Chapter 47

After raj leaves, Nisha comes to Shaleen to fill him up with her thoughts about what it will mean for Shaleen if he keeps living under the shadow of rahul - the rockstar. She starts off with all the stuff she had been speaking about rahul ever since she became part of this family and reaches to the point how this performance will decide shaleen's future.

Nisha~ "Shaleen, you know very well that people already expect you to deliver an absolute smashing performance as you are son of raj sabarwal and brother of great rahul rockstar. They don't know you by who you are but by whom you are related to. Even if you give the performance that has been expected of you, no one will give a damn about it. But if for some reasons it will get ruined... not one of them, not your dad or your beloved brother will come to save you from the living joke that you will become."

Shaleen~ "Enough Nisha! Can you ever... for once... not spill your venomous words about my dad and my brother? Every single time you open your mouth, all you speak is ill about them. They are my family and no matter what you think of them, I know they are not at all like the way you keep making them seem like. And even if they are... they are just as much my family as you are. No matter if they are right or wrong, I have been taught to care for them all as they are family... that is my upbringing. Unlike yours, who always look for wrong in people so they can find an excuse to move away from them."

Nisha~ "But Shaleen you are taking me completely wrong. I m only saying this out of concern for you."

Shaleen~ "If that is your excuse then fine... I will buy it. But this is the last time I will tolerate any word from you spoken against anyone in my family, including maanvi bhabhi."

Nisha~ "But Shaleen..."

Shaleen makes her stop by showing the face of his palm. "I said that is enough. I do not want to hear anything further in this matter. I have a show to perform tonight and I do not want you to distract me from my performance. So if you can please keep your mouth shut till after the show is done, I will be very thankful."

Nisha opened her mouth to say something but closed it and left the room. She would have loved to reply back but Shaleen needs to focus on his performance for tonight and feeling that there is more need for her silence than her arguments, she quietly left.

Nisha to herself, after closing the door behind her "I m not your enemy Shaleen. All I want for you is to succeed and rise above the reach of all. But if I argue over it with you right now and something bad happens during show, I will be blamed for speaking the truth and not the people who are responsible. I just wish everything goes well for both of our sakes."

Maanvi changed up her cloths into her salwar suit. She was humming the song rahul sang for her during the family get-together. She folded the saree she was wearing and about to place it with rest of the cloths for cleaning when rahul comes in and puts his arms around her from behind.

Maanvi~ "Oh god rahul, you almost scared me coming like a cat from behind."

Rahul~ "Oh, I almost scared you? Serves you right for singing the song alone and not with me. You know you and I... I mean, we have missed the morning riyaaz sessions?"

Maanvi~ "Yes I m aware that we missed our routine riyaaz."

Rahul~ "And do you also understand how will your baba react if he found out about it?"

Maanvi~ "Yes I understand. I know my baba far better than anyone else as I share the same passion for music as him."

Rahul~ "In that case... you wouldn't mind resuming our morning riyaaz session right now, would you?"

Maanvi saw it coming what rahul wished to get her to agree for with all this round-about discussion. It was no doubt that maanvi also wish the same as she enjoys her riyaaz sessions with rahul. Only difference is that maanvi wanted to look after her other responsibilities as well in the house while rahul gave his time with maanvi as his top most priority.

Maanvi~ "Rahul... how about we do it in just few minutes? I need to just run down and check up on dada ji - dadi ji's medicines, dinner preparations and be right back after that."

Rahul firming his arms around her "No. A very big No. You can ask chotu or any other person in this house to do it."

Maanvi~ "But rahul..."

Rahul~ "No ifs and buts. We are doing riyaaz right now. Or do you want me to call your baba?"

Maanvi~ "Wow! If not by convincing then by blackmailing? Since when have you started to call baba?"

Rahul~ "Ever since I became his favourite son-in-law."

Maanvi~ "Ok we will do riyaaz first but you will have to let me go."

Now that was something rahul wasn't ready for. He was counting on maanvi to keep making excuses for avoiding the riyaaz but her agreeing to it means that he will have to let her go. It took maanvi a short moment to realize this.

Maanvi~ "Rahul... we need to do the riyaaz. Or do you want me to call baba?"

Rahul~ "Why do you need to call baba? We are going to do riyaaz so no need to call him."

