"Kareena!"she violently shook me to wake. Struggling to open my eyes, I saw her, she was all dressed, black jeans, hot pink t-shirt which read I ❤ VARUN,I mean, what level does this obsession go, she wore sandals, her hair packed up, make up on, looking to my side, Tanya wore same, except her t-shirt was in white and she wore red trousers, she was in front of the dressing mirror applying her make up,
"You sleepy head, get up! We're almost late," she screamed. I nodded, strolling to my ward robe, I reached to a plane tee and jeans,
"I knew you would want to go as some plane Jane, but take these,"she handed me a black tee and ripped.
"Hell no!"
"Pleeeeeezse,"I turned the top in, seeing it had the same inscription like the others.
"I'm not his fan, an obsessor,  or lover, I cannot wear these,"there was a knock on the door,
"Come in," Raghav appeared with the same shirt but his was blue.
"Ragha...."I was cut short when Zara,  Sonia and mom walked in.
"So aren't y'all ready?"
"Kareena has been sleeping, come with me,"she pushed me into the bathroom.
"Hurry and put these on,"she ordered. I did as she said, she might be younger but once she grows impatient, even dad will have no control. I wore the ripped and top, totally hating myself in the top, she pulled me back to the room while she did a touch up on my face.
"Good, we're all done,"
"Your father's in his room, so all of you need to hurry,"mom said.  I was clearly lost, I followed the or every move,
"Stop!"I heard my father's voice from across the hallway, down to the living room, we all were in a line, our bodies froze, not turning not moving, just still, his heavy footsteps sounded closer and closer until it stopped, telling us he's behind us. Still no one moved, little Sonia had her eyes bulge out of their sockets, dad can lose his gut when he's being lied to, and to make it all worse, I'm a part of it,
"Face me" we found the courage to move our bodies now. "I know you're going to no dinner, you're wearing his t-shirt,"he pointed out, granny came out too, she wanted to speak to him but he stoped her.  Sonia held tight to my top.
"Why did all of you lie? Even you Kareena?"I bit my lower lip looking down, I hated being a disappointment to him."did you all think I'd ruin the fun?"our eyes flashed up to him, did...did he ....did he just say that?"be home before 12,"he added before leaving the room. Sonia ran across the room to hug him tight.
"Thank you grandpa,"she said smiling,
"Of course,"he had a  glance at me before walking away. I held on to her hand,
"Bye mom,"
"Have fun."she said. Fun....in Varun's concert...huh....that's far from impossible.  Remembering my bet with Tanya made me smile, having her car will be quite a catch. We got into Raghav's Toyota hatchback, seatbelt on and we were on the road, with a screaming and squealing Supriya. I rolled my eyeballs multiple times, but of what use was it, she was still gonna scream. Approaching the concert, colourful lights showed from afar, loud noises and cheering, Raghav found a suitable spot for the car and then we all climbed out, heading to where our tickets were collected.
"Kareena, you three will go inside, Zara and I will hold on to Sonia, so she doesn't get lost, "I nodded, but before I knew it, Tanya and Supriya were already going inside , the crowd was too much I could get lost and I can't afford that. I ran after them,
"Geez, why did you all leave me?"
"Sorry but we need to stay in front, I need a closer look at Varun!"Sukriya said, I shook my head, there was no saving her form her dreams.
"Why haven't they started yet, it's already 11, and father says we should be home before 12,  before is now, "
"Oh Kareena, how do I explain this to you...um....Varun wont be coming in any sooner, he's a star, he need a his time, to make that glorious hair of his eye catching, and his..."
"Dont! Don't go any further,"she can list a zillion things about him, which I clearly don't find interesting.
Other stars performed, but I'm sure they weren't as popular as Varun. He's made a concert in London once, don't blame me, amidst her blabbering,  I still pay attention to her. Once it was 12, the lights went dark, spotlight on stage, the music blaring  from the speakers.... I need to see, to watch and to know what gave him multitudes and obsessed fans like his. ...the smoke on the stage covered it all, and began to clear away revealing him, the all and great....no according to his fans...Varun Dhawan, see ladies screaming, jumping, Supriya and Tanya were not left out, they nearly fell to their feet. You can see him waving , that proud smile on his face, he smiled as whatever it was finally brought him to view from underneath the stage, gosh, display of wealth, not like we don't have money....I remember the Intro to his song......from one of his album, according to Supriya, it was a hit song for his best friend on his birthday....not an issue, the music began to fade as he drew closer to the stage, we gave a hand movement to tell his outrageous fans to keep down,
"Hello Mumbai! "He screamed, again making them to increase their screams. Waving his name on coloured cardboard,
'Namaste Mumbai!"he screamed again, dude, we get you,
"I need all of your attention guys,"he spoke this time, in a more serious tone, I could see the surprise on their faces, they must be wondering what must be so serious, even I want to know, what would make a flirt like him entirely serious.
"Have I gotten it?"he asked, still maintaining his smiling and flirty expression, I turned around to see them nod like lizards or more like robots, or people under his spell, which they obviously we're, including my poor family, so sad.
"Choonki main thodee der ke lie chala gaya hoon" since I'll be gone for a while...he began, you could here the awws in a sad way, where would he be going?
"aaraam karen" relax. He said it when he realized how unstable the crowd became. "Main aaj raat ke sangeet kaaryakram ko sarvashrehth banaoonga,"he added. I'll make tonight's concert the best. The crowd became joyful again, whistles and clasp and cheers, wow, they really do love him.
"aapako bahut pasand aaega" you'll love it! he screamed this time around making them jump up snd down in utter madness.
"Are you ready!"
"Yes!"
"Tum taiyaar ho!"
"Ji! "
"Who do you love?"he screamed, this time using the stage, walking from end to end.
"Varun Dhawan!" They responded, moving along with his flow, I'm sure this is his way making the crowd happy after his last statement.
"Who do you love!"he asked again,
"Varun Dhawan!"they responded.
"Tum kise pyaar karate ho!"he screamed, this time putting his hand behind his ear...the music rising...making the crowd go nuts, smoke on the stage  becoming much...I could only clap along, I wasn't his fan...so...but no denial, this song had been on my favourite list, I loved it since the first day Supriya sent it to me while I was in school, she was always fond of sending all his albums and links to his movies, the last i watched...em...October, hes a good actor.
"Hum Varun Dhavan se pyaar karate hain!"
"Lets go!"he said, his dance crew jumped out of nowhere, their concept was too good,  it's the best I've seen, their moves the song...Happy Birthday.. I found myself joining Tanya and Supriya in their dance.

