Invisible Strings * Ongoing*

9.Disrupting My Orbit

I feel shock rake through my being again at that – " what??????????? what did you just say???????"

He answers instantly – " I said, exactly what you heard, Khushi????"

I ask again frazzled – " you want me to come to your concert tomorrow??"

The thought off seeing him perform up live – for the very first time – hits me like a meteor yet again.

He says – " ofcourse, I do...,"and I hear Aman's voice call out to him again and he says – " sorry, I gotta go now khushi... what say, you'll think about it? let me know over dinner??"

I say on reflex before I can even control the fumble of my words – " but wait...isn't it like house full already? All sold out??Your concert?? How will...I even...??"

And to that I hear him say instantly chuckling – " really? you think I wouldn't get the free pass to invite who I want too? all of us as performers – get special passes...Khushi...so is that a yes??will you come??cmon you cannot say no to that, it would be unfair to my singing talen..remember??,"he asks the tinch of hope – quite evident in his voice.

Oh yup. Ofcourse he'd get exclusive passes. HE IS A ROCKSTAR NOW! - my mind reminds me..

I just say casually even though all of me within is shaking and trembling – "so..I don't know about that.I'v never really been to any of these concerts before....."

He insists with all that intensity back in his voice – " about time that changed, Khushi? don't you think??"

Okay. Seriously. He gotta stop on that Intensity meter.Why? It weakens me in my knees.He just doesn't need to know that. I keep my casual cover on – "I don't know..yet....but..yeah...I'll think about it – maybe??"

And he kind off sighs in relief at that – " thank you for saying that..k..bye for now..see you then Khuhshi?? in 90 minutes??"

And I muster a – " Yeah...k?see you...,"before we finally hang up and I spot Manizeh gaping at me with a grin as she asks – " did he just ask you to come to his concert tomorrow??"

I nod – shaken – " yeah, I guess, he just did..."

She grins – " he's just securing another way to see you tomorrow already....damm right you were..freaking meteor he is...Khushi..."

And I can only gape back at her in a shocked daze – with all of my insides already tremoring on the imagined emotional impact off seeing him perform up Live on Stage! Manizeh's phone rings with Amaar's call and she takes it – leaving me with another couple of minutes to just soak it through..

Oh Godammit..

Another point of discovery. Guys.Looks like my emotional orbit that was just in the middle of crazy disruption is now headed for a full blown collision impact...

Would it combust me?

Blow me apart?

Burn me??

I don't really know....

Can I escape this? Do I want to escape this?

Not Really.

Okayyyy!

Okay...

Bring it On.Arnav....Bring it On....

Guys - I am not going to back off out of this or find ways to escape...

Why? Because – I just discovered - I am done being the only one – hit and impacted. I am seven years ahead into the story of my Life. I am freaking confident of the woman I have become. And it totally feels like it will not be just/fair to my journey within otherwise – if I keep seeking the comfort off backing off/escapism – going forward.

 I had never imagined any of this would even happen, but now that it is happening – Arnav has kinda left me with two choices. Collide or Flee. And I feel like- I am just done, fleeing.And as I channelize my sense of self belief now – it just instils the seed off conviction within me quite strongly. What conviction -? That it's about time, I also initiate a full-blown collision mission from my end – too.

Why?

Because – even though my logical minds still clouded with confusion - something in his tone this time too, told my intuitive gut that perhaps – there could be a chance that I still got some access to his trigger buttons.

Only fair to feel all curious to know – if that stands true? Perhaps - I can be a cause of disruption to his Orbit – Still? In the present too?
