Chapter Three
Ramesh laughed out loud. ''Aap dono ki shaqal dekhne layak ho gayi thi. I was only kidding,'' (You should have seen your faces. I was only kidding) Ramesh said, in between laughs. Pragya and Suresh let out the breath they were holding. ''The checks are all done. You are both free to go.'' He finally said.
Pragya and Suresh made their way out of the store. Incidentally, Abhi, Aliya and Tanu were going in the same direction too but this went unnoticed by Pragya. Pragya finally relaxed and that's when she realised Bulbul wasn't around. ''Suresh, Bulbul kahan hai?'' (Suresh, where is Bulbul?) Pragya asked. Suresh looked around quizzically as if he had only just became aware of this. ''Tumse aisi halat mein usse akela kaise choda.'' (How could you leave her alone in such a state?) Pragya was worried now and sent Suresh to look for Bulbul while she tried ringing her.
''Excuse me. Pregnant lady coming through. Excuse me. Thank you. Pardon me. Thanks.'' The heavily pregnant woman meandered through the masses of people who had gathered to catch a glimpse of the Rockstar. She finally made her way to the front where she could get a clear view of the stage. People looked at her in surprise but the sound of guitar chords being struck had them cheering instead.
''Andekhi Anjaani kya yeh mohabbat hai. Chupke se milte dilon ki yeh chahat hai..'' (Unseen, Unknown, what is love? It's when two hearts meet quietly.) The crowd cheered louder. A man dressed in a black tee and black jeans descended from an aerial line. His tattooeed torso made the girls go gaga and his smile would make a thousand hearts melt. A lethal combination he was. Rudra jumped from the line and on the stage. The arm that was wielding a mike a few seconds ago now held his beloved guitar. ''Kyun pyaar ke sab deewane. Jo kho gaya woh hi jaane.'' (Why is everyone crazy about love. Only one who's lost in love will know.) ''Baatien kitabo ki... Raatien hai khwaabon ki..,'' (Its the stuff of fairytales... and nights spent dreaming..,) Bulbul sang along waving her arms in the air.
Suresh, who was now frantically looking for Bulbul saw a large crowd in front of him. ''Accident hua hai kya,'' (Has there been an accident?) he asked the bystanders. They looked at him like he was crazy.
Rudra, who had now seen Bulbul looked annoyed. He signalled for her to move. Bulbul shook her head as if to say no. He gave her a stern look and signalled her. Same thing. Finally he smirked and carried on with his performance. Bulbul was confused. She turned around only to find Suresh behind her, his face red with anger. He held her by the elbow and moved her to the back of the crowd. Angry as Suresh was, he couldn't deny Bulbul's happiness so he let her watch the show from the back and that's why Bulbul loved him. To say thank you, she pecked him on the cheek and held his hand.
