Part 3.
LOOK INTO MY EYES/ AND DARE/ TO TAKE A LEAP OF FAITH
Angad returned to the stage as the song ended and Kripa breathed a sigh of relief and relaxed.
There was loud applause again.
Angad signaled something to his band-mates and the rest of the Goa Boyz returned onstage with their instruments.
Angad announced loudly: AND NOW, ALL U LOVELY PEOPLE, ARE U READY TO HAVE SOME FUN?
Audience: Yeahhh! (a few voices)
Angad: I CANT HEAR YOU!….. LOUDER!
Audience: YEAAHHHH (loudly now)
Angad: That's GOOD! NOW BOYZ, LETS GIVE IT TO THEM! A SONG BY MR. GOA REMO FERNANDEZZZ!!
The band started playing fast Goan beats again and Angad started singing this lively Konkani song sung originally by Remo Fernandez:
O Maria Pita che……
http://www.dishant.com/album/Remo_Fernande...Meri_Munni.html
The song had rocking beats and Angad tap-danced all throughout, as he was joined by the other BOYZ in vocals!
Kripa, Mishti and the rest of the diners swayed and clapped along with the beats ……Kripa forgot all her earlier embarassments as she genuinely enjoyed Angad's lively performance onstage, clapping and smiling with delight!
She realized that not only was Angad a talented singer, he was also a good dancer and a great entertainer. He had the audience eating out of his hands, making them clap, cheer and even sing along with him in a dialect most of them didn't even know!
Angad was oddly pleased to see his mystery maiden enjoying his performance and this gave him even more enthusiasm to add more vigor and verve to his act!!
He sang a few more Goan songs with his band mates and then ended the night with a roaring rendition of Abhishek Bachchan's Right here Right Now from Bluffmaster (the female vocals were sung by a girl from the audience who joined him on stage on his request)

That song really brought the house down!
10:30 p.m.
The show had ended and Kripa and Mishti exited the dining-hall to get the shuttle back to their suites.
As they went to the lobby, Mishti's eagle eyes spotted Angad standing in a hallway behind the Christmas tree talking to a band-member!
Mishti;" Oh My God! Dekh Kripa, Angad is standing there…..lets go and meet him!
Kripa: " Are u mad, Dii? Let's go home, it's very late and I am sleepy!
Mishti: Oh C'mon, it will only take a minute, lets go introduce ourselves
Kripa: No Diii, I don't want to…….
Mishti, taller and stronger of the two, dragged Kripa by the arm and pulled her into the hallway where Angad was standing.
Angad saw them coming, he smiled and excused himself from his band-mate and walked towards them.
Mishti: Hi Angad! We really loved your performance, U WERE SUUUPERBB! (she gushed delightedly)
Angad: Thank you very much! And u are….. (he said smilingly glancing from Kripa to Mishti and back again)
Mishti: Oh Sorry, I am Mishti and this is my sister Kripa…
Angad : Nice to meet you, Mishti (shaking her hand)
He extended his hand to Kripa who was intently studying the hallway carpet!
Angad: Hello Kripa! (he said in his deep voice)
Kripa looked with fascination at his strong hand, upturned palm with deep lines…..the hand of a hard-worker, she thought vaguely!
Her own palm was sweating as she held it clenched against her side, refusing to look at him!
Angad repeated in a low tone: Hi Kripa! (his hand still extended)
Kripa heard his amused tone and looked up ……as their eyes met again, his bold eyes glinted at her with humor and a certain challenge, as if saying " Go ahead, take it, I am not going to bite you"
Her feminine pride stung to the quick, she quickly wiped her sweaty palm on her dress and put her hand in his! She looked at her hand, almost lost in that big palm!
Angad looked down at the contrast , her slim artistic fingers in his broad palm, he slowly closed his hand on hers and squeezed it gently and then let it go!
Angad: Pleased to meet you!
Mishti: " So Angad, are you going to perform tomorrow night too!
Angad: " Yeah, right here, tomorrow, same time, hope u 2 will be there….
Mishti : Oh Sure, we wouldn't miss it for the world, hai na Kripa?
Kripa nodded silently, still evading Angad's bold glances at her!
Suddenly Mishti heard the shuttle announced at the door, she said in a hurry:
"Ohhhh hamara shuttle aa gaya, Good Night, Angad, see u tomorrow , Cmon Baby" ….and pulled Kripa back to the front door!
Angad: Good Night……he waved, laughing at the 2 departing girls as he thought with vague amusement: Did I just hear her call her sister Baby? No maybe I heard wrong….
He shook his head and walked away to get his gear and head back to his room in the staff quarters of the Resort!
By the time Mishti and Kripa reached their suite, it was 11 p.m.
As soon as they got in, Mishti called Naina and informed her that they were back as she knew Naina would worry! Naina and Dilip said Good Night to the girls on the phone.
Mishti bid Kripa good night and went into her room.
Kripa came out on the terrace again…….moonlight sparkled on the distant waves like molten silver…. it was a beautiful night……Kripa closed her eyes, enjoying the cool sea breeze! A face appeared in her thoughts, bold, mocking eyes glancing at her as if stripping her soul of every single thought! She opened her eyes with a jerk……she was appalled….. Why am I thinking about him? I just met him!!!
As she went to bed, she thought with a smile: Per gaata bahut achha hai…….the deep voice resonated in her ears : Neeley neeley ambar par/ chand jab aaye….as she went to sleep, the voice was still ringing in her ears sweetly! She had a smile on her face!
