"Morning sunshine." I heard Jay. I didn't realise when I slept last night. I groaned remembering last night.

"You slept on the mattress?. My room's condition is bad. Its 12 in the afternoon Jake is being calling for long.  Are you okay?" Jay blabbered. I didn't hear anything what he said except one word ,Jake.

"Huh? Call Jake back." I murmured to him. My eyes were still heavy and  it hurt to open.

"But why is the house in a mess?" He asked again.

"I will tell you everything but first call him." I told him. He called Jake from my cell and handed it to me.

"Hello.."

"Kiara were you sleeping ?" Jake asked.

"Yeah.. Was not well yesterday."

"Even he wasn't..." I heard him murmur.

"Huh?" I asked.

"Meet me.. I am missing you." He told me.

"Jake.. Now I am so far away from your hostel .I can't come now." I told him.

"Tonight will you be coming to navaratri at kohinur?" He asked.

"Okay.. But how will I find you?" I asked him.

"Hmm... in the front, the biggest group ,I will be there. Will you come?" He asked. I sighed.

"Okay.." I told him. I hung up and then told Jay about everything which happened yesterday.

"What... He thinks you and me?" Jay asked... I nodded.

"What did you find about Krystal? Where is she?" I asked Jay. He sighed.

"She is stuck Kiara. I somehow tried to talk to her. But she denied even knowing me." Jay told.

"Tonight I am going again in search of John . Now he is the only way I can bring Krystal back home." Jay told.

"Even I am coming along." I told.

"No Kiara Shah.. I know how much you like garba. Go meet Jake and play until your legs are dieing." He told in order to lighten my mood.

"But I wanna come.." I told him.

"No Kiara .Cai is coming along with me.. Don't worry and trust me . That place isn't safe for you where I will be going looking for John." He told me.

"Are you sure you will find John there?" I asked him.

"Yes.. I heard one of them talk to him yesterday." He told. I nodded.

"Be safe and call me..." I told him.

Rest of the day I went for navaratri shopping. I bought a red classic ghagra choli, (a traditional costume worn during navaratri) and other accessories.

By 7 o'clock in the evening I was ready. I wore my hair down in waves, and had bright red lips, dark eyeliner, mascara, blush, eye-shadow. In all I made sure I looked good.

I took a taxi to the kohinur ground  where Jake asked me to come. Paying the entry fees I walked in. So beautiful. Everyone was either enjoying to the beats played or dancing. Everything was colorful. Everyone was dressed colorfully. This festival brings color to people's lives.

I walked straight to the very front where the drumist and singer sang on the stage and looked for the biggest group. As the place was crowded it was a bit difficult to find it but I finally did. I walked towards the group.

"Oh my god." I gasped when I saw Mr.Agrawal playing garba and he was just not only good . He was very very good. He was wearing a white shirt and was very sweaty but still playing energetically. I saw Jake sitting in the middle of the circle enjoying the dance.

I did knew that Mr. Agrawal was good with dancing but didn't knew he was good with garba as well.

I walked towards Jake ,kneeled down in front of him and hugged him. He was smiling from ear to ear. I pecked his cheek which he didn't like but anyway I wanted to. He was wearing a cute navratri costume (kedyu).

I gave him a death glare.

"Don't look at me like that... We play for God. Anyone can come. Who am I to say no." He said informing me so that I would not scold him for bringing Mr. Agrawal. It seemed like Mr. Agrawal didn't notice me as he was still playing garba.

"Come on." Jake told and pulled me in the circle where garba was being played.

I started playing. A smile instantly came to my face while playing. Me and Krystal use to play garba like crazy people and were always excited about this festival. We always use to pre-plan our dresses and buy them. Even accessories, shoes everything. We used to specially go to places to buy our desired dresses. We used to doll up in the nine day festival (navaratri). I missed her.

I didn't notice that somehow I was beside Mr. Agrawal and was trying to match up his energy. He played really fast I was trying to match up with him and then the beats changed into the beats were couples dance. Or else you dance with the person next to you.

Mr. Agrawal, maybe didn't notice me, because he pulled my wrist and started playing. With so much force and speed that he made me take two circle and I was about to fall. And then the thing happened which I feared the most. He saw me and shrugged me away. The hatred for me was back. I lost my balance and fell down. But where I fell ,there was a piece of broken bangle which entered my foot.

I screamed lowly but loud enough for Mr. Agrawal to hear and he hastily kneeled down in front of me looking at my leg. I shrugged his hand off and removed the piece of glass from my foot. It hurt as blood started flowing from my foot.

"Kiara." Mr. Agrawal started. I instantly stood up and again joined the circle where everyone was playing. It hurt to play.. But I was used to such pains during navaratri. Because the fun I had playing garba was more than the pain.

Then I was being literally pushed out of the circle by one and only Mr.Agrawal.

Yes I know I have changed Kiara's surname because I wanted them somewhere close that is Kiara from Gujarat as 'Shah' and Aarav from Rajasthan.

Double update in a day.. Because I love you all so much....
