Sanam's point of view:-

"Anu!!! Please"

After 5 minutes... I finally hear the door click open.

A sigh escapes my lips when I see her standing in front of me and I enter the room.

I switched on the lights and the Bright lights enlightens the room.

She stood there looking at me...with tears in her eyes and expressionless and I step near her and she looked down at the floor.

"You're fine?"

I see her when suppressed her sob and she nodded at me.

No.. you're lying

I take a step towards her and make her look at me...

I pull her into a hug and I tugged her hair back and I inhaled her sweet scent and closed my eyes.

"You're not at all good at lying..."

"No.. I am not okay..." She gave up on the feelings which she was holding in her eyes and her hands fell down as she cries.

I embraced her kissing her forehead, I know she's not used to this.

I know what she said to her,I know it all

She hugs me back and I ask her "Why are you affected by such things..?" While I rubbed her back And she didn't reply and I smiled at her "Okay.. you're weak then"

"No..I am not!!"

"Then show her..

ki uske kehne se Kuch nahi hota..and Ya I am screaming this for you..."

She looks up at me puzzled as I expected,

"I * am* not*her* boyfriend*!!!"

I say that her clearly each word.

"If she says you don't have values...Show her na..

"She was not the one who sang for ill children, She was not the one who cares for everyone..

You're the one"

I look down in her eyes and I hold her by her shoulders

"I would really tell you if I had something for her and I promise that even something happens it's my job to assure you."

She nodded quietly and I say "You're everything that she said that you aren't and much more...Just show her the demo!!"

She stepped back while sipping her eyes.

"I am gonna wait for you with the others And you'll come out in 5"

I tell her by showing my five fingers ..

I go out closing the door behind me and rubbing me temples with my hands.

I start walking to the backstage when I saw Riya sipping a glass of wine and I walk near her and take a glass of wine..from a nearby waiter.

I spilled the juice on her gladiators and waited for her reaction.

"Ahhhh you..!!!" She pointed her finger at me and I raise my eyebrow as she takes her hand back

"Hi Sanam...Oh..I know you must have done it..acci.."

She is murdering the art of acting now.. she's not good at this at all.

"Riya can you stop it!!!" And she looks around "Are you not going to shout the price of your gladiators? How much they cost?"

Yes I watched it when she was shouting at that boy...so rude.

"Think before you speak.... I don't know why are you doing this!!" I say grinding my teeth as she said

"All I said was right" .

"Everything you said was wrong , every single word!! And ya you.. really? You talked about values...

Who said that I was your boyfriend?"

I cross my arms as she says,

"Sanam woh toh dikhta Hai..."

I know that my jaw is touching the floor now

W.A.I.T* What?!!

"Oh god.. isse Kya kya dikhta hai...

are you imagining something?.."

"Stop lying Love" she holds my collar.. I walk backwards from her removing her hands.

"Hadd hai yaar!!!"

To prevent myself from shouting at her , I rushed to the room.

I almost broke the door and I entered the room while everyone else gave me weird looks.

"She is alright?" I hear Shirley asking me and I nodded at her and Anushka stood up from her stool "Who?"

"Ahhhh...She.."

I don't want to make her worry and she asked again,

"Who she?

And I say

"A...she meant...she She is a bunny" and I glance at Shirley..."Ya... she's a bunny what's her name?"

"Ahhhh Riya!!!" She answered and I see Anushka getting a clue of something wrong..."What about Riya?"

"No..she meant Ralphy" I say to her and she nodded while she was still satisfied.

We heard the door opening and we looked at Anu entering there ..like nothing happened with her and a bright and beautiful smile on her face.

She is trying so hard to look happy not to let anyone know.

A smile came on my face unknowingly and I went to her while Anushka was shooting questions at her.

"Okay.... Anushka and Anu.. you're up in 5 ..." Raghav said from behind the door .

they nodded at him and Anushka took her guitar from Shirley who was holding it for her.

"Where's my pick?" Anushka says while adjusting her guitar strap and she went away to find it.

suddenly an girl came there as she started helping both of them with the collar mics.

"Thank you" Anu smiled at the girl who just finished setting her mic on her denim jacket.

They both went to the stage and I waved at them....Ahh finally

Suddenly Samar came to me and he says "You don't wanna see them performing" I nodded and I say "But we need to take some people with us"

I could see the confusion on his face and I whispered in his ear.

He nods as he calls out to Riya and Anika. I try not to laugh as he convinced them to see the performance... I really wanna see her that she was wrong.

We go out and stood near the stage to see the people screaming their names and holding their banners.

"Good Evening Stolkholm ..." Anu says while walking forward and the crowd cheered even more.

"So..from where should we start?" And they tried to hear the various demands and they started with the hit "Love me like you do"

"What do you think Riya?" I ask her as she gaped at her and Samar muttered "They are stars.. aren't they?" And they had to nod in agreement.

Okay I am looking at those male fans screaming her name and she shook her hands with them ...

Seriously?

"Sanam Teri bhi toh fan girls hai..na toh obviously uske bhi make fans honge!!!" And i nod at Samar as he stood there and watched the whole thing.

