is the first time I have been asked to sing another song and have also been asked to wait. Usually it goes like I sing a song and then all I hear is, 'next!'

I kept praying and hoping I get a chance, more than half an hour passed and finally someone came near me, "You can leave Mam". I blinked my eyes but then nodded silently and got up to leave.

I came outside and saw the busy road of Mumbai. I took my phone and called Sanskar. I silently waited as the ring went. "Hello", I heard his voice and immediately hot tears pooled my eyes.
