WINDS OF DESTINY
It was three months already that Arohi Was back on the industry. To the world she was a great singer. it didn't take much time for the girl to gain her popularity and fame. She was rather recognized as a strong/rough/tough personality now. But only some people knew the real Arohi. The Arohi who had a lot of pain in her. The Arohi who was dying every second yet acted off as nothing had ever happened.
It was 8 a.m in the morning. It was a free day for Arohi as she'd decided to cancel all the appointments, concerts, records. She was sitting on the sofa of her garden with a pen and paper on her hand.
She was trying to write the lyrics for her new song . She started writing
You see a girl holding a rose
But not the blood dropping down her hands
You see a girl with a smile plastered on her face
But not the tears rolling down her cheeks.
You see a girl with all the happiness of the world
But not the sorrows embedded in her life''.
You see a girl screaming
But not the silence buried deep inside the cervices of her heart
You hear a girl laughing
But not her soul crying for u
You see a girl cursing
But not the blessing bestowed on you
You see a girl with freedom
But not the bars around her
You see a girl in the castle of dreams
But not the girl trying to escape from reality
You see a girl helping others
But not the concern for u
You don't feel my solitude
You don't listen to my heart that beats just for you
She took a deep breath after completing those lines and took a sip of her coffee. She went towards the fish pond and looked at the shadow formed on the pond.
Staring at the shadow she muttered to herself "Who am I? And how I wonder, will this story end? . . .
My life? It is'nt easy to explain. It has not been the rip-roaring spectacular I fancied it woulf be, but neither have I burrowed around with the gophers. i suppose it has most resembled a bluechip stock: fairly stable, more ups and downs, and gradually tending over time. A good buy, a lucky buy, and I've learned that not everyone can say this about his life. But do not be misled. I am nothing special; of this I am sure. I am common lady with common thought and I've led a common life. There are no monuments dedicated to me, and my name will soon be forgotten, but I've loved another with all my heart and soul, and to me, this has always been enough.
The romantics would call this a love story, the cynics would call it a tragedy. In my mind, it's a little bit of both, and no matter how you choose to view it in the end, it does not change the fact that involves a great deal of my life and the path I've chosen to follow. I have no complaints about the places it has taken me, enough complaints to fill a circus tent about other thins, maybe, but the path I've chosen has always been the right one, and I would'nt have had it any other way.
Time, unfortunatley, does'nt make it easy to stay on course. The path is straight as ever, but now it is strewn with the rocks and gravel that accumulated over a lifetime . . .
There is always a moment right before I begin to read the story when my mind churns, and I wonder, will it happen today? I don't know, for I never know beforehand, and deep down it really doesn't matter. It's the possibility that keeps me going, not the guarantee, a sort of wager on my part. And though you may call me a dreamer or a fool or any other thing, I believe that anything is possible.
I realize that odds, and science, are againts me. But science is not the answer; this I know, this I have learned in my lifetime. And that leaves me with the belief that miracles, no matter how inexplicable or unbelievable, are real and can occur without regard to the natural order of things. So once again, just as I do every day, I begin to call him loud in my heart, so that she can hear it, in the hope that the miracle, that has come to dominate my life will once again prevail.
And maybe, just maybe, it will."
Arohi was interrupted by A voice from behind
"Arohi"
"Angad'Morning " She said turning towards her best friend. Who was always there, when he broke her heart, when he walked away, when her dad left and who was there for everything.
"C'mon lets take a seat!"
She nodded and they went towards the sofa.
"Arohi'There was never a story of you two'Why then ?"
"No Angad'there was a story'story of us'And Our story had three parts : A beggining, a middle, and an end. And although this is the way all the stories unfold, i still can't believe that ours didn't go on forever.
"Arohi'You love him. But hurting yourself isn't love !"
"Angad you don't know whats love' Love is like the wind, you can't see it but you can feel it. I finally understood what true love meant...love meant that you care for another person's happiness more than your own, no matter how painful the choices you face might be."
"Arohi'I know you'll never ever forget him and what he did to you. But at least give love n life another chance . May be someone else can fill the empty space in your life."
My dad said that the first time you fall in love, it changes you forever and no matter how hard you try, that feeling just never goes away. And here I am stuck. Can you ever be able to move on if kripa and u part ways !"
"No I can't even think of that'but kripa's never hurted me and neither have I hurted her. But he tore you into pieces. "
"i fell in love with him despite of our differences, and once i did, something rare and beautiful thing was created inside my heart. For me love like that has only happened once, and that's why evy minute we spent together has been seared in my memory.So Its just not possible Angad. He turned me into pieces. I hate him like anything for that but what do I do ? He is stored in the most sacred place of my heart 'my temple of love"
"Arohi always remember'You always have a choice, And you are making the wrong one."