Maanvi~ "How can we do riyaaz if you are not letting me go?"

Rahul~ "Who said anything about me needing to let you go? We can just do riyaaz here as well."

Maanvi~ "Mr. rahul sabarwal, you are getting very naughty day by day." She turns around to face him and puts her arms around him.

Rahul~ "Mrs. Maanvi rahul sabarwal, its time you get used to it. Because I m not giving up on even a single chance to romance my beautiful wife, especially when she is humming a song I sing for her." He pulls her closer gazing deep in her eyes.

Just then Sonali comes in and catches rahul maanvi standing like that. Rahul maanvi did part away but not fast enough.

Sonali~ "Oh! sorry. I was just here to ask if maanvi has taken her fruit juice yet."

Maanvi and rahul both were nervous for been caught like that. They spoke together;
Maanvi~ "Y...Yes, mommy ji..."
Rahul~ "No... No, mom..."
They looked at each other as they both gave different answers.

Sonali couldn't help but smile at their fumbling. "You two are so adorable when you get like this. Its alright I will leave you two to it."

Rahul~ "Mom, I just... we were..." he searched for words but sonali understood.

Sonali~ "Its ok beta. No need to give an explanation. I will send some juice for maanvi and make sure she drinks it. Ok?"

Rahul~ "Sure mom."

Sonali leaves and rahul turns to maanvi who was blushing really hard.

Maanvi clutching her hands "Pata nahi mommy ji kya soch rahi hongi. Tum bhi na rahul..."

Rahul grabs her arm and pulls her around to face him "Tum bhi na kya? Kuch nahi sochengi mom. Hum kuch aisa waisa thode hi na kar rahe the. Tum jyada socho mat. Mom juice bhej rahi hain phir hum riyaaz karenge."

Maanvi still felt awkward been caught like that but what is done is done. Few minutes later chotu brought juice and maanvi drank it. Then rahul maanvi went on with their riyaaz. They rehearsed on their usual songs and in last 10 minutes they were joined by dada ji.

Dada ji listened to them singing and praised them. "Maine pichle janam mein kuch acha kiya hoga jo mujhe tum dono jaise heere mile hain. Kya awaaz hai, wah. Jab tum dono saath gaate ho to jaise hawa mein jadu cha gaya ho. Aisa lagta hai jaise ki tum dono ki awaaz jaise ek duje ke liye hi bani ho."

Rahul~ "Maine bhi pichle janam mein kuch acha kiya hoga jo mujhe maanvi jaisi jeewan sangini mili hai. Dada ji, aap ne ek bar poocha tha na ki kaun hai wo?"

Dada ji~ "Mujhe yaad hai, tumhare concert ke baad maine poocha tha."

Rahul~ "Uss samay main maanvi ko jaanta nahi tha par sirf uski awaaz suni thi. Sirf uski awaaz ko hi pehchanta tha."

Dada ji~ "Aur maine hi kaha tha ki jahan shiddat hai, sacha hai, to mulakat ek bar phir hogi."

Rahul~ "Aap bilkul sahi the. Mulakat bhi hui, aur sacha pyaar bhi."

Maanvi listened to their discussion and wondered when was this that they were talking about. After dinner when rahul and maanvi were alone in their room, maanvi asked.

Maanvi~ "Rahul, tum dada ji se kiss samay ki baat kar rahe the?"

Rahul~ "Jab agra mein sabse pehle maine tumhari awaaz suni thi tab ki."

Maanvi~ "Tumne meri awaaz kab suni thi, wo bhi agra mein?"

Rahul~ "Ek sham baarish ho rahi thi aur tum uss undercontruction building mein thi. Tab maine tumhe gaate hue suna tha."

Maanvi~ "Tum wahan kya kar rahe the?"

Rahul~ "Main aur Nikhil sabse bachkar ghumne nikle the. Acha hua nahi to main tumse kaise milta? Aur tum wahan kya kar rahi thi?"

Maanvi~ "Main aur meri friend rupa shopping karte hue late ho gaye the. Baarish se bachne ke liye uss building mein gaye the. Baarish ko dekh kar bas gungunane ka mann hua to..."