Main, tu, mere yaar, tere friends
Teri girlfriend, Teri ex
Teri girlfriend, ka ex
Kyu ho gaye saare junglee
Kyu ho gaye saare junglee
Kyu ho gaye,  ho gaye, ho gaye,
Ho Gaye saarey junglee katthey

Aww...tera happy birthday

Oaaj toh party jabtak fatte

He sat at the edge of the stage to sign the second verse of the song, he's good but that doesn't mean I'll start following him like a spirit, watching and stalking him, no, I'll stick to his song, Supriya and I have our dance steps, for every song, she eventually gave one to this very song, and that i.e. what we displayed down there, swaying our hips, using every energy in us. ..the surprising thing was how he had other stars join him on stage, like this was a going away party for his fans, I must say, I didn't waste my time at all...it is worth it. My favourite part is the chorus, I waited a bit until he was done with that verse. He makes the song so worth the hype, now I'll reduce the taunts I give to Supriya and Tanya and any Varun Dhawan fan I know.

Aww...tera happy birthday

This time he turned his back and fell unto the raised hands of the fan, they kept pass I him down screaming as they touch him, all the way to the middle of the crowd,  where he jumped down, and they created space for him, and he started dancing, he really has surprised me with how good he is, I'm impressed. At least, a play boy with brains. A star singer rapped the second part but when he resumed the crowd went wilder, each star had a turn after him, this was too good, every good, excellent, I love the energy he's using. He took on this part, after running back up the stage

Saare bolo, happy birthday
Zor se bolo, happy birthday
Aawajni aayi, happy birthday
Thoda loud holo happy birthday
Saare bolo , happy birthday!
O phir se bolo, happy birthday
O happy birthday
Oye happy birthday

This time he reduced his energy smiling and using his acting skills, demonstrating,

Aww...kai alas
Aww...tuza naam kaa he
Aww...aaun Chou
Aww...aww!

Tu chale mein cholun
Tu rukke main rukun
Apne toh daily hain naye naye hungaame
Tu girre mein thaame
Mein girru tu thaame
Apne toh daily hain naye name hungaame
Jo teri deal hai
Wo meri deal hai
With you o buddy mujhey aati yehi feel hai

Main, tu, mere sir, guru
Tere girlfriend,  Teri ex
Tere girlfriend ka ex
Hai ek thaali ke saare
Hai ek thaali ke saare
Hain ek thaali, ek thaali ke
Ek thaali ke chatte-batte

One more saal puraani ho gaye

Khudiya thi pahele ji
