Happy endings! Just as fairy-ish as it sounds , as unreal it is!
Do you believe in happy endings?! You do right?! But have you thought about endings that were not happy?! Endings that gave rise to new beginning's?! No?!
Well then here it is!
Anot...
Do you know what it feels like to be successful?! To feel like no ones superior than you are?! Like all the worlds dying to be at your place or rather jealous and envy that you are there but not them. Great?
Wrong. It feels shit! It feels utter shit.
You are always surrounded with people buzzing around you. Everyone wants to know what's going on in your life as if there's nothing called "Personal"; like that term had just vanished from the dictionary and was replaced by " Public". Anything and everything done was noted. And mistakes. There were no chances for them. People were just waiting to catch you doing something wrong and even if its as small as breaking a damn glass, they make it a god damn breaking news! And then?! Then you have questions. Why this happened! Why that happened! Sometimes I really don't understand why people can't mind their own business.
Its my life! I'll deal it the way I want to. That simple!
So you might have just guessed how pissed off I am at the moment. And before I get carried away again, let me just introduce myself.
I am Manik. Manik Malhotra. Lead singer of Fab Five (an already hit with six albums published and dealing with the seventh) and added to that I am also the head of the Q label Music (formed by us, the fab five).
Well the job seems easy enough but trust me it isn't! Being the head is just not an easy job and specially when you have to make songs on one hand and do maths and deals on the other. And what makes it all the more difficult is the fact that, I have started to forget things lately. Well, I didn't have an accident or anything of that sort though, it was just that I couldn't take so much. It had been years that I rather we had been doing this but these days I just needed some space. I didn't want monotonous days. I wanted something new! But what?! I didn't know. Some changes are always good aren't they?!
"Manik! "
The door to my room swung open and Cabir stormed in the next moment. His face had weird expressions and I knew I was at fault.
"Kya hua! " I asked being pulled back to reality.
"Kyahua!! " he literally screamed.
"Bro chill" I said pushing the bottle on my desk in his direction.
"Aaj.... Symphony Industries ke CEO kesaathtera meeting tha!!... And that damn was 2 hours back.. And you are sitting here!... What the hell is wrong with you!? " he said walking up and down the length of the room and banging his fists on my table at the end of his statement.
"Oh shit! I forgot!! " I said and shot up from my seat. I was panicking already. This deal and sign up was really important. I was in deep shit!
"Maine kitnabaar bola tujhe ki ek personal assistant hire karle!.... But you just don't listen to me! "
"Cabir I don't need any girl to take notes about what I have to do next! " I said showing him my hand as a stop sign to cut it out.
" Really!.... Last week you forgot to sign the cheque and then you remember that payment drama.. And then--"
"Fine!... But I don't need a P.A. " I replied in defence looking away.
"Manik.....niche everyone is so pissed off at you.. And somehow I have managed another appointment with Symphony"
"Cabir yaar--" but he shooed me waving his hands in "go away" manner before he spoke again,
"Yeh dekh! " he said placing five photographs on the table which he took out from his pocket.
"Yeh kya hai? " I said looking down at them.
"I have shortlisted them... Just choose one! " he said folding his hands close to his chest.
"Cabir--" but he wouldn't let me talk this time.
"Sabke bio kinda same hi hai... And they look pretty enough.... So just"
"Fine! " I said and looked down at the pictures having no other option left. I glanced at each picture and then in another five minute's I knew whom to hire.
"This! " I said pushing a photograph in his direction.
Cabir picked up the picture and looked at it.
"You liked this Indian stuff! " he said and chuckled.
"You shortlisted her... And either ways I guess she is sober enough.... And I don't want non stop blabber mouths so.... "
"Cool.... She'll be here tomorrow " he said , picking up the rest of the pictures and soon left the room.
And with I had someone to tell me what I'll be doing next. Great. Life was getting amazing day by day.
