HIS DARK DEMONS (✔️)

Chap 3

Nidhi's POV

I was scared as I went inside the audition room. There were many girls waiting outside the room for their turn. Some were listening the songs on mobiles or iPods while some were humming the music. I checked the list which was put outside the room and my turn was after about fifteen girls. I was so tensed. I too inserted the headphones in my ears and listened to the lyrics carefully. I also started humming the song. I was completely prepared but there was a different feeling of scariness. I wanted to get freshened up so I quickly went to the washroom. My turn was too far so I had nothing to worry about. I pulled out the face wash from my bag and washed my face. I dried my face with a towel and applied some light makeup to my face and left me washroom. I decided to go to the cafeteria to have some coffee. Walking through the way, I thought of calling Antra. I ringed her and she picked up the call on the first ring itself.

"Hey Nidhi, what happened?" She asked.

"Umm.. it's just that, I'm on waiting for my turn to come. So I was going to the cafeteria. I was wondering if you might want to join me?" I say.

"Oh! No, I'm good. You can go."

"Okay!"

"Yeah, and listen, you're auditions are gonna be good! Don't be nervous!" She cheered me up.

I went to the cafeteria and bought a coffee for myself. I sat on the chair placing my coffee on the table platform. I took a sip from the coffee cup while taking out my mobile. I took out the earphones and inserted into my ears. I started humming to the lyric of the song.

Darshan's POV

I was out to the cafeteria when I heard someone humming a song. I can recognize it as mine original.

Oh gosh. Her voice is just so mesmerising. I think it would be the best female voice for my new song. I have to talk to her.

As I walk towards her, she gets up with the coffee cup in her hand and as she turns around, she bumps into me. And damn, all the coffee was spilled on her pretty white crop top.

"Oh fuck!" She exclaimed.

"I'm extremely sorry. I didn't mean to do that." I apologise sincerely.

"Umm... it's okay! I'll just use the restroom to clean it up." She said worried.

"No, it's not okay! You dressed well, I suppose for a meeting. And now it's all messed up." I say looking at her tshirt. "There's a mall across the street, let me buy you something." I offer.

"Oh no! It's good. I'll just go home and change. No need to waste your time."

"No really, I'll get you something. I'm sure you're here for auditioning. And you might lose the chance if you go back." I say.

"No it's okay."

"But I want to help you, please." I insist.

"Don't you hear me?" She yelled. "I don't need your fucking help or your God damn money. Keep it to yourself and use it for a good cause!"

"Bu—"

"If you really wanna help, first learn to see and walk." She sassed. "And if you can't do that, you better sit at home!"

"And if you don't have the god damn manners to speak with someone, then you better keep your mouth shut!" I yell back and make my way back to where I came from.
