chapter 70

YOU ARE THE RHYTHM OF MY HEART!GChapter 70 :Nandu led him to a quieter corner and explained everything, how Laila had threatened him, how he let her go, even if it meant risking defeat.“But Dad”, he said, his eyes sparkling with pride,“I never imagined Aadhya would act so boldly and take control of the situation. I’m truly proud of her”.Nodding in satisfaction, Yeshwanth replied,“Yes, indeed! She’s a gem. She may look like an innocent, fragile girl, but she knows how to handle situations with grace and wisdom. I’m proud to have her as my daughter-in-law”, he added with pride in his voice.Once the competition concluded, all the models were invited onto the stage. They walked gracefully, each taking their designated place.Nandu and Yeshwanth returned to their spots, standing aside and watching the scene unfold.After a brief appreciation of the new designs and the models' talent, the anchor began announcing the winners.First came the third place, then the second. The audience held their breath, the air thick with anticipation.“Guess who won first place!”, the anchor teased. “Anyone want to take a guess? I’ll count down from ten to one. If you guess it right, you get to announce the winner!”.Nandu clenched his fists, his heart pounding as he anxiously awaited the result. His eyes darted to Rajveer, whose tense expression mirrored his own.Then his gaze shifted to Aadhya—standing elegantly, powerfully, commandingly. She captured everyone’s attention with her dazzling smile, her killer looks, and the confident way she carried herself.Nandu couldn’t help but feel surprised, amazed, amused—and overwhelmingly proud of her.The anchor began the countdown and had just reached four when they paused and spoke into the microphone once more.“No guesses from anyone? So pitiful!”, the anchor teased. “Can’t you all predict who clinched first place?”.They resumed the countdown—three—.Just as the anchor shouted "two", the crowd erupted into cheers and loud yells, screaming,“KRISH! KRISH! KRISH!”.With a wide grin and full of enthusiasm, the anchor joined in, announcing,“Yes! You’re absolutely right! First place goes to Krish Creations, marking a hat-trick of success for them!”.The crowd applauded thunderously.The anchor continued, voice brimming with excitement,“Previously, the personal assistant of Mr. Anand Krishna, founder of Krish Creations, accepted the trophy on his behalf. But this time, we have a very special moment. Mr. Anand Krishna himself will be receiving the trophy, as he has recently made his public appearance—revealing his identity for the first time!”.“We proudly invite Mr. Anand Krishna onto the dais to accept the award”.With those words, the spotlight turned toward Nandu—but to everyone’s surprise, he wasn’t in his designated seat. Murmurs spread through the crowd as people looked around, searching for him.-  *KRISH*
