The most awaited day for me. Now it's 10:30pm. Someone performing mono-action on stage. Vishwa and I settled in 3rd row of audience. After that performance, there is another classical music performance and then stage play of our team. 

I waited for this day. I was with Chaitra in most of their rehearsals. Earlier Vivek was male lead and Tara was female lead. Aadhi and Chaitra were dance partners in a scene and it's a couple dance.  Only god knew, how I composed myself. 

Later due to some changes Aadhi became male lead and Divya female lead. Again some changes, Divya is replaced by Leila. Most of the time Aadhi hung to Chaitra. It is going to end in an hour or so. 

The curtain raised and play started, Leila is standing with Meera and Kiran and after few minutes Aadhi entered. I'm waiting for Chaitra. Now Vivek and Chaitra are partners. After some time, the theme on screen changed to some party theme. Vivek and Chaitra along with others slowly dancing for 'The Thousand Years' song. 

Aadhi wore a black shirt paired with black jacket and blue jeans and Leila wore red coloured frock. Everyone in background wore white shirts paired with black trousers. Girls wore different colours of frocks. The entire stage seemed filmy. 

My star is twinkling in sky blue coloured frock which passed down her knees, she is breathtaking. Her dancing moves are perfect with that music. I like that song, from now I love it. 

She is dancing in 1st row and for me everything is blur except her. She is talking to Vivek in middle, no wonder she can't be quite for more than 5 minutes. I think she saw me, she gave a smile with raised brows while dancing and I smiled back. The best feeling in the world is when you look at that special person and they are already smiling at you.

After few minutes she left the stage and the play continued. I had a strong urge to meet her but I have to wait until this play completed. The play finished and everyone clapped. It's a nice plot and everyone performed great. The curtain fell half down. 

"Wait everyone", I heard Vivek voice from the half downed curtain.

"I hope you all enjoyed it." With claps and whistles we answered. 

"Friendship is a treasure..... we all have friends which we love hatefully...... fortunately I also have.....and unfortunately it's his birthday", everyone are curious and it's not a good sign. Curtain raised again and started a countdown from 5 to 1. Entire play team stood there looking at me.

"Happy birthday Varun", echoed in the hall and not a worst one but an average image of mine displayed on screen. I checked the time and it's 12:00am. I didn't expect this. This idiot remember my birthday?

Everyone started claps, whistles and all the noise. People around me started wishing me and I'm little embarrassed as I'm not fan of crowd pulling. I liked that funny surprise. I hid my laughing face with hand.

"Varun, please grace us with your presence", Vivek said dramatically. Some are waiting for me and remaining are busy in pushing me onto the stage. I knew some people, some I don't. But everyone wished as courtesy. 

"Thank you everyone", I said in mic facing the people with smiling face. 

"Happy birthday", Vivek hugged me.

"Thank you", I chuckled. Everyone on the stage wished with hugs and hand shakes. I thanked everyone. 

"I doubt that you remember it", I said to Vivek.

"I won't take that credit.... Chaitra planned it", he shouted in my ear. The whole place filled with noise. She stood in next row and happily talking to Meera and Aadhi. I went to her and hold her tight in my arms.
