Halls of Fame-part 113 pg 23 - Page 9

James crossed his fingers while Naina kept her eyes fixed on the ICU ward. Fresca quietly went to the adjacent church. Fresca knelt down and prayed for Anjali's well-being and sound health and the union of Anjali and James. The Father who saw Fresca's tears, silently prayed for the worried soul.

James realized that Fresca wasn't with them. He tried messaging her but to no avail. Soon, Fresca returned and with her return, Sameer and Jay came out with joyous faces indicating that Anjali is out of danger. She just needed to get her consciousness back. However, Jay mentioned that Anjali might need sufficient bed rest for approximately 3 to 6 months for her right leg is fractured.

James:I'm glad that she's out of danger but it's because of me that she's in this state!!

Fresca:Heyy, don't say such things. She should have been a bit more cautious but there's no point in dwelling over whose fault it was. Now, Anjali's out of danger and that's all which matters!!I'll talk to her first for a while since I'll be going off to our institute in a short while. Ah, oh yes, Naina, please inform Addy and Raj about Anjali and that I'll be there to have a discussion with the students participating for tomorrow's carnival and I want them assembled in the hall. I need to talk to them before itz too late.

Fresca:How are you Anjali? Not too bad, I suppose!!

Anjali:I'm pretty ok, now that you guyz are here to cheer me up

Fresca: Listen, I know it is not the right time to ask but I just feel that you should give an answer to James on what he had asked you. He's truly sincere and earnest in his request!!Hey, don't take it as if I'm recommending him to you,alrite??

Anjali:Haha...it looks liek that!!Anyways, itz true that I used to love him but I can't take Ari's place in his heart!!Itz not right to do that!!!

Fresca:Have you ever wondered what Ari & James had been going through ever since you had left without completing your degree then??Ari had been frequently depressed and neither me nor James could console her. She smiled often only in attempts to reassure us but we knew that she couldn't act well in front of us. And by the way who told you to take Ari's position??James just wants to share his life with you and he seeks your affection, love and friendship and your support and I seriously support his decision for there can not be a better suitor for him than you, Ms Anjali!!!

Anjali:Well I could say that about you and Addy, can't I???Why don't you say yes to him???If you do that I might as well say yes!!

Fresca stood up in shock!!

Fresca stood up in shock and turned to leave but Anjali held her hand.

Anjali:Got angry this fast???Come on girl answer me!!!

Fresca:Anjali you are talking about 2 different things....I have never loved Addy; itz just that I don't wish to hurt him and thatz why I just consented to him loving me and of course I don't have the mind to tell him to stop loving me...But regardless of that, you can't make your decision with my situation by trying to make me helpless...That is truly ridiculous!!!

Anjali:Don't worry and don't take take my words to heart for I just said it out of tension.. But do think of what I've said...

Fresca:That goes to you as well...I'll make my move!!!And you owe me some wishes for tomorrow!!

Anjali:I'm sorry that I can't ....

Fresca:Nope, itz ok. I am going off to do some final rearrangements and rescheduling..you don't have to worry about it. You just watch it and let me know how u'll like it....You can watch it from here since it's being aired live on television!!!Can you believe that???

Anjali:Wow...Itz a great day for you...

Fresca:Indeed it is but you don't worry so much for James will be with you and I don't wish to hear any complaints about you from James,k??Lol..take care babe!!!

Fresca was about to leave when Aditi had dropped by. Aditi talked to Anjali and had accompanied Fresca back to Halls of Fame where she listened to Fresca's discussion with her students.

Fresca displayed the 3 videos which was finalized the day before to the students. In the mean time, she quickly left to fax the Dance carnival itinery to Mr Alex who was the Director of Carnivals in charge of Laban Institute, one of the fierce competitors amongst the 10 schools that are participating.

Fresca returned to see the students awaiting her. Fresca had mentioned that both Anjali and James are away and might not be attending the Dance Carnival with them but despite that, they will be watching it live on television. In addition to that, Fresca introduced a fusion concept to the students via a video demonstration which she had done two years back with some students. Fresca voiced out her idea of trying to merge two classes into a fusion song. Aditi looked at the students who were quite nervous and anxious.

