18. She is Special

A little note for my little bunnies!

Many of you asked for long updates but here is the thing guys, I write around 2000 words for each chapter. I try to make them longer but sometimes the scene get a little longer so I need to cut it and start other chapter.

Beside that I try to update as per schedule so it's hard for me to write longer chapters every time as I barely get time. I am a student so I have a lot of other things on my plate too but I am trying to manage everything so be little patient with me I am learning with time.

Thank you so much for supporting me and reading my story. You all should know that I love everyone of you <3 Happy reading!!

Mahi's POV:

"Sameer, only 3 hours are left, why the hell are you still not getting ready?" I asked Sameer as he was still busy with all the last minute preparations. We finished our stage rehearsals just an hour ago but Sameer still wants to check everything.

He might always be the I-don't-care-much kind of a person but actually he is the most hard working and serious among all of us whenever we have to perform or we have any event.

"I will be there in a minute. You go ahead." He said and I left, sighing.

"Mahi they are here." Nitya came toward me and I understood what she meant. They are finally here.

"Grandpa!" I went toward him and hugged him tightly. "I missed you so much. How are you?" I pulled back.

"As always this old man is fit and fine." He kissed my forehead. He is the person who makes me the happiest in this whole world. I saw Rohan running toward me, he engulfed me in a tight hug. I almost lost my balance but somehow managed to not fall.

"I missed you Di, a lot!"

"I missed you too Ro." I pulled back and my eyes went to the person behind him. I didn't expect her to come but she never fails to surprise me.

"The costumes are ready, come on guys let's get you all ready." Our team member Riya shouted for all of us to hear. I turned back and nodded.

"Go ahead and get ready. Aj dhoom machana hai tum sabko! Best of luck!" Grandpa wished and we all laughed at his words. (You all have to make a splash today!)

"I will make a vlog of your show and will post it on my YouTube channel so do your best okay?" This was Rohan, obviously all he cares about is his YT channel but I know he loves me too.

"Thanks a lot for coming and cheering for us. You guys are the best!" I know they are excited more than anyone else.

"Best of luck Mahi I know you will shine, like you always do and wish others luck from my side." Mom came close and kept her hand on my shoulder.

"Thanks." That's all I could say. I don't understand why she always pretends to care and If by any chance she really cares then why is she showing it now, after all these years? Never mind I don't want to think about any of this.

"Nitya takes care of them and be with them all the time. This place will soon get crowded so it might be difficult for them." I told Nitya as she will take good care of them in my absence.

"Don't worry about them. You know your family has guards for them. You focus on your performance and best of luck!" Nitya pointed toward the men in suits. How can I forget I am the daughter of a famous businessman who doesn't even bother to attend his daughter's big event.

"Okay I will go now bye and thanks." I hugged her last time and went backstage to get ready.

"Come on Mahi we don't have much time. Go and get changed." Mr Ahmad told me and I went to the changing room. We all were ready in an hour as we all had our own makeup artists who were hired by our agency.

Their outfits

"Let's go and show who Hope4 is." Rishi forwarded his hand to do the cheering just like we always do before our performances. We all kept our hand on his one by one and cheered saying "Hope4 the best"

Kabir's POV:

She has the power I never wanted to give anyone. She can make my heart beat run at a crazy speed without even doing anything her eyes are enough. Why is she always on my mind? Why the only person I want to think of is her?

Earlier when I saw her in the temple it felt like my heart stopped for a second. She looked mesmerizing in that dress in fact she looks beautiful in whatever she wears.

This girl can be anything she wants, she can be like a little kitten who wants to get away from me whenever I look into her eyes for more than a minute.

On the other hand she can be like a lioness, roaring when she knows what she is doing is right.

Her reactions don't help me in any way, they only increase my urge to get to know the girl who can smile brightly like a sun but always chose to frown and pretend to be happy.

I want to know what she has in her heart because my heart says she is special.

"Sir we tightened the security as you asked and her family is also here." one of my men informed me. This is a big day for her and I don't want anything to go wrong in any possible way.

"Okay check everything else and inform me of the progress." He left and I went to take my seat. I booked the front seats for the close family and friends.

"Bhai where were you?" Kirti asked as she saw me coming. Nandini, Samarth and Kirti all were here along with mom, Mahi's family and other band member's families.

"You all are early." I took my seat beside mom. In the past few weeks I have known her. I can tell she can make friends easily because in just one meeting my whole family is here to cheer for her.

"Of course we have to be here. She is the sweetest person I have met and I gotta cheer for her. Look, I even brought glow light sticks for everyone." Kirti handed sticks to everyone and she seemed a lot happy.

"They became this close in just one meeting. I'm impressed." Mom said smiling and the lights dimmed signifying the show is starting.

The four of them stood on the stage with their instruments and the cheering got even loud. I looked back and everyone turned on their phone flashes, swaying them in the air.

Mahi started playing her guitar with her eyes closed. She was feeling the music and the people cheering.

Sameer started singing a pop rock song and everyone sang along with loud cheers from the audience.

Mahi smiled hearing the cheers which were for them and the contentment was evident on her face. Her eyes shined perfectly in the dimmed spot lights. She played her guitar in rhythm with the song.

Mom, Rohan, Kirti, Nandini, Samarth, Dadaji and everyone else screamed at the top of their lungs showing support for the people standing on the stage. Rohan and Kirti chanted Mahi's name with loud cheering and I smiled looking at them.

Mahi looked in our direction and her smile got even bigger when she heard them cheering for her and Hope4.

She looks like a bloomed flower when she smiles like that. The busting speakers, crowd cheering all didn't matter at that moment, just her being happy was all I could feel.

