Everyone had gone for rehearsals and I was ordered to stay in the tent and take care of the stuff and myself. Honestly, I was very tired and needed some rest so I was glad they understood. I took a glance of myself at the mirror and saw how shabbily I was dressed. I took out a white gown that I had kept in my bag last night and put it on. It was not a very dressy gown, but a simple elegant one, which was flowing through my body. I scrubbed my face using a face wash and applied some mascara and eyeliner keeping it simple. I used my brush to send some 2 or 3 strokes down my hair letting my curls fall. I had kept them straight from the above but my natural curls were flowing beneath it. Taking a part of my hair, I bring it forward and put it on one of my sides and the other part rests behind. I even take out my flower crown from the bag and simply put it on. Finally I look at myself in the mirror and I was looking decent enough. I finally went and sat on the chair again and started going through my Facebook news feed when suddenly my phone started ringing. It showed an unknown number and with a confused expression I picked it up. The call was from the managers of this event and had called to inform me that I had to submit the script for my college's part to the esteemed people right now. I quickly pick up the file and check it one last time before I leave to give it to the judges.
I walk down reading the file that was there in my hand. Everything that was written was all I knew about. It was a Ramleela competition where different colleges were given different parts of the story to be enacted and different colleges all over India were invited for this Event. It was surely a huge one and it was not only last night I got to know I had to come. Honestly I was a little skeptical of coming as this was Mumbai, but then this being a Drama competition and that also just for 2 days, I don't think I will collide with St. Louis children as they didn't really have a drama team and yes I had to learn how to be professional. Sweeping the thoughts off my mind, I started walking till the place mentioned. I suddenly bumped into someone and an unnatural feeling enveloped me. Thinking of it to be a side effect of stress I didn't bother and just muttered a sorry before leaving. Probably it was rude as I didn't even look at the person but at the moment that was the least I cared about.
I reached the room I was told and went up till the person. I handed him over the file and he gave me back some sheets stapled together. He explained me these carried some instructions we had to follow and that the program was to be started in 30 minutes. I said thanks and made my way back to the tent. As I reached back I saw everyone were back from their final practice and were busy munching some snacks. " Guys, mein yeh event ke liye aa bhi gayi aur mujhe pata bhi nahin kaunsa college host kar rah hai? Atleast bata toh do!" I said as I made myself comfortable near Rahul snatching his chocolate bar. It was actually funny that I had come for an event somehow not even knowing which college was organizing it. "Taani yeh sab chod, mujhe bata tu excited hai is skit ke liye?" Rahul said as he rested his arm on my shoulder moving around with me. " Waise agar mein part ley rahi hoti, toh obviously zyada hoti, but abhi also im really excited for you guys. I know you guys are going to rock it" I said as everyone came together and we shared a group hug. Suddenly an announcement was heard and we all were told to report to the stage. Doing all the final moment preparations we left to go to the stage.
As we reached, I was told to stand at a different place while the contestants had to stand different. I wished them all good luck and went to stand where I was told. Suddenly the lights went dim and a spotlight fell right in the middle of the atge. My eyes hung open as I saw them, Simmi and Nilesh on stage. Quickly checking the last page of all the sheets given to me, I read "organized by St. Louis students". I stood there numb not knowing what to do. " Excuse me, Im the AGS of ST. Louis. Are you the one accompanying L.S. College?" I heard a very familiar voice talk to me from behind. Involuntarily my body shifted and my gaze fell upon him again, Reyaansh Singhania, the love of my life. Before I had the chance to react he embedded me into a big hug. Finally giving off myself I hugged with the same passion, letting all the intensity flow. Suddenly after 5 minutes I pulled myself apart. Raising my head a little I saw him with tears in his eyes. I quickly wiped them as he took both my hands and clasped them with his, kissing it. I just smiled as he again took me into a hug. " I missed you so much" he said as I realized his croaked voice. " I love you Tanni, I love you. Please don't leave me again" he continued as I could feel the tears dropping on my shoulders. I ran my fingers through his hair calming him down. "Rey, mein hun yahan. Please don't cry now" I said as he left me and looked up at me. Taking my hands again, he holds them against his chest
" Promise me Taani, kal tum mujhe college ke bahar 7 o clock milogi".
" Rey, main nahin aa sakti. Mein yahan ek competition ke liye aayi bun aur puri team ki responsibility meri hai. I'm sorry".
" Team ki chinta mat karo. They will all be fine. And mein tumhe yahan kal event shuru hone se pehle drop kardunga. I promise. Pleas taani, if you even loved me, please kal aa jana"
" I'll be outside the college at 7" I said as I I forced out my hands from his.
" Thank you so much Taani, you don't know what this means to me. Abhi I'll leave, I know yeh day tumhare liye bahut important hai. Par kal we are going to talk" He said as he placed a kiss on my forehead and left and I simply stood there blushing to myself. Now all I hoped was for the my team to perform well.
I generally write on SwaRon and this is just my second try on TaaRey. Why i wrote the OS? I wish i myself knew the answer. But well , I dont. Just felt like trying a hand on other couples than Swaron. So yeah, just a mere try. Hope it wasnt that bad. Comment and like please :) Honest reviews would really be appreciated :)