Aditi talked to them and convinced them that if Halls of Fame were in their hands and if they could do anything to help Fresca in the last minute, they would take it in their hands and excel not only in their performances but also in their strong will and persistence. Everyone agreed in union and decided to put on their best performances and started to rehearse in three different groups.

Fresca:What's wrong guyz???

Aditi glared angrily at Sameer, who gave a cheeky smile.

Aditi:Where were u Fres? It was a long while, like 2 hours since I saw you. What happened to your hand?

Fresca:Nothing Aditi; I forgot that there was a banner at our garage downstairs and my hand was at one of the sharp edges of the banner and I had absent-mindedly waved my hand real fast that it slit my palm. And at that point of time, Addy was there to help me out finding where the first aid kit was and he helped dress my wound.

Aditi:I see...Excuse me..

Fresca felt something else had taken place but no one's bothered to explain it.

Fresca gestured to Addy to find out what the matter was between Aditi and Sameer while she went forward to cheer her students!! They were improvising the steps for they had forgotten the newly learned steps but Fresca is elated that they were being carefree and blended their moves together to create a charismatic dance in sync. Thatz one beautiful experience she had seen in years; her students learnt what she and other choreographers were telling them to acquire for ages!!She wiped the tiny drop of tear of happiness, feeling the love a mother might have for her kid.

Addy saw her wiping her tears and enquired about it. Fresca asked him about Aditi and Addy told her everything what he found out.

It was soon Fresca's turn to end the evening with a short, sweet message. A lot had happened today, yet she thanked the audience as well as her creative heads and team for being there with her institute and being part of her greatest happiness.

Fresca socialized with the VIPs, bringing them for refreshments. Addy followed suit and talked to them, and managed to know that the ultimate result will be known by next week and that Jaggz and Fresca will be informed about it. Eventually, everyone left with goodie bags and a great smile, which brought a sense of accomplishment to Fresca and her team.

Addy went to brief the students of what's about to happen next for them while Fresca brought Aditi aside and talked to her.

Fresca: Aditi, Addy told me everything about what had happened. I am truly disgusted by this prank for it has gone far overboard. If James,Anjali,Raj and Naina weren't there, I will have really lashed out at Sameer and Jay.

Aditi:My heart had almost stopped beating for a while, u can say..Until you came back with Addy. I want to really get back at them!!They can't get away that easily. That idiot Sameer must be the mastermind of such pranks for I know Jay truly well enough.

Fresca:Hhmm...Idea!!Do u know how Maha had executed "silent treatment" on Jay a few weeks back?? It had really aggravated and irked Jay a lot and he practically tried all sorts of tricks to make her speak to him.

Aditi:Do u think itz gonna work on Sam??

Fresca:Silent treatment always works..But hey I am not dominating you neither am I compelling you..You have the capability of making use of this treatment to your advantage and ensure that it doesn't go too overboard..Know when you should stop,ok??

Aditi agreed. Soon, Sameer,Jay and Aditi left while James took Anjali to her room to rest.

Addy gradually came up to Fresca and asked her if she would like to go out with him for dinner. Fresca pulled his leg and asked him how he had the time to go since he hesitated a few hours back. Addy knelt down and told her that he would leave any work to go out with her for she is his life. However, Fresca rejected him and told him that she has no mood to leave for dinner tonight as she is quite tired.

Addy slowly walked away from her but returned to her with a proposal that if they could spend time having dinner on the rooftop of HOF. Fresca had her eyes wide open, which reflected her positive response in having dinner with him after all. Addy asked her to wait in her room while he get all the foods ready.

Fresca refreshed herself and changed into a haulter-neck black top. Just then, Fresca had started feeling a bit light-headed and nauseatic. While Addy was creatively preparing the foods, Fresca had unlocked the door to see if James was anywhere around but just then Addy was coming and Fresca quickly went inside and vomitted and fainted.
