Forever yours

Chapter 35

Arika's pov:

"Is this real" my voice barely above the whisper as I saw them in front of me.

I can't even say how content I was feeling. My supporters my whole family they have come for me? I thought and looked back at avyan

"They are here for you for your performance" avyan said sensing my question.

My in-laws my family including Radhika and yashveer, everyone is present here.

"Maa" I murmured and ran towards her she embraced me in her arms

After that dadi, then siya maa one by one I met and greeted everyone

"Beta, do not worry, we know you'll do great" siya maa encouraged me

"Yes bhabhi, you'll rock it" luv said, I smiled at their gesture they have so much hope from me, now I have to give my best.

"Participates please take your seats" I heard the announcement

"Di, go you are being called" Arriya said and everyone wished me good luck and I went from there.

I took my seat. I saw all the family members sitting on third and fourth row. Elders on third and youngers on fourth, but avyan was not there 'where is he' I thought and roamed my eyes around but couldn't found.

"Let's call our special chief guest of today's great grand dance competition. Mr. Avyan Raghuvanshi of raghuvanshi co. enterprises" I jerkly cocked my head towards the stage where anchor was standing with mic.

Boommmm!! Another surprise, avyan is the chief guest. He stepped on the stage and looked at my shocked face but quickly distracted his gaze. He took the mic from the anchor and gave a small speech, then went back to take his seat *not before locking eyes with me for few seconds* (⁠｡⁠•̀⁠ᴗ⁠-⁠)

He took his seat straight in front of the stage. Three judges arrived and gave their speech, after inauguration almost 45 minutes the performance starts, mine is on second last.

Total here are 12 people performing solo dance and group has another. Firstly group dance will pe perfomed then solo.

That mean I have lot of time to overthink to fidget with my fingers, to bite my nails and to make myself less confident. Sigh*

My phone popped with avii's message notification, I tapped open it.

Avyan:

Don't overthink, be relax

Arika:

I am not. I am fine.

Avyan:

Be confident. I am here

I bit my lower lip at his message.

Avyan:

Stop bitting your lips only I have the right to do that

I smiled and glanced above to look at avyan who was already staring at me.

After 30-35 minutes group dance was over and now it was time for solo performances. As the time was passing, my heart rate was increasing. I looked at avyan who was looking at the stage a girl was performing. But he distracted his gaze when he felt mine on him.

He gave me an assurance look and smiled. I took my phone and sent him a text message

Arika:

Why the hell are you looking at that dancer with so much concentration?

I clicked the sent message and looked at his reaction when he viewed my message, he stroke his index and middle finger on his lips resting his thumb on his chin, maybe trying to control his smile.

Arika:

Do not stroke your lips only I have the right to do that

I sent another message, he looked at me with amusement.

Avyan:

Okay now I'll only look at you

He texted back. I didn't replied on that text and focused myself on the performance.

†**************************†

I was only three performance far after that it will be my turn. By the passing time my nervousness was going on peak. I want to throw out, I am urging to it.

In between I looked at avyan who is the man of his word as he said 'I will only look at you' so from past 20 minutes he is countinously staring at me rather than looking at the female dancers on stage, which was making me more nervous, he has hell effect on me. I got distracted by the announcement.

"Next is suhana" the anchor announced, my performance is after this .

I got up from my seat and giving a last glance to my family before the performance, who showed me thumbs up and victory sign from their hands, I smiled back at them, then I looked at avyan who was staring at me already from last 40 minutes. This man will be dead to me.

He passed me a warm, comforting smile which was enough for me to encourage myself and to perform and give my best. I took smiled back and went to backstage.

Author's pov:

Arika was roaming in backstage bitting her nails and praying to every possible god.

"Next performance is of Miss. Arika Khurana, give a big hand applause" the anchor announced, arika closed her eyes once and walked towards the stage.

Avyan's pov:

The curtain opened revealing the prettiest lady 'My Rose' she was turned around in her position her back was facing the audience. The song started and she spun at the beat and the lyrics.

As the dance started the people from background which is my crazy family were hooting and clapping, they have booked the front row seat paying the extra money and now I got to know why.

Arika was dancing very gracefully. She was stunning at the stage her moves, her expression the was she was dancing according to the lyrics and beat with so much confidence. She was doing Great.

I heard some clapping sounds beside me, I don't wanna distract my gaze from her but curious to know who was so impressed by her. I cocked my head and to my surprise the judges were clapping. They hadn't done for anyone till now.

I redirected my gaze on her, I know she is a well trained a perfect dancer, but she killed today she literally owned the stage. The sone came to end, she was twirling like flaunting her beauty, I saw all the judges and another chief guest including me, my family and the audience everyone stood up and gave her a standing audition as she dance needed.

She thanked by bowing down I gave her a proud love filled flying kiss without anyone knowing, in which she smiled and left the stage.

Author's pov:

After a last performance all the participants were done and judges were discussing the result. Avyan excused himself from them and walked outside, towards the alloted room of arika, he was only half way when he heard a voice

"Aviiiiiii" arika shouted from little distance, she ran towards him lifting her skirt till her ankles with her hand and throwed herself on him wrapping her arms around his neck.

He hugged her back holding her from her waist and make a twirl. She giggled, she lifted her face from his neck and slammed her lips on his, she was kissing him passionately, he kissed her back and turning, pinned her to the wall still kissing he pinched her lower lip, she hissed and parted her lips avyan took the lead, sliding his tounge, they were eating each other lips..........

"Aaaaaaaaaaaaa" someone screamed
