Song of the Chapter: Pashmeena, Fitoor
-------------------------------//-------------------------
Team Space, T3M and Samrat reached the venue of Friday Lights Live, which changed every week. This week it was snowy Dormers Wells, lit up with fairy lights at avenues, lightening up the otherwise dark evening.
Everyone got out of the car, and took a minute to just appreciate the scenic beauty in front of them, it was Southall at its best.
Alya and Dhruv snuggled into each other, while Cabir and Mukti made faces looking at them and Navya smiled.
Samrat started clicking photos, his favorite Polaroid at the ready, currently focused at Raichand and Malik, who were busy in talking to each other.
Nandini was smiling brightly, she loved Friday Lights Live. It was one place she could completely let loose, and be with her first love, dance.
Nandini's mother had taught her how to dance, since she could walk. She was born with a dancer's grace, everyone used to say.
But after her mother passed away, she just gave up dancing. Never spoke about it. It was like a part of her died.
After returning to London from Mumbai, it was Anika who convinced her to start dancing again, find her lost rhythm. And she did, eventually, after months of trial and error.
As she was smiling brightly, soaking in the atmosphere around her, Manik was lost in her, unknowingly smiling, she looked so at peace. She looked like she was home.
Manik realized how many parts and spheres of Nandini's life he wasn't aware of. Her entire childhood, her life before the accident, everything. This just gave him more encouragement, he had to win her back, win her trust back. And he would.
"Mrs. Murthy used to bring us here, Nandu, Ayan, me and...and Rehaan."
Samrat said, almost reminiscently, as T3M nodded with a soft smile, and this time Raichand wasn't angry at Samrat for taking his name, he was just missing Amma.
Fab5 and Navya noted their sadness, they were now getting to know Ayan, Rehaan and Samrat well. They could tell how close they used to be with the Murthys and Oberois.
Just then, people began trickling in, gathering around the street, waiting for the surrounding Church's bell to ring, the indication that the dance-off had begun.
There were no rules, no regulations, nobody monitoring the dancers, just people who wanted to dance, and people who wanted to enjoy.
Samrat had set up his camera, not wanting to miss out on recording this experience, the Southall experience.
"Jaa Murthy, jee le apni zindagi."
Raichand said, pushing Nandini towards the street, while everyone laughed.
Manik's heart kept beating in anticipation, Nandini and dance, it would be a treat for sore eyes.