"Dil charkhe ki ek tu Dori..

Sufi iska rang Haaye!!!"

Anu gave a beautiful smile after this line.

"Haaye!!! Isko rok lo!!!"

"Isme Jo tera khwaab peroya ..

Isme Jo tera khwaab peroya..neende Bani patang .."

"Dil bharta nahi aakhen rajjti nahi

Dil bharta nahi aakhen rajjti nahi chhahe Kitna bhi dekhti jaau wakt jaaye Main rok na paau "

"tu thodi der aur there jaa ..

Tu thodi der aur Ther jaa "

"Haaye din tere bin ab jee na paaye...

Din tere bin ab jee na paaye

Saans na leti raat..."

Our eyes met this time and she spoke the next lines..

"Ishq karein tere honthon se..

Ishq karein mere honthon se

Bas ik teri baat"

We didn't cutter the eye contact..but

She looked away as she heard some people shouting for her.

"Bas Sanam ..Bas kar

look at your face.." Sanam whispered softly in my ears so that they couldn't listen to us.

I ignored him as I folded my hands..

"Teri doori na sahoon

Door khud se rahoon

Tere pehlu mein hi reh jaun

Tu hi samjha jo main chaahun"

"I told you.. " I say with a smile looking at Riya and she glared at me when I said this .

I noticed Samar trying to control his laughter and Anika was totally focused on Anushka...no..she is getting burnt and we can smell it.

"Dil minnate kare

Na tu jaa na pare"

Tere jaane se jee na paaun.."

" Ya Me too"

Tu thodi dair aur thehar ja soneya

Tu thodi dair aur thehar jaa"

The audience cheered and we could hear the whistling and hooting and I caught her looking at me and she looked away that very moment.

After that they sang a few more songs... And it includes the party songs too and when the people started dancing some people saw us and we decided to go backstage.

I hummed the tune of "Sun Sathiya" and this was the time when Shakti and Piyush had to dance with their live song..

"Samar who is she for you?" I hear Anika asking him as he smiled "Everything" and she rolled her eyes going away.

We went inside and Saw Keshu singing the lines..."Tar jaaun Tar Tar jaaun Dariya yeh take jaun ri ."

"Bas bas yeh baahar khatam bhi ho gaya... you're late" and we saw Piyush commming back with Shakti.

"AND....you were awesome" Samar said while looking at Piyush and I nodded in agreement with him.

"The lyrics came alive.." Shakti says as she sits down on the chair..

"Haa Anu and Anushka are so nice" Venky said and Keshav looked at us as he coughed.

"What!!! Ya they are good..Same Kuch na Kuch toh hota hi hai" I said while shrugging my shoulders.

Suddenly the door opened and we saw them stepping in as we all hooted and they giggled as the volunteers removed their mics..

Anushka kept down her guitar and Venky said "You were lit" and she replied "thanks" while Tugging a few strands of hair behind her ear.

we heard the announcement for the last performance which was by all the dancers, the grand ending

"So how did you felt...Anu?" I looked over to Venky as he asked her and she kept looking down as she stood there with her hands back.

Why is she not answering?

"Hey are you... You're crying?"

" What???" I took a few steps towards her as Venky hugged her..."Hey hey...what happened? ..you did great"

She wiped her eyes while saying "I know.."

I understand...she is too happy to express it and I say "Now get habitual to this" she looked up at me and I leaned in "I too felt very glad when for the first time .. I performed like this."

"Abb toh booking pe bookings hai inke liye" Keshav said while nudging his shoulders with Anushka as she hitted her shoulders and Samar broke out laughing.

Suddenly Anika and Riya came there smashing from the door.

"Padharo..."

I rolled my eyes as Riya sat beside me and I looked towards Anu... she's not even looking here.

"Sanam..." She smiled at me.

"Hmm?" I replied as plainly I could do that I can look disinterested as I am.

"What do you think?"

I raised my eyebrow...

"About Us?"

I stood up and say "What?"

Venky felt too awkward to react and Samar was looking at the while situation really peacefully.

Suddenly we head the door banging close and we looked there ...

"Ya . That's great"

She left..Anu left this room and with me..this Chipku.. pata nahi Kya bol rahi hai?

I glared at her as she grinned while standing up and smiled innocently..

"Samar ..don't Out remember when we visited your home?" And he almost choked while he nodded while laughing.

I covered my eyes as I remember what happened...no, exactly what she did and tried to do we at that time.

I found Anushka looking at me and I shake my head rapidly .. a clear "Don't believe her" and she nods at me.

"Do you even know her surname?" And we all looked at Anushka ...

That's right...but .. I know that she's trying to test that whose surname which they have choisen..their step father or real father.

"Wait .. are you trying to humiliate them?" Samar asked as she looked around paying no attention to him.

"I don't care about...." I say when suddenly Anushka stopped me.

"Wait Sanam let me answer her"

Anushka stood up keeping down the magazine which she has been reading..but she's not looking tensed.

We all stayed silent as she walked up to Riya....
