DANCE COMPETITION

                Chapter -19

           ( Dance competition )

                    "Oh.....!!!!! So you both are dancing together ?" Fine. "Go die with her."my girl said. I kept calm without uttering a single word as I found that heat now is on extreme levels.

                       After knowing that its all out of possessiveness my girl was showing her anger on me , I decided to go and apologise the next morning. And at that night around 8.00 Pm I got a call from my Group Girls capitan,

"Hey AJ.! Sorry for calling  disturbing you."

" I got something important to tell you."

" I confirmed with dance sir that even two people can perform from seniors and it will be still considered as group." "So let us both perform."

I was completely shocked after listening this.

        My girl is already on fire and this performance will add more fuel to the fire. I was neither able to say no, as being a group capitan I need to lead my group.    

      "Okay ! We will talk about it tomorrow in the school." I said .While  my mom still had evas drops  on my conversation. As there were only landlines telephones those days, it becomes very difficult for me to talk with anyone. My mom always had some special interest on me in this topic, as she feel that some girl will surely kidnap me someday.

               This is one day before dance competition , I was unable to show my face to my girl as I decided to dance with my girls capitan on a latest hit of a Bollywood song " Kajrare" and I need to enter only last 1 minute in the dance and do few classic Amithab Bachan steps. I just tried to parry my girl as much as I can because she will definitely hit me with anything around her . As I have already once tasted banging of door on my face, I was not lenient to take another chance.

              The same day after the practice I went to class to take my bag, and my girl was inside the class writing some notes. This time I couldn't parry her. I went to her bench and stood beside her. I was a bit sweating , she stood up , took her hanky and wiped the sweat on my face .

I was almost on cloud 9 with her behaviour and felt I was foolishly running away from her untill she started speaking

" You people are practicing well I guess?" she said.

I smiled and said " Yes !!"

"Oh.....!!!!! So you both are dancing together itseems?"

I could profoundly feel the heat now.

" yes ,but I am I...."

she cut away the discussion immediately and said

"Fine ,Go die with her."

While I was still trying to explain the reason she took away her bag and moved out.  I was feeling very bad that I couldn't explain her.

              It is teachers day, I made my self available in school by 7.00 O'clock in the morning so that I could help out to decorate stage. My practice was not up to mark this time. And at around  9.40 am celebrations started with Rev.Fr.Ambrose Beck lighting the lamp. Each group started to perform. Our juniors group performed at there best and there was huge round of applause.

            And now my girl's Sapphire group was about to move on to stage and I saw she was talking with a guy , they both were smiling and laughing. I could read from far that he wished her luck and tapped on her shoulder.  " At that instant I could feel pain at the center of my chest and at once I decided that heart is neither situated to right nor left, it is at center because I could feel the pain there.

             I was passing through what my girl was going through all these days. I was not angry on her but I could just feel the pain which she was undergoing all these days. I was inside the class room just behind the stage and dint even notice our senior group name is announced and my girls capitan was performing.

          I was sitting on a bench with my head down on desk. And suddenly heard someone calling   "AJ!!!!" I opened my eyes and found our song was playing and I ran on to stage which eventually added charm and there was huge applause when I got on to stage. Two 10th standard students and a mass number will definitely set the stage on fire and I was giving my best, I completed my performance and came down.Everyone started to congratulate me but  I somehow tried to keep calm and went to my girl and congratulated her about her performance. she just gave a  sarcastic smile and went away.