"I don't know whats wrong and right but Without him in my arms, I feel an emptiness in my soul. I find myself searching the crowds for his face ' I know it's an impossibility, but I cannot help myself. He is the answer to every prayer I've offered. He is a song, a dream, a whisper, and everything I have ever thought of, so its just not possible!"
"Arohi, I don't know what to say. How could he do this to you ? How can someone be so damn heartless ? You know how much it hurts Me, Kripa, Shefali and Sanchit to see you like this ?"
"I am sorry angad. But cut it off. What he did to me is just too bad. Lets just not talk about that. Tell me wheres the next records!"
"Ermm'London"
"Lo..Lonn..London ?"
"Yeahh'And it's the same place !"
"Uh When ?"
"Do you want me to cancel it ?"
"Why ? Just coz of him I won't loose millions of dollar. What do I show him ? that he still had that effect on me for what I can let go my career ? He already ruined my life, Now Again ? He shall be just another guy in the crowd for me. And don't worry about me. I have leaved in pain all my life. Just another trouble wouldn't harm !"
"Arohi Aluwahlia will always be her. "
"Yes, sure thing. By da way when are we flying ?"
"Day after tomorrow!"
"What ? Just a day before my birthday ? So unfair man !"
"As if you ever enjoy the party with your whole heart. "
"Anyway you guys would do a bang na ?"
"Did anyone say we aren't allowed to do bangs on London?"
The both giggled. After few mins of talk angad left and Arohi went towards her room.
After two days Arohi was their ready to go to London for the concert. It was a very big project for her. It was her second album's shoot and it had to be perfect. As this one was dedicated to her Dad.
A team of artists, cameraman and everyone was waiting for Arohi. They'd decided to meet at the airport. It was around 11-15 a.m. The flight was scheduled at 1-45 p.m. Since It was Arohi Aluwahlia the airport was hugely crowded with her fans. There was a huge police n security force. But still her die-hard fans managed to literally jump over her as she got out of her Volvo around 11-25 a.m.
Her bodyguards & Security had to pull up huge effort to make her enter inside the airport. Afte huge efforts and process The whole team entered the jet plane and took their seats.
Arohi was seated next to Shefali.
As the plane took off Evyone got silent and got busy in themselves. Angad & Kripa were romancing around. Sanchit was flirting wid a crew member Simmy Agarwal.
Shefali tried to start a convo wid Arohi who seemed busy staring at the empty clouds from the windows "Aru'em so excited yaar'London !"
Arohi sighed and said "London'Yeah ." With this she shut her eyes tight as the memories of past haunted her back .
As she entered the entrance of The "Wembley Academy of London" All the eyes were on her. Her High waist shorts and tang top made her look hot, which she in fact was. Her name was enough to allure anyone right there. Even though all the eyes were stuck on her, she'd not care. She was walking along unless she heard a voice wid extreme charm spoke up
"Look Who We have here at Wembley ? Ah, Arohi Aluwahlia'The teen sensation'The famous singer. The So Down to the earth hot girl !"
Arohi couldn't help but turn behind to have a look. And the next moment she turned behind the world stopped that moment. The moment her eyes met his she freezed. Her heart skipped a beat as she saw his face !"
Back then she didn't know those innocent eyes full of love would turn out to be her biggest fear. She felt asleep soon after and woke up as she felt someone nudging her. It was Shefali. From the past 10 mins Shefali was constantly screamin up 'Arohi' but she'd not respond and now there was the whole team gathered there.
"Ah finally Ms. Sleeping Beauty woke up" Said KRipa as she rolled her eyes.
"Kya huwa guys? Why you all here ?" Asked Arohi innocently.
"Coz we thought without the main celebrity singer we'd not be able to do anything !" Said Angad sarcastically.
"What ? Did We Land ?"
"No'We're Floating in the sky!" Said Sanchit which made the plane burst into laughter!"
"Shut up Dude ! Lets Go Noow!"
"Woah'First you don't wake up from your beauty sleep and second you scold us eh?" asked Angad.
"Okay baba'I am sorry man! Lets GO Now !"
"Ya Lets Go. C'mon guys get going." Announced Sanchit.
Arohi was the last of all to get down. As she stepped her foot to the ground a sudden shiver ran through her body. She felt a string of familiarity in the fury of wind.
