What's Written In The Stars [H.S]

Part 26

«Outfit 👆»

"And we would like to call on stage a group of young people who have choreographed this entire show! Please welcome, The Dazzlings!" yells Karan on the mike and a huge cheer follows. We are still standing back stage and we watched all the performances which turned out to be awesome with the lighting, smoke and fire effect.

We all look at each other, our eyes gleaming with happiness and a sense of accomplishment. The girls are tearing up where as the boys have genuine smiles on their face. This is the biggest show we've ever performed and right now we are really proud of our hard work and effort.

"I can't believe this!" exclaims Kiara.

"Me neither!" shrieks Nora.

"Let's go!" says Mohan as he walks out hands in hands with Shakti.

Similarly all the couples in our group hold hands and walk out. Aliya with Jay, Nora and Yatan, Kiara with Ali and Shakti and Mohit. Aditya and Ayush were the only ones who were single. So I took Aditya's hand in mine whereas Salman took Ayush's.

Salman looks at me and laces his fingers with mine. I look down at our fingers and smile up at him. He kisses my forehead and pulls me with him as we walk out on the stage.

All of us walk up to Karan who is smiling brightly at us and motions us to stand next to him. We line up on his right side. The crowd cheers even more loudly and we take a bow. My heart beat increases and tears fall down my cheeks. Though, it's only the first show but for me it's the beginning of something great.

"And also let's call on stage our lovely celebrities who have worked very hard to give you an amazing show!"

I look backstage and see the entire dream team coming on stage with huge smiles on their faces. They all line up in Karan's left side. As they line up we all hold hands and together we take a bow. It felt amazing.

"Until next time Houston!" yells Karan in his euphoria, into the mike.

With that, we all start walking back stage where the crew congratulates us for giving a stunning performance.

"Let's go out!" says Varun as we head towards the back exit.

"Yeah, sure! But first let's go to our hotel." I tell him. Tom had instructed to leave the center as soon as the performance would get over for security reasons.

"Yeah okay, let's meet up at Karan's room first. Then we'll decide."

As we get closer to the exit we could here huge amount of chattering, screams, shrieks and clicking sounds. I stop abruptly as I get a dejavu. My grip on Salman's arm tightens and he looks at me with a worried expression. Everyone else rushes out and are being literally hurried out of the doors.

"What's wrong?" he asks.

I simply stare the door. He looks at me and then his mouth forms an 'o'.

"Hey, hey. You don't have to worry okay. I'll be right by your side. And plus look, there's a lot of security and they're stopping the others. They won't crowd around you, baby." he holds my face and looks into my eyes.

"Sir, Ma'am, we have to get you into the car." says a guard from behind us.

"Ready, baby?" his eyes filled with concern.

I nod my head, not being able to say a word. Salman holds me close, as he puts an arm around my waist. I feel my heart palpitate and my palms start getting sweaty as we move closer and closer to the door.

As soon as we get out, we are ambushed by questions and the bright clicking lights. But thankfully, there are barriers on both the sides of the door and guards standing at equal distances. I sigh inwardly and Salman rushes me to the waiting black minivan.

We get into the back seat and as soon as the door closes, Salman lets out a slow whistle.

"Are you okay?" he asks me, his hand never leaving mine.

"Yes, I am." I smile at him.

"Did everyone else leave?" he asks as he looks back. There was no other car behind.

"Yeah, I think we were the last ones leaving." I tell him.

Just then my phone beeps. I take it out and see I've received a lot of texts. I open then one by one till I reach Dads.

Pops: All the best kiddo! I know, you'll all be great! Miss you.

I quickly reply to his text and then move on to the next one.

Harry: Great show Aditi! It was awesome! The boys and I loved it. And I had also bought a special someone. She loved it too!

A smile forms on my lips. A special someone?

Me: Harry! I'm glad you guys loved it!🙈 I was so nervous. Who's the someone special? 🙊

He replies immediately.

Harry: Oh I won't tell you. You could meet the special someone, you know.😝 Let's go out and celebrate!

Me: I hate suspense😑. Yes, we are planning on celebrating. I'll text you the details, okay?

Harry: Sure, love. We'll wait.

We reach the hotel and go directly to Karan's room. Salman directly opens the door and we could hear a lot of chattering as if someone is arguing. We get into the hall from the corridor and then Katrina speaks, "Let's just go for simple dinner."

"Hey guys!" I tell them and their heads turn towards me.

"Hey!" they all say in unison.

"What's the plan?" asks Salman, as we move towards the middle of the room and sit on the carpet in front of the sofa with the others, since the sofa and the two couches are currently occupied.

"Katrina says we should have plain dinner and Aditya agrees on that." says Nora as she rolls her eyes.

"Well, what can you expect from the old man?" I say sarcastically as I look at Aditya and he rolls his eyes as he says, "Not me, Him." he points his finger to the other Aditya.

"Yeah, I mean we want to celebrate, but we're just tired from the show. Just want to go to a quiet, calm place." says the other Aditya.

I see most of them rolling their eyes.

"I agree with them, that's cause I'm old and tired and you're not! You guys are young. You should be out celebrating!" says Karan in an encouraging tone.

"You know what, I'll back out. Since no one wants to have a simple dinner, I'll have it myself and might go to bed early." Katrina says in a slightly dim tone and gets up from the couch and walks towards the door.

"Oh come on!" says Varun.

"Don't you wanna have fun?!" exclaims Aliya.

"No you guys carry on. I'll join you some other time." says Katrina as she walks out of the door.

Everyone is quiet. We look at each other with confusion on our faces. And then Aditya slowly gets up and even he walks out the doors.

"Okay. That was weird." says Siddhart.

"Anyone else wants to walk out?" ssks Mohit.

Again there is silence.

"I know a great place here, let's get dressed and leave in thirty minutes. I'll send you'll a location. Okay?" says Varun as he gets up. We all get up and go to our rooms to get dressed.

As soon as I get in my room with Aliya, our phone beeps.

"That must be the location." she says as she unlocks her phone and walks to her bedroom. I do the same. I immediately send the location to Harry as I plop down on my bed and he replies immediately.

Harry: We'll be there in 20.

Me: Great! See you! And the special someone.
