'I'm here with you, Baby'~ Mihar OS

"I'm here with you, Baby"

"Dance," Baby could feel Mikhail's voice getting colder with every passing minute.

But she couldn't. She was repeatedly missing the beats, the rhythm. She didn't know why but his stare was doing something to her. She was unable to dance in front of him. Every time she saw that he was looking at her, it made her so self-conscious, so nervous that she would forget the beat, the music.

But it was not like she was not comfortable or free in front of him. It was never like that. It was some other feeling, which she didn't know what but there was something she felt every time he looked at her, every time he touched her, every time he talked to her. Something happened within her heart. Something happened in her insides, which she could never make anyone understand.

"Dance," Mikhail shouted causing her to gasp.

"Mike, what are you doing?" Diya placed her hand on Mikhail's shoulder who was angrily stepping forward. "You are making her nervous. I told you she wouldn't be able to do it. She isn't a dancer, Mikhail."

He looked away. How could he tell her that he knew she was his Aneri. He knew by his heart, his instinct that told him that she was his Aneri, which they could never feel. Moreover, he had already seen her dance. She was his Aneri and he knew it.

Moments of her dance flashed infront of his eyes. Suddenly he remembered. That day too, she was missing her beats infront of him. She wasn't being able to dance infront of him. Yes, she couldn't dance because he was there. But if he left, maybe she would also leave without giving the audition. So he had to stay there. But she had to dance too.

Suddenly his head shot up as an idea hit him. A smile formed at the corner of his lips. He hurried outside and got back in a minute.

He then slowly started walking towards Baby.

"Mike...". As Diya was starting to say something, he shushed her by showing her his hand. He slowly came near her and took out a blindfold from his pocket. He wrapped the fold on her eyes making her shiver under his touch.

Then, he took one of her hand and swirled her once before leaving her and stepping aside. He switched on the music and softly said, "Dance."

Her eyes were closed. She couldn't see anything. She could only feel the music, the beats and the rhythm. As if on a very natural instinct, her body began to move with the rhythm. She completely forgot about the world outside her closed eyes. She forgot about her restricted life, her boundaries which she was never supposed to cross. The passion of dance within her was suddenly burning in bright flames. She twisted her hands, swirled her body and danced with nothing but passion and love for dance.

A smile played on Mikhail's lips as he watched her dance, as Ruhan found Aneri, his Aneri.

"Mike, I'll do whatever u say atleast, umm, for three days. I lost and I admit it. You were right. Baby is Aneri. We finally got our Aneri," Diya whispered to Mikhail as her eyes followed Baby's swaying body.

Suddenly, a voice shouted from the door.

"You, bloody..."

Yep. It was Netra.

She rushed to the music player and switched it off. She then reached Baby who had already stopped dancing hearing her shout. Netra grabbed her arm and threw open the blindfold.

"How dare you? You are trying to take my place? You want to become Aneri?" Netra shouted at the top her voice.

But before she could say anything else, Mikhail caught her hand and released Baby from her grip.

"Have you gone mad, Netra?" Mikhail shouted angrily.

"You think I'm mad? You have gone mad, Mikhail that you want to place her in my position," she pushed Mikhail as she said that.

Baby was flabbergasted with all this. She started to move backwards until she hit the wall. She wan't Aneri. What was Netra talking about?

Mikhail angrily approached Netra.

"Don't be insane. I've already told you that u're not my Aneri."

"Oh! Then, she is your Aneri? That assistant?" Netra shouted back.

Mikhail looked at Baby who was looking at her helplessly with tears in her eyes. Something ached inside him. Suddenly, he was so angry.

He too shouted, "Yes. She is my Aneri. My Aneri."

"I won't let her be." Netra shouted in a mad voice.

But as she started to approach Baby, Mikhail stood in her way and pushed her a little which forced her to stumble back some steps.

He pointed his finger on her and warned, "You don't dare, Netra."

Diya hurriedly came towards Netra as she knew if this went on and Mikhail lost his temper, it would be the worst that could happen. She put her hand on Netra's shoulder and tried to say, " Netra, plz try to understand..."

Netra immediately shrugged her hand off her shoulder.

Pointing her finger on Diya, she said, " You stay out."

Mikhail again said in a warning tone, "Netra."

Netra turned to him.

"I'll remember this, Mikhail. You better watch out." And she left from there.

"I'll just see if she isn't breaking Academy properties." Saying this, Diya passed him a smile and left from there.

Mikhail immediately turned towards Baby who was very shocked with all this. He gently held her arm and rubbed his thumb softly over the red area where Netra had grabbed her.

"Are u okay?" He asked concerned.

She immediately threw her arms around his neck and kept her head on his chest as she sobbed silently.

He didn't know what to do because he didn't know how to express concern, how to make anyone feel okay. So he could only held her close to his heart and say, "Baby, I'm here with you. I'm here, Baby."

If only he could understand, he wasn't calling her Baby because it was her name. He was calling her Baby because he loved her, maybe more than Ruhan ever loved his Aneri.
