When Two Stars Meet

Chapter - 22. A Friend Indeed..

Shreya was looking here and there again. Advit held her from shoulders softly .

Advit : ( With soft voice ) Shreya , Hum dost hai na . Tum apne dost ki baat nahi maanogi . Please look at me for once .

Shreya looked into his eyes.

Advit : Calm down . Breath in , breath out .

Shreya follows him.

Advit : Tum ye mat socho ki tumhe camera ke saamare bolna hai, tum is tarah se socho ki tumhe tumhare designs ke baare me batane ka mauka milega joki na sirf India ko pata chalega balki puri duniya ko bhi tumhare ideas ke baare me pata chalega. Tumne kabhi khud ko apne design ke baare me baat karte hue dekha hai . Kabhi suna hai apne aap ko . Tum ek dum lag insaan hoti ho jab tum apne designs ke baare me baat karti ho. Wo insaan hi kuch aur hota hai darr, nervousness, anxiety in sab se dur . Wo Shreya bass ye jaanti hai ki use sirf uske designs ke baare me batana hai . That's it. Nothing else. Jab tum apne designs ki inspiration batati ho, tumhari ankho me wo ek alag si chamak hoti hai , baaton me dum hota hai , ek alag si khanak hoti hai tumhari awaaz me . Aur apne ideas per bharosa hota hai . Aaj bhi tumhe yahi karna hai .. Aur kuch nahi . Bass yahi socho ki tumhe tumhare ideas convey karne hai nothing else. Just share your thoughts in the same way you share in our meeting, among ourselves. Ohk..

Shreya was listening to all these with a smile and some tear in her eyes. Shreya was very overwhelmed with this gesture of Advit .

Shreya : ( In her mind ) Mujhe nahi pata tha ki kuch log aaj bhi hai jo dusro ki help karna chahate hai aur sach me meri help bhi karte hai .

Shreya : Aaj bhi duniya me ache log ahi , aapko dekhar ye yakeen hota hai . Aapne mujhe kisi ki yaad dila di , wo bhi mujhe ese hi motivate karte the .

Advit : Kon ? Aapka boyfriend ?

Shreya : Nahi . but bhut bhut special insaan hai wo bhi .

Shreya was still underconfident . Advit lifts her chin up .

Advit : Aise presentation dete hue aap achi nahi lagengi. A smile and confident body language will suit you more.

Tabhi Shreya ka phone baja . It was Riya.

On call.....

Riya : Kahan hai tu ? Sab tujhe dundh rahe hai . Sir bhi . It's your turn.

Shreya : Balcony me hu .

Riya : Thik hai .

Call ends .....

Riya , Harina came there running . They saw both of them having a conversation. Shreya has a habit of rotating her bracelet whenever she used to get tensed , it used to give her a sense of relief . But it's been more than 6 months that she lost that bracelet of hers. ( Bracelet that is now with Advit ).

Riya noticed all these . And held her left hand and she used to wear her bracelet in left hand only . Advit also noticed that .

Suddenly her phone rang again . She saw , it was Rakshit's video call.

On video call...

Rakshit : Kya hua ? Darr lag raha hai ? Heartbeat 120 se bhi jyda hai aur BP high low sab ek saath ho raha hai ?

Shreya nodded in yes in the cutest way possible.

Rakshit : Yaad hai jab tumne apne first client ko apna design batya tha joki bilkul unki pasand ka tha . Jab tumne us design ko complete kia aur tab unhone tumhe Thankyou bola aur yaha tak ki unhone tumhe invite bhi kia tha for their house warming party .

Shreya again nodded in yes .

Rakshit : Yaad hai tumhe uske baad mujhse milkar kya bola tha ?

Shreya : Hn yahi bola tha ki mere designs aur mere ideas mujhe kabhi itna khush nahi karte . Jo mujhe sabse jyda khush karta hai wo hai jab mere designs ke karan mere clients khush hote hai . Aur wo bolte hai ki Hum aapke kaam se bhut khush hai , hum satisfied hai aapke vision se aur usse bhi jyda aapke vision ke reality se.