Rahul~ "Kismat bhi ajeeb hoti hai. Kaise humko pehli bar milaya aur bar bar milata chala gaya. Aur tum mere concert mein bhi aayi thi. Anjaane mein hi meri jaan bhi bhachayi. Hawa ke jhoke ki tarah aayi aur meri zindagi badal kar chali gayi."

Maanvi remembered the night at concert and when she stumbled near the power plug. She had thought everyone would grill her for ruining the show but she had no clue that she had accidentally saved his life. The thought that rahul would have been harmed ran a chill down her spine. Her face turned pale which rahul noticed.

Rahul~ "Kya hua maanvi?"

Maanvi~ "Agar tumhe kuch ho jaata to?" she spoke softly and half mindedly but rahul picked up the words.

Rahul took her hand in his hand and spoke "Kuch kaise ho jaata, kismet mein tumse milna likha tha to pura to hona hi tha. Aur tum mujhse itna pyaar jo karti ho, mujhe tumhara pyaar kabhi kuch nahi hone dega."

Maanvi looked up at rahul "Par uss samay main tumse pyaar nahi karti thi."

Rahul~ "Mujhe pata hai ki uss samay tum mujhe ek ghatiya kisam ka insaan samajhti thi. To kya tum mujhe mar..."

Maanvi put her hand on lips to not say the words. "Main bhale hi tumhe pasand nahi karti thi par tumhe kuch ho jaye aisa to kabhi nahi chahungi. Par kab tum meri pasand hi nahi, meri zindagi ki zaroorat ban gaye... mujhe pata hi nahi chala."

They shared an eye lock for few moments when rahul spoke to break the silence.

Rahul~ "Maanvi..."

Maanvi~ "Hmm?"

Rahul~ "Tum na iss tarah ki baatein mat kiya karo, nahi to main apne aapko rok nahi paunga. Phir tum shikayat karogi ki main shararti ho gaya hoon. Par mujhe shararat karne ke liye uksaata kaun hai?"

Maanvi looked up at him and she could notice the shine in his eyes right away that indicated what he was thinking.

Chapter 48

Maanvi smiled and pulled her hand out of his hand and tried to run away. But rahul was little quicker so he grabbed her arm and pulled her back. She fell right in his lap.

Rahul~ "Kahan bhag rahi ho?"

Maanvi~ "Tumhari shararaton se bhachane ki koshish kar rahi thi."

Rahul~ "Acha ji?"

Maanvi~ "Haan ji."

Rahul~ "Mujhse bhagne ki koshish to nahi kar rahi thi na?"

Maanvi~ "Meri itni majaal jo main tumse bhagne ki koshish karoon?"

Rahul~ "Chaho bhi to nahi kar sakti. Kyunki tum jahan par bhi ho, main tumhe dhoond hi lunga."

Maanvi~ "Mr. sabarwal, apne dil ko thoda kaboo mein kijiye. Aap aaj kal kuch zyada hi shararti ho gaye hain. Kisi par aapki shararton ka asar ho gaya aur wo aapki tarah shararti ho gaya to dekhlena..."

Rahul~ "Kisi par... matlab?" he got a little confused as he didn't catch the meaning.

Maanvi~ "tsk tsk tsk... rahul rockstar aur itna bhi nahi samajhte? Lagta hai ki normal life ki normal batein aapko samajh mein nahi aayengi." She said it and tried to get up but rahul grabed her again staring at her.

Rahul~ "Oye! Yeh kya paheliyon mein batein kar rahi ho? Jo kehna hai seedhe se nahi keh sakti?"

Maanvi~ "Ab rahul chodo bhi mujhe. Hum dono ko neend aa rahi hai to humko sone do." She tries to set herself free from his grip.

Rahul firms his grip around her and replies "Par mujhe to neend nahi aa rahi hai. Tumhe sona hai to aise hi so jao meri bahoon mein. Mujhe koi problem nahi hai."

Maanvi~ "Haan to maine tumhari baat thodi hi na ki thi."

Rahul~ "Acha? To yahan iss waqt mere aur tumhare alawa aur kaun hai?"

Maanvi smiled with her innocent gaze as she had been hinting this whole time which rahul was unable to understand till now. Rahul picked up that maanvi is hinting someone else being present in the room with them but didn't figure out who. Leaving him puzzled, maanvi gets up and fixes the bed to get some sleep. Rahul's eyes follow her around the room and keeps staring at the fixed smile she has stuck on her face. Finally it clicks to him that maanvi is hinting about the baby. Rahul smiles at his own innocence to not figuring out this sooner.

