Network Romeo Series

Chapter-XIV

It was surely the most memorable day of my life. I felt like I have achieved something.

"We have selected two kids from your school how do you feel?"

"Proud sir!! I feel like I achieved something impossible. Can I introduce you to Shalini?"

"Yeah of course. Carry on! I would love to see the girl behind the beautiful designs"

I called Shalini on the stage. Her face and the black gown shined in the camera light. She was growing beautiful day by day. I smiled at her and gave the mike to her.

"So you are the master brain behind these huh?"

"No sir! It was Yash and it was his hard work alone that made me stand here. All the Credit goes to him"

"You both look great together! I and Hans have got both of your information. We will surely contact with you in the future"

After that,we both got off the stage. I shook hands with both Christopher Nolan and Hans Zimmer. He still didn't say anything about me or my music but smiled at me. The other kids and their teachers who were selected got into the stage.

"So Shalini!! Thank you! For everything you have done for me. I don't know how to repay you!!"

"First repay the children by giving them the promised treat. I could see all of them waiting for you pagal!!"

"Why? Are you not coming?"

"I will be leaving for Rajasthan tonight and well......"

"What?"

"I have something important to say to you. But you shouldn't get angry"

"What is that Shalini??"

"You know the guy Prathik who proposed me na?"

"Ya I remember"

"He had come to my home with his family for asking me to be his bride. My parents phoned me to return"

"What???"

"And worse still, my parents like him and they also want me to marry him. They have fixed our engagement this week"

After hearing that I couldn't speak. I couldn't reply. I was shocked to hear that.

"Hey reply me Yash!! Why are you not saying anything!!?"

"What to say? You are going to get engaged and now you tell me?"

"I know about this now only pagal!! You think I will accept him?"

"Fiona said the same thing to me one day"

"Pagal!! You think that I am cheap as her???"

"No Shalini! What I meant was...."

"What you mean?"

"You once told that Prathik was a good guy so......."

"Ok fine!"

Before I could say anything she went inside the car and drove quickly without looking at me. I was not able to open my mouth. I regretted what I said!! I didn't know what to do. I phoned Mara about this, he told he will help me out. After sometime he called and said that Shalini was angry on me and didn't want me to disturb her. I couldn't sleep that day. My mind was filled with only one thought

"Shalini please don't leave me!"

The next day I went to Mara's home.

"Dey Mara she told that her Engagement is in this week. I am afraid da! Please give me a solution!"
