"Mom, Dad. How are you?" She hugged them.
"We are fine and we have a lot of expectations from you" Kiara's dad said.

"You.." Kiara exclaimed.

Kiara fiddled her fingers "I am very nervous. My parents are expecting me to win this competition. I....I don't know I can do this or not"
"Kiara. Forget about what your parents will think, what the world will think. Give your best and believe in yourself" Ayush consoled her.
"Sing from heart. You are not here to impress anyone you are here to express your feeling through the music" Neil added .

Kiara took the mic. She shivered a bit.
Her eyes met Neil's eyes, Neil notioned her to give her best.
Her lips played..

Yaara aa..
Manzilein ruswa Hain
Khoya hai raasta
Aaye le jaaye itni si ilteja
Yeh Meri zamanat hai
Tu meri amanat hai aa..

Mujhko iraade de, kasmein de waade de
Meri duaon ke ishaare ko sahaare de
Dil ko thikane de, naye bahane de
Khaabon ki baarishon ko
Mausam ke paimane de
Apne Karam ki Kar adaayein
Karde idhar bhi tu nigaahein

Sun raha hai na tu
Ro rahi hu main
Sun raha hai na tu
Kyun ro rahi hu main
Sun raha hai na tu
Ro rahi hu main
Sun raha hai na tu
Kyun ro rahi hu main
Yaara...

Waqt bhi thehra hai
Kaise kyun yeh hua
Kaash tu aise aaye jaaye jaise koi dua
Tu rooh ki rahat hai
Tu Meri ibaadat hai aa ..
Apne Karam ki Kar adaayein
Karde idhar bhi tu nigaahein

Sun raha hai na tu
Ro rahi hu main
Sun raha hai na tu
Kyun ro rahi hu main
Sun raha hai na tu
Ro rahi hu main
Sun raha hai na tu
Kyun ro rahi hu main...

There was a mist of clapping and hooting for Kiara. Neil wiped his tears and smiled at Kiara. She smiled back at Neil and Ayush.

"It's the time to announce our winner. May I please invite on stage the Nightingale Queen and a prolific singer Shreya Ghoshal. Please give a round of applause ladies and gentlemen"
She was handed the mic.
"Thank you everyone. I am honored to be here as a chief guest among so many extraordinary voices. Everyone was terrific. However, one voice was  different. And the voice is..."
She looked at the card.
"Kiara Nanda"