Rahul~ "Mrs. Maanvi ji, aap itni der se ghuma fira kar baatein kar sakti hain par seedhe seedhe nahi keh sakti."

Maanvi~ "Ab yeh bhi koi kehne ki baat hai kya? Koi bhi samajhdar itni der nahi lagata samajhne mein. Suna nahi hai kya ki samajhdar ko ek ishara hi kafi hota hai."

Rahul~ "To kehna kya chahti ho tum? Main samajhdar nahi hoon? Thoda der mein samajha to kya hua, ishara samajh to gaya na."

Maanvi smiles again and lies down on the bed. Rahul sits next to her with support of the headrest, staring at her. They keep looking at each other until maanvi falls asleep. After she falls asleep, rahul picks the blanket and puts it on maanvi. He comes close to her and kisses on her forehead wishing her good night. Maanvi smiles in her sleep at his touch.

Mr. khurana were on a call with someone.

"... But sir, this is sabarwals you are talking about. If they find out about this, Raj sabarwal will destroy me and my company..."

Mr. K~ "If you do it properly, no one will suspect anything. And I will have my men to help you out as well so don't worry. Just do as you have been told and I will get your company a contract that will make your company a brand of no compare."

"... Ok sir. I will do as you wish. But please take care of the rest..."

Mr. K~ "Rest is up to me. All you need to do is take care of your part well. The rewards are worth all the risks."

With an agreement reached between the two, the call is disconnected.

Mr. K~ "Let's see now, how you set up another support pillar for yourself raj. Slowly I will take away all your supports and you will fall under the burden of the evil you have done. My soul will rest only after the justice is done for all the wrong you did those past years."

He turns around to face the large photo on the wall belonging to gayatri and sees his reflection on it.

Mr. K~ "I have played this game long enough from the shadows. It is time that raj knows the face of the one who will haunt him in his dreams, making him realize and reflect over his deeds. The game will now be played in open. I need to bring raj to the justice that you and I truly deserve gayatri. I promised I will do anything to see the justice done but I cannot take the path of injustice myself or I will not be able to look you in the eyes. I make another promise to you today that I will not let other people suffer because of the fight between me and raj."

Mr. khurana closes his eyes and remembers the evening of rahul's recent concert. He has been dreaming of the eyes of gayatri and now he had realized that rahul has eyes that are like his mother. Ever since then he has felt guilty to have used rahul as the target to hurt raj. This guilt was hurting him within until he decided on a different course of action to reveal raj's deeds in front of the world.

Next day in Mumbai, everyone seemed to be getting ready for the big event in the evening. This event held many promises for the new singers: big stage, bigger audience, opening show as a great kick-off for a new singing career. When the environment is filled with this type of energy and enthusiasm, time flies faster than anything. All the new singers had been escorted to their allotted backstage rooms to prepare for their performances.

Shaleen leaves his room and takes a peek outside from the entrance to the stage. The stadium was flooded with people to listen to the new artists and their singing talent. The line-up for the performances belonged to the new artists who had recently launched their music singles or album within past 6 months. Since Shaleen also filled the criteria, it was easy for raj to get a spot for Shaleen in this event. This gathering is a mere stage for new artists to showcase their talent so they can get good opening platform since solo concert for singers at beginning of their carrers finds it hard to get good reception from the listeners.

Shaleen~ "Oh god! That is a huge crowd. I have only seen this kind of crowd for rahul but that was a different situation. I have never stood up in front of such a huge crowd before. What if I freeze?... What if I make some silly mistake during my performance?... What if people don't like my song?... What if..." Every tailing thought was leaving a sinking feeling in his chest as he was carring a lot of weight of expectations from Raj, Rahul, Nisha, and everyone who would have come here to listen to him.

"Shaleen!?.."

The sweet voice from behind broke shaleen's train of thoughts and he turns around to see who his caller is. It was a smart and gorgeous looking girl standing in front of him.

Shaleen~ "Neha? Neha Agarwal?" As he tries to recognize this strangely familiar person.

Neha~ "Yes, the one and only. Who else would you have expected to come walking all the way down here to check up on you?"

