The Naivety Of A Heart (Original Unedited Version)

Chapter 42- Beneath The Stars......

Thank you for all the love and support. Honestly, I didn't thought that this book would be loved like the first one since it reflects more harsh cruelty of our world then I portrayed in the first one. But seeing the success and ranking, I am really happy and more than touched. Thank you so much guys.

Stars! When we say this word the only thought that creeps up in our mind is the twinkling light of the dark sky along with the moon, which provides it's shine throughout the night. But something more beautiful is that it's not just the stars of the sky that provides us a light, it is our own soul which is the hidden star of our lives. It is always seen around that, people who forget the value of life chose to hide themselves in the darkness by leaving their humanistic side. They kill the real star in them by accepting defeat, but the real challenge is when we live in the world and face all the obstacles and let the star in us win, because each of us have that inner divine beauty which knows how to fight and shine amongst all, but the only impending thing is that in the hectic path of life, people tend to forget their own selves and resort to the most heinous of activities which hurt others. In their own created animosity they let the light of their heart and soul be transformed into a sinful body which commits only sins that too, without remorse. While there is a perfectly different set of people too, who let the star in them shine providing it's brightness to everyone around, and the only choice one has to make is, that to whether bring out the star beneath them or let the star in them fade away with time.

Sweat covered her face, as her eyes were focussed on Aayush's dark orbs which were docile. A sinister smile formed on his lips, as he studied the horrified face of Sonia who was wiping her sweat. Every eye was transfixed on her, as they all waited impatiently to hear the confession but she her voice was blocked in her throat as she found it hard to gather herself up.

"Ms. Kapoor, Are you willing to reveal the truth or not, because clearly your lies aren't appreciated here". Aayush taunted reminding her that everyone was waiting for her to speak. She looked everywhere and then her eyes landed on her mother, who was sitting in the corner with a hateful look on her face.

"Ms. Kapoor will you speak or not because clearly we aren't going to entertain the murderers over here". One of the female judges pestered totally annoyed by her long silence.

Aayush gave her a victorious look while she stared at him with disgust, then turning her head, she took a good look at Raisha who was witnessing everything with a blank look on her face.

"Miss. Sonia will you speak up or not? We want the confession now or you will be penalized in the case of fraud along with murder and I am sure, the foreign authorities aren't going to make it easier for you. So you better spill the truth". The Australian lady ordered explaining the conditions of the penalty of the contest.

Basically the Indian dance shows were all about, dancing which started with a dance and ended on a dance, not caring about the other facets of the contestants and at time they even included the bribing by several people but in case of the Global Dancers, sever penalty was imposed by the Foreign authorities on those who were found guilty for anything or for lying which they end up confessing in the panel, that is why the contest was deemed to be one of the most dangerous contest of the Dance Industry because only the master brains who were the true dancers survived due to their honesty as well as civility to life.

"I......pushed...... someone in the sea". She confessed fumbling on her own words while Aayush stood up from his place, clapping his hands as he got what he wanted. He stood in the front scrutinizing the audience as they gasped in shock, after hearing the confession of crime.

"And I am not at all in a mood to hide the fact that, that someone wasn't anyone, but my own wife Raisha Singhania who was unfortunately working for me at that time". Aayush revealed exchanging a painful look with Raisha who closed her fists on her sides recalling those heart wrenching memories in which she was fighting a battle of life and death.
