Arnav's eyes searched for her as soon as she climbed the stage. For a strange reason, her presence meant a lot to him and an involuntary smile came on his face as soon as he saw her in the exact front, cheering his name.

As soon as he started singing, Khushi's heart filled with happiness. His voice had a magic that soothes her heart, she could listen to his songs all day without getting bored. Arnav sang as usual but for the first time, he kept on observing someone simultaneously. Yes, he was looking at Khushi keenly. Everytime he changed a song, she would cheer louder which made Arnav smile in between his singing.

During his last song, he held Khushi's hand which was waving to his rhythms pulled her up to the stage. Khushi skipped a heartbeat when she realised his touch and heard him sing closer to her. She clapped her hand together to his beats and tried to remember the familiar touch she just felt.

"The guy in the cafeteria!" She suddenly remembered. She had shook hands with him.

It means, he was Arnav himself?

She was lamenting in her thoughts when she heard loud cheering and claps, the song had ended. She realised he holding her arms securely and guiding her to move. She moved forward and felt her best friend Payal holding her hand from the other side.

"Oh my god, Khushi!" Payal chirped. "ASR pulled you on the stage!"

Khushi's heart was still fluttering. It took her sometime to get her heart to pace normal. She felt embarrassed, she talked to ASR for so long and couldn't even realise that it was him?

But it wasn't her fault. She had only heard him sing. She had never heard his normal, speaking voice because he never gave any interview. He hated publicity and paparazzi.

"Shall we leave?" Payal asked and Khushi nodded.

As she walked out of the stadium with Payal, Khushi only thought about her meet with Arnav. Suddenly, she heard someone calling her.

"Ms Khushi?" Asked a person coming nearer her.

"Yes?" Khushi said politely.

"Someone wants to meet you. You need to come with me." He said.

"Excuse me!" Payal interrupted. "Why would she go with you. We don't even know you."

"Sorry, ma'am. I forgot to introduce myself, I am Aakash. ASR's manager. He wants to meet you."

"Khushi, I am sure he is an imposter." Payal whispered in Khushi's eyes. "ASR is a busy man, why would he call for you? But you don't worry, I'll look after it."

Before Khushi could reply, Payal yelled at Aakash.

"What do you think? We are fools over here? You'll say and we'll believe? Just because she can't see, don't think that you can take advantage of her. I am here with her."

"You can't see?" Aakash asked Khushi surprised and Payal noticed a genuineness in his eyes.  "I am so sorry, Ms. Khushi ASR didn't tell me this."

"It's okay, she is just possesive for me. I'll come with you." Khushi said politely.

"Khushi?" Payal looked at her.

"Relax, Payal. I'll be fine." She assured.

"Don't worry." Aakash said to Payal before he left with Khushi.

********************

"She's here." Aakash said as he entered Arnav's changing room.

"Thanks, Aakash. You may leave now." Arnav said.

Khushi held her head down after hearing the voice, as she was now sure that it was him who she met before the concert. She heard the door's sound and realised that Aakash has left now.

"I.. I don't know what to say.. " Khushi said, embarrassed.

"I need to say something. Be seated first." Arnav said as he made her sit on the chair. "Will you listen? "

"I can listen to you my whole life." She smiled as he sat in front of her.

"Khushi," Arnav started and Khushi felt her name has turned melodious all of a sudden. "Every thing that you said to me, made me so overwhelmed. I am all because of my fans and you are my biggest fan!  I am so grateful to have been met you who adores my voice so much, who doesn't even know how I look and admires me. From today, you are my special fan, Khushi."

Khushi smiled after he was finished saying.

"It feels great hearing it from you favorite. It really means a lot, ASR."

"You can call me Arnav."

"Arnav." Khushi smiled and his name suddenly felt magical to his ears.

******************
Arnav couldn't deny the attraction he felt towards Khushi. He started looking for her in every concert he did. And without a miss, she would attend all of them cheering for him. The fan and rock star slowly started becoming friends when Khushi started being comfortable around him. She had always been conscious in front of others but Arnav treated her normally. He took care of her but never made her feel like she was being depended on him.

They started to spend time with each other and talk on phone and those were their favorite time of the day. Everything was going so smoothly until oneday Arnav's celebrity status hopped in.

"ASR has been seen spending time with his someone special since past few days. If sources are to be believed, the girl's name is still under covers but they say that she is blind. Is this the rockstar's some publicity stunt? Or it's just his sympathy for the blind fan girl? Or ASR is really in love with her?

If this is true? Will his career be affected? Or will he gain more fans if he is really in a relationship with her?

Stay tuned for more updates.

The news that Khushi just heard on TV made her numb. She denied to accept but she was affected by her. Arnav meant a lot to him but she could no way risk his career and reputation. She didn't wanted to be his hurdle or weakness and now, she knew what she has to do.

Hola guys! I hope you like the chappy. What so you think Khushi is going to do now?
