chapter 6

"Perfect" Sanjay clapped at Bhumi who is standing nervously in the live room before the mic stand.Bhumi gave a faint smile and walked towards Sanjay."Perfect" Sanjay sat there whirling a bit in the chair.Bhumi doesn't know how to respond to his applause. She never wanted to become a singer.She learned singing for her mom's sake, She is a singer couldn't grab good opportunities because of different reasons.She insisted her children to learn music for her sake but never compelled them to take it a profession.Bhumi always dreams about getting a corporate job and earn money, just make things easier for her mom and brother. But now she has no choice.She is in desperate need of money.The only breadwinner in the family, her mother left her two children insanely alone in this cruel world."Bhumi" Sanjay spoke her namepeeping into her eyes."Sir..." She stammered."You are too good," He said sincerely smiling at her."Thank you" She smiled back."Come" He got up from the chair and walked to the adjacent room.They both occupied opposite chairs on a sofa and simply staring at each other.Sanjay simply enjoys this silence, He can read her emotions through her eyes, it's quite interesting to him.On the other side, Bhumi is worried, worried about several things, which she can't share with the opposite person sitting to him."I will talk to my manager and make the necessary arrangements, ""You can sign the contract tomorrow," He said in a cheerful tone."Sir..." She sighed and smiled nervously.He knows she wants to say something.If his guess is correct she wants to finish her course before getting into this contract."Don't worry, I will be there" He hesitantly forwarded his hand and patted her hand gently assuring her.She smiled a bit and looked at him, gently taking away her hand.Sanjay felt he shouldn't have don't that, he quickly clenched his fingers."I have one more semester to complete sir....." She gasped some air and looked at Sanjay."I couldn't be available all the time, I need to attend college.""These three months are so crucial for me," She said without meeting his eyes, she doesn't have that courage."Three more months." He sighed and closed his eyes thinking about it.She knows she can't take advantage, the person before she is Sanjay.She bites her tongue, she is too quick to ask it, she slumped her shoulders.He didn't talk for a second, it hurt her."If you want I can do it later......" She is about to say something quickly to rectify her mistake before things go out of her hand."No need."He insisted and smiled."Just three more months.""We will plan the concert after three months, after your exams. Till then we will record some singles." He declared.She couldn't believe his words.She starting thinking about his words.Why is he okay with it?Why will be he?Will, he does the same thing if some other is in her situation? She question."I will do the same thing" He smiled.She got surprised, how could he read her expressions? opinions?She shook her head slightly."I don't need to read psychology for that, Bhumi, I know how important for you to finish the course""You are the topper," He said getting up from the sear and moving towards the window."How do you know...?" He has this habit of surprising her.This time she is afraid, how does he know about her?She quickly lifted her head and glared at him"I am not a stalker Bhumi" He turned around and smiled."I studied at the same college," He said shoving his hand in his pocket."And I know well what a student like you think" He beamed.Interestingly, She sat there gazing at the floor.A weighty silence fell upon the room.Suddenly the person before her seem mysterious, he truly knows how to make her think about him, only him.Her heart missed a beat.She is sweating profusely, her eyes are fluttering, she couldn't stop praising his charm.His touch, warmth in his touch, made her heart flutter.She squeezed her eyes shut and gasped some air.She needs to leave now itself, she doesn't know what will happens as time passes.She stood up and grabbed her bag.A smirk appeared on his lips.She too started feeling something, he smiled at the thought."Will meet you tomorrow." He shouted from her behind.She started walking hastily lowering her head with a goofy simper on her face.In a hurry she collided against something, someone and slumped on the floor.Sanjay laughed from her behind making her squeeze her eyes shut in embarrassment."I am sorry" She heard a voice and slowly opened her eyes to see a Handsome man standing in front of her with a grumpy face.Sanjay looked at their faces, again and again, one after the other and burst into another round of laughter."Sanjay" He shouted with a pale face."Neeraj, My buddy"This time Sanjay swallowed the chuckle.He knows its not good for him to mess with the person before him, Mr.ARROAGNT.Neeraj's eyes softened and looked at the girl in front of him.She is struggling a bit to gather things and stumbled for a second.Neeraj gave his hand to her and glared at Sanjay.Sanjay stood there pursing his lips, He is truly in a cheerful mood, he didn't pay much attention to his digging glare."My fault" She stood up with his help and faked a smiledNeeraj grinned with a faint nod."Neeraj, Meet Bhumi" Sanjay came forward and introduced her."Neeraj, my best buddy, my brother" He introduced him to BhumiBhumi is feeling embarrassed, Sanjay could see it. Her eyes are glancing here and there not ready to meet his gaze."Hai" Neeraj felt bad for her for a second, he knows how manipulative Sanjay is?"Sanjay" He muttered for making the situation awkward for both.She greeted back with a small smile."See you tomorrow."He remindedThis time Sanjay whispered in her ear making her shudder.She nodded and walked away without a single word, keeping a pale faceNeeraj stood there looking at these two, he wants to know what exactly going between two.To be continued.Please do vote and commentPlease let me know how it is.Thank you.Take care
