Meera's eyes widen at that as she asks grinning – " bro, is that what I think it is?????"

Arnav nods. Meera obviously knows the significance of what lies in the gift box..

He hears Meera say now grinning – " go on, just do it...brother...you will catch her off guard with this for sure...and then maybe..."

Arnav winks – "and maybe, her eyes will give her away..."

And with that – he finally hangs up on the call – biting back on his grin in crazy anticipation. Every performer had a green room, reserved for them and Arnav's was luckily at the corner – far end – which meant it wouldn't be too much of a hassle to arrange what he wanted – in the moment. He just needed – Aman's brilliant assistance on this.

It is also right then, Aman walks in to the green room, in the backstage zone as he says – " okay...brother...I was just checking up...on everyone...the rest are still getting ready...as there is still 30 mins to go...only as usual..are well in time...stage, band, rest all is set, the arena is getting filled...at a rapid rate...indeed...,"but just as Aman looks at Arnav's face he pauses on with what he was saying - and asks understanding the knowing look – " okay, what is it that your mind has come with now? brother??what do you want me to help you with????"

Arnav grins – " help me see...Khushi...now...please? Aman??"

Aman looks at him wide – eyed at that – " what??? now??? backstage????? Here in the green room??"

Arnav nods – " isn't the first time, we'd have visitors in green rooms, Aman. Family, friends – are always allowed. Plus – you know she's more than that – anyone asks – just say that.K? Khushi's anyway all of that – combined..help arrange one of these backstage passes for her if need be...one for Manizeh too, I guess, for she'll fret about it otherwise..is it doable??though? I mean, do it the right way, take permission, you know I don't like to break rules..."

Aman grins at that as he says looking into his phone – "alright , alright, yes its doable...ofcourse it is, you are crazy to even doubt that. As much as I love your humility brother, but its also amusing, how you sometimes forget who you'v become. You are ASR – remember? The organisers are not going to deny your visitors a backstage pass – man..,"and he pauses to remind Arnav – " but dude, for me to even make this happen, you need to first check with Khushi – if she has arrived, like what if she is running late...,"And needless to say – Aman didn't have to say the rest for Arnav had already picked up his phone at that – in a speed of light.

In The Arena –

Manizeh looked at the huge crowd around them, with enthusiastic fans still continuing to fill every damm seat around in her vision. It really was a jamm-packed – house-full – sort of a situation. The buzz in the air was obviously, all exhilarated and excited – already -even though, there were still 30 minutes for the concert to begin. They'd all just arrived in ten minutes prior and had gotten themselves seated – just three minutes ago.