Shaleen~ "What a pleasant surprise! Honestly, I did not expect to see you here. What are you doing here? Last time we saw each other was in college. After that I heard you joined some modelling firm in Europe. I had no clue you were in India."

Neha~ "Wow! You have not changed one bit. Still the same Shaleen I used to know back in college. As for what I m doing here... I m working."

Shaleen~ "Working?... Here?..."

Neha~ "Yes. The music company I work for is one of the sponsorers of this event. So, they have asked me to come down here and host it."

Shaleen~ "You are the host?! Does that mean I get special privilege?"

Neha~ "Oh no you don't. Just because I know you from college does not mean you can use me to get special privilege. By the way, you already got your hands on one of the privilege already."

Shaleen~ "What privilege?" He got a little confused on being accused by neha.

Neha~ "I was in a daze to hear about a last minute new addition to the list of performing artists. Not to mention the shock I got when I heard the name Shaleen sabarwal as that last minute addition. I was like, could it be?... Then I had to come down to check up myself whether it is the same person or someone else with the same name. Such a small world we live in, right?"

Shaleen~ "It is a small world that we meet here of all the places in the world. And this last minute addition is my dad's idea. Whatever may have been, I m glad that I came here."

Just then Nisha comes along. She was looking for Shaleen in his room but she got worried as he was not there.

Nisha~ "There you are Shaleen, I have been looking for you everywhere." She didn't notice the person he was standing with.

Shaleen~ "Nisha, did you recognize her?" he said indicating towards neha.

Nisha looked at Neha and didn't take long to recognize her. "Hi neha. It is so good to see you. How are you? Such a long time..."

They would have talked a little bit longer but another guy comes along and lets neha know that it is time to start the event. Neha asks Shaleen to head back to their backstage room as the performances will begin shortly, which means that Shaleen needs to get ready for his performance, while Nisha will join the VIP section with Raj and other special guests of this event. Neha expresses her enthusiasm to watch shaleen's performance before making her way towards the stage. The three of them parted away with a promise to catch up later. Neha comes on stage and addresses the audience. She invites the chief guests and the show kicks off.

As soon as Shaleen is alone in the room, the sinking feeling returns, worse than before. He felt as if the weight of the burden to live up to everone's expectations has just increased like ten folds, especially as now there is one more person who knows him, and would expect good performance from him.

"...I very much look forward to see your performance. Afterall, Sabarwal is not a name that is taken lightly in the musical world as I hear..."

These words neha spoke before she went on stage still echoed loud-n-clear in shaleen's mind.

A guy knocks on door and announces "Shaleen sir, we are ready for you."

Shaleen gets up from his chair, puts on the ear piece and looks at himself in the mirror "Ok, I m ready."

Back at sabarwal mansion, everyone was perked up to watch the live show on TV. Dada ji, Nikhil and payal sat on the front seats, dadi ji and Sonali on one side while rahul maanvi on the other side. Payal and Nikhil were having fun with snacks and jokes till the performances starts, while dada ji, dadi ji, Sonali were simply listening to the opening speech by the chief guests of the show.

Maanvi~ "Rahul, how does it feel to not being the one in front of the camera but in front of the TV and watching someone else perform?" she whispered to rahul.

Rahul~ "Me? I m just enjoying the peace I have for once." He replied as he let himself stretch and lay back on the sofa. "I love being on the stage, but sitting here, relaxing... feels good too. This way I can get some time off to spend with you... ahem, I mean family."

Maanvi~ "I understand it very well Mr. sabarwal. Its not like you don't get enough time to spend with family. You just like to spend most of your time with me."

Rahul~ "Correction... I don't like. I love spending most of my time with you. And I know that you feel the same way Mrs. Sabarwal."

Maanvi~ "You sound very sure of yourself. So much overconfidence is not good for you."

Rahul~ "This is not overconfidence. This is the bond we share, cherish, and preserve with very moment we spend together. Tell me if I m wrong." They looked in each others eyes as he said this.

Maanvi~ "Here I almost thought that you would say the same old dialogue of yours... That it is the charm of rockstar rahul which no one can ever resist. You do surprise me with your answers sometimes."

Rahul~ "That my dear wife, goes without saying. And I m rockstar rahul sabarwal. I don't repeat my dialogues, which just adds to my charms."

They smiled to simply enjoy their moment.
