Melody of his heart

SELECTION

After the audition ended, I was so relieved. People liked my song, and that's all that mattered. Reem and Samar bombarded me with applause.

Now it was time for the result of the audition, and I was getting nervous. I was getting anxious as time was coming.

Aryan Bhaiya went to the stage. "Thank you everyone for your support for making this audition successful and now without any delay I would like to announce the selected contestants that will perform in the university music festival."

As he was speaking, my heart started racing faster and faster. I didn't even think about winning or getting selected. I just wanted to do it as I love singing, and also Reem and Samar forced me to take part. So how could I say no to them!

"There are total 10 contestants who are selected by our judges. So I would like to ask the selected contestants to come to the stage once their names are announced. So the first selected contestant is 'Nikhil Khurana'. Please come to the stage. Next contestant......... "

"And the last contestant is 'Naira Sharma'. Naira please come to the stage."Aryan said.

When I heard my name, I was so shocked. I couldn't believe I got selected. My body was frozen like ice. It was like a dream. There were about 50 contestants, but I got selected in top 10.

Reem and Samar hugged me and started jumping.

"You did it naira, you did it." Samar said.

"You're the best." Reem said.

"Thank you guys for your support, without you I couldn't have done it."

I thanked them. I was so happy that I needed to be on the stage as I heard my name being announced for the second time. I rushed to the stage and got in line.

"They are the contestants that will perform in the music festival, give a huge applause guys." Aryan Bhaiya said.

I looked at the audience as they were cheering. Cheering for us. It was one of the best moments of my life.

As I looked at the audience, I searched for the person who was sitting at the front and was so engrossed in songs. But he was not there. I searched for him in the hall, but he was not here. I felt a little sad, but never mind, this was the time to enjoy my moment. I smiled brightly as I was so happy.

After the selection, Aryan Bhaiya asked us to wait in the green room for some time as he had something to announce. Everyone was so happy about being selected. All of us were very excited for the music festival.

After a few minutes, Aryan Bhaiya and the person I was searching for came inside. He was looking so handsome. He was so perfect. And our eyes met, and my mind went blank as a sudden emotion struck my heart. I diverted my eyes from him to Aryan Bhaiya and started focusing on what he was saying.

"Congrats everyone for your selection. I am Aryan Sharma, the cultural president and this is Kartik Goenka, our cultural secretary. If you need any guidance then ask us freely. We'll help you by any means. So now we can start our preparation for music festival. So everyone let's do our best." Aryan Bhaiya said.

"So he is Kartik. WAIT HE'S KARTIK?? Huh, so this is the face I wanted to see for days. And the one who sang that day so beautifully which overwhelmed me was him, his voice." My thoughts ran again.

"Umm Hi." Someone's voice broke my thoughts, and I looked up at the person and was shocked.

"Hello." I said in a low voice.

'Why is he here? Why is he talking to me?' Aaahh, my thoughts. Naira can you focus?'

"I'm kartik. Nice to meet you." He said looking at me.
