Chapter 38 | Zain

Zain

"Bite my lip and press your body against mine."

➽───────────────❥

Zain grabbed the jacket from his manager, putting it on. Sweat dripped from his face and he ran his hand through his hair. He was stressed, there was no doubt about that. They were going to call for him any second now. This is it, this is how his fate changes - for the better or the worse.
He knows that the entire stadium is booked, Kapoor Music has the best PR team and he has become a well-known singer with the launch of his first album only.

That's why the stress is enormous on him, it is like he is pushing himself to perform well. He doesn't want to see the disappointment in Kiara's eyes, that is a feeling he can't live with.

"Zain! The show is getting started! You are needed on the stage!" he hears one of the workers say and he sighs.

He can do this. He can fucking do this.

He just needs to trust himself. He knows how to sing. They love his songs - that is why they are here.

He will be just fine.

With that thought, he runs towards the stage, grabbing the mic from one of the workers and then, he exhales and steps into the stage.

"Your eyes pull me close, Asking me to stay..."

He starts and the crowd cheers so loudly that he can hear it from his earpiece and a smile forms on his face. His eyes roam through the crowd, there are just too many of them. He could hear them chant their name and sporting his fan club shirts while holding banners. They can't see him as of now, due to the lights turned down.

"Darling I am yours, 

You are my angel, my sun's ray...."

The back screen now lights up, the feathers of angels in display and smoke dances through the stage as Zain finally comes in picture. He can hear the crowd becoming wilder if that was even possible.

Starting his concert with Angel was surely a good idea, after all.

"If you be the ocean, 

I will swim through you,

Because I know you won't let me drown,

Cuz I ain't falling,

I am rising with your love,

Every single day..."

And just like that every worry of his gets thrown out of the window and all he can focus on is his singing and his fans who surround him.

This is his domain.

"Congrats, Zee! That was amazing! I have to say, you have exceeded my expectations from you!" Sejal says as she grabs a very sweaty Zain in a tight hug that he can barely breathe.

"Thanks, Sejal," he says.

She releases him from the hug but his eyes search for someone in particular. Yet he couldn't spot her anywhere in the crowd or even while he was singing a song meant for her and her alone.