They played various different types of songs and all enjoyed it a lot. It was turn of the last song of the day. "This is the last song of the day guys I hope you all will enjoy it." Sameer announced and once again the audience were heard cheering "Hope4"

The lights again went dim, only the four of them were visible under the spotlight. My eyes widened when they started playing the song I never expected I would hear again.

Tadpaye Mujhe Teri Sabhi Baate

Ek Baar Ay Deewani

Jhootha Hi Sahi Pyaar To Kar

Main Bhoola Nahin Haseen Mulakaate

Bechain Karke Mujhko

Mujhse Yun Na Pher Nazar

Roothega Na Mujhse

Mere Saathiyan Yeh Vaada Kar

Tere Bina Mushkil Hain

Jeena Mera Mere Dilbar

Zara Zara Behekta Hain

Mehekta Hain Aaj To Mera

Tan Badan Main Pyaasa Hoon

Mujhe Bhar Le Apni Baahon Mein

Zara Zara Behekta Hain

Mehekta Hain Aaj To Mera

Tan Badan Main Pyaasa Hoon

Mujhe Bhar Le Apni Baahon Mein

Mom looked in my direction. She knows this used to be our favorite song, nothing could be kept from her.

Her hand reached my shoulder, I took her hand in mine and assured her I was okay. It's been a long time. It should not affect me.

I don't want to be stuck in the past anymore so I will face it. I need to move on and keep looking forward, running away is not the solution so I will accept it now.

I didn't have the courage to do it in the past because I was afraid once I did I won't have anything to hold on to.

I won't have anything to look forward to or to wish for but I don't have to hold onto it anymore because maybe holding it will only break me more.

So today I am letting my first love go because I don't want to be lost in my pain anymore it hurts and I want to heal now. Goodbye Tanya.

Yuhi Baras Baras Kaali Ghata Barse

Hum Yaar Bheeg Jaaye

Is Chaahat Ki Baarish Mein

Teri Khuyli Khuli Lato Ko Suljhaaun

Main Apni Ungliyon Se

Main To Hoon Isi Khwaayish Mein

Sardi Ki Raaton Mein

Hum Soye Rahe Ek Chaadar Mein

Hum Dono Tanha Ho

Na Koi Bhi Rahe Is Ghar Mein

Zara Zara Behekta Hain

Mehekta Hain Aaj To Mera

Tan Badan Main Pyaasa Hoon

Mujhe Bhar Le Apni Baahon Mein

Zara Zara Behekta Hain

Mehekta Hain Aaj To Mera

Tan Badan Main Pyaasa Hoon

Mujhe Bhar Le Apni Baahon Mein

The song ended and the people cheering never stopped. "Thank you so much everyone for joining us here today. It was a pleasure to see all of you here." Mahi came forward and thanked everyone along with other members.

We all stood up and clapped for them. The meet and greet started and everyone came forward to get the pictures and autographs from them. "Let's go, it will take them another hour to finish it all here." I said as I stood up.

"Let's all go to my house. I prepared dinner for everyone." Mom told them and they happily agreed. I called a few guards to take all of them safely to their cars. "You aren't coming?" Mom asked as she settled in her car.

"I will come with them. There are still a lot of things that need to be done here." She nodded and they all left.

After an hour they all were done and Mr Ahmad and their team members informed them about the dinner and sent them in the car arranged by our agency.

"You stay with me." I told Mahi when she was about to get in the car. Her questioning eyes told me that she doesn't want to but I grabbed her wrist gently and took her with me to my car. We left from the backstage door so no paparazzi were there.

"Why am I coming with you? I want to go with them." She tried to leave the car but I again grabbed her by her wrist, this time a little tight but not as much that could hurt her, she wiggled to get out of my hold.

"Okay stop struggling it's not like I am kidnapping you or anything." She stopped after hearing my words and I loosened my hold but didn't leave her.

"Then tell me why I am with you and not with them." I fastened her seat belt because I know she always forgets and I started driving.

"You are not going with them because mom told me to buy desserts for the celebration dinner and I need you to come with me because I don't know what to buy." I said without looking at her and kept my eyes on the road. I know I was lying but I wanted to be with her right now.

"Celebration dinner?" She asked confusingly.

"She knew the show would be successful and so she prepared for this dinner everyone is at home waiting for us." I stopped the car in front of a sweet shop.

"Come on" I got down from the car and she did the same. We entered the shop, she looked here and there and her eyes stopped at Rasmalai (an indian desert). Without asking her I went and ordered it. She looked at me amusingly and I raised my eyebrow.

"What?" I asked but she didn't say anything.

"What sweets do you like?" She asked out of nowhere making me look at her in confusion but waited for my answer so I replied "Shrikhand" without saying anything further she placed the order for it.

"Why are we buying it?" I asked as I took the bags from the shopkeeper but she immediately paid for it without letting me say anything further.

"I was going to-" I started but she cut me off.

"Aunty prepared dinner for everyone so dessert is on me, simple." She settled down in the car and I did too without saying anything because it was of no use.

"Emm what do you thing how was it?" I know she was asking about the show. I expected her to ask this but not this early.

"It was wonderful." I replied looking in her eyes and she smiled, great!

"What was the best part?" She again asked but this was not expected. She was curious to know my thoughts, that is new.

"Your smiling face." I said, still looking in her eyes. Her smile slowly dropped and eyes widened, maybe I shouldn't have said that but I can't help it. She turned to look in front, I grabbed a pen and a tissue from the dashboard.

"Here" She again turned toward me with questioning eyes. I handed her a pen and kept the tissue on my palm.

"I also need an autograph." I forwarded my hand but she didn't move at all. "Come on dolphin, I am waiting." I again said and she gave me that are-you-serious look but at last she gave me her autograph.

"I'll keep that. Now we shall go back." I started the car and we left for home.
