Chapter-19
AA HI GAYA WOH DIN!
They got seated in the conference roo. After a few minutes Laura and Andrew also joined them.
Laura- Hello everyone! And congratulations once again.
Everyone smiled as a token of gratitude.
Andrew- Now let us spill the beans. The next competition is really tough. It is not difficult in the sense of tough but it is tough because of the time you got.
Everyone was confused.
Laura- Let's not be Dumbledore! The next round is tomorrow.
Everyone was shocked. They couldn't really get what they meant.
Andrew- Yes, the final round is tomorrow where you will have to give not only one but 2 performances.
Laura- Let me explain! Tomorrow we will have the 4 of you performing.
Andrew- And from the four of you only 2 will get to perform in the GRAND FINALE. I mean to say the final showdown.
Laura- The rest of the 2 will be runner ups.
Andrew- From the two in final showdown, only 1 will win. And don't make us tell you again what.
Laura- But for the preparation you have only a day and half. And you have to have a topic for the performances which remains the same but is depicted in a better way in the different performances.
Andrew- That's it! You know the rules already. So all the best guys!
And they went away. Nisha didn't look at Kabir and left for the shooting arena. Kabir also left for rehearsal hall.
IN Rehearsal hall
Priyal- Ek din mein? Pagal ho rahe hain kya?
Ka- We have no other option left. If we have to win this competition, we have to work hard. Get your seat belts on.
They started practicing.
IN Shooting Arena
Austin- Are they seriously mad? It is impossible. Two acts in one day!
Ni- I know Austin but this is why we came here. We have to fight. Are we ready guys?
Everyone- Yes ma'am!
They started practicing.
It was lunch time. Nisha's team decided to have lunch together to waste less time in collecting everyone and similar was the idea of Kabir's team.
The day went by and it was the final competition day.
IN EVENING
Nisha went to her team's green room. Nisha was wearing a black designer skirt and a plain shirt inshirted (LIKE IN KRPKAB)
Ni- So, everyone ready?
Everyone nodded but Nisha could see nervousness on their faces.
Ni- Look, today I am going to talk to you as a teacher and not as the owner. You all have done immense hard work and remember hard work always pays off. The amount of effort you have put in won't go away in water. Just keep your focus on.
She went to Nancy and put up the lace of her frock which she was trying since long.
Ni- Nancy, you have to show your anger but this time in a strong manner. Remember the thing that annoys you the most. You will hit bull's eye.
She went to Aria and helped her with her belly.
Ni- Aria, don't forget the steps of dance and don't feel nervous. We know you won't let us down. Just have the same confidence that we have in you.
She went to the other members and gave them some advices. She came and stood in the center.
Ni- Remember our topic, Love can conquer Hatred. We can do this. Do it for your loved ones. You parents, your siblings, your relatives, your friends, or whoever you feel is the most deserving but do it for them this time. I know we can. Who's with me?
She put her hand forward.
Nancy came up first.
Nancy- For ma'am!
Others also joined saying FOR MA'AM'. Nisha was overwhelmed by their gestured.
Ni-All the best everyone. I need to go now. But I will be around only. You can contact me whenever you want to. (to Austin) Austin stay with them and inform me about everything.
Austin nodded. Nisha was left.
Simultaneously Kabir went to his team's green room. Kabir was wearing a black colored 3 piece suit.
Ka- Everyone ready?
Everyone was confident because Kabir told them everything in the morning.
Everyone- Yes sir!
Ka- (smiled) That's like my team. And remember don't lose the expressions or we lose marks. Also don't forget the steps. If you feel like you are forgetting catch up immediately with the neighboring ones. I know you all can do it, can't we?
Everyone shouted- Yes sir!
Ka- Now we are talking. Aur ab kuch khaana peena mat karna or else you will have stomach ache after performing. I am going. If there is any problem you can call me.
Kabir also left. Nisha was already seated in the corner and the seat beside her was occupied. Kabir sat in the other corner. Mayank Sharma also came with Katherine. Nisha went to meet them and so did Kabir.
Ni- So you announced?
Mayank- Yes we did!
Ka- Congratulations guys!
Mayank- By the way Nisha someone told me that I was your crush once.
Ni- Trust me you are my crush even today.
They laughed.
Katherine- What about you two?
Nibir looked at each other with pain in their eyes.
Ni- The competition is going to start. Why don't you join us?
Mayank- Sure!
They went and sat on the seats allotted to them. The teams started performing. It was the time for performance of Target Locked. Nisha was excited. They started performing. There were devils who were shooting when the angels came down and tried to stop them. They did arial act also. Just then Kabir got a call. He saw the caller id.
Ka- (whispering) haan Priyal!
Priyal- Sir, there is a big problem. We need your help right now. Please!
Ka- Okay I will be there.
Kabir went to the green room. Nisha looked at his tensed face but she ignored it because right now her students needed her.
IN THE GREEN ROOM
Ka- What happened Priyal?
Pr- Sir, Ananya ki dress fat gayi. It is almost torn.
Ka- Oh god! What are we gonna do now? Ours is the last, the ongoing performance is the last third. We have got 10 minutes to fix it.
He knew he cannot handle it and he cannot call Viraj inside because no one is allowed in the green room section. Kabir got only one name in his mind. He texted Nisha,
Hi Nisha, I know that we are not on talking terms right now but there is some problem with my team. I would be really obliged if you come and help us. Please!
Nisha saw the text. She first of all thought of saying no but she thought rationally and replied,
Okay! I will be there.
Nisha went. She reached the green room. Kabir explained everything.
Ni- (tensed) Kabir this is net. No one can fix it.
Everyone got even more tensed.
Ni- wait! I have got an idea! (To Hardik)Hardik can you please get a double sided tape from the reception? A long one please!
Ka- (annoyed) Nisha are you mad? We cannot fix it with a tape.
Ni- Look you have called me so you need to believe me and whatever I do.
Ni- Priyal please bring some roses from outside.
Kabir didn't say anything after that. Nisha took the double sided tape and placed it on the places where the net was torn. She took the roses from Priyal and broke off the stems. In the process she hurt her finger.
Ka- (out of concern) Nisha!
He took her finger.
Ni- Later! (she released her finger)
She put those roses on the double sided tape.
Ni- Finally done!
Everyone looked at the girl's dress.
Pr- Beautiful ma'am. But do we also have to do this with our dresses?
Ni- If you have time you should.
Har- Thank you ma'am.
Ka- Thanks Nisha!
Nisha left without saying anything. Kabir knew that Nisha won't talk now. Just then he got a call from his mother. He saw the caller id and got angry. He wanted to trash that phone right now but he knew it was important for the trip. He cut her call. Vasu tried again. He cut it yet again. It was time for their performance. He went back to his seat. The final performance of Kabir's team was over. The result was to be announced after 15 minutes and so it was a break. Nisha saw Gaurav and Viraj along with their wives and Kj. She went to them. Kabir also saw them. Viraj gestured him to come but he just smiled from there. Except for Viraj no one understood it. Nisha didn't reach by that time and so didn't see it.
Ga- Well done! Beautiful performance.
Ni- Thanks Gaurav! Vaise tum log kab aaye?
Ga- thodi der pehle.
Gaurav saw one of his friends (jisne jugaad lagaya tha).
Ga- we will be back.
Gaurav took Shanaya with him.
Kj- Mb aapne aaj perform nahi kara?!
Ni- Kj today the performance was of the team, not the owner.
Kj- OH!
